Company Overview
We plan to be a producer of raw cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. We have received licenses from Colombian regulators to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, we are one of the first companies in Colombia to receive licenses for seed, cultivation, extraction and export from the Colombian government (the “Licenses”).government.
We planted our first crop of cannabis in Popayan, Colombia in 2018, and began initial harvesting in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities and quality control testing of the cannabis we have produced. We intend to commencecommenced limited shipping of non-psychoactive products to customers in the first quarterMay of 2020. Although we hold the four Colombian Licenses, we will need to obtain additional approvals from Colombian regulators before we can fully execute our business plan, particularly with respect to the sale psychoactive products.
Our first cultivation and extraction sites aresite is located in Popayan, Colombia.Colombia and our extraction facility will be located in the outskirts of Bogota, Colombia, in the town of Funza. Our cultivation facility encompasses approximately 30 acres and includes a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, we have entered into agreements with local farming co-operatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis.
We employ modern propagation and cultivation techniques drawn from U.S. practices that allow us to rapidly multiply the cells of a specific plant strain to produce large numbers of genetically consistent progeny plants using our own plant tissue culture method. We believe this technique allows us to cultivate plants which are stable, robust and able to produce genetically superior cannabis and hemp derived products. We intend to have our processes and products certified as compliant with international standards, including Good Agricultural Practices (“GAP”), Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) and the standards set forth in EU Pharmacopoeia, a publication that sets forth quality standards applicable to the European pharmaceutical industry.
We intend to build additionalcurrently have 120,000 square feet of covered greenhouse capacity, in excess of 1 millionwhich we intend to increase to 160,000 square feet. We are building out our extraction and production facility and expect it to be operational before the end of 2019. 2022. From August 2021 through March 2022, we made payments of approximately $1,400,000 for the purchase of a state of the art distillation machine that we expect to be placed in service within our vertically integrated extraction facility during the third quarter of 2022. Once the equipment is placed in service, we will be one of the only companies in Colombia to both hold licenses and possess the capability to extract high-quality CBD and THC oils. In addition, we have a contractual relationship with a local co-operative under which they agree to assist us in cultivation at our facility.
We have received approval fromOn June 3, 2020, Isiah L. Thomas III was appointed to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Thomas was a 12-time NBA All Star, two-time NBA champion, and is an accomplished international business executive. In 2021, through ISIAH International, LLC, of which he is the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (the “ICA”) to begin cultivating 13 proprietary high THC cannabis strains and 2 high CBD strains. We have also received approval to grow 68 mother plants to begin this characterization process, which we have commenced. If we are successful in this process, the strains will be entered in the ICA cultivar registry. Only registered strains may be sold under Colombian law.
We believe there is a large and growing market for cannabis and hemp products around the world. The market for CBD has shown particular demand and growth. We will pursue sales into this market using a direct sales force to establish direct customer relationships and distributor relationships. We will seek out customers who have large and recurring needs and demands. Countries that we intend to focus on include EU countries, the UK, Poland, Israel, and Canada.
We expect to commence limited shipping of non-psychoactive products to customers in the first quarter of 2020. However, we are subject to numerous risks that may delay the date of first sale, including regulatory requirements imposed or that may in the future be imposed by the Colombian regulating authorities. In addition, we will need to obtain quota approval from Colombian regulators before making we can make salessole member, Mr. Thomas purchased $3,000,000 of our psychoactive products.Series B Preferred Stock in installments over a period of time ending in July 2021.

