This prospectus relates to the resale of 5,917,442 shares

right” under an amended and restated investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated August 4, 2016, that
we entered into with Tangiers. The Investment Agreement permits us to “put” up to five million dollars ($5,000,000)
in shares of our common stock to Tangiers over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months or until $5,000,000 of such shares have
been “put.”
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the
shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying
prices or at negotiated prices.
The total amount of shares of common stock which may be sold pursuant to this
prospectus would constitute approximately 32.77% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock held by

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The Offering
This prospectus relates to the resale of 5,917,442 shares
of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, including (i) 5,829,842 shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”),
shares issuable to Tangiers Global, LLC (defined below) and, (ii) 87,600 shares previously issued to an individual shareholder.
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 5,829,842
shares of the Common Shares, issuable to Tangiers Global, LLC (“Tangiers”), a selling stockholder pursuant to a “put
right” under an amended and restated investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated August 4, 2016, that
we entered into with Tangiers. The Investment Agreement permits us to “put” up to five million dollars ($5,000,000)
in shares of our common stock to Tangiers over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months or until $5,000,000 of such shares have
been “put.”
Our Business
American Cannabis Company, Inc. and
subsidiary company, Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc., doing business as American Cannabis Consulting (“American Cannabis
Consulting”), (collectively “the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”)
are based in Denver, Colorado and operate a fully-integrated business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses
operating in the regulated cannabis industry in states and countries where cannabis is regulated and/or has been de-criminalized
for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use. We provide advisory and consulting services specific to this industry,
design industry-specific products and facilities, and manage a strategic group partnership that offers both exclusive and non-exclusive
customer products commonly used in the industry.
We are a publicly listed company quoted
on the OTCQB under the symbol “AMMJ”.
We were incorporated in the State of
Delaware on September 24, 2001 under the name Naturewell, Inc. to develop and market clinical diagnostic products using immunology
and molecular biologic technologies.
On March 13, 2013, Naturewell, Inc.
completed a merger transaction whereby it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Brazil Interactive Media,
Inc. (“BIMI”), which operated as a Brazilian interactive television company and television production company through
its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary company, EsoTV Brasil Promoção Publicidade Licenciamento e Comércio
Ltda. (“EsoTV”). Naturewell’s Certificate of Incorporation were amended to reflect a new name: Brazil Interactive
Media, Inc.
On May 15, 2014, BIMI entered into
a merger agreement (“the Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding American Cannabis Consulting
while simultaneously disposing of 100% of the issued share capital EsoTV (“the Separation Agreement”). Both the merger
with American Cannabis Consulting and disposal of EsoTV were completed on September 29, 2014. BIMI subsequently amended its Certificate
of Incorporation to change its name to American Cannabis Company, Inc. On October 10, 2014, American Cannabis Company, Inc. changed
its stock symbol from BIMI to AMMJ.
Immediately following the completion
of the Merger Agreement, former shareholders of American Cannabis Consulting owned 31,710,628 shares of American Cannabis Company,
Inc.’s common stock, representing 78.4% of American Cannabis Company, Inc.’s issued and outstanding share capital.
Accordingly, American Cannabis Consulting was deemed to have been the accounting acquirer in a Reverse Merger which resulted in
a recapitalization of the Company. Consequently, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the results
of American Cannabis Consulting since Inception (March 5, 2013) and of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI) since September
29, 2014.
Government Regulation of Cannabis
The United States federal government regulates drugs through
the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis
is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as highly addictive and having no medical value. The United States Federal
Drug Administration has not approved the sale of marijuana for any medical application. Doctors may not prescribe cannabis for
medical use under federal law, however, they can recommend its use under the First Amendment. In 2010, the United States Veterans
Affairs Department clarified that veterans using medicinal cannabis will not be denied services or other medications that are
denied to those using illegal drugs.
As of June 27, 2016, 25 states,
the District of Columbia and Guam allow their citizens to use medical cannabis through de-criminalization. Voters in the States
of Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and Alaska have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use; Oregon’s law took effect
on July 1, 2015; Alaska’s law was effective February 24, 2015; both the Colorado and Washington programs were enacted as
of December 31, 2014. In 2016, Nevada, California, Vermont, Arizona, Connecticut and Michigan have legislative bills in various
stages of progress concerning cannabis legalization.
Additionally, there are active efforts
by many advocacy groups seeking to expand the legalization of cannabis, including, but not limited to the Marijuana Policy Project,
a leading advocate for major state-level marijuana policy reforms that have resulted in successful efforts to pass 10 of the 15
most recent state medical marijuana laws (in Arizona, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, and Vermont) and five of the seven most recent decriminalization laws (in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, and Vermont).
These advocacy groups and others
are devoting significant resources to ending prohibition in 12 more states by 2019, including in the States of Arizona, California, Massachusetts,
and Nevada, as well as lobbying and building coalitions to regulate marijuana in several states that do not have the option of voter initiatives, including Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Texas, and Vermont,
and they are also advocating for medical marijuana-related bills in several other states, including Georgia, Texas, and West
Virginia.
These noted state laws, both proposed
and enacted, are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a
national level. However, on August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum providing that where states and
local governments enact laws authorizing cannabis-related use, and implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems,
the federal government will rely upon states and local enforcement agencies to address cannabis activity through the enforcement
of their own state and local narcotics laws. The memorandum further stated that the U.S Justice Department’s limited investigative
and prosecutorial resources will be focused on eight priorities to prevent unintended consequences of the state laws, including
distribution of cannabis to minors, preventing the distribution of cannabis from states where it is legal to states where it is
not, and preventing money laundering, violence and drugged driving.
On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Department
of Justice issued another memorandum with regard to its position and enforcement protocol with regard to Indian Country, stating
that the eight priorities in the previous federal memo would guide the United States Attorneys' cannabis enforcement efforts in
Indian Country. On December 16, 2014, as a component of the federal spending bill, the Obama administration enacted regulations
that prohibits the Department of Justice from using funds to prosecute state-based legal medical cannabis programs.
As of September 2, 2016, in addition
to the 25 states, the District of Columbia and Guam which had already passed legislation allowing citizens to use cannabis in
some form, an additional 13 states had pending legislation or ballot measures to legalize medical cannabis.

