Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking
Statements
This
quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,”
“could,” “will,” “plan,” “future,” “continue, “and other
expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and
trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
based largely on our expectations or forecasts of future events,
can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to
various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a
number of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results
could differ materially from the forward-looking statements
contained in this document, and readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise. A wide variety of factors could cause or contribute
to such differences and could adversely impact revenues,
profitability, cash flows and capital needs. There can be no
assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this
document will, in fact, transpire or prove to be accurate. These
statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the
section entitled “Risk Factors” that may cause our or our
industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by any forward-looking statements.
Important
factors that may cause the actual results to differ from the
forward-looking statements, projections or other expectations
include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
● |
risk
that we will not be able to remediate identified material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and
disclosure controls and procedures; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risk
that we fail to meet the requirements of the agreements under which
we acquired our business interests, including any cash payments to
the business operations, which could result in the loss of our
right to continue to operate or develop the specific businesses
described in the agreements; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risk
that we will be unable to secure additional financing in the near
future in order to commence and sustain our planned development and
growth plans; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risk
that we cannot attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel,
particularly employees, consultants and contractors for our
operations; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risks
and uncertainties relating to the various industries and operations
we are currently engaged in; |
|
|
|
|
● |
results
of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies,
and the possibility that future growth, development or expansion
will not be consistent with our expectations; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risks
related to the inherent uncertainty of business operations
including profit, cost of goods, production costs and cost
estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and
expenses; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risks
related to commodity price fluctuations; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
uncertainty of profitability based upon our history of
losses; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risks
related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis
and on acceptable terms for our planned development
projects; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risks
related to environmental regulation and liability; |
|
|
|
|
● |
risks
related to tax assessments; |
|
|
|
|
● |
other
risks and uncertainties related to our prospects, properties and
business strategy. |
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements. You should not
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by
law, we do not undertake to update or revise any of the
forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual
results, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.

THE
GREATER CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For
the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited)
NOTE
A – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Nature
of Operations
The
Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in March
2014 as a limited liability company under the name, The Greater
Cannabis Company, LLC. The Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of
Sylios Corp (“Sylios”) until March 10, 2017.
On
July 31, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Class A common stock of Green C Corporation
(“Green C”) in exchange for 9,411,998 newly issued shares of the
Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Exchange”).
Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible
into 50 shares of common stock and is entitled to vote 50 votes per
share on all matters as a class with holders of common stock. Since
after the Exchange was consummated, the former shareholders of
Green C and their designees owned approximately 94% of the issued
and outstanding voting shares of the Company, Green C is the
acquirer for accounting purposes. Prior to the Exchange, the
Company had no assets and nominal business operations. Accordingly,
the Exchange has been treated for accounting purposes as a
recapitalization by the accounting acquirer, Green C, and the
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company
reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Green C from its
inception on December 21, 2017 to July 31, 2018 and combined with
the Company thereafter.
Green
C was incorporated on December 21, 2017 under the laws of the
Province of Ontario Canada with its principal place of business in
North York, Ontario.
Green
C was the owner of an exclusive, worldwide license for an eluting
transmucosal patch platform (“ETP”) for non-invasive drug delivery
in the cannabis field as further described in the exclusive license
agreement dated June 21, 2018 with Pharmedica Ltd. (see Note
J).
The
Company’s business plan is to (i) commercialize its ETP technology
and (ii) concentrate on cannabis related investment and development
opportunities through direct equity investments, joint ventures,
licensing agreements or acquisitions.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The
Greater Cannabis Company, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries
Green C Corporation and Biocanrx Inc.
THE
GREATER CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For
the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited)
NOTE
A – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (continued)
Interim
Financial Statements
The
interim financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the
three and nne months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are
unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that,
in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation
of the information contained herein. Operating results for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2020.
Certain
information and finance disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules
and regulations. These unaudited financial statements should be
read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes
for the year ended December 31, 2019 as included in our report on
Form 10-K.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Investments
having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily
convertible into cash are considered to be cash equivalents. For
the periods presented, the Company had no cash
equivalents.
Income
Taxes
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 -
Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the
asset and liability method. The asset and liability method measures
deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect
at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis
of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the
financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or
liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they
occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely
than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
We
expect to recognize the financial statement benefit of an uncertain
tax position only after considering the probability that a tax
authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax
positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount to
be recognized in the financial statements will be the benefit
expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For
tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement
benefit is recognized. As of September 30, 2020, we had no
uncertain tax positions. We recognize interest and penalties, if
any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and
administrative expenses. We currently have no foreign federal or
state tax examinations nor have we had any foreign federal or state
examinations since our inception. To date, we have not incurred any
interest or tax penalties.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Financial
Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We
follow ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 establishes a common definition
for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that requires the
use of fair value measurements that establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value
measurements.
ASC
820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally,
ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level

Observable
inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities |
Level
2: |

