NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016
NOTE 1 BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Background and Current Operations
United Cannabis Corporation ("we", "our", "us", "UCANN", or the Company) a Colorado corporation, was originally formed as a California corporation under the name MySkin, Inc. on November 15, 2007. MySkin was engaged in the business of providing management services to a medical spa in Los Angeles, California which provided various advanced skin care services until March 31, 2014, when this business was sold to the prior President of the Company.
In early 2014 we decided to exit the medical spa management business and change our focus to providing products, services and intellectual property to the cannabis industry.
On March 26, 2014, we entered into a License Agreement with Earnest Blackmon, Tony Verzura and Chad Ruby pursuant to which Messrs. Blackmon, Verzura and Ruby licensed certain intellectual property to us in exchange for a total of 38,690,000 shares of our common stock.
In connection with this transaction:
|
|
·
|
Messrs. Blackmon, Verzura and Ruby licensed to us all of their knowledge and know-how relating to the design and buildout of cultivation facilities, growing/cultivation systems, seed-to-sale protocols and procedures, products, a genetic catalogue including over 150 different strains, an advanced (non-psychoactive) cannabinoid therapy program called "A.C.T. Now", security, regulatory compliance, and other methods and processes which relate to the cannabis industry.
|
|
|
·
|
The territory for this license is the entire world and the license runs in perpetuity. There are no royalty payments under the License Agreement.
|
|
|
·
|
Messrs. Blackmon, Verzura and Ruby were appointed to our board of directors effective April 7, 2014.
|
|
|
·
|
Mr. Blackmon was elected as our President, Mr. Ruby was elected as Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Verzura was elected as Vice President.
|
|
|
·
|
A total of 41,690,000 previously outstanding shares of common stock were cancelled resulting in a total of 43,620,000 shares of common stock outstanding on March 26, 2014.
|
UCANN was formed as a Colorado corporation on March 25, 2014, and on May 2, 2014, MySkin, Inc. merged into UCANN, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MySkin, Inc., for the purpose of changing domicile from California to Colorado and changing the corporation's name to United Cannabis Corporation.
On March 31, 2014, we sold all right, title and interest in the tangible and intangible assets, trademarks, customer lists, intellectual property and rights, which we owned and were related to our advanced skin care business since we entered into a new business and no longer had any use for these assets. The assets were sold to MySkin Services, Inc. (MTA), a business partly owned by Marichelle Stoppenhagen, our former officer and director, in exchange for the $15,000 payable which we owed to Ms. Stoppenhagen and/or MTA. In addition, MTA assumed all costs associated with these assets starting on March 31, 2014.
On July 14, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Prana Therapeutics, Inc. (Prana) in a one-for-one exchange of 5,730,000 shares of common stock of the Company for 5,730,000 of common stock of Prana. The purchase price had a fair market value of $5,070,500, based upon the closing price of $0.85 per share on the OTC QB exchange on July 14, 2017, including the cost to purchase 400,000 shares of Prana common stock for $200,000. Prana is a polymolecular botanical drug development company focused on developing targeted therapeutics for prevention of the negative side effects of chemotherapy, management of rheumatoid arthritis and treatment of brain cancer. Management elected to purchase Prana, because of the successful indication of the effectiveness of their Epidiferphane chemical formulation in the treatment of (i) the negative side effects of chemotherapy, (ii) inflammation and pain associated with arthritis and back-centric pain, (iii) sleep disorder, and (iv) the potential shrinkage of brain tumors.
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.