Risks Related to Our Business
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law
Marijuana is a Schedule
I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in states that have legalized the use of marijuana, its sale and
use remain violations of federal law. The illegality of marijuana under federal law preempts state laws that legalize its use.
Therefore, strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in our inability to proceed with our business
plan.
Our business is dependent on laws pertaining to the
marijuana industry
The United States federal government regulates drugs through
the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis
is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as highly addictive and having no medical value. The United States Federal
Drug Administration has not approved the sale of marijuana for any medical application. Doctors may not prescribe cannabis for
medical use under federal law, however they can recommend its use under the First Amendment. In 2010, the United States Veterans
Affairs Department clarified that veterans using medicinal cannabis will not be denied services or other medications that are
denied to those using illegal drugs.
As of September 2, 2016, 25 states,
the District of Columbia and Guam allow their citizens to use medical cannabis through de-criminalization. Voters in the States
of Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and Alaska have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use; Oregon’s law took effect
on July 1, 2015; Alaska’s law was effective February 24, 2015; both the Colorado and Washington programs were enacted as
of December 31, 2014. In 2016, Nevada, California, Vermont, Arizona, Connecticut and Michigan have legislative bills in various
stages of progress concerning cannabis legalization.
These noted state laws, both proposed
and enacted, are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a
national level. However, on August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum providing that where states and
local governments enact laws authorizing cannabis-related use, and implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems,
the federal government will rely upon states and local enforcement agencies to address cannabis activity through the enforcement
of their own state and local narcotics laws. The memorandum further stated that the U.S Justice Department’s limited investigative
and prosecutorial resources will be focused on eight priorities to prevent unintended consequences of the state laws, including
distribution of cannabis to minors, preventing the distribution of cannabis from states where it is legal to states where it is
not, and preventing money laundering, violence and drugged driving.
On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Department
of Justice issued another memorandum with regard to its position and enforcement protocol with regard to Indian Country, stating
that the eight priorities in the previous federal memo would guide the United States Attorneys' cannabis enforcement efforts in
Indian Country. On December 16, 2014, as a component of the federal spending bill, the Obama administration enacted regulations
that prohibit the Department of Justice from using funds to prosecute state-based legal medical cannabis programs.
Laws and regulations
affecting our industry are constantly changing
The constant evolution
of laws and regulations affecting the marijuana industry could detrimentally affect our operations. Local, state and federal medical
marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to changing interpretations. These changes may require us to incur
substantial costs associated with legal and compliance fees and ultimately require us to alter our business plan. Furthermore,
violations of these laws, or alleged violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations.
In addition, we cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, and it is possible
that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business.
Risk of government action
While we will use our best efforts to comply with all laws,
including federal, state and local laws and regulations, there is a possibility that governmental action to enforce any alleged
violations may result in legal fees and damage awards that would adversely affect us.
Because our business is dependent upon continued market
acceptance by consumers, any negative trends will adversely affect our business operations
We are substantially dependent on continued market acceptance
and proliferation of consumers of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana. We believe that as marijuana becomes more accepted
the stigma associated with marijuana use will diminish and as a result consumer demand will continue to grow. While we believe
that the market and opportunity in the marijuana space continues to grow, we cannot predict the future growth rate and size of
the market. Any negative outlook on the marijuana industry may adversely affect our business operations.
In addition, it is believed by many that large well-funded
businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the cannabis industry. We believe that the pharmaceutical industry clearly
does not want to cede control of any product that could generate significant revenue. For example, medical marijuana will likely
adversely impact the existing market for the current "marijuana pill" Marinol, sold by the mainstream pharmaceutical
industry, should marijuana displace other drugs or encroach upon the pharmaceutical industry's products. The pharmaceutical industry
is well funded with a strong and experienced lobby that eclipses the funding of the medical marijuana movement. Any inroads the
pharmaceutical could make in halting the impending cannabis industry could have a detrimental impact on our business.
FDA Regulation of marijuana and the possible registration
of facilities where medical marijuana is grown could negatively affect the cannabis industry which would directly affect our financial
condition
Should the federal government legalize marijuana for medical
use, it is possible that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") would seek to regulate it under the Food, Drug
and Cosmetics Act of 1938. Additionally, the FDA may issue rules and regulations including cGMPs (certified good manufacturing
practices) related to the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of medical marijuana. Clinical trials may be needed to
verify efficacy and safety. It is also possible that the FDA would require that facilities where medical marijuana is grown be
registered with the FDA and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. In the event that some or all of these regulations
are imposed, we do not know what the impact would be on the medical marijuana industry and what costs, requirements and possible
prohibitions may be enforced. If we are unable to comply with the regulations and/or registration as prescribed by the FDA, we
may be unable to continue to operate our business.
Our clients may have difficulty accessing the service
of banks
On February 14, 2014, the U.S. government issued rules allowing
banks to legally provide financial services to state-licensed marijuana businesses. A memorandum issued by the Justice Department
to federal prosecutors re-iterated guidance previously given, this time to the financial industry that banks can do business with
legal marijuana businesses and "may not" be prosecuted. The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
(FinCEN) issued guidelines to banks that "it is possible to provide financial services"" to state-licensed marijuana
businesses and still be in compliance with federal anti-money laundering laws. The guidance falls short of the explicit legal
authorization that banking industry officials had pushed the government to provide and to date, it is not clear if any banks have
relied on the guidance and taken on legal marijuana companies as clients. The aforementioned policy may be administration dependent
and a change in presidential administrations may cause a policy reversal and retraction of current policies, wherein legal marijuana
businesses may not have access to the banking industry. Also, the inability of potential clients in our target market to open
accounts and otherwise use the service of banks may make it difficult for them to contract with us.
Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we
may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional
risk and financial liability
Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as general liability, and directors
and officer’s insurance, is more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because we are service providers to companies
in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost
will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent us from entering into certain business
sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.
Risks Related to the Company
Uncertainty of profitability
Our business strategy may result in increased volatility
of revenues and earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of products and services at a time, our overall success will
depend on a limited number of products and services, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on
the products and services offered.
Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected
by economic conditions and changes in the market for medical and recreational marijuana. Our business is also subject to general
economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.
Because of the anticipated nature of the products and services
that we will attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate
in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:
|
|
·
|
Our ability to raise
sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate sufficient revenues to cover expenses.
|
·
|
Our ability to source
strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns.
|
·
|
Our ability to manage
our capital and liquidity requirements based on changing market conditions generally and changes in the developing legal medical
marijuana and recreational marijuana industries.
|
·
|
The acceptance of
the terms and conditions of our licenses and/or the acceptance of our royalties and fees.
|
·
|
The amount and timing
of operating and other costs and expenses.
|
·
|
The nature and extent
of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations.
|
·
|
Adverse changes in
the national and regional economies in which we will participate, including, but not limited to, changes in our performance,
capital availability, and market demand.
|
·
|
Adverse changes in
the projects in which we plan to invest which result from factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, a change
in circumstances, capacity and economic impacts.
|
·
|
Adverse developments
in the efforts to legalize marijuana or increased federal enforcement.
|
·
|
Changes in laws, regulations,
accounting, taxation, and other requirements affecting our operations and business.
|
·
|
Our operating results
may fluctuate from year to year due to the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be
significant.
|
Management of growth will be necessary for us to be
competitive
Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability
to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire
skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment.
Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand
will inhibit our profitability goals.
We are entering a potentially highly competitive market
The markets for ancillary businesses in the medical marijuana
and recreational marijuana industries are competitive and evolving. In particular, we face strong competition from larger companies
that may be in the process of offering similar products and services to ours. Many of our current and potential competitors have
longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger client bases than we have
(or may be expected to have).
Given the rapid changes affecting the global, national, and
regional economies generally and the medical marijuana and recreational marijuana industries, in particular, we may not be able
to create and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with any
changes in its markets, especially with legal and regulatory changes. Our success will depend on our ability to respond to, among
other things, changes in the economy, market conditions, and competitive pressures. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond
adequately to such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, liquidity, cash
flow and our operational performance.
There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment
in our securities
The foregoing risk factors are
not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in our securities. Additional risks will likely be
experienced that are not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe this the information provided
herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities,
you should read this entire prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment
in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite
period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind
with respect to the likelihood of the success or the business of the Company, the value of our securities, any financial returns
that may be generated or any tax benefits or consequences that may result from an investment in the Company.
The Company’s failure to continue to attract, train,
or retain highly qualified personnel could harm the Company’s business.
The Company’s success also
depends on the Company’s ability to attract, train, and retain qualified personnel, specifically those with management and
product development skills. In particular, the Company must hire additional skilled personnel to further the Company’s research
and development efforts. Competition for such personnel is intense. If the Company does not succeed in attracting new personnel
or retaining and motivating the Company’s current personnel, the Company’s business could be harmed.
The Company may be unable to
respond to the rapid technological change in its industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely
affect its business
Rapidly changing technologies,
frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize the Company’s market. The continued
growth of the Internet and intense competition in the Company’s industry exacerbate these market characteristics. The Company’s
future success will depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features
and reliability of its products and services. The Company may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful
development, introduction or marketing of its products and services. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements
of its current and prospective users and must achieve significant market acceptance. The Company could also incur substantial costs
if it needs to modify its products and services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.
The Company also expects that
new competitors may introduce products, systems or services that are directly or indirectly competitive with the Company. These
competitors may succeed in developing products, systems and services that have greater functionality or are less costly than the
Company’s products, systems and services, and may be more successful in marketing such products, systems and services. Technological
changes have lowered the cost of operating communications and computer systems and purchasing software. These changes reduce the
Company’s cost of providing services but also facilitate increased competition by reducing competitors’ costs in providing
similar services. This competition could increase price competition and reduce anticipated profit margins.
The Company’s services are new and its industry
is evolving.
You should consider the Company’s
prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development,
particularly companies in the rapidly evolving legal cannabis industry. To be successful in this industry, the Company must, among
other things:
|
●
|
develop
and introduce functional and attractive service offerings;
|
|
●
|
attract
and maintain a large base of consumers;
|
|
●
|
increase
awareness of the Company brand and develop consumer loyalty;
|
|
●
|
establish
and maintain strategic relationships with distribution partners and service providers;
|
|
●
|
respond
to competitive and technological developments;
|
|
●
|
build
an operations structure to support the Company business; and
|
|
●
|
attract,
retain and motivate qualified personnel.
|
The Company cannot guarantee that
it will succeed in achieving these goals, and its failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects,
financial condition and operating results.
Some of the Company’s products
and services are new and are only in early stages of commercialization. The Company is not certain that these products and services
will function as anticipated or be desirable to its intended market. Also, some of the Company’s products and services may
have limited functionalities, which may limit their appeal to consumers and put the Company at a competitive disadvantage. If the
Company’s current or future products and services fail to function properly or if the Company does not achieve or sustain
market acceptance, it could lose customers or could be subject to claims which could have a material adverse effect on the Company
business, financial condition and operating results.
As is typical in a new and rapidly
evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty
and risk. Because the market for the Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this
market and its growth rate, if any. The Company cannot guarantee that a market for the Company will develop or that demand for
Company services will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated
with competitors, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.
If we fail to establish and
maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud.
Any ability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the future
trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal control is
necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent
fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our
business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies
may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital.
We currently have insufficient
written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP
and SEC disclosure requirements. Additionally, there is a lack of formal process and timeline for closing the books and records
at the end of each reporting period and such weaknesses restrict the Company’s ability to timely gather, analyze and report
information relative to the financial statements.
Because of the Company’s
limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing. There is inadequate segregation of duties consistent
with control objectives. Our Company’s management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where
limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff. Currently,
the Company is unable to hire additional staff to facilitate greater segregation of duties but will reassess its capabilities after
completion of the Offering.
If
we fail to protect our intellectual property, our business could be adversely affected
Our viability will
depend, in part, on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology and brands to distinguish our
products and services from our competitors' products and services. We rely on patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets,
and confidentiality provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property.
Any infringement or
misappropriation of our intellectual property could damage its value and limit our ability to compete. We may have to engage in
litigation to protect the rights to our intellectual property, which could result in significant litigation costs and require
a significant amount of our time. In addition, our ability to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights may be limited
in certain countries outside the U.S., which could make it easier for competitors to capture market position in such countries
by utilizing technologies that are similar to those developed or licensed by us.
Competitors may also
harm our sales by designing products that mirror the capabilities of our products or technology without infringing on our intellectual
property rights. If we do not obtain sufficient protection for our intellectual property, or if we are unable to effectively enforce
our intellectual property rights, our competitiveness could be impaired, which would limit our growth and future revenue.
We may also find it
necessary to bring infringement or other actions against third parties to seek to protect our intellectual property rights. Litigation
of this nature, even if successful, is often expensive and time-consuming to prosecute and there can be no assurance that we will
have the financial or other resources to enforce our rights or be able to enforce our rights or prevent other parties from developing
similar technology or designing around our intellectual property.
Our trade secrets
may be difficult to protect
Our success depends upon the skills,
knowledge and experience of our scientific and technical personnel, our consultants and advisors, as well as our licensors
and contractors. Because we operate in a highly competitive industry, we rely in part on trade secrets to protect our
proprietary technology and processes. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We enter into confidentiality or
non-disclosure agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers
and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third
party’s
confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by us
during the course of the receiving party's relationship with us. These agreements also generally provide that inventions
conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property, and we enter into
assignment agreements to perfect our rights.
These confidentiality,
inventions and assignment agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to us. Our trade
secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case we would not be able to prevent the use of such trade
secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets
could be difficult, expensive and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the U.S.
may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could adversely
affect our competitive position.
Our lack of patent and/or copyright protection and
any unauthorized use of our proprietary information and technology may affect our business
We currently rely on a combination of protections by contracts,
including confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements, and common law rights, such as trade secrets, to protect our intellectual
property. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property
from misappropriation in the U.S. and abroad. This risk may be increased due to the lack of any patent and/or copyright protection.
Any patent issued to us could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or rights granted thereunder may not provide a competitive
advantage to us. Furthermore, patent applications that we file may not result in issuance of a patent, or, if a patent is issued,
the patent may not be issued in a form that is advantageous to us. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights,
others may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around our patents and other rights. In addition,
it is difficult to monitor compliance with, and enforce, our intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis in a cost-effective
manner. In jurisdictions where foreign laws provide less intellectual property protection than afforded in the U.S., our technology
or other intellectual property may be compromised, and our business could be materially adversely affected. If any of our proprietary
rights are misappropriated or we are forced to defend our intellectual property rights, we will have to incur substantial costs.
Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including diverting the time and effort of our
senior management, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial resources to oppose any actual
or threatened infringement by any third party. Furthermore, any patent or copyrights that we may be granted may be held by a court
to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and subject us to the payment of damage awards.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Because we will likely issue additional shares of
our common stock, investment in our company could be subject to substantial dilution.
Investors’ interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer
dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of
common stock, $0.00001 par value per share. As of September 2, 2016, there were 46,751,074 shares of our common stock
issued and outstanding. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity
financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell more common stock, investors’ investment in our company will
likely be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share
immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our company’s
common stock could seriously decline in value.
The sale of our stock under the convertible notes
and the common share purchase warrants could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline
of our stock price.
In many circumstances, the provision of financing based
on the distribution of equity for companies that are traded on the OTCQB has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure
on the price of common stock. This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market’s
ability to take up the increased stock or if we have not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will
be used to grow our business. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Regardless
of our activities, the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price.
If there are significant short sales of our common stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause the
share price to decline more, which may cause other stockholders of the stock to sell their shares, thereby contributing to sales
of common stock in the market. If there are many more shares of our common stock on the market for sale than the market will absorb,
the price of our common shares will likely decline.
Trading in our common stock on the OTCQB has been
subject to wide fluctuations.
Our common stock is currently quoted for public trading
on the OTCQB. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock
may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies
with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced
by our common stock will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price
of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price
of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted,
could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws provides
for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability which may result in a major cost to us
and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions
that eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent possible under the laws of the
State of Delaware or other applicable law. These provisions eliminate the liability of our directors and our shareholders for
monetary damages arising out of any violation of a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. Under Delaware law, however, such
provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the director's duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases
of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit.
These provisions do not affect a director's liabilities under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third
parties.
We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment
in the shares of stock of our Company and any gain on an investment in our Company will need to come through an increase in our
stock’s price, which may never happen.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not
intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided
for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends,
any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen
and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
Because our securities are subject to penny stock
rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.
Our shares as penny stocks, are covered by Section 15(g)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our company’s
securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure
of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares
are not traded on a national stock exchange, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements
specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules require brokers who sell “penny stocks” to persons
other than established customers and “accredited investors” to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries
of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules
may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the secondary market for our
shares of common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our shares of common
stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a
stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described
above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending
an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that
customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other
information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced
securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend
that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect
on the market for our shares.
Tangiers Global, LLC will pay less than the then-prevailing
market price for our common stock.
Our common stock to be issued to Tangiers Global, LLC pursuant
to the Investment Agreement dated August 4, 2016 will be purchased at 80% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices
of our common stock during the pricing period applicable to the put notice, provided, however, an additional 10% will be added
to the discount of each put if (i) we are not DWAC eligible and (ii) an additional 15% will be added to the discount of each put
if we are under DTC “chill” status on the applicable date of the put notice. Tangiers Global, LLC has a financial
incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between
the discounted price and the market price. If Tangiers Global, LLC sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease.
If our stock price decreases, Tangiers Global, LLC may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it
holds. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.
Your ownership interest may be diluted and the value
of our common stock may decline by exercising the put right pursuant to the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC.
Pursuant to the investment agreement with Tangiers Global,
LLC, when we deem it necessary, we may raise capital through the private sale of our common stock to Tangiers Global, LLC at a
discounted price. Because the put price is lower than the prevailing market price of our common stock, to the extent that the
put right is exercised, your ownership interest may be diluted.
We may not have access to the full amount available
under the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC.
Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the
investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC requires that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part
to be declared effective and continue to be effective. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part registers
the resale of 5,829,842 shares issuable under the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC, and our ability to sell any
remaining shares issuable under the investment with Tangiers Global, LLC is subject to our ability to prepare and file one or
more additional registration statements registering the resale of these shares. These registration statements may be subject to
review and comment by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will require the consent of our independent registered
public accounting firm. Therefore, the timing of effectiveness of these registration statements cannot be assured. The effectiveness
of these registration statements is a condition precedent to our ability to sell all of the shares of our common stock to Tangiers
Global, LLC under the investment agreement. Even if we are successful in causing one or more registration statements registering
the resale of some or all of the shares issuable under the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC to be declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner, we may not be able to sell the shares unless certain other conditions
are met. For example, we might have to increase the number of our authorized shares in order to issue the shares to Tangiers Global,
LLC. Increasing the number of our authorized shares will require board and stockholder approval. Accordingly, because our ability
to draw down any amounts under the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC is subject to a number of conditions, there
is no guarantee that we will be able to draw down any portion or all of the proceeds of $5,000,000 under the investment with Tangiers
Global, LLC.
Certain restrictions on the extent of puts and the
delivery of advance notices may have little, if any, effect on the adverse impact of our issuance of shares in connection with
the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC, and as such, Tangiers Global, LLC may sell a large number of shares, resulting
in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by existing stockholders.
Tangiers Global, LLC has agreed, subject to certain exceptions
listed in the investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC, to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in
Tangiers Global, LLC or its affiliates owning more than 9.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock at any one time.
These restrictions, however, do not prevent Tangiers Global, LLC from selling shares of our common stock received in connection
with a put, and then receiving additional shares of our common stock in connection with a subsequent put. In this way, Tangiers
Global, LLC could sell more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more
than 9.99% at one time.
Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares
of our common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock
pursuant to our exercise of the put right offered by Tangiers Global, LLC. We will use these proceeds for general corporate and
working capital purposes and acquisitions or assets, businesses or operations or for other purposes that our board of directors,
in its good faith, deems to be in the best interest of the Company.
We will pay for expenses of this offering, except that the
selling stockholder will pay any broker discounts or commissions or equivalent expenses and expenses of its legal counsel applicable
to the sale of its shares.
Dilution
The sale of our common stock to Tangiers Global, LLC in
accordance with the Investment Agreement dated August 4, 2016 will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our
net loss per share could increase in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower
our stock price is at the time we exercise our put option, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Tangiers
Global, LLC in order to drawdown pursuant to the investment agreement. If our stock price decreases during the pricing period,
then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.
Investment Agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC
On August 4, 2016, we entered into an amended and restated
investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Tangiers”). Pursuant to the
terms of the investment agreement, Tangiers committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of our common stock over a period of up to
36 months. From time to time during the 36 month period commencing from the effectiveness of the registration statement, we may
deliver a put notice to Tangiers which states the dollar amount that we intend to sell to Tangiers on a date specified in the
put notice. The maximum investment amount per notice must be no more than 200% of the average daily trading dollar volume of our
common stock for the eight (8) consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the applicable put notice and such amount
must not exceed an accumulative amount of $250,000. The minimum put amount is $5,000. The purchase price per share to be paid
by Tangiers will be the 80% of the of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the pricing
period applicable to the put notice, provided, however, an additional 10% will be added to the discount of each put if (i) we
are not DWAC eligible and (ii) an additional 15% will be added to the discount of each put if we are under DTC “chill”
status on the applicable date of the put notice.
In connection with the investment agreement with Tangiers,
we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Tangiers, pursuant to which we agreed to use our best efforts to, within
30 days of August 4, 2016, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement, covering the resale of 5,829,842
shares of our common stock underlying the investment agreement with Tangiers.
The Company also issued a fixed convertible promissory
note to Tangiers for the principal sum of $50,000 as a commitment fee. The promissory note maturity date is February 14,
2017.
If this registration statement is
declared effective within 90 days of the execution date of the Investment Agreement, the Company and Holder agree the principal
balance of the Note will immediately be reduced by $25,000. If this registration statement is declared effective within 135
days, but no more than 90 days of the execution date of the Investment Agreement, the Company and Holder agree the principal balance
of the Note will immediately be reduced by $15,000.
The 5,829,842 shares being offered
pursuant to the investment agreement with Tangiers represents12.49% of the shares issued and outstanding, assuming that the selling
stockholders will sell all of the shares offered for sale. The 5,829,842 shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus represent
27.38% of the shares issued and outstanding held by non-affiliates of our company. The investment agreement with Tangiers is not
transferable and any benefits attached thereto may not be assigned.
At an assumed purchase price under the Investment Agreement of $0.08 (equal to 80%
of the closing price of our common stock of $0.10 on September 2, 2016), we will be able to receive up to $466,387 in gross
proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 5,829,842 Put Shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Investment
Agreement. At an assumed purchase price of $0.08 under the Investment Agreement, we would be required to register 566,701,625
additional shares to obtain the balance of $4,533,613 under the Investment Agreement. Due to the floating offering price, we
are not able to determine the exact number of shares that we will issue under the Investment Agreement.
There are substantial risks to investors as a result of
the issuance of shares of our common stock under the investment agreement with Tangiers. These risks include dilution of stockholders’
percentage ownership, significant decline in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed.
We intend to sell Tangiers periodically our common stock
under the investment agreement and Tangiers will, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price. This
may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to Tangiers to raise
the same amount of funds, as our stock price declines.
The proceeds received from any “puts” tendered to Tangiers under
the investment agreement will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions or assets, businesses
or operations or for other purposes that our board of directors, in its good faith deem to be in the best interest of the Company.
We may have to increase the number of our authorized shares
in order to issue the shares to Tangiers if we reach our current amount of authorized shares of common stock. Increasing the number
of our authorized shares will require board and stockholder approval. Accordingly, because our ability to draw down any amounts
under the investment agreement with Tangiers is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will be able
to draw down any portion or all of the proceeds of $5,000,000 under the investment agreement with Tangiers.
Selling Stockholders
This prospectus relates to the resale of 5,917,442 shares
of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, including (i) 5,829,842 shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”),
shares issuable to Tangiers Global, LLC (defined below) and, (ii) 87,600 shares previously issued to an individual shareholder.
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 5,829,842
shares of the Common Shares, issuable to Tangiers Global, LLC (“Tangiers”), a selling stockholder pursuant to a “put
right” under an amended and restated investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated August 4, 2016, that
we entered into with Tangiers. The Investment Agreement permits us to “put” up to five million dollars ($5,000,000)
in shares of our common stock to Tangiers over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months or until $5,000,000 of such shares have
been “put.”
The selling stockholder may offer and sell, from time to
time, any or all of shares of our common stock to be sold to Tangiers Global, LLC under the Investment Agreement dated August
4, 2016.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of shares of common stock by the selling stockholder as of September 2, 2016 and the number of shares of our common
stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus. We believe that the selling stockholder has sole voting and
investment powers over its shares.
Because the selling stockholder may offer and sell all or
only some portion of the 5,917,442 shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus, the numbers in the table
below representing the amount and percentage of these shares of our common stock that will be held by the selling stockholder
upon termination of the offering are only estimates based on the assumption that the selling stockholder will sell all of its
shares of our common stock being offered in the offering.
The selling stockholder has not had any position or office,
or other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates over the past three years.
To our knowledge, the selling stockholder is not a broker-dealer
or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. We may require the selling stockholder to suspend the sales of the shares of our common stock
being offered pursuant to this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the
related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in those documents in
order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 5,829,842
shares of the Common Shares, issuable to Tangiers Global, LLC (“Tangiers”), a selling stockholder pursuant to a “put
right” under an amended and restated investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated August 4, 2016, that
we entered into with Tangiers. The Investment Agreement permits us to “put” up to five million dollars ($5,000,000)
in shares of our common stock to Tangiers over a period of up to thirty-six (36) months or until $5,000,000 of such shares have

