Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Cannabis Global, Inc. is located at 520 S. Grand Avenue, Suite 320, Los Angeles, California 90071. Our telephone number is (310) 986-4929 and our website is accessible at www.cannabisglobalinc.com. Our shares of Common Stock are quoted on the OTC Markets Pink Tier, operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the ticker symbol “CBGL.”
Historical Development
We incorporated in Nevada in 2005 under the name MultiChannel Technologies Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Octillion Corporation, a development stage technology company focused on the identification, acquisition and development of emerging solar energy and solar related technologies. In April, 2005, we changed our name to MicroChannel Technologies, Inc., and in June, 2008, began trading on the OTC Markets under the trading symbol “MCTC.” Our business focused on research and development of a patented intellectual properties combining physical, chemical and biological cues at the “cellular” level to facilitate peripheral nerve regeneration.
On June 27, 2018, we changed domiciles from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware, and thereafter reorganized under the Delaware Holding Company Statute. On or about July 12, 2018, we formed two subsidiaries for the purpose of effecting the reorganization. We incorporated MCTC Holdings, Inc. and MCTC Holdings Inc. incorporated MicroChannel Corp. We then effected a merger involving the three constituent entities, and under the terms of the merger we were merged into MicroChannel Corp., with MicroChannel Corp. surviving and our separate corporate existence ceasing. Following the merger, MCTC Holdings, Inc. became the surviving publicly traded issuer, and all of our assets and liabilities were merged into MCTC Holdings, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary MicroChannel Corp. Our shareholders became the shareholders of MCTC Holdings, Inc. on a one for one basis.
On May 25, 2019, Lauderdale Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and beneficial owner 70.7% of our issued and outstanding common stock, sold 130,000,000 common shares, to Mr. Robert Hymers, Mr. Edward Manolos and Mr. Dan Nguyen, all of whom were previously unaffiliated parties of the Company. Each individual purchased 43,333,333 common shares for $108,333,333 or an aggregate of $325,000. These series of transactions constituted a change in control.
On August 9, 2019, we filed a DBA in California registering the operating name Cannabis Global. On July 1, 2019, the Company entered into a 100% business acquisition with Action Nutraceuticals, Inc., a company owned by our CEO, Arman Tabatabaei in exchange for $1,000 (see “Related Party Transactions”).
Subsequent to the closing of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2019, we affected a reverse split of our common shares effective as of September 30, 2019 at the rate of 1:15.
On September 11, 2019, we formed a subsidiary Aidan & Co, Inc. (“Aidan”) a California corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Aidan will be engaged in various related business opportunities. At this time Aidan has no operations.
On December 4, 2019, our shareholders approved and authorized (i) re-domiciling the Company from Delaware to Nevada; (ii) changing the name of the Company from MCTC Holdings, Inc. to Cannabis Global, Inc.; and, (iii) seeking a corresponding change of name and new trading symbol for the Company with FINRA.
8 |
On March 30, 2020, we filed Articles of Conversion with the Delaware Secretary of State, electing to convert and re-domicile the Company from a Delaware corporation to a newly formed Nevada corporation named Cannabis Global, Inc. Concurrently, the Registrant filed Articles of Incorporation and Articles of Domestication with the Nevada Secretary of State incorporating the Registrant in Nevada under the name Cannabis Global, Inc. and accepting the re-domicile of Registrant’s Delaware corporation. There was no change to the Registrant’s fiscal year end. As a result of our FINRA corporate action, our name was changed to Cannabis Global, Inc. and our trading symbol changed to “CBGL.”
On April 18, 2020, we formed a subsidiary Hemp You Can Feel, Inc., a California corporation (“HYCF”), as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. HYCF will be engaged in various related business opportunities. At this time HYCF has no operations.
On May 6, 2020, we signed a joint venture agreement with RxLeaf, Inc. (“RxLeaf”) a Delaware corporation, creating a joint venture for the purpose of marketing the Company’s products to consumers.

Current Business Operations
Cannabis Global conducts research and development and operates multiple cannabis businesses in California and hemp-related business in the United States. We recently announced our acquisition of a 56.5%, controlling interest in Natural Plant Extract (NPE), which operates a licensed cannabis manufacturing and distribution business in Lynwood, California, holding a Type 7 California Manufacturing and a distribution license, allowing for cannabis product distribution anywhere in the state. We plan to use the Lynwood NPE operation, combined with our internally developed technologies, as a testbed to launch multi-state operations as soon as possible after the expected removal of cannabis as a Scheduled substance from the federal CSA is completed, and interstate commerce in cannabis is approved by the federal government. As of the date of this filing, cannabis remains a Schedule 1 controlled substance and so illegal under the CSA. However, As a result of the November, 2020 federal elections, and the election of Joseph R. Biden as president, it is expected that the federal government will move to amend parts of the CSA and de-schedule cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug. In late January, 2021, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said lawmakers are in the process of merging various cannabis bills, including his own legalization legislation. He is working to enact reform in this Congressional session. This would include the Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act, that would federally de-schedule cannabis, reinvest tax revenue into communities most affected by the drug war, and fund efforts to expunge prior cannabis records. It is likely that the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act would be incorporated. Other federal legislation under review for possible submission includes the SAFE Banking Act (or Secure and Fair Enforcement Act), a bill that would allow cannabis companies to access the federally-insured banking system and capital markets without the risk of federal enforcement action, and the Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States Act (or STATES Act), a bill that seeks protections for businesses and individuals in states that have legalized and comply with state laws).
Our operations at the Natural Plant Extract facility emphasizes cannabis product manufacturing and distribution. In addition to business opportunities available from cannabis product manufacturing and distribution to all parts of the State of California, we also sees strong synergies between NPE operations and our developing technologies in the areas of secure cannabis transport, cannabis infusions, and all-natural polymeric nanoparticle technologies.
We also have an active research and development program primarily focused on creating and commercializing engineered technologies that deliver hemp extracts and cannabinoids to the human body. Additionally we invest, or provide managerial services, in specialized areas of the regulated hemp and cannabis industries. Thus far, the Company has filed six provisional patents, three non-provisional patents and recently announced its "Comply Bag" secure cannabis transport system with integrated track and trace capabilities via smartphones, which will be available soon.
Our R&D programs included the following:
1. | Development of new routes and vehicles for hemp extract and cannabinoid delivery to the human body. |
2. | Production of unique polymeric nanoparticles and fibers for use in oral and dermal cannabinoid delivery. |
3. | Research and commercialization of new methodologies to isolate and/or concentrate various cannabinoids and other substances that comprise industrial hemp oil and other extracts. |
4. | Establishment of new methods to increase the bioavailability of cannabinoids to the human body utilizing nanoparticles and other proven bioenhancers, including naturally occurring and insect produced glycosides. |
5. | Development of other novel inventions for the delivery of cannabinoids to the human body, which at this time are considered trade secrets by the Company. |

Note 2. Going Concern Uncertainties
During recent financial reporting periods, the Company began reporting revenue and has been active in reorganizing its business operations, these revenues being generated are nominal. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,520,943 as of February 28, 2021, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities. Furthermore, as shown in the accompanying financial statements for six months ended February 28, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $2,463,994 and used cash in operations of $774,444. The Company expects to incur additional losses as it executes its business strategy in the cannabis, hemp and cannabinoid marketplaces. The Company will be subject to the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies. The Company may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so could cause the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition to suffer. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance date of these financial statements.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is an issue due to its net losses and negative cash flows from operations, and its need for additional financing to fund future operations. Management plans to obtain necessary funding from outside sources and through the sales of Company shares. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Based on the Company’s current level of expenditures, management believes that cash on hand is not adequate to fund operations for the next twelve months. Management of the Company is estimating approximately $1,000,000 will be required over the next twelve months to fully execute its business strategy. These can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain such funds.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those statements. We have made our best estimates of certain amounts contained in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. However, application of our accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates, assumptions, and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use a weighted average Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
12 |
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Action Nutraceuticals, Inc. and Aidan & Co, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.
Inventory
Inventory is primarily comprised of work in progress. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of February 28, 2021, and August 31, 2020, market values of all of our inventory were at cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowance was recognized.
Deposits
Deposits is comprised of advance payments made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which we have not yet taken title. When we take title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale (see “Costs of Revenues” below). There were no deposits as of February 28, 2021.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the contract or service period.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the net value of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and, based on a method of specific identification of any accounts receivable for which we deem the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances. In determining our need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, our actual experience may vary from our estimates. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay our fees, we may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that we collect retainers from our clients prior to performing significant services.
The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of February 28, 2021, and February 29, 2020, we had $0 and $0 allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.
13 |
Property and Equipment, net
Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed into service and is recognized over the estimated useful life. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.”
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and we amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer 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. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We determined to implement the cumulative effect adjustment approach to our implementation of FASB ASC Topic 606, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented. We intend to apply this method to any incomplete contracts we determine are subject to FASB ASC Topic 606 prospectively. As is more fully discussed below, we are of the opinion that none of our contracts for services or products contain significant financing components that require revenue adjustment under FASB ASC Topic 606.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we will recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a significant financing component exists in our consulting and product sales contracts. We examine and evaluate when our customers become liable to pay for goods and services; how much consideration is paid as compared to the cash selling price of the goods or services; and, the length of time between our performance and the receipt of payment.
14 |
Product Sales
Revenue from product sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained from the customer, the price is fixed and determinable when the order is placed, the product is shipped, and collectability is reasonably assured. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. Given the facts that (1) our customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product order; and, (2) the price negotiated in our product sales is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, we are not of the opinion that our product sales indicate or involve any significant customer financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the sales transaction, or would otherwise contain a significant financing component for us or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606.
Costs of Revenues
Our policy is to recognize the costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Costs of revenues include the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and include compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of restricted common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date. Stock-based compensation during the quarterly reporting period ended February 28, 2021 was $0.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the quarterly reporting periods ending February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, we incurred no income taxes and had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes.
Loss Contingencies
From time to time the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. On at least a quarterly basis, consistent with ASC 450-20-50-1C, if the Company determines that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred, or is reasonably estimable, regardless of whether the Company accrued for such a loss (or any portion of that loss), the Company will confer with its legal counsel, consistent with ASC 450. If the material loss is determinable or reasonably estimable, the Company will record it in its accounts and as a liability on the balance sheet. If the Company determines that such an estimate cannot be made, the Company's policy is to disclose a demonstration of its attempt to estimate the loss or range of losses before concluding that an estimate cannot be made, and to disclose it in the notes to the financial statements under Contingent Liabilities.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
We report net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
15 |
Note 4. Net Loss Per Share
During three and six months ending February 28, 2021 and February 28, the Company recorded a net loss. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for those periods. The dilutive weighted average shares for each period reported excludes the effect of shares issuable upon conversion of debt, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. As of February 28, 2021, the Company’s convertible debt was convertible into 13,385,151 shares of common stock.

Note 7. Acquisition of Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc.
NPE Acquisition
On August 21, 2020 the Company, issued a convertible note pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA) to acquire 266,667 shares of common stock of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc., a California corporation (“NPE”), representing 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE on a fully diluted basis. With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between the Registrant, or any of the Registrant’s affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, the Registrant acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, the registrant agreed to: 1) pay Hymers Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. The Holder shall have the right at any time six (6) months after the Issuance Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Registrant issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, the Company recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903.

During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $133,101 in exchange for accrued expenses owed to related parties, of which $79,333 is payable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and $53,768 is payable to the Robert L. Hymers III. The notes mature two years from the respective issuance date and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. The noteholders shall have the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a variable conversion price of 50% of the average of the previous twenty (20) trading day closing prices of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment. As a result of the variable conversion prices, upon issuance, the Company recognized total debt discount of $133,101, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. On May 22, 2020, the Chief Executive Officer converted $79,333 in principal and $2,608 of accrued interest into 694,902 shares of common stock to be issued having a fair value of $232,792. The conversion resulted in the elimination of $70,313 of remaining debt discount, the elimination of $231,632 of derivative liabilities, and a $10,468 gain on conversion that resulted from a related party and was therefore included in Additional paid-in capital. On December 9, 2020, Mr. Hymers converted all principal of $53,768 and all accrued interest of $4,626 into 878,190 shares of common stock.
On April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer (Robert L. Hymers III, hereinafter referred to as the “CFO”) whereby the CFO resigned and the Company issued a promissory note for $30,000, which represented the remaining amount owed to the CFO for services rendered. The note matures December 31, 2020 and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. The noteholder has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.02 per share, subject to adjustment. As a result of the beneficial conversion price, upon issuance, the Company recognized debt discount of $30,000, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. On October 9, 2020, Mr. Hymers converted the note payable into 1,500,000 shares of common stock.

On August 21, 2020 the Company, issued a convertible note pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA) to acquire 266,667 shares of common stock of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc., a California corporation (“NPE”), representing 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE on a fully diluted basis. With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between the Registrant, or any of the Registrant’s affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, the Registrant acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, the registrant agreed to: 1) pay Hymers Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. The Holder shall have the right at any time six (6) months after the Issuance Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Registrant issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, the Company recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903. At the time the note becomes convertible, the Company will recognize a derivative liability at fair value related to the embedded conversion option at that time. Prior to these transactions, Robert Hymers III and Alan Tsai each sold equity interest representing a total of 18.8% of the outstanding equity interest of NPE to Edward Manolos, a Director and preferred stockholder of the Company in a private transaction. As a result of these transactions, the Company beneficially controls approximately 56.5% of the equity of NPE. After this transaction, a Better World Ventures LLC controls 40% of the equity interests in NPE and one other entity controls 3.5%.
The Company is in default of the $540,000 note payable to Robert Hymers. On January 3, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Robert Hymers concerning five delinquent payments totaling $100,000, whereby 1,585,791 shares of common stock were issued in settlement of those payments. As of February 28, 2021, the Company missed two additionally $20,000 payments, i.e., January and February 2021 payments, and remains in default of this agreement.
Note 12. Derivative Liability and Far Value Measurement
Upon the issuance of the convertible promissory notes with variable conversion prices and fixed conversion prices with reset provisions, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded in the debentures should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.
At the issuance date of the convertible notes payable during the six months ended February 28, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of all embedded derivatives of $2,154,823 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 332% to 378%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.09% to 0.13%, and (4) expected life of one year.
On February 28, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $2,054,739 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 328%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.05% to 0.08%, and (4) expected life of 0.5 to 1 year.
25 |
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
• | Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets; |
• | Level 2 — Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities; and |
• | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities. |
All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
As of February 28, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.
26 |
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following items as of February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020:
February 28, 2021 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |||||||||||||
Derivative liability | $ | 2,054,739 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,054,739 | ||||||||
August 31, 2020 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |||||||||||||
Derivative liability | $ | 1,125,803 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,125,803 | ||||||||
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the six months ended February 28, 2021:
Balance, August 31, 2020 | $ | 1,125,803 | ||
Transfers in due to issuance of convertible promissory notes | 2,514,823 | |||
Transfers out due to repayments of convertible promissory notes | (1,255,220 | ) | ||
Transfers out due to conversions of convertible promissory notes | (276,975 | ) | ||
Change in derivative liability for the six months ended February 28, 2021 | (53,692 | ) | ||
Balance, February 28, 2021 | $ | 2,054,739 |
Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurement. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.
Note 13. Commitments, Contingencies and Leases
The Company has entered into a lease for a production and warehouse facility located in Los Angeles, California to produce such products.

Description of Business
Cannabis Global is a research and development company that also operates multiple cannabis businesses in California and hemp-related business in the United States. We are in the process of organizing business operations which will produce hemp products for international markets, and will supply transport technologies for shippers of hemp and cannabis.
We recently announced our acquisition a 56.5%, controlling interest in Natural Plant Extract (NPE), which operates a licensed cannabis manufacturing and distribution business in Lynwood, California, holding a Type 7 California Manufacturing and a distribution license, allowing for cannabis product distribution anywhere in the state. We plan to use the Lynwood NPE operation, combined with our internally developed technologies, as a testbed to launch multi-state operations as soon as possible after the expected removal of cannabis as a Scheduled substance from the federal CSA is completed, and interstate commerce in cannabis is approved by the federal government.
The Company recently commenced operations at the Natural Plant Extract facility effective immediately with emphasis on product manufacturing and distribution. In addition to business opportunities available from product manufacturing and distribution to all parts of the State of California.
Comply Bag™
Comply Bag™ features a multi-layer, low-density polyethylene outer shell that protects valuable shipments and allows manufacturers, buyers, and processors full view of contents to assess quality. Each Comply Bag™ contains financial institution-grade tamper-evident seams, self-sealing closures, and sequential numbering to ensure what is sent is what is received. In addition, because all U.S. states have implemented specific regulations for the tracking and tracing of cannabis shipments from seed to sale, Comply Bags™ features regulator demanded tracking features, such as those required in the California Cannabis Track-and-Trace (CCTT) system, including Unique Identifier Tags (UID) mandated by California via its contracted service provider, METRC, Inc.
Cannabis-Related Research and Development
Cannabis Global also has an active research and development program primarily focused on creating and commercialize engineered technologies delivering hemp extracts and cannabinoids to the human body. Additionally, we invest, or provide managerial services, in specialized areas of the regulated hemp and cannabis industries. Thus far, the Company has filed six provisional patents, three non-provisional patents and has recently announced its Comply Bag" secure cannabis transport system with integrated track and trace capabilities via smartphones which will be available soon.
Our R&D programs included the following;
1. | Development of new routes and vehicles for hemp extract and cannabinoid delivery to the human body. |
2. | Production of unique polymeric nanoparticles and fibers for use in oral and dermal cannabinoid delivery. |
3. | Research and commercialization of new methodologies to isolate and/or concentrate various cannabinoids and other substances that comprise industrial hemp oil and other extracts. |
4. | Establishment of new methods to increase the bioavailability of cannabinoids to the human body utilizing nanoparticles and other proven bioenhancers, including naturally occurring and insect produced glycosides. |
5. | Development of other novel inventions for the delivery of cannabinoids to the human body, which at this time are considered trade secrets by the Company. |
The Company’s strategy is to develop a growing portfolio of intellectual property relating to the processing of hemp extracts and cannabinoids into forms that are easily and efficiently delivered to the human body and to companion animals.

Electrosprayed and Electrospun Cannabinoid Compositions
The application addresses new methods for the creation of highly bioavailable and ultra-fast acting polymeric nanoparticles and nano fibers of cannabinoids for use in beverages, food, topical, and other applications.
The non-provisional application expands on the developments and technologies outlined in the provisional applications that were filed on November 4, 2019.
November 4, 2020, the Company filed an application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) seeking international protection of the Electrosprayed and Electrospun Cannabinoid Compositions and Process to Produce inventions.
The Company believes this technology holds significant advantages over legacy cannabis infusion technologies. For example:
1) While legacy infusion technologies generally rely on chemicals to maintain stability, the Company invented a chemical free method utilizing only two ingredients. Surfactants and stabilizers are not needed.
2) The technology allows manufacturers to use only two ingredients (the “Two Ingredient Method”). Surfactants and stabilizers are not needed. This allows for the production of products with “Clean Labels”.
3) Utilizing the "Two-Ingredient" method, food, beverage, and consumer product formulators can add cannabinoids using very small amounts of product, as each of the two ingredients make up about 50% of the product. For example, the technology allows manufacturers of cannabis-infused foods to add as little as 20 milligrams of material to dose psychoactive cannabinoids at the 10 milligram legal limit within most states. Cannabis Global expects to significantly improve this already high 50% loading rate over the next few months, with loading rates of up to 75% expected.
4) by reducing cannabinoid particle sizes to nanometer proportions, ultra-high levels of active ingredients get absorbed into the body in very short periods of time. This allows formulators to use cannabis to gain a desired effect, which can result in significant cost saving, especially relating to the rare cannabinoids, which sell at many times more than common cannabinoids, such as CBD or THC.
There can be no assurance any patent protection will be provided, or that we will be successful in protecting our patents if issued. |
32 |
Animal Based Cannabosides
• | On January 18, 2021, the Company filed a non-provisional patent on a novel method to produce water-soluble cannabinoids. The invention relates to a composition comprising one or more cannabosides and a method of producing one or more cannabosides. In particular, by feeding an insect a cannabinoid and harvesting the insect, excluding honey bees, to improve aqueous solubility and stability of cannabinoids. The patent claims coverage of both the process to create the compounds, and the use of the compounds in foodstuffs and pharmaceutical preparations.
We believe this set of technologies represents a new class of nature-based cannabinoid preparations. This technology is separate from our chemical free Two Ingredient nanoparticle and nano fiber infusion technologies for which we filed a patent application during November of 2002. We believe both sets of technologies are consistent with our corporate objective to introduce novel chemical free cannabinoid infusion technologies to the cannabis and hemp marketplaces.
On January 18, 2021, the Company filed an application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) seeking international protection of a composition comprising one or more cannabosides and a method of producing one or more cannabosides.
There can be no assurance any patent protection will be provided, or that we will be successful in protecting our patents if issued.

Competition
We are entering markets that are highly competitive.
Relative to our prospects for commercializing polymeric nanoparticles and nanofibers, there are many competitors with various approaches to cannabinoid infusion for foods, beverages and other consumer products. While these currently available technologies are not directly competitive with us, such technologies may be viewed as being directly competitive by the marketplace in the future. Many of the current market participants are well established with considerable financial backing. We expect the quality and composition of the competitive market in the hemp processing environment to continue to evolve as the industry matures. Additionally, increased competition is possible to the extent that new states and geographies enter into the marketplace as a result of continued enactment of regulatory and legislative changes that de-criminalize and regulate cannabis and hemp products, including the 2018 Farm Bill. We believe the contemporaneous growth of the industry as a whole will result in new customers entering the marketplace, thereby further mitigating the impact of competition on our expected operations and results relating to our hemp processing businesses.

Relative to our non-psychoactive cannabis extract powdered drink business, there are relatively few market participants in this sector, but management of the Company believes the competitive situation will advance quickly over the coming months as new companies target this potentially lucrative market opportunity. Additionally, while large beverage industry participants have yet to launch products in this area, we believe such market entrances are likely as the regulatory environment is clarified by the FDA. This could significantly affect our ability to achieve market success.
We believe the contemporaneous growth of the cannabis beverage sector and the industry as a whole will result in new customers entering the marketplace, thereby further mitigating the impact of competition on our expected operations and results relating to hemp cultivation and processing business and joint venture.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely and reliable financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As of the quarter ended February 28, 2021, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer completed an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), to determine the existence of any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant's financial reporting.
Based on that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective as of February 28, 2021.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On November 22, 2019, the Company filed suit against Jeet Sidhru and Jatinder Bhogal in the District Court of Clark County Nevada, Case number A-19-805943-C. Mr. Sidhru and Mr. Bhogal were formerly directors and officers of the Company. The Company’s complaint alleges that Mr. Sidhru and Mr. Bhogal breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including their fiduciary duties of due care, good faith and loyalty, by recklessly and intentionally failing to maintain the Company’s statutory corporate filings with the State of Nevada, OTC Markets and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and abandoning the Company and its shareholders. The Company’s complaint also alleges that Mr. Sidhru and Mr. Bhogal engaged in conflicted transactions involving the Company, in which each were unjustly enriched. The Company served Mr. Bhogal, and received notice of representation of both defendants. The case is currently in its early phase, as neither defendant has answered the complaint.
