Quarterly Report (10-q)

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Social Life Network, Inc. is referred to hereafter as “we”, “our” or “us”.

An investment in our common stock is highly speculative and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of our investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this annual report before in investing in our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern opinion; there is substantial uncertainty that we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment.

In their report dated March 15, 2019, our independent registered public accounting firm, B F Borgers CPA PC, stated that our financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We had an accumulated deficit of $30,613,266 at June 30, 2019, had a net loss of $2,907,772 and used net cash of $1,285,443 in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (the net loss and accumulated deficit consist of $1,568,833 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $232,000 of new non-cash warrant expense). These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our management intends to finance operating costs over the next six months with existing cash on hand and public issuance of common stock. Although we may be successful in obtaining financing and/or generating revenue to fund our operations, meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial goals, there are no assurances that such funding will be achieved at a sufficient level or that we will succeed in our future operations.

If our Social Networking Platform technology becomes obsolete, our ability to license our Platform and generate revenue from it will be negatively impacted.

If our Platform technology becomes obsolete, our results of operations will be adversely affected. The market in which we compete is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, new products/services introductions, and changes in customer demands that can render existing products/services obsolete and unmarketable. Our Platform will require continuous upgrading, or our technology will become obsolete, and our business operations will be curtailed or terminate.

New social network, online marketplace or application platform features or changes to existing features could fail to attract new users, retain existing users or generate revenue.

Our business strategy is dependent on our ability on behalf of our licensees to develop and maintain networks, online marketplaces, and application platforms and features to attract new users and retain existing ones. Any of the following events may cause decreased use of our properties:

Should any of the above factors or a combination of such factors have a material effect on our business, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively affected.

If we lose key management, our business may materially suffer.

We are highly dependent on our management team consisting of Kenneth Tapp, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Technology Officer and Mark DiSiena, our Chief Financial Officer. We do not carry “key-man” life insurance on our officers. If we lose the services of one or more of our officers and are unable to replace them with equally competent officers, our business may be negatively impacted.

We expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company.

We estimate annual costs of approximately $50,000 to maintain the proper management and financial controls for our filings required as a public reporting company, funds that would otherwise be spent for our business operations. Our public reporting costs may increase over time, which will increase our expenses and may decrease our potential profitability.

Should we lose our advertising or digital subscription or licensing or events revenues during any given period where any such revenue areas historically had represented the majority of our revenues, our financial condition will be negatively affected.

We have generated a majority of our revenue in 2016, 2017, and 2018 from advertising revenue, digital subscription services, and licensing revenues, respectively, and for the first six months ended 2019 we have generated a majority of our revenue from microcap events. The loss of the majority of our revenues in future periods will negatively affect our results of operations.

During our 2019 fiscal year and for the 6-months ended June 30, 2019, $25,000 or 15.8%, and December 31, 2018, $215,000 or 97.5%, respectively, of our total revenues were generated from related party revenue; there are conflicts of interest between our officers’ interests, who are also officers of our licensees, and our shareholders’ interests .

During our 2019 fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, $25,000 or 15.8%, and December 31, 2018, $215,000 or 97.5%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from license fees we received from Real Estate Social Network and Sports Social Network, which revenues are related party revenues. We have a “software as a service” (SaaS) license agreement with Sports Social Network, which provides that Sports Social Network, Inc. pays a license fee of $125,000 per year for a period of two years and thereafter we receive twenty percent of their net profits from the sale of online advertising and collected E-Commerce fees on their niche sports social networks from every country around the world that they provide access to their websites and mobile apps that we provide through the licensing agreement.

We have a software as a service (SaaS) license agreement with Real Estate Social Network, which provides that Real Estate Social Network, Inc. pays a license fee, of which we receive twenty percentage of their net profits from the sale of online advertising and monthly digital subscription fees from residential real estate professionals using their LikeRE.com social network from every country around the world that they provide access to their website and mobile app that we provide through the licensing agreement. Both licensees have automatically renewing annual license agreements with us and their goal is to have millions of users on each of their social networks.

