BUSINESS

 

Our Company

 

Imaging3, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: IGNG) was incorporated on October 29, 1993 as Imaging Services, Inc. in the state of California. The Company filed a certificate of amendment of articles of incorporation to change its name to Imaging3, Inc. on August 20, 2002. From August 2002 until March 2019, the Company was a development stage medical device company. The Company was unable to raise sufficient capital to commercialize its imaging technology. The Company re-domiciled in Delaware by means of a merger of the Company with and into the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Imaging3, Inc., a Delaware corporation in March of 2018.

 

Share Exchange

 

The Company began discussions with Grapefruit (which also does business as Coachella Valley Oil Factory and Sugar Stoned while it has registered to do business as but does not currently use Kali Kanna Farms & Extracts, Kali Kanna Farms, and Kali Kanna Extracts), on March 1, 2019, regarding the possible reverse acquisition of the Company by Grapefruit.

 

On March 11, 2019 the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to be acquired in a reverse acquisition via a share exchange agreement to be completed at some later date (the “Acquisition”) by Grapefruit. Grapefruit holds licenses issued by the State of California to manufacture and distribute cannabis products in California. Grapefruit commenced operations in mid-2018 and has received more than $450,000.00 in revenue from operations since Grapefruit own and operate a manufacturing plant and distribution center within the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna Business Park in Desert Hot Springs near Palm Springs in Riverside County, California (the “Coachillin Site”). On Thursday, March 7, 2019 Grapefruit obtained its final permit and clearance from local authorities to commence operation of an ethanol extraction laboratory (the “Extraction Lab”) at the Coachillin site and commenced extraction and post production processing operations. The Extraction Lab is expected to be able to produce both THC and CBD oils from either Biomass or unrefined biomass or crude oil.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company and Grapefruit initiated negotiations intended to result in completion of a definitive Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) encompassing all of the material terms of the Exchange Agreement during the second quarter of 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Exchange Agreement provided, among other things, that upon conclusion of the Acquisition, Grapefruit’s designees would own 80% of the then outstanding common shares of the Company and the Company’s current shareholders would own 20% of such outstanding common shares. In addition, the Company was required to settle certain outstanding creditor obligations on terms acceptable to both Grapefruit and the Company.

 

On July 10, 2019, the Company effectuated a Share Exchange pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Company issued to the Stakeholders an aggregate of approximately three hundred sixty-two million, two hundred, twenty-nine thousand, one hundred and one (362,229,101) newly issued shares of Common Stock of the Company, $0.001 par value, in exchange for 100% of the shares of Grapefruit’s common stock. As a result thereof, Grapefruit became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. For accounting purposes, Grapefruit was the accounting acquirer and the Company was the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree.

 

In addition, on June 3 2019, the (“Execution Date”) George Zdasiuk submitted his resignation as a member of the Board, effective immediately, John Hollister submitted his resignation as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, and Jeffrey N. Peterson submitted his resignation as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately, and as a member of the Board, which resignation shall become effective on the 10th day following the filing of an information statement to the stockholders of the Company (the “Effective Date”). On the Execution Date, Bradley Yourist was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, President, Director and Chairman of the Board, effective immediately, and Daniel Yourist was appointed as Chief Operating Officer, Corporate Secretary and as a member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately.

 

By early June 2019, the Company had shifted its focus to manufacturing cannabis distillates and edibles and distribution of such cannabis products.

 

The Company is now focused on becoming a premier manufacturer and distributor of legal cannabis products in California. We will distribute our own branded product lines as well as product produced by other manufacturers. We will continue to service the wholesale cannabis marketplace by selling bulk Honey THC Oil, Flower and Trim to manufactures and other distributors throughout California. We will also offer our expert cannabis advice to others in connection with their branding, compliance, packaging, extraction, edible manufacturing and distribution logistics efforts.

The Auctus Financing

 

On May 31, 2019, the Company executed the SPA with Auctus pursuant to the terms of which the Company agreed to sell $4,000,000 of the Notes and issue $6,200,000 of callable warrants (the “Warrants” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) to Auctus. Auctus is the Selling Security Holder. In addition, on May 31, 2019, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Auctus (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) whereby we are obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of the shares underlying the Securities. The Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part is being filed to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the SPA, Auctus became obligated to purchase the $4,000,000 of Notes from IGNG in four tranches as follows: $600,000 at the SPA closing, which was funded on June 6, 2019; the second tranche of $1,400,000 on the day IGNG files the Registration Statement, which was funded on August 16, 2019; the third tranche of $1 million will be funded the day the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective and the fourth tranche of $1 million will be funded 90 days after effectiveness. As of January 16, 2020, the first and second tranches of this financing have been completed and the Company has received gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Pursuant to the terms of Notes, the 68,381,913 shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes being registered in the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part is based on dividing the $4,000,000 principal of the Notes by a conversion price as of January 6, 2020. This conversion price is equal to a 5% discount to the closing share price of $0.0721 on January 6, 2020 ($0.0685) minus $0.01 for a conversion price of $0.0585.

 

The 39,000,000 Warrant Shares being registered hereby underly the Warrants issued in June 2019. The Company will not be issuing any further warrants to Auctus pursuant to the SPA.

 

Industry Overview

 

Global consumer spending on legal cannabis in 2018 showed a growth rate of 20 percent in sales of cannabis in regulated markets. Cannabis sales are on track to increase 36 percent to $14.9 billion in 2019 and reach $40 billion by 2024 according to the “State of Legal Cannabis Markets” Report released by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics. This report points to growth in the cannabis markets while underlining the challenges that face the sector. The “Total Cannabinoid Market” (“TCM”) in the United States, which includes medical and recreational cannabis sales in regulated dispensaries, plus sales of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) -approved pharmaceuticals and hemp-based CBD products.

 

Most notably, in 2018 the FDA approved GW Pharmaceutical’s Epidiolex and passed the 2018 Farm Bill legalizing hemp and cannabidiol oil derived from hemp as long as it contained less than 0.3% THC. According to State of Legal Cannabis Markets, 7th Edition, by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, the 2018 Farm Bill allows pharmacies, extraction labs, and general retailers to sell CBD-based products in all 50 states, which is expected to enhance the TCM. In the U.S. alone, sales of CBD products in all channels are expected to reach $20 billion by 2024.

 

According to a February 12, 2019 CNBC website article, in 2018 the legal cannabis industry experienced one of its slowest annual expansion rates since Colorado launched the adult-use era in 2014.

 

According to a June 20, 2019 BDS Analytics website article, in California, legal spending on cannabis fell, from $3 billion in 2017 to $2.5 billion, in the year in which it implemented an adult-use regulatory regime. According to a July 3, 2019 420 Intel website article, a key takeaway from the California market is that highly restrictive regulations and high tax rates are hurting the legal market’s ability to compete with the illicit market. The barriers to enter into the legal cannabis market are also increasing in California because its temporary cannabis licensing scheme ended on December 31, 2018 (with further details available on the State of California’s Cannabis Portal website). According to a August 27, 2019 Marijuana Business Daily article, currently any license applicant must now wait a protracted amount of time before the applicant receives its license and must wait a year in some cases for the application to make its way through the local and state licensing authorities.

 

According to the “State of Legal Cannabis Markets” Report, other key trends in the United States Legal Cannabis Markets include:

 

  Total legal cannabis spending in regulated dispensaries in the U.S. topped $9.8 billion in 2018, and is forecast to grow to $30 billion in 2024, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 percent.
     
  Investment capital raised by cannabis companies more than quadrupled to $14 billion in 2018, according to Viridian Capital Advisors.
     
  Despite a 55 percent decline in 2018 in New Cannabis Ventures’ Global Cannabis Stock Index, the five largest Canadian licensed producers closed the first quarter of 2019 at a combined market capitalization of $48 billion.
     
  A total of 13 state markets will have passed the $1 billion mark in total annual legal cannabis spending by the end of 2024—by the end of 2018, only three had done so (California, Colorado and Washington).

Grapefruit’s Competitive Advantage in the Industry

 

Grapefruit holds its State of California provisional licensing from the Bureau of Cannabis Control and the California Department of Public Health. The Company has its permanent annually renewable provisional license as opposed to a temporary license. The Company expects the annual renewal to be a non-intrusive and scaled down as opposed to what the renewal process was previously. The Company is one of the earliest registered distribution companies with the State of California to have an annually renewable license as opposed to the temporary licenses previously granted. In January 2019, the State of California revised its cannabis regulations to restrict the ability of companies to become licensed businesses.

 

California has three distinct regulatory agencies that govern the issuance of cultivation licenses, manufacturing licenses and distribution licenses. In order to foster the then-nascent commercial cannabis industry, the State of California initially allowed each regulatory agency to grant temporary licensing to companies with very minimal regulatory requirements and oversight. In fact, a new or then-existing cannabis company only had to show State Regulators that their local city was allowing their commercial cannabis business to operate which was an uncomplicated task. A temporary license was a conditional license that allowed a cannabis business to engage in commercial cannabis activity for a period of 120 days. The State granted operators 90-day extensions of their temporary license while final cannabis regulations were being developed and officially implemented by the State.

 

On January 1, 2019, the State of California eliminated the temporary cannabis licensing scheme. The impact of this regulatory restriction prevents all new cannabis companies from starting their operations without first applying for, and obtaining, a provisional license from the appropriate regulatory agency. The same regulatory restriction prevents existing, but unregulated, cannabis companies from continuing to engage in commercial cannabis operations without shutting down while applying for, and obtaining, an annual license from the appropriate regulatory agency. The elimination of the temporary license scheme significantly thinned out the number of commercial cannabis businesses operating in the State. This was due to the regulatory requirements required to apply for an annual license which include compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, provision of a Hazardous Waste Disposal Plan and the multitude of other regulatory requirements to operate a compliant cannabis business.

 

The regulatory changes have impacted the ability of new businesses to enter the marketplace and compete with Grapefruit. However, none of Grapefruit’s commercial cannabis businesses have been impacted by the regulatory changes to the marketplace.

 

Grapefruit owns two acres of fully entitled cannabis real property located in the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park. Grapefruit understood the State’s regulatory burdens and expense for commercial cannabis businesses to successfully operate. For example, the State requires cannabis business to provide 24 hour-per-day on-site armed security for their facility. This is a shared expense of the Coachillin property owners. In addition, Coachillin property owners pay agricultural power rates of nine (9) cents per kilowatt hour which is significantly less than what others pay for power. The location within Coachillin allows the Company to apply for and hold every cannabis license available under the California Cannabis laws.

 

Grapefruit intends on building out the real property into a distribution, manufacturing and high-tech cultivation facility to further its goal to become a seed to sale, fully vertically integrated Cannabis and CBD product Company within the next twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) months. Grapefruit’s plans include an indoor 22,000 square foot multi-tiered canopy and adjoining tissue culture rooms. The canopy will produce thousands of pounds of the highest quality indoor cultivars of cannabis annually.

 

Construction of our facility has not been completed, and we have been provided an estimated completion date of September 2022. Grapefruit’s projected costs to construct the facility will be between $3.5 million to $4.5 million dollars. In order for us to obtain California cannabis licensing from state and local officials we entered into an operating lease with Coachillin’ Holdings to temporarily occupy an area near the location of our permanent location within the Coachillin’ commercial park.

 

We entered into this operating land lease agreement with Coachillin’ Holdings LLC on September 1, 2018 to rent approximately 2,268 square feet of leasable land area. The operating lease renews annually and has a base rent of $0.50 square foot of leasable area of the designated premise assigned by Coachillin’ Holdings LLC. We paid an initial non-refundable prepaid rent of $3,402 and a total rent of $51,212.86, which was expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We entered into this operating agreement in order to obtain our provisional cannabis licenses for manufacturing and distribution during 2019.

 

The Coachillin’ property owners’ association, which Grapefruit is a part of, will feature a unique drive through retail cannabis dispensary right off highway 10 on the way to Coachella and Palm Springs. Grapefruit will have the right to sell its cannabis products directly to the public through the drive through dispensary. Coachillin’ will also feature a cannabis hotel and music stadium and other visitor areas. By Grapefruit locating in Coachillin, the company gains instant exposure to thousands of hotel guests and other cannabis visitors that will visit the Coachillin’ cannabis friendly resort over time. Grapefruit believes that the canna-tourism industry will mature to be similar to the wine industry and can capitalize on this industry by virtue of its location within the Canna-business park.

Distribution

 

Grapefruit initially obtained its California wholesale recreational and medicinal cannabis distribution license on January 4, 2018. Thereafter, Grapefruit met all of its ongoing regulatory requirements and filed its application for an annual distribution license. In May 2019, Grapefruit was granted its provisional distribution license, thereby acquiring the regulatory foundation necessary to expand its distribution business. From July 2018 through the first quarter of 2019, Grapefruit used its distribution license to sell bulk cannabis flowers and trim to other distributors and to manufacturers to satisfy their own raw materials requirements. In addition, Grapefruit sold flowers, vape cartridges and concentrates to licensed retailers throughout California.

 

In California, cannabis cultivators and manufactures are prohibited from selling their products – e.g., flowers or edibles - directly into the marketplace. These companies are required to use a licensed distributor, such as Grapefruit. Grapefruit’s distribution license affords it a twofold strategic advantage: first, to market and sell its own cannabis product lines to retailers throughout California; and second to buy and resell bulk cannabis oil, flower and trim as an unfettered middleman to any properly licensed customer anywhere in California that it identifies a profit opportunity.

 

Additionally, after marijuana plants are mature, they’re harvested within a certain time frame to keep the product fresh. Throughout the growth cycle and during this specific time period after the plant has been harvested, a grower will trim the plant of its leaves, focusing mostly on the remaining buds. Specifically speaking, trim is defined as the excess snipping of leaves from buds of marijuana plants. Note that leftover product can still be used to make extractions, tinctures, hash and edibles, so growers and trimmers alike can always increase sales with a larger product offering.

 

Manufacturing

 

The Company owns a fully licensed ethanol extraction facility in the City of Desert Hot Springs, CA. The Company owns and operates a Type 6 Ethanol Extraction Plant which removes the essential cannabis compounds, such as THC Distillate, that we, and others use, to produce cannabis products.

 

Grapefruit’s extraction lab produces high quality distillate or “Honey Oil” from trim that Grapefruit sources utilizing its distribution license as set forth above. THC Honey Oil is a fundamental cannabis commodity which serves as the active ingredient in products from infused edibles to tinctures/creams to the cartridges used in vapes or e-cigarettes. Honey Oil sells in the wholesale marketplace at approximately $6,250 to $8,800.00 per liter. Pricing is dependent on quantity purchased as well as other market factors such as the availability and cost of the underlying trim – the raw cannabis material from which Grapefruit produces oil. Grapefruit began extraction operations in May 2019. Plans are in place to expand production through the purchase of additional extraction equipment which we expect will to allow the lab to produce two (2) to four (4) liters per day, contingent upon market conditions, of finished Honey Oil by the third quarter of 2020. Grapefruit chose to set up its extraction laboratory in the City of Desert Hot Springs because the City does not tax the manufacture of oil by Grapefruit at its Desert Hot Springs extraction facility, thereby providing Grapefruit with an additional competitive advantage.

 

THC Distillate is an all-purpose product that is used in the manufacture of everything from cannabis edibles to “e-cigarette” vape carts to tinctures, to creams and pre-rolled cannabis “joints”. We sell our distillate in California to companies that manufacturer their own product lines of edibles and/or vape cards. We also intend to use our own Distillate to produce our branded line of edibles and vape carts to allow us to control the quality of our product lines. We also manufacture marijuana cigarettes (which we market as pre-rolls) for sale into the retail marketplace. This manufacturing process is streamlined through the use of machinery and our employees who inspect each marijuana cigarette to ensure quality control. We have partnered with different manufactures in California to manufacture our line of branded products we intend to distribute and/or sell into the marketplace. We do not restrict our needs to a single manufacturer or distribution company as we maintain ongoing relationships with Tier 1 vendors across the cannabis eco-system.

 

Branding

 

We package and brand cannabis products. . One of the key elements to our branding strategy is performing an analysis on a product’s competitor(s) currently in the retail space and working to make our product stand out. We work on pricing strategies, boutique branding elements and other ways to differentiate when shelf space gets limited and retailers slow down on taking certain product classes.

Sugar Stoned

 

Grapefruit acquired the Sugar Stoned® brand in the winter of 2018 for use through the winter of 2021. We began the manufacturing process and research and development process for our products immediately, and recently began to sell and distribute Sugar Stoned branded products throughout California. Retail cannabis product consumers can purchase Sugar Stoned infused gummies that have been tested and are certified to be pesticide and heavy metal free by a third party laboratory before being released at retail. Sugar Stoned brand is now a Grapefruit portfolio brand consisting of a premium quality cannabis infused gummy line with eight different flavors: Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Grape, Peach, Pineapple, Sour Apple, Strawberry and Watermelon.

 

Rainbow Dreams

 

Grapefruit recently launched a new life-style brand designed specifically for the recreational cannabis marketplace called “Rainbow Dreams.” The Rainbow Dreams brand captures the “anything goes party vibe” of the 1970s by offering an array of cannabis products such as a line of vape cartridges with unique cannabis strains combined with all natural flavors for a no-burn experience compared to the traditional or earlier generation cartridges which burn at much higher temperatures and provide the user with a burning sensation when inhaling. Rainbow Dreams fills a niche in the marketplace – a top shelf quality product line that we expect to be competitively priced. We are currently developing THC and CBD infused gummies and mints which expect to incorporate into the Rainbow Dreams product line and make available for sale, depending upon market conditions, by the third quarter of 2020.

 

We are also in the process of preparing to introduce several cannabis infused offerings and a new line of THC and CBD vaporizer cartridges in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company expects to file trademark requests with the State of California within the next three months relating to some of the Company’s brands and products.

 

The Company currently maintains a portfolio of trade secrets relating to the formulas for its CBD gummies, vaporization cartridges and oils.

 

Tolling

 

We expect to enter into toll processing agreements by which cultivators will provide us with their dried biomass (i.e., Trim) which we then process at our extraction facility into finished distillate. In exchange, we provide 50% of the finished product to the cultivator. The cultivator is free to use our distribution service to sell their finished product or transfer the finished product to another distributor.

 

Packaging

 

We provide packaging services to re-integrate formally unlicensed products back into the legal marketplace. The space on packaging is limited due to compliance laws. We spend a significant amount of time working out these issues in a pre-production phase. Our goal is to keep a brand’s original design work while complying with the all government regulations. We devote serious efforts to re-brand an unlicensed product to quickly and efficiently re-integrate it into the retail space.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

We have retained employees with cannabis-related experience in product manufacturing, branding, marketing and retail sales in the State of California. We have a strategic relationship with a full service traditional and digital marketing agency that will promote our company and products. We have a multi-pronged approach to marketing our Company and its branded product lines: (1) social media – including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter; (2) influencers who are expected to promote our branded products directly to recreational cannabis users; (3) attendance at specific industry events that are designed to promote our company to both macro and micro targeted audiences; (4) targeted radio advertising designed to reach the recreational marketplace and static marketing (e.g., well placed bill board advertising); and (5) use of our sales force for the personal touch required to obtain shelf-space in all recreational and medicinal dispensaries.

