NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 of Pure Harvest Corporate Group, Inc.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

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.

Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

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:

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of March 31, 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 Share

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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, dilutive instruments consisted of convertible notes payable, options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock totaling approximately 51.6 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 those 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 Notes 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 addition, 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company amortized $3,546 and $5,712, respectively, to interest expense. The remaining discount of $24,606 is expected to be amortized throughout 2021 to 2023. 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.

Convertible Notes Payable

In August 2020, the Company entered into an agreement for borrowings up to $4.0 million. Upon closing, the Company received $1,950,000 and provided for a six-month interest reserve. Additional amounts are advanced as varies milestones are reached. The borrowing incur interest at 15% per annum with principal and outstanding interest due three years from the date of issuance. The Company’s assets secure the borrowings. In addition, the borrowings have a variety of financial and non-financial covenants. In addition, the borrowings are convertible at the lesser of $2.00 or 75% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the preceding 30 days. Additionally, for every dollar advanced under the borrowing, the holder receives two shares of common stock. In 2020, the Company issued the holder 4,192,500 shares of common stock in connection with the convertible note. The agreement also includes a variety of other provisions related to inventory sold with specific discounts, markups, etc.

Due to the variable conversion price, the Company recorded derivative liabilities for the conversion feature on the date of issuance. The derivative liabilities are valued on the date the borrowings become convertible and revalued at each reporting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company revalued the fair market value of the derivative liabilities of $1,749,157 resulting in a loss of $3,685. The valuation of the derivative liabilities was based upon the following Black-Scholes option pricing model average assumptions: an exercise price of $0.37 our stock price on the date of revalue of $0.50, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 98.00%, risk free interest rate of 0.64% and expected term of 2.37 years.

In connection with the derivative liabilities and common stock issued, the Company recorded a $1,950,000 discount. The discount is being amortized over the term of the borrowings using the straight-line method due to the short-term nature. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company amortized $160,274 of the discount to interest expense. As of March 31, 2021, a discount of $1,563,561 remained for which will be amortized in periods from 2021 to 2023.

Related Party Convertible Notes Payable

On June 15, 2020, the Company borrowed $30,000 from an individual related to a significant member of management. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note which bears interest at 10% per year and is due and payable on October 8, 2020. At the option of the lender, the note principal and any accrued interest may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock which will be issued upon any conversion will be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by $0.40. On the date of issuance, the conversion price of $0.40 was the closing market price of the Company’s common stock and thus a beneficial conversion feature was not recorded. In September 2020, the note was converted into 75,000 shares of common stock.

At various times in 2020, the Company borrowed a total of $430,000 from an individual related to a director of the Company and a director of the Company. The loans are evidenced by a promissory notes which bears interest at 12% per year and are due and payable at dates ranging from December 10, 2020 to January 10, 2021. The proceeds were used for operations. At the option of the holders, the note principal and any accrued interest may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock which will be issued upon any conversion will be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by the lesser of $0.30 or 80% of the ten-day average closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the date of conversion. The holders also have the option to convert $900,000 owed to them from EdenFlo, LLC, as disclosed below, which debt was assumed the Company in connection with the acquisition of EdenFlo, at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of 12 months. Additionally, the holders were issued 215,000 shares of common stock in connection with the notes. On December 7, 2020, the loans were amended whereby the variable conversion price was removed. See below for additional accounting impact.

Due to the variable conversion price, the Company recorded derivative liabilities for the conversion feature on the date of issuance. The derivative liabilities are valued on the date the convertible note payable become convertible and revalued at each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded initial derivative liabilities of $298,913 based upon the following Black-Scholes option pricing model average assumptions: an exercise price of $0.30 our stock price on the date of grant ranging from $0.40 - $0.49, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 103.00%, risk free interest rate of 0.64% and expected terms of 0.5 years. Upon initial valuation, the derivative liabilities, as well as the fair market value of the 215,000 shares of common stock exceeded the face values of the convertible notes payable by $2,940, which was recorded as a day one loss in derivative liability. On December 7, 2020, the derivative liabilities were revalued at $540,475 resulting in a loss of $241,562. The value of the derivatives of $540,475 was recorded as a gain on extinguishment due to the modification of the exercise price. The inputs to value the derivative liabilities were similar to those on the date of issuance.

In connection with the derivative liabilities and common stock issued, the Company recorded a $396,223 discount. The discount is being amortized over the term of the convertible note using the straight-line method due to the short-term nature. As of December 31, 2020, no discount remained.

In connection with the EdenFlo asset acquisition, the Company assumed two notes payable with the former shareholders. Under the terms of the agreements $600,000 is payable on June 1, 2021 and does not incur interest and $300,000 is due on August 1, 2022 and does not incur interest. As disclosed above, both notes were modified to include a conversion feature at a price of $0.30 per share. The modification was treated as an extinguishment of the original note for which a loss on extinguishment of $448,000 was recorded.