Our Chief Executive Office, Kenneth Tapp, owns 45.9% of our outstanding shares and is also the Chief Technology Officer of Real Estate Social Network. and the Chief Technology Officer of the Sports Social Network and owns approximately 40% each of those entities through LVC Consulting, LLC, of which he is the sole member. Our prior-Chief Financial Officer, Andrew Rodosevich, owns 11.3% of our outstanding shares and is a Managing Member of Real Estate Social Network and Sports Social Network and owns approximately 10% of those entities through Rodosevich Investments, LLC, of which Andrew Rodosevich is the sole member. Our related party revenues present conflicts of interests between our officers’ interests and our shareholders” interests, which may favor the interests of our officers and/or Real Estate Social Network and/or Sports Social Network over that of our shareholders.

The license fees we received from our related parties who are also our licensees, Sports Social Network and Real Estate Social Network, may be undervalued because the license agreements were negotiated between related parties.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer negotiated the license fee agreements with our related parties/licensees, Sports Social Network and Real Estate Social Network. Our Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth Tapp, owns 45.9% of our outstanding shares and is also the Chief Technology Officer of Real Estate Social Network and Sports Social Network and owns approximately 40% each of those entities through LVC Consulting, LLC, of which he is the only member. Our prior-Chief Financial Officer, Andrew Rodosevich, owns 11.3% of our outstanding shares and is a Managing Member of Real Estate Social Network and Sports Social Network and owns approximately 10% of those entities through Rodosevich Investments, LLC, of which Andrew Rodosevich is the sole member. As a result, there are potential conflicts of interest between our past/present officers and our shareholders’ interests. Additionally, because the license agreements were negotiated between related parties, the license granted to these related parties may have been undervalued, which may have otherwise resulted in a higher amount of license fees being paid by other licensees to us.

Our Chief Executive Officer has potential conflicts of interest because of his interests in entities with which we have license agreements.

Our Chief Executive Officer is also the Chief Technology Officer of our licensees, Real Estate Social Network and Sports Social Network, and owns approximately 40% of each such entity through a limited liability company, of which he is the sole member. We have a license agreement with Real Estate Social Network providing that they will pay us 20% of the net profits from all monthly member subscriptions and online advertising sales, paid annually, on the 31st day of January for the preceding year. We also have a license agreement with Sports Social Network providing that they will pay us $125,000 annually for the first two years of this agreement (a total of $250,000 for the first two years), and thereafter will receive 20% of the net profits from all online advertising sales and collected E-Commerce fees, paid monthly with the option to pay any outstanding licensing fees annually, and to be received by us no later than the 31st day of January for the preceding year. Our Chief Executive Officer owns 45.9% and of our outstanding shares. Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer has potential conflicts of interest between his interests in Real Estate Social Network and Sports Social Network and our interests, which may result in them favoring the interests of those networks over our interests and that of our shareholders.

Our business is highly competitive; competition presents an ongoing threat to the success of our business.

We face significant competition with respect to both our Cannabis/Hemp Social Networks and licensing of our E-Commerce Social Network Platforms, including MassRoots.com, Leafly.com, Zillow.com, HOUZZ.com, TennisChannel.com and Cabelas.com, which offer a variety of online advertising and E-Commerce offerings. These competitors and other competitors have greater financial, operational, and personnel resources than we do. Should we fail to develop strategies to overcome our competition, our revenues will be negatively impacted.

Because our directors and executive officers are among our largest stockholders, they can exert significant control over our business and affairs and have actual or potential interests that may depart from those of investors.

Certain of our executive officers and directors own a significant percentage of our outstanding capital stock. As of the date of this annual report, our executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates beneficially own over 75% of our outstanding voting stock, including our Chief Executive Officer who owns 49.5% of our voting securities. The holdings of our directors and executive officers may increase further in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted, or if they otherwise acquire additional shares of our common stock. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

This concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

We will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders; we may be unable to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts.

We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company and to require substantial additional funding to continue to pursue our business and continue with our expansion plans. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations. To date, we have financed our operations entirely through equity investments by founders and other investors and the incurrence of debt, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Additional funding from those or other sources may be unavailable when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to our existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we would likely become subject to further covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects.