If any of these or other risks actually occurs, our business may be adversely affected, the trading price of our common securities may decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.mentioned above.
Risks Relating to our BusinessCompany
Limited Operating History
We are an early stage company that has not generated anyminimal revenues and, we have a limited operating history upon which our business and future prospects may be evaluated. To date, we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $4,608,726 as of June 30, 2019. We will beare subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that we will not achieve our operating goals. In order for us to meet future operating requirements, we will need to successfully grow, harvest and sell our cannabis products. Until such time as we are able to fund our business from operations, we will be required to raise funds through various sources, including the sale of equity and debt securities, Failure to generate cash from operations and to reach profitability may adversely affect our success.
We have had a history of losses, we expect losses in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will become profitable in the future.
We have experienced operating losses on an on-going basis. For the six months ended June 30, 20202, and our fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred net losses of $1,300,996, $3,784,562 and $7,965,160, respectively. As of such dates, we had accumulated deficits of $22,217,884, $19,916,888 and $16,132,326, respectively. We expect our losses to continue for the foreseeable future. These continuing losses may be greater than current levels. If our revenues do not increase substantially or if our expenses exceed our expectations, we may never become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
Our auditor has given us a “going concern” qualification, which questions our ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing.
Our independent certified public accountant has added an emphasis paragraph to its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Key to this determination is our recurring net losses, an accumulated deficit, and a working capital deficiency. In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would conserve cash by further reducing expenses. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds, our ability to carry out and implement our planned business objectives and strategies will be significantly delayed, limited or may not occur. We cannot guarantee that we will become profitable.
Change of Cannabis Laws, Regulations and Guidelines
Cannabis laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to evolving interpretations which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. Regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to certain aspects of our businesses. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business. Management expects that the legislative and regulatory environment in the cannabis industry in Colombia and internationally will continue to be dynamic and will require innovative solutions to try to comply with this changing legal landscape in this nascent industry for the foreseeable future. Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Public opinion can also exert a significant influence over the regulation of the cannabis industry. A negative shift in the public’s perception of the cannabis industry could affect future legislation or regulation in different jurisdictions.
4 |
Reliance on Colombian Licenses, Authorizations and Quotas
Our ability to import seeds, grow, store and sell cannabis and hemp in Colombia or internationally is dependent on our ability to sustain and/or obtain the necessary licenses and authorizations by certain authorities in Colombia and/or the importing jurisdiction. The licenses and authorizations are subject to ongoing compliance and reporting requirements and our ability to obtain, sustain or renew any such licenses and authorizations on acceptable terms is subject to changes in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable authorities or other governmental agencies in foreign jurisdictions. Failure to comply with the requirements of the licenses or authorizations or any failure to maintain the licenses or authorizations would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, Colombian regulators limit the cultivation and sale of psychoactive cannabis by Quotas issued on an annual basis to licensed producers.
Although we believe that we will meet the requirements to obtain, sustain or renew the necessary licenses and authorizations, there can be no guarantee that the applicable authorities will issue these licenses or authorizations. In addition, to date we have not been issued Quotas that would allow us to commence the commercial sale of psychoactive cannabis products. Should the authorities fail to issue the necessary licenses or authorizations, including required Quotas, we may be curtailed or prohibited from the production and/or distribution of cannabis and hemp or from proceeding with the development of our operations as currently proposed and our business, financial condition and results of the operation may be materially adversely affected.
Regulatory Compliance Risks
Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by applicable governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the sale of our products in Colombia and other jurisdictions where we intend to distribute and sell our products. We will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to regulatory compliance. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Civil or criminal fines or penalties may be imposed on us for violations of applicable laws or regulations. Vigorous enforcement of these laws could require extensive changes to our operations, increase our compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Competition
There are many companies engaged in the cannabis business who we will compete with, including larger and more established companies with substantially greater marketing, financial, human and other resources than we have. These companies include PharmaCielo, CannaVida, Empresa Colombiana de Cannabis, Khiron Life Sciences Corp., MedCan, Canopy Growth Corporation, and Clever Leaves. Although we believe we are competitively positioned to be a leader in the medicinal cannabis industry given our early entry into the market, the management team’s expertise in medical product branding, marketing, quality control, and market relationships, competition in the medical cannabis industry is growing quickly. As more competitors enter the market, prices may be reduced. We believe our approach in creating brand loyalty will allow us to effectively compete in the market but there is no assurance that will be the case, and our competitors may adopt a similar or identical approach. To date, we have obtained four licenses in Colombia that authorize us to engage in cannabis activities, and there are currently few authorized producers there. However, Colombia offers an open process to apply for licenses and there are no significant barriers to entry. As a result, our ability to generate revenues and earnings may be reduced as competition intensifies, thereby causing a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Ability to Establish and Maintain Bank Accounts
Many banking institutions in countries where we or our prospective customers operate will not accept payments related to the cannabis industry, whether owing to domestic laws and regulations or pressure exerted by the United States on banks with laws subject to the laws of the United States (including, the Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act)). Failure to conduct our business through normal banking channels may impede our ability to make payments for goods and services and transact business in the ordinary course. Failure to operate in normal banking channels may also increase our cost of doing business and negatively affect our business. In the event financial service providers do not accept accounts or transactions related to the cannabis industry, it is possible that we may be required to seek alternative payment solutions. If the industry was to move towards alternative payment solutions we would have to adopt policies and protocols to manage our volatility and exchange rate risk exposures. Our inability to manage such risks may adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
Anti-money Laundering Laws and Regulations
We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations within Colombia and internationally that involve money laundering, financial recordkeeping and proceeds of crime. In the event that any of our investments, or any proceeds thereof, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenues accruing from such investments are found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under applicable legislation. Money laundering laws could restrict or otherwise jeopardize our ability to declare or pay dividends, effect other distributions or subsequently cause the repatriation of such funds back to the United States or to any shareholders’ jurisdiction of residence. Furthermore, while we have no current intention to declare or pay dividends on our Common Stockcommon stock in the foreseeable future, in the event that a determination was made that the revenues from our cannabis operations could reasonably be shown to constitute proceeds of crime, we may decide or be required to suspend declaring or paying dividends without advance notice and for an indefinite period of time.
5 |
Foreign Trade Policies
Our prospective international operations are subject to inherent risks, including changes in the regulations governing the flow of cannabis products between countries, fluctuations in currency values, discriminatory fiscal policies, unexpected changes in local regulations and laws and the uncertainty of enforcement of remedies in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, foreign jurisdictions could impose tariffs, quotas, trade barriers and other similar restrictions on our international sales and subsidize competing cannabis products. All of these risks could result in increased costs or decreased revenues.
United States Regulation
Although we do not believe that our limited U.S. activity will subject us to regulation under U.S. federal or state laws applicable to the sale of cannabis and marijuana, we cannot assure you that current or future U.S. laws and regulations will not detrimentally affect our business. Local, state and federal cannabis laws and regulations in the United States are constantly changing and they are subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or to alter one or more of our product or service offerings. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, and financial condition. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.
Liability, Enforcement, Complaints, etc.
Our participation in the cannabis and hemp industries may lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints, enforcement actions, and inquiries by third parties, other companies and/or various governmental authorities against us. Litigation, complaints, and enforcement actions involving us could consume considerable amounts of financial and other corporate resources, which could have an adverse effect on our future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be a party to legal and regulatory proceedings, including matters involving governmental agencies, entities with whom we do business and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We will evaluate our exposure to these legal and regulatory proceedings and establish reserves for the estimated liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Assessing and predicting the outcome of these matters involves substantial uncertainties. Unexpected outcomes in these legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluations or predictions and accompanying changes in established reserves, could have an adverse impact on our financial results.
Environmental Regulations
We are subject to Colombian environmental laws governing the use of natural resources, which prohibit such use that causes harm to the interests of the community or of third parties. Parties that cause environmental damage while acting under the authority of a permit are responsible for incurring the costs to rectify the damage. The imposition of environmental sanctions is in addition to civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed. Environmental damage caused while a party is acting without a license may lead to the imposition of sanctions, in addition to civil or criminal proceedings. Parties that cause environmental damage, in addition to sanctions or penalties that apply, are also required to carry out studies to assess the characteristics of the damage. Colombian environmental authorities may investigate potential claims, authorize preventative measures, or impose sanctions on parties breaching environmental law. Any such measures imposed on us could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Demand for Cannabis and Derivate Products
The global sale of cannabis and hemp products is a new industry as a result of recent legal and regulatory changes. Although we expect the demand for licensed cannabis to be in excess of the supply being produced by the licensed producers, there is a risk that such demand does not develop as anticipated. Further, there is a risk that the adoption rate by pharmacies to sell medical cannabis is lower than expected or that such adoption rate may take longer than anticipated. There is also a risk that the international export market for medicinal cannabis and extracts, such as CBD, CBG and CBC, will not materialize as projected or not be commercially viable. Should any of such events materialize, they may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Weather, Climate Change and Risks Inherent in an Agricultural Business
Our business involves growing cannabis, which is an agricultural product. Although our medical cannabis is intended to be grown in greenhouses, hemp used as feedstock for medicinal extracts and derivatives will be grown both outdoors and in greenhouses. Further, our prospective Colombian medicinal cannabis operations will initially focus on outdoor production. The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, hail, floods or frost, is unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact on agricultural production and may otherwise adversely affect the supply of cannabis and hemp. Adverse weather conditions may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change and may result in the introduction and increased frequency of pests and diseases. The effects of severe adverse weather conditions may reduce our yields or require us to increase our level of investment to maintain yields. Additionally, higher than average temperatures and rainfall can contribute to an increased presence of insects and pests, which could negatively affect cannabis crops. Future droughts could reduce the yield and quality of our cannabis production, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The occurrence and effects of plant disease, insects and pests can be unpredictable and devastating to agriculture, potentially rendering all or a substantial portion of the affected harvests unsuitable for sale. Even when only a portion of the production is damaged, our results of operations could be adversely affected because all or a substantial portion of the production costs may have been incurred. Although some plant diseases are treatable, the cost of treatment can be high and such events could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, if we fail to control a given plant disease and the production is threatened, we may be unable to supply our customers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on any such production.
Product Liability
As a manufacturer and distributor of products designed to be ingested or inhaled by humans, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused damages, loss or injury. In addition, the sale of our products involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning health risks, possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all.
Energy Prices and Supply
We require substantial amounts of diesel and electric energy and other resources for our harvest activities and to transport cannabis and hemp. We rely upon third parties for our supply of energy resources used in our operations. The prices for and availability of energy resources may be subject to change or curtailment, respectively, due to, among other things, new laws or regulations, imposition of new taxes or tariffs, interruptions in production by suppliers, imposition of restrictions on energy supply by government, worldwide price levels and market conditions. If our energy supply is cut for an extended period of time and we are unable to find replacement sources at comparable prices, or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
Retention and Acquisition of Skilled Personnel
We will be required to attract and retain top quality talent to compete in the marketplace. We believe our future growth and success will depend in part on our abilities to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, product development, sales and marketing, and finance personnel. There can be no assurance of success in attracting and retaining such personnel. Shortages in qualified personnel could limit our ability to be successful. At present and for the near future, we will depend upon a relatively small number of employees primarily in Colombia to develop, manufacture, market, sell and distribute our products. As the size of our business increases, we will seek to hire additional employees in other jurisdictions. Expansion of marketing and distribution of our products will require us to find, hire and retain additional capable employees who can understand, explain, market and sell our products and/or our ability to enter into satisfactory logistic arrangements to sell our products. There is intense competition for capable personnel in all of these areas and we may not be successful in attracting, training, integrating, motivating, or retaining new personnel or subcontractors for these required functions.

Emerging Market Risks
Emerging market investment generally poses a greater degree of risk than investment in more mature market economies because the economies in the developing world are more susceptible to destabilization resulting from domestic and international developments.
Colombia’s legal and regulatory requirements in connection with companies conducting agricultural activities, banking system and controls as well as local business culture and practices are different from those in the United States. Our officers and directors must rely, to a great extent, on our local legal counsel and local consultants retained by us in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect our business operations, and to assist us with our governmental relations. We must rely, to some extent, on the members of management who have previous experience working and conducting business in Colombia to enhance our understanding of and appreciation for the local business culture and practices in such countries. We also rely on the advice of local experts and professionals in connection with current and new regulations that develop in respect of banking, financing and tax matters. Any developments or changes in such legal, regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business.
We also bear the risk that changes can occur to the Government in Colombia and a new government may void or change the laws and regulations that we are relying upon. Currently, there are no restrictions on the repatriation from Colombia of earnings to foreign entities and Colombia has never imposed such restrictions. However, there can be no assurance that restrictions on repatriation of earnings will not be imposed in the future. Exchange control regulations for Colombia require that any proceeds in foreign currency originated on exports of goods from Colombia be repatriated to Colombia. However, purchase of foreign currency is allowed through Colombian authorized financial entities for purposes of payments to foreign suppliers, repayment of foreign debt, payment of dividends to foreign stockholders and other foreign expenses.
Due to our location in Colombia, our business, financial position and results of operations may be affected by the general conditions of the Colombian economy, price instabilities, currency fluctuations, inflation, interest rates, regulatory changes, taxation changes, social instabilities, political unrest and other developments in or affecting Colombia, over which we do not have control.
Risks Related to Conducting Operations in Colombia
We recently were granted medicinal cannabis licenses in Colombia. Over the past 10 to 15 years, the Government of Colombia has made strides in improving the social, political, economic, legal and fiscal regimes. However, operations in Colombia will still be subject to risk due to the potential for social, political, economic, legal and fiscal instability. The Government of Colombia faces ongoing problems including, but not limited to, unemployment and inequitable income distribution and unstable neighboring countries. The instability in neighboring countries could result in an influx of immigrants resulting in a humanitarian crisis and/or increased illegal activities. Colombia is also home to a number of insurgency groups and large swaths of the countryside are under guerrilla influence. In addition, Colombia experiences narcotics-related violence, a prevalence of kidnapping, extortion and thefts and civil unrest in certain areas of the country. Such instability may require us to suspend operations on our properties.
Other risks exist relating to the conduct of business in Colombia. These risks include the future imposition of special taxes or similar charges, as well as foreign exchange fluctuations and currency convertibility and controls. Other risks of doing business in Colombia include our ability to enforce our contractual rights or the taking or nationalization of property without fair compensation, restrictions on the use of expatriates in our operations, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts, changes in taxation policies, or other matters.
The Government of Colombia recently reached a peace accord with the country’s largest guerrilla group. The Government of Colombia also entered into and dissolved formal discussions with the country’s second largest guerrilla group due to their unwillingness to cease criminal and violent crimes. There is no certainty that the agreements will be adhered to by all of the members of the guerrilla groups or that a peace agreement will be ultimately reached with the country’s second largest guerrilla group. There is a risk that any peace agreement might contain new laws or change existing laws that could have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, the achievement of peace with the country’s guerrilla groups could create additional social or political instability in the immediate aftermath, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Global Economy
Financial and commodity markets in Colombia are influenced by the economic and market conditions in other countries, including other South American and emerging market countries and other global markets. Although economic conditions in these countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Colombia, investors’ reactions to developments in these other countries, such as the recent developments in the global financial markets, may substantially affect the capital flows into, and the market value of securities of issuers with operations in Colombia.