Level

Unobservable
inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require
the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions. |
The
carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair
value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial
assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that
are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is
prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a
non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when
a significant event occurs. Except for derivative liabilities, we
had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a
recurring or nonrecurring basis during the reporting
periods.
Derivative
Liabilities
We
evaluate convertible notes payable, stock options, stock warrants
or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be
separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic
815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in
Entity’s Own Equity.
The
result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of
a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and
is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a
liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a
liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of
operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or
exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to
fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is
reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially
classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under
ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the
fair value of the instrument on the reclassification
date.
Long-lived
Assets
Long-lived
assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets are
periodically reviewed for impairment. We test for impairment losses
on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment
to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations
involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future
cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different
from those estimated by management which could have a material
effect on our reporting results and financial positions. Fair value
is determined through various valuation techniques including
discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party
independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Equity
Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or
Services
Issuances
of our common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services 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 measurement date for the fair value of the
equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined
at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for
performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a
“performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered
to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for
nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is
complete.
Although
situations may arise in which counter performance may be required
over a period of time, the equity award granted to the party
performing the service may be fully vested and non-forfeitable on
the date of the agreement. As a result, in this situation in which
vesting periods do not exist if the instruments are fully vested on
the date of agreement, we determine such date to be the measurement
date and will record the estimated fair market value of the
instruments granted as a prepaid expense and amortize such amount
to expense over the contract period. When it is appropriate for us
to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting
periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition
of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at
the then-current fair values.
Related
Parties
A
party is considered to be related to us if the party directly or
indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with us. Related parties
also include our principal owners, our management, members of the
immediate families of our principal owners and our management and
other parties with which we may deal if one party controls or can
significantly influence the management or operating policies of the
other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be
prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party
which can significantly influence the management or operating
policies of the transacting parties, or if it has an ownership
interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly
influence the other to an extent that one or more of the
transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own
separate interests, is also a related party.

Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
from product sales will be recognized when all of the following
criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectability is
reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred.
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. For the periods presented, we had
no advertising costs.
Loss
per Share
We
compute net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260. The ASC
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements
for loss per share for entities with publicly held common
stock.
Basic
loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net
loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive securities (such as
stock options, warrants and convertible securities) outstanding.
Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net
loss per share are excluded from the calculation. For the periods
presented, the Company excluded 470,599,900 shares relating to the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note G), shares relating
to convertible notes payable to third parties (Please see
NOTE E - NOTES PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES for further
information) and shares relating to outstanding warrants (Please
see NOTE G - CAPITAL STOCK AND WARRANTS for further
information) from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as
the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Recently
Enacted Accounting Standards
In
May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all prior revenue
recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU
2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services
are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those
goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to
achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and
estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process
than are required under prior U.S. GAAP. As amended by the FASB in
July 2015, the standard became effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. ASU
2014-09 has had no impact on our Financial statements for the
periods presented.

POLICIES (continued)
In
March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations,
to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent
considerations and address how an entity should assess whether it
is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or
more parties. The effective date and transition requirements for
these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition
requirements of ASU 2014-09 (discussed above). ASU 2016-08 has had
no impact on our Financial statements for the periods
presentd.
In
April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and
Licensing, to clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: 1)
identifying performance obligations, and 2) the licensing
implementation guidance. The effective date and transition
requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective
date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 (discussed above).
ASU 2016-10 has had no impact on our financial statements for the
periods presented.
On
July 13, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11. Among other
things, ASU 2017-11 provides guidance that eliminates the
requirement to consider “down round” features when determining
whether certain financial instruments or embedded features are
indexed to an entity’s stock and need to be classified as
liabilities. ASU 2017-11 provides for entities to recognize the
effect of a down round feature only when it is triggered and then
as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common
stockholders in basic earnings per share. The guidance became
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2018.
Accordingly,
effective January 1, 2019, the Company reduced the derivative
liability of warrants with “down round” features (and do not
contain variable conversion features) of $108,427 at December 31,
2018 to $0 and recognized a $108,427 cumulative effect adjustment
reduction of accumulated deficit.

B - GOING CONCERN
Under
ASC 205-40, we have the responsibility to evaluate whether
conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability
to meet our future obligations as they become due within one year
after the date the financial statements are issued. As required by
this standard, our evaluation shall initially not take into
consideration the potential mitigating effects of our plans that
have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial
statements are issued.
In
performing the first step of this assessment, we concluded that the
following conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
meet our financial obligations as they become due. As of September
30 2020, the Company had cash of $178,632, total current
liabilities of $925,196 and negative working capital of $722,989.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred a net
loss of $568,380 and used $260,698 cash from operating activities.
We expect to continue to incur negative cash flows until such time
as our business generates sufficient cash inflows to finance our
operations and debt service requirements.
In
performing the second step of this assessment, we are required to
evaluate whether our plans to mitigate the conditions above
alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to meet our
obligations as they become due within one year after the date that
the financial statements are issued. Our future plans include
securing additional funding sources.
There
is no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year
or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will
be available through external sources. The lack of additional
capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from
operations or to raise capital from external sources would force
the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would,
therefore, have a material effect on the business. Furthermore,
there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if
available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will
not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing
shareholders. We have therefore concluded there is substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through
November 2021.
The
accompanying consolidated 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on
the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of
the uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going
concern.

C – RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT
On

Company to pay KTV $25,000 on January 30, 2020 (which was paid
January 30,2020) and to make other investments in opportunities to
be pursued by KTV and/or payments to KTV to enable KTV to pursue
and secure Cannabidiol (“CBD”) opportunities. The Agreement
provides the Company an exclusive right of first refusal to
participate in all CBD opportunities to be pursued by KTV for a
term of five years. The $25,000 cost for this Agreement is being
amortized over the five year term of the Agreement.

