EXACTUS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 
 
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION  
 
Organization and Business Description
 
Exactus, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 18, 2008 as an alternative energy research and development company. During much of its history the Company had designed solar monitoring and charging systems which were discontinued in 2016 to focus on developing point-of-care diagnostic devices. The Company has recently added to the scope of its activities efforts to produce, market and sell products made from industrial hemp containing cannabidiol (“CBD”).
   
On January 8, 2019 the Company began pursuing hemp-derived CBD as a new business segment after passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the 2018 Farm Bill. The 2018 Farm Bill declassified industrial hemp as a Schedule I substance, shifted regulatory authority from the Drug Enforcement Administration to the Department of Agriculture, and provided autonomy for states to regulate the industry. The 2018 Farm Bill did not change the Food and Drug Administration’s oversight authority over CBD products. The 2018 Farm Bill defined industrial hemp as a variety of cannabis containing an amount equal to or lower than 0.3% tetra-hydrocannabinol (THC) and allowed farmers to grow and sell hemp under state regulation. Industry reports indicate that 41 states have set up cultivation and production programs to regulate the production of hemp.
 
Following passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, the Company entered into a Master Product Development and Supply Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ceed2Med, LLC (“C2M”). Under the Master Agreement, C2M agreed to provide to the Company up to 2,500 kilograms of products (isolate or distillate) for manufacture into consumer products such as tinctures, edibles, capsules, topical solutions and animal health products. The Company believes manufacturing, testing and quality akin to pharmaceutical products is important when distributing hemp-based products. The Company’s products originate from farms at which the Company (or C2M) oversee all stages of plant growth and are manufactured under contract arrangements with third-parties.
 
The Company identified the rapidly growing hemp-based CBD market as a valuable target for a new company focus. On January 8, 2019, the Company entered into the Master Product Development and Supply Agreement with C2M. In consideration for the Development Agreement (see Note 11), C2M was issued 8,385,691 shares of our Common Stock. Additionally, the Company granted immediately vested 10-year options to purchase 750,000 shares of Common Stock, with exercise price of $0.32 per share to three C2M founders. As a result, C2M became the Company’s largest shareholder holding (inclusive of the vested options held by its founders) approximately 51% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the Development Agreement which has subsequently been reduced to approximately 22% as of September 30, 2019. Consequently, such transaction resulted in a change of control whereby, C2M obtained majority control through its Common Stock ownership (See Note 11). In connection with this agreement, the Company received access to expertise, resources, skills and experience suitable for production of CBD rich ingredients including isolates, distillates, water soluble, and proprietary formulations. Under the Development Agreement, the Company was allotted a minimum of 50 and up to 300 kilograms per month, and up to 2,500 kilograms annually, of CBD rich ingredients for resale and placed a $1 million purchase order for products. The Company currently offers products such as tinctures, edibles, capsules, topical solutions and animal health products manufactured for the Company as branded and white-label products.
 
On March 11, 2019, with the assistance of C2M and assignment of rights, the Company acquired a 50.1% limited liability membership interest in Exactus One World, LLC (“EOW”), an Oregon limited liability company formed on January 25, 2019, in order to farm industrial hemp for its own use. Prior to the acquisition, EOW had no operating activities. The Company acquired its 50.1% limited liability membership interest pursuant to a Subscription Agreement and a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (See Note 3). Following the events described above, the Company entered into the business of production and selling of industrial hemp grown for its own use and for sale to third-parties.
 
On January 11, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-8 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) including shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible securities. All share and per share values of the Company’s Common Stock for all periods presented in this Report and in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are retroactively restated for the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
 
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its 50.1% subsidiary, EOW and 51% subsidiary, Paradise Medlife. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information, which includes consolidated unaudited interim financial statements and present the consolidated unaudited interim financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2019. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 10K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
Going concern
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern concept contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. No adjustment has been made to the carrying amount and classification of the Company’s assets and the carrying amount of its liabilities based on the going concern uncertainty. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss attributable to Exactus Inc. common shareholders of $5,168,306 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The net cash used in operating activities was $5,027,674 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,706,198 at September 30, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of common and preferred shares and from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Over the last several months the Company and its advisors have been evaluating numerous opportunities and relationships to increase shareholder value. The Company expects to realize revenue through its efforts, if successful, to sell wholesale and retail products to third parties. However, as the Company is in a start-up phase, in a new business venture, in a rapidly evolving industry, many of its costs and challenges are new and unknown. In order to fund the Company’s activities, the Company will need to raise additional capital either through the issuance of equity and/or the issuance of debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company received proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Common Stock of approximately $7.0 million.
 
