PROSPECTUS
BODY AND MIND INC.
173,048 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 173,048 shares of common stock Body and Mind Inc. (the “Company”) that may be offered and sold, from time to time, by the selling stockholders (each, a “Selling Securityholder”) identified in this prospectus. These shares consist of: (a) 52,545 post-consolidation shares of common stock issued by us upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants issued by us on November 14, 2017 in partial exchange for subscription receipts; (b) 60,250 post-consolidation shares of common stock issued by us upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants issued by us on August 15, 2017 to registered-broker dealers as partial consideration for services rendered in connection with the subscription receipts offering; and (c) 60,253 post-consolidation shares of common stock issued by us upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants issued by us on November 14, 2017 to registered-broker dealers as partial consideration for services rendered in connection with the subscription receipts offering. The subscription receipts were issued by us pursuant to an unregistered private placement at a price of CAD$0.66 (post-consolidation basis) per subscription receipt, which closed in four tranches on August 15, 2017, August 16, 2017, October 31, 2017 and November 10, 2017. On November 14, 2017, each subscription receipt was exchanged in accordance with its terms, for no additional consideration, for one share of common stock and one warrant.
The transactions pursuant to which the Company issued these shares to the Selling Securityholders are described in this prospectus under “Selling Securityholders.”
Our common stock is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “BAMM”. On March 11, 2020, the low bid price of our common stock on the CSE was CAD$0.29 per share, the high ask price of our common stock on the CSE was CAD$0.355 per share, and the closing price on the CSE was CAD$0.30 per share.
It is anticipated that the Selling Securityholders will offer to sell the shares of common stock being offered in this prospectus at prevailing market prices for the shares or in privately negotiated transactions. Any Selling Securityholder may, in such Selling Securityholder’s discretion, elect to sell such shares of common stock at fixed prices, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of our common stock by the Selling Securityholders.
We agreed to bear substantially all of the expenses in connection with the registration and resale of the shares offered hereby (other than selling commissions).
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in section 3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are therefore eligible for certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to reporting companies under the Exchange Act. (See “Exemptions Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act” on page 33.)
The purchase of the securities offered by this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. You should invest in our shares of common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should carefully read and consider the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20 before buying any shares of our common stock.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.
The date of this prospectus is March 12, 2020

We are a Nevada corporation that is a multi-state cannabis operator.

NMG produces cannabis flower, oil extracts and edibles under license in the state of Nevada, which are available for sale under the brand name “Body and Mind” in dispensaries in Nevada. In addition, we, through NMG, have a 30% interest in an Ohio medical cannabis dispensary, which also has a provisional production license. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary NMG Long Beach, LLC, we are managing a medical and adult-use cannabis retail dispensary in Long Beach, California. We, through NMG, have a 60% ownership in a San Diego medical and adult-use cannabis dispensary, which is still under construction and waiting for all licenses, permits, and authorizations. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary NMG Cathedral City, LLC, we have a brand director and brand licensing agreement with Satellites Dip, LLC who is a licensed cannabis manufacturer and through such arrangement our products are sold and distributed to numerous licensed dispensaries throughout California. Furthermore, we, through NMG, are managing a medical marijuana dispensary in Arkansas, which is still under construction.
Our common stock is registered under section 12(g) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and we are also a reporting issuer under the Securities Acts of British Columbia and Ontario. Our common stock is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “BAMM”, and our head office located at 750 – 1095 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 2M6.
Our website address is www.bamcannabis.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, our websites do not constitute a part of and is not incorporated into this prospectus, and the only information that you should rely on in making your decision whether to invest in our common stock is the information contained in this prospectus.
Risks Associated with Our Business
Our business and our ability to implement our business strategy are subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. These risks are discussed more fully in the section of this prospectus captioned “Risk Factors.” You should read these risks before you invest in our common stock. These risks include the following, among others: | ||
|
|
|
| ● | We have a limited operating history; |
|
|
|
| ● | We have incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to pay our debts as they become due; |
|
|
|
| ● | As a manufacturer and distributor of ingestible products, we face exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if products are alleged to have caused harm; |
- 6 - |
|
Table of Contents |
|
|
|
| ● | We face intense competition, and our competitors may have a longer operating history or greater financial resources allowing them to compete more effectively; |
|
|
|
| ● | Our cannabis crop could be harmed by pests, plant diseases or other agricultural risks, which would have a material adverse affect on our business; |
|
|
|
| ● | The cannabis industry is difficult to forecast due to the industry being in the early growth stages; |
|
|
|
| ● | U.S. federal law criminalizing the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use for medicinal or adult-retail purposes, with the result that strict enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis would severely restrict our ability to carry out our business plan; |
|
|
|
| ● | Under U.S. federal law, banks or other financial institutions that provide us with banking services could be found guilty of money laundering, which restricts our ability to receive reputable banking services and adversely affects our business operations; |
|
|
|
| ● | The Independent Alcohol Distributors of Nevada have obtained a preliminary injunction against the issuance of recreational marijuana licenses to anyone other than licensed alcohol distributors, with the result that we are unable to obtain a recreational marijuana distributor license, and this will have an adverse effect on our business operations; and |
|
|
|
| ● | Our Common Shares are categorized as “penny stock”, which may make it more difficult for investors to buy and sell our Common Shares due to suitability requirements. |

General Development of Our Business
Incorporation and Early Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 5, 1998, under the name Concept Development Group, Inc. In May 2004, we acquired 100% of Vocalscape, Inc. and changed our name to Vocalscape, Inc. On October 28, 2005, we changed our name to Nevstar Precious Metals, Inc. On October 23, 2008, we changed our name to Deploy Technologies Inc. (“Deploy Tech”) and, on September 15, 2010, we incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Deploy Acquisition Corp. (“Deploy”) under the laws of the State of Nevada, USA.
On September 17, 2010, we merged with and into Deploy under the laws of the State of Nevada. Deploy, as the surviving corporation of the merger, assumed all the assets, obligations and commitments of Deploy Tech, and we were effectively re-domiciled in the State of Nevada. Upon the completion of the merger, Deploy assumed the name “Deploy Technologies Inc.”, and all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Deploy Tech was automatically converted into and became Deploy’s – that is, our Company’s - issued and outstanding common stock. On November 14, 2017 we changed our name to Body and Mind Inc. in conjunction with the acquisition of NMG.
Acquisition of Nevada Medical Group, LLC
On November 14, 2017, we completed the acquisition of NMG pursuant to a share exchange agreement and assumed the business of NMG, a licensed producer and cultivator of cannabis products with operations in Nevada.
Prior to the acquisition of NMG, we were engaged in designing and developing technologies and products for the management of truck fleets by companies in the freight haulage, waste haulage, mining, industrial operations and manufacturing, military and law enforcement industries. We identified our proprietary technology and primary product, which we patented under patent #2798525 titled as “Load-Measuring, Fleet Asset Tracking and Data Management System for Load-Lifting Vehicles.”
While we continue to own and maintain this patent, our focus has changed to the business of cultivating and producing medical and adult-use recreational marijuana in the State of Nevada along with retail operations in California, Ohio and Arkansas as further described in the section titled “Business” below. |

Convertible Loan and Management Agreements with Comprehensive Care Group LLC
On March 19, 2018, we, acting through our wholly-owned subsidiaries DEP Nevada Inc. (“DEP”) and NMG, entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “CCG Convertible Loan Agreement”) and a management agreement (the “Arkansas Management Agreement”), respectively, with Comprehensive Care Group LLC (“CCG”), an Arkansas limited liability company, with respect to the development of a medical marijuana dispensary facility in West Memphis, Arkansas. Each of the CCG Convertible Loan Agreement and the Arkansas Management Agreement is effective as of March 15, 2019.
Pursuant to the CCG Convertible Loan Agreement, DEP has agreed to make loan advances to CCG from time to time in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,250,000. The loan proceeds are to be used to fund the construction of the medical marijuana dispensary facility in West Memphis, Arkansas, and to provide working capital to cover initial operating expenses. All pre-construction activities for the dispensary have been completed, and substantial construction progress has been made,
The loan facility will mature on March 30, 2021, subject to extension. Upon the later of: (a) one year after granting of a medical marijuana dispensary license by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission to CCG, or (b) one year after entering into the CCG Convertible Loan Agreement, DEP may, in its sole discretion, elect to convert all of the outstanding indebtedness into preferred units of CCG equal to 40% of the overall member units of CCG, subject to approval of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission.
Pursuant to the Arkansas Management Agreement, NMG has agreed to provide operations and management services to CCG’s retail facility, located in West Memphis, Arkansas, including management, staffing, operations administration, oversight and other related services. In consideration for such services, CCG has agreed to pay NMG a monthly management fee in the amount equal to 66.67% of the monthly net profits (as calculated under the Arkansas Management Agreement) of CCG for the immediately-preceding month. If DEP exercises its conversion rights under the CCG Convertible Loan Agreement, then NMG’s monthly management fee shall be fixed at $6,000.00 per month, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.
Acquisition of NMG Ohio LLC
At the time we acquired NMG, it already owned a 30% interest in NMG Ohio, LLC (“NMG Ohio”). On or around June 7, 2018, NMG Ohio was notified by the State of Ohio that it was awarded a medical cannabis dispensary license and a provisional production license. NMG Ohio has a cannabis dispensary carrying on business as “The Clubhouse” in Elyria, Loraine County, Ohio. On January 31, 2019, we through NMG entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining 70% interest in NMG Ohio. The consideration for the remaining 70% interest in NMG Ohio is to consist of cash payments totaling $1,575,000 and 3,173,864 common shares of the Company. As at the date hereof, we have issued 2,380,398 of the 3,173,864 common shares with a fair value of $1,448,805, and paid $1,181,250. Closing of the acquisition remains subject to receipt of regulatory approval, which is anticipated to be granted within the next 12 months, although this cannot be assured.
Strategic Investment and Commercial Advisory Agreements with Australis Capital Inc.
On October 30, 2018, we entered into a strategic investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Australis Capital Inc. (“Australis”), an Alberta corporation whose Common Shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), whereby Australis agreed to acquire: 16,000,000 units of our Company, with each unit being comprised of one share of our common stock and one common share purchase warrant at a purchase price of CAD$0.40 per unit, for gross proceeds of CAD$6,400,000; and an 8% unsecured convertible debenture of our Company in the principal amount of CAD$1,600,000 (the “Debenture”). The Debenture matures two years from the date of issue, and is convertible at the option of Australis into Common Shares of our Company at a conversion price equal to CAD$0.55 per common share up to the maturity date, subject to adjustment and acceleration in certain circumstances. On July 1, 2019, we entered into a conversion agreement with Australis, whereby Australis has agreed to convert the Debenture on July 1, 2020. Upon execution of the conversion agreement, we remitted CAD$148,339.72 to Australis as an advance interest payment for the period from November 2, 2018 to July 1, 2020. Upon conversion of the Debenture, Australis will receive 2,909,091 Common Shares of our Company. |

Table of Contents |
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we entered into a commercial advisory agreement (the “Commercial Advisory Agreement”) with Australis Capital (Nevada) Inc. (“Australis Nevada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Australis, pursuant to which Australis Nevada has agreed to provide advisory and consulting services to our Company for a fee of $10,000 per month payable on the first day of each month for a term ending on the date that is the earlier of (i) five years following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, and (ii) the date Australis no longer holds 10% or more of our Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement and subject to applicable laws and the rules of the CSE, for as long as Australis owns at least 10% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares, Australis will be entitled to nominate one director for election to our Board of Directors of the Company. If Australis exercises all of its warrants and converts all of its debentures, Australis will be entitled to nominate a second director for election to our Board of Directors. Further, for as long as Australis maintains ownership of at least 25% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares, Australis will be entitled to maintain two directors on our Board of Directors. Mr. Scott Dowty, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Australis, was initially appointed as a director of our Company to replace then-existing board member Chris Macleod, upon closing of Australis’s strategic investment under the Investment Agreement on November 2, 2018, however, on October 16, 2019, Brent Reuter replaced Mr. Dowty as Australis’ nominee on our Board of Directors as Mr. Dowty resigned.
The Investment Agreement provides for certain restriction on how the proceeds of the financing are to be applied, including the requirement that $1,925,000 be used by our Company for strategic acquisitions and/or investment opportunities within the State of Ohio, and $1,650,000 is to be allocated to the development, build out and equipment purchases for NMG Ohio’s dispensary and/or production facility, unless the parties agree to allocate the funds to the development of the our Company’s production facility in Nevada.
Transaction and Settlement with Green Light District Holdings Inc. – ShowGrow Long Beach and San Diego
Prior Agreement with Green Light District Holdings Inc.
On November 28, 2018, we entered into an interim agreement (the “Prior GLDH Agreement”) with Green Light District Holdings Inc. (“GLDH”), a private company incorporated under the laws of Delaware, and David Barakett whereby our Company agreed to acquire up to 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of GLDH. We concurrently made a strategic investment in a senior secured convertible note issued by GLDH in the principal amount of $5,200,000 (the “Prior GLDH Note”), bearing interest at the rate of 20% per annum and maturing on November 28, 2020.
GLDH is the owner of the ShowGrow dispensary brand, and owner of:
| ||
|
|
|
| ● | the ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary, |
|
|
|
| ● | 43% of the equity interest and 60% of the voting rights in the ShowGrow San Diego dispensary, and |
|
|
|
| ● | 30% of the equity interest in ShowGrow Las Vegas. |
|
|
|
GLDH is also the owner of the ShowGrow app. The dispensaries are in various stages of licensing: Long Beach has a medical and adult-use commercial license, San Diego has a conditional use permit, and Las Vegas has a recreational license. GLDH focuses on building dispensaries in high volume locations.
In order to fund our Company’s original investment in GLDH, Australis advanced a $4,000,000 loan which is evidenced by a senior secured note dated November 28, 2018, bearing an interest rate of 15% per annum and maturing in two years. Additionally, Australis exercised $1.2 million in warrants they held in our Company at an exercise price of CAD $0.50, which equated to 3,206,160 Common Shares.
We paid a finance fee to Australis in the approximate amount of CAD$795,660, by issuing 1,105,083 Common Shares of our Company at a deemed price of CAD $0.72 per share. We also paid a financial advisory fee of CAD $150,000 in cash. |

| A. | our Company will pay Mr. Barakett or his designee USD$750,000 by issuing Common Shares at a price of CAD$0.7439 per share, with the number of shares being calculated with reference to a negotiated CAD/USD exchange rate of CAD1.3296:USD$1.00 (the “Agreed Foreign Exchange Rate”), for a total possible issuance of 1,340,502 Common Shares; such issuance is contingent on NMG San Diego receiving all licenses, permits, and authorizations required for NMG San Diego to conduct medical commercial cannabis retail operations at the San Diego Location (the “SD Medical Licenses”); |
|
|
|
|
|
| B. | our Company will pay Mr. Barakett or his designee USD$750,000 by issuing Common Shares at a price of CAD$0.7439 per share, with the number of shares being calculated with reference to the Agreed Foreign Exchange Rate; such issuance is contingent on NMG San Diego receiving all licenses, permits, and authorizations required for NMG San Diego to conduct adult-use commercial cannabis retail operations at the San Diego Location (the “SD Adult-use Licenses”); and |
|
|
|
|
|
| C. | our Company will pay certain legal and consulting expenses incurred by GLDH, Airport Collective and Barakett in an aggregate amount of US$90,500; and |
| ii. | SGSD agreed to assign its lease for the San Diego Location to NMG San Diego, and to release our Company, NMG Long Beach and NMG San Diego from any and all claims, in consideration of USD$500,000, to be paid and satisfied by the issuance of Common Shares by our Company to SGSD’s members at the maximum discount allowed by the CSE. |
NMG San Diego is owned 60% by our Company’s subsidiary, DEP Nevada, Inc. and 40% by SJJR, LLC (“SJJR”). Mr. Barakett has agreed to cover SJJR’s portion of the start-up costs associated with NMG San Diego establishing commercial cannabis operations at the San Diego Location. The share consideration payable to Mr. Barakett under the Amended GLDH Settlement Agreement is subject to reduction if Mr. Barakett fails to meet this obligation on a timely basis.