We must successfully maintain and/or upgrade our information technology systems.

We rely on various information technology systems, including our newly licensed NetSuite enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, that was implemented at the end of first quarter of Fiscal 2019 to manage our operations, which subjects us to inherent costs and risks associated with maintaining, upgrading, replacing and changing these systems, including impairment of our information technology, potential disruption of our internal control systems, substantial capital expenditures, demands on management time and other risks of delays or difficulties in upgrading, transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems .

Our financial statements may not be comparable to those of other companies.

Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of The JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates, and our stockholders and potential investors may have difficulty in analyzing our operating results if comparing us to such companies.

We do not have an independent board of directors which could create a conflict of interests and pose a risk from a corporate governance perspective.

Our Board of Directors consists mostly of current executive officers and consultants, which means that we do not have any outside or independent directors. The lack of independent directors:

Because officers serve on our Board of Directors, it will be difficult for the Board to fulfill its traditional role of overseeing management.

Because we do not have a nominating, audit or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on the entire board of directors, no members of which are independent to perform these functions.

We do not have a nominating, audit or compensation committee or any such committee comprised of independent directors. The board of directors performs these functions. No members of the board of directors are independent directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

Our election not to opt out of the JOBS Act extended accounting transition period may not make our financial statements easily comparable to other companies.

Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012, as an emerging growth company we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the PCAOB or the SEC. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the application date for private companies. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. As of present, there are no new or revised accounting standards that have been issued by the PCAOB or the SEC applicable to us for which we have adopted the application date for private companies.

The JOBS Act will also allow us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC. The recently enacted JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on emerging growth companies. The Registrant meets the definition of an emerging growth company and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:

We intend to take advantage of some or all the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. We have elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, we may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers that would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Registrant. As a result, investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

We may have difficulty maintaining officer and director coverage or obtaining such coverage on favorable terms or financially be unable to obtain any such coverage, which may make it difficult for our attracting and retaining qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to maintain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage or financially be unable to obtain such coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

RISKS RELATED TO CANNABIS/HEMP RELATED GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Our cannabis/hemp websites with respect to cannabis are dependent on state laws pertaining to the cannabis industry.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, MJLink, has several websites in the cannabis/hemp area. As of the date of this quarterly report, there are 33 states and the District of Columbia that allow their citizens to use medical cannabis. Additionally, Alaska, California, Colorado, Oregon, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Vermont, Washington, and Washington DC have legalized cannabis for adult use at the state (or district) level. Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of cannabis at the state level. Any number of factors pertaining to lack of public or legislative support could slow or halt progress in this area. Further, progress in the cannabis industry is not assured.

Our cannabis/hemp websites are open to all Internet users, which may result in legal consequences; in such event, our results of operations will be negatively affected.

Our Terms and Conditions contained in our MJLink sites clearly state that our network and services pertaining to our cannabis/hemp related sites are only to be used by users who are over 21 years old and located where the use of cannabis/hemp is permissible under state law and only in a manner which would be permissible under the applicable state law. However, it is impractical to independently verify that all activity occurring on our network fits into this description. If we become subject to federal and state law enforcement, our brand name and results of operations will be negatively impacted.

Cannabis remains illegal under Federal law.

Despite the development of a legal cannabis industry under the laws of certain states, these state laws legalizing medical and adult cannabis use 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 it is the Federal government that 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.

As the possession and use of cannabis 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 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). Because 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 sale of our services.

Federal enforcement practices could change with respect to services providers to participants in the cannabis industry, which could adversely impact us. If the Federal government were to change its practices or were to expend its resources attacking providers in the cannabis industry, such action could have a materially adverse effect on our operations, our customers, or the sales of our services.

It is possible that additional Federal or state legislation could be enacted in the future that would prohibit our advertisers from selling cannabis, and, if such legislation were enacted, such advertisers may discontinue the use of our services, our potential source of customers would be reduced, causing revenues could decline. Further, additional government disruption in the cannabis industry could cause potential customers and users to be reluctant to use and advertise on our platforms. 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,

As the possession and use of cannabis 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 cannabis is illegal. Our business provides services to customers that may be directly or indirectly 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.

