Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Financial Statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $25,272,281. The company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While the Company is expanding its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. However, as of June 30, 2022, the company balances were below the federally insured limit by approximately $215,177 Management is making certain arrangements to mitigate this risk during the next quarter.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s policy is that revenues will be recognized when control of the product is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that is observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021.

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from to seven years. Expenditures for renewals or betterments are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred the cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss thereon is reflected in operations. Company policies capitalize property and equipment for cost over $1,000, asset acquired under $1,000 are charge to operations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Because the Company has no net income, the tax benefit of the accumulated net loss has been fully offset by an equal valuation allowance.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

Company Overview
On October 25, 2019, the Company announced its entry into the cannabis industry by acquiring Resonate Blends LLC (“Resonate Blends”), a California-based cannabis wellness lifestyle product company built on a proprietary system of experiential targets. Resonate Blends is building a value-added, brand-focused cannabis organization offering premium brands of consistent quality. The Company also acquired Entourage Labs LLC (“Entourage Labs”), a sister company of Resonate Blends. Entourage Labs is the Intellectual Property (IP) subsidiary of Resonate Blends.
Based in Calabasas, California, the Company is a cannabis holding company centered on value-added holistic Wellness and Lifestyle brands. The Company’s strategy is to ignite future growth by building a purpose-driven portfolio of innovative, trusted national brands, emerging brands, research organizations, and a variety of retail channels. The Company’s focus is finding mutual value between product and consumer by optimizing quality, supply chain resources and financial performance. The Company offers a family of premium cannabis-based products of consistent quality based on unique formations calibrated to Resonate Blends effects system in what the Company believes is the industry gold standard in user experience.
Resonate believes the greatest long-term value creation in the cannabis industry will be in the establishment of high quality and consistent consumer brands. Resonate hopes to become a national leader through its vision in creating a family of brands designed specifically to deliver reliable, effective and beneficial experiences.
Resonate is committed to helping people live the life they love, but they do not make the medicinal vs. recreational distinction. This is a temporary legal separation in some states that should soon cease to exist. The Company believes in wellness for the whole person, especially people with insomnia, pain or anxiety who also want to enjoy friends, concerts and have satisfying intimate experiences. Resonate is designing experiences which should improve all areas of ones’ life.
To accomplish this, Resonate is Mastering the Art of Experience. This is the Company’s mission. By integrating science, technology, education, branding, marketing, sales and delivery - with every customer interaction they aim to provide exceptional experiences. Cannabis has a broad range of unique characteristics, and they are dedicated to harnessing and amplifying those characteristics to support healthy empowered and engaged lifestyles. From product development through customer communication, they prefect and demystify cannabis bringing innovative products to an increasingly sophisticated market. Resonate Blends has a strong social mission and the Resonate team is building a successful business by focusing its knowledge, skill and energy on creating wellness-lifestyle products which will improve community by helping individuals live more satisfying, meaningful and connected lives. The need for these products currently is crucial.

