The Company continues to market its naturally flavored hemp-infused functional beverage, Mango Energy. RMHB also bottles and distributes its naturally high alkaline spring water under the name Eagle Spirit Spring Water.

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to its industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates that could cause actual results to differ from its estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary.

Cash

The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the guidance of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” as amended. It records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the selling price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. The Company has not experienced any significant returns from customers and accordingly, in management’s opinion, no reserve for returns has been provided. Payments received prior to shipment of goods are recorded as deferred revenue.

The following table represents sales by sales channel for each of the periods:

All sales for all periods presented were to domestic customers.

Due to the nature of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers, the Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC 606.

The Company’s revenues accounted for under ASC 606, generally, do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams. The sales prices are generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We extend credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable and perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers and maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required.

It is determined whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. The Company may also record a general allowance as necessary.

Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate the collectability of receivables.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist only of the Company’s finished products held for resale, are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to dispose of the product.

If the Company identifies excess, obsolete or unsalable items, its inventories are written down to their realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases and product shipments are recorded in cost of sales in the Company’s statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short- and long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

The derivative liability, which relates to the conversion feature of convertible debt and common stock warrants and options, is classified as a Level 3 liability, and is the only financial liability measure at fair value on a recurring basis.

The change in the Level 3 financial instrument is as follows:

The estimated fair value of the derivative instruments was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions as of March 31, 2019:

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 840 Leases . In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset, representing their right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 was effective for calendar year-end public companies on January 1, 2019. The Company’s status as an emerging growth company allows it to defer the adoption of this standard by one year and the Company has elected to do so. The Company plans to adopt this new standard on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Capitalized Software

Direct costs related to software development, including coding, website application development, infrastructure development and graphics development, are capitalized and included in other assets. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the software. Costs related to planning, content development, and operating and maintaining software are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow and recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset plus the net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When the Company identifies an impairment, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. No impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Share-based Payments

Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents granted or outstanding for all periods presented.

The Company issued restricted stock to consultants and employees for various services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is to be measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities.” Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

Preferred Stock

We apply the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. We classify conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control, as temporary equity. At all other times, we classified our preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. Our preferred shares do not feature any redemption rights within the holders’ control or conditional redemption features not within our control. Accordingly, unless otherwise noted, all issuances of preferred stock are presented as a component of consolidated shareholders’ deficit.

Advertising

Advertising and marketing expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a shareholders’ deficit of $773,426 and an accumulated deficit of $36,281,611 as of March 31, 2019 and has generated operating losses since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue raising capital.

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with GHS Investments, LLC (“GHS”), which provides for GHS to purchase up to $15,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over a 24-month period based on a contractually agreed upon market discount. The SPA replaces the Equity Financing Agreement the Company entered into with GHS on October 12, 2017. On August 8, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register up to 16,000,000 shares of our common stock to be purchased by GHS under the SPA. The registration statement became effective on October 10, 2018 and the Company sold all the available shares under the SPA. On May 15, 2019, the Company filed a registration statement for 30,000,000 shares to be purchased by GHS. Management believes the SPA, along with bridge financing from GHS, will provide sufficient cash flows until cash flows from operations become consistently positive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, depreciation expense was $4,161 and $4,681, respectively.

NOTE 7 – Acquisition

FitWhey Brands Inc. (acquisition of the assets of BFIT Brands, LLC)

On July 25, 2018, the Company purchased the assets of BFIT Brands, LLC, an Arizona-based company. The acquired assets include the cash, accounts receivable, inventory, FitWhey trademark, recipes and formulas of BFIT’s FitWhey branded water-based protein drinks containing caffeine and a vitamin-B pack. The Company paid $230,438 including common stock issued to the owners of BFIT of $75,000, forgiveness of a note receivable of $80,000 plus accrued interest of $438, and $75,000 to be paid to the owners of BFIT over time based on 5% of net sales of FitWhey products. No liabilities were assumed by the Company in the transaction.