Use of Estimates  
 
The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet, and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to the fair value of derivative liabilities, useful life of property and equipment, fair value of right of use assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term, contingent liabilities, and fair value of non-cash equity transactions.

Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The guidance prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier value hierarchy that distinguishes among the following:
 
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
 
Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
 
The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
 
 
 
At September 30, 2019

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has no assets that are re-measured at fair value.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of those investments approximates their fair market value due to their short maturity and liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts on deposit with financial institutions, which amounts may at times exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on such accounts and we do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk. The Company had $0 cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents were $5,686 and $1,960 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
 
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
 
The Company has a policy of providing on allowance for doubtful accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable.  The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt.  Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to bad debt expense and included in the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted $9,407 and $0, respectively. Bad debt expense amounted $9,407 and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
 
Total prepaid expenses and other current assets of $166,149 and $12,330 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Prepaid expenses to C2M who is a related party, amounted to $622,159 – current portion and $2,648,864 – long-term portion at September 30, 2019 (see Note 10). Prepaid expenses consist primarily of costs paid for future services which will occur within a year. Prepaid expenses may include prepayments in cash and equity instruments for an operating lease, consulting, and insurance fees which are being amortized over the terms of their respective agreements.
 
Inventory
 
The Company values inventory, consisting of raw materials, growing plants and finished goods, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in and first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company reduces inventory for the diminution of value, resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated net realizable value. Factors utilized in the determination of the estimated net realizable value include (i) estimates of future demand, and (ii) competitive pricing pressures. In accordance with ASC 905, “Agriculture”, costs of growing hemp are accumulated until the time of harvest and are reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired, or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
 
Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
 
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” the embedded conversion features in the convertible notes (see Note 9) are not considered to be indexed to the Company’s stock. As a result, these are required to be accounted for as derivative financial liabilities and have been recognized as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the derivative financial liabilities is determined using a binomial model with Monte Carlo simulation and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including the Company’s stock price, expected stock price volatility, the expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. The derivative financial liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any changes in fair value is recognized as a component in other income (expenses).
 
Revenue Recognition
 
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 and the related amendments Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps:
 
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
 
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
 
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
 
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
 
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
 
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are shipped or delivered to the customer, which is when the customer has title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product.

Cost of Sales
 
The primary components of cost of sales include the cost of the product and shipping fees.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
The Company follow ASC 730-10, “Research and Development,” and expenses research and development costs when incurred.  Accordingly, third-party research and development costs, including designing, prototyping and testing of product, are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or milestone results have been achieved. Indirect costs are allocated based on percentage usage related to the research and development.   Research and development costs of $36,975 and $225,000 were incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $10,000 and $75,000 were incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included in operating expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
 
Through March 31, 2018, pursuant to ASC 505-50 - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions are expected to be met. Using a Black Scholes valuation model, the Company periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee options until service conditions are met, which generally aligns with the vesting period of the options, and the Company adjusts the expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The Company adoption did not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The awards to consultants and other third-parties are then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated, based on the then current fair value, at each subsequent reporting date.
 
Related Parties
 
We follow ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Earnings per Share
 
We compute basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if preferred stock converted to Common Stock and warrants are exercised.  Preferred stock and warrants are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive.  As of September 30, 2018, the Company had 4,488,472 potential shares and warrants that were excluded from our calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per shares because their impact was anti-dilutive:
 
 
 
 September 30,2019
 
Common Stock equivalents:
 
 
 
Stock warrants
  1,154,500 
Stock options
  5,642,708 
Convertible notes payable
  250,000 
Convertible Preferred Stock  
  11,075,545 
Total
  18,122,753 
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
 
 The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes 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 at 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 benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
 
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open.  The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.
 
Non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-65, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). This ASC clarifies that a non-controlling (minority) interest in subsidiaries is an ownership interest in the entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest, with disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the amounts attributed to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-21, those losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest shall be attributed to those interests even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance. On March 11, 2019, the Company acquired a 50.1% limited liability membership interest in EOW, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement and a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (see Note 3) and has the right to appoint a manager of the limited liability company. Additionally, on July 5, 2019, the Company acquired a 51% limited liability membership interest in Paradise Medlife (see Note 3).

