CPMD Cannapharmarx Inc (PK)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Nine Month Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

CannaPharmaRx, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation. In November 2018 it formed an Ontario corporation, Hanover CPMD Acquisition Corporation, to facilitate the acquisition described below. As of the date of this Report, the Company intends to engage in acquisitions or joint ventures with a company or companies that will allow it to become a national or internationally branded cannabis cultivation company, or otherwise engage in the cannabis industry. Management is engaged in seeking out and evaluating businesses for acquisition. However, if an opportunity in another industry arises the Company will review that opportunity as well.

History

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Colorado in August 1998 under the name “Network Acquisitions, Inc.” It changed its name to Cavion Technologies, Inc. in February 1999 and subsequently to Concord Ventures, Inc. in October 2006. On December 21, 2000, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the filing, on February 16, 2001, the Company sold its entire business, and all of its assets, for the benefit of its creditors. After the sale, the Company still had liabilities of $8.4 million and was subsequently dismissed by the Court from the Chapter 11 reorganization, effective March 13, 2001, at which time the last of the Company’s then remaining directors resigned. On March 13, 2001, the Company had no business or source of income, no assets, no employees or directors, outstanding liabilities of approximately $8.4 million, and had terminated its duty to file reports under securities law. In February 2008, after filing of a Form 10 registration statement pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we were re-listed on the OTC Bulletin Board.

In April 2010, the Company re-domiciled in Delaware under the name CCVG, Inc. (“CCVG”). Effective December 31, 2010, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Reorganization") which provided for the merger of two of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. As a result of this reorganization, the Company’s name became “Golden Dragon Inc.,” which became the surviving publicly quoted parent holding company.

On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with CannapharmaRx, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Canna Colorado”), and David Cutler, a former President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and director of the Company. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Canna Colorado purchased 1,421,120 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock from Mr. Cutler and an additional 9,000,000 common shares directly from the Company.

In October 2014, the Company changed its legal name to “CannaPharmaRx, Inc.”

In April 2016, the Company ceased operations. As a result, the Company was then considered a “shell” company as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Effective December 31, 2018, the Company and Hanover CPMD Acquisition Corp. (“CPMD Hanover”) a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Alternative Medical Solutions, Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (“AMS”), its shareholders, wherein the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of AMS. AMS is a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. It is a late-stage marijuana licensed producer applicant in Canada. It is currently in the Pre-License Inspection and Licensing phase, which is Stage 5 of 6, with a fully approved license. Upon completion of the final construction of the facility, Health Canada will inspect the facility and relevant operating procedures to ensure it meets the standards that have been approved in the application. There can be no assurances that the Company will receive this license.

The facility is a 48,750 square foot marijuana grow facility built on a 6.7-acre parcel of land located in Hanover, Ontario Canada. To date, the exterior construction of the building has been completed. However, no interior construction has begun. Upon full completion, the facility will contain up to 20 separate growing rooms which we believe will provide an annual production capacity of 9,500 kilos of marijuana (20,900 lbs.). Completion of the build-out of the facility is expected to take an estimated 20 weeks. Together with the remaining equipment needed to complete the grow the Company estimates that it will require approximately CAD$20.0 million in additional financing which it may seek to raise via equity and debt. There can be no assurances that the Company will successfully raise the financing required to complete the construction of the facility and begin cultivation.

As a result of the completion of the acquisition of AMS on December 31, 2019, the Company no longer fits the definition of a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. It filed the required disclosure on Form 8-K/A with the SEC on February 14, 2019, advising that it was no longer a shell company pursuant to the aforesaid Rule.

Effective February 25, 2019, the Company acquired 3,712,500 shares and 2,500,000 Warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock of GN Ventures, Ltd, Alberta, Canada, f/k/a Great Northern Cannabis, Ltd. (“GN”), in exchange for an aggregate of 7,988,963 shares of its Common Stock, from a former shareholder of GN who is now the Company’s President and CEO. While no assurances can be provided, the Company believes this is the initial step in its efforts to acquire all or a significant portion of the issued and outstanding stock of GN. In May 2020, the Company exchanged 5,507,400 of its shares for 3,671,597 shares of GN.