UNITED CANNABIS CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016
As of September 30, 2017, 28 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 and the District of Columbia 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 has effectively stated that it is 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. However, there is no guarantee that the current administration will not change its stated policy regarding the low-priority enforcement of federal laws, or that any future administration would not change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws vigorously. Any such change in the federal governments enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
We prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries UCANN California Corporation, UC Colorado Corporation and UC Oregon Corporation, the ninety-five percent (95%) owned subsidiary Prana Therapeutics, Inc. (Prana), and the fifty percent (50%) owned subsidiary Cannabinoid Research & Development Company Limited (CRD). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). At March 31, 2017, we concluded that we had established a variable interest entity relationship with CRD, because we are the primary beneficiary, in accordance with GAAP. As a result, we elected to consolidate the assets and liabilities of CRD in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017. Prana was purchased on July 14, 2017, and their assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017, and their results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements for the period of June 30, 2017, which is the nearest quarter end to the purchase date, through September 30, 2017.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.
We make our estimates of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. We recognize changes in estimates in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimates, which are 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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, non-marketable equity securities, accounts payable, notes payable and other current assets and liabilities. 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.
6
UNITED CANNABIS CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016
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, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. Investments in non-marketable equity securities are carried at cost less other-than-temporary impairments. The carrying amount of our notes payable and convertible debt at September 30, 2017, approximates their fair values based on our incremental borrowing rates. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Because of current banking regulations, marijuana centric entities are not afforded normal banking privileges, and thus, we have not been able to consistently have access to the federal banking system. Thus, at the beginning of 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with our Chief Executive Officer to hold cash funds in his personal bank account, on an as-needed basis, in trust for the Company. Under the terms of our trust agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, he agreed to hold our cash in his personal bank account, and to make payments of our funds only for our business purposes, and to allow daily access to the bank account for ongoing oversight of his fiduciary responsibility to the Company. Additionally, the trust agreement requires that the Chief Executive Officer make copies available to our accounting staff of all transactions applicable to our operations, on a weekly, or as requested basis. There is cash deposits in the personal bank accounts of the Chief Executive Officer held in trust for us in the amount of $4,158 at September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016.
Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable consists primarily of trade accounts arising in the normal course of business. No interest is charged on past due accounts. Accounts for which no payments have been received after 30 days are considered delinquent and customary collection efforts are initiated. Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less a reserve made for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. We determine our allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering the customers financial condition and credit history, and current economic conditions. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.0 and $4,340 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses are primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the contract or service period.
Property and Equipment
Our property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to five years. Assets acquired under capital leases are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. 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.
Patents
Our patent was granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on August 15, 2017. The patent covers the extraction of pharmaceutically active components from cannabis plant materials, for incorporation into medicines. The cost of the patents is being amortized over a 15 year period.
Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets, consisting of trademarks, design marks and provisional patent applications are recorded at cost, and once approved, will be amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 10 to 15 years. We test for impairment of our intangible assets on an annual basis.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016
Long-Lived Assets Impairment Assessment
In accordance with the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 350, we regularly review the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest 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, intangible assets and 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 to determine whether an impairment exists, and then measure the impairment using discounted cash flows.
Equity Method Investments
Our investments in entities representing ownership of at least 20% but not more than 50%, where we exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and are included in our financial statements as a component of the consolidated financials. All intercompany accounts are eliminated upon consolidation, and we recognize the minority interests share in the income and losses of the less than 100% percent owned subsidiary in the period incurred.
Goodwill
Our goodwill, which consists of our interest in a ninety-five percent owned subsidiary, Prana Therapeutics, Inc. (Prana) and a fifty percent owned subsidiary, Cannabinoid Research & Development Company Limited (CRD), is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually, or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash
fl
ows and operating plans. We believe such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. Our total goodwill of $4,912,201 consists of $4,805,328 for Prana and $106,873 for CRD at September 30, 2017.
Purchase Price Allocation
The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC Subtopic 805-10,
Business Combinations
, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Subtopic 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
. The price for the purchase of Prana Therapeutics, Inc., was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their fair values as of the acquisition date, July 14, 2017. The allocation of the purchase price of $5,070,500 was based upon a valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill in the amount of $4,733,410, and is generally driven by our expectations of our ability to commercialize the several drugs invented by Prana.
Deferred Revenue
We defer revenue for which product or service has not yet been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and our customer jointly determine that the product or service has been delivered or no refund will be required.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605,
Revenue Recognition
, which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on our management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the collectability of those amounts.
Revenue for services with a payment in the form of stock, warrants or other financial assets is recognized when the services are performed. The value of revenue paid with warrants is measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Revenue from product sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped, title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue Recognition Affiliate
We have licensed our
Prana
products to Advesa, Inc. (Advesa), which is 100% owned by one of our major shareholders. Advesa has an exclusive right for five (5) consecutive one (1) year periods to sell our Prana products in certain cities in the state of California. In consideration for the exclusive license granted to Advesa under the agreement, Advesa is obligated to pay us a royalty on all
Prana
products sold by Advesa equal to the sale price of the
Prana
products, minus the cost of goods sold (computed without regard to depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items or allocation of overhead, general and administrative expenses or similar items) (the
Prana
Royalty). In addition, Advesa pays us a management fee of five percent (5%) of all Advesa gross revenue minus the
Prana
Royalty. We recognize revenue on all
Prana
sales consistent with the criteria described above for all sales in accordance with ASC 605,
Revenue Recognition.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016
Cost of Revenues
Our policy is to recognize cost of revenues in the same manner as, and in conjunction with, revenue recognition. Our cost of revenues includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognized and includes expenses related to the production, packaging and labeling of our Prana medicinals products and personnel-related costs, fees for third-party services, travel and other consulting costs related to our advisory services.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our R&D costs 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, rent, corporate costs, fees for professional and consulting services, advertising costs, and other costs of administration such as marketing, human resources, finance and administrative roles.
Stock-Based Compensation
We periodically issue shares of our common stock to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for fees and services. We account for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505,
Equity
, whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
We account for stock option grants issued and vesting to employees based on ASC 718,
Compensation Stock Compensation
, whereas the award is measured at its fair value at the date of grant and is amortized ratably over the vesting period. Accounting for stock-based compensation to employees requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of all stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, which is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee option exercise behaviors, risk free interest rates and expected dividends. We also estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from our estimates.
Income Taxes
Income taxes 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. 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.
We follow the provisions of ASC 740,
Income Taxes
. As a result of ASC 740, we make a comprehensive review of our portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by ASC 740. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, we recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders deficit.
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.
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.