 

8
 

 

The Company employs inside sales persons for retail, and outside sales people for wholesale purchases. Additionally, the Company maintains an online digital platform where customers may purchase the Company’s products. The Company will use www.leaflink.com and www.weedmaps.com. These online platforms limit the geographical area for sales to the State of California to comply with the State’s prohibition from interstate sales of cannabis and cannabis products. The Company expects to use these online platforms in the third quarter of 2020 when it rolls out its retail products.

 

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials; Principal Suppliers

 

In general, raw materials essential to our business are readily available from multiple sources. So far, we have been able to source the materials required to manufacture our THC Distillate as well as our edibles and vape cartridges. Our products use both non-cannabis and cannabis raw materials. We have the entire United States for the sourcing non-cannabis raw materials – such as terpenes, which are the compounds from plant extracts that provide the unique flavor profile in cannabis products, and ccells, which are the industry standard vaporization carts. The California cannabis marketplace is diverse and we have developed the relationships with other companies to ensure the consistent availability of the raw materials.

 

Because we have no direct control over these suppliers, interruptions or delays in the products and services provided by these parties may be difficult to remedy in a timely fashion. In addition, if such suppliers are unable or unwilling to deliver the necessary products or raw materials, we may be unable to redesign or adapt our technology to work without such raw materials or products or find alternative suppliers or manufacturers. In such events, we could experience interruptions, delays, increased costs or quality control problems, or be unable to sell the applicable products, all of which could have a significant adverse impact on our revenue.

 

Competition

 

The cannabis industry is subject to significant competition and pricing pressures. We may experience significant competitive pricing pressures as well as competitive products and services providers. Several significant competitors may offer products and/or services with prices that may match or are lower than ours. We believe that the products and services we offer are generally competitive with those offered by other cannabis companies. It is possible that one or more of our competitors could develop a significant research advantage over us that allows them to provide superior products or pricing, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Continued pricing pressure or improvements in research and shifts in customer preferences away from natural supplements could adversely impact our customer base or pricing structure and have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Additionally, CBD is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis. It was discovered in 1940 and is known to exhibit neuroprotective properties in many experimental systems. However, development of CBD as a drug has been confounded by the following: 1) low potency; 2) a large number of molecular targets; 3) marginal pharmacokinetic properties; and 4) designation as a schedule 1 controlled substance. We view that companies specializing in the sale, distribution and manufacturing of CBD based products as some of our stronger competitors based on recent laws and regulatory schemes.

 

Government Approvals and Regulations

 

The formulation, manufacturing, processing, labeling, packaging, advertising and distribution of our products are subject to regulation by several federal agencies, including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). These activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. The FDA regulates the processing, formulation, safety, manufacture, packaging, labeling and distribution of dietary supplements (including vitamins, minerals, and herbs) and cosmetics, whereas the FTC has jurisdiction to regulate the advertising of these products.

 

The FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) regulations require dietary supplements to be prepared, packaged and held in compliance with strict rules, and require quality control provisions similar to those in the GMP regulations for drugs. The FDA could in the future choose to inspect one of our facilities for compliance with these regulations, and could cause non-compliant products made or held in the facility to be subject to FDA enforcement actions.

 

9
 

 

The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”) and their regulation of foods, dietary supplements and cosmetics may increase or become more restrictive in the future. Additional legislation could be passed which would impose substantial new regulatory requirements for dietary supplements, potentially raising our costs and hindering our business. We do not believe our current products are subject to the FDCA as our products are not intended to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease.

 

Our advertising is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, under the Federal Trade Commission Act. In recent years the FTC has initiated numerous investigations of dietary supplement and weight loss products and companies. Additionally, some states also permit advertising and labeling laws to be enforced by private attorney generals, who may seek relief for consumers, seek class action certifications, seek class wide damages and product recalls of products sold by us. Any of these types of adverse actions against us by governmental authorities or private litigants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In addition to FDA and FTC regulations, our products may face further regulation under the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, which governs international trade and domestic control of narcotic substances including cannabis extracts. Countries may interpret and implement their treaty obligations in a way that creates a legal obstacle to our obtaining marketing approval for our products in those countries. These countries may not be willing or able to amend or otherwise modify their laws and regulations to permit our products to be marketed, or achieving such amendments to the laws and regulations may take a prolonged period of time. In the case of countries with similar obstacles, we would be unable to market our product candidates in countries in the near future or perhaps at all if the laws and regulations in those countries do not change.

 

Additionally, the Company is also subject to California law regarding dissemination of information via advertising. Mainly, these rules and regulations relate to directing advertisements to people aged 21 years and older. The type of advertising the Company expects to conduct and pursue is similar to how alcohol companies direct their advertising and marketing efforts.

 

Controlled Substance Regulation

 

The move toward ending hemp prohibition and the reemergence of a hemp economy began with the 2014 Farm Bill, which provided states with opportunities to create pilot programs for hemp research. The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (“2018 Bill”) was signed into law at the end of December 2018 and expands on the 2014 Farm Bill. The 2018 Bill removes “hemp” (defined as cannabis plants containing less than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis) from the definition of “marihuana” in the Controlled Substances Act, decriminalizes the plant and its components, and as a result, transfers oversight of the cultivation and sale of the crop from the Drug Enforcement Administration to the Department of Agriculture.

 

The Company believes that the sales of its hemp-derived products are in compliance with all applicable regulations since all of its products that contain hemp contain less than 0.3% THC content and are sold only in states in the United States that have not prohibited the sale of hemp products.

 

At some point our products may be developed and be subject to U.S. controlled substance laws and regulations and failure to comply with these laws and regulations, or the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations, may adversely affect the results of our business operations, both during clinical development and post approval, and our financial condition.

 

Certain products we may develop could contain controlled substances as defined in the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970, or CSA. Controlled substances that are pharmaceutical products are subject to a high degree of regulation under the CSA, which establishes, among other things, certain registration, manufacturing quotas, security, recordkeeping, reporting, import, export and other requirements administered by the DEA. The DEA classifies controlled substances into five schedules: Schedule I, II, III, IV or V substances. Schedule I substances by definition have a high potential for abuse, no currently “accepted medical use” in the United States, lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and may not be prescribed, marketed or sold in the United States. Pharmaceutical products approved for use in the United States may be listed as Schedule II, III, IV or V, with Schedule II substances considered to present the highest potential for abuse or dependence and Schedule V substances the lowest relative risk of abuse among such substances. Schedule I and II drugs are subject to the strictest controls under the CSA, including manufacturing and procurement quotas, security requirements and criteria for importation. In addition, dispensing of Schedule II drugs is further restricted. For example, they may not be refilled without a new prescription. We do not intend to produce “controlled substances” at this time, due to regulatory complications.

 

Employees

 

As of January 16, 2020, we had 9 full-time employees. Grapefruit has 3 employees at its lab facilities. One of the lab employees is responsible for managing onsite operations at the distribution facility. Grapefruit has 1 inside sales and branding employee as well as 2 employees for operational support. Finally, the Company has 3 outside sales people located in Northern California. These sales people are in charge of Grapefruit’s bulk flower and trim sales. Our employees are not represented by a labor union or other collective bargaining groups at this point in time, and we consider relations with our employees to be good. We currently plan to retain and utilize the services of outside consultants for additional research, testing, regulatory, legal compliance and other services on an as needed basis.

Properties

 

We own approximately two acres of real property located in the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park in Desert Hot Springs, located on the extension of North Canyon Rd., approximately 10 miles north of the center of Palm Springs. We intend on building a fully integrated distribution, manufacturing and cultivation facility to become a seed to sale, fully vertically integrated Cannabis and CBD product Company.

 

Additionally, our cannabis and CBD extraction laboratory and distribution facility is located in the same Canna-Business Park. On September 1, 2018, the Company entered into a three-year lease for approximately 2,268 square feet which commenced on March 1, 2018. Monthly lease payments are approximately $1,134.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits, investigations and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not a party to any litigation whereby the outcome of such litigation, if determined adversely to us, would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a great deal of risk. Careful consideration should be made of the following factors as well as other information included in this prospectus before deciding to purchase our securities. There are many risks that affect our business and results of operations, some of which are beyond our control. Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed by any of these risks. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also affect our business and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2018. If we are unable to fund operations through our operating business and are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term as required or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.

 

We have generated losses and not yet achieved positive cash flows, which may adversely affect our liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve revenue growth, profitability or positive cash flow, on either a quarterly or annual basis, or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained. Our ability to meet our long-term business objectives likely will be dependent upon establishing increased cash flow from operations or securing other sources of financing. If our losses continue, however, our liquidity may be severely impaired, our stock price may fall and our shareholders may lose all or a significant portion of their investment.

 

We may not be able to implement our growth and marketing strategy successfully or on a timely basis or at all.

 

Our future success depends, in large part, on our ability to implement our growth strategy of expanding distribution and sales of our product portfolio, attracting new consumers to our brand and introducing new product lines and product extensions. Our ability to implement this growth strategy depends, among other things, on our ability to:

 

  enter into distribution and other strategic arrangements with other potential distributors of our all-natural raw material products;
     
  increase our brand recognition;
     
  expand and maintain brand loyalty; and
     
  research new applications for existing products and develop new product lines and extensions.

 

Our sales and operating results will be adversely affected if we fail to implement our growth strategy or if we invest resources in a growth strategy that ultimately proves unsuccessful.

 

We may not have the liquidity to support our future operations and capital requirements.

 

Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, in addition to the proceeds from this offering, we may need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to provide funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available when needed, our financial condition and operating results would be materially and adversely affected and we may not be able to operate our business without significant changes in our operations, or at all.

 

We sell our products in highly competitive markets, which results in pressure on our profit margins and limits our ability to maintain or increase the market share of our services.

 

The nutraceutical industry is subject to significant competition and pricing pressures. We will experience significant competitive pricing pressures as well as competitive products. Several significant competitors offer products with prices that may match or are lower than ours. We believe that the products we offer are generally competitive with those offered by other supplement and nutraceutical companies. It is possible that one or more of our competitors could develop a significant research advantage over us that allows them to provide superior products or pricing, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Continued pricing pressure or improvements in research and shifts in customer preferences away from natural supplements could adversely impact our customer base or pricing structure and have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

14
 

 

Marijuana, and Cannabinoids and CBD with more than 0.3% THC are illegal under federal law.

 

Marijuana, and CBD containing in excess of 0.3% THC are Schedule 1 controlled substances and are illegal under federal law, specifically the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811). Even in states that have legalized the use of marijuana, its sale and use remain violations of federal law. CBD and cannabinoids derived from industrial hemp are not distinguishable. Although the products we buy are certified as THC free, if there were mistakes in processing or mislabeling and THC were found in our products we could be subject to enforcement and prosecution which would have a negative impact on our business and operation.

 

Laws and regulations affecting our industry are constantly changing.

 

The constant evolution of laws and regulations affecting the marijuana industry could detrimentally affect our operations. Local, state and federal medical marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to changing interpretations. These changes may require us to incur substantial costs associated with legal and compliance fees and ultimately require us to alter our business plan. Furthermore, violations of these laws, or alleged violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, we cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, and it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business.

 

Our future growth is largely dependent upon our ability to successfully compete with new and existing competitors by developing or acquiring new products that achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins.

 

Our business operates in markets that are characterized by rapidly changing products, evolving industry standards and potential new entrants. For example, a number of new companies with innovative products, which promise significant health benefits are established every year and are competitive with our products. If these companies gain market acceptance, our ability to grow our business could be materially and adversely affected. Accordingly, our future success depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to accomplish the following: identify emerging trends in our target end-markets; develop, acquire and maintain competitive products; enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate us from our competitors; and develop or acquire and bring products to market quickly and cost-effectively. Our ability to develop or acquire new products based on quality research can affect our competitive position and requires the investment of significant resources. These acquisitions and development efforts divert resources from other potential investments in our businesses, and they may not lead to the development of new research or products on a timely basis. New or enhanced products may not satisfy consumer preferences and potential product failures may cause consumers to reject these products. As a result, these products may not achieve market acceptance and our brand image could suffer. In addition, our competitors may introduce superior designs or business strategies, impairing our brand and the desirability of our products, which may cause consumers to defer or forego purchases of our products or services. Also, the markets for our products and services may not develop or grow as we anticipate. The failure of our products to gain market acceptance, the potential for product defects or the obsolescence of our products could significantly reduce our revenue, increase our operating costs or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Our business is dependent on laws pertaining to the cannabis industry.

 

The federal government has issued guidance to federal prosecutors concerning marijuana enforcement under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The Cole Memorandum updates that guidance in light of state ballot initiatives that legalize under state law the possession of small amounts of marijuana and provide for the regulation of marijuana production, processing, and sale. The guidance set forth herein applies to all federal enforcement activity, including civil enforcement and criminal investigations and prosecutions, concerning marijuana in all states.

 

15
 

 

Congress has determined that marijuana is a dangerous drug and that the illegal distribution and sale of marijuana is a serious crime that provides a significant source of revenue to large-scale criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels. The Department of Justice is committed to enforcement of the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) consistent with those determinations. The Department is also committed to using its limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent, and rational way. In furtherance of those objectives, as several states enacted laws relating to the use of marijuana for medical purposes, the Department in recent years has focused its efforts on certain enforcement priorities that are particularly important to the federal government:

 

  Preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors;
     
  Preventing revenue from the sale of marijuana from going to criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels;
     
  Preventing the diversion of marijuana from states where it is legal under state law in some form to other states;
     
  Preventing state-authorized marijuana activity from being used as a cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity;
     
  Providing the necessary resources and demonstrate the willingness to enforce their laws, and,
     
  Enacting regulations in a manner that ensures they do not undermine federal enforcement priorities.

 

In jurisdictions that have enacted laws legalizing marijuana in some form, and that have also implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, distribution, sale, and possession of marijuana, conduct in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to threaten the federal priorities set forth above. Indeed, a robust system may affirmatively address those priorities by, for example, implementing effective measures to prevent diversion of marijuana outside of the regulated system and to other states, prohibiting access to marijuana by minors, and replacing an illicit marijuana trade that funds criminal enterprises with a tightly regulated market in which revenues are tracked and accounted for. In those circumstances, consistent with the traditional allocation of federal-state efforts in this area, enforcement of state law by state and local law enforcement and regulatory bodies should remain the primary means of addressing marijuana-related activity. If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust to protect against the harms set forth above, the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory structure itself in addition to continuing to bring individual enforcement actions, including criminal prosecutions, focused on those harms.

 

As with the Department’s previous statements on this subject, this memorandum is intended solely as a guide to the exercise of investigative and prosecutorial discretion. This memorandum does not alter in any way the Department’s authority to enforce federal law, including federal laws relating to marijuana, regardless of state law. Neither the guidance herein nor any state or local law provides a legal defense to a violation of federal law, including any civil or criminal violation of the CSA. Even in jurisdictions with strong and effective regulatory systems, evidence that particular conduct threatens federal priorities will subject that person or entity to federal enforcement action, based on the circumstances. This memorandum is not intended to, does not, and may not be relied upon to create any rights, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by any party in any matter civil or criminal. It applies prospectively to the exercise of prosecutorial discretion in future cases and does not provide defendants or subjects of enforcement action with a basis for reconsideration of any pending civil action or criminal prosecution. Finally, nothing herein precludes investigation or prosecution, even in the absence of any one of the factors listed above, in particular circumstances where investigation and prosecution otherwise serves an important federal interest.

 

As to the Company engaging in business outside of the jurisdiction of the U.S.A., the Company must first assume that the laws in other country(s), territories or destinations are similar to that of the U.S. Federal Government, however, the Company must then retain competent legal counsel in this outside jurisdiction and insisting that they understand and obtain a copy of these foreign laws and rules and should gain the expertise and representation of a foreign specialist or attorney in the foreign destination being considered prior to engaging in any cannabis, marijuana or hemp business.

 

The approach to the enforcement of cannabis laws may be subject to change or may not proceed as previously outlined.

 

As a result of the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis, involvement in the cannabis industry in the United States is subject to inconsistent legislation and regulation. The response to this inconsistency was addressed in the Cole Memo addressed to all United States district attorneys acknowledging that notwithstanding the designation of cannabis as a controlled substance at the federal level in the United States, several U.S. states have enacted laws relating to cannabis.

 

The Cole Memo outlined certain priorities for the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) relating to the prosecution of cannabis offences. In particular, the Cole Memo noted that in jurisdictions that have enacted laws legalizing cannabis in some form and that have also implemented strong and effective regulatory systems to control the cultivation, distribution and possession of cannabis, conduct in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to be a priority at the federal level. Notably, however, the DOJ has never provided specific guidelines for what regulatory and enforcement systems it deems sufficient under the Cole Memo standard.

 

In light of limited investigative and prosecutorial resources, the Cole Memo concluded that the DOJ should be focused on addressing only the most significant threats related to cannabis. States where medical cannabis had been legalized were not characterized as a high priority. In March 2017, newly appointed Attorney General Jeff Sessions again noted limited federal resources and acknowledged that much of the Cole Memo had merit; however, he disagreed that it had been implemented effectively and, on January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued the Sessions Memo, which rescinded the Cole Memo. The Sessions Memo rescinded previous nationwide guidance specific to the prosecutorial authority of the United States Attorneys relative to cannabis enforcement on the basis that they are unnecessary, given the well-established principles governing federal prosecution that are already in place. Those principles are included in chapter 9.27.000 of the United States Attorneys’ Manual and 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.

 

As a result of the Sessions Memo, federal prosecutors will now be free to utilize their prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to prosecute cannabis activities despite the existence of state-level laws that may be inconsistent with federal prohibitions. No direction was given to federal prosecutors in the Sessions Memo as to the priority they should ascribe to such cannabis activities, and as a result it is uncertain how active federal prosecutors will be in relation to such activities. Further, the Sessions Memo did not discuss the treatment of medical cannabis by federal prosecutors.

 

Medical cannabis is currently protected against enforcement by enacted legislation in the United States Congress in the form of the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment (the “RBA”) which similarly prevents federal prosecutors from using federal funds to impede the implementation of medical cannabis laws enacted at the state level, subject to Congress restoring such funding. Due to the ambiguity of the Sessions Memo in relation to medical cannabis, there can be no assurance that the federal government will not seek to prosecute cases involving cannabis businesses that are otherwise compliant with state law.

 

Pursuant to the RBA, the DOJ is prohibited from expending any funds for the prosecution of medical cannabis businesses operating in compliance with state and local laws. As of January 16, 2020, the RBA remains in effect and is scheduled to remain in effect through September 30, 2020. If the RBA or an equivalent thereof is not successfully amended to the next or any subsequent federal omnibus spending bill, the protection afforded thereby to U.S. medical cannabis businesses would lapse, and such businesses would be more at risk to prosecution under federal law.

 

Our business is subject to risk of government action.