GN owns a 60,000 square foot cannabis cultivation and grow facility located on 38 acres in Stevensville, Ontario, Canada. Because the Company is a minority shareholder of GN and GN is a privately held company, the Company cannot confirm that the information it currently has on GN’s operations is complete or fully reliable. GN estimates annual total production capacity from the Stevensville facility of up to 12,500 kilograms of cannabis. GN believes the Stevensville facility to be complete, and GN’s subsidiary, 9869247 Canada Limited, received a license to cultivate from the Canadian Ministry of Health on July 5, 2019. As a result, in October 2019, GN commenced cultivation activities and began generating revenues during the first calendar quarter of 2020. The Company expects that it will obtain additional information on the business activities of GN as it has renewed discussions to acquire additional interests and is performing its due diligence procedures.

Effective June 11, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Sunniva, Inc, a British Columbia, Canada corporation (“Sunniva”) wherein the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Sunniva’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Sunniva Medical Inc. (“SMI”) and 1167025 B.C. LTD (“1167025”) for CAD $16.0 million in cash and a note in the principal amount of CAD $4.0 million. These companies are the current owners of the Sunniva Canada Campus, which includes construction assets for a planned 759,000 square-foot greenhouse located on an approximately 114-acre property in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia.

On June 8, 2020, the Company received a notice of termination of this Purchase Agreement, as amended, from Sunniva. As a result, the Company incurred a charge of $1,881,126 due to the write-off of its deposit to Sunniva, banking fees and prepaid expenses associated with the failed acquisition of Sunniva. The Company is in discussions with Sunniva, as well as an investment banker who received deposits from the Company, about recovering all or a portion of its deposits, banking fees, and prepaid expenses. The accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2020, do not reflect potential recovery amounts related to Sunniva and other parties, if any.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.

Covid-19 and the U.S’s response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.

Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements on December 31, 2019, and 2018, as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on May 27, 2020 with the SEC.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) “FASB Accounting Standard Codification™” (the “Codification”) which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

All figures are in U.S. dollars unless indicated otherwise.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported assets and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to investments, purchase price allocation of acquired assets, impairment of long-lived assets, intangibles, and goodwill. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $243,314 and $1,547, respectively.

Comprehensive Gain or Loss

ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company determined that it had items that represented components of comprehensive income and, therefore, has included a statement of comprehensive income in the financial statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible and other promissory notes are reviewed to determine whether they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately from the host contract and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into ten convertible note instruments amounting to $1,205,000 that contained embedded derivative features. As a result, the Company performed a Black Scholes analysis and recorded a derivative liability and an expense amounting to $1,748,237.

Beneficial Conversion Features

In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt or preferred stock instruments that have conversion features at fixed rates that are in-the-money when issued. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is generally calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. If certain other securities are issued with the convertible security, the proceeds are allocated among the different components. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible security is divided by the contractual number of the conversion shares to determine the effective conversion price, which is used to measure the BCF. The effective conversion price is used to compute the intrinsic value. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency and the reporting currency of the Company’s US operations is United States dollars, (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations is in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurred. The resulting translation adjustment is reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity in the statement of stockholders' equity. These translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of the Company's stockholders' equity.

Harmonized Sales Tax

The Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”) is a combination of the Canadian Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and Provincial Sales Tax (“PST”) that is applied to taxable goods and services. By fusing sales tax at the federal level with sales tax at the provincial level, the participating provinces harmonized both taxes into a single federal-provincial sales tax. HST is a consumption tax paid by the consumer at the point of sale (POS). The vendor or seller collects the tax proceeds from consumers by adding the HST rate to the cost of goods and services. They then remit the total collected tax to the government periodically.

