NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

CFN Enterprises Inc., formerly known as Accelerize Inc., or the Company, is a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 22, 2005. Effective October 22, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to CFN Enterprises Inc.

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Emerging Growth Agreement with Emerging Growth, LLC, or the Seller or Emerging Growth, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets from the Seller related to its sponsored content and marketing business for a purchase price consideration consisting of $420,000 in cash, 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 3,000 shares of Series B preferred stock with a total stated value of $3,000,000 which bears interest at 6% per annum and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price to be mutually agreed in the future, without voting rights or a liquidation preference except with respect to default interest.  The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The closing of the purchase of the assets pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement occurred on June 20, 2019.

The Company’s operations consist of the sponsored content and marketing business from the assets acquired pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,021,015 and an accumulated deficit of $36,760,905 as of March 31, 2021.  The Company also had a net loss of $316,703 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, growing its existing business acquired under the Emerging Growth Agreement, managing and reducing operating and overhead costs and continuing to pursue strategic transactions and opportunities including launching an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness cannabidiol, or CBD, products

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

COVID-19

The outbreak of a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S. has had an unfavorable impact on our business operations.  Our main customer market suffered its worst decline, decreasing our revenue.  Mandatory closures of businesses imposed by the federal, state and local governments to control the spread of the virus is disrupting the operations of our management, business and finance teams. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S. economy and financial markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance.  We took steps to diversify our revenue model by creating our CBD ecommerce business which has higher margins during the second half of 2020 and reduce our costs.  The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results further will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, but may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which are included in the Company’s December 31, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2021.  The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation of these

5

may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2021.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets, borrowing rate considered for operating lease right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability, and assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Financial Statement Reclassification

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s sponsored content and marketing business acquired from Emerging Growth in June 2019 has historically been its one reportable segment.  In late 2020, the Company launched an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness CBD products.  As of March 31, 2021, sales of these products and the operating activities associated with the e-commerce business have not been significant.  However, management expects this e-commerce business to eventually become a reportable segment under GAAP as the business grows and the activity becomes more significant.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company has restricted cash as a result of its corporate card program through its bank, which requires collateral placed in a money market account. At March 31, 2021, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $20,000 included as a component of total cash and restricted cash as presented on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s account receivables are due from customers relating to contracts to provide investor relation services. Collateral is currently not required. The Company also maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible, principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 amounted to $394,720 and $183,750, respectively.

Inventory

The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods acquired for its e-commerce network business it is currently in the process of launching.  The inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or estimated net realizable value.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

6

The Company’s cash and restricted cash accounts are held at a financial institution and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. From time-to-time, the Company’s bank balances exceed the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should 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 to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

Subsequent to the closing of the Emerging Growth Agreement on June 20, 2019, the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of promotional service packages to its customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. The Company offers different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity. The services provided by the Company include advertising, publishing of interviews and articles across its network and featuring of client content on its newsletters and social media. The packages all have fixed prices that are billed monthly over the terms of the agreement in even amounts. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers over time as work is performed, which is deemed to occur evenly throughout the duration of the contract. This also reflects the pattern in which costs are incurred on performing the contracts. To the extent revenue recognized on contracts at each period end exceeds collections, the amounts are reflected as accounts receivable. To the extent collections on contracts at each period end exceeds revenue recognized, the amounts are reflected as deferred revenue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and lines of credit approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items. The Company’s notes payable approximate their fair value due to the market rate of interest on the notes.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $5,606 and $47,966, respectively.

7

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

For interim periods, the Company uses the effective income tax rate method resulting in zero income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Investments

On December 24, 2020, the Company acquired a 9.8% interest in the outstanding stock of a privately held company for $200,000.  As the stock has no readily determinable fair values, the Company accounts for this stock received using the cost method, less adjustments for impairment.  At each reporting period, management reviews the status of the investment to determine if any indicators of impairment have occurred.

On January 22, 2021, the Company invested $35,000 in a new joint venture focused on marketing. The entity is in the formation phase and as such the Company accounts for this investment using the cost method. At each reporting period, management reviews the status of the investment to determine if any indicators of impairment have occurred.

There were no impairment charges recorded related to investments during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 3,160,000 outstanding stock options and 5,256,944 outstanding warrants which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 3,160,000 outstanding stock options and 7,543,944 outstanding warrants which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive.  As a result, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

Share-Based Payment

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

8

Common stock awards

The Company has granted common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.

Warrants

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 6, Stockholders’ Deficit.