(i) On February 12, 2019, (the “Issue Date”) the Company issued a
6% Convertible Redeemable Note to Eagle Equities, LLC (“Eagle”),
having a principal amount of $1,200,000 of which $96,000
constituted an original issue discount (the “Eagle Note”). In
connection with the Eagle Note, the Company and Eagle entered into
a Securities Purchase Agreement. Eagle is to fund the $ 1,104,000
purchase price of the Eagle Note in tranches. The first tranche of
$ 250,000 was received by the Company on February 13, 2019. The
second tranche of $ 166,500 was received by the Company on January
17, 2020, the third tranche of $ 93,666 was received by the Company
on February 12, 2020, and the fourth tranche of $ 42,500 was
received by the Company on June 3, 2020. The loans are repayable
one year from their respective funding dates and are convertible at

12, 2020 and were convertible into common stock at a conversion
price equal to 75% of the lowest Trading Price during the 15
Trading Day Period prior to the Conversion Date. The second
Exchange Agreement provided for the reversal of the February 14,
2019 exchange agreement pursuant to which certain warrants then

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited)
NOTE F - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)
The Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) contain a variable
conversion feature based on the future trading price of the
Company’s common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes is indeterminate.
The fair value of the derivative liability was measured at the
respective issuance dates and quarterly thereafter using the Black
Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used for the calculation
of the derivative liability of the Notes at September 30, 2020 were
(1) stock price of $.0038 per share, (2) conversion prices ranging
from $.0017 to $.0023 per share, (3) terms ranging from 119 days to
246 days, (4) expected volatility of 142.94%, and (5) risk free
interest rates ranging from .10% to .11%.
Assumptions used for the calculations of the derivative liability
of the Notes at December 31, 2019 were (1) stock price of $ .0330
per share, (2) conversion prices ranging from $ .01885 to $ .02175
per share, (3) terms ranging from 43 days to 293 days, (4) expected
volatility of 142,94%, and (5) risk free interest rates ranging
from 1.50% to 1.60%.

for three new convertible notes payable to Emet in the total amount
of $25,587. The new notes bore interest at 6%, were due on February
12, 2020 and were convertible into common stock at a conversion
price equal to 75% of the lowest Trading Price during the 15
Trading Day Period prior to the Conversion Date. The second
Exchange Agreement provided for the reversal of the February 14,

price of $ 0.001 per share (rather than the Variable Conversion

price. The Company has notified Emet that it disagrees with Emet’s

NOTE G - CAPITAL STOCK AND WARRANTS (continued)
At the date hereof, the Company has no outstanding warrants.
NOTE H - INCOME TAXES
The Company and its United States subsidiaries expect to file
consolidated Federal income tax returns. Green C Corporation, its

NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Pharmedica Exclusive License Agreement
On June 21, 2018, Green C executed an Exclusive License Agreement
with Pharmedica, Ltd. (“Pharmedica”), an Israeli company, to
exploit certain Pharmedica intellectual property for the
development and distribution of a certain Licensed Product involved
in the transmucosal delivery of medicinal or recreational cannabis.
The agreement provides for Green C payments to Pharmedica of a
$100,000 license fee (which was paid by 2591028 Ontario Limited, an
entity affiliated with Green C’s Chief Executive Officer, on June
26, 2018) and annual royalties at a rate of 5% of the Net Sales of
the Licensed Product subject to a Minimum Annual Royalty of
$50,000. The agreement also provides for certain milestones to be
accomplished by Green C in order for Green C to retain the license.
Green C and Pharmedica each may terminate the agreement upon the
occurrence of a material breach by the other party of its
obligations under the agreement and such other party’s failure to
remedy such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the other
party within thirty (30) days after being requested in writing to
do so.
The Company generated only minimal revenues from this asset through
December 31, 2019 and did not pay the Year 1 Minimum Annual Royalty
of $50,000 due Pharmedica. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment
charge of $69,749 at December 31, 2019 and reduced the $69,749
remaining carrying value of this intangible asset to $0.
On September 2, 2020, Green C notified Pharmedica of Green C’s
termination of the Exclusive License Agreement and Green C’s
intention to wind up Green C.
On September 17, 2020, Pharmedica notified Green C of Pharmedica’s
acceptance of Green C’s proposal to terminate the license agreement
and Pharmedica’s intention not to burden Green C further.
Accordingly, we recorded “Forgiveness of Royalty Payable” other
income of $50,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and
reduced the $50,000 “Accrued Royalties” liability balance to
$0.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Current Business
The Greater Cannabis Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in
March 2014 as a limited liability company under the name, The
Greater Cannabis Company, LLC. The Company remained a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sylios Corp (“Sylios”) until March 2017.
On July 31, 2018, the Company entered into and consummated a
voluntary share exchange transaction with Green C Corporation, a
company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario
(“Green C”) and the shareholders of Green C (the “Selling
Shareholders”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement by and among
the Company, Green C and the Selling Shareholders (the “Exchange
Agreement”).
In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company
issued 9,411,998 shares of its preferred stock, par value $0.001
(the “Shares”) to the Selling Shareholders and certain individuals
named below (collectively, the “Shareholder Group”) in exchange for
100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Green C (the
“Exchange Transaction”). As a result of the Exchange Transaction,
the Selling Shareholders acquired 94.12% of the Company’s
authorized shares of preferred stock, Green C became the Company’s
wholly-owned subsidiary and the Company acquired 100% of the
business and operations of Green C.
Green C was the owner of an exclusive, worldwide license for an
eluting transmucosal patch platform (“ETP”) for non-invasive drug
delivery in the cannabis field for medical treatment as further
described in the exclusive license agreement dated September 21,
2018 with Pharmedica Ltd. A copy of the License Agreement is
incorporated by reference to this report as Exhibit [ ] (the
“License Agreement”).
On September 2, 2020, Green C notified Pharmedica Ltd.
(“Pharmedica”) of Green C’s termination of the License Agreement
and Green C’s intention to wind up Green C.
On September 17, 2020, Pharmedica notified Green C of Pharmedica’s
acceptance of Green C’s proposal to terminate the license agreement
and Pharmedica’s intention not to burden Green C further.
The Company’s business plan is to (i) commercialize its ETP
technology and (ii) concentrate on cannabis related investment and
development opportunities through direct equity investments, joint
ventures, licensing agreements or acquisitions.
Market Conditions
The cannabis industry continues to exceed other industries’ growth
rates and retain the title of the “fastest-growing industry in the
U.S.” as the Huffington Post reported in 2015.
According to Forbes Magazine
(https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomaspellechia/2018/06/26/in-2017-beyond-u-s-enjoys-the-highest-legal-cannabis-market-share-worldwide/#14d7b2102d20),
marijuana sales in North America reached $9.3 billion in 2017,
reflecting 34% growth over 2015 ($5.04 billion), according to
ArcView Market Research/BDS Analytics. The research firm projects
sales to jump to $21.6 billion by 2021, representing a 26% compound
annual growth rate (CAGR).
While the industry is growing rapidly, the cannabis industry faces
four major obstacles that challenge its growth and profitability.
First, the cultivation of cannabis is a very capital-intensive
enterprise. Many cannabis entrepreneurs do not have access to the
capital required to build the infrastructure required to meet
growing demand and sales projections. Traditional sources of
financing, such as banks, are not available currently to cannabis
producers and retailers. Second, there is a significant shortage of
knowledge related to virtually all areas of the cannabis business.
When new states are added to the list of regulated cannabis
markets, there will be a scarcity of experience and expertise to
serve the needs of growers and retailers in these states. Third,
the majority of states do not allow access to medical cannabis for
its patients. This presents an obstacle to the medical cannabis
industry and requires financial resources and dedicated advocacy to
change regulations on the state level. Fourth, as explained below,
marijuana is illegal under federal law.
Government Regulations
Cannabis is currently a Schedule I controlled substance under the
Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”) and is, therefore, illegal under
federal law. Even in those states in which the use of cannabis has
been legalized pursuant to state law, its use, possession or
cultivation remains a violation of federal law. A Schedule I
controlled substance is defined as one that has no currently
accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use
under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The U.S.
Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) defines Schedule I controlled
substances as “the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules
with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence.” If
the federal government decides to enforce the CSA in Colorado with
respect to cannabis, persons that are charged with distributing,
possessing with intent to distribute or growing cannabis could be
subject to fines and/or terms of imprisonment, the maximum being
life imprisonment and a $50 million fine.
Notwithstanding the CSA, as of the date of this filing, 33 U.S.
states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Guam
and Puerto Rico allow their residents to use medical cannabis and
11 states have legalized recreational marijuana. Such state and
territorial laws are in conflict with the federal CSA, which makes
cannabis use and possession illegal at the federal level.
In light of such conflict between federal laws and state laws
regarding cannabis, the previous administration under President
Obama had effectively stated that it was not an efficient use of
resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute
those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use
and distribution of medical cannabis. For example, the prior DOJ
Deputy Attorney General of the Obama administration, James M. Cole,
issued a memorandum (the “Cole Memo”) to all United States
Attorneys providing updated guidance to federal prosecutors
concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA (see “-The Cole
Memo”). In addition, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
(“FinCEN”) provided guidelines (the “FinCEN Guidelines”) on
February 14, 2014, regarding how financial institutions can provide
services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their Bank
Secrecy Act (“BSA”) obligations (see “-FinCEN”).
Additional existing and pending legislation provides, or seeks to
provide, protection to persons acting in violation of federal law
but in compliance with state laws regarding cannabis. The
Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science and
Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which funds the DOJ,
prohibits the DOJ from using funds to prevent states with medical
cannabis laws from implementing such laws. The Rohrabacher-Farr
Amendment is effective through April 28, 2017, but as an amendment
to an appropriations bill, it must be renewed annually. The
Compassionate Access Compassionate Access, Research Expansion, and
Respect States Act (the “CARERS Act”) has been introduced in the
U.S. Senate, which proposes to reclassify cannabis under the CSA to
Schedule II, thereby changing the plant from a federally
criminalized substance to one that has recognized medical uses.
More recently, the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017 has
been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, which
proposes to exclude persons who produce, possess, distribute,
dispense, administer or deliver marijuana in compliance with state
laws from the regulatory controls and administrative, civil and
criminal penalties of the CSA.
However, as of the date of this filing, neither the CARERS Act nor
the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017 has been enacted, the
Rohrabacher-Blumenauer (formerly known as the Rohrabacher-Farr
Amendment) has been renewed through September, 2018, and the new
administration under President Trump has not yet indicated whether
it will change the previously stated policy of low-priority
enforcement of federal laws related to cannabis set forth in the
Cole Memo or the FinCEN Guidelines. The Trump administration could
change this policy and decide to strongly enforce the federal laws
applicable to cannabis. Any such change in the federal government’s
enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant
financial damage to us. While we do not currently harvest,
distribute or sell cannabis, we may be irreparably harmed by a
change in enforcement policies of the federal government. However,
as of the date of this filing, we have provided products and
services to state-approved cannabis cultivators and dispensary
facilities. As a result of our providing ancillary products and
services to state-approved cannabis cultivators and dispensary
facilities, we could be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal
activities, a violation of federal law.
Absent any future changes in cannabis-related policies under the
Trump administration, we intend to remain within the guidelines
outlined in the Cole Memo (see “-The Cole Memo”) and the FinCEN
Guidelines (see “-FinCEN”), where applicable; however, we cannot
provide assurance that we are in full compliance with the Cole
Memo, the FinCEN Guidelines or any applicable federal laws or
regulations.
Cole Memo
Because of the discrepancy between the laws in some states, which
permit the distribution and sale of medical and recreational
cannabis, from federal law that prohibits any such activities, DOJ
Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole issued the Cole Memo
concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA. The Cole Memo
guidance applies to all of the DOJ’s federal enforcement activity,
including civil enforcement and criminal investigations and
prosecutions, concerning cannabis in all states.
The Cole Memo reiterates Congress’s determination that cannabis is
a dangerous drug and that the illegal distribution and sale of
cannabis is a serious crime that provides a significant source of
revenue to large-scale criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels.
The Cole Memo notes that the DOJ is committed to enforcement of the
CSA consistent with those determinations. It also notes that the
DOJ is committed to using its investigative and prosecutorial
resources to address the most significant threats in the most
effective, consistent, and rational way. In furtherance of those
objectives, the Cole Memo provides guidance to DOJ attorneys and
law enforcement to focus their enforcement resources on persons or
organizations whose conduct interferes with any one or more of the
following important priorities (the “Enforcement Priorities”) in
preventing:
|
● |
the
distribution of cannabis to minors; |
|
|
|
|
● |
revenue from the sale of cannabis from going to
criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
diversion of cannabis from states where it is legal under state law
in some form to other states; |
|
|
|
|
● |
state-authorized cannabis activity from being
used as a cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal
drugs or other illegal activity; |
|
|
|
|
● |
violence and the use of firearms in the
cultivation and distribution of cannabis; |
|
|
|
|
● |
drugged driving and the exacerbation of other
adverse public health consequences associated with cannabis
use; |
|