 

While we will use our best efforts to comply with all laws, including federal, state and local laws and regulations, there is a possibility that governmental action to enforce any alleged violations may result in legal fees and damage awards that would adversely affect us.

Because our business is dependent upon continued market acceptance by consumers, any negative trends will adversely affect our business operations.

 

We are substantially dependent on continued market acceptance and proliferation of consumers of cannabis, medical marijuana and recreational marijuana as well as CBD and full spectrum cannabinoids. We believe that as marijuana becomes more accepted the stigma associated with marijuana use will diminish and as a result consumer demand will continue to grow. While we believe that the market and opportunity in the marijuana space continues to grow, we cannot predict the future growth rate and size of the market. Any negative outlook on the marijuana industry will adversely affect our business operations.

 

In addition, it is believed by many that large well-funded businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the cannabis industry. We believe that the pharmaceutical industry clearly does not want to cede control of any product that could generate significant revenue. Any inroads the pharmaceutical industry could make in halting the impending cannabis industry could have a detrimental impact on our business.

 

The failure to enforce and maintain our intellectual property rights could enable others to use trademarks used by our business which could adversely affect the value of the Company.

 

The success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing tradenames in order to increase our brand awareness. As of the date hereof, we do not have any federally registered trademarks owned by us, but we plan to pursue state registered trademarks with the State of California for our Sugar Stoned and Rainbow Dreams brands. The unauthorized use or other misappropriation of any of the foregoing trademarks or tradenames could diminish the value of our business which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

 

The possible FDA Regulation of cannabis marijuana and CBD, and the possible registration of facilities where cannabis is grown and CBD products are produced, if implemented, could negatively affect the cannabis industry generally, which could directly affect our financial condition.

 

The FDA has not approved cannabis, marijuana, industrial hemp or CBD derived from cannabis or industrial hemp as a safe and effective drug for any indication. The FDA considers these substances illegal Schedule 1 drugs. As of January 16, 2020, we have not, and do not intend to file an IND with the FDA, concerning any of our products that may contain cannabis, industrial hemp or CBD derived from industrial hemp. Further, the FDA has concluded that products containing cannabis, marijuana industrial hemp or CBD derived from industrial hemp are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under sections 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) and (ii) of the U.S. Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, respectively. Our products are not marketed or sold as dietary supplements. However, at some indeterminate future time, the FDA may choose to change its position concerning products containing cannabis, marijuana, or CBD derived from industrial hemp, and may choose to enact regulations that are applicable to such products, including, but not limited to: the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of cannabis and marijuana; regulations covering the physical facilities where cannabis and marijuana are grown; and possible testing to determine efficacy and safety of CBD. In this hypothetical event, our industrial hemp based products containing CBD may be subject to regulation. In the hypothetical event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, we do not know what the impact would be on the cannabis industry in general, and what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we are unable to comply with the conditions and possible costs of possible regulations and/or registration as may be prescribed by the FDA, we may be unable to continue to operate our business.

 

We may have difficulty accessing the service of banks.

 

On February 14, 2014, the U.S. government issued rules allowing banks to legally provide financial services to state-licensed marijuana businesses. A memorandum issued by the Justice Department to federal prosecutors re-iterated guidance previously given, this time to the financial industry that banks can do business with legal marijuana businesses and “may not” be prosecuted. The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued guidelines to banks that “it is possible to provide financial services” to state-licensed marijuana businesses and still be in compliance with federal anti-money laundering laws. The guidance falls short of the explicit legal authorization that banking industry officials had pushed the government to provide and to date, it is not clear if any banks have relied on the guidance and taken on legal marijuana companies as clients. The aforementioned policy may be administration dependent and a change in presidential administrations may cause a policy reversal and retraction of current policies, wherein legal marijuana businesses may not have access to the banking industry.

Banking regulations in our business are costly and time consuming.

 

In assessing the risk of providing services to a marijuana-related business, a financial institutions may conduct customer due diligence that includes: (i) verifying with the appropriate state authorities whether the business is duly licensed and registered; (ii) reviewing the license application (and related documentation) submitted by the business for obtaining a state license to operate its marijuana-related business; (iii) requesting from state licensing and enforcement authorities available information about the business and related parties; (iv) developing an understanding of the normal and expected activity for the business, including the types of products to be sold and the type of customers to be served (e.g., medical versus recreational customers); (v) ongoing monitoring of publicly available sources for adverse information about the business and related parties; (vi) ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity, including for any of the red flags described in this guidance; and (vii) refreshing information obtained as part of customer due diligence on a periodic basis and commensurate with the risk. With respect to information regarding state licensure obtained in connection with such customer due diligence, a financial institution may reasonably rely on the accuracy of information provided by state licensing authorities, where states make such information available. These regulatory reviews may be time consuming and costly. Currently we are not licensed and have operated in a manner to avoid the necessity of licensure by not using products containing THC, nevertheless CBD and cannibinoids are still part of the cannabis plant and as such are considered schedule 1 drugs, as such many banks will not transact business with us. We have been successful to date in finding merchant credit card processing and a bank that will do business with us. If either of them decided to cease doing business with us we would not have a way to receive payment and our operations would be negatively affected unless we could find a new bank or processor that would work with us, of which there can be no assurance.

 

Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liability.

 

Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as general liability, and directors and officer’s insurance, is more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because we are service providers to companies in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.

 

The Company’s industry is highly competitive and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.

 

We are involved in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or products that make our products obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other entities.

 

Our products and services are new and our industry is rapidly evolving.

 

Due consideration must be given to our prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in the rapidly evolving legal cannabis industry. To be successful in this industry, we must, among other things:

 

  develop and introduce functional and attractive service offerings;
     
  attract and maintain a large base of consumers;
     
  increase awareness of our brands and develop consumer loyalty;

 

18
 

 

  establish and maintain strategic relationships with distribution partners and service providers;
     
  respond to competitive and technological developments;
     
  attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

 

We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving these goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

 

Some of our products and services are new and are only in early stages of commercialization. We are not certain that these products and services will function as anticipated or be desirable to its intended market. Also, some of our products may have limited functionalities, which may limit their appeal to consumers and put us at a competitive disadvantage. If our current or future products and services fail to function properly or if we do not achieve or sustain market acceptance, we could lose customers or could be subject to claims which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for the Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. We cannot guarantee that a market for the Company will develop or that demand for Company’s products and services will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

 

Adverse publicity or consumer perception of our products and any similar products distributed by others could harm our reputation and adversely affect our sales and revenues.

 

We believe we are highly dependent upon positive consumer perceptions of the safety and quality of our products as well as similar products distributed by other health and wellness companies. Consumer perception of health products, nutrition supplements and our products in particular can be substantially influenced by scientific research or findings, national media attention and other publicity about product use. Adverse publicity from these sources regarding the safety, quality or efficacy of nutritional supplements and our products could harm our reputation and results of operations. The mere publication of news articles or reports asserting that such products may be harmful or questioning their efficacy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether such news articles or reports are scientifically supported or whether the claimed harmful effects would be present at the dosages recommended for such products.

 

Our operating results may fluctuate, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations.

 

Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which may be outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our quarterly, year-to-date, and annual expenses as a percentage of our revenues may differ significantly from our historical or projected rates. Our operating results in future quarters may fall below expectations. Each of the following factors may affect our operating results:

 

our ability to deliver products in a timely manner in sufficient volumes;
   
 our ability to recognize product trends;
   
our loss of one or more significant customers;
   
 the introduction of successful new products by our competitors;
   
adverse media reports on the use or efficacy of nutritional supplements; and
   
our inability to make our online division profitable.

 

19
 

 

Because our business is changing and evolving, our historical operating results may not be useful to you in predicting our future operating results.

 

The loss of key management personnel could adversely affect our business.

 

We depend on the continued services of our executive officers and senior management team as they work closely with independent representative and are responsible for our day-to-day operations. Our success depends in part on our ability to retain our executive officers, to compensate our executive officers at attractive levels, and to continue to attract additional qualified individuals to our management team. Although we have entered into employment agreements with members of our senior management team, and do not believe that any of them are planning to leave or retire in the near term, we cannot assure that our senior managers will remain with us. The loss or limitation of the services of any of our executive officers or members of our senior management team, or the inability to attract additional qualified management personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or independent associate relations.

 

Independent Sales Representatives could fail to comply with our policies and procedures or make improper product, compensation, marketing or advertising claims that violate laws or regulations, which could result in claims against us that could harm our financial condition and operating results.

 

We sell our products through a sales force of independent representatives. The independent representatives are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a position to provide the same direction, motivation, and oversight as we would if associates were our own employees. As a result, there can be no assurance that our representatives will participate in our marketing strategies or plans, accept our introduction of new products, or comply with our policies and procedures. All independent representatives will be required to sign a written contract and agree to adhere to our policies and procedures, which prohibit associates from making false, misleading or other improper claims regarding products or income potential from the distribution of the products. However, independent representatives may from time to time, without our knowledge and in violation of our policies, create promotional materials or otherwise provide information that does not accurately describe our marketing program. There is a possibility that some jurisdictions could seek to hold us responsible for independent representatives activities that violate applicable laws or regulations, which could result in government or third-party actions or fines against us, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

 

Uncertainty of profitability.

 

Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of revenues and earnings. As we only have a limited number of products developed at this time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of products and our ability to develop or find new ones or new applications as well as our research and development efforts, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products offered and their market acceptance.

 

Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market for medical and recreational marijuana. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.

 

Because of the anticipated nature of the products that we offer and attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:

 

  Our ability to raise sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate sufficient revenues to cover expenses.
     
  Our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns.
     
  Our ability to manage our capital and liquidity requirements based on changing market conditions generally and changes in the developing legal medical marijuana and recreational marijuana industries.

 

20
 

 

  The acceptance of the terms and conditions of our service.
     
  The amount and timing of operating and other costs and expenses.
     
  The nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations.
     
  Adverse changes in the national and regional economies in which we will participate, including, but not limited to, changes in our performance, capital availability, and market demand.
     
  Adverse changes in the projects in which we plan to invest which result from factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, a change in circumstances, capacity and economic impacts.
     
  Adverse developments in the efforts to legalize marijuana or increased federal enforcement.
     
  Changes in laws, regulations, accounting, taxation, and other requirements affecting our operations and business.
     
  Our operating results may fluctuate from year to year due to the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant.

 

Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.

 

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.

 

We are entering a potentially highly competitive market.

 

The markets for businesses in the medical marijuana and recreational marijuana industries as well as their related CBD and cannabinoid industries are competitive and evolving. In particular, we face strong competition from larger companies that may be in the process of offering similar products and services to ours. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger client bases than we have (or may be expected to have).

 

Given the rapid changes affecting the global, national, and regional economies generally and the medical marijuana and recreational marijuana industries, in particular, we may not be able to create and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with any changes in its markets, especially with legal and regulatory changes. Our success will depend on our ability to respond to, among other things, changes in the economy, market conditions, and competitive pressures. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, liquidity, cash flow and our operational performance.

 

If we fail to protect our intellectual property, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Our viability will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our products and brands to distinguish our products from our competitors’ products. We rely on patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and confidentiality provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property. Any infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property could damage its value and limit our ability to compete. We may have to engage in litigation to protect the rights to our intellectual property, which could result in significant litigation costs and require a significant amount of our time. Competitors may also harm our sales by designing products that mirror the capabilities of our products or technology without infringing on our intellectual property rights. If we do not obtain sufficient protection for our intellectual property, or if we are unable to effectively enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitiveness could be impaired, which would limit our growth and future revenue. We may also find it necessary to bring infringement or other actions against third parties to seek to protect our intellectual property rights. Litigation of this nature, even if successful, is often expensive and time-consuming to prosecute, and there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources to enforce our rights or be able to enforce our rights, or prevent other parties from developing similar technology or designing around our intellectual property.

 

21
 

 

Our lack of sufficient patent and/or trademark or copyright protection and any unauthorized use of our proprietary information and technology may affect our business.

 

We currently rely on a combination of protections by patents and contracts, including confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements, and common law rights, such as trade secrets, to protect our intellectual property. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property from misappropriation in the U.S. and abroad. This risk may be increased due to the lack of certain patent and/or copyright protection. Any patent issued to us could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or rights granted thereunder may not provide a competitive advantage to us. Furthermore, patent applications that we file may not result in issuance of a patent, or, if a patent is issued, the patent may not be issued in a form that is advantageous to us. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, others may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around our patents and other rights. In addition, it is difficult to monitor compliance with, and enforce, our intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis in a cost-effective manner. In jurisdictions where foreign laws provide less intellectual property protection than afforded in the U.S., our technology or other intellectual property may be compromised, and our business could be materially adversely affected. If any of our proprietary rights are misappropriated or we are forced to defend our intellectual property rights, we will have to incur substantial costs. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including diverting the time and effort of our senior management, and could disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial resources to oppose any actual or threatened infringement by any third party. Furthermore, any patent or copyrights that we may be granted may be held by a court to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and subject us to the payment of damage awards.

 

Ordinary and necessary business deduction other than the cost of goods sold are disallowed by the Internal Revenue Services for Cannabis companies under IRC Section 280E.

 

At this juncture, we do not believe that IRS 280E interferes with our businesses model from deducting ordinary and necessary business expenses because we believe that we are in compliance with the 2014 Farm Bill and/or the products we sell are either from participants that are compliant with the 2014 Farm Bill or are made from lawfully imported industrial hemp full spectrum cannabinoids or CBD. Although we believe that the Farm Bill applies to commercial activity in that it references the “marketing,” “sale” and “transportation,” of industrial hemp and hemp products that are derived from an authorized state program, it is possible that our suppliers may not be in compliance with the Farm Bill or that a government agency or prosecutor could take a narrower view of the activity allowed under the Farm Bill or import laws, if that were the case we could be seen as selling and distributing a Schedule 1 substance under the CSA and we would therefore be subject to IRC Section 280E. IRC Section 280E only allows the cost of goods sold to be deducted from revenues earned from the sale of cannabis and cannabis products that come under the purview of the CSA. If that were the case we would not be able to deduct many of our overhead expenses. To the extent that we have subsidiaries and other lines of trade or business, many of those overhead expenses could be allocated to those subsidiaries that are note involved in products that come within the CSA so we would have an opportunity to deduct those disallowed expenses elsewhere. Nevertheless, the revenue that is derived from those other trade or businesses may not be as large as the corresponding deductions so be may still not be able to realize the full benefit of those expenses and instead have net operating losses in the other trade or businesses that we would not be able to use or would have to carry-forward indefinitely. In addition, if the Company enters the cannabis industry more directly, for example if the company were to purchase a marijuana dispensary that was legal under state law and operated in compliance with state law, IRC Section 280E would unquestionably be applicable in which case the onerous tax burden might significantly impact the profitability of the Company and may make the pricing of its products less competitive, to the extent that competitors could manage to find a way to not have their operations subject to IRC Section 280E. Notwithstanding the forgoing, there can be no assurance that if we were to reallocate items of deduction form business segments that were involved in the sales of products coming within the CSA that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) would not challenge those deductions or disallow them on some other basis. This could result in an onerous tax burden.

 

22
 

 

Our involvement in the cannabis industry may make it difficult to obtain insurance coverage.

 

In the event that we decide to commence business operations in the U.S., of which there can be no assurance, obtaining and maintaining necessary insurance coverage, for such things as workers compensation, general liability, product liability and directors and officers insurance, may be more difficult and/or expensive for us to find because we are involved in the cannabis industry. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find such insurance in the near future, if needed, or that the cost of coverage will be affordable or cost-effective. If, either because of unavailability or cost prohibitive reasons, we are compelled to operate without insurance coverage, we may be prevented from entering certain business sectors, experience inhibited growth potential and/or be exposed to additional risks and financial liabilities.

 

We are highly dependent on the success of cannabinoid technology, and we may not be able to develop the technology, successfully obtain regulatory or marketing approval for, or successfully commercialize, our products or product candidates.

 

Our business is focused upon the research and development of medical cannabis therapies, products and delivery technologies. Our success is dependent upon the viability of the development of medical cannabis therapies, products and delivery technologies.

 

Neither we nor any other company has received regulatory approval from the FDA to market any therapeutics, products or delivery technologies based on botanical cannabinoids, though the FDA has approved two drugs that contain a synthetic substance that acts similarly to cannabis compounds but is not present in the cannabis plant. Further, the scientific evidence underlying the feasibility of developing medical cannabis therapies, products and delivery technologies is both preliminary and limited.

 

If our Cannabis-Based Medical product prospects are found to be ineffective or unsafe in humans, or if the never receive regulatory approval for commercialization, we may never be able bring our Cannabis-Based Medical Products prospects to market and may never become profitable. Further, our current business strategy, including all of our research and development, is primarily focused on utilizing cannabinoid technology to develop medical cannabis therapies, products and delivery technologies. This lack of diversification increases the risk associated with the ownership of our Common Stock. If we are unsuccessful in developing and commercializing our Cannabis-Based Medical product prospects, we may be required to alter our scope and direction and steer away from the intellectual property we have developed as well as the core capabilities of our management team and advisory board. Without successful commercialization of our Cannabis-Based Medical product prospects, we may never become profitable, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Unfavorable publicity or consumer perception of our products and any similar products distributed by other companies could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We believe the nutritional supplement market is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of nutritional supplements generally, as well as of products distributed specifically by us. Consumer perception of our products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, national media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of nutritional supplements. We cannot assure you that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other favorable research findings or publicity will be favorable to the nutritional supplement market or any product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favorable than, or that question, such earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and consequently on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

23
 

 

Our dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, if accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products, the availability and pricing of our ingredients, and our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, adverse public reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of nutritional supplements in general, or our products specifically, or associating the consumption of nutritional supplements with illness, could have such a material adverse effect. Any such adverse public reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed and the content of such public reports and other media attention may be beyond our control.

 

Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial and other resources than we do.

 

Our products compete and will compete with other similar products produced by our competitors. These competitive products could be marketed by well-established, successful companies that possess greater financial, marketing, distributional, personnel and other resources than we possess. Using these resources, these companies can implement extensive advertising and promotional campaigns, both generally and in response to specific marketing efforts by competitors, and enter into new markets more rapidly to introduce new products. In certain instances, competitors with greater financial resources also may be able to enter a market in direct competition with us, offering attractive marketing tools to encourage the sale of products that compete with our products or present cost features that consumers may find attractive.

 

Risks Related to Our Securities

 

We may in the future issue more shares which could cause a loss of control by our present management and current stockholders.

 

We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of the voting power and equity of our Company. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control our Company, and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of our Company by our current shareholders, which could present significant risks to investors.

 

We have not paid dividends but may in the future.

 

We have not paid dividends on our common stock. While we may pay dividends in future after allocating adequate reserves, we do not guarantee, commit and undertake that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

 

The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our securities.

 

We are a “penny stock” company. Our shares of common stock are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or Accredited Investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “Accredited Investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers of our stock to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

 

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks”. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

 

Our common stock market prices may be volatile, which substantially increases the risk that investors may not be able to sell their Securities at or above the price that was paid for the security.