NOTE 3: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company’s property and equipment relating to continuing operations consisted of the following at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $572 and $350, respectively.

NOTE 4: NOTES PAYABLE

On September 10, 2019, the Company entered into a promissory note payable whereby the Company borrowed $500,000 bearing interest at 8% per annum. Interest on the note is payable quarterly on the first business day of December, March, June and September commencing December 1, 2019. Outstanding principal on the note is due in full on September 30, 2022.

In connection with the promissory note on September 10, 2019, the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The warrants expire on September 10, 2024 and are fully vested upon issuance. The note was discounted by $17,624 allocated from the valuation of the warrants issued. The discount recorded on the note is being amortized as interest expense through the maturity date, which amounted to $1,469 and $1,463 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the net book value of the promissory note amounted to $491,530 including the principal amount outstanding of $500,000 net of the remaining discount of $8,470.

On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note, or the Note, with Pacific Western Bank, evidencing an unsecured loan, or the Loan, in the amount of $263,000 made to the Company under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP. The PPP is a program of the U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act. Under the PPP, the proceeds of the Loan may be used to pay payroll and make certain covered interest payments, lease payments and utility payments, or the Qualifying Expenses. The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for Qualifying Expenses under the PPP. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of Qualifying Expenses and the Company maintaining its payroll levels over certain required thresholds under the PPP. The terms of any forgiveness also may be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. No assurance can be provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part.

The interest rate on the Loan is 1.0% per annum. The Note matures on May 6, 2022. On December 1, 2020 and on the first day of each month thereafter until May 1, 2022, the Company must make monthly payments of $14,727 under the Loan that is not forgiven in accordance with the terms of the PPP and related accrued interest thereon. The Note contains events of default and other conditions customary for a Note of this type. As of March 31, 2021, the current portion of the Loan due within the next 12 months amounted to $188,249.  The Company has applied for full forgiveness of the amounts due under the Note.

9

On June 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Authorization and Agreement with the SBA under which the Company borrowed $150,000 and issued to the SBA a note and security agreement for the amount borrowed. Outstanding borrowings accrue interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum, and installment payments, including principal and interest, of $731 are due monthly and begin 12 months from the date of the loan agreement. The balance of any remaining principal and interest is due 30 years from the date of the loan agreement. As collateral for the borrowing, the Company granted the SBA a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.

On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into a secondary promissory note, or the Second PPP Note, with Pacific Western Bank, evidencing an unsecured loan, or the Second Loan, in the amount of $263,000 made to the Company under the PPP. Under the PPP, the proceeds of the Second Loan may be used to pay payroll and make certain covered interest payments, lease payments and utility payments, or the Qualifying Expenses. The Company intends to use the entire Second Loan amount for Qualifying Expenses under the PPP. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of Qualifying Expenses and the Company maintaining its payroll levels over certain required thresholds under the PPP. The terms of any forgiveness also may be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. No assurance can be provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Second Loan in whole or in part.

The interest rate on the Second Loan is 1.0% per annum. The Second PPP Note matures on February 25, 2023. On September 1, 2021 and on the first day of each month thereafter until February 1, 2023, the Company must make monthly payments of $14,727 under the Second Loan that is not forgiven in accordance with the terms of the PPP and related accrued interest thereon. The Second PPP Note contains events of default and other conditions customary for a note of this type. As of March 31, 2021, the current portion of the Second Loan due within the next 12 months amounted to $100,676.  The Company plans to apply for full forgiveness of the Second PPP Note.

Future scheduled maturities of long-term debt are as follows.

The aggregate current portion of long-term debt as of March 31, 2021 amounted to $232,001, which represents the contractual principal payments due during the remainder of 2021.

NOTE 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

On June 20, 2019, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement with Emerging Growth for the lease of office space in Whitefish, Montana, for a period of one year at a rate of $1,500 per month. On August 5, 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Emerging Growth for additional office space in Whitefish, Montana, replacing its previous lease from June 20, 2019. The term of the lease commenced on September 1, 2020 for a period of one year at a rate of $4,500 per month.  The lease contains an option for the Company to renew the lease for a period of one additional year at a monthly rent subject to a 3% increase.  Management has elected a policy to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet presentation required under ASC 842. As a result, the office lease has been excluded from balance sheet presentation as it has an original term of 12 months or less.

