Operational highlights: ? 260 acres of farmland for the purpose of cultivating additional marijuana (the "260 Acres") purchased in January of 2019. The Company intends to utilize the state-of-the-art Cravo® cultivation system for growing an additional five acres of marijuana on this property. The Cravo® system will allow multiple harvests per year and should result in higher annual yields per acre. The land has more than 180-acre feet of permitted water rights, which will provide more than sufficient water to markedly increase the Company's marijuana cultivation capabilities. This facility, upon receipt of its business license inNye County and its final inspection by the Cannabis Compliance Board ("CCB"), is expected to become operational in the summer of 2022. During the year endedDecember 31, 2021 , the Company elected to relocate all of its equipment utilized on the Acres lease to its 260 Acres adjacent to the Acres lease. The Company will utilize the 260 Acres for its own harvest along with additional harvests under any Cultivation and Sales Agreements. ? Cultivation and Sales Agreements entered into for multiple grows on the Company's 260 Acres located in theAmargosa Valley ofNevada . During the year endedDecember 31, 2021 , the Company entered into separate Cultivation and Sales Agreements, whereby the Company shall retain certain independent growers to provide oversight and management of the Company's cultivation and sale of products at its 260 Acres. The independent growers shall pay to the Company a royalty of net sales revenue with a minimum royalty after two years. As of the date of this filing, the Company is waiting on its business license inNye County and its final inspection by the Cannabis Compliance Board before it can commence its operations under the Agreement. ? a nearby commercial trailer and RV park (THC Park -Tiny Home Community ) was purchased in April of 2019 to supply necessary housing for the Company's farm employees. After the Company's 2018 harvest, it came to realize that it would need to find a more efficient method of housing and to bring its cultivation team to its facilities. The Company purchased the 50-acre plusTHC Park for$600,000 in cash and$50,000 of the Company's restricted common stock. At present, the Company's construction and completion of this community is approximately seventy-five present complete. The impact of COVID-19 in obtaining inspections and permitting has significantly delayed the completion of this community. The Company has elected to cease any renovations or additions at itsTiny Home Community but will continue to rent out those units that have been leased. 31 ? an agreement to acquire a cultivation license and production license, both currently located inNye County Nevada .

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations is based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
On
34 Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurred as a component of income tax expense. The Company has not recognized any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
