FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “should”, “would”, “could”, or “may”, or other such words, verbs in the future tense and words and phrases that convey similar meaning and uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward–looking statements. There are a number of important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward–looking statements. While we make these forward–looking statements based on various factors and using numerous assumptions, you have no assurance the factors and assumptions will prove to be materially accurate when the events they anticipate actually occur in the future. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this annual report on Form 10-K.

 

The forward–looking statements are based upon our beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time we make these statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward–looking statements as (i) these statements are neither predictions nor guaranties of future events or circumstances, and (ii) the assumptions, beliefs, expectations, forecasts and projections about future events may differ materially from actual results. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward–looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the date of this report.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

General Business Development

 

Corporate History

 

Agritek Holdings, Inc. (referred to hereafter as “AGTK,” or, the “Company”), was initially incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1997 under the name Easy Street Online, Inc.

 

In 1997, the Company changed its name to Frontline Communications Corp. (“Frontline”) and operated as a regional Internet service provider (“ISP”) providing Internet access, web hosting, website design, and related services to residential and small business customers throughout the Northeast United States and, through a network partnership agreement, Internet access to customers nationwide.

 

On April 3, 2003, the Company acquired Proyecciones y Ventas Organizadas, S.A. de C.V. (“Provo Mexico”) and in December 2003 the Company changed the name to Provo International Inc. (“Provo”).

 

In 2008, Provo changed its name to Ebenefits Direct, Inc., which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, L.A. Marketing Plans, LLC, engaged in the business of direct response marketing. The Company’s principal business was to market and sell non-insurance healthcare programs designed to complement medical insurance products and to provide savings for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance products.

 

On October 14, 2008, Ebenefits Direct, Inc. changed its name to Seraph Security, Inc. (“Seraph”).

 

On April 25, 2009, Seraph acquired Commerce Online Technologies, Inc., a credit and debit card processing company.

 

On May 20, 2009, Seraph Security, Inc. changed its name to Commerce Online, Inc. to more accurately reflect its core business of merchant processing, and financial services.

 

As of February 18, 2010, Commerce Online, Inc. changed its name to Cannabis Medical Solutions, Inc. (“CMSI”) as a provider of merchant processing payment technologies for the medical marijuana and wellness sector.

 

On March 8, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of 800 Commerce, Inc. (“800 Commerce”) a Florida Corporation incorporated by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to 800 Commerce for all the issued and outstanding stock of 800 Commerce, Inc.

 

In June 2010, 31,288,702 shares of common stock were issued as dividend shares (the “dividend”) to all existing shareholders of common stock of record.

 

On June 14, 2011, Cannabis Medical Solutions, Inc. changed its merchant name to MediSwipe Inc. (“MWIP”) as a result of its focus on the processing and financial services related to medical marijuana business.

 

On June 26, 2013, the Company formed American Hemp Trading Company, a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

On June 26, 2013, the Company formed Agritech Innovations, Inc. (“AGTI”), a wholly owned subsidiary. On September 3, 2013, AGTI changed its name to Agritech Venture Holdings, Inc. (“AVH”).

 

4
 

On November 12, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and a decrease in the authorized common stock of the Company to 250,000,000. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each 10 shares of the Company’s common stock automatically converted into one share of Company common stock.

 

On November 12, 2013, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved the ’ Reverse Stock Split ’ with an effective date of December 11, 2013. All the share amounts in this annual report on Form 10-K reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

On April 23, 2014, MWIP changed its name to Agritek Holdings, Inc. (“AGTK”) to more properly reflect the Company’s current business model.

 

On May 27, 2014, AVH changed its names to Agritek Venture Holdings, Inc. (“AVHI”).

 

On August 27, 2014, American Hemp Trading Company changed its name to Prohibition Products, Inc. (“PPI”)

 

Unless otherwise noted, references in this Form 10-K to “Seraph,” “Commerce Online, Inc.,” “Cannabis Medical Solutions,” “Mediswipe,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” means Agritek Holdings, Inc.

 

Description of Business

 

Agritek’s business plan is to acquire and lease real estate, then lease or sub-lease the real estate to licensed marijuana operators, including providing complete turnkey growing space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers and dispensary owners. Additionally, the Company offers a variety of services and product lines to the medicinal marijuana sector, including the distribution of hemp- based nutritional products, a line of innovative solutions for electronically processing merchant transactions and recently, the Company began importing and distributing vaporizers and e-cigarettes under the Company’s Mont Blunt brand.

The Company does not grow, harvest, distribute or sell marijuana or any substances that violate the laws of the United States of America.

On March 18, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of 80 acres zoned for agricultural use in Pueblo County, Colorado. The Company plans to lease individual parcels of the 80 acre parcel to fully-licensed and compliant growers and dispensaries within the regulated medicinal and recreational market of Colorado. The Company plans to receive rents and management fees for providing infrastructure, water, electricity, equipment leasing and security services to potential tenants.