The Amended and Restated Investment
Agreement with Tangiers is not transferable.
At an assumed purchase price under the Investment Agreement of $0.08 (equal to 80%
of the closing price of our common stock of $0.10 on September 2, 2016), we will be able to receive up to $466,387 in gross
proceeds, assuming the sale of the entire 5,829,842 Put Shares being registered hereunder pursuant to the Investment
Agreement. At an assumed purchase price of $0.08 under the Investment Agreement, we would be required to register 566,701,625
additional shares to obtain the balance of $4,533,613 under the Investment Agreement. Due to the floating offering price, we
are not able to determine the exact number of shares that we will issue under the Investment Agreement.
The selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell any
or all of shares of our common stock covered hereby on the OTCQB, or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which
the shares are traded or in private transactions. A selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered
pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated
prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

|
The selling stockholder may also sell securities under Rule
144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange
for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder
(or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but,
except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage
commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with
FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests
therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which
may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder
may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to
such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
Tangiers Global, LLC is an underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933 and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the
registration of the securities.
The selling stockholder will be subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 including Rule 172 thereunder.
The resale securities will be sold only through registered
or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale
securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an
exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to
the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases
and sales of securities of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus
available to the selling stockholder and will inform it of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at
or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act of 1933).

Capital Stock
We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value, and 100,000,000 shares of Common stock, $0.00001 par value.

The holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights
to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors and are entitled to share ratably in
all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs.
Our common stock does not provide the right to a preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions or rights. Our common stock holders are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on
which stockholders may vote.
All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid
for and non-assessable. We refer you to our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the applicable statutes of the state of Delaware
for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities. All material terms of our common stock
have been addressed in this section.
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors,
can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will
not be able to elect any of our directors.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders.
The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital
requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention
not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Dividend rights of both our common and preferred shareholders will entitle them to the same dividend that other shareholders of
the same class receive.

and December 31, 2015, as the exercise price per share exceeded the price per share of our common shares, there was no aggregate
intrinsic value of outstanding warrants. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the warrants had 3.6 and 3.3 years remaining

Information with respect to Our Company
Description of Business
American Cannabis Company, Inc. and
subsidiary is a publicly listed company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “AMMJ”. We are based in Denver, Colorado
and operate a fully-integrated business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses operating in regulated cannabis
industry in states and countries where cannabis is regulated and/or has been de-criminalized for medical use and/or legalized
for recreational use. We provide advisory and consulting services specific to this industry, design industry-specific products
and facilities, and manage a strategic group partnership that offers both exclusive and non-exclusive customer products commonly
used in the industry.
We are a Delaware corporation formed
on September 24, 2001 with the name Naturewell, Inc., which became Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. (“BIMI”) on March
13, 2013 pursuant to a merger transaction that resulted in the Company becoming the owner of a Brazilian interactive television
technology and television production company, BIMI, Inc. We became American Cannabis Company, Inc. on September 29, 2014, pursuant
to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 15, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company, Cannamerica Corp.
(“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BIMI, and Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc. d/b/a American Cannabis Consulting
(“American Cannabis Consulting”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which was consummated and became effective on
September 29, 2014, Merger Sub was merged with and into American Cannabis Consulting through a reverse triangular merger transaction
(the “Reverse Merger”), we changed our name to “American Cannabis Company, Inc.”, and our officers and
directors in office prior to the Merger Agreement resigned and American Cannabis Consulting appointed new officers and directors
to serve our Company. In concert with the Merger Agreement, we consummated a complete divestiture of BIMI, Inc. pursuant to a
Separation and Exchange Agreement dated May 16, 2014 (the “Separation Agreement”) between the Company, BIMI, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Brazil Investment Holding, LLC (“Holdings”),
a Delaware limited liability company. On October 10, 2014, we changed our stock symbol from BIMI to AMMJ.
Industry
and Regulatory Overview
As of June 28, 2016, 25 states,
the District of Columbia and Guam allow their citizens to use medical cannabis through de-criminalization. Voters in the States
of Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and Alaska have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use; Oregon’s law took effect
on July 1, 2015; Alaska’s law was effective February 24, 2015; both the Colorado and Washington programs were enacted as
of December 31, 2014. In 2016, Nevada California, Vermont, Arizona, Connecticut and Michigan have legislative bills in various
stages of progress concerning cannabis legalization.
Additionally, there are active efforts
by many advocacy groups seeking to expand the legalization of cannabis, including, but not limited to the Marijuana Policy Project,
a leading advocate for major state-level marijuana policy reforms that have resulted in successful efforts to pass 10 of the 15
most recent state medical marijuana laws (in Arizona, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, and Vermont) and five of the seven most recent decriminalization laws (in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, and Vermont).
These advocacy groups and others are
devoting significant resources to ending prohibition in 12 more states by 2019, including in the States of Arizona, California, Massachusetts,
and Nevada, as well as lobbying and building coalitions to regulate marijuana in several states that do not have the option of voter initiatives, including in: Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Texas,
and Vermont and are also advocating for medical marijuana-related bills in several other states, including Georgia, Texas,
and West Virginia.
These noted state laws, both proposed
and enacted, are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a
national level. However, on August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum providing that where states and
local governments enact laws authorizing cannabis-related use, and implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems,
the federal government will rely upon states and local enforcement agencies to address cannabis activity through the enforcement
of their own state and local narcotics laws. The memorandum further stated that the U.S Justice Department’s limited investigative
and prosecutorial resources will be focused on eight priorities to prevent unintended consequences of the state laws, including
distribution of cannabis to minors, preventing the distribution of cannabis from states where it is legal to states where it is
not, and preventing money laundering, violence and drugged driving.
On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Department
of Justice issued another memorandum with regard to its position and enforcement protocol with regard to Indian Country, stating
that the eight priorities in the previous federal memo would guide the United States Attorneys' cannabis enforcement efforts in
Indian Country. On December 16, 2014, as a component of the federal spending bill, the Obama administration enacted regulations
that prohibit the Department of Justice from using funds to prosecute state-based legal medical cannabis programs.
Investment Agreement with Tangiers
Global, LLC
On August 4, 2016, we entered into
an amended and restated investment agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Tangiers”).
Pursuant to the terms of the investment agreement, Tangiers committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of our common stock over a
period of up to 36 months. From time to time during the 36 month period commencing from the effectiveness of the registration
statement, we may deliver a put notice to Tangiers which states the dollar amount that we intend to sell to Tangiers on a date
specified in the put notice. The maximum investment amount per notice must be no more than 200% of the average daily trading dollar
volume of our common stock for the eight (8) consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the applicable put notice and
such amount must not exceed an accumulative amount of $250,000. The minimum put amount is $5,000. The purchase price per share
to be paid by Tangiers will be the 80% of the of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the
pricing period applicable to the put notice, provided, however, an additional 10% will be added to the discount of each put if
(i) we are not DWAC eligible and (ii) an additional 15% will be added to the discount of each put if we are under DTC “chill”
status on the applicable date of the put notice.
In connection with the investment agreement
with Tangiers, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Tangiers, pursuant to which we agreed to use our best
efforts to, within 30 days of August 4, 2016, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement, covering
the resale of 5,829,842 shares of our common stock underlying the investment agreement with Tangiers.
The Company also issued a fixed convertible promissory
note to Tangiers for the principal sum of $50,000 as a commitment fee. The promissory note maturity date is February 14,
2017.
If this registration statement is declared effective within 90 days of the execution date of the Investment
Agreement, the Company and Holder agree the principal balance of the Note will immediately be reduced by $25,000. If this registration
statement is declared effective within 135 days, but no more than 90 days of the execution date of the Investment Agreement,
the Company and Holder agree the principal balance of the Note will immediately be reduced by $15,000.
The 5,829,842 shares being offered
pursuant to the investment agreement with Tangiers represents 12.49% of the shares issued and outstanding, assuming that the selling
stockholders will sell all of the shares offered for sale. The 5,829,842 shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus represent
27.38% of the shares issued and outstanding held by non-affiliates of our Company. The investment agreement with Tangiers is not
transferable and any benefits attached thereto may not be assigned.
At an assumed purchase price of $0.08
we will be able to receive up to $466,387 in gross proceeds, assuming the sale of the 5,829,842 shares of our common stock pursuant
to the investment agreement with Tangiers, being the number of shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus. We may be required
to further increase our authorized shares in order to receive the entire purchase price. Tangiers has agreed to refrain from holding
an amount of shares which would result in Tangiers owning more than 9.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock at
any one time.
There are substantial risks to investors
as a result of the issuance of shares of our common stock under the investment agreement with Tangiers. These risks include dilution
of stockholders’ percentage ownership, significant decline in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds
when needed.
We intend to sell Tangiers periodically
our common stock under the investment agreement and Tangiers will, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the
market price. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to
Tangiers to raise the same amount of funds, as our stock price declines.
The aggregate investment amount of
$5,000,000 was determined based on numerous factors, including the following: The proceeds received from any “puts”
tendered to Tangiers under the investment agreement will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions
or assets, businesses or operations or for other purposes that our board of directors, in its good faith deem to be in the best
interest of our Company.
We may have to increase the number
of our authorized shares in order to issue the shares to Tangiers if we reach our current amount of authorized shares of common
stock. Increasing the number of our authorized shares will require board and stockholder approval. Accordingly, because our ability
to draw down any amounts under the investment agreement with Tangiers is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee
that we will be able to draw down any portion or all of the proceeds of $5,000,000 under the investment agreement with Tangiers.
In order for us to sell any remaining shares
issuable under the Investment Agreement for the remaining $4,533,613, we would be required to file one or more additional registration
statements registering the resale of these shares. These subsequent registration statements may be subject to review and comment
by the staff of the SEC, and will require the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm. We cannot guarantee
that we will be successful in preparing and filing one or more additional registration statements registering the resale of the
shares. Due to the floating offering price, we are not able to determine the exact number of shares that we will issue under the
Investment Agreement.
There are no broker fees or commissions with
respect to the Investment Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement payable for any Put. Other than as discussed below, we have
not entered into any prior transactions with Tangiers or its affiliates.

Cannabis
Business Monitoring
. The regulated commercial cannabis industry is constantly growing and shifting, and the ongoing monitoring
of a cannabis business allows it to remain responsive to evolving consumer demands and state regulations as well as potential
operations problems. We offer fully-integrated business analysis solutions. Our monitoring services include sales tracking,
market assessment, loss prevention strategies, review of operational efficiency and workflow recommendations. Additionally,
our services include Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (“SWOT”) analysis, where we analyze client operations
to pinpoint strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Our SWOT analyses allow clients to focus their efforts and resources
on the most critical areas along these dimensions.

Equipment
and Supplies
In
addition to professional consulting services, we operate an equipment and supplies division for customers in the cannabis industry,
including through American Cultivator Co., our Group Purchasing Organization that enables customers to procure commonly used cultivation
supplies at low prices associated with high volume purchases. Our major product offerings include the following:
•
|
|
The
Satchel
™. The Satchel was invented in response to regulatory changes in Colorado and elsewhere that require child-proof
exit containers. The Satchel is a pouch-like case designed as a high-quality, child-proof exit package solution for the regulated
cannabis industry. The Satchel meets child-safety requirements of the Consumer Products Safety Commission (“CPSC”),
making it compliant in all states, and the Satchel’s drawstring and toggle lock fulfills the requirements of the Poison
Prevention Packaging Act of 1970 (16 CFR part 1700). There are few products meeting regulatory standards, and even fewer that
offer distinctive quality. The Satchel will meet all current exit packaging regulations, featuring a child-proof closure that
completely conceals the contents inside. On March 29, 2016, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued us Patent No.
9,296,524 B2 for the Satchel.