Leases
 
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
 
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
 
Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (ASU 2017-04). The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments of ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, but the loss cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. The amendments require a prospective approach to adoption and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
 
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Part I of ASU No. 2017-11, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
We have reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management.

The Company acquired 50.1% limited liability membership interest pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) and a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Company acquired a 30% interest in EOW, and an additional 20.1% was acquired from existing members pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The existing members are considered third parties. The Company has the right to appoint a Manager of the limited liability company and has appointed its President. Under the Operating Agreement for EOW, as amended, the Company has the right to appoint, and remove and replace, if desired, one of three managers of EOW, with each manager having the full rights to control the business and affairs of EOW. The Company appointed its President, Emiliano Aloi, as its Manager of EOW.
 
Under the term of the Subscription Agreement, the Company acquired 30% of membership interest in EOW in consideration for cash of $2,700,000 payable as follows:
 
$400,000 paid previously for purchase of Hemp Seeds;
$100,000 upon execution of the LLC Operating Agreement;
$500,000 on or before April 1, 2019;
$500,000 on or before May 1, 2019;

$450,000 on or before September 1, 2019 and,
$450,000 on or before October 1, 2019
 
The acquisition of the 30% membership interest is deemed to be an investment in and capital contribution to EOW and shall be eliminated upon consolidation. The Company paid a total of approximately $2,344,000 between April 2019 and September 2019.
 
Under the term of the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 20.1% of EOW from existing members for aggregate consideration of $2,940,000 consisting of cash payments of $1,000,000, 937,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and $450,000 worth of shares of Common Stock on June 14, 2019.  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 937,500 shares of its Common Stock valued at $990,000, or $1.056 per share, the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock based on the quoted trading price on the date of the Purchase Agreement. No goodwill was recorded since the Purchase Agreement was accounted for as an asset purchase.
  
The consideration shall be paid to the sellers as follows:
 
$300,000 cash and 937,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the sellers upon execution, which was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2019;
$700,000 on April 20, 2019 which was paid on April 18, 2019;

Green Goddess manufactures and distributes a premium line of hemp-derived products sold through distributors and online. Green Goddess has been a contract manufacturer for C2M and the Company. 
 
Under the terms of the Green Goddess Purchase Agreement the Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and pay $250,000 cash for the acquisition to be paid in six installments. The first installment of $41,667 shall be due within 90 days of the closing and the five additional installments shall be paid starting on October 12, 2019 and continuing on the first day of each following month. The shares vest 1/24 on the closing date and an additional 1/24 vests on the first day of each month thereafter provided that the Company and the Executive under the Employment Agreement discussed below are neither in breach of this Green Goddess Purchase Agreement or the Employment Agreement. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement under which the Company may become obligated to issue up to an additional $250,000 of Common Stock (the “Additional Stock Consideration”) based upon the volume weighted average price per share (“VWAP”) for the 20 days prior to issuance, in the event that sales of products utilizing seller’s flavored products exceed $500,000 monthly for a three month average period. The Additional Stock Consideration shall vest 1/24 on the signature or execution date of this Green Goddess Purchase Agreement and an additional 1/24 vests on the first day of each month thereafter provided that the Company and the Executive under the Employment Agreement discussed below are neither in breach of this Green Goddess Purchase Agreement or the Employment Agreement.

Pursuant to ASU 2017-01 and ASC 805, the Company analyzed the operations of Green Goddess and the related agreements to determine if the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. The gross assets include the intellectual property (the related trademark, brand, and IP addresses are determined to be a single intangible asset), the inventory, customer list, non-compete/non-solicitation and the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company concluded that substantially all of the fair values of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
 
The set has outputs through the continuation of revenues, and the Company considered the criteria in paragraph 805-10-55-5E to determine whether the set includes both inputs and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The set is not a business because: 1) It does not include an organized workforce that could meet the criteria in paragraph 805-10-55-5E (a) through (b), 2) There are no acquired processes that could meet the criteria in paragraph 805-10-55-5E(c) through (d), and 3) It does not include both an input and a substantive process. Accordingly, the transaction was not considered a business.