The HST is in effect in five of the ten Canadian provinces: New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island. The HST is collected by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which remits the appropriate amounts to the participating provinces. The HST may differ across these five provinces, as each province will set its own PST rates within the HST. In provinces and territories which have not enacted the HST, the CRA collects only the 5% goods and services tax. The current rate in Ontario is 13%.

Capital Assets- Construction in Progress

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had $1,495,120 and $1,540,918 in construction in progress, respectively, comprised entirely of the construction in progress relating to the building acquired with the acquisition of AMS. Additionally, the Company had $139,444 and $143,201, respectively, in the land upon which the construction in process was situated.

Depreciation expense related to the construction in progress amounted to $-0- and $-0- for the periods ended September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants issued to purchase shares of its common stock as equity in accordance with FASB ASC 480, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 718, (Compensation-Stock Compensation), which establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees and non- employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of stock warrants was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. Stock options and warrants outstanding shares of common stock are excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share since their effect is anti-dilutive.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers. Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. The Company’s amortizable intangible assets consist of a marijuana license with a useful life of 15 years.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company-specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approach use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform an impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests.

The Company performed its annual fair value assessment on December 31, 2019, on its subsidiaries with material goodwill and intangible asset amounts on their respective balance sheets and determined that no impairment exists.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable. The long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value.

The Company evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets on September 30, 2020, and on December 31, 2019, respectively on its subsidiaries with material amounts on their respective balance sheets and determined that no impairment exists.

Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

The Company has adopted the guidance under ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured on fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value for financial instruments was determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and could not be determined with exact precision. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and the related party loan, each approximate their carrying value due either to their short length to maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Cost Method Investment

Our cost method investment consists of an investment in a private company in which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and financial activities. The investment is tested for impairment quarterly.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Income (loss) per share is presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), Earning per Share (Topic 260) which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the income statements. Basic EPS would exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities but does include the restricted shares of common stock issued. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock. Basic EPS calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Business Segments

The Company’s activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the year ended December 31, 2019, comprised a single segment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. However, the adoption of the standard had no impact on the Company’s financial statements since all Company leases are month to month, or short-term rental.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had $243,314 and $1,547 in cash on hand respectively, and no revenue-producing business or other sources of income. Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding liabilities totaling $14,988,391 and $246,599 in short term liquid assets.

In the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Reports of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm include an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Based on the Company’s current financial projections, it believes it does not have sufficient existing cash resources to fund its current limited operations.

It is the Company’s current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that these events will be satisfactorily completed or at terms acceptable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Any failure by the Company to successfully implement these plans would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the possible inability to continue operations.

NOTE 3. DEPOSITS

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had deposits of $-0- and $1,308,830 respectively. The $1,308,830 which was non-refundable and was intended to be credited against the purchase price of the Sunniva acquisition (referenced throughout this Report) if it had been successfully consummated. This balance was written off by the Company due to the termination of the Sunniva Purchase Agreement on June 8, 2020.

The prepaid acquisition expenses for Sunniva were written off during the period ended March 31, 2020 due to the termination of the Sunniva Agreement.

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has adopted the guidance under ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured on a fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data and requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these instruments approximate the interest rate on debt with similar terms available to the Company.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. Also, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes simulation model.

The Company’s derivative liabilities were adjusted to fair market value at the end of each reporting period, using Level 3 inputs.

The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on September 30, 2020:

NOTE 6. INVESTMENT

On February 25, 2019, the Company acquired 3,712,500 shares and 2,500,000 Warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of CAD$1.00 of GN Ventures, Ltd., Alberta, Canada, f/k/a Great Northern Cannabis, Ltd. (“GN”), in exchange for an aggregate of 7,988,963 shares of the Company’s Common Stock from a former shareholder of GN. On the date of purchase, the Company’s Common Stock was trading at $1.41 which values the purchase at $11,264,438. For balance sheet purposes the Company has treated this purchase using the cost method because the purchase consists of an investment in a private company in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over GN’s operating and financial activities.

The Company conducted an impairment test on December 31, 2019 and determined that an impairment existed resulting in a write-down of the investment by $7,070,841 to a current value of $4,193,597.

