GSRX Industries Inc. (“the Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed under the name Cyberspace Vita, Inc. (“Cyberspace”) on November 7, 2006. Cyberspace’s initial business plan was related to the online sale of vitamins and supplements. On May 11, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Peter Zachariou, the majority shareholder of Cyberspace (the “Shareholder”), Project 1493, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“1493”), and Peach Management, LLC (“Peach”) the sole member of 1493 (the “Member”), pursuant to which the Member transferred all of the outstanding membership interests of 1493 to the Company in exchange for 16,690,912 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Exchange Shares”), warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance (the “Exchange Warrants”) and 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that grants the holders thereof fifty-one percent (51%) voting power (the “Preferred Shares” and together with the Exchange Shares, and the Exchange Warrants, the “Exchange Securities”).

On June 22, 2018 the Board of Directors approved the resolution to change the name of the Corporation from “Green Spirit Industries Inc.” to “GSRX Industries Inc.” in order to reflect the nature of the corporation following consummation of the share exchange. The name change became effective July 16, 2018.
Project 1493, LLC (“1493”) was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico on March 17, 2017.

Pursuant to the FPAs, the Company acquired all of the legal rights, permits, pre-qualification licenses, and leases for five (5) medicinal cannabis dispensaries.

Such steps include proving financial viability, background checks, application of the final permit, proof of certificate of occupancy, employment of a security firm, installation of security cameras, and other similar compliance matters.
The cities and purchase price of the FPAs for the dispensaries are as follows:
Location | State/Territory | Date Opened | Purchase Price | |||||
Dorado | Puerto Rico | March 28,2018 | $ | 100,000 | ||||

*As of September 30, 2018, the Company is still awaiting issuance of the requisite operating permit from the Department of Health of Puerto Rico.
The FPAs have an indefinite life and are not being amortized.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of its operations for the periods presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 (including the notes thereto) set forth in Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2018.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements through September 30, 2018 include the accounts of the Company and the following entities, all of which have fiscal year ends of December 31. (Note 1).
● | 100% owned subsidiary, Project 1493, LLC; |
● | 100% owned subsidiary, Andalucia 511, LLC; |
● | 51% majority owned subsidiary, Spirulinex, LLC; |
● | 55% majority owned subsidiary, Sunset Connect Oakland, LLC; |
● | 55% majority owned, Green Spirit Essentials, LLC; |
● | 100% owned subsidiary, Green Spirit Mendocino, LLC; and |
● | 100% owned subsidiary, 138 Main Street PA, LLC. |
● | 100% owned subsidiary, GSRX SUPES, LLC |
● | 100% owned subsidiary, Point Arena Supply Co., LLC |
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months at purchase or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances at a limited number of banks and financial institutions may exceed insurable amounts. At September 30, 2018 the Company had $2,467,517 in excess of FDIC depository insurance coverage. The Company believes it mitigates its risks by depositing cash or investing in cash equivalents in major financial institutions.
Cash held in escrow, in the name of the Company, is held by Sichenzia Ross Ference Kesner (“Sichenzia”). The escrow account was established to hold the deposits from the sale of common stock and hold funds for businesses under letters of intents to purchase. There are no restrictions on the funds held by Sichenzia on the Company’s behalf.

Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This new standard replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP and codified guidance under FASB Topic 606. The underlying principle of this new guidance 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 that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting practices under previous guidance. However, given the nature of the Company’s products and the terms and conditions applicable to sales to its customers, the timing and amount of revenue recognized based on the underlying principles of ASU No. 2014-09 are consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy under previous guidance.
The Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue. As this policy election is in line with the Company’s previous accounting practices, the treatment of shipping and handling activities under Topic 606 did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
In accordance with the new guidance, the Company recognizes revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers.

