TABLE OF CONTENTS

Forward Looking Statements

This Report includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “seeks” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, or in relation to discussions of strategy, plans, objectives, goals, future events or intentions. These forward-looking statements include matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Quarterly Report and include statements regarding Issuer’s current intentions, beliefs or expectations concerning, among other things, the Issuer’s future plans for the Project, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, growth, strategies and the markets in which the Issuer intends to operate.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not an assurance of future performance. The Issuer’s actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this document. In addition, even if the Issuer’s future results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this document, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. The information in this Quarterly Report identifies important factors that could cause such differences (including, but not limited to, a change in overall economic conditions in the United States, a change in the Issuer’s financial condition, changes in tax law or the interpretation thereof, interest rate fluctuations and other market conditions, and the effect of new legislation or government directives).

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, information concerning possible or assumed future results of the Issuer’s operations set forth under the section entitled “Business of the Issuer”. Such statements, estimates and projections reflect various assumptions by the Issuer concerning anticipated results and are subject to significant business, financing, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Issuer and are based upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are subject to change. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such statements, estimates and projections will be realized or that actual results will not vary considerably from those anticipated, expected or projected. The Issuer, its accountants, its legal advisers and its agents or affiliates do not make any representations as to the accuracy or completeness of such statements, estimates and projections, or that any forecasts will be achieved.

The Issuer is not obliged to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written forward-looking statements attributable to the Issuer, or persons acting on behalf of the Issuer, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained throughout this Quarterly Report. As a result of these risks, prospective investors of the Convertible Bonds should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Neither the forward-looking statements nor the underlying assumptions have been verified or audited by any third party.

Nature of Operations

CannaPharmaRx, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation. As of the date of this Report, the Company intends to engage in acquisitions or joint ventures with a company or companies that will allow it to become a national or internationally branded cannabis cultivation company, or otherwise engage in the cannabis industry. Management is engaged in seeking out and evaluating businesses for acquisition. However, if an opportunity in another industry arises the Company will review that opportunity as well.

History

The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Colorado in August 1998 under the name “Network Acquisitions, Inc.” It changed its name to Cavion Technologies, Inc. in February 1999 and subsequently to Concord Ventures, Inc. in October 2006. On December 21, 2000, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the filing, on February 16, 2001, the Company sold its entire business, and all of its assets, for the benefit of its creditors. After the sale, the Company still had liabilities of $8.4 million and was subsequently dismissed by the Court from the Chapter 11 reorganization, effective March 13, 2001, at which time the last of the Company’s then remaining directors resigned. On March 13, 2001, the Company had no business or source of income, no assets, no employees or directors, outstanding liabilities of approximately $8.4 million, and had terminated its duty to file reports under securities law. In February 2008, after filing of a Form 10 registration statement pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we were re-listed on the OTC Bulletin Board.

In April 2010, the Company re-domiciled in Delaware under the name CCVG, Inc. (“CCVG”). Effective December 31, 2010, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Reorganization") which provided for the merger of two of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. As a result of this reorganization, the Company’s name became “Golden Dragon Inc.,” which became the surviving publicly quoted parent holding company.

On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with CannaPharmaRx, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Canna Colorado”), and David Cutler, a former President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and director of the Company. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Canna Colorado purchased 1,421,120 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock from Mr. Cutler and an additional 9,000,000 common shares directly from the Company.

In October 2014, the Company changed its legal name to “CannaPharmaRx, Inc.”

In April 2016, the Company ceased operations. As a result, the Company was then considered a “shell” company as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Effective December 31, 2018, the Company and Hanover CPMD Acquisition Corp. (“CPMD Hanover”) a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Alternative Medical Solutions, Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (“AMS”), its shareholders, wherein the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of AMS. AMS is a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada

As a result of the completion of the acquisition of AMS on December 31, 2019, the Company no longer fits the definition of a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. It filed the required disclosure on Form 8-K/A with the SEC on February 14, 2019, advising that it was no longer a shell company pursuant to the aforesaid Rule.

Effective February 25, 2019, the Company acquired 3,936,500 shares and 2,500,000 Warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock of GN Ventures, Ltd., Alberta, Canada, f/k/a Great Northern Cannabis, Ltd. (“GN”), in exchange for an aggregate of 7,988,963 shares of its Common Stock, from a former shareholder of GN who is now the Company’s President and CEO. In May 2020, the Company exchanged 5,507,400 of its shares for 3,671,597 shares of GN.

GN owns a 60,000 square foot cannabis cultivation and grow facility located on 38 acres in Stevensville, Ontario, Canada. Because the Company is a minority shareholder of GN and GN is a privately held company, the Company cannot confirm that the information it currently has on GN’s operations is complete or fully reliable. GN estimates annual total production capacity from the Stevensville facility of up to 5,000 kilograms of cannabis. GN believes the Stevensville facility to be complete, and GN’s subsidiary, 9869247 Canada Limited, received a license to cultivate from the Canadian Ministry of Health on July 5, 2019. As a result, in October 2019, GN commenced cultivation activities and began generating revenues during the first calendar quarter of 2020.