Federal enforcement practices could change with respect to service providers or participants in the cannabis industry, which could adversely impact us; if the Federal government were to change its practices or were to expend its resources attacking providers in the cannabis industry, such action could have a materially adverse effect on our operations, our customers, or the sales of our products.

It is possible that additional Federal or state legislation could be enacted in the future that would prohibit our advertisers from selling cannabis, and if such legislation were enacted, such advertisers may discontinue the use of our services, our potential source of customers would be reduced, causing revenues could decline. Further, additional government disruption in the cannabis industry could cause potential customers and users to be reluctant to advertise on our sites, which would negatively affect our revenues. 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.

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 permitted under state law, as well as recent guidance from the United States Department of Justice, banks remain weary to accept 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. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to have trouble establishing banking relationships. An inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for us, or some of our advertisers, to do business.

Federal enforcement practices could change with respect to services provided to participants in the cannabis industry, which could adversely impact us; if the Federal government were to expend its resources on enforcement actions against service providers in the cannabis industry under guidance provided by the Sessions Memo, including asset forfeiture actions, such actions could have a material adverse effect on our operations, our customers, or our services.

On January 4, 2018, the then U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued the Sessions Memo stating that the Cole Memo was rescinded effectively immediately. Mr. Sessions stated that “prosecutors should follow the well-established principles that govern all federal prosecutions,” which require “federal prosecutors deciding which cases to prosecute to weigh all relevant considerations, including federal law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney General, the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community.” Mr. Sessions went on to state in the memorandum that “previous nationwide guidance specific to marijuana is unnecessary and is rescinded, effective immediately.” It is unclear at this time whether the Sessions Memo indicates that the Trump administration will strongly enforce the federal laws applicable to cannabis or what types of activities will be targeted for enforcement. While we do not harvest, distribute or sell cannabis, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement policies of the federal government depending on the nature of such change.

Attorney General Order No. 3946-2018 released by Jeff Sessions on July 19, 2018 shows that he is in favor of law enforcement using civil asset forfeiture as “an effective tool to reduce crime” and that “its use should be encouraged where appropriate.” It is possible that due to the recent Sessions Memo our clients may discontinue the use of our services, our potential source of customers may be reduced, and our revenues may decline. Further, additional government disruption in the cannabis industry could cause potential customers and users to be reluctant to use our services or buy advertising from us. It is possible that due to the Sessions Memo our clients may discontinue the use of our services, we or our customers may be subject to asset forfeiture actions, our potential source of customers may be reduced, and our revenues may decline. Further, additional government disruption in the cannabis industry could cause potential customers and users to be reluctant to use advertising services, which would negatively impact our results of operations.

The 2018 Farm Bill officially reclassifies hemp for commercial uses after decades of statutes and legal enforcement conflating hemp and marijuana, the Farm Bill distinguishes between the two by removing hemp from the Controlled Substances Act. While the two are closely related, hemp lacks the high concentration of THC that is responsible for the “high” from the use of marijuana. This would effectively move regulation and enforcement of the crop from the purview of the Drug Enforcement Agency to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Recent hearing in February 2019, conducted before the House Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Financial Institutions, focused on access to banking services for legal cannabis-based businesses. Two of the speakers at the hearing — Colorado Rep. Ed Perlmutter and Washington Rep. Denny Heck, both Democratic members of Congress from states with legal marijuana, back the Secure and Fair Enforcement of Banking Act of 2019, or the SAFE Banking Act, as it is more commonly known. The proposed bill, according to lawmakers and reports, would prevent federal regulators from targeting banks that accept deposits from legal cannabis operators. Such prohibition could involve limiting FDIC protections for those deposits or trying to prevent loans to those businesses.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

An investment in our shares is highly speculative .

The shares of our common stock are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors contained herein relating to our business and prospects. If any of the risks presented herein actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in the future.