Insurance Coverage
Our production is, in general, subject to different risks and hazards, including adverse weather conditions, fires, plant diseases and pest infestations, other natural phenomena, industrial accidents, labor disputes, changes in the legal and regulatory framework applicable to us, and environmental contingencies. We will endeavor to obtain appropriate insurance covering these risks in amounts sufficient to support a downturn in the sale of our products due to these potential production risks. The cost of such insurance may be high and we may not be able to obtain sufficient amount of insurance to cover these risks.
Operations in Spanish
As a result of our conducting most of our operations in Colombia, our regulatory licenses and books and records, including key documents such as material contracts and financial documentation, are principally negotiated and entered into in the Spanish language and English translations may not exist or be readily available.
General Business Risks
General Business RisksThe outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact our business and the global economy. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our ability to obtain financing when required.
The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. A pandemic, including COVID-19 or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, customers, and other commercial partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to the spread of the disease or shutdowns requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s cultivation operations in Colombia significantly declined due to the Colombian quarantine restrictions resulting from COVID-19. COVID-19 has also had an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which could impair our ability to raise capital when needed.
Inability to Manage Growth
We may not be able to effectively manage our growth. Our strategy envisions growing our business. We plan to expand our production and manufacturing capability and create a distribution network on a global basis. Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems. As with other growing businesses, we expect that we will need to further refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. We also will need to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:
● | expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner; | |
● | ||
create a distribution network | ||
● | ||
allocate our human resources optimally; | ||
● | ||
meet our capital needs; | ||
● | ||
identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or | ||
● | ||
obtain and maintain necessary licenses in relevant jurisdictions |
Our inability or failure to manage our growth and expansion effectively could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Speculative Forecasts
Any forecasts we provide will be highly speculative in nature and we cannot predict results in a development stage company with a high degree of accuracy. Any financial projections, especially those based on ventures with minimal operating history, are inherently subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and their ultimate achievement depends on the timing and occurrence of a complex series of future events, both internal and external to the enterprise. There can be no assurance that potential revenues or expenses we project will be accurate.
Limited Management Team
Our limited senior management team size may hamper our ability to effectively manage a publicly traded company while operating our business. Our management team has experience in the management of publicly traded companies and complying with federal securities laws, including compliance with recently adopted disclosure requirements on a timely basis. They realize it will take significant resources to meet these requirements while simultaneously working on cultivating, developing and distributing our products. Our management will be required to design and implement appropriate programs and policies in responding to increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, and any failure to do so could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and harm our business.

Risks Related to ourTo Our Common Stock
The issuance of such additional shares of common stock may depress the price of our common stock.
We have outstanding obligations to issue additional shares of common stock in the future. These include the following:
● | We may sell and issue to Tysadco up to $10,000,000 of shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement; | |
● | There are 11,011,650 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to common stock warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2022; | |
● | There are 6,523,300 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2022; | |
● | There are 23,850,100 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2022; | |
● | There are 5,000,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to convertible debt instruments outstanding as of September 30, 2022. |
Any shares of common stock issued pursuant to these securities would further dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The terms on which we could obtain additional capital during the life of these securities may be adversely affected because of such potential dilution. Finally, we may issue additional shares in the future other than as listed above. There are no preemptive rights in connection with our common stock. Thus, the percentage ownership of existing stockholders may be diluted if we issue additional shares in the future. Future issuances of additional shares pursuant to options, warrants other convertible securities could cause immediate and this Offeringsubstantial dilution to the net tangible book value of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately before such issuances. Any future decrease in the net tangible book value of such issued and outstanding shares could materially and adversely affect the market value of the shares.
Limited Trading
Although prices for shares of our Common Stockcommon stock are quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets, there is little current trading and no assurance can be given that an active public trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. The OTC Markets is generally regarded as a less efficient and less prestigious trading market than other national markets. There is no assurance if or when our Common Stockcommon stock will be quoted on another more prestigious exchange or market. The market price of our Common Stockcommon stock is likely to be highly volatile because for some time there will likely be a thin trading market for the stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on the stock price.
Penny Stock Risk
BecauseWe may issue additional stock without stockholder consent.
Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or part of our Common Stock is a “penny stock,” trading therein willauthorized but unissued shares. Additional shares may be subject to regulatory restrictions. Our Common Stock is currently, and in the near future will likely continue to be, considered a “penny stock.” The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practicesissued in connection with future financing, acquisitions, employee stock plans, or otherwise. Any such issuance will dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The Board of Directors can also issue preferred stock in one or more series and fix the terms of such stock without stockholder approval. Preferred stock may include the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and reduce the value of the common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to holders of preferred stock could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. Such issuance could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions you desire.
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our common stock because it is considered a penny stocks. Penny stocks generally arestock and is subject to the penny stock rules.
Our common stock currently constitutes “penny stock.” Subject to certain exceptions, for the purposes relevant to us, “penny stock” includes any equity securities withsecurity that has a market price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registeredper share. Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect tobrokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Theinvolving a “penny stock.” In particular, a broker-dealer selling penny stock rules requireto anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse), must make a broker-dealer,special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation ofsale, unless the broker-dealer and any salesperson inor the transaction and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock rulesregulations require that,the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to aany transaction ininvolving a penny stock, not otherwise exempt from those rules,a disclosure schedule prepared by the broker-dealer must make a special written determination thatSecurities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is a suitable investmentotherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreementsecurities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the transaction. Thesepenny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and other requirements may adversely affectimpede the trading activitysale of our shares in the secondary market formarket.
Because our Common Stock.Board of Directors does not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders may have to sell their shares of our common stock to realize a return on their investment in the company.
No Dividend Payments
WeHolders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available. To date, we have paid no dividends. Our Board of Directors does not paidintend to declare any dividends in the past and we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, andbut instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations. Accordingly, a return on an investment may be limited to potential future appreciation on the valuein shares of our Common Stock. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including without limitation, our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. To the extent we do not pay dividends, ourcommon stock may be less valuable becauserealized only through a return on investment will only occursale of such shares, if and to the extent the stock price appreciates, which may never occur. In addition, shareholders must generally rely on sales of the shares they own after price appreciation as the only way to realize their investment, and if the price of our Common Stock does not appreciate, then there will be no return on investment.at all.
Control of Common Stock will Influence Decision Making
Our officers, directors and principal stockholders are able to exert significant influence over us and may make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders. Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) collectively own approximately 30.2%44.1% of our fully-diluted Common Stock.common stock. As a result of such ownership, these stockholders are able to affect the outcome of, or exert significant influence over, all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our Common Stockcommon stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of our company. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of our Common Stock.common stock.
We are an Emerging Growth Company Within the Meaning of the Securities Act.
We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Common Stockcommon stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of any second quarter of a fiscal year, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the end of such fiscal year. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Antitakeover Protections
Anti-takeover provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could cause our stock price to decline. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, bylaws and Nevada law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock.common stock.
Increased Compliance CostsRisks Relating to Our Agreements with Tysadco Partners, LLC
The requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner. As a public company, we need to comply with laws, regulations and requirements, certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, related regulations of the SEC, and requirements of the principal trading market upon which our Common Stock may trade, with which we are not required to comply as a private company. As a result, the combined business will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that a private company would not incur. Complying with these statutes, regulations and requirements will occupy a significant amount of the timesale of our board of directors and management, will require uscommon stock to have additional finance and accounting staff, may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified officers and members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on the audit committee, and may make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly. We will need to:
If we are unable to accomplish these objectives in a timely and effective fashion for our business, our ability to comply with financial reporting requirements and other rules that apply to reporting companies could be impaired. If our finance and accounting personnel insufficiently support our business in fulfilling these public-company compliance obligations, or if we are unable to hire adequate finance and accounting personnel, we could face significant legal liability, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if we identify any issues in complying with those requirements (for example, if our company or the independent registered public accountants identified a material weakness or significant deficiency in our company’s internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect, our reputation or investor perceptions of our company.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “will,” “may,” “future,” “plan,” “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions thatTysadco may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentionsdilution, and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot be sure that they will be achieved. Particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include: our limited operating history; changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines; our reliance on Colombian licenses, our ability to obtain authorizations and quotas; regulatory compliance risks; competition in our industry; our ability to establish and maintain bank accounts; our ability to comply with foreign trade policies; the continued demand for cannabis and derivate products; our ability to retain and acquire skilled personnel; and the risks involved in conducting operations in Colombia, as well as other factors set forth under the caption“Risk Factors” on page 3 of this prospectus. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Tysadco, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our Common Stock beingcommon stock to fall.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Tysadco has committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 of our common stock. The shares that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in the future may be sold by us to Tysadco at our discretion from time to time, commencing after the SEC has declared effective the registration statement that includes this prospectus and until approximately three years after such date. The per share purchase price for the shares that we may sell to Tysadco under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock, and will be equal to 88% of the of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the period of 10 trading days beginning five trading days preceding the day we deliver the applicable put notice to Tysadco. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of shares of common stock to Tysadco may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.
We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Tysadco, except that, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may not sell shares to Tysadco if the sale would result in its beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. Tysadco may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, after it has acquired shares, Tysadco may sell all, some or none of those shares. Therefore, sales to Tysadco by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Tysadco, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
Tysadco will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock for purchases under the Purchase Agreement.
The common stock to be issued to Tysadco pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be purchased at a 12% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the during the period of 10 trading days beginning five trading days preceding the day we deliver the applicable put notice to Tysadco. Tysadco has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Tysadco sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, Tysadco may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.
We may not be able to put to Tysadco all $10,000,000 of shares available under the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by Tysadco of up to $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock. Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Purchase Agreement requires the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part be declared effective by the SEC and continue to be effective at the time of the put, as well as Tysadco’s compliance with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to draw down all or any portion of the $10,000,000 available to us under the Purchase Agreement.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Shares offered for saleby this prospectus will be sold by the selling shareholders.stockholder. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to registernot receive any proceeds from the sharessale of Common Stock. Brokerage fees, commissions and similar expenses, if any, attributable tocommon stock by the selling stockholder. However, we will receive proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to Tysadco under the Purchase Agreement, and upon the exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholder. These proceeds would be used for general working capital purposes.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER
This prospectus relates to the possible resale from time to time by the selling stockholder of our common stock, including shares of common stock that may be issued by us to Tysadco under the Purchase Agreement, and upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock we issued to Tysadco under the Purchase Agreement. In addition, on September 1, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tysadco (the “SPA”) under which Tysadco agreed to purchase an aggregate of 20,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock for a total purchase price of $300,000 in two closings of 10,000 Series B Preferred Shares each. The first closing of 10,000 Series B Shares occurred following the execution of the SPA, and the second closing under the SPA is to occur within five days after the filing of the registration statement that includes this prospectus. Except for the transactions contemplated by the SPA and the Purchase Agreement, including our obligations under the related Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we have filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, Tysadco has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares of common stock that they may offer from time to time under this prospectus.