On January 1, 2022, the Company entered into a 20 year finance lease with Formosa Mountain Ltd., for a cannabis production facility in Cremona, Alberta, Canada. The facility is a 55,000 square foot, 6,000 kg per year plant, built in 2015. The licensing process is currently underway, and production and sales are anticipated in Q4 of 2022.

COVID-19

The global pandemic related to an outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) has cast uncertainty on each of these assumptions. There can be no assurance that they continue to be valid. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the financial effect on our business remain unknown at this time. These impacts could include, amongst others, an impact on our ability to obtain debt or equity financing, impairment of investments, net realizable value of inventory, impairments in the value of our long-lived assets, or potential future decreases in revenue or profitability of our ongoing operations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) “FASB Accounting Standard Codification™” (the “Codification”) which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

All figures are in U.S. dollars unless indicated otherwise.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to purchase price allocation of acquired businesses, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of the year or less to be cash equivalents. On June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,179 and $27,767 respectively.

Comprehensive Gain or Loss

ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company determined that it had items that represented components of comprehensive income and, therefore, has included a statement of comprehensive income in the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.

 Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible and other promissory notes are reviewed to determine whether they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately from the host contract and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the current period operating results. These derivative liabilities arose in 2022 and 2021 due to the issuance of variably priced convertible notes. For the periods ended June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had derivative liabilities of $1,153,920 and $507,494 respectively.

Beneficial Conversion Features

In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt or preferred stock instruments that have conversion features at fixed rates that are in-the-money when issued. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is generally calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. If certain other securities are issued with the convertible security, the proceeds are allocated among the different components. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible security is divided by the contractual number of the conversion shares to determine the effective conversion price, which is used to measure the BCF. The effective conversion price is used to compute the intrinsic value. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency and the reporting currency of CannaPharmaRx’s US operations is United States dollars, (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian operations in Canadian dollars (“CAD”), Management has adopted ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” for transactions that occur in foreign currencies. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations are translated into the reporting currency, United States dollars, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting periods. Equity transactions are recorded at the historical rate when the transaction occurred. The resulting translation adjustment is reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity in the statement of stockholders' equity. These translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of the Company's stockholders' equity.

Harmonized Sales Tax

The Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”) is a combination of the Canadian Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and Provincial Sales Tax (“PST”) that is applied to taxable goods and services. By fusing sales tax at the federal level with sales tax at the provincial level, the participating provinces harmonized both taxes into a single federal-provincial sales tax. HST is a consumption tax paid by the consumer at the point of sale (POS). The vendor or seller collects the tax proceeds from consumers by adding the HST rate to the cost of goods and services. They then remit the total collected tax to the government periodically.

The HST is in effect in five of the ten Canadian provinces: New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island. The HST is collected by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which remits the appropriate amounts to the participating provinces. The HST may differ across these five provinces, as each province will set its own PST rates within the HST. In provinces and territories which have not enacted the HST, the CRA collects only the 5% goods and services tax. The current rate in Ontario is 13%.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 718, (Compensation—Stock Compensation), which establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of stock warrants was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The Company had no stock options outstanding at June 30, 2022.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers. Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. The Company’s amortizable intangible assets consist of customer relationships and non-compete agreements. Their useful lives range from 10 to 15 years. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company-specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures, and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform an impairment test before scheduled annual impairment tests.

The Company had no goodwill recorded at June 30, 2022.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable. The long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value.

The Company had a net balance at June 30, 2022 of $117,303 in plant and office equipment. The Company had a net balance at December 31, 2021 of $6,032 in plant and office equipment.

Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

The Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value for financial instruments was determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and could not be determined with exact precision. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and the related party loan, each approximate their carrying value due either to their short length to maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Income (loss) per share is presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), Earning per Share (Topic 260) which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the income statements. Basic EPS would exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities but does include the restricted shares of common stock issued. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock. Basic EPS calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard On November 15, 2019, the FASB has issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective dates for three major accounting standards. The ASU defers the effective dates for the credit losses, derivatives, and lease standards for certain companies. Since the Company is classified as a small reporting company and has a calendar-year end companies the Company eligible for deferring the adoption of ASC 842 to December 15, 2021.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted ASU 2016-02 using the “Comparatives Under 840 Option” approach to transition. Under this method, financial information related to periods prior to adoption will be as originally reported under the previous standard – ASC 840, Leases. The effects of adopting the new standard (ASC 842, Leases) in fiscal 2022 were recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal first quarter. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification as operating or capital leases. We also elected to combine lease and non-lease components and to exclude short-term leases from our consolidated balance sheets. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient in determining the lease term for existing leases as of February 3, 2019.