In connection with the issuance of notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, on the initial measurement date of the notes, the fair values of the embedded conversion option of $568,000 was recorded as derivative liabilities of which $361,090 was charged to current period operations as initial derivative expense and $206,910 was recorded as a debt discount which was amortized into interest expense over the term of the note. The Company recognized gain on extinguishment of debt due to repayment and conversions of notes into shares of common and preferred stock of $3,007,629 and change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $896,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company determined that the conversion options embedded in the Notes require liability presentation at fair value. Each of these instruments provide the holder with the right to convert into Common Stock at a fixed discount market, with certain notes subject to a cap on the conversion price. These clauses cause uncertainty as to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and accordingly require liability presentation on the balance sheet in accordance with US GAAP. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company measured the fair value of the embedded derivatives using a binomial model and Monte Carlo simulations, and the following assumptions:

Series E - On August 1, 2019 the Company issued 10,000 shares of newly designated Series E 0% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series E Preferred”) to C2M pursuant to the MSA. Under the terms of the Series E Preferred, C2M may only convert such shares of Series E Preferred into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, if the closing price of Common Stock on the principal trading market, shall exceed $2.00 per share for 5 consecutive trading days. Once vested, the shares of Series E Preferred held by C2M are intended to either be converted at $1.60 per share of Common Stock or optionally redeemed out of the proceeds of future financings, at the option of C2M.
 
Each share of Series E Preferred is convertible into 625 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and have a stated value of $1,000 per share. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Company is prohibited from effecting conversions of the Series E Preferred to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder beneficially owns more than 4.99% (which may be increased to 9.99% upon 61 days’ written notice), in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred. Holders of the Series E Preferred shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders and shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are convertible, subject to applicable beneficial ownership limitations. The Series E Preferred Stock provides a liquidation preference equal to par value.
  
The Series E Preferred has a no mandatory redemption rights however, in the event that we raise $5,000,000 from a capital raising transaction involving any equity or equity-linked financing during any fiscal quarter in an amount which would cause the Company’s cash or cash equivalents to exceed $5,000,000 (a “Fundamental Transaction”), the Company is required from the proceeds of such offering, to offer C2M a right to redeem Series E Preferred then outstanding as follows:
 
(A) 0% percent of the net proceeds of the Fundamental Transaction, after deduction of the amount of net proceeds required to leave the Company (together with our existing cash on hand immediately prior to the completion of the Fundamental Transaction) with cash on hand of $5,000,000; plus
 
(B) 10% percent of the next $5,000,000 of net proceeds of the Fundamental Transaction; plus
 
(C) 100% of the net proceeds of the Fundamental Transaction thereafter (until the Series E Preferred is redeemed in full).
 
The shares of Series E Preferred are convertible into Common Stock, once vested, at a price of $1.60 per share. The Company is not obligated to file a registration statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock into which Series E Preferred shares may be converted. The Company believes that the occurrence of the Fundamental Transaction is considered a conditional event and as a result the instrument does not meet the definition of mandatorily redeemable financial instrument based from ASC 480-10-25, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. This financial instrument was assessed at each reporting period to determine whether circumstances have changed such that the instrument met the definition of a mandatorily redeemable instrument (that is, the event is no longer conditional). If the event has occurred, the condition is resolved, or the event has become certain to occur, the financial instrument will be reclassified as a liability.
 
On July 31, 2019, the Company granted 10,000 Series E Preferred in connection with a Management and Services Agreement (the “MSA”) with C2M, the Company’s largest shareholder (see Note 11). The Company valued the 10,000 Series E Preferred shares which is equivalent into 6,250,000 common shares at a fair value of $0.54 per common share or $3,375,000 based on the sales of common stock on recent private placements on the dates of grant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $103,977 and prepaid expense – related party of $3,271,023 to be amortize over the term of the MSA.

As a result, C2M became the Company’s largest shareholder holding (inclusive of the vested options held by its founders) approximately 51% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the Development Agreement. Consequently, such transaction resulted in a change of control whereby, C2M obtained majority control through its Common Stock ownership (See Note 11). Therefore, the Company accounted for the 8,385,691 shares of Common Stock under ASC 845-10-S99 “Transfer of Nonmonetary Assets by Promoters or Shareholders” whereby the transfer of nonmonetary assets to a company by its promoters or shareholders in exchange for stock prior to or at the time of the company's initial public offering normally should be recorded at the transferors' historical cost basis determined under GAAP. The Company determined that the value of the Development Agreement is $0 and recording it in a step-up basis would not be appropriate since C2M is considered a promoter, majority shareholder and also a related party having an ownership interest of 51% in the Company on the execution date of the Development Agreement. Accordingly, the Company recorded the issuance of 8,385,691 shares of Common Stock at par value. The 750,000 options were valued on the grant date at approximately $0.13 per option for a total of $96,000 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $0.13 per share (based on the quoted trading price on the dates of grants), volatility of 296%, expected term of 10 year, and a risk free interest rate of 2.74%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $96,000.
 