OUR BUSINESSMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, One World Pharma S.A.S, a licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution (export) company located in Popayán, Colombia (nearest major city is Cali). We plan to be a producer of raw cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. We have received licenses to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, we are one of the only companies in Colombia to receive seed, cultivation, extraction and export licenses from the Colombian government. Currently, we own approximately 30 acres and have a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, we have entered into agreements with local farming co-operatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis. We planted our first crop of cannabis in 2018, which we began harvesting in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities and quality control testing of the cannabis we have produced. We have been generating revenue from the sale of our seeds since the second quarter of 2020. From August 2021 through March 2022, we made payments of approximately $1,400,000 for the purchase of a state of the art distillation machine that we expect to be placed in service within our vertically integrated extraction facility during the third quarter of 2022. Once the equipment is placed in service, we will be one of the only companies in Colombia to both hold licenses and possess the capability to extract high-quality CBD and THC oils.

The increase in funds used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, was primarily due to increased operations in the current year as we rebounded from the global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to our net loss in that period.
The increase in funds used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, was due primarily to increased purchases of fixed assets in the year ended December 31, 2021. The cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of purchases of fixed assets.
The increase in funds provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, was due primarily to increased proceeds from the sale of our securities and debt financing received during the year ended December 31, 2021. The cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of the proceeds of debt financing during such period.
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
As of June 30, 2022, our balance of cash on hand was $54,797, and we had negative working capital of $1,800,626 and an accumulated deficit of $21,217,884. We do not currently have sufficient funds to fund our operations at their current levels for the next twelve months. As we implement our cannabis cultivation business and attempt to expand operational activities, we expect to continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and to achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. Since inception, we have raised funds primarily through the sale of equity securities. We will need, and are currently seeking, additional funds to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds, our ability to carry out and implement our planned business objectives and strategies will be significantly delayed, limited or may not occur. We cannot guarantee that we will become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise additional funds.
Our financial statements included in this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements included in this prospectus also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with 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. The Company’s sales to date have primarily consisted of the sale of seeds. These sales include multi-element arrangements whereby the Company collects 50% of the sale upon delivery of the sales, and the remaining 50% upon the completion of the harvest, whether the seeds result in a successful crop, or not. In addition, the Company has a right of first refusal to purchase products resulting from the harvest. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $33,510 of deferred revenues and $22,132 of deferred cost of goods sold, as included in other current assets on the balance sheet, that are expected to be recognized upon the customers’ completion of their harvests in 2022.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of cannabis flower grown in-house, along with produced extracts.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS
Overview
On February 21, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with OWP Merger Subsidiary, Inc. (“OWP Merger Sub), our wholly-owned subsidiary, and OWP Ventures, Inc. (“OWP Ventures”). Under the Merger Agreement, the acquisition of OWP Ventures by us was effected by the merger of OWP Merger Sub with and into OWP Ventures, with OWP Ventures being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). The closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger occurred on February 21, 2019.
Immediately prior to the Closing, we were a public “shell” company with nominal assets. As of the Closing, we are no longer a public shell. As a result of the Merger, we are engaged in OWP Ventures’ business, including the business of its wholly-owned subsidiary, One World Pharma, S.A.S., a Colombian company (“OWP Colombia”). With respectOn November 23, 2021, we changed our name from One World Pharma, Inc. to One World Products, Inc. through the merger of One World Products, Inc., a recently formed Nevada corporation wholly-owned by us, with and into us. This merger was effected solely to effect the change of our name, and had no effect on our officers, directors, operations, assets or liabilities. In this discussion,Form 10-K, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “our company” refers to One World Pharma,Products, Inc. and its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, OWP Ventures and OWP Colombia.
On June 3, 2020, Isiah L. Thomas III was appointed to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman. Mr. Thomas was a 12-time NBA All Star, two-time NBA champion, and is an accomplished international business executive. In 2021, through ISIAH International, LLC, of which he is the sole member, Mr. Thomas purchased $3,000,000 of our Series B Preferred Stock in installments over a period of time ending in July 2021.
We plan to be a producer of raw cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. We have received licenses from Colombian regulators to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, we are one of the first companies in Colombia to receive licenses for seed, cultivation, extraction and export from the Colombian government (the “Licenses”).
We planted our first crop of cannabis in Popayan, Colombia in 2018, and began initial harvesting in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities and quality control testing of the cannabis we have produced. We intend to commencecommenced limited shipping of non-psychoactive products to customers in the first quarterMay of 2020. Although we hold the four Colombian Licenses, we will need to obtain additional approvals from Colombian regulators before we can fully execute our business plan, particularly with respect to the sale psychoactive products. As described further under “Regulation” below,
● | We will need to obtain quota approvals from the Colombian authorities before we can commence commercial sale of our psychoactive products under our Cannabis Manufacturing License and Psychoactive Cultivation License; | |
● | We | |
● | We | |
● | We have successfully registered eight psychoactive distinct cannabis strains and have received the certifications required by Columbia’s National Registrar as of December 2020; and | |
● | We will proceed to get quota approvals for 2022. |
Our first cultivation and extraction sites aresite is located in Popayan, Colombia.Colombia and our extraction facility will be located in the outskirts of Bogota, Colombia, in the town of Funza. Our cultivation facility encompasses approximately 30 acres and includes a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, we have entered into agreements with local farming co-operatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis.
We employ modern propagation and cultivation techniques drawn from U.S. practices that allow us to rapidly multiply the cells of a specific plant strain to produce large numbers of genetically consistent progeny plants using our own plant tissue culture method. We believe this technique allows us to cultivate plants which are stable, robust and able to produce genetically superior cannabis and hemp derived products. We intend to have our processes and products certified as compliant with international standards, including Good Agricultural Practices (“GAP”), Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) and the standards set forth in EU Pharmacopoeia, a publication that sets forth quality standards applicable to the European pharmaceutical industry.
24 |
We intend to build additionalcurrently have 120,000 square feet of covered greenhouse capacity, in excess of 1 millionwhich we intend to increase to 160,000 square feet. We are building out our extraction and production facility and expect it to be operational before the end of 2019.2022. . From August 2021 through March 2022, we made payments of approximately $1,400,000 for the purchase of a state of the art distillation machine that we expect to be placed in service within our vertically integrated extraction facility during the third quarter of 2022. Once the equipment is placed in service, we will be one of the only companies in Colombia to both hold licenses and possess the capability to extract high-quality CBD and THC oils. In addition, we have a contractual relationship with a local co-operative under which they agree to assist us in cultivation at our facility.
We have received approvalfull registrations from the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (the “ICA”) to begin cultivatingfor the full registration of 3 non-psychoactive high CBD strains and 13 proprietary high THC cannabis strains and 2 high CBD strains. We have also received approval to grow 68 mother plants to begin this characterization process, which we have commenced. If we are successful in this process, the strains will be entered in the ICA cultivar registry. Only registered strains may be sold under Colombian law. We are now able to start the quota process, which is required in order to commercialize THC products. We believe we will receive a supplementary quota during 2022 that will allow us to sell THC products before year end 2022.
We believe there is a large and growing market for cannabis and hemp products around the world. The market for CBD has shown particular demand and growth. We will pursue sales into this market using a direct sales force to establish direct customer relationships and distributor relationships. We will seek out customers who have large and recurring needs and demands. Countries that we intend to focus on include EU countries, the UK, Poland, Israel, and Canada.
We expect to commencehave commenced limited shippinginitial shipments of non-psychoactive products to customers in the first quarterMay of 2020. However, we areremain subject to numerous risks that may affect or delay the date of first sale,future sales, including regulatory requirements imposed or that may in the future be imposed by the Colombian regulating authorities. In addition, we will need to obtain quota approval from Colombian regulators before making we can make sales of our psychoactive products.
History and Background
One World Pharma S.A.S., is a Colombian company (“OWP Colombia”), incorporated on July 14, 2017 with the goal of procuring the following Colombian Licenses.
On December 20, 2017, the Colombian Ministry of Health, by means of resolution No. 5251 of 2017, granted OWP Colombia its license for the production of cannabis derivatives for domestic use and export, allowing OWP Colombia to extract high tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) compounds (“Cannabis Manufacturing License”). This license will expire on December 20, 2022.
On December 26, 2017, the Colombian Ministry of Justice, by means of resolution No. 1087 of 2017, granted OWP Colombia its license to use seeds for sowing for sale or delivery of seeds and/or for scientific research purposes, allowing for genetic and seed bank registration (“Cannabis Seed Possession License”). This license will expire on December 26, 2022.