To communicate the breadth of wellness products that Resonate is developing, the Company created The Resonate System. The Resonate System graphically represents a spectrum of wellness products based on cannabis scaffolding. This system helps users easily select which product they want. Products based on The Resonate System deliver relaxation, freedom from pain and anxiety, boosts in focus and creativity, sensuality, human connection and joy. Koan products are formulated around a system of interconnected experience targets that will allow you to know exactly what to expect when using them.
While respecting and honoring the natural power of plant medicine, Resonate also employs advanced science, leading technology and a deep understanding of how various cannabis compounds, when working in the body, simultaneously can create unique effects and benefits (referred to as the “Entourage Effect”). Product developers blend cannabinoids and terpenes to formulate products with specific, controllable and repeatable beneficial effects. Through innovation, experimentation, testing and an iterative product development strategy, the Koan team has unlocked new plant constituent combinations resulting in unique, enjoyable and extremely effective wellness products unlike anything else in the marketplace. Resonate has filed a provisional patent for protection of these formulations and products in the future.
Koan, the Resonate Blends product family, is based around a comprehensive system of interconnected experience targets that allow people to select the products that best fit their lifestyle and health objectives. Koan products are dedicated to the efficacy and precision of functional experience targets across a broad range of product categories.
Resonate’s initial products are a completely unique class of products called Cordials. These blends offer a wide range of experiences not currently available in the cannabis market. Cordials are water-soluble and use nano-emulsification technology to allow for quick onset and a sustained and nuanced experience. Single dose, healthful, subtle in taste, cordials are an ideal way for people to intentionally improve their well-being. They can be shipped directly or substituted for alcohol as a cocktail mixer. A significant competitive advantage is that the Cordials allow users to select both the experience they want and the beverage they choose to enjoy them in.
Resonate’s Cordials have been developed in partnership with an award-winning advanced infusion technology partner and were launched to the retail channel in late Q2 of 2021. The company is now offering seven unique formulations and expects to have its Sleep Cordial in production by early Q3 2022. The Sleep Cordial has been thoroughly tested and is ready for launch once the multi-serve bottles are available. This blend will only come in a multi-serve bottle based on the anticipated consumer usage patterns and testing data available to the Company.
The Cordials were awarded the Golden Leaf Award as “Best New Brand of 2021” at the “Luxury Meets Cannabis Conference” held in New York City in December. Resonate also won a Cannabis Clio Award for “Brand Design” in 2021.
Resonate has formalized contracts with logistical, sales and marketing partners to build a digital native strategy supporting Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) sales. The D2C sales platform launched in October 2021 and now allows California consumers the ability to order on-line and have the Cordials home delivered in most metro areas within four hours. Based on customer demand, the Company is creating a “Singles” option for the Cordials which are now available. In response to customer requests, the company is now offering five popular blends in 10-serving bottles that provide a lower cost per serving and allow users to customize their servings to their personal preference. In addition, the company is also offering a 4-pack that also lowers the cost per serving while preserving the convenience and portability of the discrete smaller bottles.
The Company offers market support to select premium California dispensaries both in person and thorough the Leaf.VIP budtender training program. The Company expects that building its brand online will complement retail sales by increasing customer awareness and creating “pull-through” at brick-and-mortar facilities. The social media strategy was brought in-house during Q1 to both reduce overall costs and control the messaging to the appropriate audience for the Cordials.