Intangible Costs
The Company incurred costs related to Patent Application Costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, consisting of $632,368 of legal fees. The patent applications will continue to be filed over the next several quarters. As the patents have not been issued as of September 30, 2018, no amortization has been applied against the patent costs. If the patents are approved, the Company will amortize the patent application costs over their useful lives. If the patents are not approved, the patent application costs will be expensed and charged against income. (Note 8).
Expenses
Cost of goods sold includes the purchase of cannabis and cannabis-related products, labor directly associated with purchasing, inventory control.
General and administrative expense includes the costs associated with operating the businesses, and includes such items as bank charges, insurance, labor costs, taxes, marketing, permits, repairs, security, utilities, rent, consulting fees, office expenses, travel and other operating expenses incurred in the ordinary course of operating a retail business.
Share based Compensation
Compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements and covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. That cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. (See Note 3).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s current liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion the Company is not exposed, except for cash balances in excess of the FDIC depository insurance coverage, to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the accrual method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on the deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company was organized under the laws of Nevada and therefore will be taxed at statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rates.
Basic Earnings per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock.
Basic net loss per share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the Company’s earnings per share calculation due to the effect of being anti-dilutive. The total number of potentially dilutive securities which have been excluded is 6,808,596. (Note 3).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
As of September 30, 2018 and through October 30, 2018, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or future operating results. The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This standard will be effective for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019, and must be applied on a modified retrospective basis to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the potential impact of this standard on our consolidated financial position, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2018
Risk of Prosecution for Cannabis-Related Companies
A company that is connected to the cannabis industry must be aware that cannabis-related companies may be at risk of federal, and perhaps state, criminal prosecution. The Department of Treasury recently issued guidance noting: “The Controlled Substances Act” (“CSA”) makes it illegal under federal law to manufacture, distribute, or dispense cannabis. Many states impose and enforce similar prohibitions. As of September 30, 2018 and October 30, 2018, the Company has not been notified of any pending investigations regarding its planned business activities, and is not currently involved in any such investigations with any regulators.
California Operating Licenses
Effective January 1, 2018 the State of California commenced licensing for both medical and adult use commercial cannabis activity under the Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”). Beginning on January 1, 2018, the State began issuing temporary licenses for medical and adult use cannabis activity. Temporary licenses were initially issued for 120 days, but can be extended for additional 90 day periods if the applicant submits an annual license application during the initial 120 day window. The temporary licensing program expires on December 31, 2018, after which time applicants must apply for annual licenses only. The key requirement for temporary and annual state license approval is confirmation of local authorization to operate from the operator’s local jurisdiction. The Company’s current local San Francisco temporary permit to operate a manufacturing business was issued on April 27, 2018 and allowed Spirulinex to conduct manufacturing operations at its prior facility and subsequently at its new facility in San Francisco. The permit expired on August 25, 2018 due to the need to move the facility to the current San Francisco location and recognize the Company’s investment in Spirulinex, both issues that complicated the San Francisco permitting process. The Company has actively engaged with San Francisco’s Office of Cannabis Control and Board of Supervisors to resolve these issues by ordinance amendment, a process that is currently pending and may, if successful, result in the reinstatement of Spirulinex’s local authorization. The Company’s current state temporary licenses issued by the California Department of Public Health’s Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch (MCSB) expired on September 28, 2018. Additionally, the Company submitted a new cannabis manufacturing application under San Francisco’s social equity program on September 5, 2018, which application is under review. Although the Company believes it will receive the necessary licenses from the City of San Francisco and the State to conduct its business in a timely fashion, there is no guarantee the Company will be able to do so and any failure to do so may have a negative effect on its business and results of operations.
Although the possession, cultivation and distribution of cannabis for medical and adult use is permitted in California, cannabis is a Schedule-I controlled substance and its use remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis would likely result in our inability to proceed with our business plan, especially in respect of our cannabis cultivation, production and dispensaries. In addition, our assets, including real property, cash, equipment and other goods, could be subject to asset forfeiture because cannabis is still federally illegal.
10. Subsequent Events
On October 1, 2018, the Company received the requisite operating permit, issued by the Department of Health of Puerto for its Andalucia, San Juan, Puerto Rico medical cannabis dispensary, allowing the Company to commence operations at this location. The Company opened its new Green Spirit RX dispensary on October 2, 2018.