 

On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 20 acres of an agricultural farming facility located in South Florida, following the approval of the so-called “Charlotte’s Web” legislation, aimed at decriminalizing low grade marijuana specifically for the use of treating epilepsy and cancer patients. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the Company has a first right of refusal to purchase the property for three years.

 

On July 11, 2014, the Company signed a 10- year lease agreement for 40 acres in Pueblo, Colorado, now bringing total land holdings in the country’s first recreational cannabis state to over 120 acres zoned for its planned agricultural and cultivation facilities located in Pueblo County, Colorado. The lease requires monthly rent payments of $10,000 during the first year and is subject to a 2% annual increase over the life of the lease. The lease also provides rights to 50 acres of certain tenant water rights for $50,000 annually plus cost of approximately $2,400 annually. The water rights ensure the Company’s non-interruption of operations on behalf of new tenants qualified as fully registered and licensed grow and manufacturing operations.

On November 26, 2014, the Company executed a Real Property Purchase Agreement relating to the acquisition of approximately 3.2 acres for $224,000, in the Apex Industrial Park Complex, otherwise known as Nevada’s “Green Zone”. The Company has also entered into a 99-year lease agreement with My Life Organics, Inc. (“My Life”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the lease, My Life will begin paying rent, six months after the Company receives a Certificate of Occupancy and has met all other occupancy conditions, equal to 20% of the gross receipts from the prior month. My Life has been issued a provisional license for cultivation of marijuana to be grown on the Company’s property. The Company also advanced $50,000 to MYLO Construction, LLC (“MYLO”), a newly formed company, to manage the construction of the proposed building. On January 7, 2015, My Life notified the Company that it was terminating the lease with the Company, claiming the Company had defaulted on certain provisions of the lease.

 

On September 12, 2014, the Company completed the asset acquisition of the entire line of products, technology and customers of Dry Vapes Holdings, Inc. (“Dry Vapes”). Dry Vapes is an importer, marketer and distributor of innovative vaporizers and accessories with over 11,000 social network followers. Dry Vapes has historically sold its product under the logo “DV” on eBay and other websites. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, PPI, plans to develop a full line of products under the “Mont Blunt” brand name and market it to brick and mortar smoke shops nationally.

Through December 31, 2014, we operated in one reportable segment, wholesale sales.

 

Chill Drinks

 

On April 13, 2013, the Company entered into a one-year Distribution Agreement with Chill Drinks, LLC (“Chill Drinks”). Chill Drinks has the rights to an energy drink called Chillo Energy Drink (“Chillo”) and a hemp ice tea drink called C+ Swiss Ice Tea (“C+Swiss”). Chillo and C+Swiss are referred to as the Chill Drink Products. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company had the exclusive distribution and placement rights of the Chill Drink Products to medical dispensaries. The agreement expired during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Employees

 

The Company has three full-time employees. The Company relies on several independent contractors and other agreements it has with other companies to provide the services needed. Each management hire has been carefully selected to address immediate needs in particular functional areas, but also with consideration of the Company’s future needs during a period of expected rapid growth and expansion. Value is placed not only on outstanding credentials in specific areas of functional expertise, but also on cross-functionality, a strong knowledge of content acquisition and distribution, along with hands-on experience in scaling operations from initial beta and development stage through successful commercial deployment.

 

Sales and Marketing Strategy


Agritek’s plan is to gain market share within the medicinal and recreational cannabis industry. Agritek intends to accomplish this by providing infrastructure and turnkey solutions to operators and licensees within legal jurisdictions. Agritek canprovide these operations support with the licensing process, site selection, agriculture planning, build out, equipment leasing/financing, security and oversight by operational expertise. The Company additionally has expanded its product offerings to include a proprietary brand of vaporizers and accessories under its wholly owned subsidiary Prohibition Products Inc. and is planning to enter the edibles and nutraceutical markets through third party licenses.

 

Competition

 

There are other companies competing within the recreational cannabis sector including:  

 

Medbox, Inc. (OTCB: MDBX) is seeking to become a dispensary and cultivation infrastructure and licensing specialist, patented technology provider, and partner to the cannabis industry.

 

6
 

Terra Tech Corp (OTCB: TRTC) is integrating the best of the natural world with technology to create sustainable renewable solutions for food production, indoor cultivation, and agricultural research and development.

 

Cannabics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: CNBX) is an emerging drug development company focused on the development and commercialization of advanced drugs, therapies, food supplements and administration routes based on the wide range of active ingredients found in diverse and unique strains of the Cannabis plant.

 

Government Regulation

 

As of March 31, 2015, there are 23 states plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulation that recognize in one form or another legitimate medical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, the federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”), which does not recognize the difference between medical and recreational use of cannabis. Under federal law, cannabis is treated like every other controlled substance, such as cocaine and heroin. The federal government places every controlled substance in a schedule, in principle according to its relative potential for abuse and medicinal value. Under the CSA, cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which means that the federal government views medical cannabis as highly addictive and having no medical value. Pursuant to the CSA, it is unlawful for any person (1) to sell or offer for sale drug paraphernalia; (2) to use the mails or any other facility of interstate commerce to transport drug paraphernalia; or (3) to import or export drug paraphernalia.

