Item 1. Business

 

Historical background

 

Target Group Inc. (formerly known as Chess Supersite Corporation) (“Target Group” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 2, 2013, under our original name of River Run Acquisition Corporation. On May 5, 2014, we issued 500,000 shares of common stock to Rubin Schindermann and 500,000 shares of Common Stock to Alexander Starr. With the issuance of these shares and the redemption of 19,500,000 shares of common stock issued to our original officers, directors and shareholders, we effected a change of control. Mr. Schindermann and Mr. Starr became our new officers and directors. They accepted the resignations of our original founding officers and directors. Effective May 13, 2014, the Company changed its name to Chess Supersite Corporation.

 

On July 23, 2014, we acquired certain assets (“Acquisition”) of Chess Supersite, Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario, Canada (“Chess Canada”). The Acquisition was consummated pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Chess Canada. In the Acquisition, we acquired all right, title and interest in and to the properties, assets, interests and rights of Chess Canada, including the contracts and intellectual property which are related to the business of developing, operating and maintaining a website focused on the game of chess. Chess Supersite, Inc. is under the common control of Rubin Schindermann and Alexander Starr.

 

Our original business comprised the operation of an extensive chess gaming website under the name ChessStars™. This comprehensive user friendlyuser-friendly web sitewww.chessstars.com, offered a state-of-the-art playing zone, broadcasts of the major tournaments, intuitive mega database, chess skilled contests and much more.

 

On July 3, 2018, we filed an amendment in our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Target Group Inc. Effective October 18, 2018, our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTCQB platform operated by OTC Markets Group Inc, under the symbol “CBDY”.

 

Effective December 12, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the termination of our ChessStars™ online chess playing platform effective December 31, 2018. We will seek to sell all of the assets that comprise the ChessStars™ business. to a third-party buyer at the best possible price.

 

Cannabis Business-Canada

 

We are now engaged in the cultivation, processing and distribution of curated cannabis products for the adult-use medical and recreational cannabis market in Canada and, where legalized by state legislation, in the United States. We believe that there is a shift in the public’s perception of cannabis from a state of prohibition to a state of legalization. In October 2018, Canada became the first major industrialized nation to legalize adult-use cannabis at the national federal level. Cannabis is still heavily regulated. However, the medical use of cannabis is now permitted in up to 29 countries and many more countries have reformed, or are considering reforming, their cannabis uses laws to include the recreational use of cannabis.

 

In the 2016 publication by Deloitte, Insights and Opportunities Recreational Marijuana, the project size of the Canadian adult-use market ranged from CDN$4.9 billion to CDN$8.7 billion annually. IonIn the 2018 publication by Deloitte, A Society in Transition, an Industry Ready to Boom, the projected size of the Canadian adult-use market in 2019 ranged from CDN$1.8 billion to CDN$4.3 billion. The Canadian medical cannabis industry experienced substantial growth since 2014. Health Canada projects the Canadian cannabis market will reach CDN$1.3 billion in annual value by 2024.

We intend to position ourselves with a core emphasis on co-packaging services to accommodate all consumer-packaged goods required for the sophisticated cannabis market in Canada and internationally. This will integrate cannabinoid research, analytical testing, product development and manufacturing.

 

Our product manufacturing will include, but will not be limited to the following:

 

·Cannabis flower pods for vaporizer use
·Cannabis extract pods for vaporizer use
·Cannabis pre-rolls
·K-Cup infused coffee and tea pods
·Infused cannabis beverages
·Infused cannabis edibles
·Infused topical products and CBD wellness products.

 

Recent Acquisitions

 

To take advantage of the opportunity resulting from the legalization of adult-use cannabis in Canada, we completed several strategic acquisitions and entered into several significant agreements as follows:

 

Visava Inc./Canary Rx Inc.

 

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Visava Inc., a private Ontario, Canada corporation(“Visava”).Visava owns 100% of Canary Rx Inc., (“Canary”), a Canadian corporation that operates a 44,000 square foot facility located in Ontario’s Garden Norfolk County for the production of cannabis. Canary is a late stage Canadian licensed cannabis producer under Health Canada’s Cannabis Act (“Bill C-45”). Canary expects to produce at least 3,600,000 grams of cannabis per year, beginning in the third quarter of 2019.2020.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to the Visava shareholders an aggregate of 25,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock held by the Visava shareholders. In addition of its Common Stock, the Company issued to the Visava shareholders, prorata Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share of $0.10 for a period of two years following the issuance date of the Warrants. The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement closed effective August 2, 2018. Visava will continue its business operations as a first-tier wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with Canary operating as our second-tier subsidiary.