|
|
SoHum
Living Soil
™. The right grow methodology is critical to the success of any cannabis cultivation operation, and SoHum
Living Soil™ is our solution to ensure that our customers can implement an optimal methodology that will maximize quality
and yields while simplifying the cultivation process and reducing risk of operator error and test failure. The SoHum medium
is a fully amended Just-add-water soil that contains none of the synthetic components found in other potting mixes and requires
no chemical additives to spur growth. Compared with comparable methodologies, SoHum Living Soil™ offers a number of
key advantages, including: (1) consistent Pyto-pharmaceutical-grade product quality; (2) improved plant resistance to disease;
and (3) reduced operator error.
|
•
|
|
High
Density Cultivation System (
HDCS™)
.
A key metric in the success of a cultivation operation is the maximization
of available space to grow. Our High Density Cultivation System is a solution designed to ensure that space is used in the
most efficient manner possible. The system takes advantage of the existence of vertical space, with racks installed vertically
and placed on horizontal tracking to eliminate multiple isles and create multiple levels of space with which to grow plants.
The High Density Cultivation System allows customers to increase production capacity without the need to add additional square
footage to the operation.
|
•
|
|
The
Cultivation Cube
™. The Cultivation Cube™ is a self-contained, scalable cultivation system that is compliant
with regulatory guidelines. The Cultivation Cube™ allows commercial cannabis cultivation operations to maximize space,
yield and profit through an innovative design that provides a fully integrated growing solution. The Cultivation Cube utilizes
more lights per square foot than traditional grow systems, which translates to profit increases per square foot. The Cultivation
Cube™ is also stackable, which allows customers to achieve vertical gains and effectively doubles productive square-footage.
It is an ideal solution for commercial-scale cultivation within limited space, with numerous advantages over other traditional
grow systems, including: (1) flexibility to fit customer build-out sites; (2) efficient speed-to-market with fast delivery
and set-up; (3) increased security with limited access units; (4) risk mitigation through precision environmental controls;
and, (5) is compatible with lean manufacturing principles and operations.
|
•
|
|
Other
Products
. We offer our clients a diverse array of commonly utilized product offerings from across all areas of the regulated
cannabis industry, including cultivation operations, medicinal and recreational cannabis dispensary operations, and infused-products.
Examples of products available through American Cultivator Co. include HID Ballasts, reflectors, MH and HPS bulbs, T5 fixtures,
mediums, nutrients and fertilizers, growing containers, flood tables, reservoirs, and various other supplies, including cleaning
products and office supplies. We also offer a Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) focused on disposables
to creates purchasing power by leveraging groups of businesses to obtain discounts from vendors based on the collective
buying power of the GPO.
|
Sales
and Marketing
We
sell our services and products throughout the United States in states that have implemented regulated cannabis programs as well
as Canada. We intend to expand our offerings as more new countries, states and jurisdictions as they adopt state-regulated or
federal programs.
Research
and Development
As
a component of our equipment and supplies offerings, from time-to-time we design and develop our own proprietary products to meet
demand in markets where current offerings are insufficient. These products include, but are not limited to: the Satchel™,
Cultivation Cube™, So-Hum Living Soils™ and the HDCS™. Costs associated with the development of new products
are expensed as occurred as research and development operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2015, our research
and development costs were $51,115 as compared to $12,863 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Significant
Customers
For the year ended December 31, 2015
and December 31, 2014, in the aggregate, three customers and two customers, respectively, accounted for 74% and 52% of the Company’s
total revenues for each respective period.
On a geographical basis, for the year
ended December 31, 2015, approximately 91% and 9% of our total revenues were generated from the United States and Canada, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately 70% and 30% of our total revenues for the period were generated from the United
States and Canada, respectively.
Intellectual
Property
On March 29, 2016, the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office issued us Patent No. 9,296,524 B2 for the Satchel.
We
may file for additional patent protection as we deem appropriate to protect new products. We also had trademark applications pending
to protect our branding and logos. These pending applications included trademarks for American Cannabis Company (stylized and/or
with design logo), American Cannabis Consulting (stylized and/or with design logo), the design and colors used in our leaf logo,
the Cultivation Cube (stylized and/or with design logo), our slogan (“Growing the Next Frontier”), and two word marks
and the logo associated with SoHum Living Soil.
Competition
Our
competitors include professional services firms dedicated to the regulated cannabis industry as well as suppliers of equipment
and supplies commonly utilized in the cultivation, processing, or retail sale of cannabis. We compete in markets where cannabis
has been legalized and regulated, which includes various states within the United States, it’s territories and Indian Country
therein and Canada. We expect that the quantity and composition of our competitive environment will continue to evolve as the
industry matures. Additionally, increased competition is possible to the extent that new states and geographies enter the marketplace
as a result of continued enactment of regulatory and legislative changes that de-criminalize and regulate cannabis products. We
believe that by being well established in the industry, our experience and success to date, and continued expansion of service
and product offerings in new and existing locations are factors that mitigate the risk associated with operating in a developing
competitive environment. Additionally, the contemporaneous growth of the industry as a whole will result in new customers entering
the marketplace, thereby further mitigating the impact of competition on our operations and results.
Employees
As of September 2, 2016, we have nine
(9) full-time employees, all of whom are U.S based, primarily in Colorado at our Denver headquarters.
None
of our U.S employees are represented by a labor union.
Description of Property
Our Offices
Our
headquarters are located at
5690 Logan Street, Unit A, Denver CO. 80216,
where we
lease office space under a contract effective July 28, 2015, expiring on July 31, 2020.
Under the terms of the lease, payments
are $4,500 per month for the first 36 months of the lease, and escalate thereafter.
We believe that our existing office facilities are adequate
for our needs. Should we require additional space at that time, or prior thereto, we believe that such space can be secured on
commercially reasonable terms.
Legal Proceedings
On January 20,
2016, we were named as a defendant in a civil suit entitled “Anthony Baroud vs. Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc., dba American
Cannabis Company” filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on April 3,
2016. On May 18, 2016, the Court granted the motion to dismiss.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of
American Cannabis Company, Inc.
Denver, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our
audit 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 audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Cannabis
Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

AMERICAN CANNABIS
COMPANY, INC.
NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2015 and 2014
Note 1.
Description of the Business
American Cannabis Company, Inc. and its
subsidiary Company, Hollister& Blacksmith, Inc., doing business as American Cannabis Consulting (“American Cannabis
Consulting”), (collectively “the “Company”) are based in Denver, Colorado and operate a fully-integrated
business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses operating in the regulated cannabis industry in states and countries
where cannabis is regulated and/or has been de-criminalized for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use. We provide
advisory and consulting services specific to this industry, design industry-specific products and facilities, and sell both exclusive
and non-exclusive customer products commonly used in the industry.
American Cannabis Company, Inc. is a publicly
listed Company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “AMMJ”.
American Cannabis Company, Inc. was incorporated
in the State of Delaware on September 24, 2001 under the name Naturewell, Inc. to develop and market clinical diagnostic products
using immunology and molecular biologic technologies.
On March 13, 2013, Naturewell, Inc. completed
a merger transaction whereby it acquired 100% of issued and outstanding share capital of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. (“BIMI”),
which operated as a Brazilian interactive television company and television production company through its wholly owned Brazilian
subsidiary company EsoTV Brasil Promoção Publicidade Licenciamento e Comércio Ltda. (“EsoTV”).
Naturewell’s Certificate of Incorporation were amended to reflect a new name: Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.
On May 15, 2014, BIMI entered into a merger
agreement (“the Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of American Cannabis Consulting
while simultaneously disposing of 100% of the issued share capital EsoTV (“the Separation Agreement”). Both the merger
with American Cannabis Consulting and disposal of EsoTV were completed on September 29, 2014. BIMI subsequently amended its Certificate
of Incorporation to change its name to American Cannabis Company, Inc. On October 10, 2014, American Cannabis Company, Inc. changed
its stock symbol from BIMI to AMMJ.
The foregoing descriptions of the Merger
Agreement and Separation Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreements,
which are filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) on October 3, 2014.
Immediately following the completion of
the Merger Agreement, former shareholders of American Cannabis Consulting owned 31,710,628 shares of American Cannabis Company,
Inc.’s common stock representing 78.44% of American Cannabis Company, Inc.’s issued and outstanding share capital.
Accordingly, American Cannabis Consulting was deemed to have been the accounting acquirer in a Reverse Merger which resulted in
a recapitalization of the Company. Consequently, the Company’s financial statements reflect the results of American
Cannabis Consulting since Inception (March 5, 2013) and of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI) from September 29,
2014 to December 31, 2014.
See Note 14. “Stockholders’
Equity” for further information regarding the accounting related to the Reverse Merger.
Note 2. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company
has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.
AMERICAN
CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2015 and 2014
Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed
periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are deemed to be necessary.
Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include but are not limited to following: those related to
revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived
assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of future events, economic,
environmental and political factors, and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates.
When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of
the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will
change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating
environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies
are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to
the financial statements.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating
accounts at a major financial institution.
The company maintains its cash balances
in three national financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
insurance for up to $250,000 per institution. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had uninsured balances
of $267,238 and $0, respectively. Management believes that these financial institutions are financially sound and the risk of
loss is minimal.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is recorded at cost, which
approximates fair value. There was no restricted cash included in current assets on our balance sheets as of December 31, 2015
and December 31, 2014. Restricted cash previously related to remaining proceeds from a short-term note entered into on March 21,
2014 and fully satisfied on May 15, 2014 (see Note 7. Convertible Notes Payable).
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of products and equipment
owned by the Company to be sold to end-customers. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless
and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation
to market value. As of December 31, 2014, market values of all of the Company’s inventory were greater than cost, and accordingly,
no such valuation allowances was recognized. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had capitalized $57,170
and $40, 051 of costs associated with the construction of demo inventory, including but not limited to parts for the assembly
of scalable cultivation systems; and accordingly, no amortization or depreciation expense was recorded related to this asset for
each year, then ended.
Deposits
Deposits is comprised of advance payments
made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which the Company has not yet taken title. When the Company takes title to
inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon
sale (see “Costs of Revenues” below).
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current
Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general
expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the contract
or service period.
AMERICAN
CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2015 and 2014
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the
net value of face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable
and, based on a method of specific identification of any accounts receivable for which it deems the net realizable value to be
less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances.
In determining its need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical experience, analysis of past
due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, the Company’s actual experience
may vary from its estimates. If the financial condition of its clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness
to pay the Company’s fees, it may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated
to the extent that the Company receives retainers from its clients prior to performing significant services.
The allowance for doubtful accounts, if
any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing
adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the
provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 our allowance for doubtful accounts
was $8,419 and $9,338, respectively. For December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded bad debt expense of $30,753 and
$9,338, respectively, which is reflected as a component of general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of
operations.

Property and Equipment, net
Property and Equipment is stated at net
book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of
capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed
into service. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company had not capitalized any interest as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset
to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its
estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair
value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the
assets. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2015
and December 31, 2014.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
If the conversion features of conventional
convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a
beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20
Debt with
Conversion and Other Options
. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the
BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with
FASB ASC Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition
. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
the related services are rendered or delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured.
The Company primarily generates revenues
from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally entered into on a time basis, for a fixed-fee
or on a contingent fee basis. Generally, a prepayment or retainer is required prior to performing services.
Revenues from time-based engagements are
recognized as the hours are incurred by the Company.
Revenues from fixed-fee engagements are
recognized under the completed or proportional performance methods. Management reviews arrangement to determine whether or not
the fixed-fee is for a final deliverable or act which is significant to the arrangement as a whole. If it is, revenue is recognized
under the completed performance method, in which revenue is recognized once the final act or deliverable is performed or delivered.
Revenue recognized under the proportional performance method is recognized as services are performed. Under this method, the Company
estimates the amount of completed work in comparison to the total services to be provided under the arrangement or deliverable
in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Revenue recognition is affected by a number of factors that change
the estimated amount of work required to complete the deliverable, such as changes in scope, timing, awaiting notification of
license award from local government, and the level of client involvement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized
in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and December
31, 2014, no such losses have occurred. The Company believes if an engagement terminates prior to completion it can recover the
costs incurred related to the services provided.
The Company occasionally enters into arrangements
for which revenues are contingent upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Any contingent revenue for these
arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company’s arrangements with clients
may include terms to deliver multiple services or deliverables. These contracts specifically identify the services to be provided
with the corresponding deliverable. The value for each deliverable is determined based on the prices charged when each element
is sold separately or by other vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), or estimates of stand-alone selling prices.
Revenues are recognized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies for the elements as described above. The elements
qualify for separation when the deliverables have value on a stand-alone basis and the value of the separate elements can be established
by VSOE or an estimated selling price.
While assigning values and identifying separate
elements requires judgment, selling prices of the separate elements are generally readily identifiable as the Company also sells
those elements individually outside of a multiple services engagement. Contracts with multiple elements typically incorporate
a fixed-fee or hourly pricing structure. Arrangements are typically terminable by either party upon sufficient notice and do not
include provisions for refunds relating to services provided.
Differences between the timing of billings
and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled revenue (a component of accounts receivable) or deferred revenue
on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenues recognized for services performed but not yet billed to clients are recorded as unbilled
revenue.