On December 26, 2017, the Colombian Ministry of Justice, by means of resolution No. 1088 of 2017, granted OWP Colombia its license to grow non-psychoactive cannabis plants (less than 1.0% THC). Under this license, OWP Colombia can produce seeds for planting, deliver and make sales of the cannabis crop in order to produce cannabis derivatives and deliver and make sales of the cannabis crop for industrial purposes (“Cannabis Non-Psychoactive Cultivation License”). This license will expire on December 26, 2022.
On January 4, 2018, the Colombian Ministry of Justice, by means of resolution No. 0015 of 2018, granted OWP Colombia its license to grow psychoactive cannabis plants (greater than 1.0% THC) (“Psychoactive Cultivation License”). Under this license, OWP Colombia can produce seeds for planting, and deliver and make sales of the cannabis crop in order to produce cannabis derivatives. This license will expire on January 4, 2023.
Six months prior to the expiration of each of the Licenses, we can apply for successive renewals for additional five-year periods. In each renewal application, the corresponding Ministry will assess compliance with all the relevant requirements in determining whether or not to renew the License.
On March 27, 2018, OWP Ventures, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of acquiring OWP Colombia.
On May 30, 2018, OWP Ventures entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of OWP Colombia whereby the shareholders of OWP Colombia transferred their shares in OWP Colombia to OWP Ventures in exchange for 10,200,000 shares of common stock of OWP Ventures.
25 |
OWP Colombia planted its first crop of cannabis in 2018, which it began harvesting in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities and quality control testing of the cannabis we have produced. To date, we have not yet generated any revenues from our activities.
Products
We are focused on cultivating, processing and supplying crude cannabis oil, distillate and isolate to customers’ specification. We plan to sell as a wholesaler to industrial companies making cannabis related products. We also plan on supplying the hemp plant bio-mass remaining after our extraction process to industry participants that utilize hemp in the manufacture of their products. Hemp is used to make a variety of commercial and industrial products, including rope, textiles, clothing, shoes, food, paper, bioplastics, insulation and biofuel.
We are currently in the process of cultivating medicinal cannabis at our facility in Popayán,Popayan, Colombia for a variety of medical conditions. We have registered 25 varieties or strains of cannabis with the Colombian Ministry of Health and intend to register additional varieties by the endHealth. See “Strains of 2019. See “Operations - Strains of Cannabis”. below. The development of these strains enables us to select mother plants and identify the concentrations of cannabinoids required for the products which we intend to distribute. The cannabis will be produced in accordance with GMP Standards. We are committed to developing final products consistent with medicinal cannabis industry standards and pharmaceutical procedures. Our products will include a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes designed to address specific medical conditions. The composition of the strains will include a wide range of THC and CBD ratios.
Industry
Medicinal cannabis refers to the use of cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids and terpenes to treat disease or ameliorate symptoms such as pain, muscle spasticity, nausea and other indications. Cannabinoid is a blanket term covering a family of complex chemicals, both natural and man-made, that bind with cannabinoid receptors (protein molecules on the surface of cells) and effect a wide number of responses. Cannabinoid receptors in the human body are part of a system called the endocannabinoid system. This system produces chemicals called endocannabinoids, which also bind with cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptors are found in the brain and throughout the body. Scientists have found that cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system are involved in a vast array of functions in our bodies, including helping to modulate brain and nerve activity (including memory and pain), energy metabolism, heart function, the immune system and even reproduction. While there are a large number of active cannabinoids found in cannabis, the two most common currently used for medical purposes are tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol. Although no clinical trials have been completed in the United States to validate the effectiveness of tetrahydrocannabinol or cannabidiol in managing disease and improving symptoms, scientific studies have identified that they, alone and/or in combination, may potentially provide treatment benefits for a large number of medical conditions. For example, tetrahydrocannabinol, a psychotropic cannabinoid, has been shown to activate pathways in the central nervous system which work to block pain signals and has shown potential to assist patients with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and stimulate appetite in patients following chemotherapy. Cannabidiol, on the other hand, is non-psychotropic and has shown potential to relieve convulsion and inflammation, and is the active ingredient in Epidolex, which in June 2018 was approved by the FDA for the treatment of two rare and severe forms of epilepsy.
Regulation
Our active business operations are currently conducted solely within Colombia, and as such, the discussion below is limited to Colombian laws and regulations applicable to our business, which require us to hold the relevant licenses, quotas and other permits, as described below. Our activities in the United States consist solely of corporate administrative activities at our Las Vegas headquarters, including accounting, finance and SEC compliance functions. We believe that our current activities in the United States will not subject us to regulation under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act or other applicable U.S. federal or state laws with respect to our proposed business plans. All export activities will be conducted from Colombia, and we do not intend to export any of our products to jurisdictions where such sales are not legal under local law. Accordingly, we do not currently intend to export our products to the United States to the extent such products may be subject to regulation under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act or other applicable U.S. federal or state regulations.
Regulatory Authorities
Several authorities interact in the Colombian cannabis industry. The Ministry of Health is in charge of granting the Cannabis Manufacturing and Distribution License and exercises administrative control over the production of cannabis derivatives. The Ministry of Justice, through the subsection for the Control and Supervision of Chemical Substances and Narcotic Drugs, is the competent authority for issuing the Cannabis Seeds Possession License, the Cannabis Psychoactive Cultivation License and the Cannabis Non-Psychoactive Cultivation License and for exercising administrative control over cannabis operations and cultivation. The National Narcotics Fund (“FNE”) exercises administrative and operational control over activities related to the management of psychoactive and non-psychoactive cannabis and its derivatives. The National Food and Drug Surveillance Institute (“INVIMA”) is in charge of issuing and monitoring compliance under the health and phytosanitary registrations that may be applicable to products containing cannabis derivatives. The Colombian Agricultural Institute (“ICA”) is responsible for maintaining the registry of the Genetic Pool or ¨Fuente Semillera” and the registration of cannabis seeds and strains under the “Registro Nacional de Cultivares Comerciales”.
26 |
In exercising the administrative and operational control activities discussed above the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Health, ICA and FNE are required to coordinate their activities to the extent necessary, according to their competencies, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development through ICA, as well as with the National Police.
Licenses
Licenses
Under Colombian law, there are four types of cannabis licenses that authorize different activities concerning the various stages of the production line of the medical cannabis industry: (i) the Cannabis Seeds Possession License; which is required for the domestic sale and delivery of seeds (but not export) and for scientific research purposes; (ii) the Cannabis Psychoactive Cultivation License, which is required for the production of seeds for sowing; for grain production; production of cannabis derivatives; for scientific research purposes, for storage, and for final disposal; (iii) the Cannabis Non-Psychoactive Cultivation License, which is required for the production of grain and seeds for sowing; production of cannabis derivatives; for industrial purposes; for scientific research purposes; for storage; and for final disposal; and (iv) the Cannabis Manufacturing and Distribution License, which is required for the production of cannabis derivatives for domestic use; production of cannabis derivatives for scientific research purposes; and production of cannabis derivatives for exportation. OWP Colombia holds all of these licenses.
The legal framework currently in force in Colombia regarding medical cannabis is established in Law 1787 of 2016 (the “Law”) and the Decree 613 of 2017 (the “Decree”). Cannabis licenses must be issued by the Ministry of Health or the Ministry of Justice in an estimated time of 60 days, however, in practice, this process can take between four and six months. In accordance with Colombia’s international obligations, there is a limit in the amount of Cannabis allowed for fabrication or cultivation assigned by the Colombian Government (specific crop or manufacturing quotas) that must be requested by each licensee when applying for a Cannabis Psychoactive Cultivation License or a Cannabis Manufacturing License. The activities of cultivation and manufacturing can only be started once the specific quotas have been granted to the licensee.
Duration of Licenses
The Cannabis Seeds Possession License, the Cannabis Psychoactive Cultivation License, the Cannabis Non-Psychoactive License, and the Cannabis Manufacturing and Distribution License are granted by the Ministry of Justice and/or the Ministry of Health (as applicable), when the applicant fulfills the general criteria described in Article 2.8.11.2.1.5 of the Decree, and the specific requirements for each type of license. Each of these licenses is valid for up to five years. The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Health (as applicable) maintain the right to monitor the activities performed by the corresponding licensee, and in the event of a breach by the licensee of the obligations and duties set forth in the Decree, the licenses may be revoked. The relevant Ministry may renew these licenses for additional and successive five-year periods. In each renewal application, the Ministry will assess compliance with all the relevant requirements in determining whether or not to renew the license.
Quotas
As described above, regulations of cannabis in Colombia provides an additional requirement applicable to the Cannabis Psychoactive Cultivation License and Cannabis Manufacturing License, which require the grant of crop and manufacturing quotas (the “Quotas”). According to Article 2.8.11.2.6.2 of the Decree, the assignment of Quotas is collectively made by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Justice, the ICA, the INVIMA, and the FNE.
According to Article 2.8.11.2.6.5 of the Decree, there are two types of Quotas: (i) crop quotas for psychoactive cannabis (for holders of the Cannabis Psychoactive Cultivation License) which are granted by the Ministry of Justice; and (ii) the manufacturing quotas for psychoactive cannabis (for holders of the Cannabis Manufacturing License) which are granted by the Ministry of Health.
These Quotas are requested by the licensees no later than the last calendar day of April of each year, and, if they are granted by the corresponding authority, they can only be used by the licensees during the next calendar year (for instance, if a licensee requests a specific crop Quota in March, 2018, and this Quota is granted by the Ministry of Justice, the licensee will be allowed to use the Quota from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019). In extraordinary events, the licensees can request a supplementary Quota that will apply to the calendar year requested (the issuance of these Quotas depends on the special circumstances defined by the Colombian governmental authorities).