Overview of Business
We operate in a rapidly evolving and highly regulated industry that, as has been estimated by some, will exceed $30 billion in revenue by the year 2020. We have been and will continue to be aggressive in executing acquisitions and pursuing other opportunities that we believe will benefit us in the long-term.
Through our operating subsidiaries, we operate as a vertically integrated retail, production and cultivation company, with an emphasis on providing the highest quality and unique medical and adult use cannabis products to the regulated cannabis industry.
We are in the business of acquiring, developing and operating retail dispensaries, growing facilities, extraction and manufacturing related to the cannabis industry in Puerto Rico and California. In Puerto Rico, all of our medicinal cannabis dispensaries operate under the name “Green Spirit RX” and our dispensary in California, located in Point Arena, Mendocino County, operates under the name “The Green Room”. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have secured leases to commence operations of our new ventures in San Francisco and Oakland. Once we commence operations, we plan to offer a broad selection of medical and adult use products including flowers, concentrates and edibles.
Puerto Rico Operations
We are currently in various stages of construction of our dispensaries in Puerto Rico. Three dispensaries have been completed, received the requisite operating permits and began operating; one location was completed during the three month period ended September 30, 2018, received the requisite operating permits and began operating on October 2, 2018; and the remaining dispensaries are expected to be completed by the end of 2018. We currently hold pre-qualifications for a dispensary license for these locations, and they will not be fully licensed to commence operations construction is completed, and the Department of Health of Puerto Rico (“DHPR”) issues the requisite operating permit for each of the dispensaries.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we have acquired all of the legal rights, permits, pre-qualified licenses, leasing contracts and assets pertaining to ten medical cannabis dispensaries in Puerto Rico. The dispensaries are located in the following locations: (1) Fajardo; (2) Carolina; (3) Dorado; (4) San Juan; (5) Hato Rey; (6) Bayamon; (7) Isla Verde; (8) Old San Juan; (9) Condado; and (10) Guaynabo.
As of September 30, 2018, we completed construction and commenced operations after receiving the requisite operating licenses by the DHPR at four medical cannabis dispensaries at our Dorado, Carolina, San Juan and Hato Rey locations in Puerto Rico. We have completed or are near completion of construction at our dispensaries located in Isla Verde and Fajardo. We expect construction to be completed at two of our locations during the fourth quarter of 2018 and that construction at the remaining locations will be completed during the first quarter of 2019. However, no assurance can be given that construction will be completed as expected. These dispensaries will not be fully licensed to commence operations until construction is completed, and the DHPR issues the requisite operating permit for each of the dispensaries.
California Operations
The Green Room
On March 7, 2018, Mendocino entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third-party seller, pursuant to which Mendocino acquired all of the assets relating to a non-operating retail cannabis lease in Point Arena, Mendocino County, California for total cash consideration of $350,000. The purchase closed on April 26, 2018.
22 |
On March 26, 2018, Mendocino was granted the local permit to operate The Green Room by the City of Point Arena. On April 2, 2018, Mendocino received its State of California permit to operate its adult use and recreational cannabis dispensary.
We also assumed the prior owner’s delivery license, which allows delivery of The Green Room product through both telephone or on-line orders to any county in California that allows such product delivery. The delivery car is permitted to transport up to $3,000 of product at retail price at a time, but may make as many daily deliveries as necessary to fulfill all delivery orders. The car contains GPS and a built in safe for security, and the sales proceeds are returned to the store’s safe after each delivery to avoid having cash in the car.
Featuring more than 15 strains grown locally and products only found in this location, many customers have made The Green Room a destination place. Coupled with our current plans in establishing new cultivation and manufacturing operations through our other subsidiaries, we intend to increase product offerings by producing unique product lines and branded items solely for purchase at The Green Room. We believe that this will result in return-customers.
Spirulinex
On March 3, 2018, we entered into an operating agreement with Solunas Aqua Corp., a California corporation (“Solunas”), relating to the formation of Spirulinex, LLC, a California limited liability company. Spirulinex was formed as a joint venture between GSRX and Solunas for the purpose of carrying out the manufacturing cannabis and cannabinoid products for distribution in the State of California.
On April 13, 2018, Spirulinex entered into a lease agreement for a 4,500 square foot facility located in San Francisco, California (the “Spirulinex Facility”). We believe that such facility would provide ample space to manufacture quality products for sale to distributors and retailers throughout California, including to our dispensary in Point Arena.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we completed the build-out of approximately 80 square feet of the Spirulinex Facility, which allowed us to commence small-scale manufacturing operations under our temporary local permit and temporary state license. Our current local temporary permit to operate expired on August 25, 2018, and our current state temporary license expired on September 28, 2018. On September 5, 2018, we submitted a new cannabis manufacturing application, which application is currently under review. Although we believe we will receive the necessary state and local permits and licenses to conduct our manufacturing operations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so and any failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operation.
As of September 30, 2018, a majority of the Spirulinex Facility was still under construction. We expect construction to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2018; however, there can be no assurance that construction will be completed as expected.
Sunset
On March 26, 2018, we entered into an operating agreement with Sunset Connect SF, Inc. (formerly Happy VA Corp.), a California corporation (“Happy”), relating to the formation of Sunset Connect Oakland, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Sunset”). Sunset was formed as a joint venture between GSRX and Happy for the purpose of carrying out the cultivation of cannabis for distribution in the State of California.
On May 3, 2018, Sunset entered into a sublease for a 25,000 square foot facility located in Oakland, California (the “Sunset Facility”). We believe that such facility would provide ample space to grow and cultivate quality product for sale to distributors and retailers in California, including our dispensary in Point Arena.
As of September 30, 2018, the Sunset Facility is still under construction. We expect construction to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2018; however, there can be no assurance that construction will be completed as expected.
GS Essentials
On March 26, 2018, we entered into an operating agreement with Happy, relating to the formation of Green Spirit Essentials, LLC, a California limited liability company (“GS Essentials”). GS Essentials was formed as a joint venture between Green Spirit and Happy for the purpose of carrying out the extraction of cannabis oils for distribution in the State of California. We plan to have GS Essentials sublease approximately 1,000 square feet from Spirulinex in the Spirulex Facility to conduct operations. As noted above, the Spirulinex Facility is still under construction.
23 |
Through GS Essentials, we plan to run a mix of volatile and non-volatile closed loop extractions as well as an ethanol distillation process to allow us to manufacture a broad spectrum of products, including topical applications, cartridges, oils, wax, shatter, crumble and oral for sale in California.
Recent Developments
Effective July 16, 2018, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to change our name from “Green Spirit Industries Inc.” to “GSRX Industries Inc.”