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating
to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues. Typically, an equivalent
amount of reimbursable expenses are included in total direct client service costs. Reimbursable expenses related to time and materials
and fixed-fee engagements are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred and collectability is reasonably
assured. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the statement of operations
on a net basis.
Revenue from product and equipment sales,
including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped,
title has transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, our suppliers’ drop-ship orders to our clients
with origin terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. During
the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, sales returns were not significant and as such, no sales return allowance
had been recorded as of December 31, 2015 nor at December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company generated
revenue from the sale of products to a company managed by a Director of the Company.
Costs of Revenues
The Company’s policy is to recognize
costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Cost of revenue includes the costs directly attributable
to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products
and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are included
as a component of selling and marketing expense and are expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and December
31, 2014, these costs were $79,989 and $29,858, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
For product and equipment sales, shipping
and handling costs are included as a component of cost of revenues.
Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted shares are awarded to employees
and service providers and entitle the grantee to receive shares of common stock at the end of the established vesting period.
The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line
basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date. During the years ended
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, stock-based compensation expense for restricted shares was $319,187 and $3,370,128, respectively.
Compensation expense for warrants and options is based on the fair value of the instruments on the grant date, which is determined
using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and are expensed over the expected term of the awards. During the year ended December
31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, compensation expense for warrants and options was $0 and $146,551, respectively.
Income Taxes
Our corporate status changed from an S-Corporation,
which it had been since inception, to a C-Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2014. As provided in Section 1361 of
the Internal Revenue Code, for income tax purposes, S-Corporations are not subject to corporate income taxes; instead, the owners
are taxed on their proportionate share of the S-Corporation’s taxable income. Accordingly, we were only subject to income
taxes for a portion of 2014. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting
for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We
record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the
year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, due to cumulative losses since our corporate status changed, we recorded a
valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that reduced our income tax benefit for the period to zero. As of December
31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes and the carrying value of our deferred
tax asset was zero. The years 2010 to 2015 remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company reports net income (loss) per
common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic
and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted
net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation
does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
Related Party Transactions
The Company follows FASB ASC subtopic 850-10,
Related Party Disclosures
, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014,
the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of
Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). By incorporating
and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards, ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess
whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern . Specifically, ASU 2014-15
(1) provides a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) requires an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods,
(3) provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) requires certain disclosures when
substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) requires an express statement and
other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) requires an assessment for a period of one year after the
date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending
after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company has
not elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-15, and accordingly, the requirements of ASU 2014-15 will apply beginning
with the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the application of ASU 2014-15
will have on disclosures associated with its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the
FASB issued ASU 2014-9 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-9”), which provides
a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods
or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or
services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows
for either full retrospective or modified retrospective application, with early adoption not permitted. Accordingly, the standard
becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method it will apply
and the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Convertible Notes Payable
On April 24, 2014, Brazil Interactive Media,
Inc. issued convertible notes payable in the total amount of $395,000. The convertible notes payable have a maturity date of April
24, 2016, pay zero interest, and are convertible until maturity at the holders’ discretion into shares of the Company’s
common stock at $0.08 per share. Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.’s share price on April 24, 2014 was $0.24 and accordingly,
the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature attached to these convertible notes payable was $590,000. However, as
the amount of debt discount to be recognized cannot exceed the face value of the convertible notes payable, the convertible notes
payable were discounted by the maximum permissible amount of $395,000 due to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion
option.
During the period from April 24, 2014 through
the effective date of the Merger, September 29, 2014, no convertible notes payable were converted into shares of Brazil Interactive
Media, Inc. common stock and $84,836 debt discount was amortized during the period. Accordingly as at the effective date of the
Reverse Merger, September 29, 2014, a total of $395,000 of convertible notes payable and unamortized debt discount of $310,164
was recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During the period from September 29, 2014
to December 31, 2014, $323,500 of the convertible notes payable were converted into 4,043,750 shares of common stock and $263,215
of debt discounted was amortized in the period. The balance of unamortized debt discount outstanding in respect of convertible
notes payable that converted into shares of American Cannabis Company, Inc. common stock was amortized in full at the date of
conversion.
As of December 31, 2015, the convertible
notes payable had a $71,500 face value and a discount of $11,248, for a net carrying value of $60,252 which is reflected on the
Company’s balance sheet as convertible notes payable, net. As of December 31, 2014, the convertible notes payable had a
$71,500 face value and a discount of $46,949, for a net carrying value of $24,551 that is reflected on the Company’s balance
sheet as Convertible notes payable, net. The convertible notes payable are convertible into 893,750 shares of American Cannabis
Company, Inc. common stock. As of April 11
th
, 2016, the maturity date on this note has been renegotiated to April 24
th
,
2018. On April 12, 2016, the Company received notice of partial conversion of this note in the amount $58,000 convertible into
725,000 shares of restricted common stock at a price of $0.08 per share.,
On May 15, 2014, as a result of the issuance
of the convertible notes payable, a secured promissory note that American Cannabis Consulting had originally entered into on March
21, 2014 was deemed to be fully satisfied. This secured promissory note had a principal amount of $35,000 and an interest rate
of 5% per annum. The Company recorded interest expense related to this note of $260 during the year ended December 31, 2014. The

2016, we were named as a defendant in a civil suit entitled: Anthony Baroud vs. Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc., dba American
Cannabis Company filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The lawsuit seeks damages of $100,000 related to an employment
contract. The Company filed a motion to compel contractual arbitration that has yet to be ruled on by the Court.
On April 14, 2014, the Company entered into
a 106 day lease of office space to house its corporate offices which converted to a month to month lease at the end of the lease
term. Under the terms of the lease, payments were $2,000 during the lease term and $4,000 per month after the lease term expired.
On July 28, 2015, the Company entered into
a 5 year lease for 6,500 square feet of office space to house its corporate offices. Under the terms of the lease, payments are
$4,500 per month for the first 36 months of the lease, and escalate thereafter.

Note 12. Stock-based Compensation
During the years ended December 31, 2015
and December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a total of $319,187 and $3,370,128, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense,
which was the result of the following activity:
Restricted Shares
From time to time, the Company grants certain
employees restricted shares of its common stock to provide further compensation in-lieu of wages and to align the employee’s
interests with the interests of its stockholders. Because vesting is based on continued employment, these equity-based incentives
are also intended to attract, retain and motivate personnel upon whose judgment, initiative and effort the Company’s success
is largely dependent.

restricted share award activity during the year ended December 31, 2015:

During the year ended December 31, 2015,
the Company granted 164,981 restricted shares and recognized $124,099 in associated employee stock-based compensation expense.
There were 150,000 restricted shares granted as of December 31, 2014 and recognized $40,903 in associated employee stock-based
compensation expense. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
Warrants
In connection with his appointment to the
Company’s board of directors, the Company granted its independent board member, Vincent “Tripp” Keber, warrants
to purchase up to two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) shares of common stock at an exercise price of sixty-three cents ($0.63)
per share, exercisable within five (5) years of the date of issuance on November 19, 2014. Additionally, Mr. Keber shall be eligible
to receive options for 400,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s incentive plan, as and when duly approved by the
Board of Directors.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation
model to determine the fair value of warrants as of the grant date. Assumptions used in this calculation for the warrant award
to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock include expected volatility of 160.7%, based on an average of historical data of the
Company’s stock price and the stock prices of three comparable companies that are also included in the marijuana index,
a risk-free rate of 1.62%, based on U.S. Treasury yields as published by the Federal Reserve, a dividend yield of 0.0%, as
the Company has not historically paid dividends nor does it have any plans to do so in the foreseeable future, and an expected
term of five years. The grant date fair value of the warrants, as calculated based on these assumptions, was $0.59 per share.

Compensation expense associated with warrants
was $146,551 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and is reflected on the consolidated statement of operations as a component
of general and administrative expenses. No warrants were issued or outstanding during 2015, and accordingly, there was no compensation
expense associated with warrants for the year ended December 31, 2015.
As of December 31, 2015, the exercise price
per share exceeded the price per share of our common shares. There was no aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding warrants.
Note 13.
Income Taxes
As part of the Reverse Merger, the Company’s
corporate status changed from an S-Corporation, which it had been since inception, to a C-Corporation. As provided in Section
1361 of the Internal Revenue Code, for income tax purposes, S-Corporations are not subject to corporate income taxes; instead,
the owners are taxed on their proportionate share of the S-Corporation’s taxable income. Accordingly, the Company was not
subject to income tax for the year ended December 31, 2015 and was only subject to income taxes for a portion of the year ended
December 31, 2014.
The following table displays a reconciliation
from the U.S. statutory rate to the effective tax rate and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the years ended December

Due to cumulative net losses since the change
in our corporate status to a C-Corporation, the Company determined that it is not more likely than not that its deferred tax asset
would be realizable. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of its deferred tax asset, resulting
in a zero carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax asset and no benefit from or provision for income taxes for the year
ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax
assets was zero due to the valuation allowance. Federal and state operating loss carry forwards of $198,369 as of December 31,
2016 begin expiring on 2034. The years 2010 to 2015 remain subject to examination by the Company’s major tax jurisdictions.
Utilization of the net operating loss carry
forwards and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by Section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions.
Note 14. Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock
The American Cannabis Company, Inc. is authorized
to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.01 par value.
No shares of preferred stock were issued
and outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2015 or the period from Inception (March 5, 2013) to December 31, 2013.
Common Stock
In connection with the September 29, 2014
Reverse Merger as described in Note 1. “Description of the Business”, American Cannabis Consulting was deemed to have
been the accounting acquirer in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Consequently, the Company’s consolidated financial statements
reflect the results of American Cannabis Consulting since Inception (March 5, 2013) and of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly
BIMI) from September 29, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
As a reverse triangular merger, the Reverse
Merger resulted in a recapitalization of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI). This recapitalization included retrospective
restatement of all stock issuance by American Cannabis Consulting from Inception (March 5, 2013), whereby the issued and outstanding
shares of American Cannabis Consulting common stock were retrospectively restated for a 1:3,171.0628 forward share split to recognize
the exchange ratio associated with the Reverse Merger, and for the change in the par value of shares issued in connection with
the Reverse Merger.
On the date of the Reverse Merger, an additional
8,714,372 shares were issued, and accordingly, $87 of common stock was recorded (8,714,372 shares issued multiplied by the $0.00001
par value) and additional paid-in capital of $5,258 was recorded, reflecting the net assets assumed from Brazil Interactive Media,
Inc. in connection with the Reverse Merger.

AMERICAN
CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 and 2015
(Unaudited)
Note 1.
Description of the Business
American Cannabis Company, Inc. and its
subsidiary Company, Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc., doing business as American Cannabis Consulting (“American Cannabis
Consulting”), (collectively “the “Company”) are based in Denver, Colorado and operate a fully-integrated
business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses operating in the regulated cannabis industry in states and countries
where cannabis is regulated and/or has been de-criminalized for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use. The Company
provides advisory and consulting services specific to this industry, designs industry-specific products and facilities, and manages
a strategic group partnership that offers both exclusive and non-exclusive customer products commonly used in the industry. American
Cannabis Company, Inc. is a publicly listed company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “AMMJ”.
Note 2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company
has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31. Certain balance sheet reclassifications have been made to prior period balances
to reflect the current period’s presentation format; such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated
statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows and had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheets.
Reclassifications
Prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed
periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are deemed to be necessary.
Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include but are not limited to following: those related to
revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived
assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of future events, economic,
environmental and political factors, and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates.
When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of
the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will
change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating
environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies
are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to
the financial statements.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
entries necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented for: (a) the financial position; (b) the result of operations;
and (c) cash flows, have been made in order to make the financial statements presented not misleading. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.
AMERICAN
CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 and 2015
(Unaudited)
Significant Clients and Customers
For the three months ended June 30, 2016,
four customers individually accounted for $494,003 of the Company’s total revenues; these customers accounted for approximately
79% of the Company’s total revenues for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, six customers individually accounted
for $834,907 of the Company’s total revenues; these customers accounted for approximately 71% of the Company’s total
revenues for the period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015,
two customers individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues; these customers accounted for approximately
63% of the Company’s total revenues for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, three customers individually
accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues; these customers accounted for approximately 70% of the Company’s
total revenues for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, three customers individually accounted for 10% or more
and 65% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, three customers individually
accounted for 10% or more and 66% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company reports net income (loss) per
common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic
and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted
net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation
does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
Due to the Company’s net losses for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, any potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of June 30, 2016
and June 30, 2015 respectively, were not presented in the EPS computations, as their effect would have been antidilutive.
Recent
Accounting
Pronouncements
The Company has
reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and it does not believe any of these pronouncements
will have a material impact on the Company.
Reclassifications
Prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The Company had convertible debentures which
were originally issued on April 24, 2014, maturing on April 24, 2016, paid zero interest, and were convertible until maturity
at the holders’ discretion into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.08 per share. On April 11th, 2016, the
maturity date on this note was renegotiated to April 24th, 2018. On April 12, 2016, the Company received notice of a partial conversion
of this note in the amount of $58,000 that was converted into 725,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.08 per share. On
May 6, 2016, the Company received notice for the conversion of the balance of the note in the amount of $13,500 that was converted
into 168,750 shares of common stock at a price of $0.08 per share. Based on this conversion, as of June 30, 2016, the Company
had remaining convertible debentures in the total amount of $0, and any unamortized debt discount remaining on the date of conversion
was amortized in full to interest expense.
On June 23, 2016, the Company entered into two convertible
promissory notes: one for $50,000 and one for $330,000. As of the date of this filing, the Company received $150,000 in proceeds
and recorded a discount of $10,935. The maturity date for each note is February 14, 2017. Each note pays 8% fixed interest and
is convertible at the holder’s discretion into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price of $0.1135 per
share. On August 4, 2016 the notes were amended and restated to delete portions of the notes that originally provided for a conversion