The extent to which the regulation of drug paraphernalia under the CSA is applicable to our business and the sale of our product is found in the definition of drug paraphernalia. Drug paraphernalia means any equipment, product, or material of any kind which is primarily intended or designed for use in manufacturing, compounding, converting, concealing, producing processing, preparing, injecting ingesting, inhaling or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled substance, possession of which is unlawful. Our products are primarily designed for general agricultural use.

In an effort to provide guidance to federal law enforcement, the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) has issued Guidance Regarding Marijuana Enforcement to all United States Attorneys in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General David Ogden on October 19, 2009, in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General James Cole on June 29, 2011 and in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General James Cole on August 29, 2013. Each memorandum provides that the DOJ is committed to enforcement of the CSA but the DOJ is also committed to using its limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent and rational way.

The August 29, 2013, memorandum provides updated guidance to federal prosecutors concerning marijuana enforcement in light of state laws legalizing medical and recreational marijuana possession in small amounts. The memorandum sets forth certain enforcement priorities that are important to the federal government:

Distribution of marijuana to children;
Revenue from the sale of marijuana going to criminals;
Diversion of medical marijuana from states where is legal to states where it is not;
Using state authorized marijuana activity as a pretext of other illegal drug activity;
Preventing violence in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana;
Preventing drugged driving;
Growing marijuana on federal property; and
Preventing possession or use of marijuana on federal property.

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 relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. If the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) Guidance Regarding Marijuana Enforcement to all United States Attorneys from Deputy Attorney General David Ogden on October 19, 2009, and from Deputy Attorney General James Cole on June 29, 2011 and again from Deputy Attorney General James Cole on August 29, 2013, were reversed and it was determined that the Company violated the regulation of drug paraphernalia under the CSA, then the Company would need to make appropriate modifications to its products to avoid violation of the CSA. Until Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical marijuana, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis may thus indirectly, adversely and materially affect revenues and profits of the Company. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of congressional activity, judicial holdings and stated federal policy remains uncertain.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.” The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Our business, financial condition and/or results of operation may be materially adversely affected by the nature and impact of these risks. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

Risk Related to Our Company

 

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We incurred a net loss of $2,012,102 and $4,421,662 for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Because of our continued operating losses, negative cash flows from operations and working capital deficit, in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will continue to experience net operating losses in the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loan from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

 

Federal regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of medical marijuana laws and regulations may negatively impact our revenues and profits.

 

Currently, there are 23 states plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulation that recognize in one form or another legitimate medical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, under the Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”), the policy and regulations of the Federal government and its agencies is that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and use of cannabis for personal use is prohibited. Until Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical marijuana, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law, and we may be deemed to be facilitating the selling or distribution of drug paraphernalia in violation of federal law. Active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis may thus indirectly and adversely affect revenues and profits of the Company. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of congressional activity, judicial holdings and stated federal policy remains uncertain.

 

Federal authorities have not focused their resources on such tangential or secondary violations of the Act, nor have they threatened to do so, with respect to the leasing of real property or the sale of equipment that might be used by medical cannabis gardeners, or with respect to any supplies marketed to participants in the emerging medical cannabis industry. We are unaware of such a broad application of the CSA by federal authorities, and we believe that such an attempted application would be unprecedented.

 

8
 

We depend on third party providers for a reliable Internet infrastructure and the failure of these third parties, or the Internet in general, for any reason would significantly impair our ability to conduct our business.

 

We outsource all of our data center facility management to third parties who host the actual servers and provide power and security in multiple data centers in each geographic location. These third party facilities require uninterrupted access to the Internet. If the operation of our servers is interrupted for any reason, including natural disaster, financial insolvency of a third party provider, or malicious electronic intrusion into the data center, our business would be significantly damaged. If either a third party facility failed, or our ability to access the Internet was interfered with because of the failure of Internet equipment in general or we become subject to malicious attacks of computer intruders, our business and operating results will be materially adversely affected.

 

The gathering, transmission, storage and sharing or use of personal information could give rise to liabilities or additional costs of operation as a result of governmental regulation, legal requirements, civil actions or differing views of personal privacy rights.

 

We transmit and plan to store a large volume of personal information in the course of providing our services. Federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of data that we receive from our customers and their users. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with U.S. federal or state privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self-regulatory principles could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Additionally, we may also be contractually liable to indemnify and hold harmless our customers from the costs or consequences of inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of their customers’ personal data which we store or handle as part of providing our services.

 

The interpretation and application of privacy, data protection and data retention laws and regulations are currently unsettled particularly with regard to location-based services, use of customer data to target advertisements and communication with consumers via mobile devices. Such laws may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from country to country and inconsistently with our current data protection policies and practices. Complying with these varying international requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business, operating results or financial condition.