 

Effective December 6, 2018, the Company and Canary entered into a Distribution, Collaboration and Licensing Agreement(“Agreement”)with Serious Seeds B.V.(“Serious Seeds”), incorporated in the Netherlands, and Simon Smit(“Smit”), President of Serious Seeds. Under the Agreement, Canary was appointed the exclusive distributor in Canada and all other legal markets globally of Serious’ proprietary cannabis seed strains and Serious’ cannabis cuttings, dried flowers, extracts and seeds. In addition, under the Agreement Canary Rx and Serious will develop certain “Collaborative Products” defined as cannabis seed strains created collaboratively using Serious’ intellectual property. During the term of the Agreement, Canary will own all of the intellectual property related to the Collaborative Products.

 

Under the Agreement, Smit has granted Canary an exclusive license in Canada and all legal markets globally to Serious’ intellectual property including the right to use the service mark of Serious Seeds and all of the names of Serious’ proprietary cannabis seed strains including but not limited to Chronic, AK-47, White Russian, Bubble Gum, Kali Mist, Warlock, Double Dutch, Biddy, Early, Motavation and Strawberry-AKeilStrawberry-AKeil.

 

The initial term of the Agreement will be five (5) years and will be automatically renewed for consecutive five (5) terms subject to rights of termination upon one hundred and eighty (180) days prior notice. In consideration of the intellectual property rights granted by Smit to Canary, the Company will issue to Smit 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, beginning on the 13th month following the effective date of the Agreement and continuing through the sixtieth month of the initial term, the Company will issue to Smit each month 5,208.33335,208 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Target common stock at $0.15 per share. In addition, Smit will be issued warrants in each of the foregoing months to purchase 16,666.666716,667 shares of Target common stock at varying exercise prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.35 per share. All of the warrants must be exercised on or before the two (2) year anniversary date of each of the warrant issuance dates.

In consideration of Canary Rx’s appointment as Serious’ exclusive distributor in Canada, Canary Rx will pay Serious certain royalties as follows:

 

11st year:2.00% of gross sales
22nd year:2.25% of gross sales
33rd year:2.50% of gross sales

These Standard Licenses enable Canary to produce approximately 3,600kg of dried cannabis flower per year. Canary has curated a bank of 3,500 seeds, comprised of more than 125 strains, including the entire Serious Seeds collection. The Company has the capacity to grow 8 different strains at a time, within the facility’s 8 separate flower rooms.

 

Cannavolve Inc. Sales Agency Agreement

 

Effective December 13, 2018, the Company appointed Cannavolve Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation based in Toronto(Cannavolve”), under the terms of a Licensed Producer/Licensed Processor Sales Agency Agreement(“Agency Agreement”), as the Company’s exclusive agent in Canada to market and sell the CannaKorp Wisp™ vaporizer, the Serious Seeds™ products and Canary branded cannabis in the recreational cannabis markets(collectively the“Products).

Nabis Holding Sales Agreement

Effective September 17, 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, CannaKorp Inc.(“CannaKorp”), entered into a Purchase, Licensing and Distribution Agreement(“Agreement”) with Nabis Arizona Property LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona(“Nabis”)concerning the distribution of CannaKorp’sWispVaporizer andWisp™ Pods in Arizona. The term of the Agreement is three (3) years with automatic renewals for additional one-year periods unless the Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms. Nabis is required to pay CannaKorp $45,000 for the equipment needed to manufacture theWISP™ Pods, of which $4,500 will be paid within three (3) calendar days of Nabis obtaining regulatory approval of its vertically integrated license and the balance of $40,500 within 180 days of the effective date of the Agreement.

Under the Agreement, Nabis is licensed to manufacture theWISP™ Pods and to sell theWISP™ Podsin conjunction with the sale of theWISP™ Vaporizer. Nabis is required to meet minimum quarterly orders of two hundred (200)WISP™ Vaporizers and five thousand (5,000)WISP™ Podscartridges. Nabis is licensed to sell theWISP™ Vaporizer and theWISP™ Pods to end users in Arizona, excluding Amazon, eBay, Walmart or other multistate/national brick and mortar or online sales. CannaKorp has granted Nabis a right of first refusal to obtain an exclusive license in Michigan and in Washington for the same rights granted to Nabis in Arizona.