On December 3, 2018, by means of resolution 1256 of 2018, Colombia´s Ministry of Justice granted OWP Colombia a supplementary Quota for growing psychoactive mother plants; six for each of 13 varieties, for a total of 78 “mother” plants. However, before we commence the commercial sale of our psychoactive products (greater than 1% THC content), we will need to obtain Quotas from the Ministry of Health. This will require us to conduct successful agricultural characterization tests approved by and registered with the ICA/Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and stabilized extracts characterization tests approved by INVIMA/Ministry of Health, of product samples grown by us under Quotas obtained from the Ministry of Justice. We have already requested from the Ministry of Health and Justice our annual Quotas for the export sale of psychoactive ingredients in 2020,2022, and are awaiting the issuance of such Quotas in order to start our production process.
Strains of Cannabis
Strains of cannabis are registered in Colombia in two manners:
● | Registration of the Genetic Pool or “Fuente Semillera”: Under Article 2.8.11.11.1 of the Decree, licensed producers of cannabis had until December 31, 2018 to register the genetics of strains of cannabis with the ICA. Under this transitory article, the government allowed a limited period for licensed producers of cannabis to source genetics currently available in Colombia and register these as their “fuente semillera”. We registered 25 varieties under this article. This registration enables us to grow our own strains of cannabis as opposed to having to purchase registered strains from other licensed producers. | |
● | Registration Under the “Registro Nacional de Cultivares Comerciales”: Licensed producers of cannabis have to be granted a breeding/research license to be able to develop, select and trial stabilized cannabis cultivars. This registration allows licensed producers to register unique and stable varieties of cannabis for commercial production within Colombia. We were granted such license in the first quarter of 2018. Licensed producers can then request from ICA a registration trial, which is a field flowering trial with the supervision of ICA officials. The data collected in these trials can lead to registration of the cultivar in the National Registrar. Only registered varieties will be allowed to be produced commercially. We |
Sanitary Registration
The commercialization of cannabis-based finished products intended for human consumption requires the issuance of sanitary registrations by the INVIMA, and in the case of products intended for animal consumption, by the ICA.
Environmental
Under Colombian law, general principles of environmental law are set out in Law 99 of 1993 and Article 9 of the National Code of Natural Resources and Protection of the Environment. These laws establish principles governing the use of natural resources, including that use must occur without causing harm to the interests of the community or of third parties. Parties that cause environmental damage while acting under the authority of a permit are responsible for incurring the costs to rectify the damage. The imposition of environmental sanctions is in addition to civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed. Environmental damage caused while a party is acting without a license constitutes a breach of Law 99 of 1993 and may lead to the imposition of sanctions, in addition to civil or criminal proceedings that may result. Parties that cause environmental damage, in addition to sanctions or penalties that apply, will also be required to carry out studies to assess the characteristics of the damage. Under Colombian law, liability for environmental damage creates a presumption of liability in case of a: (i) breach of environmental laws; (ii) environmental damage; and (iii) breach of environmental license or any other administrative act from the environmental authorities. The Environmental Authorities may investigate potential claims, authorize preventative measures, or impose sanctions on parties breaching environmental law.
Competition
The market for medicinal cannabis is characterized by unsatisfied patient demand, with few authorized producers. Although competition in the market is growing and Colombia offers an open process to apply for the licenses, we believe we are competitively positioned to satisfy the demand for medicinal cannabis given our early entry into the market, the management team’s expertise in medical product branding, marketing, quality control and domestic market relationships. In addition, the Colombian government has published for comment a draft decree that requires any applicant for any of the four Licenses to furnish evidence that it has completed the seed registration process before the ICA and obtained the corresponding technical sheet for the cannabis plants and varieties. If enacted, this new regulation will result in stricter requirements on potential competitors seeking a Colombian License.
Cultivation in Colombia has natural cost advantages. However, management believes the more sustainable competitive advantage is to create patient loyalty and brand preference, as opposed to the distribution of more homogeneous products. Domestically our competition consists of PharmaCielo, CannaVida, Empresa Colombiana de Cannabis, Khiron Life Sciences Corp., MedCan, Canopy Growth Corporation, and Clever Leaves.
Intellectual Property
Our success depends, at least in part, on our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on trade secrets, including know-how, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other contractual rights to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology.
Seasonality
Colombia and its vertical offering of microclimates is the ideal country for year-round growing and processing of all possible varieties of cannabis in a natural, environmentally friendly manner.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysisissue up to 310,000,000 shares of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth in the section captioned “Risk Factors” on page 3 of this prospectus. The following should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included elsewhere herein.
Overview
On February 21, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement with OWP Merger Sub, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and OWP Ventures. Under the Merger Agreement, the acquisition of OWP Ventures by us was effected by the merger of OWP Merger Sub with and into OWP Ventures, with OWP Ventures being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Closing of the Merger occurred on February 21, 2019. As a result of the Merger (a) holders of the outstanding capital stock, consisting of OWP Ventures received an aggregate of 39,475,398 shares of our Common Stock; (b) options to purchase 825,000300,000,000 shares of common stock, of OWP Ventures at an exercise price of $0.50 automatically converted into options to purchase 825,000par value $0.001 common stock (“common stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50; (c) the outstanding principal and interest under a $300,000 convertible note issued by OWP Ventures became convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.424 per share or 80% of the price we sell our Common Stock in a future “Qualified Offering”; (d) 875,000 shares of our Common Stock owned by OWP Ventures prior to the Merger were cancelled; and (e) OWP Ventures’ chief operating officer became our chief operating officer and two of OWP Ventures’ directors became members of our board of directors.
OWP Ventures, Inc. is a holding company formed in Delaware on March 27, 2018 to enter and support the cannabis industry, and on May 30, 2018, it acquired One World Pharma S.A.S. One World Pharma S.A.S, is a licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution (export) company located in Popayán, Colombia (nearest major city is Cali). We plan to be a producer of raw cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. We have received licenses to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, we are one of the only companies in Colombia to receive seed, cultivation, extraction and export licenses from the Colombian government. Currently, we own approximately 30 acres and have a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, we have entered into agreements with local farming co-operatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis. We planted our first crop of cannabis in 2018, which we began harvesting in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities and quality control testing of the cannabis we have produced. To date, we have not yet generated any revenues from our activities.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with OWP Ventures deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the financial statements included in this prospectus the following discussion reflect the historical operations of OWP Ventures and its wholly-owned subsidiary One World Pharma S.A.S prior to the Merger, and that of the combined company following the Merger. The historical financial information for One World Pharma, Inc. (formerly Punto Group Corp.) prior to the Merger has been omitted.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $1,933,479, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $285,897 for the period from inception (March 27, 2018) to June 30, 2018. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,268,497 for the period from inception (March 27, 2018) to December 31, 2018. The cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our net losses.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $366,585, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $11,585 for the period from inception (March 27, 2018) to June 30, 2018. Net cash used in investing activities was $753,661 for the period from inception (March 27, 2018) to December 31, 2018. The cash used in investing activities consisted of purchases of fixed assets.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $2,243,602, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $707,000 for the period from inception (March 27, 2018) to June 30, 2018. The current period consisted of $500,000 of convertible debt financing that was subsequently converted into 1,253,493 shares of commonpreferred stock, at $0.40 per share, repayments of $207,000 to shareholders on previous advances, proceeds of $602 on subscriptions receivable and $1,950,000 of proceeds received from the sale of stock at $0.50 per share. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,152,094 for the period from inception (March 27, 2018) to December 31, 2018, and consisted of the proceeds from the sale of common stock, a secured convertible note payable, unsecured advances payable on demand by shareholders, notes payable and contributed capital.
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Prior to the $2,054,500 of proceeds from of our recent stock sales, our balance of cash on hand was $212,385, and we had a working capital deficit of $745,796 and an accumulated deficit of $4,608,726 as of June 30, 2019. We currently may not have sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations to the extent necessary to provide working capital.
We have incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit, and, as set forth above, our cash on hand is not sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing its cannabis cultivation activities and expects to begin revenue generating export operations in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, we are currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short- term operations. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. In the event revenues do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing or would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives, becoming profitable or continuing our business without either a temporary interruption or a permanent cessation. Additional financing may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We have adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue from the sale of commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition.
There was no impact on our financial statements as a result of adopting ASC 606 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or the year ended December 31, 2018.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.
The following table contains information regarding the current members of the Board of Directors and executive officers. The ages of individuals are provided as of September 10, 2019:
Craig Ellinshas spent over 30 years developing start-ups in various industries, most recently focusing on the marijuana industry, including indoor growing technology. Mr. Ellins has served as the Chief Executive Officer and President, of OWP Ventures since its inception in March 2018 and as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and director since November 30, 2018. From March 13, 2014 until April 29, 2016, Mr. Ellins served as the Chief Executive Officer of GB Sciences, Inc., a cannabis company focused on standardized cultivation and production methods as well as biopharmaceutical research and development, and from April 29, 2016 until May 8, 2017, he served as the Chief Innovation Officer of GB Sciences, Inc.