We intend to conduct rigorous due diligence to verify the legality
of all activities that we engage in and ensure that our activities
do not interfere with any of the Enforcement Priorities set forth
in the Cole Memo.
The Cole Memo is meant only as a guide for United States Attorneys
and does not alter in any way the Department of Justice’s authority
to enforce Federal law, including Federal laws relating to
cannabis, regardless of state law.
Rohrabacher Farr Amendment
On December 16, 2014, H.R. 83 - Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2015 was enacted and included a provision known
as the “Rohrabacher Farr Amendment” which states:
None of the funds made available in this Act to the Department of
Justice may be used, with respect to the States of Alabama, Alaska,
Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of
Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont,
Washington, and Wisconsin, to prevent such States from implementing
their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution,
possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.
The Rohrabacher Farr Amendment represents one of the first times in
recent history that Congress has taken action indicating support of
medical cannabis. The Rohrabacher Farr Amendment was renewed by
Congress in 2015, but expired in September 2018. It is again up for
renewal, although there is no assurance that it will be
renewed.
The Rohrabacher Farr Amendment would appear to protect the right of
the states to determine their own laws on medical cannabis use;
however, the actual effects of the amendment are still unclear. The
Rohrabacher Farr Amendment did not remove the federal ban on
medical cannabis and cannabis remains regulated as a Schedule I
controlled substance. Further, the United States Department of
Justice has interpreted the Rohrabacher Farr Amendment as only
preventing federal action that prevents states from creating and
implementing cannabis laws - not against the individuals or
businesses that actually carry out cannabis laws - and has
continued to sporadically commence enforcement actions against
individuals or businesses participating in the cannabis industry
despite such participation being legal under state law. Whether
this interpretation is appropriate is still being litigated, and,
while an initial district court decision has not supported the
Department of Justice’s interpretation, such decision is currently
under appellate review. In addition, no matter what interpretation
is adopted by the courts, there is no question that the Rohrabacher
Farr Amendment does not protect any party not in full compliance
with state medicinal cannabis laws.
Potential Changes to Federal Laws and Enforcement
Priorities
Although the Department of Justice has stated in the Cole Memo that
it is not an efficient use of limited resources to direct federal
law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by
state laws allowing the use and distribution of medical cannabis,
there is no guarantee that the Department of Justice’s position
will not change regarding the low-priority enforcement of federal
laws. Further, the United States has a new administration in 2017,
which could introduce a less favorable cannabis enforcement policy.
There can be no assurances that any future administration would not
change the current enforcement policy and decide to strongly
enforce the federal laws.
In light of the 2005 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Gonzales v.
Raich, under the commerce clause of the constitution, Congress may
pass laws to criminalize the production and use of home-grown
cannabis even where states have approved its use for medicinal
purposes, which leads to the conclusion that the Controlled
Substances Act may preempt state laws relating to any
cannabis-related activity. Any such change in the federal
enforcement program of current federal laws could cause significant
financial damage to our business. While we do not directly harvest,
distribute, or distribute cannabis today, we still may be deemed to
be violating federal law and may be irreparably harmed by a change
in enforcement by the federal or state governments.
Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018
On December 20, 2018, the United States federal government passed
The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, which amends the
Controlled Substances Act of 1970 concerning cannabis for the first
time. Specifically, it refers to a new definition of “hemp” as
being any C. Sativa plant that has Tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”)
below 0.3% on a dry weight basis. The effect of this act is to
legalize hemp or, in other words, strains of cannabis with low
THC.
Legalizing strains that are low in THC is important for the nascent
cannabis industry. Hemp is a great source of cannabidiol (“CBD”).
As at the date hereof, CBD has been legalized in some form or
another in all but 3 states – Idaho, Nebraska and South Dakota. So
legalizing its production, even with significant oversight, opens
the door for legal cannabis growing in the United States in a way
that has not been available to farms, companies, and consumers
since the at the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