 

As privacy and data protection have become more sensitive issues, we may also become exposed to potential liabilities as a result of differing views on the privacy of personal information. These and other privacy concerns, including security breaches, could adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

In the U.S., we have voluntarily agreed to comply with wireless carrier technological and other requirements for access to their customers’ mobile devices, and also trade association guidelines and codes of conduct addressing the provision of location-based services, delivery of promotional content to mobile devices and tracking of users or devices for the purpose of delivering targeted advertising. We could be adversely affected by changes to these requirements, guidelines and codes, including in ways that are inconsistent with our practices or in conflict with the rules or guidelines in other jurisdictions.

 

9
 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of these material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-An Integrated Framework. We are planning to engage in developing a remediation plan designed to address these material weaknesses. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weaknesses, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results, which could lead to substantial additional costs for accounting and legal fees and shareholder litigation.

 

We may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available or may only be available on unfavorable terms.

 

We monitor our capital adequacy on an ongoing basis. To the extent that our funds are insufficient to fund future operating requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through corporate finance transactions or curtail our growth and reduce our liabilities. Any equity, hybrid or debt financing, if available at all, may be on terms that are not favorable to us. If we cannot obtain adequate capital on favorable terms or at all, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

 

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

Although there is presently a market for our common stock, the price of our common stock may be extremely volatile and investors may not be able to sell their shares at or above their purchase price, or at all. We anticipate that the market may be potentially highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially because of:

 

Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our future business and operating results;

Changes in or failure to meet market expectations;

Fluctuations in stock market price and volume

 

As a public company, we will incur substantial expenses.

 

The U.S. securities laws require, among other things, review, audit, and public reporting of our financial results, business activities, and other matters. Recent SEC regulation, including regulation enacted as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has also substantially increased the accounting, legal, and other costs related to becoming and remaining an SEC reporting company. If we do not have current information about our Company available to market makers, they will not be able to trade our stock. The public company costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders, will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were privately-held. These increased costs may be material and may include the hiring of additional employees and/or the retention of additional advisors and professionals. Our failure to comply with the federal securities laws could result in private or governmental legal action against us and/or our officers and directors, which could have a detrimental effect on our business and finances, the value of our stock, and the ability of stockholders to resell their stock.

 

10
 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

“FINRA” has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. 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. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a shareholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

 

The Company’s common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

The Company’s common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.

 

We have raised capital through the use of convertible debt instruments that causes substantial dilution to our stockholders.

 

Because of the size of our Company and its status as a “penny stock” as well as the current economy and difficulties in companies our size finding adequate sources of funding, we have been forced to raise capital through the issuance of convertible notes and other debt instruments. These debt instruments carry favorable conversion terms to their holders of up to 50% discounts to the market price of our common stock on conversion and in some cases provide for the immediate sale of our securities into the open market. Accordingly, this has caused dilution to our stockholders in 2014 and may for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $938,721 in convertible debt and potential convertible debt outstanding. This convertible debt balance as well as additional convertible debt we incur in the future will cause substantial dilution to our stockholders.

 

Because we are quoted on the OTCQB instead of an exchange or national quotation system, our investors may have a tougher time selling their stock or experience negative volatility on the market price of our common stock.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB. The OTCQB is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that are quoted on the OTCQB as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.

We do not intend to pay dividends.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

 

Our operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you. The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float.

 

The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

 

Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

Office Space

 

Effective on April 1, 2013, the Company entered into a three year agreement to rent approximately 2,500 square feet of office space (the “Office Lease”) in Detroit, Michigan. The monthly rent under this lease was $2,200 per month.

 

Effective August 28, 2013, the Company and the landlord amended the Office Lease allowing the Company to move to a new location in downtown Detroit. The new lease was for 3,657 square feet for monthly rent of $3,047. In November 2013, the Company was notified that the owner of the building (the Company’s landlord) was delinquent in its obligations to the mortgage holder of the building. In January 2014, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s Office Lease in Detroit, Michigan, the Company decided to relocate its administrative offices to West Palm Beach, Florida. Effective April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a rent sharing agreement for the use of 1,300 square feet with a company controlled by the Company’s CFO. The Company has agreed to pay $1,350 per month for the space.

 

In April 2014, the Company entered into a 10-year sublease agreement for the use of up to 7,500 square feet with a Colorado based oncology clinical trial and drug testing company and facility presently doing cancer research and testing for established pharmaceutical companies seeking FDA approval for new drugs. Pursuant to the lease, as amended, the Company has agreed to pay $3,500 per month for the space, and it will be utilized to market, sell and distribute products to Colorado dispensaries.

 

Leased Properties

 

On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into a 10-year lease agreement for 20 acres of an agricultural farming facility located in South Florida following the approval of the so-called “Charlotte’s Web” legislation, aimed at decriminalizing low grade marijuana specifically for the use of treating epilepsy and cancer patients. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the Company has a first right of refusal to purchase the property for three years.