On July 24, 2018, we entered into an amended and restated consulting agreement with Peach Management, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Christian Briggs, Chairman of our Board of Directors (the “Consultant”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Consultant provides certain consulting services relating to the execution of the Company’s business plan as more fully described in the agreement (the “Consulting Services”). In consideration of the Consulting Services, we agreed to pay to the Consultant compensation as follows: (i) a monthly cash fee of $10,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices; and (ii) 15,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, payable quarterly, effective immediately.

In consideration of the Executive Services, we agreed to pay to the Executive compensation as follows: (i) a monthly cash fee of $10,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices; and (ii) 15,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, payable quarterly, effective immediately.
On August 22, 2018, through 1493, we entered into a Final Purchasing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dispensarios 420, LLC, a limited liability company established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets pertaining to a medical cannabis dispensary, including but not limited to all of the legal rights, permits, licenses, leasing contracts and other assets (the “420 Dispensary”), in exchange for $156,000 cash consideration (the “Cash Payment”) and 46,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares” and, together with the Cash Payment, the “Purchase Price”). The Agreement provides that the Cash Payment shall be deposited into an escrow account until all transactions contemplated by the Agreement are finalized, and all corresponding permits to operate the medical dispensary are approved and issued by the Department of Health of Puerto Rico (the “DHPR”); provided, however, that the Cash Payment shall be disbursed to the Seller no later than 45 days from the date on which the DHPR authorizes the transfer of the 420 Dispensary and all assignments contemplated by the Agreement is completed. The Agreement contains customary representations and considerations of each of the parties. The acquisition of the 420 Dispensary is expected to close during the third quarter of 2018; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will complete the transaction during this time, if at all. The Company terminated the LOI on October 22, 2018.
On September 19, we entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with So-Cal MM Patients Association, LLC, a California limited liability company, dba The Coughy Shop (the “Seller”), pursuant to which we and the Seller have agreed to execute a purchase agreement in which we would acquire all of the assets relating to a licensed retail cannabis dispensary currently operating in Desert Hot Springs, California (the “Business”). The LOI provides that the Company shall purchase from the Seller all assets used in the Business, both tangible and intangible, including licenses and permits covering medical and adult-use cannabis sales, leases, equipment, inventory, and other assets (the “Proposed Transaction”) in exchange for total cash consideration of $1,500,000 (the “Purchase Price”).