for the effect of inflation on our operations or our financial
position. Amounts shown for costs and expenses reflect historical
cost and do not necessarily represent replacement cost. The net
operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the
effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations
with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other
inflation adjustments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The SEC issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary
Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies”
suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and
commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial
Reporting Release No. 60, the SEC has defined the most critical
accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the
portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results
and require management to make its most difficult and subjective
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of
matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we
have identified the following significant policies as critical to
the understanding of our financial statements. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make a variety of
estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (ii) the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods covered by the financial statements. Our management expects
to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that
are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and
assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties
increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex.
Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are
reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these
estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual
results may have a material impact on our results.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do 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 that are material to investors.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this
information.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the
Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed
to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s
management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s
President concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files
or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s
President, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2020, there was no change in
internal control over financial reporting that has materially
affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal
control over financial reporting.
PART II- OTHER
INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
We
know of no pending proceedings to which any director, member of
senior management, or affiliate is either a party adverse to us or
has a material interest adverse to us.
|
● |
None
of our executive officers or directors have (i) been involved in
any bankruptcy proceedings within the last five years, (ii) been
convicted in or has pending any criminal proceedings (other than
traffic violations and other minor offenses), (iii) been subject to
any order, judgment or decree enjoining, barring, suspending or
otherwise limiting involvement in any type of business, securities
or banking activity or (iv) been found to have violated any
Federal, state or provincial securities or commodities law and such
finding has not been reversed, suspended or vacated. |
ITEM 1A. RISK
FACTORS
Risks Associated to Our Business and
Industry
Coronavirus has slowed down our business growth
There
continues to be a significant and growing volatility and
uncertainty in the global economy due to the Coronavirus pandemic
affecting all business sectors and industries. To-date, the
fulfillment of our first order of eluting patches has been delayed
due to the Coronavirus shutdown in the United States. It is not
clear if and when business activity will resume to the point where
we will be able to re-start work on our first order. If business
activity does not resume in a timely manner, then our first order
may be cancelled and subsequent orders may not be forthcoming.
Further or future downturns may adversely affect business
development and commercial activity and could materially and
adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and
growth strategy.
Our proposed business is dependent on laws pertaining to the
marijuana industry.
Continued
development of the marijuana industry is dependent upon continued
legislative authorization and/or voter approved referenda of
marijuana at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or
halt progress in this area. Further, progress for the industry,
while encouraging, is not assured. While there may be ample public
support for legislative action, numerous factors impact the
legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt
use of marijuana, which would negatively impact our proposed
business.
As of
the date hereof, 33 states and the District of Columbia allow its
citizens to use medical marijuana and 11 states have legalized
recreational marijuana. The state laws are in conflict with the
federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use,
cultivation and/or possession illegal on a national level. As
discussed in the “Cole Memo” the former Obama administration
has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources
to direct law federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those
lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and
distribution of medical marijuana. Any change in the federal
government’s enforcement of current federal laws could cause
significant financial damage to us and our shareholders.
All strains of cannabis other than hemp remain illegal under
Federal law.
Despite
the development of a legal cannabis industry under the laws of
certain states and the legalization of hemp under the Agriculture
Improvement Act of 2018, the state laws legalizing medical and
adult cannabis use are in conflict with the Federal Controlled
Substances Act, which classifies cannabis as a “Schedule-I”
controlled substance and makes cannabis use and possession illegal
on a national level. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that
the Federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize
cannabis, even for medical purposes, and thus Federal law
criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize
its use. However, the Obama Administration determined that it is
not an efficient use of resources to direct Federal law enforcement
agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state laws allowing
the use and distribution of medical and recreational cannabis.
There is no guarantee that the Trump Administration will not change
the Federal government’s stated policy regarding the low-priority
enforcement of Federal laws in states where cannabis has been
legalized. Any such change in the Federal government’s enforcement
of Federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us and
our shareholders.
Laws and regulations affecting the medical marijuana industry are
constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our proposed
operations.
Local,
state and federal medical marijuana laws and regulations are broad
in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could
require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or
alter our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or
allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and
result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition,
it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that
will be directly applicable to our proposed business. We cannot
predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations
or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional
governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures,
when and if promulgated, could have on our business.
As the possession and use of strains of cannabis that are not hemp
is illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act, we may be
deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the
services that we provide to users and advertisers. As a result, we
may be subject to enforcement actions by law enforcement
authorities, which would materially and adversely affect our
business.
Under
Federal law, and more specifically the Federal Controlled
Substances Act, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of
non-hemp cannabis is illegal. Our business provides services to
customers that are engaged in the business of possession, use,
cultivation, and/or transfer of cannabis. As a result, law
enforcement authorities, in their attempt to regulate the illegal
use of cannabis, may seek to bring an action or actions against us,
including, but not limited, to a claim of aiding and abetting
another’s criminal activities. The Federal aiding and abetting
statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the
United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or
procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” 18 U.S.C.
§2(a). As a result of such an action, we may be forced to cease
operations and our investors could lose their entire investment.
Such an action would have a material negative effect on our
business and operations.
Our potential customers, clients and companies which we may elect
to invest directly with may have difficulty accessing the service
of banks, which may make it difficult for them to
operate.
On
February 14, 2014, the U.S. government issued rules allowing banks
to legally provide financial services to state-licensed cannabis
businesses. A memorandum issued by the Justice Department to
federal prosecutors reiterated guidance previously given, this time
to the financial industry that banks can do business with legal
marijuana businesses and “may not” be prosecuted. FinCEN issued
guidelines to banks noting that it is possible to provide financial
services to state-licensed cannabis businesses and still be in
compliance with federal anti-money laundering laws. The guidance,
however, falls short of the explicit legal authorization that
banking industry officials had requested the government provide,
and, to date, it is not clear if any banks have relied on the
guidance to take on legal cannabis companies as clients. The
aforementioned policy can be changed, including in connection with
a change in presidential administration, and any policy reversal
and or retraction could result in legal cannabis businesses losing
access to the banking industry.
Because
the use, sale and distribution of cannabis remains illegal under
federal law, many banks will not accept deposits from or provide
other bank services to businesses involved with cannabis. The
inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for our
existing and potential customers, clients and tenants to operate
and may make it difficult for them to contract with us.
We are highly dependent on the services of key executives, the loss
of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic
direction. If we lose key management or significant personnel,
cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other
personnel or experience increases in our compensation costs, our
business may materially suffer.
We
are highly dependent on our management team, specifically Aitan
Zacharin. If we lose key employees, our business may suffer.
Furthermore, our future success will also depend in part on the
continued service of our management personnel and our ability to
identify, hire, and retain additional key personnel. We do not
carry “key-man” life insurance on the lives of any of our
executives, employees or advisors. We experience intense
competition for qualified personnel and may be unable to attract
and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our
business. Because of this competition, our compensation costs may
increase significantly.
We will need to raise additional capital to continue operations
over the coming year.
We
anticipate the need to raise approximately $1,500,000 in capital to
fund our operations through December 31, 2020. We expect to use
these cash proceeds primarily for business development, testing,
