“estimate,” “consider,” or similar
expressions are used.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance. They involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.

(Formerly

Notes
to Financial Statements
September

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting
Policies
Nature of Business
WEED,
Inc. (the “Company”), (formerly United Mines, Inc.) was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona on
August 20, 1999 (“Inception Date”) as Plae,
Inc. to engage in the exploration of gold and silver mining
properties. On November 26, 2014, the Company was renamed
from United Mines, Inc. to WEED, Inc. and was repurposed to pursue
a business involving the purchase of land, and building Commercial
Grade “Cultivation Centers” to consult, assist, manage
& lease to Licensed Dispensary owners and organic grow
operators on a contract basis, with a concentration on the legal
and medical marijuana sector. The Company’s plan is to become
a True “Seed-to-Sale” company providing infrastructure,
financial solutions and real estate options in this new emerging
market. The Company, under United Mines, was formerly in the
process of acquiring mineral properties or claims located in the
State of Arizona, USA. The name was previously changed on February
18, 2005 to King Mines, Inc. and then subsequently changed to
United Mines, Inc. on March 30, 2005. The Company trades
on the OTC Pink Sheets under the stock symbol: BUDZ.
On
April 20, 2017, the Company acquired Sangre AT, LLC, a Wyoming
company doing business as Sangre AgroTech. (“Sangre”).
Sangre is a plant genomic research and breeding company comprised
of top-echelon scientists with extensive expertise in genomic
sequencing, genetics-based breeding, plant tissue culture, and
plant biochemistry, utilizing the most advanced sequencing and
analytical technologies and proprietary bioinformatics data systems
available. Sangre is working on a cannabis genomic study to
complete a global genomic classification of the cannabis plant
genus.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management
are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained
therein.
The
Company has a calendar year end for reporting
purposes.
Basis of Presentation:
The
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
2017, has been derived from audited consolidated financial
statements and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 ( the “financial
statements”), have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and related footnotes included in our
Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the year ended December 31,
2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”), filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). It is
management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments), have been made which
are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The
condensed consolidated financial statements include all material
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading
as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Operating results for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for
the year ending December 31, 2018.

accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts

headquarters are located in Tucson, Arizona and its operations are
primarily within the United States, with minimal operations in
Australia.
These
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for
fair presentation of the information contained
therein.

Notes
to Financial Statements
September
30, 2018
Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under
FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
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,
prepaid expenses and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet
are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due
to the short term nature of the instruments.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired.
Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon
historical results and current projections of earnings before
interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash
flows of future operating results based upon a rate that
corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in
operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds
discounted cash flows of future operations.
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
Under
FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure
is no longer an alternative.
Revenue Recognition
On
January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition
standard ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606)”, using the cumulative effect (modified
retrospective) approach. Modified retrospective adoption requires
entities to apply the standard retrospectively to the most current
period presented in the financial statements, requiring the
cumulative effect of the retrospective application as an adjustment
to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial
application. No cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings
was recorded as the Company’s has no historical revenue. The
impact of the adoption of the new standard was not material to the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company expects
the impact to be immaterial on an ongoing basis.
The
primary change under the new guidance is the requirement to report
the allowance for uncollectible accounts as a reduction in net
revenue as opposed to bad debt expense, a component of operating
expenses. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on
our condensed consolidated financial statements, other than
additional financial statement disclosures. The guidance requires
increased disclosures, including qualitative and quantitative
disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with
customers.
The
Company operates as one reportable segment.
Sales
on fixed price contracts are recorded when services are earned, the
earnings process is complete or substantially complete, and the
revenue is measurable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in
the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will
defer any revenue from sales in which payment has been received,
but the earnings process has not occurred. Sales have not yet
commenced.
Advertising and Promotion
All
costs associated with advertising and promoting products are
expensed as incurred. These expenses were $998 and $3,136 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May
2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2014-09,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),”
which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance,
including industry-specific guidance. Subsequent to the issuance of
ASU No. 2014-09, the
FASB
clarified the guidance through several Accounting Standards
Updates; hereinafter the collection of revenue guidance is referred
to as “Topic 606.” Topic 606 is based on the principle
that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also requires
additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer
contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments
and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract.
The Company adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified
retrospective transition method; accordingly, Topic 606 has been
applied to the fiscal 2018 financial statements and disclosures
going forward, but the comparative information has not been
restated and continues to be reported under the accounting
standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the
adoption of Topic 606 to be immaterial to our operating results on
an ongoing basis.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The standard
requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures
about leasing arrangements. We plan to adopt the standard on
January 1, 2019. We are currently assessing the impact that the new
standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, which
will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross up of our operating
leases to show equal and offsetting lease assets and lease
liabilities.
In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation – Stock
Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting. This ASU expands the scope of Topic
718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods
and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this
ASU will become effective for us beginning January 1, 2019, and
early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate that this ASU
will have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
Note 2 – Going Concern
As
shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no
revenues, incurred net losses from operations resulting in an
accumulated deficit of $41,232,071 and had limited working capital
at September 30, 2018. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is actively pursuing new products and services to begin
generating revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking
additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. The
Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure equity
and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company
will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it
would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going
concern.
The
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
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.

