AGRITEK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2016

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization

Business

Agritek Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Agritek”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Agritek Venture Holdings, Inc. (“AVHI”), 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 and a line of innovative solutions for electronically processing merchant transactions.

On May 23, 2016, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (a “Certificate of Amendment”), increasing the authorized capital of the Company to 1,001,000,000 shares of capital stock; consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock par value $0.0001 and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01. The majority of the Company’s shareholders consented to the Certificate of Amendment increasing the authorized capital.

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. 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 unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2015 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of Agritek 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 intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

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, 2016, based on the above criteria, the Company has a full allowance for doubtful accounts of $43,408.

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 straight-line method through the maturities of the related debt.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, 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 as charges or credits to income.

For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt.  These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Original Issue Discount

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount.  The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Marketable Securities

The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred.

Investment of Non-Marketable Securities

The Company’s investment in non-marketable securities consist of cash investments in a less than 10% interest in two privately held companies that provide merchant processing services. Petrogress, Inc. (formerly 800 Commerce, Inc. and a subsidiary of the Company through its’ deconsolidation in May 2012) derived substantially all of its’ revenues, through April 2015, from these privately held companies.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and except for land, depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method 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. In November 2015, the Company was made aware that the land transaction regarding 80 acres in Pueblo County, Colorado, may not have been properly deeded to the Company. The company was a party to the land purchase, however, it was recently discovered, and the second party to the land contract never filed the original quit claim deed on behalf of the Company, even though a copy of the notarized quit claim deed was sent to the Company. To date, the Company has paid a total of $47,438 ($36,000 at closing) and is on the deed of trust of the property with a remaining note balance of approximately $75,000 held by the original owner. Accordingly, until the deed is properly recorded, the Company reduced the remaining balance of the note payable for the acquisition of the land of $74,313 and recorded a reserve allowance for the remaining balance of the asset of $54,490. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: 

The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Depreciation expense of $1,173 and $2,625 was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $692 and $2,075 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

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. Based on events and changes in circumstances in the nine months ending September 30, 2015, the Company reviewed the carrying amount of goodwill initially recorded from an acquisition in September 2014, and determined that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and accordingly recognized an impairment loss of $192,849 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

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. No revenue has been recognized from leasing arrangements to date.

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.

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 2005 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, 2016 there were warrants and options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 485,848,122 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, 2016, the Company recorded stock and warrant based compensation of $0 and $2,371, respectively compared to $94,370 and $551,475 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. (See Note 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising

The Company records advertising costs as incurred. For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2016, advertising expense was $321 and $6,321, respectively, compared to $25,756 and $63,510 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note 4 – Impairment of Goodwill

On September 12, 2014, the Company completed the asset acquisition of the entire line of products, technology and customers of Dry Vapes Holdings, Inc.

The Company recorded the acquisition using the acquisition method, which requires the Company to record the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (if any) at their acquisition date fair values and record any excess of the consideration given, including liabilities assumed (if any) over the fair value of the assets acquired as goodwill. The acquired assets consisted solely of inventory. The transaction resulted in the Company recording goodwill of $192,849. Based on events and changes in circumstances in the nine months ending September 30, 2015, the Company reviewed the carrying amount of the goodwill, and determined that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and accordingly recognized an impairment loss of $192,849 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Note 5 – Sales Concentration and Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash

Financial   instruments   that   potentially   subject   the   Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insured institution insures up to $250,000 on account balances.

Sales and Accounts Receivable

Following is a summary of customers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2016:

Purchases

Note 6 – Convertible Debt and Note Payable

2014 Convertible Note

In January 2014, the Company entered into a Secured Promissory Note for $1,660,000 (the “2014 Company Note”) to Tonaquint, Inc. (“Tonaquint”) which includes a purchase price of $1,500,000 and transaction costs of $160,000. On January 31, 2014, the Company received $300,000 of the purchase price. Tonaquint also issued to the Company 6 secured promissory notes, each in the amount of $200,000 (the 2014 “Investor Notes”). All or any portion of the outstanding balance of the 2014 Investor Notes may be prepaid, without penalty, along with accrued but unpaid interest at any time prior to maturity. The Company has no obligation to pay Tonaquint any amounts on the unfunded portion of the 2014 Company Note. The 2014 Company Note bears interest at 8% per annum (increases to 22% per annum upon an event of default) and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at Tonaquint’s option at a price of $0.55 per share, exercisable in seven tranches, consisting of a first tranche of $340,000 of principal and any interest, fees costs or charges, and six additional tranches of $220,000 each, plus any interest, costs, fees or charges.