As of the date of this report, the equipment to Nabis has been shipped and the 180 days mark has not passed. Once when it does, we will invoice Nabis. Additionally, the first quarter of the Nabis agreement minimums were shipped and invoiced (200 Wisp Units and 5000 Pod Assemblies to enable Nabis to manufacture 5000 complete Wisp Pods) for online and retail distribution in the Arizona Market. Nabis has had delays in rolling out all the products for which they have exclusive licenses with, and we expect their next order will likely be in the next 45 to 60 days.

 

Item 1A Risk Factors.

 

In addition to all other information set out in this Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report, our business is subject to a number of risks that are uniquely applicable to the cannabis business generally and specifically in the cannabis business in Canada. Other risks and uncertainties that we do not presently consider material, or of which we are not presently aware, may become important factors that affect our future financial condition and results of operations. Some of these risks include but are not limited to the developing situation globally surrounding COVID-19 and its impacts on the overall global economy. If any of the risks discussed below actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially affected.

Risks Related to Our Cannabis Business and the Cannabis Industry in the United States

 

Our proposed business is dependent on laws pertaining to the marijuana industry

 

Continued development of the marijuana industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization and/or voter approved referenda at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or halt progress in this area. In addition, progress for the industry, while encouraging, is not assured. While there may be ample public support for legislative action, numerous factors impact the legislative process, any one of which could slow or halt the use of marijuana, which could negatively impact our business.

 

Cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law.

 

The possession and use of marijuana is illegal under U.S. federal and certain states’ laws, which may negatively impact our business. Use of marijuana is regulated by both the U.S. federal government and state governments and state and U.S. federal laws regarding marijuana are often in conflict. Federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana pre-empts state laws that legalize the possession and use of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes. The Trump Administration has made statements indicating that the Trump Administration intends to take a harsher stance on federal marijuana laws. Any such changes in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could adversely affect our ability to possess or cultivate marijuana. Marijuana is a Schedule 1 controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act (“CSA”) meaning that it has a high potential for abuse, has no currently “accepted medical use” in the United States, lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and may not be prescribed, marketed or sold in the United States. No drug product containing natural cannabis or naturally-derived cannabis extracts have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the U.S. or obtained registration from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) for commercial production and the DEA may never issue the registrations required of the commercialization of such products. We will continue to assess potential strategic acquisitions of existing or new businesses in the cannabis industry, should we determine that such activities are in our best interests and in best interests of our stockholders. Any such pursuit would involve additional risks with respect to the regulation of cannabis, particularly, if the federal government determines to actively enforce all federal laws applicable to cannabis.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally effect are business.

 

Local, state and federal marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which require us to incur potentially substantial costs associated with compliance and could alter our business plans. In addition, violations of these laws or allegations of such violations could disrupt our business and materially affect our operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business. We cannot predict the nature of any such future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

   

7

Any potential growth in the cannabis industry continues to be subject to new and changing state and local laws and regulations.

 

Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent upon continue legalization of cannabis at the state level and a number of factors could curtail or halt progress in this area, even where there is public support for legislative action. Any delay or halt in the passing or implementation of legislation legalizing cannabis use, or its sale and distribution, or the re-criminalization or restrictions on cannabis use at the state level could negatively impact our business. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws and regulations or their interpretations or applications. It is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be materially adverse to our business.

 

7

Our potential customers, clients and companies with which we may elect to invest directly may have difficulty accessing the services of U.S. banks which may make it difficult for them to operate.

 

On February 14, 2014, the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen”(“FinCen”) issued rules allowing banks to legally provide financial services to state-licensed cannabis businesses consistent with the Bank Secrecy Act obligations. A memorandum issued by the U.S. Justice Department to federal prosecutors reiterated the guidance previously given, this time to the financial industry that banks can do business with legal marijuana businesses and “may not” be prosecuted. However, the FinCen guidelines fall short of the explicit legal authorization that the banking industry had requested the government provide. To date, it is not clear if any banks have relied on the FinCen guidelines to take on legal cannabis companies as clients. Because the use, sale and distribution of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law, many banks will not accept deposits from or provide other bank services to business involved with cannabis. The inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for our existing and potential customers to operate.

 

Operational risks of the cannabis industry.

 

Companies involved in the cannabis industry face intense competition, may have limited access to services of banks, may have substantial burdens on company resources due to litigation, complaints or enforcement actions and are heavily dependent on receiving necessary permits and authorization to engage in the cultivation, possession or distribution of cannabis. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operational histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger client bases than us and there can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully compete against these or other companies.