 

Because of the limited trading market for our common stock and because of the possible price volatility, shareholders may not be able to sell their shares of common stock when desired. The inability to sell Securities in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase the risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our Securities may suffer greater declines because of our price volatility.

 

Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to the following:

 

● variations in our quarterly operating results;

 

● loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant transactions;

 

● additions or departures of key personnel; and

 

● fluctuations in stock market price and volume.

 

Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the personal care markets in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on shareholders’ investments in our stock.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our Company and any gain on an investment in our Company will need to come through an increase in our stock’s price, which may never happen.

 

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not currently intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

 

Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.

 

Our shares as penny stocks, are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our company’s securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules require brokers who sell “penny stocks” to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the secondary market for our shares of common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our shares of common stock.

 

25
 

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

Because we may issue additional shares of our common stock, investment in our company could be subject to substantial dilution.

 

Investors’ interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. We are authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share. As of January 16, 2020, there were 486,320,329 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell more common stock, investors’ investment in our company will likely be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what investors pay for their stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our company’s common stock could seriously decline in value.

 

Trading in our common stock on the OTCQB Marketplace has been subject to wide fluctuations.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted for public trading on the OTCQB Exchange. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with limited business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common stock will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted only on the OTCQB Marketplace, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace. The OTCQB Marketplace is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ stock market. The quotation of our shares of common stock on the OTCQB Marketplace may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

 

There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. 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 not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate 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 desire to sell them. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.

 

Our Executive Officers and Directors, Messrs. Bradley Yourist and Daniel Yourist, possess controlling voting power with respect to our common stock, which will limit your influence on corporate matters.

 

As of January 16, 2020, our executive officers and directors, Messrs. Bradley Yourist and Daniel Yourist, collectively beneficially own approximately 53.46% of the shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis.

 

Upon the closing of this offering, if the 68,381,913 shares of common stock underlying the Notes are issued and 39,000,000 Warrant Shares underlying the warrants are also exercised in full, our directors and executive officers will collectively beneficially own approximately 43.45% of the shares of our common stock on a fully-diluted basis.

 

As a result, our insiders have the ability to effectively control our management and affairs through the election and removal of our Board and all other matters requiring stockholder approval, including any future merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentrated control could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change-of-control transaction that may otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders. Furthermore, this concentrated control will limit the practical effect of your influence over our business and affairs, through any stockholder vote or otherwise. Any of these effects could depress the price of our common stock.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected revenue growth and profitability, our growth strategies and opportunity, anticipated trends in our market and our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as in this prospectus generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, market acceptance, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results.

 

Examples of forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, operating expenses, working capital, liquidity and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of components, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

 

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

  changes in the market acceptance of our products;
     
  increased levels of competition;
     
  changes in political, economic or regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we operate;
     
  our relationships with our key customers;
     
  our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees;
     
  our ability to quickly and effectively respond to new technological developments;
     
  our ability to protect our trade secrets or other proprietary rights, operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from infringing on the proprietary rights of the Company; and
     
  other risks, including those described in the “Risk Factors” discussion of this prospectus.

 

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the Selling Security Holder. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the Selling Security Holder as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Security Holder” and “Plan of Distribution”. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the common stock for the Selling Security Holder.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The Selling Security Holder will offer common stock at the prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The offering price of our common stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. Our common stock may not trade at the market prices in excess of the offering prices for common stock in any public market will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

 

SELLING SECURITY HOLDER

 

The 107,391,713 shares being offered for resale in this registration statement include: (i) 68,381,913 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) 39,000,000 Warrant Shares underlying warrants held by the Selling Security Holder pursuant to the SPA in the Company’s May 2019 offering as described below.

 

The May 2019 Offering 

 

On May 31, 2019, the Company executed the SPA with Auctus pursuant to the terms of which the Company agreed to sell the Securities to Auctus. Auctus is the Selling Security Holder. In addition, on May 31, 2019, we also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement whereby we are obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of the shares underlying the Securities. The Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part is being filed to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the SPA, Auctus became obligated to purchase the $4,000,000 of Notes from IGNG in four tranches as follows: $600,000 at the SPA closing, which was funded on June 6, 2019; the second tranche of $1,400,000 on the day IGNG files the Registration Statement, which was funded on August 16, 2019; the third tranche of $1 million will be funded the day the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective and the fourth tranche of $1 million will be funded 90 days after effectiveness. As of January 16, 2020, the first and second tranches of this financing have been completed and the Company has received gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Pursuant to the terms of Notes, the 68,381,913 shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes being registered in the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part is based on dividing the $4,000,000 principal of the Notes by a conversion price as of January 6, 2020. This conversion price is equal to a 5% discount to the closing share price of $0.0721 on January 6, 2020 ($0.0685) minus $0.01 for a conversion price of $0.0585. The 39,000,000 Warrant Shares being registered hereby underly the warrants issued in June 2019 consisting of (i) 16,000,000 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $0.125 per share, subject to adjustment; (ii) 15,000,000 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment; and (iii) 8,000,000 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment, for an aggregate amount of 39,000,000 Warrant Shares. The Company will not be issuing any further warrants to Auctus pursuant to the SPA.

 

The Notes have a two year term and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The Notes are redeemable at any time between the date of issuance and maturity at 150% of face value. The Notes will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at 95% of the mathematical average of the five lowest trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB for the period from May 31, 2019 to the maturity date of the Notes being converted less $0.01 for conversions at less than $0.15, and less $0.02 for conversions at more than $0.15.

 

Pursuant to the SPA, during the period beginning on May 31, 2019 and ending May 31, 2020, the Company will not conduct any equity financing (“Future Offerings”), unless it shall have first delivered to Auctus, at least seventy two (72) business hours prior to the closing of such Future Offering, written notice describing the proposed Future Offering providing Auctus an option during the seventy two (72) business hour period following delivery of such notice to purchase the securities being offered in the Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering. This shall not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the Effective Date or to the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the Company.

 

The warrants are exercisable for a term of five-years from the date of issuance. The warrants provide for cashless exercise to the extent that there is no registration statement available for the underlying shares of Common Stock. The exercise prices shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price (as defined in the warrants) and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the warrants shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Prices payable under the warrants, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise prices, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise prices prior to such adjustment.

 

28
 

 

In connection with the SPA, the Company and Auctus entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

 

In connection with the SPA, so long as: (i) an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has not occurred under the Notes or any convertible promissory note issued by the Company to the Selling Security Holder; (ii) the Company files the Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement; (iii) the Registration Statement contains all of the material information required by Form S-1; (iv) the lowest closing price for the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading day period prior to the filing date of the Registration Statement is greater than $0.02; and (v) the Average Daily Trading Value (as defined in the SPA) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading day period prior to the filing date of the Registration Statement is greater than $15,000.00, then the Selling Security Holder shall fund an additional convertible promissory note in the face amount of $1,400,000.00 to be issued by the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Notes and transaction documents entered into in connection with the Notes. This amount was received in August 2019.

 

So long as: (i) an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has not occurred under the Notes or any convertible promissory note issued by the Company to the Selling Security Holder; (ii) the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; (iii) the Registration Statement contains all of the material information required by Form S-1; (iv) the lowest closing price for the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading day period prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Effective Date”) is greater than $0.04 and (v) the Average Daily Trading Value (as defined in the SPA) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading day period prior to the Effective Date is greater than $15,000.00, then the Selling Security Holder shall fund an additional convertible promissory note in the face amount of $1,000,000.00 to be issued by the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Notes and transaction documents entered into in connection with the Notes. None of these conditions are in the control of the Selling Security Holder.

 

So long as: (i) an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has not occurred under the Notes or any convertible promissory note issued by the Company to the Selling Security Holder; (ii) the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; (iii) the Registration Statement contains all of the material information required by Form S-1; (iv) the lowest closing price for the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading day period prior to the date which is ninety (90) calendar days after the Effective Date is greater than $0.04 and (v) the Average Daily Trading Value (as defined in the SPA) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading day period prior to the date which is ninety (90) calendar days after the Effective Date is greater than $15,000.00, then the Selling Security Holder shall fund an additional convertible promissory note in the face amount of $1,000,000.00 to be issued by the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Notes and transaction documents entered into in connection with the Notes. None of these conditions are in the control of the Selling Security Holder.

 

Under the terms of the SPA and the Warrants, the Selling Security Holder may not either convert the Notes nor exercise the Warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Selling Security Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares. The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. The Selling Security Holder may sell all, some or none of its shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

All expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the Common Stock will be borne by us, but we will not be obligated to pay any underwriting fees, discounts, commission or other expenses incurred by the Selling Security Holder in connection with the sale of such shares.

 

Except as indicated below, neither the Selling Security Holder nor any of its associates or affiliates has held any position, office, or other material relationship with us in the past three years.

 

The following table sets forth the name of the Selling Security Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Selling Security Holder as of the date hereof and the number of shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Security Holder. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the Selling Security Holder may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the Selling Security Holder is under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor is the Selling Security Holder obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the Selling Security Holder. The “Number of Shares Beneficially Owned After the Offering” column assumes the sale of all shares offered.

 

29
 

 

The common stock being offered by the Selling Security Holder are those issuable to the Selling Security Holder, upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the Notes. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the Selling Security Holder to offer these shares for resale from time to time. Except for the investment in the Note and the warrants, the Selling Security Holder have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the Selling Security Holder and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the Selling Security Holder. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each Selling Security Holder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of the date hereof, assuming conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants held by the Selling Security Holder on such date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Security Holder.

 

This prospectus generally covers the resale of the 68,381,913 shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Notes and the 39,000,000 Warrant Shares underlying the warrants issued in June 2019, with the latter determined as if the warrants in question were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Notes. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Security Holder pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the Note and Warrants, a Selling Security Holder may not exercise the Warrants or convert the Note to the extent such exercise or conversion would cause such Selling Security Holder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise or conversion, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants which have not been exercised and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note which has not been converted. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Security Holder may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Each Selling Security Holder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Security Holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  settlement of short sales that are not in violation of Regulation SHO;
     
  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Security Holder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
     
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Security Holder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Security Holder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Security Holder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM- 2440.

 

31
 

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Security Holder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Security Holder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Security Holder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Security Holder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Security Holder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Security Holder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Security Holder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Our initial operations began in September of 2017 when the company was formed, and our first sales of our product occurred in July of 2018. In April of 2019 our production facilities in Coachillin’ became fully operational. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $332,041 compared to $130,880 for the corresponding period in 2018, an increase of $201,161, or 154%. The increase was primarily due to increase in bulk trim sales of $324,000 offset by a decrease in distribution services of $88,000 and retail sales of $39,000.

 

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $543,999 compared to $130,028 for the corresponding period in 2018, an increase of $413,970. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales for 2019.

 

Our resulting gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $(211,988) and $852, respectively. During this initial emerging business ramp and increase in period over period sales, we used pricing strategies to obtain market penetration. We expect this strategy to continue for the near future while achieving significantly improved gross margins during 2020.

 

Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $959,360 compared to $123,019 for the corresponding period in 2018, The increase in expense is primarily due to legal and accounting costs associated with Grapefruit becoming a public company. 

 

Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily reflects the change in value of derivative instruments.

 

Our resulting net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $3,577,336 and $318,171, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018.

 

The following sets forth selected items from our statements of operations for three months ended September 30, 2019 and for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

    Three Months

Net revenues   $ -     $ 127,100

Gross Profit     -       53,767  
General and administrative expense     761,416       35,629

Provision for income taxes     -       -  
Net (loss) income   $ (2,918,151 )   $ 7,053  

 

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0 compared to $127,100 for the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease was due to four factors: 1. After we initially made the decision to go forward with the Grapefruit/IGNG reverse acquisition and become a public company, we were advised by a cannabis accounting expert consultant to cease our wholesale cannabis distribution activities to insure that the cash management protocols which we were utilizing at the time (commencing in March 2019) were fully compliant with applicable California regulations such that that the preparation of our audit would not be negatively affected by those wholesale cannabis distribution activities. From our inception to that time, these cannabis wholesale activities had been the major source of our revenues, but we chose to be conservative and temporarily shut them down while we examined the cash management protocols we utilized to operate our cannabis wholesale activities to assure they were in compliance with all applicable California laws and regulations and consequently suffer a short term drop in revenue to insure full compliance and a successful audit; 2. Management’s focus shifted to completing the Grapefruit/IGNG acquisition which required much additional management time and expense; 3. A lack of working capital which was caused, in significant part, by the costs of transition to public company status and; 4. delay in connection with the full time operation of our Desert Hot Springs, CA ethanol extraction laboratory due to factors 2 and 3 above. Thankfully, after a review of our cash management protocols, it was determined that the cash management protocols that we utilized from inception through the end of March, 2019 were compliant and would not negatively affect our receipt of a clean audit opinion on our Company, the audit commenced in late August, 2019, we completed the Grapefruit/IGNG reverse acquisition process, freeing up management to focus on our business operations and we completed the first two tranches of the Auctus investment. The combination of these factors allowed us to restart our wholesale cannabis distribution activities in early September 2019 and that business is currently being aggressively ramped up. Furthermore, for the same reasons, the ethanol extraction plant has been restarted and is producing THC crude oil on a daily basis.

 

As a result of the above, cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $0 as compared to $73,333 for the corresponding period in 2018.

 

Our resulting gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $0 and $53,767, respectively.

 

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $761,461 compared to $35,629 for the corresponding period in 2018. The increase in costs include $421,969 for legal, audit, accounting, and investor relations expenses, as well as $90,526 of plant facility and other related costs.

 

Our resulting net loss/income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $(761,461) and $7,053, respectively.

 

The Company acquired derivative liabilities with the Share Exchange on July 10, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded a change in the value of derivatives of $(2,030,995). There were no derivatives held by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2018; hence, there was $0 of related expense during that period.

As noted above, our initial operations began in September of 2017 when the company was formed, and our first sales of our product occurred in July of 2018. In April of 2019 our production facilities in Coachillin’ became fully operational. Accordingly, revenue for the year ended April 31, 2019 was $513,543 compared to $0 for the period ended April 30, 2018.

 

Cost of goods sold for the year ended April 30, 2019 was $502,360 compared to $0 for the period ended April 30, 2018.

 

Our resulting gross profit for the year ended April 30, 2019 and the period ended April 30, 2018 was $(272,278) and $0, respectively. During this initial emerging business ramp and increase in period over period sales, we used pricing strategies to obtain market penetration.

 

The costs of our efforts to prepare our production facilities for operations in Coachillin’ during the period ended April 30, 2018 were charged to research and development in the amount of $133,794.

 

Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended April 30, 2019 were $283,461 compared to $2,295,107 for the period ended April 30, 2018. The 2018 expense included a charge of $2.0 million of stock based executive compensation expense.

 

Included in other expense for the year ended April 30, 2018 is an impairment charge of $195,385 related to our investment in LVCA.

  

Our resulting net losses for the year ended April 30, 2019 and the period ended April 30, 2018 were $524,043 and $2,493,861, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash position increased to $467,387 as of September 30, 2019 from $65,922 as of December 31, 2018. The increase in cash was primarily due to the issuance of debt in connection with the consummation of our Share Exchange Agreement. Our total current assets increased to $1,227,850 as of September 30, 2019, from $166,745 as of December 31, 2018. Included in current assets as of September 30, 2019 is $361,597 of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods inventory which we expect to turn over within the next two quarters.

 

37
 

 

Our total current liabilities increased to $4,956,071 as of September 30, 2019 from $767,013 as of December 31, 2018. This increase is primarily due to the liabilities assumed with Share Exchange Agreement transaction.

  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we used $(1,329,633) of net cash for operating activities, as compared cash provided by operations of $326,619 used during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $206,486, as compared to $1,439,502 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1,937,584, as compared to $1,371,025 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

We expect our working capital requirements in the next twelve months to be met primarily by the proceeds of issuance of debt, convertible instruments and other securities to our existing creditor, shareholders, and other investors, as well as from cash flow from operations. We expect to need additional working capital from outside sources to cover our anticipated operating expenses. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or financing to continue in business or to effectively execute its business plan.

 

Going Concern Qualification

 

We have incurred significant losses from operations, and such losses are expected to continue. In their report on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, we have limited working capital. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan includes, among other things, by issuance of debt and by seeking additional equity financing by selling our equity securities. We cannot guarantee that additional capital and/or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available it will be on terms acceptable to us. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The “Going Concern Qualification” may make it substantially more difficult for us to raise capital.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We monitor our estimates on an on-going basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

 

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on the grant date fair values of the awards. For stock option awards to employees with service and/or performance based vesting conditions, the fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our statements of operations. Our stock-based awards are comprised principally of shares issued for services and stock options.

 

We account for stock options issued to non-employees in accordance with the guidance for equity-based payments to non-employees. Stock option awards to non-employees are accounted for at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Management believes that the fair value of stock options is more reliably measured than the fair value of the services received. The fair value of the unvested portion of the options granted to non-employees is re-measured each period. The resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered.

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment in determining the fair value of our awards. The most significant assumptions and judgments include estimating the fair value of our underlying stock, the expected volatility and the expected term of the award. In addition, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense is impacted by estimated forfeiture rates

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, and is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue, cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The adoption of ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective approach, had no significant impact on the Company’s results of operation, cash flows or financial position.

 

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. All revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation and are short term in nature. Generally, the Company extends credit to its customers and does not require collateral. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and historic credit losses have been within management’s expectations. The Company has a revenue receivables policy for service and warranty contracts. Equipment sales usually have a one-year warranty of parts and service. After a one-year period, the Company contacts the buyer to initiate the sale of a new warranty contract for one year. Warranty revenues are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract or as services are performed.

 

Research and Development

 

Costs and expenses that can be clearly identified as research and development are charged to expense as incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730-10. Included in research and development costs are operating costs, facilities, supplies, external services, clinical trial and manufacturing costs, and overhead directly related to the Company’s research and development operations, as well as costs to acquire technology licenses.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840)” and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The ASU is designed to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions which include – the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception, (ASU 2017-11). Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible Form instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Other Accounting Factors

 

The effects of inflation have not had a material impact on our operation, nor are they expected to in the immediate future.

 

BUSINESS

 

Our Company

 

Imaging3, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: IGNG) was incorporated on October 29, 1993 as Imaging Services, Inc. in the state of California. The Company filed a certificate of amendment of articles of incorporation to change its name to Imaging3, Inc. on August 20, 2002. From August 2002 until March 2019, the Company was a development stage medical device company. The Company was unable to raise sufficient capital to commercialize its imaging technology. The Company re-domiciled in Delaware by means of a merger of the Company with and into the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Imaging3, Inc., a Delaware corporation in March of 2018.

 

Share Exchange

 

The Company began discussions with Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc., a California corporation (“Grapefruit”), on March 1, 2019, regarding the possible reverse acquisition of the Company by Grapefruit.