Common Stock issued for settlement of debt
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 250,000 shares of Common Stock to note holders upon the conversion of $4,000 of accrued interest. The fair value of shares on conversion was $196,000 having a derivative value on date of conversion of $18,000 and the balance of $178,000 was recorded as loss on settlement of debt. Additionally, in March 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 203,080 shares of Common Stock to a noteholder upon the conversion of $27,000 of principal amount, accrued interest of $3,267 and $10,349 of accrued expenses.
 
Common Stock for membership interest in subsidiary
 
On March 11, 2019, with the assistance of C2M and assignment of rights, under the term of the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired additional 20.1% from existing members in consideration for payment of 937,500 shares of Common Stock (see Note 3).  The 937,500 shares of Common Stock were valued at the fair value of $1.056 per common share or $990,000 based on the quoted trading price on the date of grant. Additionally, on June 10, 2019, the Company was required to issue the existing members an additional $450,000 of shares of Common Stock of the Company based upon the 20 day volume weighted average price per share on the date of issue which was equivalent to $0.89 per share or 503,298 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and was issued in August 2019. In connection with this transaction, there were 503,298 shares of Common Stock to be issued as of September 30, 2019.

Legal Matters
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions which, in its judgment, are normal and customary for companies in the Company’s industry sector. These agreements are typically with business partners, clinical sites, and suppliers. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company generally agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties with respect to the Company’s product candidates, use of such product candidates, or other actions taken or omitted by us. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. As a result, the estimated fair value of liabilities relating to these provisions is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these provisions as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
 
In July 2018 we received notice of the expiration and termination of a license agreement dated January 19, 2016 acquired through the Share Exchange by our subsidiary Exactus BioSolutions, Inc that the Company recognized as an intangible asset from Digital Diagnostics, Inc.

(“KDI”) and Dr. Krassen Dimitrov, our former director seeking payment for alleged past due consulting fees from June 2017 through November 2018 pursuant to a Consulting Agreement dated January 20, 2016.  On January 23, 2019, Digital Diagnostics, made a demand for compensation against the Company in connection with an alleged breach of a License Agreement. Under the terms of these agreements, the parties are required to arbitrate claims.  Although we dispute the material allegations made by Digital Diagnostics and KDI, if such actions were successful damages could be awarded against us.
On December 14, 2018, the Company received a termination and demand notice from KD Innovation, Ltd, an entity 100% owned by a former Board member, in connection with a consulting agreement KDI entered into with the Company’s subsidiary, Exactus Biosolutions, Inc., on or about January 20, 2016. No lawsuit has been filed; however, in the event a lawsuit is filed, the Company intends to vigorously contest the matter.

Under the Development Agreement, we have been allotted a minimum of 50 and up to 300 kilograms per month, and up to 2,500 kilograms annually, of active phyto-cannabinoid (CBD) rich ingredients for resale. We expect to be able to offer tinctures, edibles, capsules, topical solutions and animal health products manufactured for us by C2M to satisfy demand for branded and white-label products that we intend to offer to sell in the future. The founders of C2M established their first CBD business in 2014. C2M will also be responsible for overseeing all farming and manufacturing activities of the Company.
 
Whereas, in consideration for the Development Agreement, C2M was issued 8,385,691 shares of our Common Stock on January 8, 2019.

Management and Services Agreement
 
As previously disclosed, on March 11, 2019, the Company acquired, through our majority-owned subsidiary, EOW, from the Company’s largest shareholder, C2M, certain rights to a 50.1% limited liability membership interest in certain farm leases and operations in Oregon in order to enter into the business of hemp farming for the 2019 grow season. During May 2019, the Company appointed Emiliano Aloi, the President of the Company, to the additional position of co-manager of EOW. The Company currently is farming approximately 200 acres of hemp for harvest and production during 2019. 
 