become exercisable at the rate of 1/3 upon the six-month
anniversary, 1/3 upon the one-year anniversary and 1/3 upon the
second anniversary of the grant. The options were valued at
$45,987,970 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
Company recognized expense of approximately, $15,329,323 relating
to these options during the nine months ended September 30,
2018.
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 5 – Investment in Land and Property
On July 26, 2017, the Company closed on the purchase of property,
consisting of a home, recreational facility and RV park located at
5535 State Highway 12 in La Veta, Colorado to be developed into a
bioscience center. The home has 4 Bedrooms and 2 Baths, and the
recreational facility has showers, laundry, and reception area with
an additional equipment barn attached, in addition to another
facility with 9,500 square feet. The RV Park has 24 sites with full
hook-ups including water, sewer, and electric, which the Company
plans to convert into a series of small research pods. Under the
terms of the purchase agreement, the Company paid $525,000 down,
including 25,000 shares of our common stock, and Sangre took
immediate possession of the property. Under the terms of the
original purchase agreement, the Company was obligated to pay an
additional $400,000 in cash and issue an additional 75,000 shares
of our common stock over the next two years in order to pay the
entire purchase price. On January 12, 2018, the Company entered
into an Amendment No. 1 to the $475,000 principal amount promissory
note issued by the Company to the seller of the property, under
which both parties agreed to amend the purchase and the promissory
note to allow the Company to pay off the note in full if it paid
$100,000 in cash on or before January 15, 2018 and issued the
seller 125,000 shares of common stock, restricted in accordance
with Rule 144, on before January 20, 2018. Through an escrow
process, the Company paid the seller $100,000 in cash and issued
him 125,000 shares of common stock in accordance with the Amendment
No. 1, in exchange for a full release of the deed of trust that was
securing the promissory note, on January 17, 2018. As a result, the
$475,000 principal promissory note issued to the seller was deemed
paid-in-full and fully satisfied and the Company owned the property
without encumbrances as of that date. The Company recorded a loss
on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1,065,000 based on the
fair value of the consideration paid and the carrying value of the
note payable on the settlement date. The total purchase price was

