In such event the Conversion Price shall equal 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company.

On June 9, 2021, the parties amended their securities exchange agreement to delete the lock up leak out agreement, and the requirement to conduct quarterly reviews of each party’s respective stock price for purposes of evaluating whether additional share issuances are required to maintain the value of exchanged common shares equal to $650,000.

We issued the common stock pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, available to the Company by Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that it was an isolated issuance and did not involve a public offering of securities.

Current Business Operations
Cannabis Global manufactures and distributes various cannabis products via its majority ownership of Natural Plant Extract, Inc. and conducts research and development in the areas of hemp, cannabis and consumer food goods.
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.
On April 9, 2021, we entered into a distribution agreement with Lynwood Roads Delivery, LLC (”LDR”). LRD owns a regulatory permit issued by the City of Lynwood permitting commercial retailer non-storefront operation in Lynwood, California. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Natural Plant Extract of California, via is licensed Northern Lights Distribution, Inc. operation will distribute selected products for LDR.

On April 21, 2021, The Company began taking orders for its new product lines produced at the NPE facility, completing its initial product development phase.
On May 12, 2021, we entered into an agreement to operate a joint venture through a new Nevada corporation named MCOA Lynwood Services, Inc. The parties agreed to finance a regulated and licensed laboratory to produce various cannabis products under the legal framework outlined by the City of Lynwood, California, Los Angeles County and the State of California. The Registrant owns a controlling interest in Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc., which operates a licensed cannabis manufacturing operation in Lynwood, California. As its contribution the joint venture, MCOA agreed to purchase and install equipment for joint venture operations, which will then be rented to the joint venture, and also provide funding relating to marketing the products produced by the capital equipment. We agreed to provide use of NPE’s manufacturing and distribution licenses; access to its Lynwood, California facility; use of the specific areas within the Lynwood Facility suitable for the types of manufacturing selected by the joint venture; and, management expertise require to carry on the joint venture’s operations. Ownership of the joint venture was agreed to be 60% in us and 40% with MCOA. Royalties from profits realized as the result of sales of products from the joint venture was also agreed to be distributed as 60% to us and 40% to MCOA. Development of the joint venture is ongoing and is considered in the development stage.
Our research and development 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 our trade secrets. |

Note 2. Going Concern Uncertainties
During this financial reporting period, the Company reported revenues representing
a significant historical increase over previous fiscal periods which we do not consider nominal as compared to previously disclosed revenues.
Although our revenues are now growing, we are still not generating positive operational cash flow.
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,329,224 as of May 31, 2021. Furthermore, as shown in the accompanying financial statements for nine months ended May 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $5,179,957 and used cash in operations of $1,186,087. 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 $2,500,000 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.
16 |
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.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Action Nutraceuticals, Inc. and Aidan & Co, Inc. and Natural Plant Extract of California, 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 May 31, 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 May 31, 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.
17 |
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 May 31, 2021, and May 31, 2020, we had $0 and $0 allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.
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.
18 |
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.
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 May 31, 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 May 31, 2021 and February 28, 2021, 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.
Note 4. Net Loss Per Share
During three and nine months ending May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, 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 May 31, 2021, the Company carried convertible notes with
a carrying value of $1,103,654 that are convertible into 43,842,930 shares of common stock.

With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between us, or any of our affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, we 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, we agreed to: 1) pay Hymers twenty thousand 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”).

On May 12, 2021, we entered into an agreement to operate a joint venture through a new Nevada corporation named MCOA Lynwood Services, Inc. Mr. Edward Manolos is a director of both parties to the agreement and this the agreement was an agreement between related parties. The parties agreed to finance a regulated and licensed laboratory to produce various cannabis products under the legal framework outlined by the City of Lynwood, California, Los Angeles County and the State of California. We own a controlling interest in Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc., which operates a licensed cannabis manufacturing operation in Lynwood, California. As its contribution the joint venture, MCOA agreed to purchase and install equipment for joint venture operations, which will then be rented to the joint venture, and also provide funding relating to marketing the products produced by the capital equipment. We agreed to provide use of its manufacturing and distribution licenses; access to its Lynwood, California facility; use of the specific areas within the Lynwood Facility suitable for the types of manufacturing selected by the joint venture; and, management expertise require to carry on the joint venture’s operations.

On May 12, 2021, we entered into a material definitive agreement not made in the ordinary course of its business. The parties to the material definitive agreement are the Registrant and Marijuana Company of America, Inc., a Utah corporation (“MCOA”). Mr. Edward Manolos is a director of both the Company and MCOA, and thus agreement is between related parties. Previously, on September 30, 2020, the Registrant and MCOA entered into a Share Exchange Agreement whereby the Registrant acquired that number of shares of MCOA’s common stock, par value $0.001, equal in value to $650,000 based on the closing price for the trading day immediately preceding the effective date, in exchange for the number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001, equal in value to $650,000 based on the closing price for the trading day immediately preceding the effective date. For both parties, the Share Exchange Agreement contained a “true-up” provision requiring the issuance of additional common stock in the event that a decline in the market value of the parties’ common stock should cause the aggregate value of the stock acquired pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement to fall below $650,000.
Complementary to the Share Exchange Agreement, Registrant and MCOA entered into a Lock-Up Agreement dated September 30, 2020 (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), providing that the shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement shall be subject to a lock-up period preventing its sale for a period of 12 months following issuance, and limiting the subsequent sale to aggregate maximum sale value of $20,000 per week, or $80,000 per month.