In connection with the SKM acquisition, the Company assumed four notes payable totaling $275,756 with the former membership. The notes do not incur interest and are due on demand.

Notes Payable

On March 6, 2020, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 from an unrelated third party. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note which bears interest at 8% per year.

The note is due and payable as follows:

Accrued interest will be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock based upon a 25% discount to the ten-day average closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to May 6, 2020. Accrued interest will include 150,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time on or before January 1, 2025 at a price of $2.00 per share. The first payment of $500,000 was made on a timely basis.

On issuance, the Company valued the 150,000 shares of common stock and the 150,000 warrants for common stock and recorded the relative fair market of $116,707 as a discount to the note payable. The Company is amortizing the discount over the term of the note payable using the straight-line method due to the short term of the note. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company amortized $60,607 to interest expense.

On April 20, 2020, the holder of the Note agreed to extend the due date for the $1,000,000 payment from May 6, 2020 to June 15, 2020. In consideration for extending the repayment date for the second amount to June 15, 2020, the Company issued to the note holder 200,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $2.00 per share and expire January 1, 2025. A late payment penalty of $5,000 per day will be due if the $1,000,000 is not paid by June 15, 2020. The Company determined the extension resulted in debt extinguishment accounting whereby the fair value of the additional consideration provided was in excess of the carrying value of the original note payable resulting in an extinguishment loss of $157,784.

On June 9, 2020, the holder of the Note agreed to further extend the due date for the $1,000,000 payment to July 15, 2020. In consideration for extending the repayment date, the Company issued to the note holder an additional 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $2.00 per share and expire January 1, 2025. The Company determined the extension resulted in debt extinguishment accounting whereby the fair value of the additional consideration provided was in excess of the carrying value of the original note payable resulting in an extinguishment loss of $170,470.

On July 14, 2020, the holder of the Note agreed to further extend the due date for the $1,000,000 payment to August 15, 2020. In consideration for extending the repayment date, the Company issued to the note holder an additional 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $2.00 per share and expire January 1, 2025. The Company determined the extension resulted in debt extinguishment accounting whereby the fair value of the additional consideration provided was in excess of the carrying value of the original note payable resulting in an extinguishment loss of $120,721.

In addition, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 124,425 shares of common stock in satisfaction of $52,293 in accrued interest.

The note was paid in full in August 2020.

Note Payable - $200,000

On October 9, 2020, the Company borrowed $200,000 from an unrelated third party. The note incurred interest at 12% per annum and was due by November 9, 2020. The note was repaid. As further consideration, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the lender. The Company recorded the fair market value of the shares as a discount of $40,000 to the note for which all was amortized to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note Payable - $173,705

On November 1, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to convert accounts payable of $173,705 into a note payable. The note incurred interest at 8% per annum and is payable in monthly payments.

Note Payable - $500,000

On November 17, 2020, the Company borrowed $500,000 from an unrelated third party. The note incurs interest at 8% per annum and initially matured on January 31, 2021. See below for discussion regarding the extension of the note. At the option of the lender, the loan and any accrued interest may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock which will be issued upon any conversion will be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by the lesser of 75% of the ten-day average closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the date of conversion or $0.50.

Due to the variable conversion price, the Company recorded derivative liabilities for the conversion feature on the date of issuance. The derivative liabilities are valued on the date the borrowings become convertible and revalued at each reporting period. On March 31, 2021, the derivative liabilities were revalued at $285,120 resulting in a loss of $150,817. The derivative liabilities were revalued based upon the following Black-Scholes option pricing model average assumptions: an exercise price of $0.37 our stock price on the date of revalue of $0.50, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 113.00%, risk free interest rate of 0.01% and expected term of 0.50 years.

In connection with the derivative liabilities and common stock issued, the Company recorded a $287,454 discount. The discount is being amortized over the term of the borrowings using the straight-line method due to the short-term nature. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company amortized $118,815 of the discount to interest expense. As of March 31, 2021, no discount remained.

On January 31, 2021, the holder of the Note agreed to extend the due date for the Note to April 2, 2021. In consideration for extending the repayment date to April 2, 2021, the Company issued to the note holder 50,000 shares of its common stock and the interest rate of the Note was increased to 10% per annum. The Company recorded the fair market value of the common stock issued of $23,500 as a discount to the note for which was fully amortized to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

On April 16, 2021, the holder of the Note agreed to extend the due date for the Note to June 18, 2021. In consideration for extending the repayment date, the Company issued to the note holder 100,000 shares of its common stock, 100,000 shares of common stock for accrued interest through execution date and provided the holder with the option to extend the payment to September 15, 2021 for which an additional 150,000 shares of common stock would be provided, if extended.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDER’S DEFICIT

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has entered into various employment and advisory agreements for which shares of common stock are issued with a variety of vesting provisions. The Company typically determines the fair market value of these awards on the date of grant and expensing that value over the vesting period which mirrors the service period.