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
On
November 8, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with
Gregory DiPaolo’s Pro Am Golf, LLC to acquire improved
property located in Westfield, New York. The total purchase price
of $1,600,000 is to be paid with a deposit of 50,000 shares of
common stock, followed by cash of $1,250,000 and 300,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock to be delivered at closing. The
deposit of 50,000 shares issued as a deposit was $42,500 based on
the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date
of grant. Subsequently, we entered into an amended Purchase and
Sale Agreement on October 24, 2017, under which we amended the
total purchase price to Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000)
and forfeited our previous deposit of stock. Under the terms of the
amended agreement, we paid an additional Ten Thousand Dollar
($10,000) deposit on October 26, 2017, with the remaining purchase
price to be paid on or before the date closing date, which was
scheduled on May 1, 2018. The property is approximately 43 acres
and has unlimited water extraction rights from the State of New
York. We plan to use this property as our inroads to the New York
hemp and infused beverage markets in the future. There are no
current plans or budget to proceed with operations in New York, and
there will not be until proper funding is secured after acquiring
this property.
On
January 19, 2018, the Company was sued in the United States
District Court for the District of Arizona ( William Martin v. WEED, Inc.. , Case
No. 4:18-cv-00027-RM) by the listed Plaintiff. The Company was

performance, breach of contract-damages, breach of the covenant of
good faith and fair dealing, conversion, and injunctive relief. In
addition to the Verified Complaint, the Company was served with an
application to show cause for a temporary restraining order. The
Verified Complaint alleges the Company entered into a contract with
the Plaintiff on October 1, 2014 for the Plaintiff to perform
certain consulting services for the Company in exchange for 500,000
shares of its common stock up front and an additional 700,000
shares of common stock to be issued on May 31, 2015. The Plaintiff
alleges he completed the requested services under the agreement and
received the initial 500,000 shares of common stock, but not the
additional 700,000 shares. The request for injunctive relief asks
the Court to Order the Company to issue the Plaintiff 700,000
shares of its common stock, and possibly include them in its
Registration Statement on Form S-1, or, in the alternative, issue
the shares and have them held by the Court pending resolution of
the litigation, or, alternatively, sell the shares and deposit the
sale proceeds in an account that the Court will control. The
hearing on the Temporary Restraining Order occurred on January 29,
2018. On January 30, 2018, the Court issued its ruling denying the
application for a Temporary Restraining Order. Currently, there is
no further hearing scheduled in this matter . On February 13, 2018, the Company filed
an Answer to the Verified Complaint and Counterclaim. On February
15, 2018, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Verified
Complaint. On February 23, 2018, the Company filed a Motion to
Amend Counterclaim to add W. Martin’s wife, Joanna Martin as
a counterdefendant. On March 9, 2018, William Martin filed a Motion
to Dismiss the Counterclaim. On March 12, 2018, William Martin
filed a Motion to Amend the Verified Complaint to, among other
things, add claims against Glenn Martin and Nicole and Ryan Breen.
On March 27, 2018, the Court granted both William Martin and WEED,
Inc.’s Motions to Amend. On March 27, 2018, the Company filed
an Amended Counterclaim adding Joanna Martin. On April 2, 2018, the
Company filed a Motion to Amend our Counterclaim to add a breach of
contract claim. On April 10, 2018, the Company filed an Answer to

Complaint. On May 31, 2018, the Court issued an Order: (a) granting
the Company’s Motion to Dismiss thereby dismissing the
Plaintiff’s claims for breach of the covenant of good faith
and fair dealing and the claim for conversion, (b) denying William
Martin’s Motion to Dismiss the counterclaim as to the claims
for fraudulent concealment and fraudulent misrepresentation, but
granting the Motion to Dismiss only as to the claim for fraudulent
nondisclosure, and (c) granting the Company’s Motion to Amend
its Counterclaim to add a breach of contract claim. On June 1,
2018, William Martin and his wife filed their Answer to the First
Amended Counterclaim. On June 1, 2018, William Martin and his wife
filed their Answer to the Second Amended Counterclaim. In addition