 

On July 11, 2014, the Company signed a 10-year lease agreement for 40 acres in Pueblo, Colorado. The lease requires monthly rent payments of $10,000 during the first year and is subject to a 2% annual increase over the life of the lease. The lease also provides rights to 50 acres of certain tenant water rights for $50,000 annually plus cost of approximately $2,400 annually. The Company paid the $50,000 in July 2014. The water rights ensure the Company’s non-interruption of operations on behalf of new tenants qualified as fully registered and licensed grow and manufacturing operations.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

On March 2, 2015, the Company, the Company’s CEO at the time and the Company’s CFO were named in a civil complaint filed by Erick Rodriguez in the District Court in Clark County, Nevada. The complaint alleges that Mr. Rodriguez never received 250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock that were initially approved by the Board of Directors in 2012. Mr. Rodriguez resigned in June 2013, and the Company cancelled the issuance of the shares to Mr. Rodriguez on the Company’s books and records.

 

On March 20, 2015, Montblanc-Simplo GmbH (“Montblanc”) filed a Combined Notice of Opposition and Petition for Cancellation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Montblanc believes that it will be damaged by the registration of the mark MONT BLUNT filed on April 26, 2014 in Application Serial No. 86/263,737 (the “Application”) and by the previously issued U.S. Registration NO. 4,608,789 (the “Registration”). The Company believes that the logos and product of Mont Blunt pursuant to the Registration and Application significantly differ from Montblanc and accordingly does not believe it subjects Montblanc to any damages.

Commission and licensing fees of $8,722 were incurred for year ended December 31, 2014 compared to commissions of $27,671 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Also included in 2013 were fees of $31,200 pursuant to the ACS Agreement. The decrease in the 2014 period is primarily due to the Company and ACS terminating their agreement in April 2013.

 

Advertising and promotional expenses increased to $72,091 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $15,077 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase of $57,014 was primarily due to the design, launch and marketing of the Company’s Mont Blunt brand.

 

Rent and occupancy costs were $76,235 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $37,195 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was due primarily to the Company entering into sublease agreement for the use of up to 7,500 square feet of office space that will be utilized to market, sell and distribute products to Colorado dispensaries.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

 

As such, in accordance with the use of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, our actual realized results may differ from management’s initial estimates as reported. A summary of significant accounting policies are detailed in notes to the financial statements which are an integral component of this annual report on Form 10-K.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”). SAB 104 clarifies application of generally accepted accounting principles related to revenue transactions. The Company also follows the guidance in EITF Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (“EITF Issue No. 00-21”), in arrangements with multiple deliverables.

 

The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which products are shipped or commissions were earned.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its customers upon the shipment of products. The allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectibility is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term.

 

21
 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts.

 

Investment of Non-Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s investment in non-marketable securities consist of cash investments in a less than 10% interest in privately held companies that provide merchant processing services.

 

Impartment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed

 

We evaluate long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives in accordance with ASC 350-30 and ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), and accordingly, management reviews our long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be realized from the asset is less than its carrying amount. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of the assets and accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. Our most significant estimates and judgments relating to the long-lived asset impairments include the timing and amount of projected future cash flows.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.

 

The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

22
 

 

Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments. The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities, if any, outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2014 there were warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock, the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into 20,860,466 shares of common stock. These amounts are not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

A review and evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of December 31, 2014 disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of our assets;
Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2014 as described below.

 

We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

 

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

 

Lack of Audit Committee: We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

 

24
 

We are committed to improving the internal controls and will (1) consider to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing additional outside directors and audit committee members in the future.

 

We have discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

No director, executive officer, significant employee or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

26
 

Code of Ethics

 

We adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Management to promote honest and ethical conduct and to deter wrongdoing. This Code applies to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and other employees performing similar functions. The obligations of the Code of Ethics supplement, but do not replace, any other code of conduct or ethics policy applicable to our employees generally.

 

Under the Code of Ethics, all members of the senior financial management shall:

 

Act honestly and ethically in the performance of their duties at our company,
Avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships,
Provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications by our company,
Comply with rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments and other private and public regulatory agencies that effect the conduct of our business and our financial reporting,
Act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing the member’s independent judgment to be subordinated
Respect the confidentiality of information in the course of work, except when authorized or legally obtained to disclosure such information,
Share knowledge and maintain skills relevant to carrying out the member’s duties within our company,
Proactively promote ethical behavior as a responsible partner among peers and colleagues in the work environment and community,

Corporate Governance

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, there were no material changes to procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

 

We currently have no standing audit, nominating or compensation committees of our board of directors. Our entire board of directors currently performs these functions. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our officers and directors. Because we do not have any independent directors, our officers and directors believe that the establishment of committees of the Board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.

 

Director Independence

 

None of the members of our Board of Directors qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our Board has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

 

27
 

In performing the functions of the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board performs several functions. Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews and approves the retention of independent auditors for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors; reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement of such controls; reviews the financial statements to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and discusses with the Company’s management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of our quarterly financial statements.

 

Our board as a whole considers executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation. Our board as a whole oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs, reviews and approves corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers, if any, and reviews the compensation and other terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers. Our board also administers our equity incentive and stock option plans, if any.