In May 2020, the Company entered into two-year employment agreements with Matthew Gregarek, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Burcham, the Company’s President, and Daniel Garza, the Company’s Chief Marketing Officer. Among various other salary and bonus terms, the agreements also provide for the award of shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Under these agreements, a total of 6,300,000 fully vested shares of common stock were granted upon execution of the agreements. An additional 1,300,000 shares of common stock were awarded that will vest on April 1, 2021.

These options will vest in tranches at various dates through May 1, 2021 with escalating exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $7.50 and are exercisable for approximately five years. These options were valued at $1,056,695 using a Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model.

The fair value of the options granted in 2020 are estimated using a Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

In 2021, the Company granted options to purchase 6,147,500 shares of common stock to employees and consultants. Some of the grants had effective dates within the 2020 calendar year. These options will vest in tranches at various points through 2023 with escalating prices ranging from $0.05 to $7.50 and are exercisable through various points through 2023.

These options were valued at $1,070,043 using a Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $332,078 as stock-based compensation. The remaining expense outstanding is $737,965 for which will be recorded through 2023.

On April 25, 2021, the Company revised the terms of the $1m convertible note detailed in Note 6 to redefine the accrual of interest under the convertible note and to adjust the balance due to reflect accrued interest prior to April 25, 2021.

The investment is accounted for using the equity method.

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.

Results of Operations

Revenue

We generated $794,148 of revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, in comparison with $1,091 for the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase of $793,057 is primarily due to operational sales from the Company’s acquisition in SKM, as well as wholesale sales of hemp distillate product sold through Test Kitchen. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, approximately 86% of the Company’s revenue was from sales made by the Company’s SKM dispensary in Dumont, Colorado, and approximately 13% of the Company’s revenue was from sales made by Test Kitchen. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, no sales were generated by Prolific Nutrition, Gratus Living, Love Pharm or EdenFlo.

Cost of Goods Sold.

We generated $467,952 of cost of goods sold for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, in comparison with $0 for the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase of $467,952 is due to sales activity stated above.

Gross Profit/(Loss).

We generated $326,196 gross profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, in comparison with $1,091 for the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase of $325,105 is due to operational activity. The Company, in prior years did not have on-going sales operations.

General and Administrative Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, totaled $3,708, in comparison with $35,151 for the comparable quarter a year ago. The decrease of $31,443 is due to product creation in the prior year.

Other Income / Expense

Other income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, totaled $1,187,920, in comparison with $65,999, for the comparable quarter a year ago. The increased expense of $1,121,921, is primarily due to increased interest from additional funding, an allocation of bad debt expense on a note receivable, losses on investment valuation, and changes in the fair market value of derivative liabilities incurred.

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.

On April 28, 2021, the Company received $500,000 related to additional borrowings under the Loan Agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received $480,000 related to the sale of 1,258,161 shares of common stock.

In March 2021, the Company commenced and subsequently closed a private offering of its preferred stock for up to $2 million in proceeds. 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.

On May 14, 2021, the Company received $660,000 related to the issuance of the first tranche of 660 shares of the Company’s preferred stock and 500,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.75.

Going forward we are dependent upon raising capital to the extent cash flows from our operations are not significant enough to our cash flow needs. We currently have two financing agreements in place, as disclosed above.

For the next 12 months our plan of operations is to expand our current activity at SKM and increase consumer product offerings in Test Kitchen. We believe that our current cash on hand, cash flows from operations and expected proceeds from financing agreements in place will allow us to meet our cash flow requirements for a period in excess of 12 months.

Cash Flows

Net Cash used in Operating Activities.

We used cash in our operating activities due to our losses from operations. Net cash used in operating activities was $774,794 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 in comparison to $605,618 for the comparable period a year ago, an increase of $169,176 or 28%.

Net Cash from Financing Activities.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, we raised $420,708 primarily through the issuance of common stock. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, we raised $1,556250 primarily through the issuance of notes. The $1,135,542 or 73% decrease in cash flows from financing activities were primarily due to a $1,500,000 proceed from notes payable recorded in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA, for the purposes of these financial statements, shall mean:

The Company’s loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization adjusted to exclude the impact of (a) loss on impairment of tangible or intangible assets; (b) gain or loss on disposal of assets, including notes receivables; (c) gain or loss from the early extinguishment, redemption or repurchase of debt, (d) stock-based compensation expense and (e) the loss from derivative liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA will also exclude any expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Company’s evaluation, pursuit, or consummation of one or more acquisitions or transactions (which such expenses are considered to be incurred in connection with extraordinary, unusual, or infrequently occurring events reported in the Company’s public filings).

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, EBITDA decreased to $2,233,899 from $3,005,477 in the prior comparable year.

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 March 31, 2021 due to the following material weakness:

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 March 31, 2021.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
