Management believes that it will require additional capital, in addition to
anticipated revenues from operations to fund expansion of the Company's
operations and ultimately achieve profitability. The Company intends to seek
such additional capital from further private offerings of equity and/or debt
securities. However, we may not be successful in raising additional capital on
commercially reasonable terms, if and when needed, in which case our business,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be materially and
adversely affected.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The following are deemed to be the most significant accounting estimates
affecting us and our results of operations:
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts
with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the
commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform
pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a
customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3)
determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each
performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each
performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has
not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 - Revenue
Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria
are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance
of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the
amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the
collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
To confirm, all of our OLCC licensed cannabis retail sales operations are
conducted and operated on a "cash and carry" basis- product(s) from our
inventory accounts are sold to the customer(s) and the customer settles the
account at time of receipt of product via cash payment at our retail store; the
transaction is recorded at the time of sale in our point of sale software
system. Revenue is only reported after product has been delivered to the
customer and the customer has paid for the product with cash.
To date the only other revenue we have received is for ATM transactions and
revenue from this activity is only reported after we receive payment via check
from the ATM service provider company.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820. This Topic defines fair value,
establishes a measurement framework and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. We apply these provisions to estimate the fair value of our
financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and
notes payable.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for
Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes. Our deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future
tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of
assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income
tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities
from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax
regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of
future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax
regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning
strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and
liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to
deferred tax assets based on the "more likely than not" criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit
of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would
more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions
meeting the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount recognized in the
financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax
authority.
We are subject to certain tax risks and treatments that could negatively impact
our results of operations
Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, prohibits businesses from
deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking controlled substances
(within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act). The
IRS has invoked Section 280E in tax audits against various cannabis businesses
in the U.S. that are permitted under applicable state laws. Although the IRS
issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of
such items is interpreted very narrowly and the bulk of operating costs and
general administrative costs are not permitted to be deducted. While there are
currently several pending cases before various administrative and federal courts
challenging these restrictions, there is no guarantee that these courts will
issue an interpretation of Section 280E favorable to cannabis businesses.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded a provision for income taxes in the amount of $782,107 during the
year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $0 during the year ended December 31,
2020. Although we have net operating losses that we believe are available to us
to offset this entire tax liability, which arises under Section 280E of the Code
because we are a cannabis company, as a conservative measure, we have accrued
this liability.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other
standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified
effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the effect
of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material
effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon
adoption.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU
2016-02). Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information
about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance
for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors
are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing
arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount,
timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies,
the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified
retrospective method. The new standard provides a number of optional practical
expedients in transition. The Company elected the package of practical
expedients', which permitted the Company not to reassess under the new standard
its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and
initial direct costs; and all of the new standard's available transition
practical expedients. On adoption, the Company recognized a right of use asset
of $638,593, operating lease liabilities of $638,593, based on the present value
of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for its
existing operating lease. The new standard also provides practical expedients
for a company's ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease
recognition exemption for its leases. For those leases with a lease term of 12
months or less, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260);
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging
(Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down
Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily
Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain
Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception" to
simply the accounting for certain instruments with down round features. The
amendments require companies to disregard the down round feature when assessing
whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining
liability or equity classification. Further, companies that provide earnings per
share ("EPS") data will adjust the basic EPS calculation for the effect of the
feature when triggered and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within
equity. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1,
2019 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
37
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic
820)." This standard modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value
measurement and is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those There are no other recently issued accounting
pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a
material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.
Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific
disclosure requirement. The standard also allows for early adoption of any
removed or modified disclosures upon issuance while delaying adoption of the
additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting
for Income Taxes (Topic 740)". This standard simplifies the accounting for
income taxes. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early
adoption is permitted for all entities, The Company is currently assessing the
impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely
to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