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Disclaimer
Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Our
Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also
statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements
are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and
uncertainties include international, national and local general
economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to
sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully
make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and
availability; new product development and introduction; existing
government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply
with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the
loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and
difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business
strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to
attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect
technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to
time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Although the
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the
good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be
based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently,
and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to
risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ
materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the
forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and
consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in
our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the
risks and factors that may affect our business, financial
condition, and results of operations and prospects.
Overview
We
are an early stage holding company currently focused on the
development and application of cannabis-derived compounds for the
treatment of human disease. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sangre AT,
LLC (“Sangre”), has begun a planned five-year Cannabis
Genomic Study to complete a genetic blueprint of the Cannabis plant
genus, by creating a global genomic classification of the entire
plant. By targeting cannabis-derived molecules that stimulate the
endocannabinoid system, Sangre’s research team plans to
develop scientifically-valid and evidence-based cannabis strains
for the production of disease-specific medicines. The goal of the
research is to identify, collect, patent, and archive a collection
of highly-active medicinal strains. We plan to conduct this study
only in states where cannabis has been legalized for medicinal
purposes.
Using
annotated genomic data and newly generated phenotypic data, Sangre
plans to identify and isolate regions of the plant genome which are
related to growth, synthesis of desired molecules, and drought and
pest resistance. This complex data set would then be utilized in a
breeding program to generate and establish new hybrid cultivars
which exemplify the traits that are desired by the medical and
patient community. This breeding program would produce new seed
stocks and clones, which we plan on patenting. If successful this
intellectual property should generate immense value for the
Company. After developing a comprehensive understanding of the
annotated genome of a variety of cannabis strains, and obtaining
intellectual property protection over the most promising strains,
we plan move forward either independently or with strategic
partners to develop medicinal products for the treatment of a
multitude of human diseases.
25
Our
current, short-term goals relate to the Cannabis Genomic Study and
the resulting development of a variety of new cannabis strains,
and, over the next 5 years, we plan to process those results in
order to become an international cannabis research and product
development company, with a globally-recognized brand focusing on
building and purchasing labs, land and building commercial grade
“Cultivation Centers” to consult, assist, manage &
lease to universities, state governments, licensed dispensary
owners and organic grow operators on a contract basis with a
concentration on the legal and medical cannabis
sector..
Our
long-term plan is to become a true “Seed-to-Sale”
global holding company providing infrastructure, financial
solutions, product development, and real estate options in this new
emerging market. Our long term growth may also come from the
acquisition of synergistic businesses, such as distilleries, to
make anything from infused beverages to super oxygenated water with
CBD and THC. Currently, WEED Inc. has formed WEED Australia Ltd.,
registered as an unlisted public company in Australia to address
this Global demand. We have also formed WEED Australia Ltd.,
registered as an unlisted public company in Australia, to address
future global demand, however the entity has been dormant since its
inception. We will look to conduct future research, marketing,
import/exporting, and manufacturing of our proprietary products on
an international level.
In
furtherance of our current, short terms goals, Sangre initiated the
cannabis genome project in April 2017, by extracting DNA from seven
cannabis strains in Tucson, Arizona. Sangre followed the initial
extraction with a second round of extractions in July 2017. The
extracted DNA is currently being sequenced by the Sangre team using
a binary sequencing approach based on the use of two distinct
sequencing technologies and a proprietary bioinformatics database.
Following the generation of genomic data, the sequences will be
annotated (compared) against over 300,000 plant genes to elucidate
specific de novo pathways responsible for the synthesis of specific
compounds and classes of compounds.
Under
the genome project directives, additional strains are slated for
sequencing and annotation as part of the overall expansion of this
research project. An integral part of this expansion is the
acquisition of additional DNA extraction, amplification, and
sequencing technologies. The expansion also includes the
installation of high-level IT networks for data acquisition,
analysis, and storage.
On July 26, 2017, we acquired property located in
La Veta, Colorado in order to Sangre to complete its 5-Year, $15+
million Cannabis Genomic Study. The site includes a 10,000+ sq. ft.