The purchase price of the assets of BFIT Brands, LLC assets was preliminarily allocated as follows:

The Company is obtaining an outside valuation of these assets.

The following represents the unaudited pro forma statement of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2018 had FitWhey been acquired on January 1, 2018:

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, interest expense on these notes, including amortization of the discount, was $293,189 and $375,546, respectively.

All tangible and intangible assets of the Company are pledged as security.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, notes payable includes three notes: two non-interest bearing notes totaling $30,000 that originated prior to the Company’s 2014 bankruptcy proceedings and a three-year note executed on September 1, 2016 relating to the purchase of used office furniture and equipment from our landlord. The Company executed the note payable in the amount of $40,122 at an interest rate of 0% and with monthly payments of $1,115. The Company imputed interest on the note and recorded a discounted note balance of $36,634.

For the three months ended March 2019 and 2018, interest expense on the furniture and equipment note was $197 and $631, respectively.

NOTE 11 – Deferred Revenue

In December 2017, the Company executed a three-year Master Manufacturing Agreement with CBD Alimentos SA de CV (“CBD-Alimentos”), a Mexican food and beverage distributor. Under the agreement (as amended), CBD Alimentos, through its sister company, CBD Life, will be our exclusive distributor in Mexico for all of our CBD-infused energy and functional beverages. In turn, we will be CBD Alimentos’ exclusive supplier of such products. The beverages supplied to CBD Alimentos will be private label products made to order for CBD Alimentos, and we will cooperate on laboratory and taste-testing of each batch of beverages at the co-packing facility. In accordance with the Agreement, RMHB opened a separate operating bank account for all deposits made by CBD Alimentos towards the purchase of ingredients and packaging. CBD Alimentos is required to maintain a positive cash balance in the account at all times. The Company has full unilateral authority to disburse funds from the bank account to vendors, suppliers, co-packers and the Company solely for the purposes of production and the Company’s margin on the sale. CBD Alimentos’ initial purchase order, including a deposit of $466,300 was received in December 2018. The $466,300 is accounted for as Deferred Revenue as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 as production and delivery of finished product had not yet been completed.

NOTE 12 – Shareholders’ Deficit

Common Stock

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has 200,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 104,169,609 shares issued and outstanding.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company issued 9,588,740 shares of common stock, including 1,750,000 shares for convertible notes payable conversions, 7,813,337 shares for cash, and 25,403 shares for compensation.

The Company has 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated, of which none were outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. LSW Holdings LLC was the holder of these shares. Lily Li, who was the Company’s Executive Vice President until April 5, 2018, is the Managing Member of LSW and, in that capacity, had the authority to direct voting and investment decisions with regard to its holdings in the Company. On October 26, 2018 these shares were ruled void ab initio by a District Court in Dallas County, Texas. The Company cancelled these shares effective that date.

Series B Preferred Stock

The Company has 7,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock designated, of which none were outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Series C Preferred Stock

The Company has 2,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock designated, of which none were outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Series C Preferred Stock is 12% interest bearing, cumulative, exchangeable, non-voting, convertible preferred stock of the Company. Each Series C Preferred share is convertible to 2.5 shares of common stock.

The Company has 2,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock designated, of which none were outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Series D Preferred Stock is a non-voting, non-interest bearing convertible preferred stock. Each Series D preferred share is convertible to 5 shares of common stock.

Series E Preferred Stock

On September 19, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a new Series E Preferred Stock. Holders of Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to cast 100 votes per share of Series E Preferred Stock on any proposal to increase our authorized capital stock, with no other voting rights. Series E Preferred Stock is convertible to common stock on a 20:1 basis. On the same day, the Board granted our Chairman 789,474 shares of Series E Preferred stock as payment for his deferred compensation. On October 31, 2017, Mr. Welch converted his 789,474 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to 39,474 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there were no shares outstanding.

Warrants

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company granted no common stock warrants, none were exercised, and none were cancelled.

