Nature of Operations
GSRX
Industries Inc. (“the Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed under the name Cyberspace Vita, Inc. (“Cyberspace”)
on November 7, 2006. Cyberspace’s initial business plan was related to the online sale of vitamins and supplements. On May
11, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Peter Zachariou, the
majority shareholder of Cyberspace (the “Shareholder”), Project 1493, LLC, a limited liability company organized under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“1493”), and Peach Management, LLC (“Peach”) the sole member
of 1493 (the “Member”), pursuant to which the Member transferred all of the outstanding membership interests of 1493
to the Company in exchange for 16,690,912 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Exchange Shares”),
warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of three (3)
years from the date of issuance (the “Exchange Warrants”) and 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that grants
the holders thereof fifty-one percent (51%) voting power (the “Preferred Shares” and together with the Exchange Shares,
and the Exchange Warrants, the “Exchange Securities”). As a result of the Exchange Agreement, 1493 became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and the business of 1493 became the business of the Company. At the time of the Exchange Agreement,
Cyberspace was not engaged in any business activity. The Company accounted for the acquisition of 1493 as a reverse merger and
all prior periods presented are those of 1493.
Pure
and Natural One-TN, LLC (“PaN One”) was organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee on February 5, 2019. PaN
One was formed for the purpose of operating CBD retail operations in Tennessee. PaN One opened its first kiosk location in Governor’s
Square Mall in Clarksville, Tennessee on February 9, 2019.
Green
Room Palm Springs LLC (“GRPS”) was organized under the laws of the State of California on March 4, 2019. GRPS was
formed for the purpose of operating a cannabis dispensary in Palm Springs, California.
The
Company is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating medical cannabis dispensaries throughout Puerto Rico; cannabis
related businesses in California and real estate leasing in Puerto Rico and California.
The
Company entered into the
Final Purchasing Agreements (“FPA”)
with
holders of licenses to operate medicinal cannabis dispensaries in Puerto Rico. Pursuant to the FPAs, the Company acquired all
of the legal rights, permits, pre-qualification licenses, and leases for five (5) medicinal cannabis dispensaries. The pre-qualification
licenses do not allow the holder to open a dispensary, but instead offers the opportunity to go through the qualifying steps in
order to obtain the requisite operating permit necessary to open the dispensary. Such steps include proving financial viability,
background checks, application of the final permit, proof of certificate of occupancy, employment of a security firm, installation
of security cameras, and other similar compliance matters.
The
Company operates six dispensaries as follows:

regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present
fairly the consolidated financial position and results of its operations for the periods presented have been made. The results
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31,
2018 (including the notes thereto) set forth in Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.

Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months
at purchase or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances at a limited number of banks
and financial institutions may exceed insurable amounts. At March 31, 2019, the Company had $0 in excess of FDIC depository
insurance coverage. The Company believes it mitigates its risks by depositing cash or investing in cash equivalents in major financial
institutions.
Cash
held in escrow, in the name of the Company, is held by Gunnison Bank (“Gunnison”). The escrow account was established
to hold the deposits from the sale of equity in subsidiaries and hold funds for businesses under subscription agreements. There
are no restrictions on the funds held by Gunnison on the Company’s behalf.
Investments,
fair value
On
March 30, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Agreement”) and an Ancillary Rights
Agreement (the “Ancillary Agreement”) with Chemesis International Inc., a British Columbian Corporation (“CADMF”).
In the Share Agreement, the Company received 7,291,874 restricted shares of common stock of CADMF. Fair value of the investment
as of March 31, 2019 was $11,666,998. CADMF is quoted on the OTC market and closed on Friday, March 29, 2019 at $1.60 per share.
Investments,
cost method
Pure
and Natural, LLC made a $50,000 investment on January 4, 2019 for a 10% equity and profits interest in The Zen Stop, LLC.
The Zen Stop is a
mobile wellness business called “
Zen
Stop.”
The investment is carried at the cost basis as it is a private company and fair value cannot be
readily determined.
Pure
and Natural, LLC purchased 25,167 membership units in Buzznog, LLC for $20,000 on March 6, 2019. The investment is carried at
the cost basis as it is a private company and fair value cannot be readily determined.
Revenue
Recognition
In
accordance with the new guidance, the Company recognizes revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company
expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers. The Company’s policy
is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer.
In
limited instances when products are sold under consignment arrangements, the Company does not recognize revenue until control
over such products has transferred to the end consumer.
The
Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat
these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue.
As this policy election is in line with the Company’s previous accounting practices, the treatment of shipping and handling
activities under Topic 606 did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial
statement disclosures.