building that will house Sangre’s genomic research facility,
a 4,000+ square foot building for plant product analytics and plant
product extraction, a 3,500 sq. ft. corporate office center, and 25
RV slots with full water and electric, which we plan to convert
into a series of small research pods. Under the terms of the
purchase agreement, we paid $525,000 down, along with 25,000 shares
of our common stock, and Sangre took immediate possession of the
property. We are obligated to pay an additional $400,000 in cash
and issue an additional 75,000 shares of our common stock over the
next two years in order to pay the entire purchase price. We
estimate it will take approximately $675,000 in order to convert
the existing buildings into the facilities necessary for Sangre
AgroTech to conduct its research, plus an additional $1,000,000 for
security & ground buildout, and an additional $1 million for
scientific equipment, ordered for plant production and product
extraction. The initial
property renovations have been extended to Spring of 2019,
primarily due to the weather in Colorado during the winter season.
As a result, the equipment is now scheduled to be delivered in Q2
or Q3 of 2019. We will need to raise additional funds in order to
pay the remainder of the purchase price, as well as to complete the
planned renovations.
WEED
Inc. acquired the property in La Veta, Colorado in order to
facilitate the expansion of the genomic studies and the development
of new hybrid strains. The facility is currently under re-design
and renovation to convert the existing structures into a
world-class genetics research center.
26
A
gene-based breeding program will allow us to root out inferior
cultivars and replace them with fully-validated and patentable
cultivars which produce consistent plant products for the medicinal
markets. The gene-based breeding program will improve cultivars and
introduce integrity, stability, and quality to the market in the
following ways:
●
|
accelerated and optimized growth rates; modern genomic resources
will enhance traditional breeding methods
|
●
|
generate new cultivars, accelerating and perfecting the art of
selective breeding
|
●
|
provide the ability to assay for specific genes within the crop,
establish strain tracking, and promote market quality
assurance
|
●
|
improved disease, pest, and drought resistance of the Cannabis
plant
|
We
believe the gene-based breeding program will facilitate and
accelerate:
●
|
improved therapeutic properties, i.e., increased THC/CBD
concentration and the production of specific classes of oils and
terpenes
|
●
|
enhanced opportunities for new drug discovery
|
●
|
accelerated breeding of super-cultivars: drought, pest, and mold
resistant, increased %THC
|
●
|
revenue generation through our unique ability to breed and
genetically fingerprint new, super-cultivars; establish strong
patent protection; and provide these cultivars to the market on a
favorable cost and royalty basis.
|
Our
goal with this program is to develop a translational breeding
program to establish a new collection of Cannabis cultivars for the
Colorado, national, and international markets. Through the use of
genetic screening technology, cultivars can be up-selected for
specific traits and grown to address the needs of consumers in the
medicinal market.
Corporate Overview
We
were originally incorporated under the name Plae, Inc., in the
State of Arizona on August 20, 1999. At the time we operated under
the name Plae, Inc., no business was conducted. No books or records
were maintained and no meetings were held. In essence, nothing was
done after incorporation until Glenn E. Martin took possession of
Plae, Inc. in January 2005. On February 18, 2005, the corporate
name was changed to King Mines, Inc. and then subsequently changed
to its current name, United Mines, Inc., on March 30, 2005. No
shares were issued until the Company became United Mines, Inc. From
2005 until 2015, we were an exploration stage mineral exploration
company that owned a number of unpatented mining claims and Arizona
State Land Department claims.
On
November 26, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the
redomestication of our company from Arizona to Nevada (the
“Articles of Domestication”), and approved Articles of
Incorporation in Nevada, which differed from then-Articles of
Incorporation in Arizona, primarily by (a) changing our name from
United Mines, Inc. to WEED, Inc., (b) authorizing Twenty Million
(20,000,000) shares of preferred stock, with blank check rights
granted to our Board of Directors, and (c) authorizing Two Hundred
Million (200,000,000) shares of common stock (the “Nevada
Articles of Incorporation”). On December 19, 2014, the
holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock approved the
Articles of Domestication and the Nevada Articles of Incorporation
at a Special Meeting of Shareholders. On January 16, 2015, the
Articles of Domestication and the Nevada Articles of Incorporation
went effective with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.
On February 2, 2015, our name change to WEED, Inc., and a
corresponding ticker symbol change to “BUDZ” went
effective with FINRA and was reflected on the quotation of our
common stock on OTC Markets.
27
These
changes were effected in order to make our corporate name and
ticker symbol better align with our short-term and long-term
business focus. Our current, short-term goals relate to the
Cannabis Genomic Study and the resulting development of a variety
of new cannabis strains, and, over the next 5 years, we plan to
process those results in order to become an international cannabis
research and product development company, with a
globally-recognized brand focusing on building and purchasing labs,
land and building commercial grade “Cultivation
Centers” to consult, assist, manage & lease to
universities, state governments, licensed dispensary owners and
organic grow operators on a contract basis with a concentration on
the legal and medical cannabis sector.
Our
long-term plan is to become a true “Seed-to-Sale”
global holding company providing infrastructure, financial
solutions, product development, and real estate options in this new
emerging market. Our long term growth may also come from the
acquisition of synergistic businesses, such as distilleries, to