We issued the common stock pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, available to the Company by Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that it was an isolated issuance and did not involve a public offering of securities.

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.

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 nine months ended May 31, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of all embedded derivatives of $6,669,935 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 318% to 378%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.04% to 0.13%, and (4) expected life of 0.75 years to 1.5 years.
On May 31, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $3,585,535 using the Black Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 318%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.01% to 0.05%, and (4) expected life of 0.3 to 1.25 years.
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 May 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the nine months ended May 31, 2021:
Balance, August 31, 2020 | $ | 1,125,803 | ||

Change in derivative liability for the nine months ended May 31, 2021 | (998,116 | ) | ||
Balance, May 31, 2021 | $ | 3,585,535 |
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.

Description of Business
Cannabis Global operates multiple cannabis businesses in California and hemp-related business in the United States. The Company also has an active research and development program in the areas of cannabis and hemp.
The Company operates and manages Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc. (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 NPE facility effective immediately with emphasis on product manufacturing and distribution. The Company began taking customer orders for its product manufactured by NPE on April 21, 2021. These products included several types of cannabis products.
The Company also operates Northern Lights Distribution, Inc. (NLD) out of its Lynwood facility. During April of 2021, the Company signed a distribution agreement relating to the distribution of cannabis and products containing cannabis with a local licensed, permitted and compliant, cannabis delivery services. The Company is seeking to further expand its business opportunities for both NPE and NLD for its Lynwood location.

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.
The Company owns no issued patents. The Company has filed multiple provisional patents and three non-provisional patents as follows:
Cannabinoid Delivery System and Method of Making
• | September 1, 2020 Original File Date - Cannabinoid Delivery System and Method of Making |
• | September 6, 2021 Second Filing Date - Cannabinoid Delivery System and Method of Making |
Water Soluble Compositions With Enhanced Bioavailability
• | September 24, 2019 - Water Soluble Compositions With Enhanced Bioavailability |
• | This provisional patent filing was abandoned, although the Company may refile at a later date. |
Printed Shape Changing Article for the Delivery of Cannabinoids
• | October 15, 2019 Original File Date - Printed Shape Changing Article for the Delivery of Cannabinoids. |
• | September 23, 2021 Second File Date - Printed Shape Changing Article for the Delivery of Cannabinoids. |
40 |
Cannabinoid Enriched Composition and Method of Treating a Medical Condition Therewith
• | The invention relates to a method of treating a medical condition addressed by one or more cannabinoids, and a cannabinoid enriched treatment composition. In particular, 1) wherein the cannabinoid enriched treatment is produced by honey bees yielding a dry free-flowing solid or 2) wherein the cannabinoid enriched treatment is produced by other insects.
November 4, 2019 – Original provisional patent filing - Cannabinoid enriched composition and method for dry free-flowing powder. |
• | December 15, 2020 Non-provisional Patent Filing - Cannabinoid enriched composition and method of treating a medical condition therewith. This was a non-provisional patent filing.
December 15 2020, the Company filed an application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) seeking international protection of the Cannabinoid enriched composition and method for dry free-flowing powder.
The Company plans to utilize these unique compounds and powdered technologies to produce new cannabinoid infusion technologies for drugs, foods and beverages. The solid form of the bee honey compounds are already being utilized in the Company's Hemp You Can Feel™ branded products. Cannabis Global plans to conduct additional development on its other insect-based technologies to determine the extent of the unique properties of these new insect produced cannabinoid compounds.
There can be no assurance any patent protection will be provided, or that we will be successful in protecting our patents if issued.
|
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. |
41 |
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.

Sales and Marketing
The Company recently began sales and marketing activities for its products, with new products being released for sales on April 21, 2021. The Company primarily plans to market its non-psychoactive products via its own brands and plans to sell its psychoactive products into permitted and licensed entities only within the State of California.
Competition
We operated and 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 afect 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.
The psychoactive cannabis sector is also highly competitive with many participants being better capitalized. The Company plans to distinguish its products based on both quality and brand appearance.
Employees
As of May 31, 2021, we have three employees, including Arman Tabatabaei, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Company also relies on the services of multiple contractors and service providers that perform various R&D, operational and financial related services for the organization.

Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
53 |
Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2020, however we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to derivative financial instruments.
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 |
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 May 31, 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 May 31, 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.

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. Progress of the action was significantly delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Further, the Company’s retained counsel abandoned the case and his representation of the Company without notice or communication to the Company. As a result, the court dismissed the action without prejudice. The Company intends on re-filing the action.