Mr. Raben received his A.B. from Vassar College in 1975 and his MBA from Colombia University in 1979. We believe that Mr. Raben’s investment banking and financial experience qualify him to serve as our director.

Anti-takeover Provisions
Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and Nevada law may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company.
Nevada Law
In addition, Nevada has enacted the following legislation that may deter or frustrate takeovers of Nevada corporations:
Authorized but Unissued Stock – The authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock may enable our board of directors to issue shares of stock to persons friendly to existing management.
Evaluation of Acquisition Proposals – The Nevada Revised Statutes expressly permit our board of directors, when evaluating any proposed tender or exchange offer, any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of our assets, or any similar extraordinary transaction, to consider all relevant factors including, without limitation, the social, legal, and economic effects on our employees, customers, suppliers, and other relevant interest holders, and on the communities and geographical areas in which they operate. Our board of directors may also consider the amount of consideration being offered in relation to the then current market price of our outstanding shares of capital stock and our then current value in a freely negotiated transaction.
Control Share Acquisitions – Nevada has adopted a control share acquisitions statute designed to afford stockholders of public corporations in Nevada protection against acquisitions in which a person, entity or group seeks to gain voting control. With enumerated exceptions, the statute provides that shares acquired within certain specific ranges will not possess voting rights in the election of directors unless the voting rights are approved by a majority vote of the public corporation’s disinterested stockholders. Disinterested shares are shares other than those owned by the acquiring person or by a member of a group with respect to a control share acquisition, or by any officer of the corporation or any employee of the corporation who is also a director. The specific acquisition ranges that trigger the statute are: acquisitions of shares possessing one-fifth or more but less than one-third of all voting power; acquisitions of shares possessing one-third or more but less than a majority of all voting power; or acquisitions of shares possessing a majority or more of all voting power. Under certain circumstances, the statute permits the acquiring person to call a special stockholders’ meeting for the purpose of considering the grant of voting rights to the holder of the control shares. The statute also enables a corporation to provide for the redemption of control shares with no voting rights under certain circumstances.

Nature of Business
Nature of Business
One World Products, Inc., formerly known as One World Pharma, Inc. (formerly Punto Group, Corp.(the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 2, 2014. On February 21, 2019, One World Pharma, Inc. (“One World Pharma,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”)we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with OWP Merger Subsidiary, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and OWP Ventures, Inc. (“OWP Ventures”), which is the parent company of One World Pharma SAS, a Colombian company (“OWP Colombia”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we acquired OWP Ventures (and indirectly, OWP Colombia) by the merger of OWP Merger Subsidiary with and into OWP Ventures, with OWP Ventures being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger (a) holders of the outstanding capital stock of OWP Ventures received an aggregate of shares of our Common Stock;common stock; (b) options to purchase shares of common stock of OWP Ventures at an exercise price of $0.50$ automatically converted into options to purchase shares of our Common Stockcommon stock at an exercise price of $0.50;$ ; (c) the outstanding principal and interest under a $300,000$300,000 convertible note issued by OWP Ventures became convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our Common Stockcommon stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.424$0.424 per share or 80% of the price we sell our Common Stockcommon stock in a future “Qualified Offering”; (d) shares of our Common Stockcommon stock owned by OWP Ventures prior to the Merger were cancelled; and (e) OWP Ventures’ chief operating officer became our chief operating officer and two of OWP Ventures’ directors became members of our board of directors. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada,Coral Gables, Florida, and all of its customers are expected to be outside of the United States. On January 10, 2019, the Company changed its name from Punto Group, Corp. to One World Pharma, Inc., and on November 23, 2021, the Company changed its name to One World Products, Inc. through the merger of One World Products, Inc., a recently formed Nevada corporation wholly-owned by the Company, with and into the Company (the “Name Change Merger”) pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). As permitted by the NRS, the articles of merger filed with the Secretary of State of the state of Nevada to effect the Name Change Merger amended Article I of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to “One World Products, Inc.” The Name Change Merger was effected solely to effect the change of the Company’s name, and had no effect on the Company’s officers, directors, operations, assets or liabilities.
OWP Ventures is a holding company formed in Delaware on March 27, 2018 to enter and support the cannabis industry, and on May 30, 2018, it acquired OWP Colombia. OWP Colombia is a licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution (export) company located in Popayán, Colombia (nearest major city is Cali). We plan to be a producer of raw cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. We have received licenses to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, we are one of the onlyfew companies in Colombia to receive all four licenses, including seed use, cultivation of non-psychoactive cannabis, cultivation of psychoactive cannabis, and manufacturing allowing for extraction and export licenses from the Colombian government.export. Currently, we own approximately 30 acres and have a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, we have entered into agreements with local farming co-operatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis. We planted our first crop of cannabis in 2018, which we began harvesting cannabis in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities, and quality control testing and extraction. We have been generating revenue from the sale of our seeds since the second quarter of 2020. In August 2021, we paid total deposits of $1,155,000of the approximate total cost of $1,400,000 for the construction of a vertically integrated extraction facility designed to process the cannabis flower. Upon completion of construction, we have produced. To date, we have not yet generated any revenues from our activities.will be one of the only companies in Colombia to both hold licenses and possess the capability to extract high-quality CBD and THC oils.

Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is Columbian Peso (COP). The Company has maintained its financial statements using the functional currency, and translated those financial statements to the US Dollar (USD) throughout this report. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. 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. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ASCthe Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances in a full-set of general-purpose financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from thosethese estimates.
Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company discloses the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (ASC 820). Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards BoardFASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short termshort-term nature of the instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with various financial institutions in Columbia, and all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. We have not held any cash equivalents to date.