 

On March 11, 2019 the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to be acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by Grapefruit. Grapefruit holds licenses issued by the State of California to manufacture and distribute cannabis products in California. Grapefruit commenced operations in mid-2018 and has received more than $450,000.00 in revenue from operations since Grapefruit own and operate a manufacturing plant and distribution center within the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna Business Park in Desert Hot Springs near Palm Springs in Riverside County, California (the “Coachillin Site”). On Thursday, March 7, 2019 Grapefruit obtained its final permit and clearance from local authorities to commence operation of an ethanol extraction laboratory (the “Extraction Lab”) at the Coachillin site and commenced extraction and post production processing operations. The Extraction Lab is expected to be able to produce both THC and CBD oils from either Biomass or unrefined biomass or crude oil.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company and Grapefruit initiated negotiations intended to result in completion of a definitive Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) encompassing all of the material terms of the Exchange Agreement during the second quarter of 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Exchange Agreement provided, among other things, that upon conclusion of the Acquisition, Grapefruit’s designees would own 80% of the then outstanding common shares of the Company and the Company’s current shareholders would own 20% of such outstanding common shares. In addition, the Company was required to settle certain outstanding creditor obligations on terms acceptable to both Grapefruit and the Company.

 

On July 10, 2019, the Company effectuated a Share Exchange pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Company issued to the Stakeholders an aggregate of approximately three hundred sixty-two million, two hundred, twenty-nine thousand, one hundred and one (362,229,101) newly issued shares of Common Stock of the Company, $0.001 par value, in exchange for 100% of the shares of Grapefruit’s common stock. As a result thereof, Grapefruit became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In addition, on June 3 2019, the (“Execution Date”) George Zdasiuk submitted his resignation as a member of the Board, effective immediately, John Hollister submitted his resignation as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, and Jeffrey N. Peterson submitted his resignation as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately, and as a member of the Board, which resignation shall become effective on the 10th day following the filing of an information statement to the stockholders of the Company (the “Effective Date”). On the Execution Date, Bradley Yourist was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, President, Director and Chairman of the Board, effective immediately, and Daniel Yourist was appointed as Chief Operating Officer, Corporate Secretary and as a member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately.

 

Simultaneous with a successful closing of the Acquisition, the Company assigned all rights to its intellectual property and assets relating to its Dominion imaging technology to a private closely held Company (the “Dominion Enterprise”) owned by IGNG, current IGNG management and board members, certain other persons currently associated with the Company and Grapefruits designees in percentages to be negotiated among those persons prior to the closing of the Acquisition. It is expected that the Dominion Enterprise would thereafter continue its business plan as previously articulated in IGNG’s periodic reports to the SEC.

 

By early June 2019, the Company had shifted its focus to manufacturing cannabis distillates and edibles and distribution of such cannabis products.

 

The Company is now focused on becoming a premier manufacturer and distributor of legal cannabis products in California. We will distribute our own branded product lines as well as product produced by other manufacturers. We will also offer our expert cannabis advice to others in connection with their branding, compliance, packaging, extraction, edible manufacturing and distribution logistics efforts.

Industry Overview

 

Global consumer spending on legal cannabis in 2018 showed a growth rate of 20 percent in sales of cannabis in regulated markets. Cannabis sales are on track to increase 36 percent to $14.9 billion in 2019 and reach $40 billion by 2024 according to the “State of Legal Cannabis Markets” Report released by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics. This report points to growth in the cannabis markets while underlining the challenges that face the sector. The “Total Cannabinoid Market” (“TCM”) in the United States, which includes medical and recreational cannabis sales in regulated dispensaries, plus sales of FDA-approved pharmaceuticals and hemp-based CBD products.

 

Most notably, in 2018 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved GW Pharmaceutical’s Epidiolex and passed the 2018 Farm Bill legalizing hemp and cannabidiol oil derived from hemp as long as it contained less than 0.3% THC. According to State of Legal Cannabis Markets, 7th Edition, by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, the 2018 Farm Bill allows pharmacies, extraction labs, and general retailers to sell CBD-based products in all 50 states, which is expected to enhance the TCM. In the U.S. alone, sales of CBD products in all channels are expected to reach $20 billion by 2024.

 

In 2018 the legal cannabis industry experienced one of its slowest annual expansion rates since Colorado launched the adult-use era in 2014.

 

In California, its legal spending on cannabis fell, from $3 billion in 2017 to $2.5 billion, in the year in which it implemented an adult-use regulatory regime. A key takeaway from the California market is that highly restrictive regulations and high tax rates are hurting the legal market’s ability to compete with the illicit market. The barriers to enter into the legal cannabis market are also increasing in California because its temporary cannabis licensing scheme has ended. Currently any license applicant must now wait a protracted amount of time before the applicant receives its license and must wait a year in some cases for the application to make its way through the local and state licensing authorities.

 

According to the “State of Legal Cannabis Markets” Report, other key trends in the United States Legal Cannabis Markets include:

 

Total legal cannabis spending in regulated dispensaries in the U.S. topped $9.8 billion in 2018, and is forecast to grow to $30 billion in 2024, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 percent.
     
Investment capital raised by cannabis companies more than quadrupled to $14 billion in 2018, according to Viridian Capital Advisors.
     
Despite a 55 percent decline in 2018 in New Cannabis Ventures’ Global Cannabis Stock Index, the five largest Canadian licensed producers closed the first quarter of 2019 at a combined market capitalization of $48 billion.
     
A total of 13 state markets will have passed the $1 billion mark in total annual legal cannabis spending by the end of 2024—by the end of 2018, only three had done so (California, Colorado and Washington).

 

Grapefruit’s Competitive Advantage in the Industry

 

Grapefruit holds its State of California provisional licensing from the Bureau of Cannabis Control and the California Department of Public Health. The Company has permanent annually renewable provisional license as opposed to a temporary license. The Company expects the annual renewal to be a non-intrusive and scaled down as opposed to what the renewal process was previously. The Company is one of the earliest registered companies with the State of California to have an annually renewable license as opposed to the temporary licenses previously granted. In January 2019, the State of California revised its cannabis regulations to restrict the ability of companies to become licensed businesses.

 

41
 

 

California has three distinct regulatory agencies that govern the issuance of cultivation licenses, manufacturing licenses and distribution licenses. In order to foster the then-nascent commercial cannabis industry, the State of California initially allowed each regulatory agency to grant temporary licensing to companies with very minimal regulatory requirements and oversight. In fact, a new or then-existing cannabis company only had to show State Regulators that their local city was allowing their commercial cannabis business to operate which was an uncomplicated task. A temporary license was a conditional license that allowed a cannabis business to engage in commercial cannabis activity for a period of 120 days. The State granted operators 90-day extensions of their temporary license while final cannabis regulations were being developed and officially implemented by the State.

 

On January 1, 2019, the State of California eliminated the temporary cannabis licensing scheme. The impact of this regulatory restriction prevents all new cannabis companies from starting their operations without first applying for, and obtaining, an annual license from the appropriate regulatory agency. The same regulatory restriction prevents existing, but unregulated, cannabis companies from continuing to engage in commercial cannabis operations without shutting down while applying for, and obtaining, an annual license from the appropriate regulatory agency. The elimination of the temporary license scheme significantly thinned out the number of commercial cannabis businesses operating in the State. This was due to the regulatory requirements required to apply for an annual license which include compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, provision of a Hazardous Waste Disposal Plan and the multitude of other regulatory requirements to operate a compliant cannabis business.

 

The regulatory changes have impacted the ability of new businesses to enter the marketplace and compete with Grapefruit. However, none of Grapefruit’s commercial cannabis businesses have been impacted by the regulatory changes to the marketplace.

 

Grapefruit owns two acres of fully entitled cannabis real property located in the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park. Grapefruit understood the State’s regulatory burdens and expense for commercial cannabis businesses to successfully operate. For example, the State requires cannabis business to provide 24 hour-per-day on-site armed security for their facility. This is a shared expense of the property Coachillin property owners. In addition, Coachillin property owners pay agricultural power rates of nine (9) cents per kilowatt hour which is significantly less than what others pay for power. The location within Coachillin allows the Company to apply for and hold every cannabis license available under the California Cannabis laws.

 

Grapefruit intends on building out the real property into a distribution, manufacturing and high-tech cultivation facility to further its goal to become a seed to sale, fully vertically integrated Cannabis and CBD product Company. Grapefruit’s plans include an indoor 22,000 square foot multi-tiered canopy and adjoining tissue culture rooms. The canopy will produce thousands of pounds of the highest quality indoor cultivars of cannabis annually.

 

The Coachillin’ property owners association, which Grapefruit is a part of, will feature a unique drive through retail cannabis dispensary right off highway 10 on the way to Coachella and Palm Springs. Grapefruit will have the right to sell its cannabis products directly to the public through the drive through dispensary. Coachillin’ will also feature a cannabis hotel and music stadium and other visitor areas. By Grapefruit locating in Coachillin, the company gains instant exposure to thousands of hotel guests and other cannabis visitors that will visit the Coachillin’ cannabis friendly resort over time. Grapefruit believes that the canna-tourism industry will mature to be similar to the wine industry and can capitalize on this industry by virtue of its location within the Canna-business park.

 

Distribution

 

Grapefruit initially obtained its California wholesale recreational and medicinal cannabis distribution license on January 4, 2018. Thereafter, Grapefruit met all of its ongoing regulatory requirements and filed its application for an annual distribution license. In May 2019, Grapefruit was granted its provisional distribution license, thereby acquiring the regulatory foundation necessary to expand its distribution business. From July 2018 through the first quarter of 2019, Grapefruit used its distribution license to sell bulk cannabis flowers and trim to other distributors and to manufacturers to satisfy their own raw materials requirements. In addition, Grapefruit sold flowers, vape cartridges and concentrates to licensed retailers throughout California.

 

42
 

 

In California, cannabis cultivators and manufactures are prohibited from selling their products – e.g., flowers or edibles - directly into the marketplace. These companies are required to use a licensed distributor, such as Grapefruit. Grapefruit’s distribution license affords it a twofold strategic advantage: first, to market and sell its own cannabis product lines to retailers throughout California; and second to buy and resell bulk cannabis flower and trim as an unfettered middleman to any properly licensed customer anywhere in California that it identifies a profit opportunity.

 

Additionally, after marijuana plants are mature, they’re harvested within a certain time frame to keep the product fresh. Throughout the growth cycle and during this specific time period after the plant has been harvested, a grower will trim the plant of its leaves, focusing mostly on the remaining buds. Specifically speaking, trim is defined as the excess snipping of leaves from buds of marijuana plants. Note that leftover product can still be used to make extractions, tinctures, hash and edibles, so growers and trimmers alike can always increase sales with a larger product offering.

 

Manufacturing

 

The Company owns a fully licensed ethanol extraction facility in the City of Desert Hot Springs, CA. The Company owns and operates a Series 6 Extraction Plant which remove the essential cannabis compounds, such as THC Distillate, that we, and others use, to produce cannabis products.

 

Grapefruit’s extraction lab produces high quality distillate or “Honey Oil” from trim that Grapefruit sources utilizing its distribution license as set forth above. THC Honey Oil is a fundamental cannabis commodity which serves as the active ingredient in products from infused edibles to tinctures/creams to the cartridges used in vapes or e-cigarettes. Honey Oil sells in the wholesale marketplace at approximately $6,250 to $8,800.00 per liter. Pricing is dependent on quantity purchased as well as other market factors such as the availability and cost of the underlying trim – the raw cannabis material from which Grapefruit produces oil. Grapefruit began extraction operations in May 2019. Plans are in place to expand production through the purchase of additional extraction equipment which we expect will to allow the lab to produce two (2) to four (4) liters per day, contingent upon market conditions, of finished Honey Oil by the third quarter of 2020. Grapefruit chose to set up its extraction laboratory in the City of Desert Hot Springs because the City does not tax the manufacture of oil by Grapefruit at its Desert Hot Springs extraction facility, thereby providing Grapefruit with an additional competitive advantage.

 

THC Distillate is an all-purpose product that is used in the manufacture of everything from cannabis edibles to “e-cigarette” vape carts to tinctures, to creams and pre-rolled cannabis “joints”. We sell our distillate in California to companies that manufacturer their own product lines of edibles and/or vape cards. We also intend to use our own Distillate to produce our branded line of edibles and vape carts to allow us to control the quality of our product lines. We also manufacture marijuana cigarettes (which we market as pre-rolls) for sale into the retail marketplace. This manufacturing process is streamlined through the use of machinery and our employees who inspect each marijuana cigarette to ensure quality control. We have partnered with different manufactures in California to manufacture our line of branded products we intend to distribute and/or sell into the marketplace. We do not restrict our needs to a single manufacturer or distribution company as we maintain ongoing relationships with Tier 1 vendors across the cannabis eco-system.

 

Branding

 

We provide packaging and branding services of all cannabis products. One of the key elements to our branding strategy is performing an analysis on a product’s competitor(s) currently in the retail space and working to make our product stand out. We work on pricing strategies, boutique branding elements and other ways to differentiate when shelf space gets limited and retailers slow down on taking certain product classes.

 

Sugar Stoned

 

Grapefruit acquired the Sugar Stoned® brand in the winter of 2018 for use through the winter of 2021. We began the manufacturing process and research and development process for our products immediately, and recently began to sell and distribute Sugar Stoned branded products throughout California. Retail cannabis product consumers can purchase Sugar Stoned infused gummies that have been tested and are certified to be pesticide and heavy metal free by a third party laboratory before being released at retail. Sugar Stoned brand is now a Grapefruit portfolio brand consisting of a premium quality cannabis infused gummy line with eight different flavors: Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Grape, Peach, Pineapple, Sour Apple, Strawberry and Watermelon.

 

43
 

 

Rainbow Dreams

 

Grapefruit recently launched a new life-style brand designed specifically for the recreational cannabis marketplace called “Rainbow Dreams.” The Rainbow Dreams brand captures the “anything goes party vibe” of the 1970s by offering an array of cannabis products such as a line of vape cartridges with unique cannabis strains combined with all natural flavors for a no-burn experience compared to the traditional or earlier generation cartridges which burn at much higher temperatures and provide the user with a burning sensation when inhaling. Rainbow Dreams fills a niche in the marketplace – a top shelf quality product line that we expect to be competitively priced. We are currently developing THC and CBD infused gummies and mints which expect to incorporate into the Rainbow Dreams product line and make available for sale, depending upon market conditions, by the third quarter of 2020.

 

We are also in the process of preparing to introduce several cannabis infused offerings and a new line of THC and CBD vaporizer cartridges in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The Company expects to file trademark requests with the State of California within the next three months relating to some of the Company’s brands and products.

 

The Company currently maintains a portfolio of trade secrets relating to the formulas for its CBD gummies, vaporization cartridges and oils.

 

Tolling

 

We routinely enter into toll processing agreements in which cultivators agree to provide us with their dried biomass which we then process at our extraction facility into finished distillate. In exchange, we provide 50% of the finished product to the cultivator. The cultivator is free to use our distribution service to sell their finished product or transfer the finished product to another distributor.

 

Packaging

 

We provide packaging services to re-integrate formally unlicensed products back into the legal marketplace. The space on packaging is limited due to compliance laws. We spend a significant amount of time working out these issues in a pre-production phase. Our goal is to keep a brand’s original design work while complying with the all government regulations. We devote serious efforts to re-brand an unlicensed product to quickly and efficiently re-integrate it into the retail space.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

We have retained employees with cannabis-related experience in product manufacturing, branding, marketing and retail sales in the State of California. We strategic relationship with a full service traditional and digital marketing agency that will promote our company and products. We have a multi-pronged approach to marketing our Company and its branded product lines: (1) social media – including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter; (2) influencers who are expected to promote our branded products directly to recreational cannabis users; (3) attendance at specific industry events that are designed to promote our company to both macro and micro targeted audiences; (4) targeted radio advertising designed to reach the recreational marketplace and static marketing (e.g., well placed bill board advertising); and (5) use of our sales force for the personal touch required to obtain shelf-space in all recreational and medicinal dispensaries.

 

The Company employs inside sales persons for retail, and outside sales people for wholesale purchases. Additionally, the Company maintains an online digital platform where customers may purchase the Company’s products.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials; Principal Suppliers

 

In general, raw materials essential to our business are readily available from multiple sources. So far, we have been able to source the materials required to manufacture our THC Distillate as well as our edibles and vape cartridges. Our products use both non-cannabis and cannabis raw materials. We have the entire United States for the sourcing non-cannabis raw materials – such as terpenes and ccells. The California cannabis marketplace is diverse and we have developed the relationships with other companies to ensure the consistent availability of the raw materials.

 

Because we have no direct control over these suppliers, interruptions or delays in the products and services provided by these parties may be difficult to remedy in a timely fashion. In addition, if such suppliers are unable or unwilling to deliver the necessary products or raw materials, we may be unable to redesign or adapt our technology to work without such raw materials or products or find alternative suppliers or manufacturers. In such events, we could experience interruptions, delays, increased costs or quality control problems, or be unable to sell the applicable products, all of which could have a significant adverse impact on our revenue.

 

Competition

 

The cannabis industry is subject to significant competition and pricing pressures. We may experience significant competitive pricing pressures as well as competitive products and services providers. Several significant competitors may offer products and/or services with prices that may match or are lower than ours. We believe that the products and services we offer are generally competitive with those offered by other cannabis companies. It is possible that one or more of our competitors could develop a significant research advantage over us that allows them to provide superior products or pricing, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Continued pricing pressure or improvements in research and shifts in customer preferences away from natural supplements could adversely impact our customer base or pricing structure and have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Additionally, CBD is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis. It was discovered in 1940 and is known to exhibit neuroprotective properties in many experimental systems. However, development of CBD as a drug has been confounded by the following: 1) low potency; 2) a large number of molecular targets; 3) marginal pharmacokinetic properties; and 4) designation as a schedule 1 controlled substance. We view that companies specializing in the sale, distribution and manufacturing of CBD based products as some of our stronger competitors based on recent laws and regulatory schemes.

 

Government Approvals and Regulations

 

The formulation, manufacturing, processing, labeling, packaging, advertising and distribution of our products are subject to regulation by several federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). These activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. The FDA regulates the processing, formulation, safety, manufacture, packaging, labeling and distribution of dietary supplements (including vitamins, minerals, and herbs) and cosmetics, whereas the FTC has jurisdiction to regulate the advertising of these products.

 

The FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) regulations require dietary supplements to be prepared, packaged and held in compliance with strict rules, and require quality control provisions similar to those in the GMP regulations for drugs. The FDA could in the future choose to inspect one of our facilities for compliance with these regulations, and could cause non-compliant products made or held in the facility to be subject to FDA enforcement actions.

 

The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of the FDCA and their regulation of foods, dietary supplements and cosmetics may increase or become more restrictive in the future. Additional legislation could be passed which would impose substantial new regulatory requirements for dietary supplements, potentially raising our costs and hindering our business.