 

Risks Related to Our Cannabis Business and the Cannabis Industry in Canada

 

The effects of the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada is unknown at this time.

 

The Government of Canada approved the Cannabis Act (Bill C-45) which went into effect on October 17, 2018. The Cannabis Act allows for regulated and restricted access to cannabis for recreational adult-use in Canada. Under the Cannabis Act, there are significant restrictions on the marketing, branding, product formats and distribution channels allowed under the law. Additional restrictions may be imposed at the provincial level. Any failure by us to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements at the federal and provincial level could require changes to our proposed operations; result in regulatory or agency proceedings or investigations, increase compliance costs, fines, penalties or restrictions on our operations or revocation of our licenses and other permits.

 

The recreational adult-use cannabis market in Canada may become over supplied following the implementation of the Cannabis Act.

 

As a result in the surge of demand for cannabis as a result of the implementation of the Cannabis Act, we and other cannabis producers in Canada may produce more cannabis that is needed to satisfy the market and we may not be able to export that oversupply into other markets where cannabis use is fully legal under all federal, state and provincial laws The available supply of cannabis could exceed demand, resulting in a decline in the market price for cannabis. If this were to occur, there is no assurance that we would be able to generate sufficient revenue to result in profitability.

 

We are required to comply with federal, state or provincial and local laws in each jurisdiction where we conduct our business

 

Various federal, state or provincial and local laws and regulations govern our business in the jurisdictions in which we operate and propose to operate. These laws and regulations include those relating to health and safety and the production, management, transportation and storage of cannabis. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires concurrent compliance with complex federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires significant financial and managerial resources. A determination that we are not in compliance with these laws and regulations could harm our business. It is impossible to predict the cost or effect of such laws and regulations on our current and future business.

 

 8 

 

 

We may seek to enter into strategic alliances or acquisitions with third parties that we believe will have a beneficial impact on our business and there are risks that such alliances or acquisitions will not enhance our business in the desired manner.

 

We may expand, or in the future enter into, alliances or acquisitions with third parties that we believe will complement or enhance our existing business. Our ability to take advantage of existing or new alliances or acquisitions is dependent upon a number of factors such as the availability of suitable candidates and working capital. Future strategic alliances or acquisitions could result in the incurrence of debt, costs and contingent liabilities. In addition, there can be no assurances that future alliances or acquisitions will achieve the expected benefits to our business or that we will be able to consummate future strategic alliances or acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or at all.

 

We may not be able to identify and execute future acquisitions or to successfully manage the impact of such transactions on our business.

 

Acquisitions and/or other strategic business combinations involve many risks including (i) disruption of our existing business; (ii) the distraction of management away from the ongoing oversight of our existing business operations; (iii) incurring additional indebtedness; and (iv) increasing the scope and complexity of our operations. A strategic transaction may result in unforeseen obstacles or costs in implementing the transaction or integrating any acquired business into our existing operations.

 

Our cannabis cultivation business is subject to risks associated with an agricultural business.

 

One of the major aspects of our business operations is cultivating cannabis which is an agricultural process. As such, that part of our business is subject to the risks associated with the agricultural business, including crop failure presented by weather, plant diseases, and similar agricultural risks. Although we will grow our cannabis products indoors under climate controlledclimate-controlled conditions, there can be no assurances that natural elements, such as insects and plant diseases, will not disrupt our production activities or have an adverse effect on our business.

 

We may not be able to attract or retain key personnel with sufficient experience in the cannabis industry and we may not be able to attract, develop and retain additional employees required for our development and future success.

 

Our success is dependent to a great extent on the performance of our management team and certain key employees and our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees who are in high demand. The loss of the services of any key personnel, or an inability to attract other suitably qualified persons when needed, could prevent us from executing our business plan and we may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, if at all. Currently, we do not maintain any key-person insurance on the lives of any of our key personnel. Furthermore, each director and officer of a company that holds a license is subject to the requirement to obtain and maintain a security clearance from Canada Health under the Cannabis Act. A security clearance is valid for not more than five years and must be renewed before the expiration of a current security clearance. There is no assurance that any of our existing personnel who presently or may in the future require a security clearance will be able to obtain or renew such clearance or that new personnel who require a security clearance be able to obtain one. A failure by an individual in a key operational position to maintain or renew a security clearance could result in a reduction or complete suspension of our operations.