On March 30, 2021, the Company entered into a new lease with Emerging Growth, which will take the place of the old lease effective April 1, 2021. The lease provides for payments of $4,500 per month, and has a term of three years. Starting on April 1, 2021, the Company will present this lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The present value of the future lease payments is $144,560, which will be recorded as a lease liability and a right-to-use asset on the Company’s balance sheet.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that it currently believes, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

NOTE 7: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 1, 2021, the Company commenced a new lease for its office space in Whitefish, Montana. The lease has a three-year term and initial payments of $4,500 per month. On that date, the Company will record a right-to-use asset and related lease liability of $144,960 to be amortized over the three-year term of the lease.

Effective May 14, 2021, the Company and the holder of its $500,000 promissory note issued on September 10, 2019 (see Note 4) reached an agreement whereby the noteholder and the Company agreed to extend the maturity date of the note from September 30, 2022 to September 30, 2024. In connection with the extension, the Company agreed to issue 2 million shares of its common stock to the noteholder in lieu of $40,000 of interest accrued and accruing on the promissory note through December 31, 2021.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

The following are the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020:

14

Net Revenues

The Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of promotional service packages to customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. The Company offers different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company started fourteen new campaigns, compared with five during the same period in 2020. These campaigns have a value of $432,500 which will be recognized as revenue over the next three to six months. In 2020, the cumulative value of campaigns begun in the first three months was $117,500 with much of the revenue recognized during the first quarter of 2020 attributable to the final stages of campaigns started in previous quarters.

Cost of Revenue

The costs of revenue consist primarily of labor, fees paid for production of content for clients and the costs of placement of the content on various platforms. In 2020, the contracts required more production services and related labor than the contracts in 2021. As a result, the cost of revenue in 2021 was lower as a percentage of the revenue recognized during the quarter.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were higher than those in the corresponding three months in 2020 due largely to professional service fees related to the audit and filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we did not incur these fees until the second quarter of 2020.

Other Income/Expense

Other expenses increased during the first three months of 2021 due to the loss on extinguishment of debt we incurred as we issued common stock in payment of interest payable to our Preferred stockholders. We did not have a similar loss during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On May 6, 2020, we received $263,000 in the form of a loan from the PPP, as well $150,000 in proceeds from a loan with the SBA on June 24, 2020. We also received a second PPP loan of $263,000 on February 25, 2021. Our plan to continue as a going concern includes raising additional capital in the form of debt or equity, growing the business acquired under the Emerging Growth Agreement and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs. We cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for us to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, we had unrestricted cash of $167,956.

Net cash used in operating activities was $230,160 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to cash used in operating activities of $27,992 during the same period in 2020. The cash used in operating activities in 2021 was primarily the result of the net loss during the period, after adding back the noncash loss on extinguishment of debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the cash expended in the net loss of $318,331 was offset by allowing the payables to age longer and collecting the receivables faster.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was due to a new investment in a marketing startup.

15

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $273,000 was the result of proceeds from a second PPP loan of $263,000 and the sale of common stock for $10,000. The cash used in financing activities in 2020 was due to an interest payment to Preferred shareholders.

Description of Indebtedness

On September 10, 2019, the Company entered into a promissory note payable whereby the Company borrowed $500,000 bearing interest at 8% per annum. Interest on the note is payable quarterly on the first business day of December, March, June and September commencing December 1, 2019. Outstanding principal on the note is due in full on September 30, 2022.

In connection with the promissory note on September 10, 2019, the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The warrants expire on September 10, 2024 and are fully vested upon issuance. The note was discounted by $17,624 allocated from the valuation of the warrants issued. The discount recorded on the note is being amortized as interest expense through the maturity date, which amounted to $1,469 and $1,463 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the net book value of the promissory note amounted to $491,530 including the principal amount outstanding of $500,000 net of the remaining discount of $8,470.

On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note, or the Note, with Pacific Western Bank, evidencing an unsecured loan, or the Loan, in the amount of $263,000 made to the Company under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP. The PPP is a program of the U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act. Under the PPP, the proceeds of the Loan may be used to pay payroll and make certain covered interest payments, lease payments and utility payments, or the Qualifying Expenses. The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for Qualifying Expenses under the PPP. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of Qualifying Expenses and the Company maintaining its payroll levels over certain required thresholds under the PPP. The terms of any forgiveness also may be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. No assurance can be provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part.

The interest rate on the Loan is 1.0% per annum. The Note matures on May 6, 2022. On December 1, 2020 and on the first day of each month thereafter until May 1, 2022, the Company must make monthly payments of $14,727 under the Loan that is not forgiven in accordance with the terms of the PPP and related accrued interest thereon. The Note contains events of default and other conditions customary for a Note of this type. As of March 31, 2021, the current portion of the Loan due within the next 12 months amounted to $188,249.  The Company has applied for full forgiveness of the amounts due under the Note.