On July 31, 2019, the Company finalized and entered into a Management and Services Agreement in order to provide the Company project management and various other benefits associated with the farming rights, operations and opportunities with C2M, including assignment by C2M of C2M’s agreements and rights to acquire approximately 200 acres of hemp farming. Under the terms of the MSA, C2M agreed to provide further access to the opportunities and know-how of C2M, consented to the appointment of Emiliano Aloi, a seasoned hemp veteran previously an advisor and currently the Company’s President, and to provide the Company and EOW additional services consisting of, among other things:
 
right of participation for further investment and business opportunities in order to rapidly expand our business and operations in hemp-derived CBD;
 
executive, sourcing, vendor, product, production and other expertise and resources;
 
appointment of Aloi to the position of President;
 
introductions to farming and other financing;
 
designs for international “Hemp-Café” store design and franchise opportunities including plans, drawings, approvals and authorizations, leads and contacts;
 
access to leasing of prime real estate in Delray Beach Florida with an option to purchase, and the continuing assistance of the founder of C2M in connection with management, design, and promotion of the project;
 
drawings, designs and specifications for extraction, production and manufacturing facilities and resources;
 
brand development and support services.
 
The Company finalized the compensation arrangements for C2M as contemplated in connection with the March 2019 transactions and the additional agreements with C2M under the MSA following tax, accounting and legal review including the treatment of the issuance of preferred stock in connection with the transactions. While the assignment initially contemplated a $9 million payment from the Company to C2M, the parties agreed to payment in a new class of preferred stock, convertible above market. As a further condition to payment of the consideration, the value of the 50.1% interest in EOW was required to be not less than $25 million, with a third-party valuation and fairness opinion from a third-party prior to payment. On April 29, 2019, the Company received an independent fairness opinion from Scalar, LLC (“Scalar Report”) that concluded the transaction, including the consideration to be paid consisting of $10 million of Series E Preferred (see Note 10), was fair from a financial point of view. The Scalar Report estimated the enterprise value, taking account of the 2019 harvest, to be between $55 and $74 million, based upon certain assumptions relied upon in connection with preparation of the Scalar Report. The term of the MSA commenced on the date of this agreement.
 
In October 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the MSA (the “MSA Amendment”). The MSA Amendment extended the termination date of the MSA to December 31, 2024 and expanded the scope of services to be provided by C2M to the Company. Included in the scope of services was to negotiate with the minority owners of EOW, an amendment to the Operating Agreement of EOW for the distribution and allocation to provide for up to 100% (from 50.1%) of the results of operations of the 2019 harvest or yield resulting from all plants germinated during the calendar year December 31, 2019 (see Note 14).
 
NOTE 12 - RELATED PARTY CONSIDERATIONS
 
Some of the officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. We have not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. 
 
On November 20, 2017, Dr. Dimitrov, former director of the Company, provided a notice to the Company stating that he was resigning from the Board, effective immediately. Dr. Dimitrov indicated that his resignation from the Board was based on the deteriorating relationship between the Company and Digital Diagnostics over the non-payment of fees owed by the Company pursuant to the licensing agreement between the Company and Digital Diagnostics (See Note 11). There was no change during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

General
 
In December 2018, the Company expanded its focus to pursue opportunities in Cannabidiol (“CBD”). This decision was based in part on the passing of The Hemp Farming Act of 2018. The Act was signed into law during December 2018 and removes hemp (cannabis with less than 0.3% THC) from the Schedule I controlled substances list. Following passage, CBD derived from industrial hemp became legal in the US under federal law and in all 50 states, opening the door to develop and sell hemp-based CBD products nationwide. The Company’s goal is to rapidly establish one or more principal sources of supply and to develop wholesale and retail sales channels for CBD end-products to be sold to humans and for animal health, such as nutraceuticals, supplements and pet and farm products. The Company intends to follow regulatorily compliant pathways by adopting practices established by the FDA for CBD. 
  
On January 8, 2019 we entered into a Master Product Development and Supply Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Ceed2Med, LLC (“C2M”). C2M has provided the Company access to expertise, resources, skills and experience suitable for producing products with active phyto-cannabinoid (CBD) rich ingredients including isolates, distillates, water soluble, and proprietary formulations. Under the Development Agreement, we have been allotted a minimum of 50 and up to 300 kilograms per month, and up to 2,500 kilograms annually, of active phyto-cannabinoid (CBD) rich ingredients for resale. We expect to be able to offer tinctures, edibles, capsules, topical solutions and animal health products manufactured for us by C2M to satisfy demand for branded and white-label products that we intend to offer to sell in the future. The founders of C2M established their first CBD business in 2014. C2M will also be responsible for overseeing all farming and manufacturing activities of the Company.
 