Beginning on the date that is six (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 is to pay the Holder, the applicable Installment Amount due on such date. Ten Installment Amounts of $166,000 plus the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs or charges 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. The 2014 Company Note matured fifteen months after the Issuance Date.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received an additional $800,000 of the purchase price and an additional $200,000 (including $21,188 of interest) during the year ended December 31, 2015. On December 16, 2015, the Company and AVHI, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary entered into a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement (the “DLF Agreement”) with Tonaquint, pursuant to which in exchange for the Company conveying its’ interest in the Company’s Nevada owned real estate (the “Property”), Tonaquint agreed to refrain and forbear from exercising and enforcing its remedies under their 2014 Convertible Note. Additionally, the Company received $25,000 and a reduction of the Note balance of $500,000. AVHI had a cost of approximately $224,466 for the Property.

As of the date of the DLF Agreement, the Company and Tonaquint agreed to offset the remaining unpaid principal balance of the Investor Notes of $176,642 to the Note. The parties further agreed that accrued and unpaid interest of $316,723 would be added to the Note and each party confirmed that the Note balance as of the DLF Agreement was $311,815. As of December 31, 2015, $311,815 of principal and accrued interest of $1,041 is outstanding on the 2014 Company Note.

On January 19, 2016, the Company accepted and agreed to a Debt Purchase Agreement (the “DPA”), whereby LG Capital Funding, LLC (“LG”) acquired $157,500 of the Tonaquint 2014 Convertible Note in exchange for $75,000.

The Second Replacement Note is due January 19, 2017 and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the discretion of LG at a variable conversion price (“VCP”). The VCP is calculated as the lowest trading price during the eighteen (18) trading days immediately prior to the conversion date multiplied by fifty eight percent (58%), representing a forty two percent (42%) discount. The principal balance of the note as of September 30, 2016 is $157,500.

On January 19, 2016, the Company accepted and agreed to a DPA, whereby Cerebrus Finance Group, LTD (“Cerebrus”) acquired $154,315 of principal and $2,434 of accrued and unpaid interest of the Tonaquint 2014 Convertible Note in exchange for $75,000.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 7,587,824 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $8,613 of principal and $629 accrued and unpaid interest on the Vis Vires Note (assigned to LG).

In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 17,844,348 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $23,500 of principal and $4,002 accrued and unpaid interest on the 2015 GW Note. The shares were issued at approximately $0.00161 per share. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the principal balance of the GW note is $0 and $23,500, respectively.

The shares were issued at approximately $0.0013 per share. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the principal balance of the LG Note was $0 and $65,500, respectively.

On March 30, 2015, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note for $27,000 to Service Trading Company, LLC (“Service”). On April 6, 2015, the Company received net proceeds of $25,000 after debt issuance costs of $2,000 paid for lender legal fees. The Note matured on March 30, 2016 and converted at a 42% discount to the market price as defined in the Note. In the nine months ending September 30, 2016, the Company issued 16,993,388 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $22,500 of principal and $1,990 accrued and unpaid interest on the 2015 Service Note. The shares were issued at approximately $0.001441 per share. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the principal balance of the Service Note was $0 and $22,500, respectively.

The debt issuance costs included in the 2015 Convertible Notes were amortized over the earlier of the terms of the Note or any redemptions and have been expensed as debt issuance costs (included in interest expense).

Among other terms the 2015 Notes are due nine to twelve 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 39% - 42% 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 to eighteen trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the 2015 Convertible 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 2015 Convertible Notes provide 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 2015 Convertible Notes represent an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the 2015 Convertible Notes were not considered to be conventional debt under ASC 815-40 (formerly EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock) 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 is 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 are 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 2015 Convertible Notes resulted in an initial debt discount of $211,750, an initial derivative liability expense of $71,761 and an initial derivative liability of $283,511.

2016 Convertible Notes

On January 19, 2016, the Company completed the closing of a private placement financing transaction with LG, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “LG Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the LG Purchase Agreement, LG purchased an 8% Convertible Debenture (the “LG Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $76,080, and delivered on January 31, 2016, gross proceeds of $62,500 excluding transaction costs, fees, and expenses.

On January 19, 2016, the Company completed the closing of a private placement financing transaction with Cerebrus, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Cerebrus Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cerebrus Purchase Agreement, Cerebrus purchased an 8% Convertible Debenture (the “Cerebrus Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $34,775, and delivered on January 25, 2016, gross proceeds of $25,000 excluding transaction costs, fees, and expenses.

