Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business

 

One World Products, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 2, 2014. On February 21, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with OWP Merger Subsidiary, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and OWP Ventures, Inc. (“OWP Ventures”), which is the parent company of One World Pharma SAS, a Colombian company (“OWP Colombia”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we acquired OWP Ventures (and indirectly, OWP Colombia) by the merger of OWP Merger Subsidiary with and into OWP Ventures, with OWP Ventures being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger (a) holders of the outstanding capital stock of OWP Ventures received an aggregate of 39,475,398 shares of our common stock; (b) options to purchase 825,000 shares of common stock of OWP Ventures at an exercise price of $0.50 automatically converted into options to purchase 825,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50; (c) the outstanding principal and interest under a $300,000 convertible note issued by OWP Ventures became convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.424 per share or 80% of the price we sell our common stock in a future “Qualified Offering” (d) 875,000 shares of our common stock owned by OWP Ventures prior to the Merger were cancelled; and (e) OWP Ventures’ chief operating officer became our chief operating officer and two of OWP Ventures’ directors became members of our board of directors. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and all of its customers are expected to be outside of the United States. On January 10, 2019, the Company changed its name from Punto Group, Corp. to One World Pharma, Inc., and on November 23, 2021, the Company changed its name to One World Products, Inc. through the merger of One World Products, Inc., a recently formed Nevada corporation wholly-owned by the Company, with and into the Company (the “Name Change Merger”) pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). As permitted by the NRS, the articles of merger filed with the Secretary of State of the state of Nevada to effect the Name Change Merger amended Article I of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to “One World Products, Inc.” The Name Change Merger was effected solely to effect the change of the Company’s name, and had no effect on the Company’s officers, directors, operations, assets or liabilities.

 

OWP Ventures is a holding company formed in Delaware on March 27, 2018 to enter and support the cannabis industry, and on May 30, 2018, it acquired OWP Colombia. OWP Colombia is a licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution (export) company located in Popayán, Colombia (nearest major city is Cali). We plan to be a producer of raw cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. We have received licenses to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, we are one of the few companies in Colombia to receive all four licenses, including seed use, cultivation of non-psychoactive cannabis, cultivation of psychoactive cannabis, and manufacturing allowing for extraction and export. Currently, we own approximately 30 acres and have a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, we have entered into agreements with local farming co-operatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis. We began harvesting cannabis in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities, quality control testing and extraction. We have been generating revenue from the sale of our seeds since the second quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2022, we made payments of approximately $1,400,000 for a state of the art distillation machine that was placed in service during the second quarter of 2023 within our vertically integrated extraction facility.

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. The Company’s headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada and substantially all of its production efforts are within Popayán, Colombia.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of the Company is Columbian Peso (COP). The Company has maintained its financial statements using the functional currency, and translated those financial statements to the US Dollar (USD) throughout this report. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. 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 (loss) for the respective periods.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances in a full-set of general-purpose financial statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company discloses the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (ASC 820). Under ASC 820-10-05, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured Limits

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000, under current regulations. The Company did not have any cash in excess of FDIC insured limits at June 30, 2023, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (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 each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s sales to date have primarily consisted of the sale of seeds. These sales include multi-element arrangements whereby the Company collects 50% of the sale upon delivery of the sales, and the remaining 50% upon the completion of the harvest, whether the seeds result in a successful crop, or not. In addition, the Company has a right of first refusal to purchase products resulting from the harvest. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $11,166 of deferred revenues and $6,539 of deferred cost of goods sold, as included in other current assets on the balance sheet, that are expected to be recognized upon the customers’ completion of their future harvests.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of cannabis flower grown in-house, along with produced extracts.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

 

In July 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-03 to amend various SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to primarily reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120. ASU No. 2023-03, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280—General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock.” ASU 2023-03 amends the ASC for SEC updates pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120; SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Meeting; and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280 - General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock. These updates were immediately effective and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle for contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The new guidance will require companies to apply the definition of a performance obligation under accounting standard codification ASC Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination. Under current GAAP, an acquirer in a business combination is generally required to recognize and measure the assets it acquires and the liabilities it assumes at fair value on the acquisition date. The new guidance will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 establishing Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as we transitioned from the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as LIBOR, to alternative references rates, as well as utilizing the aforementioned expedients and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging–Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if converted method. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

 

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the period ended June 30, 2023, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note 2 –Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023, our balance of cash on hand was $175,235, and we had negative working capital of $3,048,278 and an accumulated deficit of $24,039,433. We are too early in our development stage to project future revenue levels, and may not be able to generate sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing and would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.

 

Note 3 – Related Party Transactions

 

Common Stock Issued for Services, Related Party

 

On June 15, 2023, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s President, Joerg Sommer, for services provided. The aggregate fair value of the common stock was $89,850, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The shares were expensed upon issuance.