Commitments and Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date our condensed consolidated 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 therein.
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, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our condensed 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.
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.
Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
We report as other comprehensive income (loss) those revenues, gains and losses not included in the determination of net income. During the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we did not have any gains and losses resulting from activities or transactions that resulted in comprehensive income or loss.
Segment Reporting
We operate as one segment.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of cash. Because of our perceived association with the marijuana industry, we are not always able to maintain our cash with high credit quality financial institutions; and at times, cash is held by our employees, under the terms of trust agreements, and, as a result, these balances are not insured by the FDIC.
The following tables show significant concentrations in our revenues and accounts receivable for the periods indicated:

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.
In May 2014 the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which implements a five-step process of how an entity should recognize revenue in order to depict the transfer of promised 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. This guidance will be effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2018, and early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing reporting.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on leases which requires entities to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases, including operating leases, with terms of more than 12 months. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative information. The new guidance will be effective for us at the beginning of fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN
Our condensed 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, 2017, we incurred losses of $3,729,687 and used cash of $1,037,264 in our operating activities. At September 30, 2017, we had a working capital deficit of $145,886 and an accumulated deficit of $12,849,876. We have an equity line of credit funding agreement for providing equity capital for up to $10,000,000 of funding through the purchase of shares of our common stock. During the term of the agreement, the Company may deliver a put notice to the financier, which will specify the number of shares which we will sell to the financier. As of September 30, 2017, we have received $1,380,204, under the terms of the equity line of credit agreement. However, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and, or, to able to draw funds from our equity line of credit agreement. There is no assurance that these events will be satisfactorily completed.
NOTE 4 RECEIVABLE FROM AND EQUIPMENT NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
On April 20, 2015, we advanced Cannabinoid Research & Development, Limited (CRD) $5,000 and included this amount in due from related parties. At March 31, 2017, we concluded that we had established a variable interest entity relationship with CRD, because we are the primary beneficiary, in accordance with GAAP. As a result, we elected to consolidate the assets and liabilities of CRD in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017. Thus, at September 30, 2017, the $5,000 advance to CRD is eliminated upon the consolidation of the assets and liabilities of CRD for financial statement reporting purposes.
In the normal course of business, we make non-interest bearing advances to Advesa, Inc. (Advesa), which is 100% owned by one of our officers and directors. Such advances are used by Advesa to purchase equipment and to cover the cost of their operations.