 

Each of our directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director, whether recommended by shareholders or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience and demonstrated character and judgment.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon a review of such reports, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, each director, executive officer and 10% stockholder made timely filings of all reports required by Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

 

The following tables set forth all of the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to: (i) each individual serving as our principal executive officer; and (ii) each other individual that served as an executive officer at the conclusion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and who received in excess of $100,000.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

 

Management fees

 

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company has agreed to annual compensation of $150,000 for the CEO and $96,000 for the CFO. For 2013, the Company and the CFO agreed that $3,000 per month will be paid in cash and $5,000 per month will be paid in restricted shares of common stock. For 2014, the Company and the CFO agreed that up to $5,000 per month can be paid in cash and the balance in restricted shares of common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company expensed $246,000 and $249,500 included in Administrative and Management Fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, included herein. In June 2013, Mr. Friedman and the Company, agreed to exchange 3,033,500 shares of common stock in partial consideration for the issuance of 450,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. The Company reduced accrued compensation of Mr. Friedman by $100,022 and recognized stock compensation expense of $2,821,275. As of December 31, 2014, the Company owed the CEO $63,332 and the CFO $1,549 included in deferred compensation on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

On January 13, 2014, the Company issued 545,454 shares of common stock to Venture Equity, LLC, (“Venture Equity”) a Florida limited liability Company, controlled by the Company’s CFO, upon the conversion of $60,000 of accrued management fees.

On December 31, 2014, the Company issued 444,444 shares of restricted common stock to Venture Equity, upon the conversion of $40,000 of accrued and unpaid management fees as of December 31, 2014 the date on which the board of directors approved the issuance.

On December 31, 2014, the Company issued 17,226,778 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Friedman upon the conversion of 450,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock.

 

On December 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,230,484 shares of restricted common stock to Venture Equity upon the conversion of 50,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock.

 

In August 2012, the Company issued 250,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock to the President, valued at $177,667 and recorded the amount as deferred stock compensation to be amortized over one year. As of June 13, 2013, the Company accepted the resignation of Mr. Rodriguez as an Officer and Director of the Company. The Company has cancelled the Preferred Stock and returned the shares to the treasury of the Company for failure to complete the Employment Agreement and SweetMD transaction. Therefore, the Company stopped amortizing the deferred compensation during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and recorded an entry to eliminate the remaining unamortized compensation of $29,611 with the corresponding entry to additional paid in capital. For the years ended December 31, 2013, the Company amortized $81,431.

 

Agreements with prior management

 

In December 2011 the Company issued a $50,000 convertible promissory note (see Note 6) as part of a guaranty fee due to a Company that is affiliated with a former officer of the Company. Terms of the note include an eight percent per annum interest rate and the note matured on the one year anniversary on December 20, 2012. Additionally, the holder of the Note has the right to convert the note into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock within five (5) days of the conversion. On March 31, 2013, the Company and the noteholder elected to convert the remaining balance of the note of $32,000 and accrued and unpaid interest of $6,060 into 369,928 shares of common stock.

 

Also in December 2011, the Company agreed to pay an additional $50,000 in common stock, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the December 31, 2014 and 2013 balance sheets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Agritek Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Agritek Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and 2013 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. Agritek Holdings, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Agritek Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and 2013 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.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses, has incurred negative cash flows from operations and has a working capital deficit. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 11 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AGRITEK HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 - Organization

 

Business

 

Agritek Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Agritek”), formerly known as Mediswipe, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Agritek Venture Holdings, Inc. (“AVHI”), acquires and leases real estate to licensed marijuana operators, including providing complete turnkey growing space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers and dispensary owners. Additionally, the Company offers a variety of services and product lines to the medicinal marijuana sector including the distribution of hemp based nutritional products, a line of innovative solutions for electronically processing merchant transactions and recently, the Company began importing and distributing vaporizers and e-cigarettes under the Company's Mont Blunt brand.

The Company does not grow, harvest, distribute or sell marijuana or any substances that violate the laws of the United States of America.

On March 18, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of 80 acres zoned for agricultural use in Pueblo County, Colorado. The Company plans to lease individual parcels of the 80 acre parcel to fully-licensed and compliant growers and dispensaries within the regulated medicinal and recreational market of Colorado. The Company plans include receiving rents and management fees for providing infrastructure, water, electricity, equipment leasing and security services. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not realized any revenue from the property.

 

On April 28, 2014, the Company executed and closed a lease agreement for 20 acres of an agricultural farming facility located in South Florida following the approval of the so-called “Charlotte’s Web” legislation, aimed at decriminalizing low grade marijuana specifically for the use of treating epilepsy and cancer patients.  Pursuant to the lease agreement, through November 1, 2014, the Company had an option to purchase the land for $1,100,000, which it did not exercise, and maintains a first right of refusal to purchase the property for three years. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not realized any revenue from the property.