registered as an unlisted public company in Australia, to address
future global demand, however the entity has been dormant since its
inception. We will look to conduct future research, marketing,
import/exporting, and manufacturing of our proprietary products on
an international level.
On
April 20, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with
Sangre AT, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, under which we
acquired all of the issued and outstanding limited liability
company membership units of Sangre in exchange for Five Hundred
Thousand (500,000) shares of our common stock, restricted in
accordance with Rule 144. As a result of this agreement, Sangre is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of WEED, Inc.
This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements included as part of this Quarterly
Report.

Operating Loss; Net Loss
Our net loss increased by $6,740,533, from ($587,148) to
($7,327,681), from the three months ended September 30, 2017
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our
operating loss increased by $6,894,139, from ($582,553) to
($7,476,692) for the same period. The increase in operating loss
and net loss compared to the same period of the prior year is
primarily a result of our significant increase in professional
fees, as well as increases in our general and administrative
expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses. These changes
are detailed below.
Revenue
We have not had any revenues since our inception. We are company
focused on the medical cannabis sector. In the short-term we plan
to conduct Sangre’s Cannabis Genomic Study over the next 5
years and process those result, and in the long-term is to be a
company focused on purchasing land and building commercial grade
“Cultivation Centers” to consult, assist, manage &
lease to licensed dispensary owners and organic grow operators on a
contract basis, with a concentration on the legal and medical
marijuana (Cannabis) sector. Our long-term plan is to become a True
“Seed-to-Sale” company providing infrastructure,
financial solutions and real estate options in this new emerging
market, worldwide. We plan to make our brand global and therefore
we will look for opportunities to conduct future research,
marketing, import and exporting, and manufacturing of any
proprietary products on an international level.
29
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by $132,694, from
$166,729 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to $34,035
for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to a
reclassification of approximately $164,000 of construction in
progress expenses to fixed assets.
Professional Fees
Our professional fees increased by $6,999,481 during the three
months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2017. Our professional fees were $7,399,214 for the
three months ended September 30, 2018 and $399,733 for the three
months ended September 30, 2017. These fees are largely related to
fees paid for legal and accounting services, along with
compensation to independent contractors, and increased primarily as
a result of increased stock-based compensation awards. The
significant increase in professional fees for the three months
ended September 30, 2018, related to stock-based compensation
awards, as well as, costs incurred in connection with the land and
property acquisitions and the work related to our registration
statement filing and related amendments. We expect these fees to
grow steadily as our business expands if we continue to use
stock-based compensation. In the event we undertake an unusual
transaction, such as an acquisition, securities offering, or file a
registration statement, we would expect these fees to substantially
increase during that period.
Depreciation and Amortization
During the three months ended September 30, 2018 we had
depreciation and amortization expense of $43,443, compared to
$16,091 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Our
depreciation and amortization expense primary relates to our
property acquisitions.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased slightly from $4,595 to $4,123 for the
three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period
in 2018. Our interest expense primarily relates to the mortgages
maintained on our acquired properties.
Other Income
Other income increased from $0 to $155,696 for the three months
ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2018. Our
other income for the three months ended September 30, 2018, related
to an insurance settlement received in connection with a fire at
the Company’s La Veta property.