We purchased certain laboratory equipment from Advesa at an amount equal to their cost of the equipment, and subsequently leased the laboratory equipment back to Advesa for a 36 month period. The equipment note is payable over 36 months at an interest rate of $7.5%. The equipment note was paid in full on August 1, 2017.
NOTE 5 PURCHASE OF PRANA THERAPUETICS, INC.
On June 8, 2017, we entered into an agreement to purchase 400,000 shares of Prana Therapeutics, Inc. (Prana), in a private offering of their common shares, for a total consideration of $200,000 (Subscription Agreement). In accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement, we paid Prana $50,000, upon execution of the Subscription Agreement, and committed to remit $50,000 to Prana on September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Subsequently, on July 14, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Prana in a one-for-one exchange of 5,730,000 shares of our common stock for 5,730,000 shares of common stock of Prana. The purchase price had a fair market value of $5,070,500, based upon the closing price of $0.85 per share of our common stock on the OTC QB exchange on July 14, 2017, including the cost to purchase 400,000 shares of Prana for $200,000.
The purchase price for Prana was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill and is generally driven by managements expectations and ability to realize synergies and achieve strategic growth.
As of July 14, 2017, the allocation of the purchase price for the 95% fair value of Prana was comprised of:

NOTE 7 INTANGIBLES
Our intangible assets are comprised of the costs incurred in pursuing provisional patent applications and applications for design mark and trademarks, which have presently not been approved or issued. The costs associated with our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 15 years for patents and 10 years for design marks and trademarks, once the applications are approved.

NOTE 8 EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS
On August 15, 2014, we acquired a 50% interest in Cannabinoid Research & Development Company Limited (CRD), a Jamaican company, in exchange 40,000 shares of our common stock valued at $88,000 based on the previous days closing price of our stock. We also committed to provide expertise on design-build, genetics, cultivation, production, processing, productizing, labeling, packaging, marketing, branding and distribution of products, as well as use of our intellectual property in the operations of CRD. We accounted for this $88,000 as an equity method investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016.
At March 31, 2017, it was concluded that we had established a variable interest entity relationship with CRD, because we are the primary beneficiary, in accordance with GAAP. As a result, we elected to consolidate the assets and liabilities of CRD in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017.

On May 6, 2014, we entered into a consultancy agreement with two third party consultants that had a nine month term, which could be renewed and/or extended by mutual agreement. The agreement provided for a $50,000 payment at signing, which has been paid, and for three more $50,000 payments (a total of $200,000) and the issuance of 100,000 shares of our common stock upon the achievement of certain goals, as set forth in appendix II of the agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2014 we recognized $160,000 of expense applicable to this agreement. At December 31, 2015, the project was approximately 80% complete and $110,000 was included in accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheet at that date. On December 7, 2016, upon mutual agreement, the consultancy agreement was deemed to be abandoned, because the project was not completed. In turn, one of the consultants, Dr. Brent Reynolds, has been performing other services for us during the year ended December 31, 2016, and has agreed to join our Board of Advisors. Dr Reynolds is currently a professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Florida, College of Medicine, where his lab focuses on the application of natural products for treating diseases and dysfunction of the nervous system. In recognition of his services to us during the year ended December 31, 2016, and as an inducement to join our Board of Advisors, he was issued 100,000 shares of our common stock for such services, and the fair market value of these shares in the amount of $163,783 was credited to stockholders equity (deficit) on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, and the residual amount of $53,783 was recognized as a loss on the extinguishment of a debt in our consolidated statement of operations.
NOTE 10 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

As described in Note 4 above, on June 9, 2014, we received 1,187,500 common shares and 3,000,000 warrants to purchase common shares of WMD in exchange for future consulting services and use of our intellectual property. We recorded the $893,750 fair value of these securities as deferred revenue, and we recognized $150,000 of this amount as revenue during the period July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, based upon our initial three year estimate of the service period involved. Based on consultations with WMD, we expect to deliver the remaining consulting services and use of our intellectual property to WMD on a relatively consistent monthly basis during the four year period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018. Accordingly, we are now recognizing $15,000 of deferred revenue per month, and thus, during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized a total of $45,000 and $90,000, respectively, of revenue applicable to this arrangement. At September 30, 2017, we expect to recognize $180,000 of the remaining $248,750 WMD deferred revenue during the next twelve months and accordingly, we have classified the $180,000 as a current liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On December 28, 2014, we entered into a royalty and consulting services agreement with FoxBarry Farms, LLC (FoxBarry) whereby we received a $200,000 prepaid royalty payment from FoxBarry. At the time, we planned to recognize deferred royalty revenue based on actual applicable sales as defined in the agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we did not recognize any deferred revenue related to this agreement. In August 2015, we discontinued providing consulting services to FoxBarry, as our initial project with FoxBarry was abandoned due to operational issues. However, FoxBarry appears to no longer be in existence, and since all of our conditions pursuant to the agreement have been satisfied, we elected to recognize the $200,000 of deferred income during the year ended December 31, 2016, as other income