 

On July 11, 2014, the Company signed a ten year lease agreement for 40 acres in Pueblo, Colorado, now bringing total land holdings in the country's first recreational cannabis state to over 120 acres zoned for its planned agricultural and cultivation facilities located in Pueblo County, Colorado. The lease requires monthly rent payments of $10,000 during the first year and is subject to a 2% annual increase over the life of the lease. The lease also provides rights to 50 acres of certain tenant water rights for $50,000 annually plus cost of approximately $2,400 annually. The water rights ensure the Company’s non-interruption of operations on behalf of new tenants qualified as fully registered and licensed grow and manufacturing operations. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not realized any revenue from the property.

 

On July 26, 2014, the Company executed a Real Property Purchase Agreement to acquire approximately 3.2 acres for $224,000, in the Apex Industrial Park Complex, otherwise known as Nevada “Green Zone”. The Company had also entered into a 99 year lease agreement with My Life Organics, Inc. (“My Life”). My Life has been issued a provisional license for cultivation of marijuana to be grown on the Company’s property. The closing of the property occurred in November 2014 and the Company also advanced $50,000 to MYLO Construction, LLC (“MYLO”), a newly formed Company to manage the construction of the proposed building. The Company expensed the $50,000 advanced to MYLO during the year ended December 31, 2014. On January 7, 2015, My Life notified the Company that it was terminating the lease with the Company, claiming the Company has defaulted on certain provisions of the lease.

 

On September 12, 2014, the Company completed the asset acquisition of the entire line of products, technology and customers of Dry Vapes Holdings, Inc. (“Dry Vapes”). Dry Vapes is an importer, marketer and distributor of innovative vaporizers and accessories with over 11,000 social network followers. Dry Vapes has historically sold its’ product under the logo DV on eBay and other websites. The Company, under its’ wholly owned subsidiary Prohibition Products, Inc. (“PPI”) plans to develop a full line of products under the "Mont Blunt" brand name and market it to brick and mortar smoke shops nationally. See Note 4.

 

The Company is continuing its focus to acquire real property through purchase or lease, and subsequently lease the real estate to licensed marijuana and/or dispensary owners.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Account Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of Agritek and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries AVHI and PPI. PPI, a Florida corporation, was originally formed on July 1, 2013 as The American Hemp Trading Company, Inc. (“AHTC”) and on August 27, 2014, AHTC changed its’ name to PPI. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its customers upon the shipment of products. The allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term. As of December 31, 2014, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $43,408.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through the maturities of the related debt.

 

Investment of Non-Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s investment in non-marketable securities consist of cash investments in a less than 10% interest in privately held companies that provide merchant processing services.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and except for land, depreciation is provided by use of accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

 

Office equipment, furniture and vehicles           5 years

 

F-8
 

The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

   2014  2013
Land  $354,269   $—   
Furniture and Equipment   13,829    4,060 
Accumulated depreciation   (1,976)   (187)
Balance  $366,122   $3,873 

 

Depreciation expense of $1,789 and $187 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which products are shipped or commissions are earned. No revenue has been recognized from leasing arrangements to date.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.

 

The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

F-9
 

Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

 

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, note payable and convertible debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.  The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.

 

Uncertain tax positions are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2005 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities, if any, outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2014 there were warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into 20,860,466 shares of common stock These amounts are not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.

 

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company recorded stock and warrant based compensation of $379,000 and $118,000, respectively. (See Notes 7 and 8).

 

F-10
 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Advertising

 

The Company records advertising costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, advertising expense was $72,091 and $15,077, respectively.

 

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Note 4 - Acquisition

 

On September 12, 2014, the Company completed the asset acquisition of the entire line of products, technology and customers of Dry Vapes Holdings, Inc. (“Dry Vapes”). Dry Vapes is an importer, marketer and distributor of innovative vaporizers and accessories with over 11,000 social network followers. Dry Vapes has historically sold its’ product under the logo DV on eBay and other websites. The Company plans to develop a full line of products under the "Mont Blunt" brand name and market it to Brick and Mortar smoke shops nationally in the upcoming months. The company will operate the business under PPI.

 

The Company recorded the acquisition using the acquisition method, which requires the Company to record the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (if any) at their acquisition date fair values and record any excess of the consideration given, including liabilities assumed (if any) over the fair value of the assets acquired as goodwill. The acquired assets consisted solely of inventory. The Company determined the fair value of the inventory acquired on a cost basis.

 

The fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, and the resulting amount of goodwill was determined as follows:

 

Common stock 1,500,000 shares at $0.12 per share  $180,000 
Cash   20,000 
Total consideration   200,000 
Fair value of inventory acquired   (7,151)
Goodwill  $192,849 

 

Note 5 – Sales Concentration and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash

 

Financial   instruments   that   potentially   subject   the   Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insured institution insures up to $250,000 on account balances. The company maintains its’ cash balance at a large financial institution and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Note 6 – Convertible Debt and Note Payable

 

Convertible Debt

 

On January 2, 2013, February 11, 2013, April 10, 2013, July 29, 2013 and October 16, 2013, the Company entered convertible note agreements (the “2013 Notes”) with Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”) for $37,500, $27,500, $27,500, $65,000 and $70,000, respectively. We received net proceeds of $214,000 from the 2013 Notes after debt issuance costs of $13,500 paid for lender legal fees. These debt issuance costs have been amortized over the earlier of the terms of the Note or any redemptions and accordingly $4,511 and $8,989 has been expensed as debt issuance costs (included in interest expense) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There are no remaining debt issuance costs to be amortized.