On May 8, 2020 the Company exchanged 5,507,400 of its shares for 3,671,597 shares of GN. These shares were value at $.67 each which represents the value of the GN shares as determined by the Company’s year-end impairment analysis and were recorded as an investment of $2,478,422. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s investment in GN was $6,672,019.

Additionally, the Company conducted an impairment test on September 30, 2020, and determined that no further impairment existed.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $1,146 and $-0-, respectively.

The facility acquired as part of the AMS acquisition is a 48,750 square foot marijuana grow facility built on a 6.7-acre parcel of land located in Hanover, Ontario Canada. To date, the exterior construction of the building has been completed; however, no interior construction has begun.

For construction in-progress assets, no depreciation is recorded until the asset is placed in service. When construction is completed, the asset should be reclassified as building, building improvements, or land improvement and should be capitalized and depreciated. Construction in progress includes all costs related to the construction of a medical cannabis facility. Cost also includes soft costs such as loan fees and interest and consulting fees and related expenses. The facility is not available for use and therefore not being amortized.

NOTE 8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $6,203,194 in goodwill and $1,690,371 in intangible assets, compared to $6,370,333 and $1,834,176, respectively. The goodwill and intangible assets arose as a result of the acquisition of AMS. Based on a valuation study performed on the acquisition, the Company determined that the marijuana license in process at AMS had a value of $1,871,000 which will be amortized over a fifteen-year period or approximately $124,733 per year.

The Company has recorded amortization expense of $98,293 and $96,009, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019.

NOTE 9. ACCOUNT PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accounts payables are recognized initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid. Accrued expenses are recognized based on the expected amount required to settle the obligation or liability.

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s accrued liabilities on September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

From April 1, 2018 through March 2019, the Company’s principal place of business was located at 2 Park Plaza, Suite 1200 – B. Irvine, CA 92614. This space was provided to the Company on a twelve-month term by a company of which Mr. Nicosia, one of the Company’s directors, serves as the President and CEO. The monthly rent at that location was $1,000; however, as of the date of this report, the Company has not made any rent payments and continues to accrue those amounts as accounts payable.

NOTE 11. CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The following tables set forth the components of the Company’s, convertible debentures as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

On July 8, 2019, the Company commenced a private offering of Units at a price of $50,000 per Unit, each Unit consisting of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and one $50,000 unsecured Convertible Note (“a Convertible Note”), which mature one year from the date of issuance and accrue interest at 5% per annum. These Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 31 Units in this offering for and received proceeds of $1,550,000 from six accredited investors. Since the Company’s stock price exceeded the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes and was immediately exercisable, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) and expense of $1,550,000 which was charged to interest expense with an offset to paid-in capital.

In addition, the 5,505,530 shares of Common Stock included in the Units were valued at $5,075,000. The excess above the $1,550,000 face value of the Convertible Notes or, $3,525,000, was charged to interest expense with an offset to paid-in capital. The remaining $1,550,000 was recorded as a Note discount of $1,550,000 to be amortized over the three years from the date of the Note to the maturity date. The Company recorded $552,602 in interest expense related to the amortization of note discount during the year ended December 31, 2019.

One of the noteholders also received 153,940 “returnable” shares in connection with issuance of the convertible notes. These shares are returnable to the Company if the underlying convertible note ($160,000) is redeemed before the passage of 180 days. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 the Company repaid the $160,000 Note, received the 153,940 shares back from the noteholder, and converted a $100,000 note plus accrued interest into 135,000 Common Shares of the Company.

The FASB has issued authoritative guidance whereby instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. The conversion prices of the Notes described above were not a fixed amount because they were either subject to an adjustment based on the occurrence of future offerings or events or they were variable. Since the number of shares is not explicitly limited, the Company is unable to conclude that enough authorized and unissued shares are available to settle the conversion option. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion features have been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

As of September 30, 2020, derivative liabilities were valued using a probability-weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model with the following assumptions:
