NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
BUSINESS
Agritek Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Agritek”), formerly known as Mediswipe, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Agritek Venture Holdings, Inc., acquires and leases real estate to licensed marijuana operators, including providing complete turnkey growing space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers and dispensary owners. Additionally, the Company offers a variety of services and product lines to the medicinal marijuana sector including the distribution of hemp based nutritional products, a line of innovative solutions for electronically processing merchant transactions and recently, the Company began importing and distributing vaporizers and e-cigarettes under the Company's Mont Blunt brand.
The Company does not grow, harvest, distribute or sell marijuana or any substances that violate the laws of the United States of America.
On March 18, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of 80 acres zoned for agricultural use in Pueblo County, Colorado. The Company plans to lease individual parcels of the 80 acre parcel to fully-licensed and compliant growers and dispensaries within the regulated medicinal and recreational market of Colorado. The Company will receive rents and management fees for providing infrastructure, water, electricity, equipment leasing and security services.
On April 28, 2014, the Company executed and closed a lease agreement for 20 acres of an agricultural farming facility located in South Florida following the approval of the so-called “Charlotte’s Web” legislation, aimed at decriminalizing low grade marijuana specifically for the use of treating epilepsy and cancer patients. Pursuant to the lease agreement, through November 1, 2014, the Company had an option to purchase the land for $1,100,000, which it did not exercise, and maintains a first right of refusal to purchase the property for three years.
On July 11, 2014, the Company signed a ten year lease agreement for an additional 40 acres in Pueblo, Colorado, now bringing total land holdings in the country's first recreational cannabis state to over 120 acres zoned for its planned agricultural and cultivation facilities located in Pueblo County, Colorado. The lease requires monthly rent payments of $10,000 during the first year and is subject to a 2% annual increase over the life of the lease. The lease also provides rights to 50 acres of certain tenant water rights for $50,000 annually plus cost of approximately $2,400 annually. The water rights ensure the Company’s non-interruption of operations on behalf of new tenants qualified as fully registered and licensed grow and manufacturing operations.
On July 26, 2014, the Company executed a Real Property Purchase Agreement to acquire approximately 3.2 acres for $224,000, in the Apex Industrial Park Complex, otherwise known as Nevada “Green Zone”. The closing of the property is expected to occur no later than November 30, 2014. The Company has also entered into a 99 year lease agreement with My Life Organics, Inc. (“My Life”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the lease, My Life will begin paying rent, six months after the Company receives a Certificate of Occupancy and has met all other occupancy conditions, equal to 20% of the gross receipts from the prior month. My Life has been issued a provisional license for cultivation of marijuana to be grown on the Company’s property.
On September 12, 2014, the Company completed the asset acquisition of the entire line of products, technology and customers of Dry Vapes Holdings, Inc. (“Dry Vapes”). Dry Vapes is an importer, marketer and distributor of innovative vaporizers and accessories with over 11,000 social network followers. Dry Vapes has historically sold its’ product under the logo DV on eBay and other websites. The Company plans to morph the entire DV line of products into the "Mont Blunt" brand name and market it to Brick and Mortar smoke shops nationally in the upcoming months. The company will operate the business under its’ wholly owned subsidiary Prohibition Products, Inc. (“PPI”). See Note 2.
The Company is continuing its focus to acquire real property through purchase or lease, and subsequently lease the real estate to licensed marijuana and/or dispensary owners.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and include the consolidated accounts of Agritek Holdings, Inc. and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries AVHI and Prohibition Products, Inc. (“PPI”). PPI a Florida corporation was originally formed on July 1 2013, as The American Hemp Trading Company, Inc. (“AHTC”) and on August 27, 2014, AHTC changed its’ name to PPI. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 1, 2014. Interim results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2013 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its customers upon the shipment of products. The allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term. As of September 30, 2014, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $43,408 and has recognized $16,654 in bad expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
INVENTORY
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through the maturities of the related debt.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and except for land, depreciation is provided by use of accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Office equipment, furniture and vehicles | 5 years |
Computer hardware and software | 3 years |
7 |
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which products are shipped or commissions are earned.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, note payable and convertible debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments. The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.
8 |
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.
Uncertain tax positions are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2010 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities, if any, outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2014 there were warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock, the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into 16,207,455 shares of common stock and 750,000 shares of Class B convertible preferred stock is convertible into 28,004,788 shares of common stock. These amounts are not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded stock and warrant based compensation of $214,000 and $264,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $32,183 and $3,253,197, respectively of stock and warrant based compensation (See Notes 7 and 8).