licensing and operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be able
to raise these required funds or generate sufficient revenue to
remain operational.
Government actions or digital distribution platform restrictions
could result in our products and services being unavailable in
certain geographic regions, harming future
growth.
Due
to our connections to the cannabis industry, governments and
government agencies could ban or cause our ETP technology to become
unavailable in certain regions and jurisdictions. This could
greatly impair or prevent us from entering the market and
commercializing our technology.
Failure to generate interest in our ETP technology could greatly
harm our business model.
Our
business model is reliant on its ability to attract and retain
players in the cannabis market to use our ETP technology. If we are
unable to convince such players to utilize our ETP technology, our
business will not grow and we will not generate any
revenues.
We may not be able to compete successfully with other established
companies offering the same or similar services and, as a result,
we may not achieve our projected revenue and user
targets.
If we
are unable to compete successfully with other businesses in our
existing market, we may not achieve our projected revenue and/or
customer targets. We compete with both start-up and established
retail and technology companies. Compared to our business, some of
our competitors may have greater financial and other resources,
have been in business longer, have greater name recognition and be
better established in the technological or cannabis
markets.
Our lack of adequate D&O insurance may also make it difficult
for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and
officers.
We
may in the future be subject to additional litigation, including
potential class action and stockholder derivative actions. Risks
associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and
quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for
significant periods of time. To date, we have not obtained
directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance. While
neither Florida law nor our Articles of Incorporation or bylaws
require us to indemnify or advance expenses to our officers and
directors involved in such a legal action, we have entered into an
indemnification agreement with our President and intend to enter
into similar agreements with other officers and directors in the
future. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would
pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject
to legal action based on their service to the Company could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations and liquidity. Furthermore, our lack of adequate D&O
insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract
talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely
affect our business.
We expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting
obligations as a public company. In addition, failure to maintain
adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead
to errors in our financial reporting and could harm our ability to
manage our expenses.
We
estimate that it will cost approximately $50,000 annually to
maintain the proper management and financial controls for our
filings required as a public reporting company. In addition, if we
do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel,
processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our
financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a
decline in our stock price and adversely affect our ability to
raise capital.
Our ETP Technology may require FDA approval.
The
use of our ETP technology may be subject to FDA, or equivalent
regulatory body approval. If so, obtaining such approval will
require a substantial investment of funds and may take years. There
is no assurance that we will be able to obtain regulatory approval
as may be required prior to entering certain markets.
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 liabilities.
Insurance
that is otherwise readily available, such as workers’ compensation,
general liability, and directors and officer’s insurance, is more
difficult for us to find and more expensive, because we are a
service provider 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. In 2020, The Greater
Cannabis Company, Inc. carries general liability insurance. We do
not currently hold any other forms of insurance, including
directors’ and officers’ insurance. Because we do not have any
other types of insurance, if we are made a party of a legal action,
we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that
occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us
to cease operations.
Participants in the cannabis industry may have difficulty accessing
the service of banks, which may make it difficult for us to
operate.
Despite
recent rules issued by the United States Department of the Treasury
mitigating the risk to banks who do business with cannabis
companies operating in compliance with applicable state laws, as
well as recent guidance from the United States Department of
Justice, banks remain wary of accepting funds from businesses in
the cannabis industry. Since the use of cannabis remains illegal
under Federal law, there remains a compelling argument that banks
may be in violation of Federal law when accepting for deposit funds
derived from the sale or distribution of cannabis and/or related
products. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis
industry continue to have trouble establishing banking
relationships. Our inability to open a bank account may make it
difficult (and potentially impossible) for us, or some of our
advertisers, to do business with us.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
There is currently limited liquidity of shares of our common
stock.
Our
common stock was first quoted for trading in the quarter that ended
September 30, 2018.
Failure
to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect its
value and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your
shares. Even if a market for common stock does develop, the market
price of common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the
uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the
profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim
financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many
of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the
market price of our common stock.
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we
could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the
ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary
market.
Companies
trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board must be reporting
issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in
order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin
Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could
be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of
broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of
stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In
addition, we may be unable to get relisted on the OTC Bulletin
Board, which may have an adverse material effect on the
Company.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on
investment may be limited to the value of our common
stock.
We do
not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on
earnings, financial condition and other business and economic
factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may
consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings,
if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base
and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance
that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and
pay dividends to the holders of our common stock, and in any event,
a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion
of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our common
stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will
only occur if its stock price appreciates.
Authorization of preferred stock.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and
preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors.
Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without
stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend,
liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could
adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of
the common stock.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation also authorizes the issuance from time
to time of shares of its stock of any class, whether now or
hererafter authorized, or securities convertible into shares of its
stock of any class, whether now or hereafter authorized, for such
consideration as the Board of Director(s) may deem advisable,
subject to such restrictions or limitation, if any, as may be set
forth in the bylaws of the Corporation. This authority would allow
us to issue shares of preferred stock in excess of the 10,000,000
initially authorized. In fact, as at the date of this report, we
have issued 9,411,988 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.
The market price for our common stock may be particularly volatile
given our status as a relatively unknown company, with a limited
operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide
fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your
common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in
substantial losses to you.
Our
stock price may be particularly volatile when compared to the
shares of larger, more established companies that trade on a
national securities exchange and have large public floats. The
volatility in our share price will be attributable to a number of
factors. First, our common stock will be compared to the shares of
such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly
traded. As a consequence of this limited liquidity, the trading of
relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may
disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either
direction. The price for our shares could decline precipitously in
the event that a large number of shares of our common stock are
sold on the market without commensurate demand. Second, we are a
speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating
history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future
market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of
this enhanced risk, more risk-averse investors may, under the fear
of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative
news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on
the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the
case with the stock of a larger, more established company that
trades on a national securities exchange and has a large public
float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may
decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our
operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or
projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common
stock will be at any time. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not
a liquid market in contrast to the major stock exchanges. We cannot
assure you as to the liquidity or the future market prices of our
common stock if a market does develop. If an active market for our
common stock does not develop, the fair market value of our common
stock could be materially adversely affected.
Our shares are subject to the U.S. “Penny Stock” Rules and
investors who purchase our shares may have difficulty re-selling
their shares as the liquidity of the market for our shares may be
adversely affected by the impact of the “Penny Stock”
Rules.
Our
stock is subject to U.S. “Penny Stock” rules, which may make the
stock more difficult to trade on the open market. A “penny stock”
is generally defined by regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an equity security with a market
price of less than US$5.00 per share. However, an equity security
with a market price under US $5.00 will not be considered a penny
stock if it fits within any of the following exceptions:
|
(i) |
the
equity security is listed on NASDAQ or a national securities
exchange; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
the
issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for