Options

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company granted to a new employee 500,000 options to purchase common stock with a term of three years and an exercise price of $.06. None of the options were vested as of March 31, 2019. No options were exercised and none were cancelled during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

NOTE 13– Concentrations

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company’s two largest customers accounted for approximately 17% and 2% of sales, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s two largest customers accounted for approximately 28% and 12% of sales, respectively.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s net deferred tax liability as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are:

As of March 31, 2018 the Company had approximately $20,000,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”), which begin to expire in 2028. Utilization of the NOLs may be subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under regulations.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing but have kept the full valuation allowance. As a result the Company has recorded no income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%, resulting in a deferred tax expense of approximately $2,000,000 in 2017 that is still fully valued against as of March 31, 2019. This expense is attributable to the Company being in a net deferred tax asset position at the time of remeasurement. As the company maintains fully valuation allowance, this amount can be seen on the rate reconciliation as an adjustment to deferred tax asset and corresponding valuation allowance.

NOTE 15 – Commitments

Office Leases

The Company has a three-year lease for corporate office space. The lease commenced on September 1, 2016 with monthly payments of $7,715 in year one, $7,972 in year two and $8,229 in year three. The lease is being accounted for on a straight-line basis over its term.

On January 18, 2018, the RMHC entered into a 12-month office use agreement for office space in Denver, Colorado. Monthly payments are $91. The lease was renewed for another 12 months in January 2019. Monthly payments remained $91.

The Company rents storage space from various third parties on a month-to-month basis.

NOTE 16 – Legal Proceedings

Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc. v Lyonpride Music, LLC, United States District Court Northern District of Texas, 3:18-cv-00045-C, now Lyonpride Music LLC v Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc., Before the American Arbitration Association, 01-18-0003-1428.

The Company filed a suit against Lyonpride Music, LLC (“Lyonpride”) for fraud and for declaratory relief with respect to a contract between the parties. Lyonpride is seeking monetary damages from the Company for breach of contract and the Company is seeking monetary damages against Lyonpride. The case has been referred to binding arbitration as referenced above. The parties are conducting discovery.

Dallas County Texas, Case Number DC-17-15441 filed November 8, 2017. Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc. f/k/a Republic of Texas Brands, Inc. Plaintiff, vs. Jerry Grisaffi, Joe Radcliffe, LSW Holdings, LLC, Lily Li, Epic Group One, LLC, Kenneth Radcliffe, Dennis Radcliffe, Phil Uhrik, Michael Radcliffe, Frank Izzo, Morgan Albright, John Garrison, BB Winks, LLC, Crackerjack Classic, LLC, and Universal Consulting, LLC.

The Company sought the return of our Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”) issued to Jerry Grisaffi (“Grisaffi”), RMHB’s former Chairman of the Board, and common stock issued to certain other defendants or later obtained by certain other defendants for little or no consideration paid to the Company. The Company alleged, among other things, that Grisaffi breached his fiduciary duty to the Company by issuing these Series A shares to himself and common stock to himself and others. RMHB also sought to void the Indemnification and Release Agreement (“Indemnification”) between the Company and Grisaffi that was executed in June 2017.

Grisaffi filed a counterclaim against the Company seeking payment for two promissory notes allegedly owed to him, as well as relief under the Indemnification. Those notes have been accounted for in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Those counterclaim matters had been proactively addressed in the Company’s original suit, seeking to void the Indemnification and the two notes based on, among other things, fraud of Grisaffi. Grisaffi had also filed a derivative suit within the main lawsuit. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the derivative suit and on August 3, 2018 the Trial Court entered an Order Dismissing Derivative Claims, dismissing the derivative suit with prejudice. That Order is final.