The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition of finance lease assets and finance lease liabilities of $5,531,283 and $5,771,787, respectively as June 30, 2022. We expect the impact of adoption to be immaterial to our consolidated statements of earnings and consolidated statements of cash flows on an ongoing basis. As part of our adoption, we also modified our control procedures and processes, none of which materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company will be required to adopt this ASU for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $5,179 and $27,767 cash on hand, respectively, and no revenue-producing business or other sources of income. Additionally, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had negative working capital totaling $14,863,444 and an accumulated deficit of $89,742,630.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Based on its current financial projections, the Company believes it does not have sufficient existing cash resources to fund its current limited operations. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

It is the Company’s current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that these events will be satisfactorily completed or at terms acceptable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Any failure by the Company to successfully implement these plans would have a material adverse effect on its business, including the possible inability to continue operations.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the balance of investments was $78,760 and $78,760 respectively.

On February 25, 2019, the Company acquired 3,936,500 shares and 2,500,000 Warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of CAD$1.00 of GN Ventures, Ltd., Alberta, Canada, f/k/a Great Northern Cannabis, Ltd. (“GN”), in exchange for an aggregate of 7,988,963 shares of the Company’s Common Stock from a former shareholder of GN. On the date of purchase, the Company’s Common Stock was trading at $1.41 which values the purchase at $11,264,438. For balance sheet purposes the Company has treated this purchase using the cost method because the purchase consists of an investment in a private company in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over GN’s operating and financial activities. The Company conducted an impairment test on December 31, 2019, and determined that an impairment existed resulting in a write-down of the investment by $7,070,841 to its then-current value of $4,193,597.

On May, 2020, the Company exchanged 5,507,400 of its common shares for 3,671,597 common shares of GN. These shares were valued at $0.675 each which represents the value of the GN shares as determined by the Company’s year end impairment analysis and were recorded as an investment of $2,478,422. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s investment in GN was $6,672,019. On December 31, 2021, the Company wrote down its entire investment in GN. This write-down occurred due to the lack of available information forthcoming from GN regarding its current operations.

Derivative liability

As of and December 31, 2021, derivative liabilities were valued using a probability-weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model with the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the remaining term of the notes. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a loss of $646,426 as “Other Expense” on its Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represented the net change in the value of the derivative liability.

The following tables set forth the components of the Company’s, convertible debentures as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement with AMS, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing CAD $10,000,000 ($7,330,000 USD) promissory note secured only by the shares acquired in AMS. Principal payments under the Promissory Note are due quarterly commencing upon AMS receiving a license to cultivate and are computed based upon 50% of AMS' cash flow, defined as EBITDA less all capital expenditures, taxes incurred, non-recurring items, and other non-cash items for the relevant fiscal quarter, including the servicing of all senior debt payment obligations of the Company. The Promissory Note matures the earlier of two years from the date AMS receives a license to cultivate, or December 31, 2021. Since AMS had not received its cultivation license as of December 31, 2020, the Note Payable has a maturity date of December 31, 2021 and is past due.

The Company performed a valuation study as part of the AMS acquisition. The valuation study determined that the Promissory Note should be valued at $6,632,917 since it was non-interest bearing. As a result, the Company recorded a note discount of $697,083. The note discount will be amortized to interest expense over the three-year term of the Promissory Note. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded $186,610 in amortization expense related to this note discount.

On July 3, 2019, the Company entered into a 12% $1,000,000 Loan Agreement with Koze Investments LLC (“Koze”), payable in full on June 28, 2020. Under the terms of the 12% Note, Koze took a first security interest against the Company’s Hanover, Ontario cannabis facility in progress and required the Company to pay off its existing mortgage of approximately $650,000 CAD. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay a 3% origination fee, prepay the year of interest ($60,000) and to issue to Koze five-year warrants to purchase 1,001,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. After paying the origination fees, the prepayment and paying off the original mortgage, the Company used a portion of the remaining proceeds as payment against the SMI purchase price of CAD $1,000,000. During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an additional amount of $890,570 relating to penalties for late payment. On July 9, 2021, the Company closed the sale of the Hanover property and used the proceeds from the sale to repay this note in full. The note was repaid for $1,600,000 which included the original principal of $1,000,000, accrued interest of $124,735 and penalties of $475,265. This mortgage has now been discharged.