Whereas, in consideration for the Development Agreement, C2M was issued 8,385,691 shares of our Common Stock on January 8, 2019. Additionally, the Company granted immediately vested 10-year options to purchase 750,000 shares of Common Stock to founders of C2M, with exercise price of $0.32 per share. As a result, C2M was our largest shareholder holding (inclusive of the vested options held by its founders) approximately 51% of our outstanding Common Stock on the date of the Development Agreement. These options were granted to two owners and a co-founder of C2M. C2M will provide personnel necessary for our growth. Utilizing C2M employees and facilities, the Company has been able to rapidly access resources and opportunities in the hemp-derived CBD industry. Emiliano Aloi of C2M became a member of our Advisory Board in January 2019 and was appointed President of the Company on March 11, 2019.
 
On March 11, 2019, with the assistance of C2M and assignment of rights, we acquired a 50.1% limited liability membership interest in Exactus One World, LLC, (“EOW”), an Oregon limited liability company, newly formed on January 25, 2019, in order to produce industrial hemp for our own use. EOW has leases starting on March 1, 2019 for approximately 200 acres of farmland in southwest Oregon for growing and processing industrial hemp, with a lease term of one year. The leases are renewable on a year-to-year basis. We acquired the 50.1% limited liability membership interest pursuant to a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) and a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). EOW will farm and process industrial hemp to be manufactured into cannabidiol (CBD) and related products.  EOW will be responsible for the Company’s initial efforts to pursue agricultural development, including farm soil preparation, planting, harvesting, transportation and drying.  We will be responsible for funding and the minority owners will be responsible for management, servicing and operating the farm properties.
 
On October 23, 2019, we amended the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of EOW. Under the terms of the amendment, the minority members of EOW conveyed their 49.9% membership interest and rights to distributions related to the current 2019 hemp crop underway to the Company. As a result, the Company acquired the right to receive 100% of the distributions of net profit from the 2019 hemp crop on approximately 225 acres of farmland currently growing in Oregon. In addition, the members amended the payment schedule under which farm costs are required to be made by the Company. As consideration for the amendment, the Company agreed to issue 1,223,320 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the minority members of EOW.

On July 31, 2019, we finalized and entered into a Management and Services Agreement in order to provide us project management and various other benefits associated with the farming rights, operations and opportunities with C2M, including assignment by C2M of C2M’s agreements and rights to acquire approximately 200 acres of hemp farming. Under the terms of the MSA, C2M agreed to provide further access to the opportunities and know-how of C2M, consented to the appointment of Emiliano Aloi, a seasoned hemp veteran previously an advisor and currently our President, and to provide to us and EOW additional services consisting of, among other things:
 
right of participation for further investment and business opportunities in order to rapidly expand our business and operations in hemp-derived CBD;
 
executive, sourcing, vendor, product, production and other expertise and resources;
 
appointment of Aloi to the position of President;
 
introductions to farming and other financing;
 
designs for international “Hemp-Café” store design and franchise opportunities including plans, drawings, approvals and authorizations, leads and contacts;
 
access to leasing of prime real estate in Delray Beach Florida with an option to purchase, and the continuing assistance of the founder of C2M in connection with management, design, and promotion of the project;
 
drawings, designs and specifications for extraction, production and manufacturing facilities and resources;
 
brand development and support services.
 
We finalized the compensation arrangements for C2M as contemplated in connection with the March 2019 transactions and the additional agreements with C2M under the MSA following tax, accounting and legal review including the treatment of the issuance of preferred stock in connection with the transactions. On July 31, 2019, we granted 10,000 Series E Preferred in connection with the Management and Services Agreement (the “MSA”) with C2M, our largest shareholder. In October 2019, we entered into an amendment to the MSA (the “MSA Amendment”). The MSA Amendment extended the termination date of the MSA to December 31, 2024 and expanded the scope of services to be provided by C2M to us. The MSA Amendment was approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company.

Net Loss
 
As a result of the foregoing, we generated a net loss from operations of $2,108,047 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to a net loss from operations of $1,595,271 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and net loss from operations of $4,625,484 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to a net loss from operations of $3,228,827 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as a result of the discussion above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since our inception in 2008, we have generated losses from operations. As of September 30, 2019, our accumulated deficit was $15,706,198.  As of September 30, 2019, we had $5,686 of cash. Accordingly, we will need to obtain further funding through public or private equity offerings, debt financing, collaboration arrangements or other sources. The issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to our shareholders. In addition, adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital, we will be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs and may not be able to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company has principal outstanding balance of $100,000 from convertible notes as of September 30, 2019. The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum and will mature on February 1, 2023 (see Note 8).
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $5,027,674, due to our net loss of $4,625,484, offset by non-cash charges related to convertible loan notes derivative loss of $1,454,729, amortization of debt discounts of $339,806, amortization of intangible assets of $558,024, amortization prepaid stock-based expenses of $110,416, depreciation expense of $36,720, deferred rent of $42,279 and stock-based compensation of $2,376,050 offset by $3,004,629 for a debt settlement gain. Net changes in assets and liabilities totaled of $2,324,992, which is primarily attributable to increases in total accounts receivable of $137,692, inventory of $2,298,919, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $94,758, and total accounts payable and accrued expenses of $261,613.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $407,924. We recorded a net loss for the nine-month period of $3,228,827. Increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses increased cash by $857,630. Other items in uses of funds from operations included non-cash charges of stock-based compensation, derivative gain, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, and loss on debt settlement in stock which collectively totaled $1,939,179.
 