In June 2018 LSW Holdings, LLC (“LSW”) and Lily Li (“Li”) filed counterclaims against the Company, generally seeking an increase of voting rights of the Series A shares to 60:1, a declaration that the Series A shares were validly issued to Grisaffi, challenging the authorized share increase of the Company, claiming securities fraud by the Company with respect to the Series A Shares purchased from Grisaffi and other common stock allegedly purchased by LSW and Li, as well as fraud, breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation by the Company. LSW seeks $10,000,000 in damages from the Company, for the $3,500,000 which was paid to Grisaffi for the Series A shares and for which LSW claims to be the responsibility of the Company to cover, and the remaining $6,500,000 for money allegedly spent by LSW in “developing a distribution system in China” and other alleged “investments” of Li and LSW in the Company. LSW and Li also sought exemplary damages.

On August 30, 2018, the Trial Court entered a final judgment and order in the Company’s favor and against Grisaffi. On August 29, 2018, after a show cause hearing, the Trial Court entered an order sanctioning Grisaffi for his repeated and unexcused refusals to make discovery in the case. As a sanction, the Trial Court struck Grisaffi’s pleadings in the case and, on August 30, 2018, entered a Default Judgment against him. Under the Trial Court’s Default Judgment:

Furthermore, the Court ruled that our continuing claims against the other defendants in the case were to be severe issued to Epic One Group, LLC were made without lawful consideration, and constituted breaches of fiduciary duty by Grisaffi.d and docketed under a separate cause of action and case number. We have continued to pursue our claims against the other defendants in the below referenced case.

The judgment and order entered August 30, 2018 concludes our litigation in district court as against Grisaffi. On September 4, 2018, Mr. Grisaffi filed a Notice of Appeal in the case against him.

In The Court Of Appeals For The Fifth District Of Texas Dallas, Texas, Jerry Grisaffi, Appellant v. Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc, f/k/a Republic of Texas Brands, Inc., Appellee, No. 05-18-01020-CV.

Grisaffi has filed an appeal of the Default Judgment, and submitted his brief on or about February 28, 2019. The Company is preparing its brief which is currently due April 1, 2019. Grisaffi did not appeal the Order Dismissing Derivative Claims. Grisaffi only seeks in his appeal to reverse in part the Default Judgment by striking the paragraph awarding monetary damages, leaving the remainder of the Default Judgment intact.

Dallas County Texas, Case Number DC-18-13491. Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc. f/k/a Republic of Texas Brands, Inc. Plaintiff, vs. Joe Radcliffe, LSW Holdings, LLC, Lily Li, Epic Group One, LLC, Kenneth Radcliffe, Dennis Radcliffe, Phil Uhrik, Michael Radcliffe, Frank Izzo, Morgan Albright, John Garrison, BB Winks, LLC, Crackerjack Classic, LLC, and Universal Consulting, LLC.

This is the surviving case of the above case, having been severed on September 12, 2018. In this case, on October 26, 2018 the Court granted our Motion For Summary Judgment, per a Summary Judgment Order, against LSW, holding that all Series A Preferred Shares in RMHB, including the shares issued to Grisaffi and later sold by him to LSW evidenced by Stock Certificate N0. 604 issued by RMHB, to LSW Holdings LLC in the amount of 1,000,000 shares, were void ab initio , and any potential rights thereunder were terminated as of July 11, 2014, when the bankruptcy court signed the Order Confirming Debtor’s Amended Plan of Reorganization. The Series A Preferred Shares have no legal force or effect. The Court also granted a take nothing judgment against LSW on counterclaim Counts 1, 2 and 3. The Company’s transfer agent has cancelled the Series A Preferred Shares. Later, on November 26, 2018, the Court entered an Order of Sanctions against Li and LSW. In the Order of Sanctions, and in response to Li and LSW’s repeated refusals to make proper discovery in the case, the Court struck the pleadings of these parties and ruled that RMHB was entitled to take a default judgment against them.

On February 4, 2019, the Court entered its Default Judgment against Li and LSW. In the Default Judgment, the Court ruled as follows:

The amount of damages and attorneys’ fees to be awarded to RMHB and against LSW Holdings and Li will be determined in a trial currently scheduled for June 3, 2019. We are continuing to pursue our claims against the remaining defendants in the case, which will be adjudicated at trial, currently scheduled for June 3, 2019.