 

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined 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 (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 11 – Deferred Revenues

 

Arrangements with customers include multiple deliverables, consisting of an initial delivery of seeds and a contingent portion of the purchase price that is payable on the customer’s future harvest of the plants grown from such seeds. Deferred revenues associated with these multiple-element arrangements were $11,166 and $11,808 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Related deferred cost of goods sold were $6,539 and $6,655 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, resulting in deferred gross margins of $4,627 and $5,153 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, that is expected to be recognized upon the customers’ completion of their harvests in future periods.

 

Note 12 – Leases

 

On April 28, 2023, the Company leased commercial property for its extraction facility under a commercial lease contract at a monthly lease rate of 3,000,000 COP (approximately $645) over a one-year term. The lease shall be automatically extended for another one year period with respect to a mutually agreed upon lease rate at the time of extension. Either party can terminate the lease three months prior to the expiration of the lease term.

 

In addition, the Company leases its corporate offices and operational facility in Colombia under short-term non-cancelable real property lease agreements that expire within a year. The Company doesn’t have any other office or equipment leases that would require capitalization. The office lease contains provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. In the locations in which it is economically feasible to continue to operate, management expects to enter into a new lease upon expiration. The extraction facility lease contained provisions requiring payment of property taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and other occupancy costs applicable to the leased premise. As the Company’s leases do not provide implicit discount rates, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

Terminated Leases

The Company leased its 12,400 square foot extraction facility under a non-cancelable real property lease agreement that commenced on January 1, 2022 and was to expire on December 31, 2027, at a monthly lease rate of 57,339,000 COP (approximately $15,290). The Company terminated the lease on September 30, 2022, resulting in termination fees of approximately $7,700. A gain of $20,148 was recognized on the early extinguishment of the lease for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

On October 1, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year non-cancelable property lease, with an automatic five year extension, for a new extraction facility with combined office space, at a monthly lease term of 29,000,000 COP plus VAT and administration fees (approximately $6,300 in the aggregate), with annual escalation of lease payments equal to the consumer price index, plus 2%.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $9,682,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2025.

 

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

Overview

 

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, One World Pharma S.A.S, we are a licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution (export) company located in Popayán, Colombia (nearest major city is Cali). We plan to be a producer of raw cannabis and hemp plant ingredients for both medical and industrial uses across the globe. We have received licenses from the Colombian government to cultivate, produce and distribute the raw ingredients of the cannabis and hemp plant for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes. Specifically, we are one of the only companies in Colombia to receive seed, cultivation, extraction and export licenses from the Colombian government. Currently, we own approximately 30 acres and have a covered greenhouse built specifically to cultivate high-grade cannabis and hemp. In addition, we have entered into agreements with local farming co-operatives that include small farmers and indigenous tribe members, under which they will cultivate cannabis on up to approximately 140 acres of land using our seeds and propagation techniques, and sell their harvested products to us on an exclusive basis. We planted our first crop of cannabis in 2018, which we began harvesting in the first quarter of 2019 for the purpose of further research and development activities and quality control testing of the cannabis we have produced.

 

We have been generating revenue from the sale of our seeds since the second quarter of 2020. Between August 2021 and March 2022, we made payments of approximately $1,400,000 for the purchase of a state of the art distillation machine that cleared customs and was placed in service within our vertically integrated extraction facility during the second quarter of 2023. The installation of this equipment makes us one of the only companies in Colombia to both, hold licenses and possess the capability to extract high-quality CBD and THC oils.

 

We recently added to our product pipeline premium coffee certified by the Colombian National Coffee Federation infused with CBD, teas infused with CBD and a series of wellness products, including sports CBD energy drinks for optimum performance, CBD facial and body creams for anti-inflammatory and anti-aging use. We expect to start exporting products in 2023, or the beginning of 2024, including CBD flower and distillate oil, while developing white label commercial agreements with partners in Europe, USA, and Latin America.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, financing activities and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

 

  2023   2022
Operating Activities $ (842,925)   $ (905,472)
Investing Activities   (5,046)     (43,201)
Financing Activities   812,500     879,320
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash   199,690     4,472
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash $ 164,219   $ (64,881)

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $842,925, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $905,472 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our net loss.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $5,046, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $43,201 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The cash used in investing activities consisted entirely of purchases of fixed assets.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $812,500, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $879,320 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2023, our balance of cash on hand was $175,235, and we had negative working capital of $3,048,278 and an accumulated deficit of $24,039,433. We are too early in our development stage to project future revenue levels, and may not be able to generate sufficient funds to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we may need to raise additional cash to fund our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In the event sales do not materialize at the expected rates, management would seek additional financing and would attempt to conserve cash by further reducing expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving these objectives; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to scale production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising additional capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (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 each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s sales to date have primarily consisted of the sale of seeds. These sales include multi-element arrangements whereby the Company collects 50% of the sale upon delivery of the sales, and the remaining 50% upon the completion of the harvest, whether the seeds result in a successful crop, or not. In addition, the Company has a right of first refusal to purchase products resulting from the harvest. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $11,166 of deferred revenues and $6,539 of deferred cost of goods sold, as included in other current assets on the balance sheet, that are expected to be recognized upon the customers’ completion of their future harvests.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Our cannabis products consist of cannabis flower grown in-house, along with produced extracts.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees and non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