Our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, known as the Penny Stock Rule which imposes requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”) also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system. The Penny Stock Rules requires a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. These disclosure requirements have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result of these rules, investors may find it difficult to sell their shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Target Group Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Target Group Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018,2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018,2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has generated minimal revenue since inception and has significant recurring operating losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the auditaudits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our auditsaudit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.2017

Nabis has had delays in rolling out all the products for which they have exclusive licenses with, and the Company expects their next order will likely be in the next 45 to 60 days.

2.2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

 

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.subsidiary, Visava Inc. and CannaKorp, Inc. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

3.3.GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has minimal revenue since inception to date and has sustained operating losses during the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The Company had working capital deficit of $2,877,445$4,922,069 and an accumulated deficit of $9,094,954$19,462,624 as of December 31, 2018.2019. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations, sale of its equity or issuance of debt. However, the Company currently has no commitments from any third parties for the purchase of its equity. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.

 

4.4.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

 F-8 

 

 

CASH

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have cash equivalents as of December 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due to the Company from customers as a result of the Company’s normal business activities. Accounts receivable is reported on the balance sheets net of an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible receivables based on historical experience, assessment of specific risk, review of outstanding invoices, and various assumptions and estimates that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and recognizes the provision as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance after appropriate collection efforts have been exhausted and when it is deemed that a balance is uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019, the Company expects to collect these balances completely and therefore has not created any allowance for it.

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a weighted average cost basis, and market being determined as the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company records write-downs of inventory that is obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or market value based on consideration of product lifecycle stage, technology trends, product development plans and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand, and such differences may have a material effect on recorded inventory values. Inventory write-downs are charged to cost of revenue and establish a new cost basis for the inventory. The cost is determined on the basis of the average cost or first-in, first-out methods.

 

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not being amortized, such as trade names, are tested at least annually for impairment and are written down if impaired. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable. The intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized over its estimated useful lives of 5 years using the straight-line method.

The Company operated an online chess site featuring sophisticated playing zones, game broadcasts with software analyses and top analysts' commentaries, education and other chess oriented resources. Intangible assets represented the amount incurred by the Company related to the development of the online chess gaming website.

Under ASC 985-20, there are two main stages of software development. These stages are defined as:

(A) When the technological feasibility is established, and

(B) When the product is available for general release to customers.

Costs incurred by the Company up to stage A have been expensed while costs incurred to move from stage A to stage B have been capitalized.

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of the infinite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the intangible asset was written off based on management’s review and evaluation of its recoverability.

With respect to goodwill, during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company has identified no circumstances which would call for further evaluation of goodwill impairment.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) for the year. In translating the consolidated financial statements of the Company’sCompany and its Canadian subsidiaries from their functional currency into the Company’s reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

 

The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the application is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of 5 years starting from when the application is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

 

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company haddid not have a cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of December 31, 2018.2019 (December 31, 2018: The Company had excess cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit).

 

INCOME TAXES

 

Under ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2018,2019, there were no deferred taxes due to the uncertainty of the realization of net operating loss or carry forward prior to expiration.

 

OPERATING LEASES

 

The Company leases office space and the production facility under operating lease agreements. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.

 

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the entity. Convertible promissory notes, warrants and preferred stock as at December 31, 20182019 are likely to be converted into shares of common stock, however, due to losses, their effect would be antidilutive. As of December 31, 2018,2019, convertible notes, warrants and preferred stock warrants outstanding could be converted into 9,125,00227,535,127 (2018: 9,125,002), 412,654,530 (2018: 88,094,634) and 100,000,000 (2018: 100,000,000) shares of common stock.stock, respectively.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11 to account for the down round features of warrants issued with private placements effective as of January 1, 2017. In doing so, warrants with a down round feature previously treated as derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value are henceforth treated as equity, with no adjustment for changes in fair value at each reporting period. The Company accounted for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40. The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.

 

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for stock based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the guidelines in ASC 505-50. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.

  

MARKETING EXPENSES

 

Marketing and advertising expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset or asset group, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

F-11

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

F-11

  

The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The derivative liabilities of the promissory convertible notes are valued Level 3, refer to Note 15 for further details.

 

5.5.RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The Company qualifies as an Emerging Growth Company (EGC) and“emerging growth company” (CGC) under the 2012 JOBS Act. 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. As an emerging growth company, management can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The management has elected to take advantage of the deferral period for all new standards.benefits of this extended transition period.