Net cash used in investing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $2,053,703. We paid cash for the purchase of membership interest in subsidiary for $1,467,500 in connection with a Purchase Agreement and purchase of equipment for $586,203 as compared to none during the prior period.
  
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $7,085,103, due to proceeds from sale of our Common Stock of $7,012,046, net proceeds from the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes $221,129, advance from related party of $231,035 offset by note repayments of $218,572 and repayment on related party advances of $160,535.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $248,000 due to proceeds from our issuance of shares of Series D Preferred Stock of $50,000, the issuance of promissory notes, and convertible loan notes $223,000 offset by convertible loan payments of $25,000.
  
Going Concern
  
The audit report prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm relating to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have concluded that the circumstances described above continue to raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of September 30, 2019. 
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2019, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
In the normal course of business, we may be confronted with issues or events that may result in a contingent liability. These generally relate to lawsuits, claims or the actions of various regulatory agencies. We consult with counsel and other appropriate experts to assess the claim. If, in our opinion, we have incurred a probable loss as set forth by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, an estimate is made of the loss and the appropriate accounting entries are reflected in our financial statements. After consultation with legal counsel, we do not anticipate that liabilities arising out of currently pending or threatened lawsuits and claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
 
Application of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may, therefore, not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (ASU 2017-04). The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments of ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, but the loss cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. The amendments require a prospective approach to adoption and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
 
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Thus, the income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly-recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Part I of ASU No. 2017-11, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
We have reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the Company’s principal executive and financial officers, have conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
 
Our CEO and CFO believe that as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures due to our small size and limited resources: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both U.S. GAAP and SEC Guidelines; (iii) inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including insufficient disaster recovery plans; and (iv) no written whistleblower policy.
 
Our CEO and CFO plan to review and implement appropriate disclosure controls and procedures to remediate these material weaknesses, including (i) appointing additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; (ii) adopting sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting and a whistle blower policy; and (iii) implementing sufficient security and restricted access measures regarding our computer systems and implement a disaster recovery plan.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal over financial reporting.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
On September 25, 2019, Jonathan Gilbert, a former director, filed and served a complaint against the Company in the courts of Nassau County, New York. The complaint alleges that Mr. Gilbert is entitled to retain certain cancelled equity awards and seeks specific performance and damages. The Company has filed a notice of removal and intends to vigorously defend the allegations as it believes the claims are without merit.
 
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are unable to predict the outcome of any such matters or the ultimate legal and financial liability, and at this time cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss and accordingly have not accrued a related liability.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.
 
Our business and financial results are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. As a result, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 should be carefully considered. Other than the risk factor provided below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
 
We are heavily reliant on a small number of customers and suppliers.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, three customers represented 55% of our total net sales of CBD products, and as of September 30, 2019, four customers represented approximately 89% of our total accounts receivable. The loss of any of these customers or their inability to make future payments could significantly impact our business and results of operation. In addition, we purchased all of our finished products from one supplier during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our heavy reliance on our major supplier for the supply of our products could have significant impact on our business and results of operation in the event of any shortage of, or delay in, the supply. The loss of this supplier could significantly impact our business and results of operation.
 
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
Set forth below is information regarding shares of common stock granted by us in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019, that were not registered under the Securities Act and not previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K. Also included is the consideration, if any, received by us, for such shares and information relating to the Securities Act, or rule of the SEC, under which exemption from registration was claimed.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company, relying upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder), issued 666,391 restricted shares of common stock to 5 accredited investors for total cash consideration of $417,900. None of the issuances involved a general solicitation.
 
On September 9, 2019, the Company, relying upon Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, issued 125,000 restricted shares of common stock to an investor upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