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000,$250,000, under current regulations. The Company didn’tdid not have any amountscash in excess of FDIC insured limits at June 30, 2019,2022, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adoptedrecognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts. Forcontracts to perform pilot studies by applying the comparative periods,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. The Company’s sales to date have primarily consisted of the sale of seeds. These sales include multi-element arrangements whereby the Company collects 50% of the sale upon delivery of the sales, and the remaining 50% upon the completion of the harvest, whether the seeds result in a successful crop, or not. In addition, the Company has not been adjusteda right of first refusal to purchase products resulting from the harvest. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $33,510 of deferred revenues and continues$22,132 of deferred cost of goods sold, as included in other current assets on the balance sheet, that are expected to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition.recognized upon the customers’ completion of their harvests in 2022.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting ASC 606 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or the year ended December 31, 2018.Inventory
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of cannabis flower grown in-house, along with produced extracts.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
AdoptionFrom time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of Newthe specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting Standardsfor Contract Assets and Recently IssuedContract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle for contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The new guidance will require companies to apply the definition of a performance obligation under accounting standard codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination. Under current GAAP, an acquirer in a business combination is generally required to recognize and measure the assets it acquires and the liabilities it assumes at fair value on the acquisition date. The new guidance will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting Pronouncementsfor Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.
In June 2018,March 2020, the FinancialFASB issued ASU 2020-04 establishing Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as we transitioned from the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as LIBOR, to alternative references rates, as well as utilizing the aforementioned expedients and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accountingfor Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which expandssimplifies the scopeaccounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of Topic 718accounting models available for convertible debt instruments.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when a change to the termsended June 30, 2022, have had or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842,Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11,Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10,Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01,Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.
The new standard became effective January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.
The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases. The new standard did not have a material impact.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since ASU 2014-09 was issued, several additional ASUs have been issued to clarify various elements of the guidance. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the new standard to be effective upon inception. We have completed an initial evaluation of the potential impact from adopting the new standard, including a detailed review of performance obligations for all material revenue streams. Based on this initial evaluation, adoption does not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Related disclosures have been expanded in line with the requirements of the standard.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effectsignificant impact on itsthe Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.statements.

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019, the Company has2022, our balance of cash on hand of $212,385, awas $54,797, and we had negative working capital deficit of $745,796$1,800,626 and an accumulated deficit of $4,608,726,$21,217,884. We are too early in our development stage to project future revenue levels, and the Company’s cash on hand may not be able to generate sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing its cannabis cultivation activities and expects to begin revenue generating export operations in

Note 53 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet as of June 30, 20192022 and December 31, 2018,2021, respectively:

The Company also leases a residential premise under a non-cancelable real property lease agreement that commenced on September 1, 2021 and expires on August 31, 2024, at a monthly lease term of 3,800,000 COP, or approximately $1,013 USD, with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 1, 2022.
The Company leases another residential premise under a non-cancelable real property lease agreement that commenced on June 1, 2022 and expires on May 30, 2024, at a monthly lease term of 1,900,000 COP, or approximately $507 USD, with an 8% annual escalation of lease payments commencing June 1, 2023.
In addition, the Company leases its corporate offices and operational facility in Colombia under short-term non-cancelable real property lease agreements that expire within a year. The Company doesn’t have any other office or equipment leases that would require capitalization. The extraction facility and office leases contain provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. In the locations in which it is economically feasible to continue to operate, management expects to enter into a new lease upon expiration. The extraction facility lease contains provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018,2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period from inception (March 27, 2018) toended December 31, 2018,2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 audit 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 audits 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.
Critical Audit Matter

The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Convertible Preferred Stock
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 215, the Company has complex financial instruments due to the issued and outstanding preferred stock, resulting in the classification of the financial statements,instruments outside of permanent equity due to the Company sufferedterms of the instruments. Given the factors, the related audit effort in evaluating management’s judgments in determining the appropriate classification was extensive and required a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters are also discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcomehigh degree of this uncertainty.auditor judgment.
We tested the Company’s classification of the financial instruments by examining and evaluating the agreements along with management’s evaluation of the key terms and management’s disclosure of the transactions.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from thosethese estimates.
Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
- | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
- | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
- | Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement. |
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payables and accrued expenses are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with various financial institutions in Columbia, and all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. We have not held any cash equivalents to date.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000,$250,000, under current regulations. The Company did notnot have any fundscash in excess of FDIC insured limits at December 31, 2018,2021, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Inventory
Property and Equipment
Property and equipmentInventories are stated at the lower of cost less accumulated depreciation, and we depreciate itor net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of cannabis flower grown in-house, along with produced extracts.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line basis overmethod based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered, or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company has adoptedin accordance with 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. WeThe Company’s sales to date have not yet generated any revenue.primarily consisted of the sale of seeds. These sales include multi-element arrangements whereby the Company collects 50% of the sale upon delivery of the sales, and the remaining 50% upon the completion of the harvest, whether the seeds result in a successful crop, or not. In addition, the Company has a right of first refusal to purchase products resulting from the harvest. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $30,164 of deferred revenues and $19,470 of deferred cost of goods sold, as included in other current assets on the balance sheet, that are expected to be recognized upon the customers’ completion of their harvests in 2022.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising and promotions expense was $137,915 and $143,341 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented,years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018,From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)No. 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which expandssimplifies the scopeaccounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of Topic 718accounting models available for convertible debt instruments.

The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU 2020-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.
In May 2020, the SEC adopted final rules that amend the financial statement requirements for significant business acquisitions and dispositions. Among other changes, the final rules modify the significance tests and improve the disclosure requirements for acquired or to be acquired businesses and related pro forma financial information, the periods those financial statements must cover, and the form and content of the pro forma financial information. The final rules do not modify requirements for the acquisition and disposition of significant amounts of assets that do not constitute a business. The final rules were effective January 1, 2021. The Company has considered these final rules and updated its financial statements.disclosures, as applicable.

In February 2018,November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02,Reclassification2019-12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are part of Certain Tax Effectsan initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The guidance permits entitiesTopic 740 and making minor improvements to reclassify tax effects stranded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as a result of tax reform to retained earnings. This new guidance isthe codification. ASU 2019-12 and its related amendments are effective for annualpublic entities for fiscal years, and interim periods inwithin those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in annual and interim periods and can be applied retrospectively or in the period of adoption.2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoptionprovisions of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842,Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11,Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10,Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01,Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.
The new standard will be effective January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company expects to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 using the effective date as of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company expects to elect the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.
While the Company continues to assess all of the effects of adoption, it currently believes that most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company currently expects to elect the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since ASU 2014-09 was issued, several additional ASUs have been issued to clarify various elements of the guidance. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the new standard to be effective upon inception. We have completed an initial evaluation of the potential impact from adopting the new standard, including a detailed review of performance obligations for all material revenue streams. Based on this initial evaluation, adoption doesupdate did not have a material impact on ourthe Company’s financial position or results of operations, or cash flows. Related disclosures have been expanded in line with the requirements of the standard.operations.
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.

Note 64 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 12 – Leases
The Company’s corporate offices and operational facility in Colombia under short-term non-cancelable real property lease agreements that expire within a year. The Company doesn’t have any other office or equipment leases subject to the recently adopted ASU 2016-02. In the locations in which it is economically feasible to continue to operate, management expects that lease options will be exercised. The Company’s corporate office is under a real property lease that contains a one-time renewal option for an additional 36 months that was amended to enable the Company to extend the lease for 12 months instead of 36 months. The Company is reasonably certain that it will not extend the lease beyond its extended term of October 31, 2022. The office lease contains provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERSOFFICERS.
We are a Nevada corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes and certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws under certain circumstances provide for indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling persons against liabilities which they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained herein, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our bylaws and to the statutory provisions.
In general, any officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified against expenses, fines, settlements or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding to which such person is a party, if that person is not liable due to conduct that constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and that person’s actions were in good faith, were believed to be in our best interest, and were not unlawful. Indemnification may not be made for any claim as to which the person seeking indemnity has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to our company unless the court in which the action or suit was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction determines that in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court deems proper. Unless such person is successful upon the merits in such an action, indemnification may be awarded only after a determination by independent decision of our board of directors, by legal counsel, or by a vote of our stockholders, that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the person to be indemnified. Under our articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws , we will advance expenses incurred by officers, directors, employees or agents who are parties to or are threatened to made parties to any threatened, pending or completed action by reason of the fact that such person was serving in such capacity, prior to the disposition of such action and promptly following request therefor, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such advances if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
The circumstances under which indemnification is granted in connection with an action brought on our behalf is generally the same as those set forth above; however, with respect to such actions, indemnification is granted only with respect to expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the action. Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to the terms of agreements which may be entered in the future or pursuant to a vote of stockholders or directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes also grant us the power to purchase and maintain insurance which protects our officers and directors against any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such a position, and we have obtained such a policy.
A stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding which indemnification by us is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