 

Our advertising is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, under the Federal Trade Commission Act. In recent years the FTC has initiated numerous investigations of dietary supplement and weight loss products and companies. Additionally, some states also permit advertising and labeling laws to be enforced by private attorney generals, who may seek relief for consumers, seek class action certifications, seek class wide damages and product recalls of products sold by us. Any of these types of adverse actions against us by governmental authorities or private litigants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

45
 

 

In addition to FDA and FTC regulations, our products may face further regulation under the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, which governs international trade and domestic control of narcotic substances including cannabis extracts. Countries may interpret and implement their treaty obligations in a way that creates a legal obstacle to our obtaining marketing approval for our products in those countries. These countries may not be willing or able to amend or otherwise modify their laws and regulations to permit our products to be marketed, or achieving such amendments to the laws and regulations may take a prolonged period of time. In the case of countries with similar obstacles, we would be unable to market our product candidates in countries in the near future or perhaps at all if the laws and regulations in those countries do not change.

 

Additionally, the Company is also subject to California law regarding dissemination of information via advertising. Mainly, these rules and regulations relate to directing advertisements to people aged 21 years and older. The type of advertising the Company expects to conduct and pursue is similar to how alcohol companies direct their advertising and marketing efforts.

 

Controlled Substance Regulation

 

The move toward ending hemp prohibition and the reemergence of a hemp economy began with the 2014 Farm Bill, which provided states with opportunities to create pilot programs for hemp research. The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (“2018 Bill”) was signed into law at the end of December 2018 and expands on the 2014 Farm Bill. The 2018 Bill removes “hemp” (defined as cannabis plants containing less than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis) from the definition of “marihuana” in the Controlled Substances Act, decriminalizes the plant and its components, and as a result, transfers oversight of the cultivation and sale of the crop from the Drug Enforcement Administration to the Department of Agriculture.

 

The Company believes that the sales of its hemp-derived products are in compliance with all applicable regulations since all of its products that contain hemp, contain less than 0.3% THC content and are sold only in states in the United States that have not prohibited the sale of hemp products.

 

At some point our products may be developed and be subject to U.S. controlled substance laws and regulations and failure to comply with these laws and regulations, or the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations, may adversely affect the results of our business operations, both during clinical development and post approval, and our financial condition.

 

Certain products we may develop could contain controlled substances as defined in the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970, or CSA. Controlled substances that are pharmaceutical products are subject to a high degree of regulation under the CSA, which establishes, among other things, certain registration, manufacturing quotas, security, recordkeeping, reporting, import, export and other requirements administered by the DEA. The DEA classifies controlled substances into five schedules: Schedule I, II, III, IV or V substances. Schedule I substances by definition have a high potential for abuse, no currently “accepted medical use” in the United States, lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and may not be prescribed, marketed or sold in the United States. Pharmaceutical products approved for use in the United States may be listed as Schedule II, III, IV or V, with Schedule II substances considered to present the highest potential for abuse or dependence and Schedule V substances the lowest relative risk of abuse among such substances. Schedule I and II drugs are subject to the strictest controls under the CSA, including manufacturing and procurement quotas, security requirements and criteria for importation. In addition, dispensing of Schedule II drugs is further restricted. For example, they may not be refilled without a new prescription. We do not intend to produce “controlled substances” at this time, due to regulatory complications.

 

Employees

 

As of January 16, 2020, we had 9 full-time employees. Grapefruit has 3 employees at its lab facilities. One of the lab employees is responsible for managing onsite operations at the Warehouse. Grapefruit has 1 inside sales and branding employee as well as 2 employees for operational support. Finally, the Company has 3 outside sales people located in Northern California. These sales people are in charge of Grapefruit’s bulk flower and trim sales. Our employees are not represented by a labor union or other collective bargaining groups at this point in time, and we consider relations with our employees to be good. We currently plan to retain and utilize the services of outside consultants for additional research, testing, regulatory, legal compliance and other services on an as needed basis.

 

Properties

 

We own approximately two acres of real property located in the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park in Desert Hot Springs, located on the extension of North Canyon Rd., approximately 10 miles north of the center of Palm Springs. We intend on building a fully integrated distribution, manufacturing and cultivation facility to become a seed to sale, fully vertically integrated Cannabis and CBD product Company.

 

46
 

 

Additionally, our cannabis and CBD extraction laboratory and distribution facility is located in the same Canna-Business Park. On September 1, 2018, the Company entered into a three-year lease for approximately 2,268 square feet which commenced on March 1, 2018. Monthly lease payments are approximately $1,134.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits, investigations and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not a party to any litigation whereby the outcome of such litigation, if determined adversely to us, would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our amended certificate of incorporation provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no director shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our bylaws provide for indemnification by us of our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

48
 

 

We intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of Imaging3, arising out of such person’s services as a director or officer of Imgagin3, any subsidiary of Imaging3 or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Board Committees

 

The Company does not currently maintain an audit committee. Previously, our board of directors appointed an audit committee. The board of directors has adopted a written charter of the audit committee. The audit committee is authorized by the board of directors to review our annual financial statements prior to publication, and to review the work of, and approve non-audit services performed by, our independent accountants. The audit committee is expected to make annual recommendations to the board for the appointment of independent public accountants for the ensuing year. The audit committee will also review the effectiveness of the financial and accounting functions and our organization, operations and management. The audit committee was formed on August 31, 2003. The audit committee held two meetings during fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Our board of directors does not have a compensation committee so all decisions with respect to management compensation are made by the whole board. Our board of directors does not have a nominating committee. Therefore, the selection of persons or election to the board of directors was neither independently made nor negotiated at arm’s length.

 

Code of Conduct

 

We have adopted a code of conduct that applies to all of its directors, officers and employees. The text of the code of conduct has been posted on our Internet website and can be viewed at www.imaging3.com. Any waiver of the provisions of the code of conduct for executive officers and directors may be made only by our audit committee or the full board of directors and, in the case of a waiver for members of the audit committee, by the board of directors.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a registrant’s officers and directors, and certain persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a registrant’s equity securities (collectively, “Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (“Section 16 Reports”) with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by the SEC to furnish the registrant with copies of all Section 16 Reports they file. For the period of time from the closing of Exchange Agreement through January 16, 2020, our Reporting Persons have not complied with their Section 16(a) filing requirements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for our executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table (“Named Executive Officers”), and executive officers that we may hire in the future. As more fully described below, our board of directors makes all decisions for the total compensation of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. We do not have a compensation committee, so all decisions with respect to management compensation are made by the whole board.

 

Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards

 

Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining, and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance in the future, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, and each executive’s total compensation package. We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and, once we grow more and increase our staff, incentive compensation. Because of our small size and staff to date, we have not yet adopted a management equity incentive plan, nor have we yet used equity incentives as part of our management compensation policy.

 

While we have not hired at the executive level significantly since inception because our business has not grown sufficiently to justify increasing staff, we expect to grow and hire in the future. Our Named Executive Officers have been with us for many years and their compensation has basically been static, based primarily on levels at which we can afford to retain them, and their responsibilities and individual contributions. To date, we have not applied a formal compensation program to determine the compensation of the Named Executives. In the future, as we and our management team expand, our board of directors expects to add independent members, form a compensation committee comprised of independent directors, adopt a management equity incentive plan and apply the compensation philosophy and policies described in this section of the Form 10-K.

 

50
 

 

The primary purpose of the compensation and benefits described below is to attract, retain and motivate highly talented individuals when we do hire, who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. Different elements are designed to engender different behaviors, and the actual incentive amounts which may be awarded to each Named Executive Officer are subject to the annual review of the board of directors. The following is a brief description of the key elements of our planned executive compensation structure.

 

Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time. Incentive compensation awards are designed to focus employees on the business objectives for a particular year. Equity incentive awards, such as stock options and non-vested stock, focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipients’ control that they believe are designed to ensure our long-term success as reflected in increases to our stock prices over a period of several years, growth in our profitability and other elements. Severance and change in control plans are designed to facilitate a company’s ability to attract and retain executives as it competes for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered.

 

The Elements of Imaging3’s Compensation Program

 

Base Salary

 

Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution. The board reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. None of our Named Executive Officers have employment agreements with us. Additional factors reviewed by the board of directors in determining appropriate base salary levels and raise’s include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance. For the year ended December 31, 2018, all executive officer base salary decisions were approved by the board of directors.

 

Incentive Compensation Awards

 

The Named Executives have not been paid bonuses and our board of directors has not yet established a formal compensation policy for the determination of bonuses. If our revenue grows and bonuses become affordable and justifiable, we expect to use the following parameters in justifying and quantifying bonuses for our Named Executive Officers and other officers of Imaging3: (1) the growth in our revenue, (2) the growth in our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted (“EBITDA”), and (3) our stock price. The board has not adopted specific performance goals and target bonus amounts for any of its fiscal years, but may do so in the future. It is anticipated that such an incentive compensation awards program may commence during the year 2019.

 

Equity Incentive Awards

 

As stated previously, in the future we plan to adopt a formal management equity incentive plan pursuant to which we plan to grant stock options and make restricted stock awards to members of management, which would not be assignable during the executive’s life, except for certain gifts to family members or trusts that benefit family members. These equity incentive awards, we believe, would motivate our employees to work to improve our business and stock price performance, thereby further linking the interests of our senior management and our stockholders. The board will consider several factors in determining whether awards are granted to an executive officer, including those previously described, as well as the executive’s position, his or her performance and responsibilities, and the amount of options or other awards, if any, currently held by the officer and their vesting schedule. Our policy will prohibit backdating options or granting them retroactively.

 

51
 

 

Benefits and Prerequisites

 

At this stage of our business we have limited benefits and no prerequisites for our employees other than health insurance and vacation benefits that are generally comparable to those offered by other small private and public companies or as may be required by applicable state employment laws. We do not have a 401(k) Plan or any other retirement plan for our Named Executive Officers. We may adopt these plans and confer other fringe benefits for our executive officers in the future if our business grows sufficiently to enable us to afford them.

 

Executive Compensation

 

The following table summarizes compensation paid or accrued by us for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for services rendered in all capacities, by our chief executive officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers who were paid total compensation of  at least $100,000 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Employment Agreements

 

We entered into an employment agreement with our former chief executive officer, John Hollister, which commenced in November 2017. Mr. Hollister’s employment agreement provides for him to be paid an initial Salary of $17,500.00 per month rising to $26,500.00 per month if he achieves certain goals, and an annual bonus of up to $200,000.00 and certain Special Bonuses at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. As of June 3, 2019, Mr. Hollister’s contract was terminated and he has received no compensation since then.

 

The Company has not yet entered into employment agreements with Mr. Bradley Yourist or Mr. Dan Yourist, but expects to do so in the future.

 

Employee Benefit Plans

 

We have not yet, but may in the future, establish a management stock option plan pursuant to which stock options may be authorized and granted to the executive officers, directors, employees and key consultants of Imaging3.

Director Compensation

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, $45,000 was accrued for services provided by our chairman Jeffrey Peterson. In addition, $20,000 was accrued for George Zdasiuk as a director.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth the names of our executive officers and directors and all persons known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of the issued and outstanding common stock of Imaging3 at January 16, 2020. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or become exercisable within 60 days of January 16, 2020 are deemed outstanding even if they have not actually been exercised. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage ownership of each beneficial owner is based on 486,320,329 outstanding shares of common stock. Except as otherwise listed below, the address of each person is c/o Imaging3, Inc., 11111 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 100, Los Angeles, CA 90025. Except as indicated, each person listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such person’s name.

Grapefruit acquired warrants to issue common stock upon exercise in its acquisition of Imaging3, Inc. on July 10, 2019. As part of the Exchange Agreement, the Company also issued 16,000,000 warrants to purchase 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share, 15,000,000 warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, 8,000,000 warrants to purchase 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

 

In addition to the Notes in connection with the SPA, IGNG issued to Auctus a warrant to purchase 16,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.125 per share, a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares at $0.15 per share and a warrant to purchase 8,000,000 shares at $0.25 per share. The warrants are “cash only” and are callable if IGNG stock trades on the OTCQB at 200% or more of a given exercise price for 5 consecutive days. 

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis was its derivative liability associated with warrants to purchase common stock and the conversion features embedded in convertible promissory notes.

 

In connection with financing transactions, the Company issued warrants to purchase common stock and convertible promissory notes. These instruments included provisions that could result in a reduced exercise price based on specified full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions. The “reset” provisions were triggered in the event the Company subsequently issued common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than contractually specified amounts. Upon triggering the “reset” provisions, the exercise / conversion price of the instrument will be reduced. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815, these instruments were not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and were not afforded equity treatment.

 

The following table summarizes activity in the Company’s derivative liability during the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018:

 

12-31-18 Balance   $ 677,990  
Creation     -  
Reclassification of equity     (869,163 )
Change in Value     15,633,479  
3-31-19 Balance   $ 15,442,307  
         
12-31-2017 Balance   $ 701,347  
Creation     -  
Reclassification to Equity     (202,996 )
Change in Value     179,639  
12-31-2018 Balance   $ 677,990  

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these derivative liabilities under level 3 of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a Black Scholes model. The Company’s stock price and estimates of volatility are the most sensitive inputs in validation of assets and liabilities at fair value. The liabilities were measured using the following assumptions:

 

Term     0.01 years -5.0 years  
Dividend Yield     0 %
Risk-free rate     2.33% - 2.49 %
Volatility     65-168 %

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2019 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Imaging3, Inc. (OTCQB: IGNG) was incorporated on October 29, 1993 as Imaging Services, Inc. in the state of California. IGNG filed a certificate of amendment of articles of incorporation to change its name to Imaging3, Inc. on August 20, 2002. From August 2002 until March 2019, IGNG was a development stage medical device company specializing in the development of a portable, proprietary, X-ray imaging technology designed to produce 3D images in real time. IGNG’s devices were designed to operate flexibly to serve varying imaging applications with less radiation exposure in a lower cost, lower weight and easily transportable format that does not require specialized power sources when compared to currently available 3D imaging devices. IGNG was unable to raise sufficient capital to commercialize its imaging technology. IGNG re-domiciled in Delaware by means of a merger of IGNG with and into the IGNG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Imaging3, Inc., a Delaware corporation in March of 2018.

 

On July 10, 2019, Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, “Grapefruit”, “GBI”, or “the Company”) and Imaging3, Inc. (“IGNG”) closed the Share Exchange after the completion of all conditions subsequent contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement among the parties thereto ( “SEA”), by which IGNG was acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the former shareholders of Grapefruit, the accounting acquirer. Under the terms of the SEA executed on May 31, 2019, IGNG became obligated to issue to Grapefruit’s existing shareholders that number of newly issued restricted IGNG common shares such that the former Grapefruit shareholders (now new IGNG shareholders) will own approximately 81% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares and the current IGNG shareholders will retain 19% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares. At the time of the execution of the SEA, IGNG had approximately 85,218,249 outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, IGNG issued to Grapefruit’s shareholders 362,979,114 IGNG common shares to Grapefruit’s current shareholder on a pro rata basis with their then-current ownership of Grapefruit of which Bradley Yourist and Daniel J. Yourist own a combined 72.26%, or approximately 259,967,136 shares. Accordingly, the financial statements are prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with GBI as the accounting acquirer and IGNG treated as the legal acquirer and accounting acquiree.

 

Grapefruit was formed as a California corporation on August 28, 2017 and began operating in September 2017.

 

Grapefruit holds its State of California provisional licensing from the Bureau of Cannabis Control and the California Department of Public Health. We own two acres of fully entitled cannabis real property located in the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park. The location within Coachillin’ allows the Company to apply for and hold every cannabis license available under the California Cannabis laws.

 

We intend on building out the real property into a distribution, manufacturing and high-tech cultivation facility to further its goal to become a seed to sale, fully vertically integrated Cannabis and CBD product Company. Grapefruit’s plans include an indoor 22,000 square foot multi-tiered canopy and adjoining tissue culture rooms.

 

We became members of the Indian Canyon and 18th Property Association on September 19, 2017 and have an ownership interest of 1.46% based upon the 77,156 gross parcel square foot of our property located in an approximately 5.3 square foot facility. Our ownership rights allow us access to various common areas that are currently being constructed as of April 30, 2019. Land improvements began in our fiscal year 2018 and were capitalized in the amounts of $88,747 as of April 30, 2018 and $390,996 as of April 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Distribution - Grapefruit initially obtained a temporary California wholesale recreational and medicinal cannabis distribution license on January 4, 2018, thereby acquiring the regulatory foundation necessary to initiate its distribution business and commence revenue generating activity. Thereafter, Grapefruit met all of its ongoing regulatory requirements and filed its application for an annual distribution license. In May 2019, Grapefruit was granted its provisional distribution license.

 

Manufacturing - The Company owns a fully licensed ethanol extraction facility in the City of Desert Hot Springs, CA. This is a Type 6 Ethanol Extraction Plant which removes the essential cannabis compounds, such as THC Distillate, that we, and others use, to produce cannabis products.

 

Our extraction facility produces high quality distillate or “Honey Oil” from trim that Grapefruit sources utilizing its distribution license as set forth above. THC Honey Oil is a fundamental cannabis commodity which serves as the active ingredient in products from infused edibles to tinctures/creams to the cartridges used in vapes or e-cigarettes. Grapefruit began extraction operations in April 2019.

 

THC Distillate is an all-purpose product that is used in the manufacture of everything from cannabis edibles to “e-cigarette” vape carts to tinctures, to creams and pre-rolled cannabis “joints”. We sell our distillate in California to companies that manufacturer their own product lines of edibles and/or vape cartridges. We also intend to use our own Distillate to produce our branded line of edibles and vape cartridges to allow us to control the quality of our product lines. We also manufacture marijuana cigarettes (which we market as pre-rolls) for sale into the retail marketplace.

 

F-6
 

 

Government Regulation - Marijuana is a Schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal laws. As of September 30, 2019, 30 states and the District of Columbia allow their citizens to use medical marijuana, and voters in the states of California, Colorado, Washington, Nevada, Oregon, Alaska, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and the District of Columbia have approved ballot measures to legalize cannabis for adult recreational use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a national level. The former Obama administration 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 and recreational marijuana under what colloquially became known as the “Cole memo”. However, on January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeffery Sessions rescinded the “Cole memo,” and issued a new memo in its place that reaffirms the Department of Justice’s stance of potentially prosecuting violators of federal marijuana laws. On April 13, 2018, President Trump pledged to support federalism-based legislation regarding marijuana and promised not to pursue federal prosecution despite the Attorney General’s actions. It appears that the current administration will not elect to vigorously enforce federal laws, but such future enforcement may cause significant financial damage to us.

 

Critical SuppliersWe have engaged in several contracts with various cannabis suppliers and lab equipment specialists and have analyzed the impact of these relationships under the accounting guidance of ASC 275 and we have concluded that these relationships do not present a risk of a near-term, severe impact because of the following; (i) we have established relationships with several cannabis farmers, producers and testing labs; (ii) we do not believe that we are dependent on one or a small group of suppliers and believe we could locate alternative suppliers, if needed; (iii) we have worked closely with our suppliers and work closely with them to help ensure the continuity of supplies and use various operational techniques to address the potential disruption of the supply chain; and (iv) we have not experienced any significant difficulty in the past in obtaining cannabis related materials or extraction lab parts necessary to meet our production needs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we did not maintain a concentration in the volume of business transacted with any particular supplier, or a concentration in the availability of sources of supply that presented a risk of a near-term severe impact.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk – At September 30, 2019, two customers comprised 89% of the Company’s sales, and one customer comprised 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.