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND NOTE PAYABLE
Convertible Debt
On January 2, 2013, February 11, 2013, April 10, 2013, July 29, 2013 and October 16, 2013, the Company entered convertible note agreements (the “2013 Notes”) with Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”) for $37,500, $27,500, $27,500, $65,000 and $70,000, respectively. We received net proceeds of $214,000 from the 2013 Notes after debt issuance costs of $13,500 paid for lender legal fees. These debt issuance costs have been amortized over the earlier of the terms of the Note or any redemptions and accordingly $4,511 has been expensed as debt issuance costs (included in interest expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. There are no remaining debt issuance costs to be amortized.
Among other terms the 2013 Notes were due nine months from their issuance date, bearing interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or shares at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of common stock equal to 50% of the average of the lowest three trading prices (as defined in the note agreements) per share of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the 2013 Notes, the Company was required to pay interest at 22% per annum and the holders could at their option declare a Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the 2013 Notes provided for adjustments for dividends payable other than in shares of common stock, for reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock for another security or securities of the Company or pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets, where there is a change in control of the Company.
The Company determined that the conversion feature of the 2013 Notes represented an embedded derivative since the Notes were convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the 2013 Notes were not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments being recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to each Note. Such discount was being amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liability for derivative contracts were recorded in other income or expenses in the consolidated statements of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The embedded feature included in the 2013 Notes resulted in an initial debt discount of $227,500 and an initial loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $35,029 for a derivative liability initial balance of $262,529.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 760,375 shares of common stock in satisfaction of $135,000 of the 2013 Notes and $5,400 of accrued and unpaid interest. The shares were issued at approximately $0.18 per share. The fair value of the derivative liability on the dates of conversion totaling $175,575 was reclassified to paid-in-capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the 2013 Asher Notes have been fully satisfied.
On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC ("Typenex"), for the sale of an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of up to $667,500 (which includes Typenex legal expenses in the amount of $7,500 and a $60,000 original issue discount) (the “2013 Company Note”) for a purchase price of $600,000, consisting of $100,000 paid in cash at closing on May 21, 2013 (the “Initial Cash Purchase Price”) and five secured promissory notes, aggregating $500,000 (the “Investor Notes”), bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Three of the Investor Notes aggregating $300,000 were funded in 2013 and the two remaining Investor Notes of $100,000 each were funded in January 2014.
The 2013 Company Note included interest at the rate of 8% per annum, due in four equal monthly installments (the “Redemption Price”) beginning on the nine month anniversary of the initial funding. All interest and principal was to be repaid on February 21, 2014. The 2013 Company Note was convertible into common stock, at Typenex’s option, at a price of $0.055 per share. In the event the Company elected to prepay all or any portion of the 2013 Company Note, the Company was required to pay to Typenex an amount in cash equal to 125% multiplied by the sum of all principal, interest and any other amounts owing. Beginning on the date that is nine (6) months after the later of (i) the Issuance Date, and (ii) the date the Initial Cash Purchase Price is paid to the Company (the “Initial Installment Date”), and on each applicable Installment Date thereafter, the Company was to pay the Holder of this Note the applicable Installment Amount due on such date. Payments of the Installment Amount may be made (a) in cash (a “Company Redemption”), (b) by converting such Installment Amount into shares of Common Stock (a “Company Conversion”), or (c) by any combination of a Company Conversion and a Company Redemption so long as the entire amount of such Installment Amount due shall be converted and/or redeemed by the Company on the applicable Installment Date.
11 |
At any time prior to the payment of the applicable Redemption Price by the Company, the Holder had the option, in lieu of redemption, to cancel the Event of Default Redemption Notice by written notice to the Company (the “Redemption Cancellation Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of a Redemption Cancellation Notice, the Outstanding Balance of the Note as of the date of the Redemption Notice shall thereafter be due and payable upon demand, with payment of the Outstanding Balance being due ten (10) Trading Days after written demand therefor from the Holder; (y) the Conversion Price of this Note shall be automatically adjusted with respect to each conversion under this Note effected thereafter by the Holder to the lowest of (A) 75% of the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date of the Redemption Cancellation Notice, (B) the Market Price as of the date of the Redemption Cancellation Notice, (C) the then current Market Price, and (D) the then current Conversion Price.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at September 30, 2014 and 2013.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had a tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $1,356,000. Any unused portion of this carry forward expires in 2030. Utilization of this loss may be limited in the event of an ownership change pursuant to IRS Section 382.