On June 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Authorization and Agreement with the SBA under which the Company borrowed $150,000, and issued to the SBA a note and security agreement for the amount borrowed. Outstanding borrowings accrue interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum, and installment payments, including principal and interest, of $731 are due monthly and begin 12 months from the date of the loan agreement. The balance of any remaining principal and interest is due 30 years from the date of the loan agreement. As collateral for the borrowing, the Company granted the SBA a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.

On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into a secondary promissory note, or the Second PPP Note, with Pacific Western Bank, evidencing an unsecured loan, or the Second Loan, in the amount of $263,000 made to the Company under the PPP. Under the PPP, the proceeds of the Second Loan may be used to pay payroll and make certain covered interest payments, lease payments and utility payments, or the Qualifying Expenses. The Company intends to use the entire Second Loan amount for Qualifying Expenses under the PPP. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of Qualifying Expenses and the Company maintaining its payroll levels over certain required thresholds under the PPP. The terms of any forgiveness also may be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. No assurance can be provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Second Loan in whole or in part.

The interest rate on the Second Loan is 1.0% per annum. The Second PPP Note matures on February 25, 2023. On September 1, 2021 and on the first day of each month thereafter until February 1, 2023, the Company must make monthly payments of $14,727 under the Second Loan that is not forgiven in accordance with the terms of the PPP and related accrued interest thereon. The Second PPP Note contains events of default and other conditions customary for a note of this type. As of March 31, 2021, the current portion of the Second Loan due within the next 12 months amounted to $100,676.  The Company plans to apply for full forgiveness of the Second PPP Note.

Future scheduled maturities of long-term debt are as follows.

Obligations Under Preferred Stock

On June 20, 2019, existing debtholders with outstanding principal balances totaling $500,000 were issued an aggregate of 500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each with a stated value per share of $1,000, as conversion of $500,000 worth of outstanding promissory notes. The Series A Preferred Stock bears interest at 12% per annum, and is convertible into our common stock at the election of the holder at a conversion price per share to be mutually agreed between us and the holder in the future, and be redeemable at our option following the third year after issuance, without voting rights or a liquidation preference.

On June 20, 2019, we issued 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each with a stated value of $1,000 per share, to Emerging Growth, LLC as part of the Emerging Growth Agreement.

Other outstanding obligations at March 31, 2021

Warrants

As of March 31, 2021, 5,187,500 shares of our common stock are issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants.

Options

As of March 31, 2021, 3,160,000 shares of our common stock are issuable pursuant to the exercise of options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

COVID-19

The outbreak of a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S. has had an unfavorable impact on our business operations.  Our main customer market suffered its worst decline, decreasing our revenue.  Mandatory closures of businesses imposed by the federal, state and local governments to control the spread of the virus is disrupting the operations of our management, business and finance teams. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S. economy and financial markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance.  We took steps to diversify our revenue model by creating our CBD ecommerce business which has higher margins during the second half of 2020 and reduce our costs.  The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results further will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, but may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During 2019, in order to remediate the segregation of duties and other deficiencies initially created by the departure of our accounting department in June 2019, we hired accounting consultants to perform our account reconciliations and other day-to-day accounting requirements. The internal control structure was also documented and assessed in the areas of financial reporting and disclosure controls as it relates to our continuing operations. In addition, we revised and improved the use of our systems for getting appropriate approvals for purchases and other activities that require authorization. However, our ability to file timely reports is heavily dependent on having the necessary financial resources to pay consultants and other outside service providers involved with performing key elements of our disclosure and financial reporting controls.  Our current financial condition, brought on in-part by COVID-19, has temporarily hindered our ability to file timely reports for this reason.  As a result, we have assessed our disclosure controls and controls over financial reporting as not effective.

Given the timing of events, the following information is included in this Form 10-Q pursuant to Item 1.01 “Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement,” and Item 3.02 “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities” of Form 8-K in lieu of filing a Form 8-K.

Effective May 14, 2021, the Company and the holder of its $500,000 promissory note issued on September 10, 2019 (see Note 4) reached an agreement whereby the noteholder and the Company agreed to extend the maturity date of the note from September 30, 2022 to September 30, 2024. In connection with the extension, the Company agreed to issue 2 million shares of its common stock to the noteholder in lieu of $40,000 of interest accrued and accruing on the promissory note through December 31, 2021. The shares were issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as not involving a public offering.
