NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all accruals and adjustments (each of which is of a normal, recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months then ended. Significant accounting policies have been consistently applied in the interim consolidated financial statements. The results reported in these interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the entire year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020 and notes thereto that are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Going Concern
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management plans to fund future operations by raising capital and / or seeking joint venture opportunities.
7
Principles of Consolidation
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”). The Consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant consolidated transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated fair market value of assets and liabilities acquired under business combinations, useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, recoverability of goodwill and estimates of fair value of share-based payments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB” ACS 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.
The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:
● | Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
● | Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
● | Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s derivative liabilities are considered a Level 2 liability.
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, dilutive instruments consisted of convertible notes payable, options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock totaling approximately 71.7 million and 28.4 million shares of common stock, respectively, the effects of which to the net loss are anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-01, “Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815”, which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2021, which did not have a significant impact on the Company.
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been several ASUs issued to date, including the one above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 –NOTES PAYABLE
Convertible Note Payable
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued a series of convertible notes with original principal balances of $1,000,000. The convertible notes had original maturity dates ranging from November 1, 2021 to December 1, 2021 and incur interest at 20% per annum. In July 2020, the due date of the convertible notes was extended to November 1, 2023. In April 2021, the convertible notes were further amended to define the timing for quarterly interest payments due under the convertible notes and impose a penalty payable in cash and stock for late interest payments. In connection with this amendment, the Company increased the principal balance by $233,333 of accrued interest and $66,667 classified as an extension fee for the remaining accrued interest of $114,568 for which the payment was extended until early July 2021. The extension fee was recorded as interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the balance due on the convertible notes was $1,300,000, net a discount of $21,060 recorded within convertible notes payable.
In addition, the convertible notes are convertible upon issuance at a fixed price of $0.50 per common share. In connection with the issuance, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $44,000 resulting in a discount to the convertible notes. The discount is being amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, due to the short-term nature of the convertible notes, over the term. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company amortized $28,152 and $13,376, respectively, to interest expense. Due to the modification below, whereby the remaining discount was extinguished, as of September 30, 2021, no discount remained. The convertible notes include other provisions such as first right of refusal on additional capital raises, authorization of holder to incur debts senior to the convertible notes, etc. Additionally, should the holder exercise the option to exercise, a warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock for which the terms are not defined in the agreement. Thus, the issuance of the warrant is contingent to which the Company has not accounted for. Should warrants be ultimately issued, the Company expects to record the fair value of such as additional interest expense.
On August 31, 2021, the Company and the note holder agreed to settle the balance due under the convertible notes. The Company agreed to make a cash payment to the note holder of $1,000,000 on or before January 4, 2022 and the note holder has the option to elect to receive 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in lieu of the $1,000,000 cash payment. Additionally, the Company issued the note holder 2,000,000 shares of common stock and 6,000,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock which expire August 31, 2025. The common stock issued to the note holder is convertible to the Company’s preferred stock, at the note holder’s option, should the Company issue a new class of Preferred Stock. The Company accounted for the transaction as an extinguishment of the convertible note whereby the transaction was recorded as its fair market value. In connection with the extinguishment, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $940,000 related to the fair market value of the common stock issued and $1,665,000 related to the fair market value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants granted was estimated using a Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model with the following assumptions:
Schedule of fair value warrants granted Black-Scholes Options | ||||
Exercise price per share | $ | - $ | ||
Expected life (years) | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.64 | % | ||
Expected volatility | % |

Impact of the Coronavirus
The Company’s business could be disrupted and materially adversely affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19. As a result of measures imposed by the governments in affected regions, businesses and schools have temporarily closed due to quarantines intended to contain this outbreak. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the Director General of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. International stock markets have reflected the uncertainty associated with the slow-down in the world economies. The significant declines in the Dow Industrial Average were also largely attributed to the effects of COVID-19. The Company is still assessing the impact COVID-19 may have on its business, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable the Company to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-019 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and global efforts to contain its spread will impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the pandemic and the actions taken to contain or treat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity has been funds received from the sale of our common stock and issuance of notes including convertible notes. During the current reporting period and subsequent we have funded our operations through cash flows from operations and the following significant transactions.
On August 18, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with an unrelated third party. The Loan Agreement provides the Company with the option, subject to certain conditions, to borrow up to $4,000,000 under the Loan Agreement. As of November 16, 2020 the Company had borrowed $1,950,000 pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which amount includes $146,250 which the Company will use to pay the first six month’s interest on the borrowed funds. The Company used $1,000,000 of the initial advance to repay the $1,000,000 loan described above. The funds remaining from the initial advance will be used to purchase raw materials for the Company’s products and for general corporate purposes. All funds borrowed bear interest at 15% per year, are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, and are due and payable on August 18, 2023. The Lender will receive two shares of the Company’s restricted common stock for every $1.00 loaned to the Company. At the option of the Lender, the amounts loaned to the Company may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares to be issued will be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is the lessor of: (1) $2.00 or (2) 75% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last business day immediately prior to the conversion date.

The offering consisted of 20,000 shares of preferred stock at a price of $100 per share. The purchaser of the preferred stock has agreed to purchase the preferred stock in three tranches provided certain sales milestones are met. Concurrently with each issuance of preferred stock, the Company shall issue the preferred stockholder 500,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.75 per share. Preferred stockholders are entitled to a 10% dividend paid in additional shares of preferred stock on a quarterly basis and will receive dividend and liquidation preferences over the Company’s common stockholders.

For the next 12 months our plan of operations is to expand our current activity at SKM, increase consumer product offerings in Test Kitchen, and develop the infrastructure required to support Phytocare’s initial operations. We believe that our current cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and expected proceeds from ongoing investments will allow us to meet our cash flow requirements for a period in excess of 12 months.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. As a result of this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021, due to the following material weakness:
● | Lack of appropriate segregation of duties, | |
● | Lack of control procedures that include multiple levels of supervision and review, and | |
● | An overreliance upon independent financial reporting consultants for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material, nonstandard transactions. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On January 11, 2021, the Company hired Alexander Glueckler as its CFO to reduce reliance on independent financial reporting consultants for review or critical accounting areas, disclosures, and material nonstandard transactions. The hiring of Mr. Glueckler has allowed the Company to take greater internal control over its financial reporting in the three months ended September 30, 2021.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