We expect that the market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate in response to one or more of the following factors, many of which are beyond our control:

The price at which you purchase shares of our Common Stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Shareholders may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our securities. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our securities and may prevent a shareholder from obtaining a market price equal to the purchase price such shareholder paid when the shareholder attempts to sell our securities in the open market. In these situations, the shareholder may be required either to sell our securities at a market price, which is lower than the purchase price the shareholder paid, or to hold our securities for a longer period than planned. An inactive or low trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock. You may be unable to sell your shares of Common Stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you and which may include the complete loss of your investment. Any of the risks described above could adversely affect our sales and profitability and the price of our Common Stock.

There is no active public trading market for our common stock and an active market may never develop.

The public trading market for our common stock on the OTCMarkets OTCQB tier, has reflected an uneven and inactive market. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they attempt to sell their securities. Consequently, only investors having no need for liquidity in their investment should purchase our securities and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period.

We have authorized 100,000,000 Preferred Shares and 100,000,000 Class B Common Shares that may result in our officers having the ability to influence stockholder decisions.

The board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, and voting rights of any series of preferred stock, and these rights may be superior to the rights of holders of the Shares. The board of directors may also establish redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any shares of preferred stock; as such, if we establish such terms and privileges to our preferred shares and we sell or issue preferred shares in future transactions to new investors such investors in subsequent transactions could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. Any such preferences may operate to the detriment of the rights of the holders of the Shares, and further, could be used by the board of directors as a device to prevent a change in control of the Registrant. Our Board of Directors has established the rights to Class B Common Shares, including that each Class B Common Stock Share shall have ten (10) votes on all matters presented to be voted by the holders of Common Stock. As such, such rights include additional voting power if Class B Common Stock shares are issued to our officers giving them control over a majority of our outstanding voting power, they would then have the power to control future stock-based acquisition transactions, to fund employee equity incentive programs, and give them the ability to elect certain directors and to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. This concentrated control eliminates other stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters

We expect to seek additional financing in order to provide working capital to our business. Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares at any price they consider sufficient, without stockholder approval. The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of current stockholders

You will experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

We may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. Although no assurances can be given that we will consummate new financing, in the event we do, or in the event we sell shares of common stock or other securities convertible into shares of our common stock in the future, additional and substantial dilution will occur. In addition, investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to investors in prior offerings. Subsequent offerings at a lower price, often referred to as a “down round”, could result in additional dilution.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which would rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.

Future sales and issuances of our capital stock, exercise of warrants outstanding or rights to purchase capital stock could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

We may issue additional securities following the completion of this offering. Future sales and issuances of our capital stock or rights to purchase our capital stock could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. We may sell common stock, convertible securities and other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as we may determine from time to time. If we sell any such securities in subsequent transactions, investors may be materially diluted. Additionally, because we have 17,594,873 Warrants outstanding, which are exercisable for five cents to twenty cents per share with a warrant exercise period of 3 years to 5 years, any material exercise of the Warrants will cause substantial dilution to your shares.

Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.

The trading of our securities will be in the over-the-counter market, which is commonly referred to as the OTCQB as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.

Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions that are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:

Disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, probably, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, likely, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Registered Broker-Dealers and Clearing firms are refusing to trade or clear stocks that are directly or indirectly related to the cannabis and hemp industries, which may negatively impact the trading of our common stock shares.

Because registered Broker-Dealers and Clearing firms are refusing to trade or clear stocks that represent companies directly or indirectly related to the cannabis and hemp industries, certain brokerage firms can no longer trade such stocks on behalf of their clients. Should this trend increase, trading in our stock may be negatively impacted, including lower trading volume and stock prices.

If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanctions, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have not yet finalized our internal controls policies and procedures over financial reporting.

We are in the process of developing and implementing more robust internal controls over financial reporting which is time consuming, costly, and complicated. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if our management is unable to assert, when required, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to attest, when required, to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources

The forward-looking statements contained herein report may prove incorrect .

This filing contains certain forward-looking statements, including among others: (i) anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; (ii) our business strategy for expanding our business; and (iii) our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition to the other risks described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include: (i) changes to external competitive market factors, which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) anticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes; and (iv) various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace.

Cautionary Note

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