NMG San Diego, which has now assumed the lease for the San Diego Location, has applied for its own medical commercial cannabis retail license and adult-use commercial retail license, and is currently proceeding with construction associated with the build out of the San Diego Location to start operations in the near future.
If NMG San Diego is unable, through no fault of the GLDH, Airport Collective or Mr. Barakett, to receive its medical commercial cannabis retail license or its adult-use commercial cannabis retail license at the San Diego Location in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Amended Settlement Agreement, NMG San Diego and our Company will utilize best efforts to negotiate in good faith an amendment to the Amended Settlement Agreement satisfactory to all of the parties.
Amended and Restated Convertible Note and General Security Agreement
As contemplated by the Original GLDH Settlement Agreement, our Company and GLDH entered into a loan agreement dated June 19, 2019 (the “2019 GLDH Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Prior GLDH Note in the principal amount of $5,200,000 has been superseded and replaced with an amended and restated senior secured convertible note payable to the Company by GLDH in the same principal amount (the “Amended and Restated GLDH Note”). The Amended and Restated GLDH Note bears interest at the rate of 20% per annum, compounded annually, and will mature and become repayable on June 19, 2022. GLDH’s obligations under the 2019 GLDH Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated GLDH Note have been guaranteed by Airport Collective, and are secured under a security agreement dated June 19, 2019 by all of GLDH’s and Airport Collective’s personal property, including but not limited to equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, cash or cash equivalents, and rights under contracts.
Asset Purchase Agreement
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, NMG Long Beach has agreed to purchase all of GLDH’s and Airport Collective’s assets (the “Purchased Assets”) utilized in the retail cannabis business at the Long Beach Location for $6,700,000. Upon closing of the transaction, the outstanding principal amount under the Amended and Restated GLDH Note will be applied to the purchase price, and Airport Collective will be released from its obligations as a guarantor of the GLDH’s obligations under the Amended and Restated GLDH Note. Our Company will pay the balance of the purchase price for the Purchased Assets by issuing up to 2,681,006 shares of common stock, to be issued at a deemed issue price of CAD$.0.7439 each; the number of shares required to pay and satisfy the balance of the purchase price for the Purchased Assets in the amount of $1,500,000 was determined with reference to the Agreed Foreign Exchange Rate of CAD$1.3296:USD$1.00. The purchase price – and therefore the amount of the share consideration - remains subject to reduction with reference to the liabilities of the business that will be outstanding on the closing date.
The closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement will not take place until NMG Long Beach has acquired local and state commercial cannabis licenses to conduct medical and adult-use commercial cannabis retail operations at the Long Beach Location. In the meantime, the parties have entered into a Management Assignment and Assumption Agreement, pursuant to which NMG Long Beach has assumed all management and control of the business operations at the Long Beach Location.
Trademark and Technology License and Services Agreement
In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, our Company, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, will license certain intellectual property from Green Light District Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for use at the Long Beach Location and the San Diego Location.
Contemporaneous Loan
Our Company and GLDH also entered into a contemporaneous loan (the “Contemporaneous Loan”) in the amount of $726,720.00 to fund certain business improvements and expansion needs of GLDH’s business operations. The Company and NMG Long Beach have agreed to forgive the Contemporaneous Loan on the date of closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Management Assignment and Assumption Agreement
NMG Long Beach is currently managing the ShowGrow Long Beach business pursuant to a management assignment and assumption agreement dated June 19, 2019, among NMG Long Beach, GLDH and Airport Collective.
Management and Administrative Services Agreement with Satellites Dip, LLC
On June 6, 2019, our Company, acting through our California subsidiary, NMG Cathedral City, LLC (“NMGCC”) entered into a management and administrative services agreement (the “California Management Agreement”) with Satellites Dip, LLC, a California limited liability company (“SD”) that is licensed to carry on commercial cannabis distribution and manufacturing operations within the state of California. Under the California Management Agreement, NMGCC has agreed to provide certain management and administrative services to SD. In consideration of such services, NMGCC will be paid a management fee equal to the greater of: (a) 30% of net profits (as such term is defined in the California Management Agreement); and (b) $10,000 per month.
The initial term of the California Management Agreement will expire on June 6, 2020, but is renewable for an additional one year term by mutual agreement between the parties.
In addition, NMGCC has agreed to broker commercial arrangements between SD and third-party cannabis brand owners, with the view to securing licenses for use in SD’s business. In particular, NMGCC will: (a) within 30 days of the effective date of the California Management Agreement, arrange for NMG to license certain trademarks and other intellectual property to SD for use relation to cannabis products to be manufactured by SD (the “Branded Products”) on terms at least as favorable as the most favored licensee; (b) use good faith efforts to establish similar license agreements with third-party cannabis brand owners; and (c) use good faith efforts to assist SD in the development of SD branded products in the event SD decides to create its own brand(s). Under NMGCC’s management, SD’s Cathedral City facility, which has been producing THC distillate in bulk form since June 2018, has been outfitted to manufacture popular Body and Mind products including oils, wax, live resin, ambrosia and edibles. In addition to the state-of-the-art ethanol and BHO extraction equipment, the facility has been equipped with the wiped-film distillation system engineered by Mr. Atomizer. The platform uses a patented cascading design to process more material in less time and with less labor to increase production and revenues.
NMGCC has furnished equipment and machinery necessary for the manufacture of the Branded Products by SD. As contemplated by the California Management Agreement, NMGCC has leased such equipment and machinery to SD pursuant to an Equipment Lease Agreement between the parties dated June 6, 2019.
On September 12, 2019, our Company announced that SD’s Cathedral City facility has begun shipping certain Body and Mind products, following upon receipt of final testing and California packaging compliance certifications for such products. Initial product introductions include Lemon Brulee and Lemon Kush live resin sugar, Purple Punch blunts and Purple Punch pre-rolls. Live resin sugar is a concentrate, created using material that is fresh-frozen immediately upon harvesting.
In conjunction with entering into the California Management Agreement, our Company through NMGCC entered into a loan and security agreement dated June 6, 2019, whereby NMGCC has loaned SD US$250,000 to fund the property and business improvements and expansion needs of SD’s business operations. The loan will become due and payable on June 6, 2020, subject to extension by mutual agreement between the parties, and will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest will accrue and be compounded quarterly, and will be payable by SD upon maturity of the loan.
Settlement and Release Agreement
On November 30, 2019, we through NMGCC entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with SD whereby NMGCC and SD agreed to terminate the California Management Agreement and to enter into a mutual release of any and all claims related to the California Management Agreement, subject to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
- 12 - |
|
Table of Contents |
As of November 30, 2019, SD owed NMGCC management fees (the “Monies Owed”) under the California Management Agreement. In consideration of NMGCC’s discharge of the Monies Owed, SD has agreed to pay NMGCC one-hundred percent (100%) of all proceeds received from the sale of all or any part of its inventory (the “Inventory”) as of November 1, 2019. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, SD shall provide monthly updates of the remaining Inventory until the Inventory has been fully exhausted. NMGCC will determine the sale price for any item in Inventory subject to the Settlement Agreement.
Brand Director Agreement
On November 30, 2019, NMGCC entered into a brand director agreement (the “Brand Director Agreement”) with SD. Pursuant to the Brand Director Agreement, SD has engaged NMGCC to provide certain advisory and brand director services in connection with SD’s manufacture of Company-branded products, as well as certain other products (the “Managed Products”) as agreed to by NMGCC (the “Brand Director Services”). The initial term of the Brand Director Agreement is six months and the parties may renew the Brand Director Agreement for successive three-month renewal periods.
The Brand Director Services include: (a) managing SD’s production of the Managed Products; (b) payment of a reimbursement fee to SD equal to the amount of direct costs and direct taxes applicable to the Managed Products; (c) managing inventory of the Managed Products; and (d) directing SD to enter into distribution agreements and sale agreements with third-party commercial cannabis licensees for the distribution and sale of the Managed Products in accordance with applicable law. Pursuant to the Brand Director Agreement, NMGCC will pay a monthly fee (the “Contribution Fee”) of $5,000 to SD. In connection with the Brand Director Agreement, as partial repayment for the principal and interest accrued under a certain loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between NMGCC and SD dated June 6, 2019, SD waives payment of the Contribution Fee for the first five (5) months of the Brand Direction Agreement.
In consideration for the Brand Director Services, SD (as the “Licensee”) has agreed to pay NMGCC (in its capacity as the “Brand Director”) a brand director fee for each calendar month during the term of the Brand Director Agreement, whereby Licensee shall pay to Brand Director a fee to be calculated as follows: (x) net revenue for a single calendar month, multiplied by, (y) seventy-five percent (75%); (z) plus any fees to be paid to NMGCC in connection with the equipment lease agreement (the “Equipment Lease Agreement”) dated June 6, 2019 (the "Equipment Lease Fee") added to the product of (x) and (y), the (q) total amount shall be the fee paid to NMGCC. If the net revenue, minus the product of (x) and (y) is less than the Equipment Lease Fee in any given month, the difference shall carry over to the subsequent month, to be added to that month's Equipment Lease Fee, or the difference may be paid by Licensee at its sole option.
Brand License Agreement
On November 30, 2019, DEP entered into a brand license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with SD. Pursuant to the License Agreement, DEP granted SD a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sub-licensable right (the “License”) to use certain licensed marks in connection with or on licensed products, solely in connection with SD’s commercial cannabis activity in California. In consideration for the License, SD will pay DEP a monthly fee equal to $100, payable on a quarterly basis.
During the term of the License Agreement, SD must remain in compliance with all state and local cannabis rules and regulations in California, and maintain valid commercial cannabis licenses. SD will follow the guidance of DEP and only utilize packaging and labelling materials purchased from (or at the direction of) DEP. The License Agreement will be in full force and effect for the duration of the Brand Director Agreement.
Equipment Purchase Agreement
On November 30, 2019, NMGCC and SD entered into an equipment purchase agreement (the “Equipment Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which NMGCC agreed to purchase certain equipment (the “Equipment”) from SD. The aggregate purchase price for the Equipment is $235,684.93 and will be applied to the outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement.

First Amendment to the Equipment Lease Agreement
On November 30, 2019, NMGCC and SD entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Equipment Lease Agreement. Pursuant to the First Amendment, NMGCC and SD amended (i) the term of the Equipment Lease Agreement to be coterminous with the Brand Director Agreement; and (ii) to update the equipment being leased pursuant to the Equipment Lease Agreement and to update the monthly rental rate for the equipment being leased.
Release & Satisfaction of Loan Agreement
On November 30, 2019, NMGCC and SD entered into a release and satisfaction of loan agreement (the “Release Agreement”). Pursuant to the Release Agreement, NMGCC agreed that all indebtedness of SD to NMGCC arising from the Loan Agreement (and promissory note issued in connection with the Loan Agreement) is hereby satisfied and discharged in full. The release is granted based on SD’s obligations and duties pursuant to the Equipment Purchase Agreement and its five (5) month waiver of the Contribution Fee under the Brand Director Agreement.
Conditional Use Permit for Nevada Production Facility
On June 20, 2019, we announced the receipt of a conditional use permit from Clark County, Nevada, for a new production facility located within one mile of NMG’s existing cultivation facility located at 3375 Pepper Lane, in Las Vegas. The new facility will be located within an existing commercial building where our Company has secured a long-term lease. Architect plans are complete, and the space has been custom designed to produce edibles, oils and extracts at scale. The new facility will be approximately 7,500 square feet, and construction commenced in late July. The new facility plans include high-volume extraction equipment, which we expect will dramatically increase our manufacturing capacity and efficiency for our extraction products, including oils, wax, live resin and ambrosia. The new facility also expands the kitchen area and creates an opportunity for the Company to white label for brands seeking an entry to the Nevada market. The new production facility was anticipated to be operational in mid to late September 2019, pending license transfer approvals from local and state authorities. Substantial construction work has been advanced including completion of offices, boardroom and facilities which are being utilized by the Company. In addition, significant electrical, framing and HVAC work is complete and waiting for formal permitting and inspections required by the Clark County building department. Final inspections and permits are required prior to receiving license transfer approvals from local and state authorities. We plan to move our current production license eliminating the need to apply for a new license.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, enacted in April 2012. An “emerging growth company” may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
| · | being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this prospectus; |
|
|
|
| · | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; |
|
|
|
| · | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and |
|
|
|
| · | exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |

Table of Contents |
We may use these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of this offering. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.0 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.
We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and our business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below may not be all of the risks facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.
Risks Related to the Business and Industry
We have a limited operating history which may make it difficult for investors to predict future performance based on current operations.
We have a limited operating history upon which investors may base an evaluation of our potential future performance. Our subsidiary, NMG was formed on March 3, 2014 and began carrying on business in the same year, and therefore, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial, and other resources and lack of revenues.
We have incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our Common Shares to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due and on our cash flow.
We have incurred losses in prior periods. For the three month period ended October 31, 2019, we incurred a comprehensive loss of $777,604 and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $11,421,859. Any losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our Common Shares on the CSE to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flow.
We are a holding company and investors are subject to the risks attributable to our subsidiaries which generate substantially all of our revenues.
We are a holding company and essentially all of our operating assets are the capital stock of our subsidiaries. As a result, investors in us are subject to the risks attributable to our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we conduct our business through our subsidiaries, which generate substantially all of our revenues. Consequently, our cash flows and ability to complete current or desirable future enhancement opportunities are dependent on the earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and other distributions will depend on their operating results and will be subject to applicable laws and regulations which require that solvency and capital standards be maintained by such companies and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing their debt. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, holders of indebtedness and trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us.
As a manufacturer and distributor of ingestible products, we face exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if products are alleged to have caused harm.
We face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the manufacture and sale of our products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that its products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our potential products.

As a manufacturer and distributor of products, we face exposure to product recalls or return of products.
We may be subject to the recall or return of our products for reasons such as, product defects, contamination, unintended harmful side effects, interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of our products are recalled, we could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. We may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. There can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of our significant brands were subject to recall, the image of the brand and Body and Mind could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of our regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.
Our future success depends on our key executive officers and our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.
Our future performance depends on the continued services and continuing contributions of our senior management, particularly the Chief Executive Officer who consults to us. Certain members of our senior management team are generally contracted on an at-will basis, which means that they could terminate their employment with us at any time with little or short notice. The loss of the services of our senior management, the CEO, or other key employees/contractors for any reason could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our strategic objectives and harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel will also be critical to our success because of the need to hire and retain additional personnel as business grows. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. Because of these factors, we may not be able to effectively manage or grow our business, which could adversely affect our financial condition and operations.
Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
We and/or our subsidiaries may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of our respective businesses which could adversely affect our respective operations. Should any litigation in which we and/or our subsidiaries become involved be determined against us and/or our subsidiaries, such a decision may adversely affect our respective abilities to continue operating, adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares and use significant resources. Even if we and/or our subsidiaries, as the case may be, is involved in litigation and succeeds, litigation can redirect significant company resources. In addition, litigation may also create a negative perception of our brand.
Our intended growth could suffer if the markets into which we sell our products and services decline, do not grow as anticipated or experience cyclicality.
Our growth depends in part on the growth of the markets which we serve, and visibility into our markets is limited. Our quarterly sales and profits depend substantially on the volume and timing of orders received during the fiscal quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Any decline or lower than expected growth in our served markets could diminish demand for our products and services, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our business operates in industries that may experience periodic, cyclical downturns. In addition, if our business demand depends on customers’ capital spending budgets, product and economic cycles can affect the spending decisions of these customers. Demand for our products and services is also sensitive to changes in customer order patterns, which may be affected by announced price changes, changes in incentive programs, new product introductions and customer inventory levels. Any of these factors could adversely affect our growth and results of operations in any given period.
We face intense competition and our competitors may have a longer operating history or greater financial resources allowing them to compete more effectively.
We may face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have longer operating histories and more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience than us. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The State of Nevada has only issued to date a small number of licenses to produce and sell medical marijuana. There are, however, many applicants for licenses. The number of licenses granted could have a material impact on our operations. Because of early stages of the industry in which we operate, we expect to face additional competition from new entrants. If the number of users of medical marijuana in the United States increases, the demand for products will increase and we expect that competition will become more intense, as current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing number of diversified products. We may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and client support efforts on a competitive basis, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to comply with environmental and safety laws may result in us incurring additional costs for corrective measures.
Medical marijuana operations are subject to environmental and safety laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions and discharges to water, air and land, the handling and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and wastes, and employee health and safety. Our failure to comply with environmental and safety laws and regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions in manufacturing operations. In addition, changes in environmental, employee health and safety or other laws, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to operations or give rise to material liabilities, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Our cannabis crop could be harmed by pests, plant diseases or other agricultural risks which would have a material adverse affect on our business.
Our business involves the growing of cannabis, which is an agricultural product. As such, our business is subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, such as pests, plant diseases and similar agricultural risks. This could lead to a reduced yield when harvesting the cannabis affecting the supply of cannabis for distribution, and, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and our ability to meet consumer demand.
We may experience increased costs during the growth stage of the cannabis due to the possibility of rising energy costs.
Growing cannabis requires a considerable amount of energy. We are vulnerable to rising costs of energy due to our need to consume considerable amounts of energy to grow our product. Rising or volatile energy costs may adversely impact our business by increasing production costs and decreasing revenue if those increased costs cannot be transferred to the consumer.
The cannabis industry is difficult to forecast due to the industry being in the early growth stages.
Detailed sales forecasts are not generally obtainable from sources at this early stage of the medical marijuana industry in the United States. A failure in the demand for products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our public image and the consumer perception of us is greatly influenced by scientific research, regulatory investigations, and media attention. Negative publicity will result in an unfavourable public image and will negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We believe the medical marijuana industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the medical marijuana produced. Consumer perception of our products and proposed products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of medical marijuana products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the medical marijuana market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity.
Our dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse reports, findings, attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on us, the demand for our products and proposed products, and our business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of medical marijuana in general, or our products and proposed products specifically, or associating the consumption of medical marijuana with illness or other negative effects or events, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed.
Risks related to the Federal and State Regulations
Federal regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of cannabis laws and regulations may negatively impact our results of operations.
Cannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act (the “CSA”). Even in those jurisdictions in which the manufacture and use of medical cannabis has been legalized at the state level, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis remains a violation of federal law. Federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use for medicinal or adult-retail purposes, and therefore strict enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis would severely restrict our ability to carry out our business plan.
The U.S. Department of Justice under the Obama administration had issued memoranda, including the so-called “Cole Memorandum” on August 29, 2013, characterizing enforcement of federal cannabis prohibitions under the CSA to prosecute those complying with state regulatory systems allowing the use, manufacture and distribution of medical cannabis as an inefficient use of federal investigative and prosecutorial resources when state regulatory and enforcement efforts are effective with respect to enumerated federal enforcement priorities under the CSA. In the Cole Memorandum, the U.S. Department of Justice provided guidance to all federal prosecutors indicating that federal enforcement of the CSA against cannabis-related conduct should be focused on eight priorities, which are to prevent: (1) distribution of cannabis to minors; (2) revenue from sale of cannabis to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels; (3) transfer of cannabis from states where it is legal to states where it is illegal; (4) cannabis activity from being a pretext for trafficking of other illegal drugs or illegal activity; (5) violence or use of firearms in cannabis cultivation and distribution; (6) drugged driving and adverse public health consequences from cannabis use; (7) growth of cannabis on federal lands; and (8) cannabis possession or use on federal property.
On January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a new memo updating the Department of Justice’s policy on federal marijuana enforcement (the “Sessions Memorandum”). The Sessions Memorandum effectively rescinded and replaced the Cole Memorandum, and directed all U.S. Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and to follow well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related to marijuana activities. While in theory the protections under the Cole Memorandum have been abolished, the new policy does not explicitly direct local U.S. Attorneys to launch an attack on state-legal marijuana businesses. Rather, the new policy promulgated by the Sessions Memorandum is to return local control to federal prosecutors who know where and how to deploy Justice Department resources most effectively to reduce violent crime, stem the tide of the drug crisis, and dismantle criminal gangs. The threat of federal prosecution remains for legitimate, state-legal marijuana businesses, including our business.

However, no assurance can be given that the federal prosecutor in each judicial district where we operate will agree that our activities within such prosecutor’s district do not go contrary to the Justice Department’s goals. There is also no guarantee that the current administration or future administrations will not revise the federal enforcement priorities enumerated in the Cole Memorandum, the Sessions Memorandum or otherwise choose to strictly enforce the federal laws governing cannabis production or distribution.
On April 11th, 2018, U.S. Senator Cory Gardner received assurances from President Donald Trump that 1) states with legal marijuana industries would not be targeted by the Justice Department, 2) the rescission of the Cole Memorandum would not impact state’s legal marijuana industries, and 3) that the President would support a federalism-based legislative solution to fix the states’ rights issue once and for all. The President’s comments are encouraging to legal marijuana businesses; however, no legislative action at the federal level has been taken.
Under U.S. federal law, banks or other financial institutions that provide us with banking services could be found guilty of money laundering, which restricts our ability to receive reputable banking services and adversely affects our business operations.
Under U.S. federal law it may potentially be a violation of federal money laundering statutes for financial institutions to take any proceeds from marijuana sales or any other Schedule I substance. Banks and other financial institutions could be prosecuted and possibly convicted of money laundering for providing services to cannabis businesses. Under U.S. federal law, banks or other financial institutions that provide a cannabis business with a checking account, debit or credit card, small business loan, or any other service could be found guilty of money laundering or conspiracy. Financial institutions must submit a “suspicious activity report” (“SAR”) as required by federal money laundering laws. These marijuana related SARs are divided into three categories: marijuana limited, marijuana priority, and marijuana terminated, based on the financial institution’s belief that the marijuana business follows state law, is operating out of compliance with state law, or where the banking relationship has been terminated. There can be no assurance that a negative SAR will not be filed against us limiting our access to banking services as well as subjecting us to Federal review. This will also negatively impact our public image and affect operations.
The Independent Alcohol Distributors of Nevada have obtained a preliminary injunction against the issuance of recreational marijuana licenses to anyone other than licensed alcohol distributors. If this injunction remains in place we will be unable to obtain a recreational marijuana distributor license which would have an adverse effect on our business operations.
In leading up to the launch of recreational marijuana sales on July 1, 2017, the State of Nevada Department of Taxation (the “Department”) made a determination in March 2017 that there would be an insufficient number of marijuana distributors based on the limited response to its call for distributor license applications, and the Department proceeded to accept applications for distributor licenses from many existing medical marijuana entities (“MMEs”), who have the infrastructure and know-how to handle the distribution of recreational marijuana.
The Independent Alcohol Distributors of Nevada (“IADON”) filed a suit in District Court in Carson City, Nevada requesting a preliminary injunction against the Department to prevent the issuance of licenses to distribute recreational marijuana to anyone other than licensed alcohol distributors. The original ballot initiative passed by the voters of Nevada on November 8, 2016 provided that the Department shall issue licenses for marijuana distributions only to persons holding a wholesaler dealer license under Chapter 369 of NRS (alcohol distributor license), unless the department determined that an insufficient number of marijuana distributors will results from the limitation. On June 20, 2017, the Judge in the IADON litigation granted IADON’s motion for preliminary injunction, and thereby enjoined the Department from issuing a retail marijuana distributor license to any person or entity other than wholesale alcohol distributors.
This litigation remains ongoing, and the Nevada Supreme Court has not indicated when it will reach its ruling. If the courts find in favor of IADON, then wholesale alcohol distributors will have exclusive rights to distribute marijuana. We may experience increased costs and inefficiencies for having to use a third-party for distribution purposes, which would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

On November 2, 2018, the Company issued a CAD$1,600,000 principal amount 8% unsecured convertible debentures of the Company to Australis maturing two years following the date of issue. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to CAD$0.55 per Common Share up to November 2, 2020, subject to adjustment and acceleration in certain circumstances. However, on July 1, 2019, we entered into the Conversion Agreement with Australis, whereby Australis has agreed to convert the 8% unsecured convertible debenture on July 1, 2020 in exchange for an advanced interest payment of CAD$148,339.72 for the period of November 2, 2018 to July 1, 2020. Upon conversion of the debenture, Australis will receive 2,909,091 Common Shares at a deemed valued of CAD$0.55 per Common Share.
We are also committed to issuing 141,000 Common shares to Toro Pacific Management Inc. on the following dates: 70,500 Common Shares on May 14, 2020; and 70,500 Common Shares on November 14, 2020.
We may issue additional Common Shares in the future in connection with a financing or an acquisition. Such issuances may not require the approval of our shareholders. Any issuance of additional shares of our Common Shares, or equity securities convertible into our Common Shares, including but not limited to, warrants and options, will dilute the percentage ownership interest of all shareholders, may dilute the book value per share of our Common Shares, and may negatively impact the market price of our Common Shares.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Common Shares, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Declaring and paying future dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board, based upon earnings, financial condition, capital resources, capital requirements, restrictions in our Articles of Incorporation, contractual restrictions, and such other factors as our Board deems relevant. Unless we pay dividends, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that shareholders will be able to sell shares when desired.

Our Common Shares are categorized as “penny stock”, which may make it more difficult for investors to buy and sell our Common Shares due to suitability requirements.
Our Common Shares are considered “penny stock”. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The price of our Common Shares is significantly less than $5.00 per share. This designation imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer buying securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities given the increased risks generally inherent in penny stocks. These rules may restrict the ability and/or willingness of brokers or dealers to buy or sell our Common Shares, either directly or on behalf of their clients, may discourage potential stockholders from purchasing our Common Shares, or may adversely affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our Common Shares, which could depress the price of our Common Shares.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer before recommending an investment to a customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our Common Shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our Common Shares, and thereby depress our price per Common Share.

The Selling Securityholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Securityholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Securityholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities.
Because Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Securityholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Securityholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Securityholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Securityholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
· | Income taxes |
The determination of deferred income tax assets or liabilities requires subjective assumptions regarding future income tax rates and the likelihood of utilizing tax carry-forwards. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the recorded amounts, and therefore do not necessarily provide certainty as to their recorded values.
| · | Foreign currency |
The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flows, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions with the reporting entity.
| · | Fair value of financial instruments |
Management uses valuation techniques, in measuring the fair value of financial instruments, where active market quotes are not available.
In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs wherever possible, and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. Such estimates include liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility may vary from the actual results that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date.

|
Table of Contents |
The assessment of the timing and extent of impairment of intangible assets involves both significant judgements by management about the current and future prospects for the intangible assets as well as estimates about the factors used to quantify the extent of any impairment that is recognized.
| · | Intellectual property |
The recoverability of the carrying value of the intellectual property is dependent on numerous factors. The carrying value of these assets is reviewed by management when events or circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recovered. If impairment is determined to exist, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
| · | Stock-based compensation |
The option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after 15 December 2019. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework –Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
Management of financial risks
The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
| · | Credit risk |
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is not exposed to credit risk as it does not hold cash in excess of federally insured limits, with major financial institutions. Credit risk associated with the convertible loans receivable (including the investment in and advances to GLDH) arises from the possibility that the principal and/or interest due may become uncollectible. The Company mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationship. The Company is not currently exposed to any significant credit risk associated with its trade receivable.
| · | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company had a working capital of $8,288,767 as at October 31, 2019.

|
Table of Contents |
| · | Interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it does not hold financial instruments that will fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates.
| · | Currency risk |
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency risk by incurring expenditures and holding assets denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 1% change in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would not result in a significant change to the Company’s operations.
| · | Other risks |
The Company is not exposed to other risks unless otherwise noted.

Business Operations
Development of Our Business
Incorporation and Early Corporate History
We were incorporated on November 5, 1998 in the State of Delaware under the name Concept Development Group, Inc. In May 2004, we acquired 100% of Vocalscape, Inc. and changed our name to Vocalscape, Inc. On October 28, 2005, we changed our name to Nevstar Precious Metals, Inc. On October 23, 2008, we changed our name to Deploy Technologies Inc. (“Deploy Tech”) and effective November 14, 2017, we changed our name to Body and Mind Inc. (“Body and Mind”).
On September 15, 2010, we incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Deploy Acquisition Corp. (“Deploy”) under the laws of the State of Nevada, USA. On September 17, 2010, Deploy completed a merger with Deploy Tech, its former parent company, pursuant to which Deploy was the surviving corporation and assumed all the assets, obligations and commitments of Deploy Tech. Upon the completion of the merger Deploy assumed the name “Deploy Technologies Inc.” and all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Deploy Tech was automatically converted into and became Deploy’s – that is, our Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.
On May 10, 2011, we registered as an extra-provincial company in British Columbia, and on September 30, 2011, we filed a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to designate 2,900,000 shares of our authorized capital stock as Class A Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Shares”). On September 2, 2014, we filed a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State increasing the authorized Preferred Shares from 2,900,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares.

This resulted in a reduction of our authorized capital from 100,000,000 Common Shares to 10,000,000 Common Shares, and a reduction of our issued and outstanding Common Shares from 23,130,209 Common Shares to approximately 2,313,021 Common Shares.

Acquisition of Nevada Medical Group, LLC
On August 10, 2017, we incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dep Nevada Inc. (“DEP”).

(“Toro”) and NMG (the "Letter of Intent"), which was assigned to us pursuant to an assignment and novation agreement among Toro, NMG, and our Company dated effective May 12, 2017 (the “Assignment Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we changed our name to “Body and Mind, Inc.”, effective on November 14, 2017, by filing a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State; at the same time, we cancelled our entire authorized class of Preferred Shares. In addition, on November 14, 2017, we filed a certificate of change with the Nevada Secretary of State whereby we reverse split our issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) new share for three (3) old shares (the “Consolidation”) which resulted in there being 28,239,876 Common Shares issued and outstanding post-Consolidation. DEP, our wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of NMG in exchange for the issuance of our Common Shares on a post-Consolidation basis and certain cash and other non-cash consideration, as further described below (the "Acquisition"). Completion of the Acquisition resulted in a fundamental change under the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). Subsequent to completion of the Acquisition, we filed articles of exchange with the Nevada Secretary of State.
We completed a concurrent equity financing to raise aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$6,007,429.89 through the issuance of subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”), at a pre-Consolidation price of CAD$0.22 per Subscription Receipt (the “Concurrent Financing”). On November 14, 2017, each Subscription Receipt was exchanged in accordance with its terms, for no additional consideration, for one pre-Consolidation Common Share and one common share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant is exercisable by the holder at a price of CAD$0.90 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. Each Warrant is subject to acceleration provisions following May 14, 2018, if the closing trading price of the Common Shares is equal to or greater than CAD$1.20 for seven consecutive trading days, at which time we may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by issuing a press release announcing the reduced warrant term whereupon the Warrants will expire 21 calendar days after the date of such press release.
In consideration for all of the issued securities of NMG, the NMG securityholders (collectively, the “NMG Members”) received, on a pro rata basis, (a) 16,000,000 post-Consolidation Common Shares (the “Payment Shares”) at a deemed price of CAD$0.66 per share (the “Share Exchange”), and (b) $2,000,000 cash. We also issued five non-interest bearing promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Promissory Notes”), as follows: we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $450,000 to MBK Investments, LLC; we issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $450,000 to the Rozok Family Trust; we issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $490,000 to KAJ Universal Real Estate Investments, LLC; we issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $120,000 to NV Trees, LLC; and we issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $490,000 to SW Fort Apache, LLC. The Promissory Notes were secured by a senior priority security interest in all of our assets, and are due to be repaid at the earlier of fifteen (15) months from the closing date of the Acquisition, or, if an equity or debt financing subsequent to the Concurrent Financing were to be closed in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000, then within 30 days of the closing date of such subsequent financing. We assumed NMG’s obligations pursuant to a loan in the amount of $400,000, payable to TI Nevada, LLC, (“TI Nevada”) of which US$225,000 was paid on the Closing Date (as defined below) and the remaining $175,000, which was secured by a senior priority security interest in all of our assets, will be paid within 15 months of the Closing Date. Furthermore, we reimbursed NMG ($84,000) for expenditures incurred prior to the Closing Date which were related to the acquisition of production equipment.

Any Payment Shares received by a “Related Person” (as defined in the CSE Policy 1) in connection with the Acquisition, and certain other Payment Shares as may be required by the CSE (“Escrow Shares”), are subject to escrow conditions prescribed by the CSE pursuant to the terms of an agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) entered into among us, the holders of Escrow Shares and New Horizon Transfer Inc., the escrow agent. Payment Shares received by the former members of NMG are subject to escrow under the rules and policies imposed by the CSE, and are further subject to voluntary pooling agreements entered into between us and the former members of NMG (the “Voluntary Pooling Agreements”), pursuant to which the Payment Shares will be released from pooling to the former members of NMG in accordance with the following schedule:
6 months after the Closing Date | 10% of the respective Payment Shares |
12 months after the Closing Date | 20% of the respective Payment Shares |
18 months after the Closing Date | 25% of the respective Payment Shares |
24 months after the Closing Date | 45% of the respective Payment Shares |
The Acquisition closed on November 14, 2017 (the “Closing Date”). On completion of the Acquisition, we assumed the business of NMG, being the cultivation and production of medical marijuana products.
On December 18, 2017, we reached an agreement with a real estate investment group, led by NMG’s President, Robert Hasman, who intended to purchase a building adjacent to our existing facility and lease it back to a newly formed entity called Pepper Lane North LLC (“PLN” or “Partnership”) on a long-term basis with renewal options. PLN is a strategic partnership between the Company and a dispensary chain in the State of Nevada. The other PLN member intended to transfer an active cultivation license to the PLN facility and all expenditures under PLN were to be funded on a 50/50 basis by the PLN members.
The new facility was expected to primarily consist of flowering rooms as production, packaging, distribution, and head office functions were to remain at the existing facility. We had also earmarked approximately 4,000 square feet of frontage for a dispensary upon receipt of a retail license. It was contemplated that at least half of the sales under PLN would be sold to the other PLN member through their existing dispensary network. In addition, we had signed an operating and management agreement with PLN and were to receive the greater of $15,000/month or 10% of PLN’s net profits.
Prior to forming PLN, the members of PLN engaged surveyors to ensure compliance with permitting procedures and that PLN would receive the necessary approvals to move forward. Subsequent to January 31, 2018 we were notified that a church was located in close proximity of the building and that permitting was unlikely to proceed. We filed an insurance claim with the surveyor’s insurer to recover our out of pocket damages. As a result of these events, the lease and partnership agreements with PLN have been terminated. The company has decided not to legally pursue the claim against the survey company.
Convertible Loan and Management Agreements with Comprehensive Care Group LLC
On March 19, 2018, we, acting through our wholly-owned subsidiaries DEP and NMG, entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Convertible Loan Agreement”) and a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”), respectively, with Comprehensive Care Group LLC (“CCG”), an Arkansas limited liability company, with respect to the development of a medical marijuana dispensary, 50 plant cultivation facility in West Memphis, Arkansas. Each of the Convertible Loan Agreement and the Management Agreement are effective as of March 15, 2019.
Pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement, DEP has agreed to make loan advances to CCG from time to time in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,250,000. The loan proceeds are to be used to fund the construction of the medical marijuana dispensary facility, and to provide working capital to cover initial operating expenses. All pre-construction activities for the dispensary have been completed, and substantial construction progress has been made, with interior framing 90% complete in the dispensary and cultivation areas. Work is in-progress on roughing in chase ways for power upgrades while electrical rough-in remains ongoing throughout the project. Additionally, HVAC ductwork is 90% complete in the dispensary area.

The parties may mutually agree to adjust the amount of the loan to an increased amount or a lesser amount from time to time based on CCG’s reasonable operational and construction needs, as set forth in one or more budgets to be prepared by CCG and presented to DEP. The interest on outstanding advances will be fixed at a rate of $6,000 per month until such time as the parties mutually agree to increase the interest to a fixed rate of $10,000 per month, payable monthly in arrears on or before the first calendar day of each month commencing March 1, 2019. CCG is not obligated to repay any principal outstanding under the loan until March 30, 2021. Either CCG or DEP may unilaterally extend the maturity date by one year, and may thereafter continue to extend the maturity date on a yearly basis by increments of one year (each, an “Extension Option”) by providing written notice of the exercise of the Extension Option by the party seeking an extension to the other party; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall any extended maturity date extend beyond the expiration of the term of the Management Agreement entered into between NMG and CCG.
Upon the latter of: (a) one year after granting of a medical marijuana dispensary license by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission to CCG, or (b) one year after entering into the Convertible Loan Agreement, DEP may, in its sole discretion, subject to DEP providing all reasonable assistance to obtain all necessary approvals from the applicable government authorities to engage in the medical marijuana dispensary business, elect to convert all of the outstanding indebtedness into preferred units of CCG equal to 40% of the overall member units of CCG, subject to approval of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission, with the following preferred rights: (i) the right to an allocative share of 66.67% of the net profits of CCG (as defined in the Convertible Loan Agreement) and the right to distributions equal to 66.67% of the net profits on a monthly basis; (ii) the right to a 66.67% share of CCG’s assets upon dissolution of CCG; and (iii) the right to 66.67% of all voting rights of members of CCG.
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, NMG has agreed to provide operations and management services to CCG, (including management, staffing, operations administration, oversight and other related services), in relation to CCG’s retail facility located in West Memphis, Arkansas. In consideration for such services, commencing on the effective date (March 15, 2019), CCG has agreed to pay NMG a monthly management fee in the amount equal to 66.67% of the Monthly Net Profits (as defined below) of CCG for the immediately-preceding month, all as determined in a manner mutually agreeable to NMG and CCG. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that DEP exercises its conversion right under the Convertible Loan Agreement, then NMG’s monthly management fee shall be fixed at $6,000.00 per month, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. For purposes of the Management Agreement, “Monthly Net Profits” means, for each calendar month, an amount equal to CCG’s gross revenue for such calendar month less CCG’s operating expenses (including all applicable expenses as set out under Section 2 of the Management Agreement, cost of goods sold, interest, and tax for said month), as reasonably determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The remaining 33.33% of the Monthly Net Profits is to be paid to CCG, which it, in its sole discretion, may distribute to its owners.
Acquisition of NMG Ohio LLC
At the time we acquired NMG, it already owned a 30% interest in NMG Ohio, LLC (“NMG Ohio”). On or around June 7, 2018, NMG Ohio was notified by the State of Ohio that it was awarded a medical cannabis dispensary license and a provisional production license. NMG Ohio has a cannabis dispensary carrying on business as “The Clubhouse” in Elyria, Loraine County, Ohio. On January 31, 2019, we through NMG entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining 70% interest in NMG Ohio. The consideration for the remaining 70% interest in NMG Ohio is to consist of cash payments totaling $1,575,000 and 3,173,864 common shares of the Company. As at the date hereof, we have issued 2,380,398 of the 3,173,864 common shares with a fair value of $1,448,805, and paid $1,181,250. Closing of the acquisition remains subject to receipt of regulatory approval.

| (a) | 16,000,000 units of our Company, with each unit being comprised of one share of our common stock and one common share purchase warrant at a purchase price of CAD$0.40 per unit, for gross proceeds of CAD$6,400,000; and |

If, at any time prior to the maturity date, the closing price of our common shares on the CSE (or such other stock exchange on which our common shares are then listed) is equal to or greater than CAD$1.65 for 20 consecutive trading days, our Company may force the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of the debentures (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) at the then applicable conversion price on not less than 10 business days’ notice to Australis. On July 1, 2019, we entered into a conversion agreement with Australis, whereby Australis has agreed to convert the Debenture on July 1, 2020. Upon execution of the conversion agreement, we remitted CAD$148,339.72 to Australis as an advanced interest payment for the period from November 2, 2018 to July 1, 2020. Upon conversion of the Debenture, Australis will receive 2,909,091 Common Shares of our Company, to be issued at a deemed valued of CAD$0.55 per Common Share. |
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we entered into a commercial advisory agreement (the “Commercial Advisory Agreement”) with Australis Capital (Nevada) Inc. (“Australis Nevada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Australis, pursuant to which Australis Nevada has agreed to provide advisory and consulting services to our Company for a fee of $10,000 per month payable on the first day of each month for a term ending on the date that is the earlier of (i) five years following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, and (ii) the date Australis no longer holds 10% or more of our Company’s issued and outstanding common shares.

Transaction and Settlement with Green Light District Holdings Inc. – ShowGrow Long Beach and San Diego
Prior Agreement with Green Light District Holdings Inc.
On November 28, 2018, we entered into an interim agreement (the “Prior GLDH Agreement”) with Green Light District Holdings Inc. (“GLDH”), a private company incorporated under the laws of Delaware, and David Barakett, whereby our Company agreed to acquire up to 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of GLDH. We concurrently made a strategic investment in a senior secured convertible note issued by GLDH in the principal amount of $5,200,000 (the “Prior GLDH Note”), bearing interest at the rate of 20% per annum and maturing on November 28, 2020.
GLDH is the owner of the ShowGrow dispensary brand, and owner of:
| (a) | the ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary, |
|
|
|
| (b) | 43% of the equity interest and 60% of the voting rights in the ShowGrow San Diego dispensary, and |
|
|
|
| (c) | 30% of the equity interest in the ShowGrow Las Vegas dispensary. |
GLDH is also the owner of the ShowGrow app. The dispensaries are in various stages of licensing: Long Beach has a medical and adult use commercial license, San Diego has a medical commercial cannabis retail conditional use permit, and Las Vegas has a recreational license. GLDH focuses on building dispensaries in high volume locations.
In order to fund our Company’s original investment in GLDH, Australis advanced a $4,000,000 loan which is evidenced by a senior secured note dated November 28, 2018, bearing an interest rate of 15% per annum and maturing in two years. The terms require semi-annual interest payments unless we elect to accrue the interest by adding it to the principal amount of the debt facility. We may prepay the loan at any time, in any amount, subject to a 5% prepayment penalty on any amount repaid within the first year of the loan. Additionally, Australis exercised $1.2 million in warrants they held in our Company at an exercise price of CAD$0.50, which equated to 3,206,160 common shares.
We paid a financing fee to Australis in the approximate amount of CAD$795,660, by issuing 1,105,083 common shares of our Company at a deemed price of CAD$0.72 per share. We also paid a financial advisory fee of CAD$150,000 in cash.

NMG San Diego, which has now assumed the lease on the ShowGrow San Diego premises, has applied for its own medical commercial cannabis retail license and adult-use commercial retail license, and is currently proceeding with construction associated with the build out of the San Diego premises to start operations in the near future. In consideration for the landlord, Green Road, LLC, agreeing to consent to the assignment of the original lease with SGSD to NGM San Diego, we agreed to provide the following consideration to the landlord:
| i. | $700,000 in Common Shares of the Company calculated upon execution of the assignment and first amendment to commercial lease (the “Assignment and First Amendment”), dated June 13, 2019, at the maximum discount allowed by the CSE to be issued to the landlord immediately following execution of the Assignment and First Amendment; |
|
|
|
| ii. | $783,765.26 in cash to be paid to the landlord via bank draft within five (5) business days of execution of the Assignment and First Amendment; and |
|

Pursuant to the Assignment and First Amendment, the parties agreed to amend the original lease to permit NMG San Diego to have three (3) five (5) year renewal options as opposed to two (2) renewal options. In addition, the parties agreed to reduce the amount of the sale bonus provision in the original lease to $1,000,000 from $2,000,000, which shall only be payable in connection with the first two assignments triggering this obligation, and thereafter, assignments will not require payment of a sale bonus. Furthermore, the parties also amended certain provisions of the original lease to ensure that any change in members representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the existing membership interests of NMG San Diego shall be an excluded transaction and not trigger the sale bonus or be deemed an assignment requiring consent of the landlord
If NMG San Diego is unable, through no fault of the GLDH, Airport Collective or Mr. Barakett, to receive its medical commercial cannabis retail license or its adult-use commercial cannabis retail license at the San Diego Location in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Amended Settlement Agreement, NMG San Diego and our Company will utilize best efforts to negotiate in good faith an amendment to the Amended Settlement Agreement satisfactory to all of the parties.
Amended and Restated Convertible Note and General Security Agreement
As contemplated by the Original GLDH Settlement Agreement, our Company and GLDH entered into a loan agreement dated June 19, 2019 (the “2019 GLDH Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Prior GLDH Note has been superseded and replaced with an amended and restated senior secured convertible note payable to the Company by GLDH in the principal amount of $5,200,000 (the “Amended and Restated GLDH Note”). The Amended and Restated GLDH Note bears interest at the rate of 20% per annum, compounded annually, and will mature and become repayable on June 19, 2022. GLDH’s obligations under 2019 GLDH Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated GLDH Note have been guaranteed by Airport Collective, and are secured under a security agreement dated June 19, 2019 by all of GLDH’s and Airport Collective’s personal property, including but not limited to equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, cash or cash equivalents, and rights under contracts.
Asset Purchase Agreement

The Company will pay the balance of the purchase price for the Purchased Assets by issuing up to 2,681,006 shares of common stock, to be issued at a deemed issue price of CAD$.0.7439 each; the number of shares required to pay and satisfy the balance of the purchase price for the Purchased Assets in the amount of $1,500,000 was determined with reference to the Agreed Foreign Exchange Rate of CAD$1.3296:USD$1.00.

Management and Administrative Services Agreement with Satellites Dip, LLC
On June 6, 2019, our Company, acting through our California subsidiary, NMG Cathedral City, LLC (“NMGCC”) entered into a management and administrative services agreement (the “California Management Agreement”) with Satellites Dip, LLC, a California limited liability company (“SD”) that is licensed to carry on commercial cannabis distribution and manufacturing operations within the state of California. Under the California Management Agreement, NMGCC has agreed to provide certain management and administrative services to SD, which may include, without limitation, the following: (i) management of operations; (ii) inventory management; (iii) equipment and physical plant maintenance; (iv) regulatory compliance; (v) payroll; (vi) human resources services; (vii) marketing services; (viii) information technology services; (ix) coordination of legal services; (x) coordination of tax services; (xi) coordination of accounting services; (xii) security services; (xiii) controlling the operating budget; (xiv) facility inspections; (xv) maintenance of detailed records and accounts related to SD’s business, and identification and tracking of key performance indicators; and (xvi) such other activities that NMGCC or SD determines in its reasonable judgment are necessary or desirable for the day-to-day operation or management of SD’s business. In consideration of such services, NMGCC will be paid a management fee equal to the greater of: (a) 30% of net profits (as such term is defined in the California Management Agreement); and (b) $10,000 per month.
The initial term of the California Management Agreement will expire on June 6, 2020. The California Management Agreement may not be terminated prior to the expiry of the initial term, except in the case of a material breach that cannot reasonably be cured or remains uncured for 30 days after the non-breaching party provides written notice of the breach to the breaching party. Either party may, at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the initial term, provide notice in writing to the other party that it intends to renew the California Management Agreement for an additional one year term, but any such renewal will be subject to mutual agreement.
In addition, NMGCC agreed to broker commercial arrangements between SD and third-party cannabis brand owners, with the view to securing licenses for use in SD’s business. In particular, NMGCC agreed: (a) that, within 30 days of the effective date of the California Management Agreement, it would arrange for its affiliate company, NMG, to license certain trademarks and other intellectual property to SD for use relation to cannabis products to be manufactured by SD (the “Branded Products”) on terms at least as favorable as the most favored licensee; (b) to use good faith efforts to establish similar license agreements with third-party cannabis brand owners; and (c) to use good faith efforts to assist SD in the development of SD branded products in the event SD decides to create its own brand(s).
NMGCC has furnished equipment and machinery necessary for the manufacture of the Branded Products by SD. As contemplated by the California Management Agreement, NMGCC has leased such equipment and machinery to SD pursuant to an Equipment Lease Agreement between the parties dated June 6, 2019. The initial term of the Equipment Lease Agreement will expire on June 6, 2020. Either party may, at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the initial term, provide notice in writing to the other party that it intends to renew the Equipment Agreement for an additional one-year term, but any such renewal will be subject to mutual agreement. It is the intent of the parties that the monthly rent payable under the Equipment Lease Agreement be completely net to NMGCC, such that NMGCC will not be liable for any costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever relating to the equipment or any improvements to the equipment, or use of the equipment. SD is solely responsible for any such costs, charges, expenses, and outlays, including taxes, maintenance, and repairs.
On September 12, 2019, our Company announced that SD’s Cathedral City facility has begun shipping certain Body and Mind products, following upon receipt of final testing and California packaging compliance certifications for such products. Initial product introductions include Lemon Brulee and Lemon Kush live resin sugar, Purple Punch blunts and Purple Punch pre-rolls. Live resin sugar is a concentrate, created using material that is fresh-frozen immediately upon harvesting.
In conjunction with entering into the California Management Agreement, the Company through NMGCC entered into a loan and security agreement dated June 6, 2019, whereby NMGCC has loaned SD US$250,000 to fund the property and business improvements and expansion needs of SD’s business operations. The loan will become due and payable on June 6, 2020, subject to extension by mutual agreement between the parties, and will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest will accrue and be compounded quarterly, and will be payable by SD upon maturity of the loan. SD may prepay, in whole or in part, all or any portion of the principal amount and accrued interest on the loan without being subject to any pre-payment penalty. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note, and the performance of SD of its obligations under the loan agreement and the promissory note are secured pursuant to a security agreement.

Settlement and Release Agreement
On November 30, 2019, we through NMGCC entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with SD whereby NMGCC and SD agreed to terminate the California Management Agreement and to enter into a mutual release of any and all claims related to the California Management Agreement, subject to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
As of November 30, 2019, SD owed NMGCC management fees (the “Monies Owed”) under the California Management Agreement. In consideration of NMGCC’s discharge of the Monies Owed, SD has agreed to pay NMGCC one-hundred percent (100%) of all proceeds received from the sale of all or any part of its inventory (the “Inventory”) as of November 1, 2019. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, SD shall provide monthly updates of the remaining Inventory until the Inventory has been fully exhausted. NMGCC will determine the sale price for any item in Inventory subject to the Settlement Agreement.
As part of the Settlement Agreement, each of SDL and NMG mutually agree to release and discharge the other from any and all claims arising from the California Management Agreement on or before November 30, 2019.
Brand Director Agreement
On November 30, 2019, NMGCC entered into a brand director agreement (the “Brand Director Agreement”) with SD. Pursuant to the Brand Director Agreement, SD has engaged NMGCC to provide certain advisory and brand director services in connection with SD’s manufacture of Company-branded products, as well as certain other products (the “Managed Products”) as agreed to by NMGCC (the “Brand Director Services”). The initial term of the Brand Director Agreement is six months and the parties may renew the Brand Director Agreement for successive three-month renewal periods.
The Brand Director Services include: (a) managing SD’s production of the Managed Products; (b) payment of a reimbursement fee to SD equal to the amount of direct costs and direct taxes applicable to the Managed Products; (c) managing inventory of the Managed Products; and (d) directing SD to enter into distribution agreements and sale agreements with third-party commercial cannabis licensees for the distribution and sale of the Managed Products in accordance with applicable law. Pursuant to the Brand Director Agreement, NMGCC will pay a monthly fee (the “Contribution Fee”) of $5,000 to SD. In connection with the Brand Director Agreement, as partial repayment for the principal and interest accrued under a certain loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between NMGCC and SD dated June 6, 2019, SD waives payment of the Contribution Fee for the first five (5) months of the Brand Direction Agreement.
In consideration for the Brand Director Services, SD (as the “Licensee”) has agreed to pay NMGCC (in its capacity as the “Brand Director”) a brand director fee for each calendar month during the term of the Brand Director Agreement, whereby Licensee shall pay to Brand Director a fee to be calculated as follows: (x) net revenue for a single calendar month, multiplied by, (y) seventy-five percent (75%); (z) plus any fees to be paid to NMGCC in connection with the equipment lease agreement (the “Equipment Lease Agreement”) dated June 6, 2019 (the "Equipment Lease Fee") added to the product of (x) and (y), the (q) total amount shall be the fee paid to NMGCC. If the net revenue, minus the product of (x) and (y) is less than the Equipment Lease Fee in any given month, the difference shall carry over to the subsequent month, to be added to that month's Equipment Lease Fee, or the difference may be paid by Licensee at its sole option.
Brand License Agreement
On November 30, 2019, DEP entered into a brand license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with SD. Pursuant to the License Agreement, DEP granted SD a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sub-licensable right (the “License”) to use certain licensed marks in connection with or on licensed products, solely in connection with SD’s commercial cannabis activity in California. In consideration for the License, SD will pay DEP a monthly fee equal to $100, payable on a quarterly basis.

During the term of the License Agreement, SD must remain in compliance with all state and local cannabis rules and regulations in California, and maintain valid commercial cannabis licenses. SD will follow the guidance of DEP and only utilize packaging and labelling materials purchased from (or at the direction of) DEP. The License Agreement will be in full force and effect for the duration of the Brand Director Agreement.
Equipment Purchase Agreement
On November 30, 2019, NMGCC and SD entered into an equipment purchase agreement (the “Equipment Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which NMGCC agreed to purchase certain equipment (the “Equipment”) from SD.

Release & Satisfaction of Loan Agreement
On November 30, 2019, NMGCC and SD entered into a release and satisfaction of loan agreement (the “Release Agreement”). Pursuant to the Release Agreement, NMGCC agreed that all indebtedness of SD to NMGCC arising from the Loan Agreement (and promissory note issued in connection with the Loan Agreement) is hereby satisfied and discharged in full. The release is granted based on SD’s obligations and duties pursuant to the Equipment Purchase Agreement and its five (5) month waiver of the Contribution Fee under the Brand Director Agreement.
Conditional Use Permit for Nevada Production Facility
On June 20, 2019, we announced the receipt of a conditional use permit from Clark County, Nevada, for a new production facility located within one mile of NMG’s existing cultivation facility located at 3375 Pepper Lane, in Las Vegas. The new facility will be located within an existing commercial building where our Company has secured a long-term lease. Architect plans are complete, and the space has been custom designed to produce edibles, oils and extracts at scale. The new facility will be approximately 7,500 square feet, and construction commenced in late July. The new facility plans include high-volume extraction equipment, which we expect will dramatically increase our manufacturing capacity and efficiency for our extraction products, including oils, wax, live resin and ambrosia. The new facility also expands the kitchen area and creates an opportunity for the Company to white label for brands seeking an entry to the Nevada market. The new production facility was anticipated to be operational in mid to late September 2019, pending license transfer approvals from local and state authorities. Substantial construction work has been advanced including completion of offices, boardroom and facilities which are being utilized by the Company. In addition, significant electrical, framing and HVAC work is complete and waiting for formal permitting and inspections required by the Clark County building department. Final inspections and permits are required prior to receiving license transfer approvals from local and state authorities. We plan to move our current production license eliminating the need to apply for a new license.
On February 24, 2020, we announced that we have received all necessary permits to commence operations at our new Nevada production facility. Equipment is being moved into the facility and the space has been custom designed to produce edibles, oils and extracts at scale. With the increased production capacity, we plan to offer contract manufacturing for other brands of complementary products.

Past business of Deploy
Prior to the completion of the Acquisition, we were a development stage company engaged in designing and developing technologies and products for the management of truck fleets by companies in the freight haulage, waste haulage, mining, industrial operations and manufacturing, military and law enforcement industries.
We identified our proprietary technology and primary product by the name “Fleet Data Management & Weigh System”. The principal and unique feature of the Fleet Data Management & Weigh System enables operators of heavy industrial hydraulic lifting equipment to weigh cargo “on-the-fly” during the process of loading carrier vehicles. The load weight of trucks is important information for several purposes, including billing, compliance with highway and safety regulations and loading within capacity specifications. We designed and developed the Fleet Data Management & Weigh System to provide this information, as well as much more, on a real-time basis. The Fleet Data Management & Weigh System is capable of providing such information for in-cab entry and can deliver the information by wireless communication to operations centers, billing departments and for archival purposes, in order to meet the needs of any fleet operator.
Following the 2008 acquisition by our predecessor entity of the on-the-fly weigh system technology from Trepped Enterprises Inc., we devoted much of our time to engineering; circuit board design and testing; firmware and software development and testing; adding components and features; hardware selection; and improving, testing and packaging the Fleet Data Management & Weigh System. Upon the completion of our merger with Deploy Tech, we acquired the rights to both the technology and products that comprise the system by virtue of being the surviving corporation.
We developed a final prototype of the products that comprise our Fleet Data Management & Weigh System. We have tested both prototype packages on various types of vehicles. We have experienced delays due to lack of required funding which resulted in less attention on sales and marketing than expected.
Due to the large number of different vehicles and vehicle models that contain variations in parts, our system had to be tested on each variation of a vehicle before it can be sold to customers to ensure that it is properly calibrated for that specific vehicle. This significantly increases our testing and sales timelines.
Throughout our 2014 fiscal year, our management was focused on sales of our products as well as raising capital required to achieve our sales and marketing goals. We were not successful in raising required capital to hire sales and marketing staff or launch a sales and marketing campaign and therefore restructured the company to be more attractive to the investment community.
Although a lack of funding caused delays in sales and marketing efforts, we were able to remain current in our reporting obligations, including the year-end requirements to file our audited financial statements, MD&A and annual listing statement.
Throughout our previous three years, we had developed and patented and had been selling our Fleet Data Management & Weigh System and prepared the Company for commercialization of our product line. We remain the owner of Patent # 2798525 which is titled as “Load-Measuring, Fleet Asset Tracking and Data Management System for Load-Lifting Vehicles.” While we continue to own and maintain this patent, our focus has changed to the business of cultivating and producing medical and adult-use recreational marijuana as further described below. We anticipate selling our patent in the foreseeable future and do not anticipate allocating any current or future resources to our prior business.
Our Products and Services
We cultivate and produce medical and adult-use recreational marijuana products such as cannabis flower, oil extracts and edibles under the brand name “Body and Mind”.

We have built our business plan around capitalizing on the medical-use and recreational cannabis markets. The regulated medical and recreational use cannabis industry is a rapidly growing industry that presents a unique opportunity under current market conditions. In the United States, the development and growth of the industry has generally been driven by state law and regulation. Accordingly, the market varies on a state-by-state basis. State laws that legalize and regulate medical-use cannabis allow patients to consume cannabis for medicinal reasons with a doctor’s recommendation subject to various requirements and limitations. States have authorized numerous medical conditions as qualifying conditions for treatment with medical-use cannabis, including but not limited to treatment for cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, wasting syndrome, pain, nausea, seizures, muscle spasms, multiple sclerosis, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), migraines, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, lupus, residual limb pain, spinal cord injuries, inflammatory bowel disease and terminal illness.
As of the date of this Registration Statement, 31 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws allowing their residents to use medical cannabis.
We believe that the following conditions create an attractive opportunity for the cultivation and production of products within the medical and recreational use cannabis industry:
| · | Significant industry growth in recent years and expected continued growth; |
|
|
|
| · | A shift in public opinion and increasing momentum toward the legalization of cannabis; |
|
|
|
| · | Limited access to capital by industry participants in light of risk perceived by financial institutions of violating federal laws and regulatory guidelines for offering banking services to cannabis-related businesses; |
|
|
|
| · | NMG is currently in the process of obtaining a recreational distribution license; |
|
|
|
| · | NMG currently has three main product lines: (i) flower, (ii) edibles, and (iii) extracts; and |
|
|
|
| · | NMG currently cultivates recreational marijuana. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing market opportunity and trends, and despite legalization at the state level, we continue to believe that the current state of federal law creates significant uncertainty and potential risks associated with investing in medical-use and recreational-use cannabis facilities.
We use a state licensed distribution company to distribute our products and our primary market is in State of Nevada.
Our Strategy
Body and Mind’s strategy is focused on a platform approach to expansion which focuses on limited license states and jurisdictions. We work to maximize shareholder value through:
| 1) | Production and distribute Body and Mind branded products (production and/or cultivation); |
|
|
|
| 2) | Use excess production capacity to produce and distribute synergistic third party brands; |
|
|
|
| 3) | Own or operate strategic retail stores for vertical integration; and |
|
|
|
| 4) | Enter new markets though lower cost applications and opportunistic / targeted acquisitions. |
We have a track record of award-winning cannabis strains, flower and extracts and as early entrants to the Nevada market management has experience with writing license applications, cultivating and operating efficiently and working within a strict metric or track and trace environment.
We have developed the premium, marquis lifestyle “Body and Mind” brand in Nevada with strong penetration into dispensaries and have recently expanded the brand to dispensaries in California. The Body and Mind brand appeals to a wide range of cannabis consumers with products including oils, extracts (wax, live resin, ambrosia) and edibles.
We have a long track record of producing award-winning cannabis products and we have success with licensing to manufacture for brands. We currently produced cannabis oil cartridges for Gpen, a well-known vaporizer manufacturer. We are in the process of developing a larger production facility and are in preliminary discussions with several cannabis brands who may be interested in having Body and Mind produce their brand and products under license in Nevada.

NMG was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 3, 2014. NMG was an early applicant in Nevada in 2014 and was awarded one of the first state medical licenses for both cultivation and production of marijuana. NMG has been a licensed producer and cultivator of cannabis products since it was issued its first cultivation license on November 5, 2015 and production license on December 10, 2015. On July 1, 2017, NMG was awarded an additional state recreational cultivation and production license. NMG produces cannabis flower, oil extracts and edibles, which are available for sale under the brand name “Body & Mind” in dispensaries in Nevada.
NMG anticipates an increase in demand due to the recently approved “Adult Use” licensing in the State of Nevada that began in July 2017. NMG has several growth initiatives underway including new product introductions, product licensing, third party extraction, out-of-State licensing, and acquisitions.
Since our acquisition of NMG, as discussed in more detail above, we have been focused on:
| (1) | improving NMG’s existing facility; |
|
|
|
| (2) | increasing product availability; and |
|
|
|
| (3) | lowering production costs. |
Improvements to NMG’s Existing Facility
On June 28, 2018, we obtained a building permit from Clark County, Nevada to add new flowering rooms and expand our packaging area. Each new flowering room was outfitted with rolling benches and watering systems and the project was completed with final Certificates of Occupancy awarded in September 2018. The new flowering rooms have been in production since September 2018 and are included in the perpetual harvest program for all cultivation in the existing facility. Additionally, a carbon dioxide system has been installed and is now being used throughout the facility. Upon the completion of the Nevada production facility the company anticipates renovating the existing production areas of the facility. The existing production and kitchen areas are anticipated to be renovated for additional flower space.
Increased Product Availability
We focused on flower and developing top end strains during the early years of our business. When Nevada was a medical only market we performed significant research on edibles with products including granola bars, beef jerky, hard candies and gummies. We also performed a great deal of research on extraction with products ranging from shatter, rosin, distillate and raw oil.
As adult recreation rules changed the products that could be produced, we have focused on increasing our product offerings and licensing opportunities. We have determined that the edible market is a sector of the marijuana industry with a high profit margin. To capitalize on this, we have made a dedicated effort to hire an individual with an extensive background in confectionary products and proper dosing techniques. Since hiring this individual on March 6, 2018, we have maintained a consistent passing of all state-mandated testing of our edibles regarding dosing.
In addition, we have implemented improved recipes of our established edible products which has increased our product’s shelf life and improved taste. We have developed preparation recipes for our Pretzel Bites which is our top selling edible product and we have implemented an improved recipe for our gummies products.
We continually work on research for new edible products and developing recipes.
Lowering Our Production Costs
As cannabis flower continues to be the foundation product for the marijuana industry, we are striving for continuous improvement to our cultivation process. Our aim will always focus on increasing the production yields of each harvest, and to obtain the highest quality product harvest. Doing so achieves two things for us and our customers: (1) allows us to maximize our profit; and (2) gives our customers the best value for their dollar by offering highly potent THC products.

As of September 2018, we have three additional grow rooms operating which has increased our overall flower production. We have a record-keeping system in place to aid us in selecting flower strains that produce the largest yields and the highest THC. Our record-keeping system tracks room metrics, nutrient intake of the plants, and other vital metrics which helps us identify the best possible conditions for the plant to maximize its yield. We have introduced a perpetual harvest system to increase efficiency and allow for a steady supply of cannabis.
We have completed the process of installing separate HVAC units for each cultivation area throughout our facility. A centralized control system has been put in place to provide real-time information and control for all HVAC units in the facility. This system helps us track each room’s environmental metrics and help us maintain a proactive response in the event of any equipment failure. In addition to the centralized AC control system, we have completed installation of a CO2 system in our grow rooms. This CO2 system pumps carbon dioxide into the grow rooms which we expect to increase our flower yields by approximately 20-30 per cent. We have also completed installation of measurement devices for temperature, carbon dioxide, and humidity levels in each grow room. This will give us a real time reading of our grow rooms, allowing us to make adjustments in real time.
We commenced yield and production research with several brands of LED lights in October 2019. The research comprises of growing various strains under both conventional and new LED lighting systems. Data is gathered on the yield, strength and cultivation time under each light source to evaluate the efficacy of various LED lighting systems.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates all food and food ingredients introduced into or offered for sale in interstate commerce (with the exception of meat, poultry, and certain processed egg products). At this time, our edible food products are not introduced into or offered for sale in interstate commerce, and FDA approval of our edible products is not required. However, we must, and do, comply with food labeling requirements set forth by the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) and the Nevada Department of Taxation, which include: a statement of identity, net quantity of contents, ingredient statement, manufacturer information, nutritional labeling, “use-by” date, safe handling instructions, an allergen statement, “Keep out of reach of children” statement, “THIS IS A MARIJUANA PRODUCT” statement, cannabinoid profile, terpenoid profile, total amount of THC, our production license number, production run number, date of production, date of final testing, date on which the product was packaged, etc.
Our operations as a licensed cultivator and producer of marijuana and marijuana products could be found in violation of the federal Controlled Substances Act. Due to this, we may face higher federal income tax liability as it is subject to Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a cannabis company from deducting any expenses from their income on its federal income tax return, except for those considered to be cost of goods sold (COGS). While this severely impacts marijuana retailers, as opposed to cultivators and producers, we do face higher federal income tax liability than a non-cannabis company.
The State of Nevada, per Nevada Revised Statutes Section 372A.290, has implemented the following taxes on marijuana and marijuana products: (i) a fifteen percent (15%) excise tax on the wholesale sale which is paid by the cultivator and is calculated on the fair market value at wholesale set by the Department of Taxation, and (ii) a ten percent (10%) excise tax on the retail sale which is paid by the retail store. We are obligated to collect and remit the wholesale cultivation tax on all wholesale sales and file the appropriate tax returns on a monthly basis. We currently do not have retail operations in Nevada, and therefore are not required to collect and/or remit any retail taxes. All marijuana and marijuana products sold at retail must also pay and remit sales taxes at the applicable local sales tax level.

The regulated medical-recreational use cannabis industry is a rapidly growing industry that presents a unique opportunity under current market conditions. In the United States, the development and growth of the industry has generally been driven by state law and regulation, and accordingly, the market varies on a state-by-state basis. As of the date hereof, 31 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws allowing their citizens to use medical cannabis.
We believe that the following conditions create an attractive opportunity for the cultivation, production and retail sales of products within the medical recreational-use cannabis industry:
| · | Significant industry growth in recent years and expected continued growth; |
|
|
|
| · | A shift in public opinion and increasing momentum toward the legalization of cannabis; |

Notwithstanding the foregoing market opportunity and trends, and despite legalization at the state level, we continue to believe that the current state of federal law creates significant uncertainty and potential risks associated with investing in medical-use and recreational-use cannabis facilities.
We use a state licensed distribution company to distribute our products and our primary market is in State of Nevada.
Product Regulation
State laws that legalize and regulate medical-use cannabis allow patients to consume cannabis for medicinal reasons with a doctor’s recommendation subject to various requirements and limitations. In Nevada, an applicant of a medical-use cannabis card must obtain verification from attending provider of health care that the person has been diagnosed with a chronic or debilitating medical condition, and its symptoms may be mitigated by the medical use of marijuana. Nevada has characterized the following as “chronic or debilitating medical conditions”: acquired immune deficiency syndrome; cancer, glaucoma, a medical condition or treatment for a medical condition that produces cachexia, persistent muscle spasms, seizures, severe nausea, or severe pain. The above list may be amended or added to from time to time. Nevada extends reciprocity for non-residents who hold a valid medical-use card in their state of residence, as long as the person abides by Nevada’s legal limits on the possession. Medical-use card holders may not possess more than two and one-half ounces of usable marijuana in any one 14-day period.
In Ohio, patients must have a qualifying medical condition to be eligible for a medical-use card. Such qualifying medical conditions include: HIV/AIDS; Alzheimer's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); cancer; chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE); Crohn's disease; epilepsy or another seizure disorder; fibromyalgia; glaucoma; hepatitis C; inflammatory bowel disease; multiple sclerosis; pain that is chronic and severe, or intractable; Parkinson's disease; post-traumatic stress disorder; sickle cell anemia; spinal cord disease or injury; Tourette's syndrome; traumatic brain injury; and ulcerative colitis. Ohio prohibits smoking of medical-use cannabis, but permits oils, tinctures, plant material, edibles and patches. Ohio medical-use card holders may not possess more than a 90-day supply of medical marijuana, which is defined by form, as follows: plant material- no more than eight ounces of tier I medical marijuana, no more than five and three-tenths ounces of tier II medical marijuana; no more than twenty-six and fifty-five-hundredths grams of THC content in patches for transdermal administration or lotions, creams, or ointments for topical administration; no more than nine and nine-tenths grams of THC content in oil, tincture, capsule, or edible form for oral administration; no more than fifty-three and one-tenths grams of THC content in medical marijuana oil for vaporization.
In November 2016, California and Nevada voters both approved cannabis use for adults over the age of 21 without a physician’s prescription or recommendation, and permitted the cultivation and sale of marijuana, in each case subject to certain limitations. We have obtained the necessary permits and licenses to expand our existing business to cultivate and distribute cannabis in compliance with the laws in the State of Nevada and California. Despite the changes in state laws, cannabis remains illegal under federal law. In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, which is also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“the AUMA”), in a ballot initiative. Among other things, the AUMA makes it legal for adults over the age of 21 to use marijuana and to possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana flowers and 8 grams of marijuana concentrates. Individuals are also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, the AUMA establishes a licensing system for businesses to, among other things, cultivate, process and distribute marijuana products under certain conditions. On January 1, 2018, the California Bureau of Marijuana Control enacted regulations to implement the AUMA. Nevada voters approved Question 2 in a ballot initiative in November 2016. Among other things, Question 2 makes it legal for adults over the age of 21 to use marijuana and to possess up to one ounce of marijuana flowers and one-eighth of an ounce of marijuana concentrates. Individuals are also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, Question 2 authorizes businesses to cultivate, process and distribute marijuana products under certain conditions.
The U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amounts of marijuana for use on private property but has relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In the event the DOJ reverses its stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical marijuana and recreational marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenue and profits.

We are monitoring the current federal administration’s, the DOJ’s and Congress’ positions on federal marijuana law and policy. Since the beginning of the new Congress in January 2019, there have been positive discussions about the Federal Government’s approach to cannabis. The DOJ has not signaled any change in their enforcement efforts. Based on public statements and reports, we understand that certain aspects of those laws and policies are currently under review, but no official changes have been announced. It is possible that certain changes to existing laws or policies could have a negative effect on our business and results of operations. Although the possession, cultivation and distribution of marijuana for medical and adult use is permitted in California and Nevada, provided compliance with applicable state and local laws, rules, and regulations, marijuana is illegal under federal law. We believe we operate our business in compliance with applicable Nevada, California, Ohio and Arkansas laws and regulations. Any changes in federal, state or local law enforcement regarding marijuana may affect our ability to operate our business. Strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in the inability to proceed with our business plans, could expose us to potential criminal liability and could subject our properties to civil forfeiture. Any changes in banking, insurance or other business services may also affect our ability to operate our business.
Competitive Conditions and Position
Production and Sales
NMG has a number of licenses and a long-term lease for a facility allowing it to cultivate and produce medical and recreational marijuana. In addition to flower products we produce marijuana extract products such as distillate oil, ice wax, dry sift, shatter, edibles and topicals.
The Nevada, California, Ohio and Arkansas Markets
We face competition from a variety of competitors. Several factors impacting competition include, but are not limited to, the quality control and consistency of products being produced, the hiring and retention of competent personnel within the industry, brand marketing and production costs.
The United States Market
We face competition from a diverse mix of market participants, including, but not limited to, independent investors, hedge funds and other cannabis operators, all of whom may compete with us to acquire real estate zoned for medical-use and/or recreational-use cannabis facilities. The current market for medical and recreational marijuana products may be limited as more competitors enter the market.

Family Relationships

Board Committees
Nominating Committee
We do not have a Nominating Committee and our Board of Directors as a whole is responsible for identifying and nominating qualified individuals to our Board of Directors. Since our formation we have relied upon the personal relationships of our President and directors to attract individuals to our Board of Directors.
Our Board of Directors considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given our relative size and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

Our Compensation Committee is comprised of Mr. Reuter, Mr. Wenger and Mr. Hoffman. This committee reviews and recommends to our Board of Directors the salaries, and benefits of all employees, consultants, directors and other individuals compensated by us.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Program Objectives
We have not established a strategy for setting executive salary levels, creating standards it applies in setting compensation levels or what factors it intends to encourage by establishing compensation levels. Since we acquired NMG, raised equity capital and have been generative revenues from the sale of our products, we have been compensating our NEOs at levels comparable to executive officers of companies within its industry at similar stages of growth.
Our Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to our Board of Directors the salaries, and benefits of all employees, consultants, directors and other individuals compensated by us. The Board of Directors assumes responsibility for reviewing the recommendations of the Compensation Committee and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for our senior management. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors reviews the compensation of senior management on a semi-annual basis taking into account compensation paid by other issuers of similar size and activity. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors receives independent competitive market information on compensation levels for executives. It uses salary data of comparable private and public companies as a benchmark for setting executive compensation. This data is obtained from various sources including online research and market surveys.
Although permitted, at this time no NEO or director has or intends to purchase financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

Table of Contents |
Elements of the Compensation Program
The total compensation plan for NEOs consists of a base compensation structure and equity-based compensation program in the form of stock options. The compensation program for our senior management is designed with a view that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, including:
| (a) | attracting and retaining qualified executives; |
|
|
|
| (b) | motivating the short and long-term performance of these executives; and |
|
|
|
| (c) | better aligning their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. |
In compensating our senior management, we have arranged for equity participation through our 2012 Incentive Stock Option Plan.
Base Salary
The base salary component of NEO compensation is intended to provide a fixed level of competitive pay that reflects each NEO’s primary duties and responsibilities. The policy of Body and Mind is that salaries for its NEOs are competitive within its industry and generally set at the median salary level among entities its size.
Stock Options
Effective October 25, 2012, our Board adopted the 2012 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Incentive Stock Option Plan”). The purpose of the 2012 Incentive Stock Option Plan is to enhance the long-term shareholder value by offering opportunities to our directors, executive officers, key employees and eligible consultants to acquire our Common Shares in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in the service of the Company.
Previous grants will be taken into account when considering new grants and a maximum of 10% of the number of our issued and outstanding Common Shares are available for issuance under the 2012 Incentive Stock Option Plan. There are currently 9,025,000 options issued under the 2012 Incentive Stock Option Plan.
Compensation Governance
Our Compensation Committee is responsible for recommending to our Board of Directors the compensation to be paid to our directors and executive officers. We do not have any formal compensation policies and the practices adopted by the Compensation Committed and our Board of Directors to determine the compensation for our directors and executive officers is described above.