On March 23, 2016, the Company completed the closing of a private placement financing transaction with Cerebrus, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Cerebrus Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cerebrus Purchase Agreement, Cerebrus purchased an 8% Convertible Debenture (the “Cerebrus Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $22,000, and delivered on March 31, 2016, gross proceeds of $20,000 excluding transaction costs, fees, and expenses.

On April 15, 2016, the Company completed the closing of a private placement financing transaction with LG, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “LG Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the LG Purchase Agreement, LG purchased an 8% Convertible Debenture (the “LG Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $65,625, and delivered on April 15, 2016, gross proceeds of $62,500 excluding transaction costs, fees, and expenses.

On July 14, 2016, the Company completed the closing of a private placement financing transaction with LG, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “LG Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the LG Purchase Agreement, LG purchased an 8% Convertible Debenture (the “LG Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $65,625, and delivered on July 14, 2016, gross proceeds of $62,500 excluding transaction costs, fees, and expenses.

On August 1, 2016, the Company completed the closing of a private placement financing transaction with Cerebrus, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Cerebrus Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cerebrus Purchase Agreement, Cerebrus purchased an 8% Convertible Debenture (the “Cerebrus Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $22,000, and delivered on August 1, 2016, gross proceeds of $20,000 excluding transaction costs, fees, and expenses.

Principal and interest on the above six convertible debentures is due and payable one year from their respective funding date, and the LG and Cerebrus Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the discretion of LG and Cerebrus, respectively, at a VCP. The VCP is calculated as the lowest trading price during the eighteen (18) trading days immediately prior to the conversion date multiplied by fifty eight percent (58%), representing a forty two percent (42%) discount.

The Company may prepay the LG and/or the Cerebrus Debentures, subject to prior notice to the holder within an initial 30 day period after issuance, by paying an amount equal to 118% multiplied by the amount that the Company is prepaying. For each additional 30 day period the amount being prepaid is multiplied by an additional 6%, up to a maximum of 148% on the 180^th day from issuance. Beginning on the 180^th day after the issuance of the Debentures, the Company is not permitted to prepay the Debenture, so long as the Debenture is still outstanding, unless the Company and the holder agree otherwise in writing.

The Company determined that the conversion feature of the 2016 Convertible Notes represent an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the 2016 Convertible Notes were not considered to be conventional debt under ASC 815-40 (formerly EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock) 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 is 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 are 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 2016 Convertible Notes resulted in an initial debt discount of $653,968, an initial derivative liability expense of $496,614 and an initial derivative liability of $1,150,582.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company revalued the embedded conversion feature of the 2015 and 2016 Convertible Notes. The fair value of the 2015 and 2016 Convertible Notes was calculated at September 30, 2016 based on the Black Scholes method consistent with the terms of the related debt.

A summary of the derivative liability balance as of September 30, 2016 is as follows:

The fair value at the commitment date for the 2016 Convertible Notes and the re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of September 30, 2016:

A summary of the convertible notes payable balance as of September 30, 2016 is as follows:

The promissory note is being amortized on the basis of five (5) years, with principal payments of $17,150 plus interest at 3.5% due annually on December 1 of each year. Payments begin December 1, 2014, and shall be due on the first day of each succeeding December, with any balance of principal and accrued interest due December 1, 2020. On March 4, 2015, and May 4, 2015, the Company paid $9,000 and $2,437, respectively, of the December 1, 2014 amount. As of September 30, 2015, the balance of note is $74,313, including a past due amount of $5,713 of the December 2014 amount due. In November 2015, the Company was made aware that the land transaction regarding 80 acres in Pueblo County, Colorado, may not have been properly deeded to the Company. The company was a party to the land purchase, however, it was then discovered the second party to the land contract never filed the original quit claim deed on behalf of the Company, even though a copy of the notarized quit claim deed was sent to the Company. To date, the Company has paid a total of $47,438 ($36,000 at closing) and is on the deed of trust of the property. Accordingly, until the deed is properly recorded, the Company reduced the remaining balance of the note payable for the acquisition of the land of $74,313 and during the year ended December 31, 2015, recorded a reserve allowance for the remaining balance of the asset of $54,490.

We do not have cash and cash equivalents on hand to meet our obligations. We presently maintain our daily operations and capital needs through the sale of our products and financings available to us from lenders.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2016, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is attempting to produce sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to produce sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds.

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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. 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 unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2015 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of Agritek 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 intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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, 2016, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $44,068.

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. No revenue has been recognized from leasing arrangements to date.

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.

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, 2016 there were warrants and options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 485,848,122 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2016 due to a control deficiency. During the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. Due to the size and operations of the Company, we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another company.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