 

Among other terms the 2013 Notes were due nine months from their issuance date, bearing interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or shares at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of common stock equal to 50% of the average of the lowest three trading prices (as defined in the note agreements) per share of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the 2013 Notes, the Company was required to pay interest at 22% per annum and the holders could at their option declare a Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the 2013 Notes provided for adjustments for dividends payable other than in shares of common stock, for reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock for another security or securities of the Company or pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets, where there is a change in control of the Company.

 

The Company determined that the conversion feature of the 2013 Notes represented an embedded derivative since the Notes were convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the 2013 Notes were not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments being recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to each Note. Such discount was being amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liability for derivative contracts were recorded in other income or expenses in the consolidated statements of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The embedded feature included in the 2013 Notes resulted in an initial debt discount of $227,500 and an initial loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $35,029 for a derivative liability initial balance of $262,529.

 

F-12
 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued 760,375 shares of common stock in satisfaction of $135,000 of the 2013 Notes and $5,400 of accrued and unpaid interest. The shares were issued at approximately $0.18 per share. The fair value of the derivative liability on the dates of conversion totaling $175,575 was reclassified to paid-in-capital during the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the balance of the Asher Notes was carried at $53,463, net of unamortized discounts of $81,537. As of December 31, 2014, the 2013 Asher Notes have been fully satisfied.

 

On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC ("Typenex"), for the sale of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of up to $667,500 (which includes Typenex legal expenses in the amount of $7,500 and a $60,000 original issue discount) (the “2013 Company Note”) for a purchase price of $600,000, consisting of $100,000 paid in cash at closing on May 21, 2013 (the “Initial Cash Purchase Price”) and five secured promissory notes, aggregating $500,000 (the “Investor Notes”), bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Three of the Investor Notes aggregating $300,000 were funded in 2013 and the two remaining Investor Notes of $100,000 each were funded in January 2014.

  

The 2013 Company Note included interest at the rate of 8% per annum, due in four equal monthly installments (the “Redemption Price”) beginning on the nine month anniversary of the initial funding. All interest and principal was to be repaid on February 21, 2014. The 2013 Company Note was convertible into common stock, at Typenex’s option, at a price of $0.055 per share. In the event the Company elected to prepay all or any portion of the 2013 Company Note, the Company was required to pay to Typenex an amount in cash equal to 125% multiplied by the sum of all principal, interest and any other amounts owing. Beginning on the date that is nine (9) months after the later of (i) the Issuance Date, and (ii) the date the Initial Cash Purchase Price is paid to the Company (the “Initial Installment Date”), and on each applicable Installment Date thereafter, the Company was to pay the Holder of this Note the applicable Installment Amount due on such date. Payments of the Installment Amount may be made (a) in cash (a “Company Redemption”), (b) by converting such Installment Amount into shares of Common Stock (a “Company Conversion”), or (c) by any combination of a Company Conversion and a Company Redemption so long as the entire amount of such Installment Amount due shall be converted and/or redeemed by the Company on the applicable Installment Date.

 

At any time prior to the payment of the applicable Redemption Price by the Company, the Holder had the option, in lieu of redemption, to cancel the Event of Default Redemption Notice by written notice to the Company (the “Redemption Cancellation Notice”).

Note 9 – Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Income tax expense for 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

In November 2013, the Company was notified that the owner of the building (the Company’s landlord) was delinquent in their obligations to the mortgage holder of the building. In January 2014, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s Office Lease in Detroit, Michigan, the Company decided to relocate its administrative offices to West Palm Beach, Florida.

The Company has agreed to pay $1,350 per month for the space.

 

In April 2014, the Company entered into a ten year sublease agreement for the use of up to 7,500 square feet with a Colorado based oncology clinical trial and drug testing company and facility presently doing cancer research and testing for established pharmaceutical companies seeking FDA approval for new drugs.

The Company prepaid the first year lease amount of $24,000 and has recorded $25,496 of expense (included in leased property expenses) for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

On July 11, 2014, the Company signed a ten year lease agreement for an additional 40 acres in Pueblo, Colorado. The lease requires monthly rent payments of $10,000 during the first year and is subject to a 2% annual increase over the life of the lease. The lease also provides rights to 50 acres of certain tenant water rights for $50,000 annually plus cost of approximately $2,400 annually. The Company paid the $50,000 in July 2014. The water rights ensure the Company’s non-interruption of operations on behalf of new tenants qualified as fully registered and licensed grow and manufacturing operations. The Company has recorded $77,667 of expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 (included in leased property expenses) related to the land and water rights.