(iii) |
the
issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for
more than three years and has net tangible assets of at least US
$2,000,000. |
Our
common stock does not currently fit into any of the above
exceptions.
If an
investor buys or sells a penny stock, SEC regulations require that
the investor receive, prior to the transaction, a disclosure
explaining the penny stock market and associated risks.
Furthermore, trading in our common stock will be subject to Rule
15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which relates to non-NASDAQ and
non-exchange listed securities. Under this rule, broker/dealers who
recommend our securities to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors must make a special written
suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.
Securities are exempt from this rule if their market price is at
least $5.00 per share. Since our common stock is currently deemed
penny stock regulations, it may tend to reduce market liquidity of
our common stock, because they limit the broker/dealers’ ability to
trade, and a purchaser’s ability to sell, the stock in the
secondary market.
The
low price of our common stock has a negative effect on the amount
and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual
shareholders. The low price of our common stock also limits our
ability to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares.
There are several reasons for these effects. First, the internal
policies of certain institutional investors prohibit the purchase
of low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not permit
low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts or
to be purchased on margin. Third, some brokerage house policies and
practices tend to discourage individual brokers from dealing in
low-priced stocks. Finally, broker’s commissions on low-priced
stocks usually represent a higher percentage of the stock price
than commissions on higher priced stocks. As a result, the
Company’s shareholders may pay transaction costs that are a higher
percentage of their total share value than if our share price were
substantially higher.
Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers
of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and experience
further dilution.
We
are authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock,
of which [] shares of common stock are issued and outstanding as of
the date hereof. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause
us to issue additional shares of common stock and to determine the
rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent
of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may
experience more dilution in their ownership of our stock in the
future.
Dilution from Convertible Note Financing
On
February 12, 2019, we issued a convertible note to Eagle Equities,
LLC and on January 27, 2020 we issued a convertible note to GW
Holdings Group, LLC the terms and conditions of which are
incorporated by reference in this report as Exhibit 10.1 to our
current report on Form 8-K dated February 15, 2019 and Exhibit 10.1
to our current report on form 8-K dated February 3, 2020. The notes
are convertible into shares of our common stock at (depending on
certain factors) a 35-45% discount to the market price at the time
of conversion. We filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to
cover the resale of the shares into which the notes are
convertible. As a result of these transactions, shareholders of the
Company may experience substantial dilution.
A reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of
our common stock.
The
liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected
adversely by a reverse stock split given the reduced number of
shares that will be outstanding following a reverse stock split,
especially if the market price of our common stock does not
increase as a result of the reverse stock split.