(1) | Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of such security; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. Certain shares of common stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares of common stock are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares of common stock outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of the date of this Proxy Statement. As of March 2, 2020, there were 101,853,217 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding. |

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws. In addition, we currently maintain management liability insurance that covers any loss up to a certain amount that our directors and officers may become legally obligated to pay as a result of a claim for a wrongful act for which we do not indemnify the directors and officers, or covers any loss up to a certain amount that we indemnify our directors and officers as a result of a claim for a wrongful act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 Act and is therefore unenforceable.

2. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
| In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after 15 December 2019. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework –Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows. |
| |
3. | Significant Accounting Policies |
| The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Basis of presentation
These consolidated interim financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is 31 July.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Amounts receivable
Amounts receivable represents amounts owed from customers for sale of medical and recreational cannabis and sales tax recoverable. Amounts are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and current economic conditions. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis. As at 31 October 2019 and 31 July 2019, the Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts. |

3. | Significant Accounting Policies – Continued |
| |
Revenue recognition | |
| The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of medical and recreational cannabis. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered and the goods have been delivered, the amount is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company does not have standard terms that permit return of product; however, in certain markets where returns occur management estimates the amount of returns as variable consideration based on historical return experience and adjust revenue accordingly. Products that do not meet the Company’s high-quality standards are returned by the customer or recalled and destroyed and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The reversal of revenue is recorded upon determination that the product will be recalled and destroyed. Management estimates the costs required to facilitate product returns and records them in cost of goods sold as required.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw material, work in progress (live plants and plants in the drying process), finished goods, and consumables. The Company values its raw material, finished goods and consumables at the lower of the actual costs or its current estimated market value less costs to sell. The Company values its work in progress at cost. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for obsolete and potentially impaired items.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis as follows: |
Office equipment |
| 7 years |
Cultivation equipment |
| 7 years |
Production equipment |
| 7 years |
Kitchen equipment |
| 7 years |
Vehicles |

Vault equipment |

Intangible assets acquired from third parties are measured initially at fair value and either classified as indefinite life or finite life depending on their characteristics. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for indicators of impairment at least annually. The Company’s brands and licenses have indefinite lives; therefore no amortization is recognized. |

Income taxes | |
| |
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not. | |
| |
Basic and diluted net loss per share | |
| |
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. | |
| Segments of an enterprise and related information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim consolidated financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
Comprehensive loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income/loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at 31 July 2019, the Company reported foreign currency translation adjustments as other comprehensive income or loss and included a schedule of comprehensive income/loss in the consolidated financial statements. |

|
| Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollars. The Company’s subsidiaries have a functional currency of U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Exchange gains and losses on inter-company balances that form part of the net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to those other than employees in accordance with ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to those other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for common stock options and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances.
Fair value measurements
The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are: | |
|
|
|
| · | Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Our Level 3 assets and liabilities include investments in other private entities, and goodwill and intangible assets, when they are recorded at fair value due to an impairment charge. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities. |
|
|
|
| The Company measures equity investments without readily determinable fair values on a nonrecurring basis. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections. | |
|
| |
| Other current financial assets and current financial liabilities have fair values that approximate their carrying values. |

|
|
Use of estimates and assumptions | |
|
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |
|
|
Lease accounting | |
|
|
Under ASC 842, leases are separated into two classifications: operating leases and financial leases. Lease classification under ASC 842 is relatively similar to ASC 840. For a lease to be classified as a finance lease, it must meet one of the five finance lease criteria: (1) transference of title/ownership to the lessee, (2) purchase option, (3) lease term for major part of the remaining economic life of the asset, (4) present value represents substantially all of the fair value of the asset, and (5) asset specialization. Any lease that does not meet these criteria is classified as an operating lease. ASC 842 requires all leases to be recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. Specifically, for operating leases, the Company must recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability upon lease commitment. | |

| Management of financial risks |
| |
The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. | |
| |
Credit risk | |
| |
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is not exposed to credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents as it does not hold cash in excess of federally insured limits, with major financial institutions. Credit risk associated with the convertible loans receivable (including the investment in and advances to GLDH) arises from the possibility that the principal and/or interest due may become uncollectible. The Company mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationship. The Company is not currently exposed to any significant credit risk associated with its trade receivable. |

4. | Financial Instruments – Continued |
| |
Liquidity risk | |
| |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company had a working capital of $8,288,767 as at 31 October 2019 and accordingly is not currently exposed to any liquidity risk. | |
| |
Interest rate risk | |
| |
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it does not hold financial instruments that will fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. | |
| |
Currency risk | |
| Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency risk by incurring expenditures and holding assets denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 1% change in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would not result in a significant change to the Company’s consolidated interim statement of operations. |
| |
Other risks | |
| |
The Company is not exposed to other risks unless otherwise noted. | |

6. | Convertible loan receivable |
|
|
Effective March 15, 2018, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, DEP Nevada and NMG, entered into a convertible loan agreement and a management agreement with Comprehensive Care Group LLC (“CCG”), an Arkansas limited liability company, with respect to the development of a medical cannabis dispensary facility in West Memphis, Arkansas. | |
|
|
Pursuant to the management agreement, NMG will provide operations and management services, including management, staffing, operations, administration, oversight, and other related services. Under the management agreement, NMG will be required to obtain approval from CCG for any key decisions as defined in the agreement and accordingly the Company does not control CCG. NMG will be paid a monthly management fee equal to 66.67% of the monthly net profits of CCG, subject to conversion of the convertible loan as discussed below upon which the monthly management fee shall be $6,000 per month, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. |

6. | Convertible loan receivable – Continued |
|
|
The convertible loan agreement is for an amount up to $1,250,000 from DEP to CCG with proceeds to be used to fund construction of a facility, working capital and initial operating expenses. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of $6,000 per month until the parties mutually agree to increase the interest. Upon the latter of one year of granting of a medical cannabis dispensary license by the appropriate authorities or one year after entering into the convertible loan agreement, DEP may elect to convert the loan into preferred units of CCG equal to 40% of all outstanding units of CCG, subject to approval of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission. | |
|
|
The Company evaluated the convertible loan receivable’s settlement provisions and elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, to value this instrument. Under such election, the loan receivable is measured initially and subsequently at fair value, with any changes in the fair value of the instrument being recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a change in fair value of the financial instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of this instrument by first estimating the fair value of the straight debt portion, excluding the embedded conversion option, using a discounted cash flow model. The Company then estimates the fair value of the embedded conversion option using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The sum of these two valuations is the fair value of the loan receivable. Management believes that the accretion of the straight debt portion and embedded derivative related to the conversion option are not material. As at 31 October 2019, the Company had advanced $67,166 (31 July 2019 - $52,225) and accrued interest income of $45,000 (2018 - $Nil) which is included in accounts receivable. |

9. | Notes Payable | |
|
| |
| In connection with the Acquisition of NMG, on 14 November 2017, the Company issued promissory notes totaling $2,175,000 to NMG Members (Note 14). As these promissory notes are non-interest bearing, they were discounted to a present value of $1,887,863 at a rate of 12%. These promissory notes are non-interest bearing, secured by the assets of the Company, and due the earlier of 14 February 2019 or within 30 days from the date of the Company completes a financing of at least $500,000. Any unpaid amounts at maturity will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. At 31 July 2018, the promissory notes were accreted to their face value as it was estimated that repayment would occur imminently due to the Company’s fund raising initiatives. On 12 November 2018 the notes were amended such that $1,175,000 was repaid and the balance of $1,000,000 would be due on 14 February 2019. As the balance was not repaid on 14 February 2019, interest commenced accruing at 8% per annum and the principal plus interest is to be repaid on the earlier of i) 12 months from due date or ii) within 10 business days of closing a financing greater than $5,000,000. During the year ended 31 July 2019, because the Company completed a financing of more than $500,000, the Company accrued interest expense of $24,443 (2018 - $277,219) and repaid the note in full. |

In connection with an investment agreement with Australis on 30 October 2018 (Notes 11, 15 and 16), the Company issued an unsecured convertible debenture in the amount of CAD$1,600,000 to Australis. The convertible debenture bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is to be made on or prior to 30 October 2020. The convertible debenture is convertible at the option of Australis into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of CAD$0.55 per common share, subject to adjustment and acceleration in certain circumstances. | |
| |
At the date of issue, a beneficial conversion feature of $88,797 (CAD$116,714) was recognized and the debt portion of the convertible debentures was recorded at a value of $1,128,750 (CAD$1,483,636). The value of the beneficial conversion feature was recorded in equity as additional paid-in capital. Subsequent to initial recognition, the debt has been amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method at a rate of 11.3% per annum. |

|
|
| On 15 May 2017, the Company entered into an assignment and novation agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Toro Pacific Management Inc. (the “Transferor”) pursuant to which the Transferor assigned a letter of intent (the “LOI”) effective 12 May 2017 to the Company in accordance with its terms. The Assignment Agreement and the LOI contemplated a business combination transaction (the “Acquisition”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of NMG, an arm’s length Nevada-based licensed producer of medical cannabis.
As consideration for the Assignment Agreement, the Company will issue to the Transferor 1,000,000 common shares of the Company. On 13 November 2017, the Assignment Agreement was amended, whereby the Company would issue the 1,000,000 common shares as follows: |
| a. | 470,000 common shares to Benjamin Rutledge upon closing of the Acquisition (issued); |
| b. | 60,000 common shares to Chris Hunt upon closing of the Acquisition (issued); |
| c. | 470,000 common shares to the Transferor according to the following schedule: |
|
| · | 1/10 of the Transferor’s shares upon closing of the Acquisition (issued); |
|
| · | 1/6 of the remaining Transferor’s shares 6 months after closing the Acquisition (issued); |
|
| · | 1/5 of the remaining Transferor’s shares 12 months after closing the Acquisition (issued); |
|
| · | 1/4 of the remaining Transferor’s shares 18 months after closing the Acquisition (issued); |
|
| · | 1/3 of the remaining Transferor’s shares 24 months after closing the Acquisition; |
|
| · | 1/2 of the remaining Transferor’s shares 30 months after closing the Acquisition; and |
|
| · | the remaining Transferor’s shares 36 months after closing the Acquisition. |
|
| ||
| The remaining 423,000 shares to be issued to the Transferor over the 36 month period are included in equity as shares to be issued with a total fair value of $135,202 as at 13 November 2017 (Note 11).
On 14 September 2017, the Company and DEP Nevada entered into a definitive agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with NMG. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, DEP Nevada acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of NMG in exchange for the issuance of the Company’s common shares and certain cash and other non-cash consideration (the “Acquisition”).
The Company completed a concurrent financing consisting of 9,102,141 subscription receipts of the Company (the “Subscription Receipts”), at an issue price of CAD$0.66 per Subscription Receipt, with each Subscription Receipt being automatically converted, at no additional cost to the subscriber, upon the completion of the Acquisition for one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of CAD$0.90 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. Each warrant is subject to acceleration provisions following the six-month anniversary of the date of closing, if the closing trading price of the common shares is equal to or greater than CAD$1.20 for seven consecutive trading days, at which time the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by issuing a press release announcing the reduced warrant term whereupon the warrant will expire 21 calendar days after the date of such press release. These Subscription Receipts were recognized as liability on initial receipt. During the year ended 31 July 2018, the Acquisition closed and the shares were issued; therefore the Subscription Receipts were reclassified from liability to equity on conversion to common shares. |

| Interim Agreement – 28 November 2018 |
|
|
| On 28 November 2018, the Company entered into a binding interim agreement (the “Interim Agreement”) with GLDH, a private company incorporated under the laws of Delaware, and David Barakett (“Barakett”) whereby the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of GLDH in connection with the issuance of convertible notes (the “Transaction”). GLDH holds a number of assets relating to the production and sale of cannabis products in the United States of America. The Transaction will be contingent upon the Company completing its due diligence.
The terms of the Interim Agreement include the following:
The Company shall issue to Barakett common shares of the Company (the “Earn Out Shares”) based on the CSE listed 5-day VWAP of the common shares of the Company and at the USD/CAD exchange rate at the close of market on 27 November 2018. The common shares of the Company had a 5-day VWAP of CAD$0.7439 at a USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.3296 and as a result the Company agreed to issue up to a maximum of 11,255,899 common shares with a maximum consideration of US$6,297,580 or CAD$8,373,263. Barakett will be eligible to receive Earn Out Shares for a period of 12 months on the following basis: |
| 1. | upon GLDH obtaining all of (i) the Long Beach Recreational License; (ii) the San Diego Medical License; (iii) the San Diego Recreational License; and (iv) the San Diego State License (“Milestone I”), the issuance of Earn Out Shares to Barakett totalling 5,627,950 shares (50% of the total Earn Out Shares); |
| 2. | upon GLDH achieving total attributable revenues of at least US$3,300,000 over a period of three consecutive months from each of the Long Beach dispensary, the San Diego dispensary and Las Vegas ShowGrow (“Milestone II”), the issuance of Earn Out Shares to Barakeet totalling 4,502,360 (40% of the total Earn Out Shares); and |
| 3. | prior to the completion of Milestone I and Milestone II, and upon completion of a certain audit of GLDH showing no taxes outstanding or any unknown material liabilities for GLDH, the issuance of Earn Out Shares to Barakett totalling 1,125,589 shares (10% of the total Earn Out Shares). |
|
|
|
| Additionally, the Company made an investment into GLDH by way of a US$5,200,000 senior secured convertible note (the “Note”) bearing interest at a rate of 20% per annum to be repaid to the Company on 28 November 2020 unless converted by the Company in accordance with the agreement. The Note is secured by a general security agreement and a UCC-1 financing statement in all U.S. states where GLDH has assets. Barakett provided a personal guarantee to the Company for the Note.
In order for the Company to fund the Note: |
| 1. | the Company entered into a loan agreement with Australis, whereby Australis provided the Company a two-year US$4,000,000 loan (Note 9); and |
| 2. | Australis exercised 3,206,160 common shares upon exercise of 3,206,160 warrants at a price of CAD$0.50 per common share for aggregate proceeds of approximately US$1,200,000 (Note 11). |