The increase of $610,526, or 100%, was due to an increase in inventory purchases of cannabis products, including flowers, cream, oils and edibles, and cannabis-related accessories, including cartridges and pipes, related to the retail operations of the four dispensaries and Spirulinex.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section discusses our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have never reported net income. We incurred net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and have an accumulated deficit of $39,730,596 and $26,082,960, respectively.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $3,071,734 cash on hand as compared to $6,758,018 as of December 31, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported loss from operations of $13,647,636 and net cash decreased by $3,686,284.

Sources of Liquidity
We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. Since May 2017, we have raised capital through private sales of our securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we financed our operations through the remaining proceeds from various private placement offerings conducted by the Company during 2017 and 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company financed its operations from the remaining proceeds from the Company’s May 2017 offering, which resulted in total gross proceeds of $3,300,000, and the proceeds from the Company’s December 2017 offering and February 2018 offering, which resulted in total gross proceeds of $5,000,000 and $697,001, respectively. In addition, we utilized proceeds from our April offering, which closed in June 2018 and resulted in total gross proceeds of $2,584,765 and from our June offering, which closed during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and resulted in total gross proceeds of $475,000 to finance our operations.
We anticipate requiring additional capital for the continued development and implementation of our business plan, including the remaining build-out of our facilities in California, completing construction on our dispensaries in Puerto Rico, and working capital for our retail dispensary operations.
We will be required to raise additional cash through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow. We believe our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through the fourth quarter of 2019. However, we continue to evaluate various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans for real estate purchases and selling common stock. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations, or if we are able to raise capital, that it will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.
The issuance of additional securities may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Operating Cash Flows. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $4,641,670, which was due to the net loss from operations, net of common stock issued for services, the increase of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payables and accrued expenses.
Investing Cash Flows. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3,845,868, which was due to deposits paid on facilities; purchase of building, leasehold improvements and equipment; license for dispensary; legal fees on patent application costs; and construction on facilities still not put into service.
Financing Cash Flows. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $4,801,254, which was due to our February, April, June and August 2018 capital raises.
Material Capital Expenditure Commitments
The Company has upcoming capital commitments:
Remaining construction of five remaining dispensaries in Puerto Rico | $ | 400,000 | ||
Investment commitment in Spirulinex (joint venture) | $ | 350,000 | ||
Purchase of building in Puerto Rico | $ | 1,000,000 | ||
Purchase of cannabis dispensary in Desert Hot Springs, CA | $ | 1,500,000 |
The capital committed is for construction of existing leased units in Puerto Rico, which are currently in different phases of construction. The Company estimates construction be completed by December 31, 2018. However, no assurance can be given. The Company estimates it will require an additional $350,000 in fixed assets and operating capital for Spirulinex. The Company has committed to fund this amount to become 100% operational. In May, 2018 the Company signed an option purchase agreement to acquire a building for a potential dispensary location in Condado, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Company anticipates to execute the option and subsequently close on the purchase of the building during quarter ended December 31, 2018. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will exercise its option, or that the purchase of the building will be completed. The Company plans to use current funds to complete construction of its dispensary locations in Puerto Rico and for the completing the build-out of Spirulinex. With respect to its option purchase, the Company is currently in discussions with an investor, whereby the investor would purchase the Condado building and the Company would enter into a lease agreement with the investor for use of the building. However, no assurance can be given that this will be consummated. The Company does not expect any material changes in the mix and relative cost of such relative resources.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2018. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are not designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There are no legal proceedings which are pending or have been threatened against us or any of our officers, directors or control persons of which management is aware.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