Resonate recently hired an internal sales manager to oversee all sales efforts in Southern California and expects to hire a sales manager for Northern California in the near future. The Company implemented an in-house sales strategy in Q1 2022 to maximize both the dispensary outreach and budtender education – and to increase D2C sales platform activity. While wellness dispensaries will be a focus for the Company, the customer acquisition focus will now be towards the D2C portal. The Company has added several new retail partners in 2022 to include Atrium, Cornerstone Wellness, 99 High Tide, Artist Tree and Canni Delivery. The Cordials are now featured at West Hollywood’s The Artist Tree Studio Cannabis Lounge where music performers will be providing the entertainment events throughout the summer. The Studio Cannabis Lounge in West Hollywood is the only one of its kind in the United States and this partnership should provide users an interactive experience unavailable elsewhere.
With the new in-house sales strategy in place, new wellness dispensaries are expected to grow throughout 2022 in addition to the D2C sales platform activity. Wellness dispensaries are the main target due to the demographics of the consumer and the thorough educational process these dispensaries offer to buyers in their stores. Multi-state expansion through licensing arrangements with the Cordials is also being planned. Several retailers and leading brands in multiple states have reached out to Resonate requesting the Cordials to be stocked in their dispensaries. The Company is currently evaluating where and when to open new states outside of California.
A new unique edible line is currently being developed and is expected to be released towards the end of 2022. The form factor for the edible line will be unique in the market and also have the ability to target the desired experience of the consumer – similar to the Cordials.
The principal executive office is located at 26565 Agoura Road, Suite 200, Calabasas, CA 91302. The executive telephone number is (571) 888-0009.
Results of Operation for Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenues
We have generated $2,836 and $30,488 in sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared with no sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 on our current product line. We launched our first line of seven Cordial products in California and we have started to generate revenues from the sale of these products.
We anticipate increased revenues on our seven Cordials and newly anticipated Cordials, such as Sleep Cordial, discussed below, for the rest of 2022. We anticipate a rollout of new packaging configurations in Q3 2022 for our Cordials; to include a one-pack, a 4-pack to replace the 3-pack and a multi-dose bottle which is expected to bring the cost per dose down considerably. We also plan on launching additional Cordial formulations by late Q3 2022, to include our new Sleep Cordial - and a new line of edibles in late 2022, which we hope will contribute to increasing our revenues. As we have just launched our products, however, it may take some time for the markets to react, gain traction and result in brand awareness among our customers. There can be no assurances, however, that customers will positively react to our products.
Gross Profit
We paid $2,421 and $15,278 in cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, resulting in a gross profit of $415 and $15,210 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. We have not had any historical data to compare our margins for the sale of our new products. Our gross margin, which is the difference between our revenues and our cost of revenues, is expected to increase in future quarters as we work to increase our efficiency and lessen costs. In addition, our gross margin percentage, which was 14.6% and 49.90% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and we hope will stabilize in the 35% to 43% range as we implement cost saving measures and roll out new products to increase sales for the balance of 2022. We are also implementing new packaging configurations which we expect to stabilize our overall gross margins.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses were $290,211 and $945,830 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared with $1,397,013 and $2,175,025 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
5 |
The main drivers for the overall decrease in operating expenses in Q2 2022 were the reduction of Legal, Professional Fees and Salaries as well as a significant decrease in non-cash management fees.
Not having these non-cash management and broker fees would reduce our operating expenses by $1,106,802 and $1,229,195 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Our continued focus on sales, advertising, marketing and new product development costs to support our planned growth is expected to increase throughout 2022.
We spent and $87,738 less and $24,358 more on advertising for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, than for the same periods in 2021. We spent more on advertising for the six-month ended June 30, 2022 particularly the first quarter to introduce our Koan Cordials to the California retail channel, perform Search Engine Optimization (SEO), conduct Programmatic advertising, hire a professional agency to promote our Cordials on social media channels and other general advertising methods. We believe our advertising efforts will pay dividends throughout 2022 as the awareness groundwork has been established to educate the market on our family of Cordial formulations.
Professional fees decreased by $45,687 and $337,156 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, over for the same periods in 2021. Our professional fees were less for this period compared to last period, but we expect that professional fees will increase in 2022 as we continue to ramp up operations.
General and administrative expenses increased by $90,734 and decreased by $32,872 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, over for the same periods in 2021. The increased expenses resulted from establishing our internal sales team, attending strategic trade shows and bringing on consultants and financial analysts to assist in analyzing our acquisition strategy. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain fairly constant throughout 2022, but they could increase significantly if we acquire new companies as part of our overall corporate strategy.
We also expect that our operating expenses will increase in 2022 over 2021 as we roll out new products along with our existing products, and the increased expenses associated with operations.
Other Income/Expenses
We had other income of $501,526 and $1,632,390 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared with other expenses of $3,984,516 and $4,264,966 for the same period ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
The main reason for our other income in 2022 was the gain on revaluation of derivative liabilities. The main reason for our other expenses in 2021 was the loss on revaluation of derivative liabilities.
Net Income/Loss
We had net income of $211,730 and $701,770 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with a net loss of $5,381,529 and $6,439,991 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had total current assets of $315,546 consisting of $34,823 in cash, $14,551 in advances to suppliers and $266,172 in inventories. Our total current liabilities as of June 30, 2022 were $3,404,366. We had a working capital deficit of $3,088,810 as of June 30, 2022 compared with a working capital deficit of $3,306,752 as of March 31, 2022 and $4,133,368 as of December 31, 2021.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities used $1,009,564 in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with cash used of $1,802,187 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our negative operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was largely the result of our unrealized gain on derivative liability of $1,687,112, offset by our net income of 701,770. Our negative operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was largely the result of our net loss of $6,439,991, offset by share based compensation of $986,121.

Cash flows provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $1,031,474, compared with cash flows provided by financing activities of $2,684,794 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our positive cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of proceeds from issuance of common stock of $392,674, proceeds from Convertible notes payable of $788,800, offset by payments of notes payable of $150,000. Our positive cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 consisted of proceeds from issuance of common stock of $1,319,587, proceeds from Convertible notes payable of $1,870,000, offset by payments of notes payable of $504,793.
The features of the debt instruments and payables concerning our financing activities are detailed in the footnotes to our financial statements.
We are dependent on investment capital to continue our survival. We have raised money through convertible debt, almost always on unfavorable terms. There is no guarantee that these small convertible loans will be available to us in the future or on terms acceptable to us.
We also plan to raise money in the sale of our equity and debt securities. There can be no assurance of funds from these efforts or that any other type of additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2022, we have an accumulated deficit of $25,272,281. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While we are expanding our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2022, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the fiscal year has had or is expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.
Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending June 30, 2022. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
2. | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
3. | Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
To remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness once resources become available.
We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the period ended June 30, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