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

 

In November 2016, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update the guidance related to the presentation of restricted cash. Under this Update, the amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the balance sheet and/or statement of operations.

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU require that the company apply modification accounting when the company changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They became effective for public business entities in the annual period ending after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the balance sheet and/or statement of operations.

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).

I.Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features

 

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

 

The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments.

 

The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

 

The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. Part I becomes effective for public business entities in the annual period ending after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. Management does not expect to have a significant impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will be evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a modified retrospective basis.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to clarify how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires entities to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the combined statement of cash flows. This guidance was adopted on a retrospective basis, and such adoption did not have a material impact on consolidated balance sheet and/or statement of operations

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance revises the accounting related to leases by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.statements and will have material impact in the first quarter of year ending December 31, 2020.

Business Acquisition

 

ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, such as trade names, but instead tested at least annually for impairment (which the Company tests each year end, absent any impairment indicators) and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.

CannaKorp Inc.

Effective January 25, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with CannaKorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CannaKorp”). Company had previously entered into a Letter of Intent with CannaKorp dated November 30, 2018 which was disclosed in the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed December 4, 2018.

The Exchange Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, the Company issued to the CannaKorp shareholders an aggregate of 30,407,412 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on a price per share of $0.10, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of CannaKorp held by the CannaKorp shareholders. In addition, the Company will issue Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”) in exchange for all outstanding and promised CannaKorp stock options. The Warrants will grant the holders thereof the right to purchase up to approximately 7,211,213 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company will also assume all outstanding liabilities of CannaKorp. Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, CannaKorp will continue its business operations as a subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was closed effective March 1, 2019.

Due to the publicly traded nature of the Company’s shares of the common stock, the equity issuance of the shares was considered to be a more reliable measurement of fair market value of the transaction compared to having a separate valuation of the net assets.

This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of assets, liabilities and intangible assets and the purchase price allocation as of March 1, 2019 was as follows:

·Volatility at 635.49%
·Risk free interest rate of 2.55%;
·Expected life of 2 years; and
·Expected dividend rate of 0%

During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the goodwill was revaluated after the completion of CannaKorp’s audit of the year ended December 31, 2018. This resulted in changing the balance on acquisition date, March 1, 2019 thereby increasing the goodwill by $369,315 to $6,071,627.

During the year ended, December 31, 2019, the Company identified circumstances which would call for evaluation of goodwill impairment and therefore impaired $1,485,925 reducing the goodwill related to the CannaKorp to $4,585,702.

As at December 31, 2019, there were 8,724,327 (2018: nil) warrants outstanding, fully vested and with a remaining contractual life term of 1.16 years (2018: nil).

Visava Inc./Canary Rx Inc.

 

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Visava Inc., a private Ontario, Canada corporation (“Visava”). Visava owns 100% of Canary Rx Inc., a Canadian corporation that holds a leasehold interest in a parcel of property located in Ontario’s Garden Norfolk County for the production of cannabis.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Visava Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 25,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and will issue to the Visava shareholders, prorata Common Stock Purchase Warrants purchasing an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share of $0.10 for a period of two years following the issuance date of the Warrants. As a result of this transaction, Visava Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the former shareholders of Visava Inc. owned approximately 46.27% of the Company’s shares of Common Stock. The transaction was closed effective August 2, 2018.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company has identified no circumstances which would call for further evaluation of goodwill impairment related to Canary.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. In assessing whether goodwill is impaired, the Company utilize the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to statement of operations.

Deferred tax assets

 

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

 

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31:

 

  2018  2017 
Tax effect of NOL Carryover $563,454  $452,343 
Cumulative change due to reduced rate      (156,117)

Tax effect of NOL Carryover $2,047,257  $563,454 
Less valuation allowance  (2,047,257)  (563,454)
       

 

At December 31, 2018,2019, the Company performed a comprehensive analysis of its tax estimates and revised comparative figures accordingly, which had no net impact on deferred tax recorded.

There were no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure for the period covered by this report.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 COSO Framework or COSO). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018.2019. Management identified segregation of duties & maintenance of current accounting records as material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management is in the continuous process of improving the internal control over financial reporting by engaging a Certified Public Accountant as a consultant to mitigate some of the identified weaknesses. The Company is still in its development stage and intends on bringing in necessary resources to address the weaknesses once full operations have commenced. Management concludes that internal control over financial reporting is ineffective at December 31, 2018.2019.