21. | Subsequent Events | |
| On 30 November 2019, NMG CC entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with SD whereby NMG CC and SD agreed to terminate the Management Agreement and to enter into a mutual release of any and all claims related to the Management Agreement, subject to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
As of 30 November 2019, SD owed NMG CC management fees (the “Monies Owed”) under the Management Agreement. In consideration of NMG CC’s discharge of the Monies Owed, SD has agreed to pay NMG CC one-hundred percent (100%) of all proceeds received from the sale of all or any part of its inventory (the “Inventory”) as of 1 November 2019. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, SD shall provide monthly updates of the remaining Inventory until the Inventory has been fully exhausted. NMG CC will determine the sale price for any item in Inventory subject to the Settlement Agreement.
Brand Director Agreement
On 30 November 2019, NMG CC entered into a brand director agreement (the “Brand Director Agreement”) with SD. Pursuant to the Brand Director Agreement, SD has engaged NMG CC to provide certain advisory and brand director services in connection with SD’s manufacture of Company-branded products, as well as certain other products (the “Managed Products”) as agreed to by NMGCC (the “Brand Director Services”). The initial term of the Brand Director Agreement is six months and the parties may renew the Brand Director Agreement for successive three-month renewal periods.
The Brand Director Services include: (a) managing SD’s production of the Managed Products; (b) payment of a reimbursement fee to SD equal to the amount of direct costs and direct taxes applicable to the Managed Products; (c) managing inventory of the Managed Products; and (d) directing SD to enter into distribution agreements and sale agreements with third-party commercial cannabis licensees for the distribution and sale of the Managed Products in accordance with applicable law. Pursuant to the Brand Director Agreement, NMG CC will pay a monthly fee (the “Contribution Fee”) of $5,000 to SD. In connection with the Brand Director Agreement, as partial repayment for the principal and interest accrued under a certain loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between NMG CC and SD dated 6 June 2019, SD waives payment of the Contribution Fee for the first five (5) months of the Brand Direction Agreement.
In consideration for the Brand Director Services, SD (as the “Licensee”) has agreed to pay NMG CC (in its capacity as the “Brand Director”) a brand director fee for each calendar month during the term of the Brand Director Agreement, whereby Licensee shall pay to Brand Director a fee to be calculated as follows: (x) net revenue for a single calendar month, multiplied by, (y) seventy-five percent (75%); (z) plus any fees to be paid to NMG CC in connection with the equipment lease agreement (the “Equipment Lease Agreement”) dated 6 June 2019 (the "Equipment Lease Fee") added to the product of (x) and (y), the (q) total amount shall be the fee paid to NMG CC. If the net revenue, minus the product of (x) and (y) is less than the Equipment Lease Fee in any given month, the difference shall carry over to the subsequent month, to be added to that month's Equipment Lease Fee, or the difference may be paid by Licensee at its sole option.
Brand License Agreement
On 30 November 2019, DEP entered into a brand license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with SD. Pursuant to the License Agreement, DEP granted SD a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sub-licensable right (the “License”) to use certain licensed marks in connection with or on licensed products, solely in connection with SD’s commercial cannabis activity in California. In consideration for the License, SD will pay DEP a monthly fee equal to $100, payable on a quarterly basis.
During the term of the License Agreement, SD must remain in compliance with all state and local cannabis rules and regulations in California, and maintain valid commercial cannabis licenses. SD will follow the guidance of DEP and only utilize packaging and labelling materials purchased from (or at the direction of) DEP. The License Agreement will be in full force and effect for the duration of the Brand Director Agreement.
Equipment Purchase Agreement
On 30 November 2019, NMG CC and SD entered into an equipment purchase agreement (the “Equipment Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which NMG CC agreed to purchase certain equipment (the “Equipment”) from SD. The aggregate purchase price for the Equipment is $235,684.93 and will be applied to the outstanding balance under the Loan Agreement.
First Amendment to the Equipment Lease Agreement
On 30 November 2019, NMG CC and SD entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Equipment Lease Agreement. Pursuant to the First Amendment, NMG CC and SD amended (i) the term of the Equipment Lease Agreement to be coterminous with the Brand Director Agreement; and (ii) to update the equipment being leased pursuant to the Equipment Lease Agreement and to update the monthly rental rate for the equipment being leased.
Release & Satisfaction of Loan Agreement
On 30 November 2019, NMG CC and SD entered into a release and satisfaction of loan agreement (the “Release Agreement”). Pursuant to the Release Agreement, NMG CC agreed that all indebtedness of SD to NMG CC arising from the Loan Agreement (and promissory note issued in connection with the Loan Agreement) is hereby satisfied and discharged in full. The release is granted based on SD’s obligations and duties pursuant to the Equipment Purchase Agreement and its five (5) month waiver of the Contribution Fee under the Brand Director Agreement. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Body and Mind Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Body and Mind Inc. (the "Company") as of July 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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 in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

2. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
| In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) "Leases." Topic 842 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 840 "Leases." Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after 15 December 2018. Early adoption by public entities is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, and there are certain optional practical expedients that an entity may elect to apply. Full retrospective application is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its financial statements. |
|
|
| In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after 15 December 2019. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on the financial statements. |
|
|
| In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments in this ASU address a narrow-scope financial reporting issue related to the tax effects that may become “stranded” in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). The amendments in ASU 2018-02 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on the financial statements. |
|
|
| In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework –Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements. |
|
|
| The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows. |

|
| Amounts receivable
Amounts receivable represents amounts owed from customers for sale of medical and recreational cannabis and sales tax recoverable. Amounts are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and current economic conditions. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis. As at 31 July 2019 and 2018, the Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Revenue recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The standard is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Since its initial release, the FASB has issued several amendments to the standard, which include clarification of accounting guidance related to identification of performance obligations and principal versus agent considerations. Topic 606 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of the 2019 fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of medical and recreational cannabis. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been rendered and the goods have been delivered, the amount is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company does not have standard terms that permit return of product; however, in certain markets where returns occur management estimates the amount of returns as variable consideration based on historical return experience and adjust revenue accordingly. Products that do not meet the Company’s high-quality standards are returned by the customer or recalled and destroyed and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The reversal of revenue is recorded upon determination that the product will be recalled and destroyed. Management estimates the costs required to facilitate product returns and records them in cost of goods sold as required.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw material, work in progress (live plants and plants in the drying process), finished goods, and consumables. The Company values its raw material, finished goods and consumables at the lower of the actual costs or its current estimated market value less costs to sell. The Company values its work in progress at cost. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for obsolete and potentially impaired items.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis as follows: |
Office equipment | 7 years |
Cultivation equipment | 7 years |
Production equipment | 7 years |
Kitchen equipment | 7 years |
Vehicles | 7 years |
Vault equipment | 7 years |
Leasehold improvements | shorter of 15 years or the term of the lease |

|
Brands and licenses | |
|
|
Intangible assets acquired from third parties are measured initially at fair value and either classified as indefinite life or finite life depending on their characteristics. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for indicators of impairment at least annually. The Company’s brands and licenses have indefinite lives; therefore no amortization is recognized. | |
|
|
| Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
Basic and diluted net loss per share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Segments of an enterprise and related information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim consolidated financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has evaluated this Codification and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
Comprehensive loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income/loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at 31 July 2019, the Company reported foreign currency translation adjustments as other comprehensive income or loss and included a schedule of comprehensive income/loss in the consolidated financial statements. |

|
| Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollars. The Company’s subsidiaries have a functional currency of U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Exchange gains and losses on inter-company balances that form part of the net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to those other than employees in accordance with ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to those other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for common stock options and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are: |
| · | Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Our Level 3 assets and liabilities include investments in other private entities, and goodwill and intangible assets, when they are recorded at fair value due to an impairment charge. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities. |
| The Company measures equity investments without readily determinable fair values on a nonrecurring basis. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections. |
|
|
| Other current financial assets and current financial liabilities have fair values that approximate their carrying values. |

|
Use of estimates and assumptions | |
|
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |

Management of financial risks | |
|
|
The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. | |
|
|
Credit risk | |
|
|
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is not exposed to credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents as it does not hold cash in excess of federally insured limits, with major financial institutions. Credit risk associated with the convertible loans receivable (including the investment in and advances to GLDH) arises from the possibility that the principal and/or interest due may become uncollectible. The Company mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationship. The Company is not currently exposed to any significant credit risk associated with its trade receivable. | |
|
|
Liquidity risk | |
|
|
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company had a working capital of $10,262,959 as at July 31, 2019 and accordingly is not currently exposed to any liquidity risk. | |
|
|
Interest rate risk | |
|
|
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it does not hold financial instruments that will fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. |

4. | Financial Instruments – Continued |
|
|
| Currency risk |
|
|
| Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency risk by incurring expenditures and holding assets denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 1% change in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would not result in a significant change to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. |
|
|
| Other risks |
|
|
| The Company is not exposed to other risks unless otherwise noted. |

6. | Convertible loan receivable |
| |
Effective March 15, 2019, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, DEP Nevada and NMG, entered into a convertible loan agreement and a management agreement with Comprehensive Care Group LLC (“CCG”), an Arkansas limited liability company, with respect to the development of a medical cannabis dispensary facility in West Memphis, Arkansas. | |
| |
Pursuant to the management agreement, NMG will provide operations and management services, including management, staffing, operations, administration, oversight, and other related services. Under the management agreement, NMG will be required to obtain approval from CCG for any key decisions as defined in the agreement and accordingly the Company does not control CCG. NMG will be paid a monthly management fee equal to 66.67% of the monthly net profits of CCG, subject to conversion of the convertible loan as discussed below upon which the monthly management fee shall be $6,000 per month, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. | |
| |
The convertible loan agreement is for an amount up to $1,250,000 from DEP to CCG with proceeds to be used to fund construction of a facility, working capital and initial operating expenses. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of $6,000 per month until the parties mutually agree to increase the interest. Upon the latter of one year of granting of a medical cannabis dispensary license by the appropriate authorities or one year after entering into the convertible loan agreement, DEP may elect to convert the loan into preferred units of CCG equal to 40% of all outstanding units of CCG, subject to approval of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission. |

6. | Convertible loan receivable – Continued |
|
|
The Company evaluated the convertible loan receivable’s settlement provisions and elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, to value this instrument. Under such election, the loan receivable is measured initially and subsequently at fair value, with any changes in the fair value of the instrument being recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a change in fair value of the financial instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of this instrument by first estimating the fair value of the straight debt portion, excluding the embedded conversion option, using a discounted cash flow model. The Company then estimates the fair value of the embedded conversion option using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The sum of these two valuations is the fair value of the loan receivable. Management believes that the accretion of the straight debt portion and embedded derivative related to the conversion option are not material. As at July 31, 2019, the Company had advanced $52,225 (2018 - $Nil) and accrued interest income of $27,000 (2018 - $Nil). | |

9. | Notes Payable |
| |
| In connection with the Acquisition of NMG, on 14 November 2017, the Company issued promissory notes totaling $2,175,000 to NMG Members (Note 14). As these promissory notes are non-interest bearing, they were discounted to a present value of $1,887,863 at a rate of 12%. These promissory notes are non-interest bearing, secured by the assets of the Company, and due the earlier of 14 February 2019 or within 30 days from the date of the Company completes a financing of at least $500,000. Any unpaid amounts at maturity will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. At 31 July 2018, the promissory notes were accreted to their face value as it was estimated that repayment would occur imminently due to the Company’s fund raising initiatives. On 12 November 2018 the notes were amended such that $1,175,000 was repaid and the balance of $1,000,000 would be due on 14 February 2019. As the balance was not repaid on 14 February 2019, interest commenced accruing at 8% per annum and the principal plus interest is to be repaid on the earlier of i) 12 months from due date or ii) within 10 business days of closing a financing greater than $5,000,000. During the year ended 31 July 2019, because the Company completed a financing of more than $500,000, the Company accrued interest expense of $24,443 (2018 - $277,219) and repaid the note in full. |
|
|
| In connection with the investment of Green Light District Holdings, Inc. (“GLDH”) on 29 November 2018, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $4,000,000 to Australis Capital Inc. (“Australis”) (Notes 15 and 18). The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum, is secured by the assets of the Company, matures in two years and requires semi-annual interest payments unless the Company elects to accrue the interest by adding it to the principal amount. The Company issued 1,105,083 common shares of the Company as a finance fee to Australis valued at $822,494 (Note 11). During the year ended 31 July 2019, the Company accrued interest and accretion expense of $1,118,051 (2018 - $Nil) and repaid the note in full. The Company also paid a prepayment penalty of $200,000 for repaying the note prior to the maturity date. |

10. | Convertible Debt |
|
|
| In connection with an investment agreement with Australis on 30 October 2018 (Notes 11, 15 and 16), the Company issued an unsecured convertible debenture in the amount of CAD$1,600,000 to Australis. The convertible debenture bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is to be made on or prior to 30 October 2020. The convertible debenture is convertible at the option of Australis into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of CAD$0.55 per common share, subject to adjustment and acceleration in certain circumstances. |
|
|
| At the date of issue, a beneficial conversion feature of $88,797 (CAD$116,714) was recognized and the debt portion of the convertible debentures was recorded at a value of $1,128,750 (CAD$1,483,636). The value of the beneficial conversion feature was recorded in equity as additional paid-in capital. Subsequent to initial recognition, the debt has been amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method at a rate of 11.3% per annum. During the year ended 31 July 2019, the Company accrued interest and accretion expense of $98,392 (2018 - $Nil). The Company paid interest of $72,623 (2018 - $Nil) calculated up to 31 July, 2019 and further paid interest of $88,821 in advance up to 30 June 2020. As consideration for receiving the interest in advance, Australis agreed to convert the debt into equity on 1 July, 2020 and has given up the right to receive cash. The number of shares to be issue on conversion is fixed at 2,909,091 common shares and, accordingly, the debt is presented within equity as shares to be issued. |

| The Company completed a concurrent financing consisting of 9,102,141 subscription receipts of the Company (the “Subscription Receipts”), at an issue price of CAD$0.66 per Subscription Receipt, with each Subscription Receipt being automatically converted, at no additional cost to the subscriber, upon the completion of the Acquisition for one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of CAD$0.90 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. Each warrant is subject to acceleration provisions following the six-month anniversary of the date of closing, if the closing trading price of the common shares is equal to or greater than CAD$1.20 for seven consecutive trading days, at which time the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by issuing a press release announcing the reduced warrant term whereupon the warrant will expire 21 calendar days after the date of such press release. These Subscription Receipts were recognized as liability on initial receipt. During the year ended 31 July 2018, the Acquisition closed and the shares were issued; therefore the Subscription Receipts were reclassified from liability to equity on conversion to common shares. |

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws.
Nevada Law
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he:
(a) | is not liable pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 78.138, or |
(b) | acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. |
In addition, Section 78.7502 permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he:
(a) | is not liable pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 78.138; or |
(b) | acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. |
II-1 |

Table of Contents |
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter, the corporation is required to indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
Section 78.751(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to an undertaking to repay the amount if it is determined by a court that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
(a) | by the stockholders; |
(b) | by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; |
(c) | if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or |
(d) | if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. |
Section 78.751(2) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that the certificate of articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than director or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
Section 78.751(3) provides that the indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section:
| (a) | Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to Section 78.751(2), may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omission involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. |
|
|
|
| (b) | Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. |
Section 78.752 of the Nevada Revised Statutes allows a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.
Other financial arrangements made by the corporation pursuant to Section 78.752 may include the following:
(a) | the creation of a trust fund; |
(b) | the establishment of a program of self-insurance; |
(c) | the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the corporation; and |
(d) | the establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety |
II-2 |
|
Table of Contents |
No financial arrangement made pursuant to Section 78.752 may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.
Bylaws of Body and Mind
Pursuant to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have adopted the following indemnification provisions in Article XI of our Bylaws for our directors and officers:
Section 1 – Indemnification of Officers and Directors, Employees and Other Persons.
| (a) | The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The adverse termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. |
|
|
|
| (b) | The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is firmly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. |
|
|
|
| (c) | To the extent that a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. |
|
|
|
| (d) | Any indemnification under subsections (a) or (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) or (b). Such determination shall be made: |
| i. | By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or |
|
|
|
| ii. | If such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or |
|
|
|
| iii. | By the stockholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of stockholders who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding. |
II-3 |
|
Table of Contents |
| (e) | Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided in subsection (d) upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this section. |
Section 2 – Other Indemnification.
The indemnification provided by these Articles shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise, both as to actions in his official capacity and as to actions in another capacity while holding such
position and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 3 – Liability Insurance.
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of (his status as such, whether or not the Corporation shall have indemnified him against such liability under the provisions of this Article XI.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our Directors, officers and control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of CAD$0.90 per warrant for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. We relied on exemptions from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act for the issuance as the securities were issued to the individual through an offshore transaction which was negotiated and consummated outside of the United States.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
| (i) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| (1) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
|
|
|
| (2) | To 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
|
|
| (3) | To 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) | 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; and |
|
|
|
| (iii) | 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. |
(b) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
(c) 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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