On April 21, 2020, the Company received a loan from the Government of Canada under the Canada Emergency Business Account program (CEBA). This loan was in the amount of $40,000 CAD (USD $29,352). These funds are interest-free until December 31, 2022, at which time the remaining balance will convert to a 3-year term loan at an interest rate of 5% per annum. An additional amount of $20,000 CAD (USD $15,708) was received on December 29, 2020. If the Company repays the loan prior to December 31, 2022, there will be loan forgiveness of 33% or $20,000 CAD.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into Note Agreements with secured investors amounting to $238,560. These notes are non-interest bearing and mature in 12 months. Repayment includes principal amount plus $50,000 CAD settlement cash fee plus 58,140 Common Shares at $0.43 per share plus 59,524 Common Shares at $0.42 per share. These notes are secured by a General Security Agreement over all present and after acquired property, assets, and undertakings. These notes are past due.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted ASU 2016-02 using the “Comparatives Under 840 Option” approach to transition. Under this method, financial information related to periods prior to adoption will be as originally reported under the previous standard – ASC 840, Leases. The effects of adopting the new standard (ASC 842, Leases) in fiscal 2022 were recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal first quarter. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification as operating or capital leases. We also elected to combine lease and non-lease components and to exclude short-term leases from our consolidated balance sheets. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient in determining the lease term for existing leases as of February 3, 2019.

The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition of finance lease assets and finance lease liabilities of $5,531,283 and $5,771,787, respectively as at June 30, 2022. We expect the impact of adoption to be immaterial to our consolidated statements of earnings and consolidated statements of cash flows on an ongoing basis. As part of our adoption, we also modified our control procedures and processes, none of which materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

Leases

The majority of our lease obligations are real estate finance leases from which we conduct our business. For any lease with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the related lease assets and liabilities are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either operating or finance leases at the inception of an agreement where it is determined that a lease exists. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and finance lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future payments over the lease term at commencement date. We use a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of future payments. Our lease terms generally do not include options to extend or terminate the lease unless it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Fixed payments may contain predetermined fixed rent escalations. We recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.

The weighted average remaining lease term is 19.5 years and the weighted average discount rate is 16.9%.

Future lease payments under our non-cancellable leases as of June 30, 2022 were as follows ($CAD):

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has approximately $86,000,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLS”) in the United States. The federal net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2030. State net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2034. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the availability of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to annual limitations against taxable income in future periods which could substantially limit the eventual utilization of such carryforwards. The Company has not analyzed the historical or potential impact of its equity financings on beneficial ownership and therefore no determination has been made whether the net operating loss carryforward is subject to any Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitation. To the extent there is a limitation there could be a substantial reduction in the deferred tax asset with an offsetting reduction in the valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits.

The tax years from 2014 and forward remain open to examination by federal and state authorities due to net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authorities. Since the company has never been profitable, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset associated with the NOLS.

Effective March 22, 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease three offices at 3600 888 3 St SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 5C5. The lease may be terminated by either party on 30 days’ notice. Rent is $2,000 CAD per month. This space was provided by a company to which, Mr. Orman, one of the Company’s directors, serves as a director.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Formosa Mountain Ltd to lease a cannabis production facility in Cremona, Alberta, Canada. The facility is a 55,000 square foot, 6,000 kg per year plant, built in 2015. Rent is $82,500 CAD per month, and will increase by 5% each year. This lease has a 20 year term.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share. The Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, determine the dividend rates, redemption prices, preferences on liquidation or dissolution, conversion rights, voting rights, and any other preferences.

Series A Preferred Stock

In April 2018, the Company issued 60,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for $1.00 per share to certain investors who then became members of management and the board of directors. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,250 shares of Common Stock and vote on an as-converted basis. The rights and designations of these Preferred Shares include the following:

The beneficial conversion (“BCF”) feature attributed to the purchase of Preferred Stock was deemed to have no value on the date of purchase because there was no public trading market for the Convertible Preferred Stock, and none is expected to develop in the future. Therefore, the BCF related to the Preferred Shares was considered to have no value on the date of issuance.

9,011 Preferred A shares were converted into common shares during the six months ended June 30, 2022 at 1250:1.

There were 58,180 shares and 67,191 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Series B Preferred Stock / Common Stock

In February 2019, the Company commenced an offering of up to $3 million in principal amount of Units at a price of $1.00 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock, each Convertible Preferred Share convertible into one share of the Company’s Common Stock at the election of the holder and one Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, which offering is to be offered only to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. This Offering was closed at the end of August 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had accepted $475,000 in subscriptions in this offering.

There were 475,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Common stock

The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were 227,447,761 and 125,509,810 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Shares Reserved for Issuance

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 162,500,589 Common Shares reserved for issuance. These shares are comprised of 72,725,000 Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock; 475,000 Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock; 87,803,061 shares issuable upon a conversion of the convertible notes, and 1,497,528 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants. None of these shares were used in the calculation of earnings per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive since the Company is operating at a loss. There are no assurances that the conversion rights will be utilized or that the options or the warrants will be exercised.

Stock Options

During the period ended June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company did not record any stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, as there were none outstanding.