 

We make our estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when our financial statements are prepared. We recognize changes in estimates in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available. We believe that our significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, based upon information available at the time they were made. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, making it possible that a change in these estimates could occur in the near term. The company’s most significant estimates related to useful life for depreciation, the value of long-lived assets and related impairment, and provision for income taxes of property and equipment.

 

F-7
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – We value our financial assets and liabilities using fair value measurements. Fair value is based on 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. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with observable market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

The carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying amount of our notes payable at April 30, 2019, approximates their fair values based on comparable borrowing rates available to the company. The Company evaluated the fair market value of LVCA using Level 3 inputs. From that measurement, the Company recorded an impairment of LVCA.

 

There have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 categorizations and no changes in valuation techniques for these assets or liabilities for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Inventory – Inventory is comprised of raw material, work in process and finished goods. The raw material ending balance as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $188,708 and zero, respectively. Raw materials consist of biomass of trim and flower, which is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using first-in-first out method of accounting. Work in process represented crude oil infused with high potency of THC. Work in process ending balance as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for this crude oil was $93,089 and zero, respectively. The cost of the work in process crude oil is recorded at the lower of average cost or market value based upon an average cost method. The cost of finished goods is recorded at lower of cost or market. Finished goods ending balance as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $79,800 and $0, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2018, we had not completed our manufacturing extraction lab and did not maintain any inventory balances.

 

We periodically review the value of our inventory and provide a write-down of inventory based on our assessment of the market conditions. Any write-down is charged to cost of revenues.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment, net – Our property and equipment are recorded at cost. Assets held under capital leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease or fair value. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of four to seven years, and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the applicable lease. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Land Improvements – Our land improvements are recorded at cost provided by our property association. These costs will continue to be capitalized until construction has been completed. Land improvements will not be depreciated after the construction has been completed by the property association.

 

Long-Lived Assets Impairment Assessment – Our long-lived assets are subject to an impairment test if there is an indicator of impairment. The carrying value and ultimate realization of these assets is dependent upon our estimates of future earnings and benefits that we expect to generate from their use. If our expectations of future results and cash flows are significantly diminished, other long-lived assets may be impaired and the resulting charge to operations may be material. When we determine that the carrying value of intangibles or other long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, we use the projected undiscounted cash flow method or realizable value to determine whether an impairment exists, and then measure the impairment using discounted cash flows.

 

F-8
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our products currently include high quality distillate oil, bulk whole flower, and marijuana cigarettes.

 

We recognize revenue as earned when the four revenue recognition criteria have been met, which includes:

 

i) Existence of a persuasive evidence of an arrangement;

ii) Delivery of product to a customer;

iii) Fixed or determinable sales price; and

iv) Collection is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of Goods Sold –Our cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognized and includes expenses related to the production, packaging and labeling of cannabis products; personnel-related costs, fees for third-party services, such as testing and transportation costs related to our distribution services.

 

Research and Development Expenses – Research and development (“R&D”) costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our R&D expenses include, but are not limited to, consulting service fees and materials and supplies used in the development of our proprietary products and services.

 

General and Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, fees for professional and consulting services, travel costs, rent, bad debt expense, general corporate costs, and other costs of administration such as human resources, finance and administrative roles.

 

Income Taxes – Income tax assets and liabilities are recorded using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized, or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs. To the extent that we do not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, we will provide a valuation allowance against the excess.

 

F-9
 

 

We follow the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Because of ASC 740, we make a comprehensive review of our portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by ASC 740.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in our consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

We have created our tax provision leveraging known tax court cases involving various marijuana dispensaries and other cannabis related businesses, including the section of the IRS Tax code of 280E. The U.S. Tax Code Section 280E is the federal statute that states that a business engaging in the trafficking of a Schedule I or II controlled substance, which includes cannabis and cannabis related products, are barred from taking the tax deductions or credits in their federal tax returns which are not considered as part of the business’ cost of goods sold. Given the guidance offered by the Tax code 280E we have prepared our tax provision according to this tax code.

 

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as interest expense and penalties and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted. U.S. tax reform introduced many changes, including lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate to 21 percent, changes in incentives, provisions to prevent U.S. base erosion and significant changes in the taxation of international income, including provisions which allow for the repatriation of foreign earnings without U.S. tax. The enactment of U.S. tax reform had no significant impact on our income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Commitments and Contingencies – Certain conditions may exist as of the date our financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we evaluate the perceived merits of the legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in our consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

F-10
 

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

 

Net Loss Per Share – We compute net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic net loss per share) and potentially dilutive securities that are not anti-dilutive.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investment securities with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may be invested in money market funds, certificates of deposit or other interest-bearing accounts.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of cash. We maintain our cash with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may not be insured by the FDIC.

 

Accounts Receivable and Revenue – For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, one customer represented approximately 100% of the net revenues. The accounts receivable balance was $0 as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, the FASB or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB ASCs are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840)” and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — Deferral of the Effective Date (ASU 2015-14), which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year and permits early adoption as early as the original effective date of ASU 2014-09. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. In 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance to clarify the implementation guidance (ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients). The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2015-14 will have on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.

 

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Business Combinations (Topic 805), and Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Extending the Private Company Accounting Alternatives on Goodwill and Certain Identifiable Intangible Assets to Not-for-Profit Entities. ASU 2019-06 modifies the testing goodwill for impairment annually and requires amortization of goodwill over 10 years or less, on a straight-line basis. Testing for impairment is now based upon a triggering event. ASU is effective as of the date of the pronouncement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-06 will have on its financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The ASU is designed to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions which include – the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $3,577,336, had a working capital deficit of $3,728,221 and had an accumulated deficit of $4,000,801 at September 30, 2019. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. There is no assurance that these events will be satisfactorily completed. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

Management’s plan regarding this matter is to, amongst other things, seek additional equity financing by selling our equity securities and obtaining funds through the issuance of debt. We cannot assure you that funds from these sources will be available when needed or, if available, will be on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. If we raise additional funds or settle liabilities by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. Our ability to execute our business plan and continue as a going concern may be adversely affected if we are unable to raise additional capital or operate profitably.

 

On July 10, 2019, Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. and Imaging3, Inc. (“IGNG”) closed a Share Exchange after the completion of all conditions subsequent contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement among the parties thereto (the “SEA”), by which IGNG was acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the former shareholders of Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc (“Grapefruit). Under the terms of the SEA executed on May 31, 2019 IGNG became obligated to issue to Grapefruit’s existing shareholders that number of newly issued restricted IGNG common shares such that the former Grapefruit shareholders (now new IGNG shareholders) own approximately 81% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares and the current IGNG shareholders retain approximately 19% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares.

 

In connection with and dependent upon the successful consummation of the above transaction, on May 31, 2019, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), with Auctus Fund, LLC of Boston MA (the “Investor”) pursuant to the terms of which IGNG agreed to sell $4,000,000 of Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) and issue $6,200,000 of callable warrants (“the Warrants”) to the Investor. Pursuant to the SPA, Auctus became obligated to purchase the $4,000,000 of Notes from IGNG in four tranches as follows: $600,000 at the SPA closing, which was funded on June 6, 2019; the second tranche of $1,400,000 on the day IGNG files its required registration statement on Form S-1 registering the IGNG shares underlying tranches 1 and 2 (the “Registration Statement”), which was funded on August 16, 2019; the third tranche will be funded the day the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective and the fourth tranche will be funded 90 Days after the Effective Date. As of the date of this filing, the first and second tranches of this financing have been completed and the Company has received gross proceeds of $2,000,000. The Company estimates that the Registration Statement will be declared effective during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Grapefruit acquired warrants to issue common stock upon exercise in its acquisition of Imaging3, Inc. on July 10, 2019. (See Note 15.) As part of the SEA, the Company also issued 16,000,000 warrants to purchase 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share, 15,000,000 warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, 8,000,000 warrants to purchase 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for a period of two year from the date of issuance.

The Warrants are “cash only” and are callable if IGNG stock trades on the OTCQB at 200% or more of a given exercise price for 5 consecutive days.

 

NOTE 14 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

Grapefruit acquired derivative instruments in its acquisition of Imaging3, Inc. on July 10, 2019. (See Note 15.) The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis was its derivative liability associated with related warrants to purchase common stock and the conversion features embedded in convertible promissory notes.

 

In connection with financing transactions, the Company issued warrants to purchase common stock and convertible promissory notes. These instruments included provisions that could result in a reduced exercise price based on specified full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions. The “reset” provisions were triggered in the event the Company subsequently issued common stock, stock warrants, stock options or convertible debt with a stock price, exercise price or conversion price lower than contractually specified amounts. Upon triggering the “reset” provisions, the exercise / conversion price of the instrument will be reduced. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815, these instruments were not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and were not afforded equity treatment.

 

The following table summarizes activity in the Company’s derivative liability during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019:

 

12-31-18 Balance   $ -  
Creation/acquisition     802,518  
Reclassification of equity     (1,849,819 )
Change in Value     2,030,995  
9-30-19 Balance   $ 983,694  

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these derivative liabilities under level 3 of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a Black Scholes model. The Company’s stock price and estimates of volatility are the most sensitive inputs in validation of assets and liabilities at fair value. The liabilities were measured using the following assumptions:

 

Term   0.01 years -5.0 years  
Dividend Yield     0 %
Risk-free rate     2.33% - 2.49 %
Volatility     65-168 %

NOTE 15 – ACQUISTION AND PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

 

On July 10, 2019, Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. and Imaging3, Inc. closed the Share Exchange after the completion of all conditions subsequent contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement among the parties thereto (the “SEA”), by which IGNG was acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the former shareholders of Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. Under the terms of the SEA executed on May 31, 2019 IGNG became obligated to issue to Grapefruit’s existing shareholders that number of newly issued restricted IGNG common shares such that the former Grapefruit shareholders (now new IGNG shareholders) would own approximately 81% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares and the current IGNG shareholders would retain 19% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares. At the time of the execution of the SEA, IGNG had approximately 85,218,249 outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, IGNG issued to Grapefruit’s shareholders 362,979,114 IGNG common shares to Grapefruit’s current shareholder on a pro rata basis with their current ownership of Grapefruit of which Bradley Yourist and Daniel J. Yourist own a combined 72.26% or approximately 259,967,136 shares.

 

The information included herein has been prepared based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until all pertinent information regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are fully evaluated by the Company, including but not limited to, the fair value accounting, legal and tax matters, obligations, and deferred taxes.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their preliminary acquisition-date fair values, with goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. In connection with the acquisition, we identified and valued the following identifiable intangible assets.

 

Preliminary purchase consideration allocation

 

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase consideration to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of IGNG, with the difference recorded as goodwill:

NOTE 16 – ACQUISITION OF LAKE VICTORIA MINING COMPANY

 

In December 2018, we purchased a public shell company, Lake Victoria Mining Company. (“LVCA”), for $150,000 cash and $30,300, which included a noncontrolling interest of $15,085 for a total investment amount of $195,385, through which we originally intended to effectuate becoming a public company through a reverse merger transaction. We accounted for the purchase as an asset acquisition whereby the total investment amount was recorded as an intangible asset. In early 2019 however, we determined that LVCA was not a suitable entity through which we could accomplish our objective. Accordingly, we recorded a permanent impairment charge related to the intangible asset in the amount of $195,385, leaving a net realizable value of $0 as of April 30, 2019.

 

In July 2019, we sold our investment in LVCA to an entity owned by the CEO and COO of the Company for $1,000 and the assumption of $24,553 of liabilities resulting in a net gain of $25,553.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used, and significant estimates made, by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion

 

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and cash flow deficits from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions, and management’s plans regarding these matters, are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

GRAPEFRUIT BOULEVARD INVESTMENTS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2018 AND 2019

 

NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, “Grapefruit”, “GBI”, or “the Company”) was formed as a California corporation on August 28, 2017 and began operation in September 2017.

 

Grapefruit holds its State of California provisional licensing from the Bureau of Cannabis Control and the California Department of Public Health. We own two acres of fully entitled cannabis real property located in the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park. The location within Coachillin’ allows the Company to apply for and hold every cannabis license available under the California Cannabis laws.

 

We intend on building out the real property into a distribution, manufacturing and high-tech cultivation facility to further our goal to become a seed to sale, fully vertically integrated Cannabis and CBD product Company. Grapefruit’s plans include an indoor 22,000 square foot multi-tiered canopy and adjoining tissue culture rooms.

 

We became members of the Indian Canyon and 18th Property Association on September 19, 2017 and have an ownership interest of 1.46% based upon the 77,156 gross parcel square foot of our property located in an approximately 5.3 square foot facility. Our ownership rights allow us access to various common areas that are currently being constructed as of April 30, 2019. Land improvements began in our fiscal year 2018 and were capitalized in the amounts of $88,747 as of April 30, 2018 and $390,996 as of April 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Distribution - Grapefruit initially obtained a temporary California wholesale recreational and medicinal cannabis distribution license on January 4, 2018, thereby acquiring the regulatory foundation necessary to initiate its distribution business and commence revenue generating activity. Thereafter, Grapefruit met all of its ongoing regulatory requirements and filed its application for an annual distribution license. In May 2019, Grapefruit was granted its provisional distribution license.

 

Manufacturing - The Company owns a fully licensed ethanol extraction facility in the City of Desert Hot Springs, CA. This is a Type 6 Ethanol Extraction Plant which removes the essential cannabis compounds, such as THC Distillate, that we, and others use, to produce cannabis products.

 

Our extraction facility produces high quality distillate or “Honey Oil” from trim that Grapefruit sources utilizing its distribution license as set forth above. THC Honey Oil is a fundamental cannabis commodity which serves as the active ingredient in products from infused edibles to tinctures/creams to the cartridges used in vapes or e-cigarettes. Grapefruit began extraction operations in April 2019.

 

THC Distillate is an all-purpose product that is used in the manufacture of everything from cannabis edibles to “e-cigarette” vape carts to tinctures, to creams and pre-rolled cannabis “joints”. We sell our distillate in California to companies that manufacturer their own product lines of edibles and/or vape cartridges. We also intend to use our own Distillate to produce our branded line of edibles and vape cartridges to allow us to control the quality of our product lines. We also manufacture marijuana cigarettes (which we market as pre-rolls) for sale into the retail marketplace.

 

F-22
 

 

Government Regulation - Marijuana is a Schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal laws. As of June 30, 2019, 30 states and the District of Columbia allow their citizens to use medical marijuana, and voters in the states of California, Colorado, Washington, Nevada, Oregon, Alaska, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and the District of Columbia have approved ballot measures to legalize cannabis for adult recreational use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a national level. The former Obama administration 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 and recreational marijuana under what colloquially became known as the “Cole memo”. However, on January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeffery Sessions rescinded the “Cole memo,” and issued a new memo in its place that reaffirms the Department of Justice’s stance of potentially prosecuting violators of federal marijuana laws. On April 13, 2018, President Trump pledged to support federalism-based legislation regarding marijuana and promised not to pursue federal prosecution despite the Attorney General’s actions. It appears that the current administration will not elect to vigorously enforce federal laws, but such future enforcement may cause significant financial damage to us.

 

Critical SuppliersWe have engaged in several contracts with various cannabis suppliers and lab equipment specialists and have analyzed the impact of these relationships under the accounting guidance of ASC 275 and we have concluded that these relationships do not present a risk of a near-term, severe impact because of the following; (i) we have established relationships with several cannabis farmers, producers and testing labs; (ii) we do not believe that we are dependent on one or a small group of suppliers and believe we could locate alternative suppliers, if needed; (iii) we have worked closely with our suppliers and work closely with them to help ensure the continuity of supplies and use various operational techniques to address the potential disruption of the supply chain; and (iv) we have not experienced any significant difficulty in the past in obtaining cannabis related materials or extraction lab parts necessary to meet our production needs. During the fiscal year 2019 and 2018 we did not maintain a concentration in the volume of business transacted with any particular supplier, or a concentration in the availability of sources of supply that presented a risk of a near-term severe impact.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk – For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, two customers comprised 89% of the Company’s sales. One customer comprised 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of April 30, 2019.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.

 

We make our estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when our financial statements are prepared. We recognize changes in estimates in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available. We believe that our significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, based upon information available at the time they were made. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, making it possible that a change in these estimates could occur in the near term. The company’s most significant estimates relate to useful life for depreciation, the value of long-lived assets and related impairment, and provision for income taxes.

 

F-23
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – We value our financial assets and liabilities using fair value measurements. Fair value is based on 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. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with observable market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

The carrying amount of our cash approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying amount of our notes payable at April 30, 2019, approximates their fair values based on comparable borrowing rates available to the company. The Company evaluated the fair market value of LVCA using Level 3 inputs. From that measurement, the Company recorded an impairment of LVCA.

 

There have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 categorizations and no changes in valuation techniques for these assets or liabilities for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Inventory – Inventory is comprised of raw material, work in process and finished goods. The raw material ending balance as of April 30, 2019 and 2018 was $30,313 and zero, respectively. Raw materials consist of biomass of trim and flower, which is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using first-in-first out method of accounting. Work in process represented crude oil infused with high potency of THC. Work in process ending balance as of April 30, 2019 and 2018 for this crude oil was $42,987 and zero, respectively. The cost of the work in process crude oil is recorded at the lower of average cost or market value based upon an average cost method. The cost of finished goods is recorded at lower of cost or market.

 

As of April 30, 2018, we had not completed our manufacturing extraction lab and did not maintain any inventory balances.

 

We periodically review the value of our inventory and provide a write-down of inventory based on our assessment of the market conditions. Any write-down is charged to cost of revenues.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment, net – Our property and equipment are recorded at cost. Assets held under capital leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease or fair value. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of four to seven years, and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the applicable lease. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Land Improvements – Our land improvements are recorded at cost provided by our property association. These costs will continue to be capitalized until construction has been completed. Land improvements will not be depreciated until after construction has been completed by the property association.

 

Long-Lived Assets Impairment Assessment – Our long-lived assets are subject to an impairment test if there is an indicator of impairment. The carrying value and ultimate realization of these assets is dependent upon our estimates of future earnings and benefits that we expect to generate from their use. If our expectations of future results and cash flows are significantly diminished, other long-lived assets may be impaired and the resulting charge to operations may be material. When we determine that the carrying value of intangibles or other long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, we use the projected undiscounted cash flow method or realizable value to determine whether an impairment exists, and then measure the impairment using discounted cash flows.

 

F-24
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our products currently include high quality distillate oil, bulk whole flower, and marijuana cigarettes.

 

We recognize revenue as earned when the four revenue recognition criteria have been met, which includes:

 

i) Existence of a persuasive evidence of an arrangement;

ii) Delivery of product to a customer;

iii) Fixed or determinable sales price; and

iv) Collection is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of Goods Sold –Our cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognized and includes expenses related to the production, packaging and labeling of cannabis products; personnel-related costs, fees for third-party services, such as testing and transportation costs related to our distribution services.