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact, including without limitation, statements containing
the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates” and similar words, constitute forward-looking
statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. From time to time we may make other forward-looking statements.
Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are subject to an inherent risk that actual results may materially
differ as a result of many factors, including the risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described
under “Risk Factors” in any filings we have made with the SEC.
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, cost reimbursement
income, bad debts, impairment, net lease intangibles, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There
can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Background
American
Cannabis Company, Inc. and subsidiary is a publicly listed company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “AMMJ”. We
are based in Denver, Colorado and operate a fully-integrated business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses
operating in the regulated cannabis industry in states and countries where cannabis is regulated and/or has been de-criminalized
for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use. We provide advisory and consulting services specific to this industry,
design industry-specific products and facilities, and sell both exclusive and non-exclusive customer products commonly used in
the industry.
The
Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 24, 2001 under the name “Naturewell, Inc.” On March
13, 2013, the Company completed a merger transaction whereby it acquired Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. (“BIMI”),
a Brazilian interactive television company and television production company. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
were amended to reflect a new name: Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. On May 15, 2014 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger with Cannamerica Corp. (the “Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BIMI, and Hollister & Blacksmith,
Inc. doing business as American Cannabis Consulting (“American Cannabis Consulting”). The merger was completed on
September 29, 2014, resulting in American Cannabis Consulting being merged with and into the Merger Sub (the “Reverse Merger”).
The Company subsequently amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to “American Cannabis Company, Inc.”
Upon the closing of the Reverse Merger, all of the Company’s officers and directors appointed designee officers and directors
from American Cannabis Consulting and resigned. Consistent with the Merger Agreement, the Company consummated a complete divestiture
of BIMI, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to a Separation and Exchange Agreement
dated May 16, 2014 (the “Separation Agreement”) between the Company, BIMI, Inc., and Brazil Investment Holding, LLC
(“Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company.
On
October 10, 2014, the Company changed its stock symbol from BIMI to AMMJ.

Revenues
Total
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, were $2,799,887 and $1,259,012, respectively, an increase
of $1,540,875. This increase was primarily due to growth in our client base and volume of operations as our business has matured
following commencement of business operations in April 2013, specifically the establishment of our in-house product offerings
and 3
rd
party equipment sales were major contributing factors. For the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31,
2014, consulting services revenue was $693,225 and $677,633, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31,
2014, products and equipment revenue were $2,106,662 and $581,379, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2014, the company generated revenue from the sale of products in the amount of $25,214 and $0, respectively, to a
Director.
Costs
of Revenues
Costs
of revenues primarily consist of labor, travel, and other costs directly attributable to providing services or products. For the
year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our total costs of revenues were $2,000,113 and $771,476, respectively. The
increase in costs of revenues was primarily due to the increase in operating expenses related to overhead and salaries as well
as sales volume discussed above. As a percentage of total revenues, the increase was due to changes in product mix, as sales of
products and equipment, which have a lower gross margin compared to consulting and advisory services, made up a higher percentage
of revenues and costs of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014. For the year ended
December 31, 2015, consulting related costs were $182,161 or 6.5% of total revenues and costs related with costs associated with
products and equipment were $1,817,952 or 64.9% of total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2014, consulting related costs
were $322,134, or 25.6% of total revenue, and costs associated with products and equipment were $449,342, or 35.7% of total revenue.
Gross
Profit
For the
year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, gross profit was $799,774 and $487,536, respectively. This increase was primarily
due to growth in our client base and volume of operations including product sales as our business has matured following commencement
of business operations since 2013. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit was 28.6% and 38.7% for the years ended December
31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the year ended December 31, 2015 having a higher
proportion of total revenues from product and equipment sales as compared to consulting services, as product and equipment sales
have a lower profit margin compared to revenues generated by consulting and advisory services.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1,352,740 and 3,878,340, respectively. This
decrease of $2,525,600 was attributed to stock-based compensation expense of $319,187 in 2015 versus $3,370,128 in 2014. The decrease
in stock-based compensation expense reflected grants for which the awards were vested. A higher amount was reflected in 2014 due
to the Reverse Merger activities during 2014. In addition, we experienced an increase in investor relations which was $307,069
during 2015 versus $23,132 incurred in 2014 as the company began working with investor funding opportunities.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was income of $37,313 and expense of $228,388, respectively.
This increases in other income was due to less interest incurred during 2015, $35,458 versus $263,388 of interest expense attributed
to initial amortization of the discount on our convertible notes payable. In addition, for December 31, 2015 and December 31,
2014 we had a gain on debt extinguishment of $72,771 and $35,000, respectively, which was attributed to negotiations with legal
counsel in the forgiveness of debt, which was deemed fully satisfied as an aspect of the issuance of convertible notes payable.
Net
Income (Loss)
As a
result of the factors discussed above, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was net loss of $515,653
and $3,619,192, respectively. For December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these net losses represented a 18.4% and 287.5% of
total revenues for the respective periods.

Revenues
Total
revenues were $443,648 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $468,745 for the three months ended June 30, 2015,
a decrease of $25,097. The decrease in consulting revenues is due to our consulting clients being in various early stages of their
projects, which results in periodic fluctuations of cyclical consulting revenues as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. However,
we did continue to grow in the product and equipment sales as our ongoing clients required products for their strategic growth
and development. We expect to see growth in the future as more states allow for the medical and recreational use and sale of cannabis. We
continue to establish our products and equipment offerings and growth in our client base and volume of operations as our business
has matures following commencement of business operations in April 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, consulting
services revenue were $211,863, or 47.8% of total revenue, compared to $268,488, or 57.3% of total revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 2015. This is mainly attributed to fewer new clients on board for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, products and equipment revenue were $231,785,
or 52.2% of total revenues, compared to $200,257, or 42.7% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Costs
of Revenues
Costs
of revenues primarily consist of labor, travel, and other costs directly attributable to providing services or products. During
the three months ended June 30, 2016, our total costs of revenues were $197,126, or 44.4% of total revenues. This compares to
total costs of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 of $264,979 or 56.5% of total revenues. The decrease in costs
of revenues of $67,853 was primarily due to a decrease in consulting sales volume discussed above and a reduction
in our internal infrastructure development. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, consulting-related costs were $51,278, or
11.6% of total revenue, as compared to costs of $88,632, or 18.9% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Costs associated
with products and equipment were $145,848, or 32.9% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $176,347,
or 37.6% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015. As a percentage of revenues, the decreases were primarily
due to lower sales volume during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as certain primarily-fixed costs such as labor made up
a comparably smaller percentage of revenues as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Gross
Profit
Total
gross profit was $246,522 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, comprised of consulting services gross profit of $160,585
and products and equipment gross profit of $85,937. This compares to total gross profit of $203,766 for the three months ended
June 30, 2015, comprised of consulting services gross profit of $179,856 and products and equipment gross profit of $23,910. These
decrease of $19,271 for consulting services gross profit and an increase of $62,027 for products and equipment gross profit were
primarily due to less new clients in our client base and further establishment of our products and equipment offerings. As a percentage
of total revenues, gross profit was 56.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 43.5% for the three months ended June 30,
2015. This increase was primarily driven by the higher sales volume in products and equipment sales volume during the three months
ended June 30, 2016.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses were $329,921, or 74.4% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $311,314, or
66.4% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in general and
administrative expenses attributable to higher bad debt expense and by higher accounting, auditing and legal fees associated with
the costs of running a public company. The increase was further driven by higher payroll costs as lower labor amounts were allocated
to projects for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to June 30, 2015. Also, the Company has reduced selling and marketing
efforts due to achieving a stronger brand recognition in the market place during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared
with the three months ended June 30, 2015, which has resulted in lower expenditures for trade shows and conferences.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was expense of $1,376 as compared with $63,934 income for the three
months ended June 30, 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 the Company incurred a non-cash interest expense reflecting
$2,076 related to convertible notes payable discount amortization for the period, which was partially offset by other income as
compared to $8,837 expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The Company incurred a gain on extinguishment of debt of
$72,771 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Income
Tax Expense (Benefit)
Although
our tax status changed from a non-taxable pass-through entity (S-Corporation) to a taxable entity (C-Corporation) during the year
ended December 31, 2014, due to cumulative losses since we became a C-Corporation, we recorded a valuation allowance against our
related deferred tax asset which netted our deferred tax asset and benefit for income taxes to zero for the three months ended
June 30, 2016.
Net
Income (Loss)
As a
result of the factors discussed above, net income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was net loss of $84,775,
or 19.1% of total revenues for the period, as compared to a net loss of $43,614, or 9.3% of total revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 2015.