Accounts
Receivable
The
Company carries its accounts receivable at their estimated realizable amounts and periodically evaluates the credit condition
of its customers. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is based on the Company’s historical bad debt experience
and on management’s evaluation of collectability of the individual outstanding balances. As of March 31, 2019, the
Company had not identified any uncollectible accounts.
Inventory
The
Company’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory consists of cannabis products, such as flower, edibles,
creams, oils and cannabis accessories such as pipes, bowls and cartridges; and CBD products, such as soft gels, tinctures,
balms, pain cream and vape pens.

Intangible
Costs
The
Company has incurred costs related to Patent Application Costs during the year ended December 31, 2018 and quarter ended March
31, 2019, consisting of $1,943,934 of legal fees. The patent applications will continue to be filed over the next several quarters.
As the patents have not been issued as of March 31, 2019, no amortization has been applied against the patent costs. If the patents
are approved, the Company will amortize the patent application costs over their useful lives. If the patents are not approved,
the patent application costs will be expensed and charged to operations. (Note 7).
Share
based Compensation
Compensation
cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized
in the consolidated financial statements and covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options,
restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. That cost is measured
based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. (See Note 3).
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of the Company’s current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion the Company is not exposed, except for cash balances in excess of the
FDIC depository insurance coverage, to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the accrual method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values
and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on the deferred income tax assets and liabilities of
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company was organized under
the laws of Nevada and therefore will be taxed at statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rates.
Basic
Earnings per Share
The
Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”, which specifies the computation,
presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock.
Basic
net loss per share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the Company’s earnings per share calculation due to the effect of
being anti-dilutive. The total number of potentially dilutive securities which have been excluded is 6,995,796. (Note 3).

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
As
of March 31, 2019 and through May 15, 2019, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not
believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position or future operating results. The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on
its financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires all leases that have a term of over
12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset
initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases
on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating
lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. On January
1, 2019, we adopted this standard on our consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized the Right of Use asset
in the amount of $6,316,879 and Lease Liability – current of $1,188,821 and Lease Liability – non-current of $5,238,108
as of March 31, 2019. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized an additional $110,050 of rental expense
charged to operations due to the adoption of the standard.

The
Company may issue warrants to non-employees in capital raising transactions or for services. In accordance with guidance in ASC
Topic 718, the cost of warrants issued to non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value
is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis
over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. No warrants were issued
for compensation during the period ended March 31, 2019.
All
of the outstanding warrants granted were fully vested on the grant date.
January
2019 Stock Offering
In
January and February 2019, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “January Agreement”) with selected
accredited investors. Pursuant to the terms of the January Agreement, the Company offered up to $1,500,000 in units (each, a “Unit”
and collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $1.25 per Unit (the “January Offering”). Each Unit
consisted of (i) one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”); and
(ii) warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “
Warrants
”).
The number of shares underlying each Warrant was equal to 33% of the number of Shares subscribed for by such Investor. The Warrants
are exercisable at any time on or after the date of issuance for a period of two (2) years at an exercise price per share equal
to $1.75. In the January Offering, the Company sold an aggregate of 621,600 Units, resulting in total gross proceeds of $777,000.
As a result, the Company issued to the investors a total of 621,600 Shares and 207,200 Warrants. The January Offering closed on
March 6, 2019.

Income Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and
rates on the date of enactment.

Risk
of Prosecution for Cannabis-Related Companies
A
company that is connected to the marijuana industry must be aware that cannabis-related companies may be at risk of federal, and
perhaps state, criminal prosecution. The Department of Treasury recently issued guidance noting: “The Controlled Substances
Act” (“CSA”) makes it illegal under federal law to manufacture, distribute, or dispense cannabis. Many states
impose and enforce similar prohibitions. As of March 31, 2019 and May 15, 2019, the Company has not been notified
of any pending investigations regarding its planned business activities, and is not currently involved in any such investigations
with any regulators.
California
Operating Licenses
Effective
January 1, 2018 the State of California allowed for adult use cannabis sales. California’s cannabis licensing system is
being implemented in two phases. First, beginning on January 1, 2018, the State began issuing temporary licenses. On January 1,
2019 the State ceased issuing temporary licenses and began transitioning 2018 qualifying temporary licenses to provisional and
annual license status.
Green
Spirit Mendocino, LLC holds a provisional license which expires April 4, 2020. The provisional license was issued by the Bureau
of Cannabis Control (“BCC”) while the annual application is pending final approval. Point Arena Manufacturing, LLC
(“PAM”) which holds a Non-Volatile Type 6 Manufacturing license was issued a provisional license on April 24,
2019. . Point Arena Distribution, LLC holds a Distribution Type 11 license issued by the BCC which expires on July 8, 2019.
Although
the possession, cultivation and distribution of cannabis for medical and adult use is permitted in California, cannabis is a Schedule-I
controlled substance and its use remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts
state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis would likely result in our inability to
proceed with our business plan, especially in respect of our cannabis cultivation, production and dispensaries. In addition, our
assets, including real property, cash, equipment and other goods, could be subject to asset forfeiture because cannabis is still
federally illegal.