 

Research and Development Expenses – Research and development (“R&D”) costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our R&D expenses include, but are not limited to, consulting service fees and materials and supplies used in the development of our proprietary products and services.

 

General and Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, fees for professional and consulting services, travel costs, rent, bad debt expense, general corporate costs, and other costs of administration such as human resources, finance and administrative roles.

 

Income Taxes – Income tax assets and liabilities are recorded using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized, or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment occurs. To the extent that we do not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, we will provide a valuation allowance against the excess.

 

F-25
 

 

We follow the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Because of ASC 740, we make a comprehensive review of our portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by ASC 740.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in our consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

We have created our tax provision leveraging known tax court cases involving various marijuana dispensaries and other cannabis related businesses, including the section of the IRS Tax code of 280E. The U.S. Tax Code Section 280E is the federal statute that states that a business engaging in the trafficking of a Schedule I or II controlled substance, which includes cannabis and cannabis related products, are barred from taking the tax deductions or credits in their federal tax returns which are not considered as part of the business’ cost of goods sold. Given the guidance offered by the Tax code 280E we have prepared our tax provision according to this tax code.

 

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as interest expense and penalties and are included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted. U.S. tax reform introduced many changes, including lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate to 21 percent, changes in incentives, provisions to prevent U.S. base erosion and significant changes in the taxation of international income, including provisions which allow for the repatriation of foreign earnings without U.S. tax. The enactment of U.S. tax reform had no significant impact on our income taxes for the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Commitments and Contingencies – Certain conditions may exist as of the date our financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we evaluate the perceived merits of the legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. From August 28, 2017 (inception) to November 29, 2019, there have been no such proceedings.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in our consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

F-26
 

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

 

Net Loss Per Share – We compute net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic net loss per share) and potentially dilutive securities that are not anti-dilutive.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of cash. We maintain our cash with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may not be insured by the FDIC.

 

Accounts Receivable and Revenue – For the year ended April 30, 2019, two customers represented approximately 63% and 27% of the net revenues. As of April 30, 2019, one customer represented approximately 100% of accounts receivables. The accounts receivable balance was $3,345 as of April 30, 2019 and for the period, August 28, 2017 (inception) to April 30, 2018 there were no such concentrations.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, the FASB or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB ASCs are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840)” and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — Deferral of the Effective Date (ASU 2015-14), which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year and permits early adoption as early as the original effective date of ASU 2014-09. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. In 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance to clarify the implementation guidance (ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients). The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2015-14 will have on its financial statements.

 

F-27
 

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.

 

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Business Combinations (Topic 805), and Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Extending the Private Company Accounting Alternatives on Goodwill and Certain Identifiable Intangible Assets to Not-for-Profit Entities. ASU 2019-06 modifies the testing goodwill for impairment annually and requires amortization of goodwill over 10 years or less, on a straight-line basis. Testing for impairment is now based upon a triggering event. ASU is effective as of the date of the pronouncement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-06 will have on its financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The ASU is designed to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions which include – the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. ASU 2016-09 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. During the year ended April 30, 2019, we incurred a net loss of approximately $524,000, had a working capital deficit of approximately $841,000 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3,018,000 at April 30, 2019. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. There is no assurance that these events will be satisfactorily completed. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the financials related to the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Management’s plan regarding this matter is to, amongst other things, seek additional equity financing by selling our equity securities and obtaining funds through the issuance of debt. We cannot assure you that funds from these sources will be available when needed or, if available, will be on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. If we raise additional funds or settle liabilities by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. Our ability to execute our business plan and continue as a going concern may be adversely affected if we are unable to raise additional capital or operate profitably.

 

On July 10, 2019, Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. and Imaging3, Inc. (“IGNG”) closed a Share Exchange after the completion of all conditions subsequently contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement among the parties thereto (the “SEA”), by which IGNG was acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the former shareholders of Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. (“Grapefruit). Under the terms of the SEA executed on May 31, 2019 IGNG became obligated to issue to Grapefruit’s existing shareholders that number of newly issued restricted IGNG common shares such that the former Grapefruit shareholders (now new IGNG shareholders) own approximately 81% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares and the current IGNG shareholders retain approximately 19% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares.

 

In connection with and dependent upon the successful consummation of the above transaction, on May 31, 2019, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), with Auctus Fund, LLC of Boston MA (the “Investor”) pursuant to the terms of which IGNG agreed to sell $4,000,000 of Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) and issue $6,200,000 of callable warrants (“the Warrants”) to the Investor. Pursuant to the SPA, Auctus became obligated to purchase the $4,000,000 of Notes from IGNG in four tranches as follows: $600,000 at the SPA closing, which was funded on June 6, 2019; the second tranche of $1,400,000 on the day IGNG files its required registration statement on Form S-1 registering the IGNG shares underlying tranches 1 and 2 (the “Registration Statement”), which was funded on August 16, 2019; the third tranche will be funded the day the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective and the fourth tranche will be funded 90 Days after the Effective Date. As of the date of this filing, the first and second tranches of this financing have been completed and the Company has received gross proceeds of $2,000,000.

NOTE 4 – OPERATING LEASES

 

During the fiscal year of 2018 we reviewed various facilities and identified a suitable, compliant cannabis facility located in the city of Dessert Hot Springs, to build our manufacturing and distribution facility. This commercial park is owned and operated by Coachillin’ Holding LLC and we purchased land rights from Coachillin’ Holding LLC on December 21, 2017 to secure our specific location within their commercial park.

NOTE 8 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

In October 2017, in connection with our purchase of two acres of fully entitled cannabis real property located in the Coachillin’ Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park, the Company issued a first and second trust deed note in the amounts of $700,000 and $200,000, respectively. The first and second trust deed notes are interest only notes and bear interest at 13.0% and mature in August 2022, with the principal payment due at maturity. For the $700,000 loan, the monthly payment is approximately $7,500. For the $200,000 loan, the monthly payment is approximately $2,200. The Company prepaid four months interest to the lender totaling $38,970, which as of April 30, 2018 was fully expensed. The 1st and 2nd trust deeds are secured by the land as well as property owned by two officers of the company and three other related parties. Also, each party has personally guaranteed or pledged additional collateral.

 

In April 2018, the Company issued a note due 60 days after funding with a principal amount of $250,000 and interest totaling $125,000. As of April 30, 2019, the note has not been repaid and was amended to add an additional interest charge of $37,500 or 10% of the total balance due, which is included in our current liabilities.

NOTE 9 – EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

The Company entered into an employment contact on November 19, 2018 with a key employee who has developed a cannabis brand and customer following. Under the employment contract, the Company will employ this key employee from November 19, 2018 to November 19, 2021. The Company and employee may renew this agreement by mutual written agreement. This employee will serve in the capacity of assisting the Company in developing sales for a cannabis brand owned and managed by this employee. In addition, this employee may serve in the capacity of developing new cannabis product lines and sales. The employee will receive a commission structure related to their performance measurements and has assigned to the Company all rights, titles and interests related to a cannabis brand previously owned and managed by this employee and deemed to have no value. If the employee is terminated, rights to the brand and other intellectual property revert back to the employee. The Company did not record any contingent liabilities related to this commission because the performance measurements have not been met as of April 30, 2019.

 

NOTE 10 – PAYABLES AND OPERATING LEASE – RELATED PARTY

 

Accrued payable to officers and directors are due on demand and consisted of the following at April 30, 2019 and 2018:

A related party leased two eco-pods in April 2019 and May 2019, which are refurbished shipping containers, located on this specific parcel within Coachillin’. The lease is treated as an operating lease and payment responsibility is ultimately the responsibility of the related party. The Company has assumed these lease payment obligations in May 2019. The monthly payments are $1,055 and $880, for the duration of the lease terms of four and five years, respectively. We paid administrative fees of $600 associated with these two leases during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019.

F-30
 

 

Equity offerings

 

During period ended April 30, 2018, we issued 8,000,000 shares of common stock to founders at $0.25 per share. The $2,000,000 was recorded as officer’s compensation. In addition, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to outside investors at $0.25 per share, for cash of $250,000. 1,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to a related party at $0.25 per share and recorded as stock-based compensation of $250,000.

 

During fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, we issued 970,000 shares of common stock to outside investors for cash of $485,000, at $0.50 per share. In addition, we signed an agreement with an outside investor to issue 100,000 shares of common stock for $50,000 cash, at $0.50, resulting in a stock subscription receivable. Cash for this receivable was received on May 5, 2019.

 

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has generated losses before income tax of approximately $524,000 and $2,494,000 as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The company recognized a deferred tax asset of approximately $95,600 and $0 for the related NOL carryforward as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company operates in the cannabis industry, which incurs regulatory taxes in addition to comparable taxes of other industries.

 

On December 22, 2017, the legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted, which contains significant changes to U.S. tax law and was leveraged in our tax provision process.

 

The Company has open tax years of 2018 and 2019. These open years contain certain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations, as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenue and expense.

 

The Company’s effective income tax differs from the statutory federal income tax as follows:

 

    2019     2018  
Net loss   $ 524,000     $ 2,494,000  
                 
Expected federal tax expense     (110,000 )     (523,700 )
Increase (decrease) in income tax resulting from:                
Permanent differences     51,000       523,700  
State and local income taxes, net of Federal benefit     (36,600 )     -  
Change in valuation allowance     95,600       -  
Current year tax provision   $ -     $ -  

 

In 2019, the net operating loss led to a deferred tax asset of approximately $94,600 and includes a deferred tax asset of $58,000 related to the impairment loss of LVCA and a deferred tax liability of $57,000 related to property and equipment. There are no deferred tax assets or liabilities for 2018. On April 30, 2019 and 2018, based on the guidance in ASC 740-10-45-10A, we provided an allowance of $95,600 and $0, respectively, related to these tax benefits given the uncertainty of utilizing the asset.

 

NOTE 13 – ACQUISITION OF LAKE VICTORIA MINING COMPANY

 

In December 2018, we purchased control of a public shell company, Lake Victoria Mining Company. (“LVCA”), for $150,000 cash, incurred $30,300 of acquisition costs, and which included a noncontrolling interest of $15,085 for a total investment amount of $195,385, through which we intended to effectuate becoming a public company through a reverse merger transaction. The transaction was recorded as an asset acquisition (as we purchased 2,000 authorized unregistered shares of Series L preferred stock, the “Control Shares”) and substantially all of the purchase consideration was allocated to an intangible asset. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, we determined that LVCA was not a suitable entity through which we could accomplish our objective. In addition, we evaluated the impairment indicators including, but not limited to:

 

  a. An investor would not finance the LVCA transaction due to the fact that it would not be able to take advantage of the SEC Rule 144 exemption as LVCA was not a ‘reporting company

 

F-31
 

 

  b. The Control Shares cannot be converted into shares of LVCA’s common stock and do not trade on any exchange or marketplace
  c. There is no liquid market for a voting control block of an OTC pink traded entity with no assets.
  d. When we tried to sell the Control Shares in early May 2019, no buyers emerged, and
  e. A well known broker of public shell companies informed the Company that LVCA was not marketable.

 

Based on these indicators, we determined that the asset was permanently impaired, and we recorded an impairment charge related to the investment in LVCA of $195,385, leaving a net realizable value of $0 as of April 30, 2019

 

In July 2019, we sold our investment in LVCA to an entity owned by the CEO and COO of the Company for $1,000 and the assumption of $23,822 of liabilities resulting in an increase in additional paid in capital of $24,822.

 

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Related Party Notes

 

During the fiscal year 2019 and 2018, officers and directors of the Company, paid certain obligations and expenses on behalf of the Company. On April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, the amounts due were $281,626 and $183,406.

 

On May 1, 2019, Related party payables totaling $241,629 of principal and $10,681 of accrued interest were converted to notes bearing a 10% annual interest rate due between the dates of July 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019. The notes are currently in default.

 

Fixed Asset Deposit

 

In February 2018 we entered into an operating lease agreement with a vendor who could provide the Company customized eco-pods which were utilized for our various operations of distribution, extraction and testing activities. These eco-pods allowed the Company to obtain its necessary cannabis licensing until its permanent facility at the Coachillin’ Holdings LLC commercial park is completed. As of April 30, 2019, the Company provided this vendor a security deposit of approximately $97,000 for the purpose of providing additional eco-pods and services. The eco-pod vendor failed to provide the Company the additional eco-pods and other related services according to the terms of the agreement. The Company determined the likelihood of recouping its fixed asset deposit was not cost effective and considered the deposit a loss which was expensed on April 30, 2019. A mutual release agreement was approved by both parties in August 2019, which released the Company from any future financial obligations.

 

Employment Contracts

 

The Company entered into an employment contact on May 1, 2019 with a key employee who has developed a cannabis brand and customer following. Under the employment contract, the Company will employ this key employee from May 1, 2019 to May 1, 2024. The Company and employee may renew this agreement by mutual written agreement. This employee will serve in the capacity of assisting the Company in developing existing and new cannabis product lines and sales. The employee will receive a commission structure related to their performance measurements.

 

Final Closing on Grapefruit Reverse Acquisition

 

On July 10, 2019, Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. and Imaging3, Inc. (“IGNG”) closed the Share Exchange after the completion of all conditions subsequently contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement among the parties thereto (the “SEA”), by which IGNG was acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the former shareholders of Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. (“Grapefruit). Under the terms of the SEA executed on May 31, 2019 IGNG became obligated to issue to Grapefruit’s existing shareholders that number of newly issued restricted IGNG common shares such that the former Grapefruit shareholders (now new IGNG shareholders) will own approximately 81% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares and the current IGNG shareholders will retain 19% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares. At the time of the execution of the SEA, IGNG had approximately 85,218,249 outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, IGNG issued to Grapefruit’s shareholders 362,979,114 IGNG common shares to Grapefruit’s current shareholder on a pro rata basis with their current ownership of Grapefruit of which Bradley Yourist and Daniel J. Yourist own a combined 72.26% or approximately 259,967,136 shares.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statements of operations are presented to give effect to the acquisition of Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. (“Grapefruit”) by Imaging3, Inc. (“IGNG”). The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (with IGNG being the legal acquirer and Grapefruit being the accounting acquirer) and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and was based on the historical financial statements of Grapefruit and IGNG.

 

Under ASC Topic 805, all the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their assumed acquisition-date fair value, while acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

 

The pro forma information was prepared based on the historical financial statements and related notes of Grapefruit and IGNG, as adjusted for the pro forma impact of applying the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that IGNG believes are reasonable. The allocation of the purchase price of the Grapefruit acquisition reflected in these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements has been based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The pro forma adjustments are therefore preliminary and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the acquisition.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been prepared to reflect the transaction as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations combine the results of operations of Grapefruit and IGNG for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2018.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with IGNG treated as the legal acquiring entity and GBI as the accounting acquiring entity. Accordingly, the aggregate value of the consideration paid by GBI to complete the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from IGNG based upon their estimated fair values on the closing date of the acquisition. GBI has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from IGNG and the related allocations of purchase price, nor has GBI identified all adjustments necessary to conform IGNG’s accounting policies to Grapefruit’s accounting policies. Additionally, a final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from IGNG will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of IGNG that existed as of the closing date. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments presented herein are preliminary, and may not reflect any final purchase price adjustments made. GBI estimated the fair value of IGNG’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with IGNG’s management and its own due diligence. As the final valuations are being performed, increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts will result in adjustments, which may result in material differences from the information presented herein.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to indicate the financial condition or results of operations of future periods or the financial condition or results of operations that actually would have been realized had the transactions been consummated on the dates or for the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 2018 financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2019, the unaudited June 30, 2019 financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 16, 2019, and the audited financial statements of Grapefruit for the year ended April 30, 2019 filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. The activity of the two additional months of May and June 2019 needed to complete the balance sheet and statement of operations for GBI were internally generated.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 was prepared utilizing the IGNG historical balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 was prepared utilizing the IGNG historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been achieved had Grapefruit and IGNG been a combined company during the respective periods presented. These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with IGNG’s historical financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 16, 2019, IGNG’s historical financial statements and related notes included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2019 filed with the SEC on August 14, 2019 as well as Grapefruit’s historical financial statements and related notes filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Description of transaction

 

On July 10, 2019, Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. and Imaging3, Inc. (“IGNG”) closed the Share Exchange after the completion of all conditions subsequently contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement among the parties thereto (the “SEA”), by which IGNG was acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the former shareholders of Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. (“Grapefruit). Under the terms of the SEA executed on May 31, 2019 IGNG was obligated to issue to Grapefruit’s existing shareholders that number of newly issued restricted IGNG common shares such that the former Grapefruit shareholders (now new IGNG shareholders) own approximately 81% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares and the current IGNG shareholders retain 19% of the post-Acquisition IGNG common shares. At the time of the execution of the SEA, IGNG had eighty-five million two hundred eighteen thousand two hundred forty-nine (85,218,249) outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, IGNG issued to Grapefruit’s shareholders three hundred sixty-two million nine hundred seventy-nine thousand one hundred fourteen (362,979,114) IGNG common shares to Grapefruit’s current shareholders on a pro rata basis with their current ownership of Grapefruit of which Bradley Yourist and Daniel J. Yourist own a combined 72.26% or two hundred fifty nine million nine hundred sixty seven thousand one hundred thirty six (259,967,136) shares.

 

In connection with and dependent upon the successful consummation of the above transaction, on May 31, 2019, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), with Auctus Fund, LLC of Boston MA (the “Investor”) pursuant to the terms of which IGNG will sell $4,000,000 of Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) and issue $6,200,000 of callable warrants (“the Warrants”) to the Investor. Pursuant to the SPA, Auctus will purchase the $4,000,000 of Notes from IGNG in four tranches as follows: $600,000 at the SPA closing, which was funded on June 6, 2019; the second tranche of $1,400,000 on the day IGNG files its required registration statement on Form S-1 registering the IGNG shares underlying tranches 1 and 2 (the “Registration Statement”), which was funded on August 16, 2019; the third tranche will be funded the day the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective and the fourth tranche will be funded 90 Days after the Effective Date. The Notes have a two-year term and will bear interest at 10%. The notes are redeemable at any time between the date of issuance and maturity at 150% of face value. The Notes will be convertible into shares of IGNG common stock at 95% of the mathematical average of the five lowest trading prices for IGNG common stock on the OTCQB for the period from the Closing to the maturity date of the Note being converted less $0.01 for conversions at less than $0.15 and less $0.02 for conversions at more than $0.15.

 

As a condition of closing the transaction, IGNG was required to settle outstanding debt to certain parties of $1,399,635 and an administrative claim payable of $1,113,708. The debt was retired in May 2019 for $200,000 cash and 7,705,698 shares of common stock valued at $0.17 per share. The administrative claim payable was settled in July 2019 for $204,000 to be paid in three installments and 7,628,567 shares of common stock valued at $0.089 per share.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our amended certificate of incorporation provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no director shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our bylaws provide for indemnification by us of our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
     
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

  (2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     
  (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

  II-6  

 

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
     
    The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
     
  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
     
  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
     
  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  (6) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
     
  (7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
     
  (8) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
     
  (2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and this offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