Revenues
Total
revenues were $984,052 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $912,412 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an
increase of $71,640. This increase was driven by growth in our sales of products and equipment as our business matured following
commencement of business operations in April 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, consulting services revenue was $459,473,
or 46.7% of total revenue, compared to $464,058, or 50.9% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This reduction
is mainly due to fewer new clients for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2015.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, products and equipment revenue were $524,579, or 53.3% of total revenues, compared to
$448,354, or 49.1% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Costs
of Revenues
Costs
of revenues primarily consist of labor, travel, and other costs directly attributable to providing services or products. During
the six months ended June 30, 2016, our total costs of revenues were $480,657, or 48.8% of total revenues. This compares to total
costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $548,481 or 60.1% of total revenues. The decrease in costs of revenues
of $67,824 was primarily due to the overall increase in sales volume discussed above and a reduction in our internal infrastructure
development. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, consulting-related costs were $99,800, or 10.1% of total revenue, as compared
to costs of $146,483 or 16.1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Costs associated with products and equipment
were $380,857, or 38.1% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $401,998, or 44.1% of total revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2015. As a percentage of revenues, the decreases were primarily due to level of sales volume,
as discussed above, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as certain labor intensive services made up a comparably smaller
percentage of revenues as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Gross
Profit
Total
gross profit was $503,395 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, comprised of consulting services gross profit of $359,673 and
products and equipment gross profit of $143,723. This compares to total gross profit of $363,931 for the six months ended June
30, 2015, comprised of consulting services gross profit of $317,575 and products and equipment gross profit of $46,356. These
increases of $42,098 in consulting services gross profit and $97,367 in products and equipment gross profit were primarily due
to lower labor intensive services on the consulting revenues, and growth in sales of our products and equipment offerings. As
a percentage of total revenues, gross profit was 51.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 39.9% for the six months ended
June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volume during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses were $591,398, or 60.1% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $689,531, or
75.6% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in investor relations
expenses as the Company is currently utilizing internal resources for this function instead of outside sources; also the
Company has not invested in research and development projects during the six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, the Company
has reduced selling and marketing efforts due to achieving a stronger brand recognition in the market place during the six months
ended 2016, which has resulted in lower expenditures for trade shows and conferences as compared to the six months ended June
30, 2015. However, there was an increase in general and administrative expenses which was attributed to bad debts expense in 2016
for which there was $0 in 2015, along with increase in professional fees such as accounting, auditing and legal services, which
are all needed to run a public company, as well as an increase in payroll costs as the Company allocated less labor to projects
for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to June 30, 2015.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was expense of $10,329 as compared with income of $55,148 for the six
months ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company incurred non-cash interest expense reflecting $10,329
related to convertible notes payable discount amortization for the period, which was partially offset by interest income as compared
to $17,623 expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $72,771
for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Income
Tax Expense (Benefit)
Although
our tax status changed from a non-taxable pass-through entity (S-Corporation) to a taxable entity (C-Corporation) during the year
ended December 31, 2014, due to cumulative losses since we became a C-Corporation, we recorded a valuation allowance against our
related deferred tax asset which netted our deferred tax asset and benefit for income taxes to zero for the six months ended June
30, 2016.
Net
Income (Loss)
As a
result of the factors discussed above, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $98,332 or 10.0% of total revenues
and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $270,452 or 29.6% of total revenues.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2016, our primary internal sources of liquidity were our working capital, which included cash and cash equivalents of
$228,654 and accounts receivable of $151,736. We also have the ability to raise additional capital as needed through external
equity financing transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of non-cash expenses, the Company’s
operating cash flows were a use of $464,529 due to an increase in accounts receivable of $116,795, a decrease in advances from
clients of $105,416 and a decrease in accounts payable of $146,491. Additionally, considering that our fixed overhead costs are
low, we have the ability to issue stock to compensate employees and management, and the level of future revenue we expect to generate
from executed client contracts, we believe our liquidity and capital resources to be adequate to fund our operational and general
and administrative expenses for at least the next 12 months without needing to raise additional debt or equity funding. There
is no guarantee we will have the ability to raise additional capital as needed through external equity financing transactions
if required.
Operating
Activities
Net cash
used in operating activities for the six months June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $464,529 and $175,368, respectively. The $464,529 use
of cash was due to an increase in accounts receivable of $116,795, a decrease in advances from clients of $105,416 and a decrease
in accounts payable of $146.491. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $175,368, consisting
of net loss of $270,452, non-cash adjustments reconciling net income to net cash used in operating activities of $134,186 and
a net use of cash of $39,102 from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net non-cash adjustments of $134,186 were due
to amortization of the discount on convertible notes payable of $17,704, employee stock-based compensation of $80,394, professional
services compensated in shares of common stock of $107,385 and depreciation of $1,474, partially offset by a gain on debt extinguishment
related to a negotiated settlement of legal fees of $72,771. Changes in operating assets and liabilities, a net use of cash of
$39,102, were the result of a decrease in deferred revenue of $144,115, an increase in accounts receivable of $44,842 on higher
sales volume, an increase in inventory of $25,600 primarily related to Satchels, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current
assets of $5,606 and a decrease in accrued and other current liabilities of $1,511, mostly offset by a decrease in deposits of
$102,202 primarily due to the receipt of Satchels during the period and an increase in accounts payable of $80,370.
Investing
Activities
For the
six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, investing activities were a use of cash of $1,662 and $12,332, respectively. This was
due to purchases of office furniture and computer equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Financing
Activities
For the
six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the net cash from financing activities was $139,065 and $250,000, respectively. During
the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company received proceeds of $139,065 from one convertible promissory note. Net cash
provided by financing activities of $250,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflected the sale of 833,333 shares of common
stock to an investor during the period.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
We use
Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP metric, to monitor our overall business performance. We define Adjusted EBITA as net income (loss)
before interest expense, net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, stock-based compensation and certain non-recurring expenses,
which to date have been limited to costs associated with the Reverse Merger. We believe that such adjustments to arrive at Adjusted
EBITA provides us with a more comparable measure for managing our business. We also believe that it is a useful measure for securities
analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our Company.
A reconciliation
of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITA is provided below.

CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On
February 12, 2015, the Company notified Bongiovanni & Associates, PA ("Bongiovanni"), its independent registered
public accounting firm, that it was dismissing Bongiovanni as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective as
of that date. During the period from Inception (March 5, 2013) through December 31, 2013 and subsequent interim period through
February 12, 2015, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Bongiovanni on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if
not resolved to the satisfaction of Bongiovanni, would have caused Bongiovanni to make reference on the subject matter of the
disagreements in its reports. Also on February 12, 2015, the Company engaged Cutler & Co., LLC ("Cutler"), as its
new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. Cutler will also conduct reviews
of the Company's unaudited quarterly financial statements on an ongoing basis thereafter.
In
October, 2015 the firm of Pritchett, Siler and Hardy PC acquired the audit practice of Cutler & Co., LLC, and the Company
appointed Pritchett, Siler and Hardy PC as its independent registered accounting firm. During the period when the Company engaged
Cutler & Co., LLC as its independent registered accounting firm, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(4)
of Regulation S-K) with Cutler & Co., LLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cutler & Co., LLC, would have
caused Cutler & Co., LLC to make reference on the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports.

is not independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation or was, at any time during the past
three years, employed by the corporation. Using this definition of independent director, we have one independent director, Vincent
“Tripp” Kerber”.

Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Section 102(b)(7)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director
of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional
misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware
corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide for
this limitation of liability.
Section 145
of the DGCL, or Section 145, provides, among other things, that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was,
is or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such
person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were or
are a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the corporation’s best interests, provided further that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval
if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful
on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses
which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.
Section 145
further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity,
or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him or
her under Section 145.
Our
bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and must also pay
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or
on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is
not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall not be obligated to indemnify
a director or officer in respect of a proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such director or officer, unless such proceeding
(or part thereof) has been authorized by the Board of Directors pursuant to the applicable procedure outlined in the bylaws.
Section 174
of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends
or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held jointly and severally liable for such actions. A director who was either
absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such
actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred
or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
The
indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter
acquire under any statute, provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
We
maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to our directors and officers against losses arising from
claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to us with respect to indemnification payments that
we may make to such directors and officers.
Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
On
March 5, 2013, American Cannabis Consulting sold 23,368,502 shares of its common stock to its Founders for cash consideration
of $800.
On
March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Brazil Interactive Media,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Brazil Interactive
Media, Inc. (the “Merger”). Before the Merger, the Company had 2,448,665,750 shares of Common Stock, 19,000,000
shares of Series A Common Stock, 3,115 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, and 75 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock issued and outstanding. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company converted all shares of Series A Common Stock
to 19,000,000 (2,240 post-reverse split) shares of regular common stock on March 11, 2013, all shares of Series E Convertible
Preferred Stock to 4,152,295 (489 post-reverse split) shares of common stock on March 11, 2013, and all outstanding senior convertible
notes to 210,746 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and 8,220,150 (969 post-reverse split) shares of Common Stock
on March 11, 2013. The company issued 3,740,000 Shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for the BIMI common
stock on March 13, 2013. On March 22, 2013, the Company issued 1,710 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock for proceeds
of $171,000 and issued 790 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock to retire a total of $79,024 in notes payable.
In March 2013 the Company issued 20,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock to an unrelated third party as compensation
for their consulting services valued at $292,739. On May 14, 2013, the Company converted all shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock to 1,875,000 (221 post-reverse split) shares of Common Stock.
Subsequent
to the Merger and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company implemented an 8,484 to 1 reverse split of the Company’s
Common Stock. Prior to the implementation of the reverse split, 2,481,913,195 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding,
3,970,746 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, issued in connection with the Merger Agreement, were issued and outstanding,
and 2,500 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. After the effects of the reverse split,
there were 292,917 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding, 3,970,746 shares of the Company’s
Series G Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, and 2,500 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding.
Prior
to the filing of the Certificate Amendment that implemented the reverse split in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company’s
authorized capitalization consisted of 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.01. However, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company filed the Certificate Amendment
and decreased its authorized capital from 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.01, to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $0.01.
On
July 25, 2013, 39,707,460 shares of Common Stock were issued in conversion of the 3,970,746 issued and outstanding shares of Series
G Convertible Preferred Stock, and as of December 31, 2013, there are no shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock issued
and outstanding. In accordance with a condition to the closing of the Merger Agreement, the Company has required that the Common
Stock newly issued upon the conversion of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock be subject to Lock Up and Leak Out Agreements
that restrict the transferability of that Common Stock. On October 1, 2013, 4,235,000 shares of Common Stock were issued
in connection with the Merger Agreement.
On
September 3, 2013, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock were issued as part of settlement agreement, pursuant to which, the previous
note payable in the amount of $170,000 and other liabilities in the amount of $220,000 were forgiven, the Company issued a new
note in the amount of $200,000, agreed to pay $150,000 in cash, and issued to one million restricted common shares, subject to
transfer restrictions pursuant to a two-year lock up leak out agreement. Compensation expense of $480,000 was recognized due to
the fair value of the shares in excess of the per share settlement price. In September 2013, the Company issued 4,235,937 shares
of Common Stock to several related and unrelated parties as compensations for their services valued at $2,371,797.
On
October 1, 2013, the Company issued 360,000 shares of common stock in payment for professional services, and 3,875,000 shares

notes payable have a maturity date of April 24, 2016, pay zero interest, and are convertible until maturity at the holders’
discretion into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.08 per share. Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.’s share price
on April 24, 2014 was $0.24 and accordingly, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature attached to these convertible
notes payable was $590,000. However, as the amount of debt discount to be recognized cannot exceed the face value of the convertible
notes payable, the convertible notes payable were discounted by the maximum permissible amount of $395,000 due to the intrinsic
value of the beneficial conversion option.

stock to employees in exchange for $200. As a result of the 3,171.0628 to 1 exchange ratio associated with the Reverse Merger,

value of the shares of $3,133,073 in equity as increases to common stock and additional paid-in capital of $64 and $3,133,009,
respectively.

paid-in capital of $5,258 was recorded, reflecting the net assets assumed from BIMI in connection with the Reverse Merger.

shares of common stock and $263,215 of debt discounted was amortized in the period.

“Tripp” Keber, warrants to purchase up to two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) shares of common stock at an exercise
price of sixty-three cents ($0.63) per share, exercisable within five (5) years of the date of issuance on November 19, 2014.
Additionally, Mr. Keber shall be eligible to receive options for 400,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s incentive

As
a reverse triangular merger, the Reverse Merger resulted in a recapitalization of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI).
This recapitalization included retrospective restatement of all stock issuance by American Cannabis Consulting from Inception
(March 5, 2013), whereby the issued and outstanding shares of American Cannabis Consulting common stock were retrospectively restated

in the par value of shares issued in connection with the Reverse Merger.
On
the date of the Reverse Merger, an additional 8,714,372 shares were issued, and accordingly, $87 of common stock was recorded
(8,714,372 shares issued multiplied by the $0.00001 par value) and additional paid-in capital of $5,258 was recorded, reflecting
the net assets assumed from Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. in connection with the Reverse Merger.
In
connection with the September 29, 2014 Reverse Merger as described in Note 1. “Description of the Business”, American
Cannabis Consulting was deemed to have been the accounting acquirer in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Consequently, the Company’s
consolidated financial statements reflect the results of American Cannabis Consulting since Inception (March 5, 2013) and of American
Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI) from September 29, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, which exhibit is incorporated herein
by reference.

* Filed herewith.
Undertakings
(A) The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i. To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii. To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
iii. To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
(4)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(5)
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included
in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however
, that no statement
made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will,
as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in
the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such date of first use.
(6)
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller
to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred
to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Signatures

to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused
this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