We issued to certain of our employees 57,500 stock options, at an option price of $0.92 per share that will become vested and exercisable on July 26, 2018.
Common Stock Issued In Exchange For Warrant Outstanding
On February 10, 2016, we issued 621,000 shares of our common stock valued at $987,390 based on the previous days closing price, to Typenex Co-Investment, LLC ("Typenex") in exchange for the return of Warrant #1 to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (the Warrant) that we issued to Typenex on August 13, 2014, as part of a financing arrangement. We calculated the fair value of the Warrant to be $218,788, or approximately $1.29 per underlying share, utilizing the Black Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions on the date of valuation:

The Warrant gave Typenex the right to purchase 170,044 shares of our common stock on the issuance date and provided for adjustments to the number of shares underlying the Warrant upon occurrence of certain events including subsequent sales of our common stock. Our repurchase of the Warrant resulted in Typenex forgoing its potential right to receive shares in excess of the original 170,044 shares underlying the Warrant on the original issuance date. On February 10, 2016, we recorded the $768,602 fair value of the common shares issued in excess of the $218,788 fair value of the Warrant reacquired as a loss on settlement of disputed terms of warrant in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and as an increase in common stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. On February 10, 2016, we cancelled the Warrant and recorded the $218,788 fair value as an increase to common stock.

NOTE 16 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
On February 20, 2017, we entered into a consulting agreement with a third party that has a twelve month term, and which can be extended by mutual agreement. The agreement provides for the issuance of a five (5) year warrant to the consultant, upon the execution of the agreement, to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.18 per share, plus the payment of $7,500 on the first day of each month, beginning March 1, 2016, coupled with the monthly issuance of five (5) year warrants to purchase our common stock in a number of shares determined by dividing $7,500 by $0.18 per share. These warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.18 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $84,380 of expense applicable to this consulting agreement.
On May 6, 2014, we entered into a consulting agreement with two third party consultants that has a nine month term, which can be renewed and/or extended by mutual agreement. Currently, the renewal of the agreement is under negotiation. The agreement provides for a $50,000 payment to the consultants at signing, which has been paid, and for three more $50,000 payments (a total of $200,000) and the issuance of 100,000 shares of our common stock upon the achievement of certain goals as set forth in appendix II of the agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized no expenses applicable to this agreement At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the project was approximately 80% complete and $110,000 is included in accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets. The value of the 100,000 shares will be recognized upon achievement of the goals. The project has been suspended and it is unknown when it will resume.
Financing Agreement Equity Line of Credit
On December 28, 2016, the Company entered into an equity line of credit agreement with Tangiers Global, LLC (Tangiers). Under the equity line agreement, Tangiers has agreed to provide the Company with up to $10,000,000 of funding through the purchase of shares of the Companys common stock. During the term of the agreement, the Company may deliver a put notice to Tangiers, which will specify the number of shares which the Company will sell to Tangiers. The minimum amount the Company can draw down at any one time is $5,000, and the maximum amount the Company can draw down at any one time is $350,000 as determined by the formula contained in the equity line agreement.
A closing will occur on the date which is no earlier than five trading days following, and no later than seven trading days following, the applicable put notice. On each closing date, the Company will sell, and Tangiers will purchase, the shares of the Companys common stock specified in the put notice. The amount to be paid by Tangiers on a particular closing date will be determined by multiplying the purchase price by the number of shares specified in the put notice. The purchase price is 85% of the average of the two lowest trading prices of the Companys common stock during the pricing period applicable to the put notice. The pricing period, with respect to a particular put notice, is five consecutive trading days including, and immediately following, the delivery of a put notice to Tangiers. The Company may submit a put notice once every ten trading days provided the closing of the previous transaction has taken place. The Company is under no obligation to submit any put notices.