months ended September 30, 2018. Our operating loss increased by
$19,429,917, from ($1,801,957) to ($21,231,874) for the same
period. The increase in our net loss was primarily the result of
increases in our operating expenses as well as a significant loss
on extinguishment of debt. Our operating loss compared to the prior
year period is primarily a result of a significant increase in
professional fees and an increase in general and administrative
expenses. These changes are detailed below.
Revenue
We have not had any
revenues since our inception. Prior to February 18, 2005, we were
an exploration stage mineral exploration company that owned
a number of unpatented mining claims and Arizona State Land
Department claims. In late 2014, we changed our short-term and
long-term business focus, which in the short-term is to conduct
Sangre’s Cannabis Genomic Study over the next 5 years and
process those result, and in the long-term is to be a company
focused on purchasing land and building commercial grade
“Cultivation Centers” to consult, assist, manage &
lease to licensed dispensary owners and organic grow operators on a
contract basis, with a concentration on the legal and medical
marijuana (Cannabis) sector. Our long-term plan is to become a True
“Seed-to-Sale” company providing infrastructure,
financial solutions and real estate options in this new emerging
market, worldwide. We plan to make our brand global and therefore
we will look for opportunities to conduct future research,
marketing, import and exporting, and manufacturing of any
proprietary products on an international level.
31
General and Administrative Expenses
General and
administrative expenses increased by $492,502, from $319,176 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $811,678 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to increased
consulting and administrative costs incurred as we changed our
business focus from mining to one involved in the cannabis research
industry.
Professional Fees
Our
professional fees significantly increased during the nine months
ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2017. Our professional fees were $20,291,424 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $1,457,030 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017. These fees are largely related to
fees paid for legal and accounting services, along with
compensation to independent contractors, and increased
significantly primarily as a result of increased stock-based
compensation awards. We expect these fees to continue to grow
steadily as our business expands. In the event we undertake an
unusual transaction, such as an acquisition, securities offering,
or file a registration statement, we would expect these fees to
substantially increase during that period.
Depreciation and Amortization
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we had depreciation
and amortization expense of $128,772, compared to $25,751 in the
three months ended September 30, 2017. Our depreciation and
amortization expense primary relates to our property
acquisitions.
Goodwill Impairment
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred a goodwill
impairment expense of $0, compared to $1,015,910 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017. The goodwill impairment expense
for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, relates entirely to
our acquisition of Sangre AT, LLC, which closed on April 20, 2017.
In connection with the acquisition we acquired all of the
outstanding membership interests of Sangre in exchange for a total
of 500,000 shares of our common stock issued to seven individuals.
Those shares were valued at $1,003,850 based on the closing price
of our common stock on the date of grant. A goodwill impairment
loss is recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its
implied fair value. The goodwill impairment expense we recognized
during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is the difference
between the value of the shares of our common stock we granted,
plus the value of the liabilities we assumed, and the fair value of
the identifiable assets we acquired when we closed the acquisition
of Sangre.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred a loss on
extinguishment of debt of $1,064,720, compared to $67,983 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017. The loss on extinguishment of
debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, relates to the
settlement of the Miller Note in March 2018 with common stock with
a fair value in excess of the indebtedness. The loss on
extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30,
2017, relates to entirely to the fact that on June 16, 2017, we
issued 70,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for the
extinguishment of an outstanding promissory note, consisting of
$35,000 of principal and $33,250 of interest.
32
Interest Income
Interest income increased from $0 to $9,338 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Our
interest income primarily relates to amounts earned in connection
with our cash balances.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased from $6,813 to $11,930 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in
2018. Our interest expense primarily relates to the mortgages
maintained on our acquired properties.
Other Income
Other income increased from $0 to $155,696 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2018. Our
other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related
to an insurance settlement received in connection with a fire at
the Company’s La Veta property.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, because of our
operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash
flows. Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2018 was $47,606 and
our monthly cash flow burn rate was approximately $45,000. Our cash
on hand was primarily proceeds from the sales of our securities. We
currently do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs
from our revenues for many years to come.
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and
total liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017,
respectively, are as follows:

|
Our total assets increased by $1,860,249 as of September 30, 2018
as compared to December 31, 2017. The increase in our total assets
between the two periods was primarily attributed to a significant
increase in our property and equipment, net due to the properties
we acquired in 2018, and increases in our prepaid expenses and
deposits at September 30, 2018, offset slightly by less cash on
hand at September 30, 2018.
Our current liabilities and total liabilities decreased by
$562,116, as of September 30, 2018 as compared to December 31,
2017. A large portion of this decrease was due to decreases in
accounts payable, accrued officer compensation, accrued interest,
notes payables, and notes payables, related parties. The
significant decreases in accrued officer compensation and notes
payables were due to the fact we paid significant amounts off
during the period.
33
In order to pay our obligations in full or in part when due, we
will be required to raise capital from other sources. There is no
assurance, however, that we will be successful in these
efforts.
Cash Requirements
We had cash available as of September 30, 2018 of $47,606 and
$161,178 as of December 31, 2017. Based on our revenues, cash on
hand and current monthly burn rate of approximately $45,000, we
will need to continue borrowing from our shareholders and other
related parties, and/or raise money from the sales of our
securities, to fund operations.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operations
We had net cash used by operating activities of $2,304,454 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $418,989 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017. For the period in 2018,
the net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of
our net loss of ($22,150,783), offset by loss on extinguishment of
debt of $1,064,720, estimated value of shares issued for services
of $3,770,274, estimated value of vested stock options of
$15,329,323, depreciation and amortization of $128,772, and
adjusted by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of
$185,450, a decrease in accrued expenses of $178,584, and a
decrease in accounts payable of $82,726. For the period in 2017,
the net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of
our net loss of ($2,892,663), offset by goodwill impairment of
$1,015,910, loss on extinguishment of debt of $67,983, shares
issued for services of $1,340,271, depreciation of $25,751, and
adjusted by an increase in prepaid expenses of $6,100, accrued
expenses of $25,768, and accounts payable of $3,720.

in investing activities of $876,481, consisting of purchases of
property and equipment of $826,481 and purchase of intangible
assets of $50,000. For the period in 2017, the net cash used in
investing activities consisted of purchases of property and
equipment of $509,850, partially offset by cash received in
acquisition of $54.
Financing
Our net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018 was $3,067,363, compared to $1,193,699 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017. For the period in 2018,
our financing activities related to proceeds from the sale of
common stock of $3,023,550, proceeds from notes payable of $7,000,
and stock payable of $1,000,000, offset by repayments on notes
payable of ($963,187). For the period in 2017, our financing
activities related to proceeds from the sale of common stock of
$1,197,999 and proceeds from notes payable of $9,000, offset by
repayments on notes payable, related parties of
($13,300).

Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls Procedures
Disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure and control
procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is
accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of
September 30, 2018, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including our
chief executive officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and chief
financial officer (our Principal Financial Officer), of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are
inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of
disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of
human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and
procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and
procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their
desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and
implementing possible controls and procedures, management is
required to apply its reasonable judgment. We also do not have an
audit committee. Based on the evaluation described above, and as a
result, in part, of not having an audit committee and having one
individual serve as our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by
this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of September 30, 2018 to the same extent they were not
effective as of December 31, 2017.
As
funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional
measures to improve disclosure controls and
procedures.
(b)
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal controls over financial reporting.
(c)
Officer’s
Certifications
Appearing as an
exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are
“Certifications” of our Chief Executive and Financial
Officer. The Certifications are required pursuant to Sections 302
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302

Legal Proceedings
William Martin v. WEED, Inc. et al
On
January 19, 2018, we were sued in the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona (William Martin v. WEED, Inc..,
Case No. 4:18-cv-00027-RM) by the listed Plaintiff. We were served
with the Verified Complaint on January 26, 2018. The Complaint
alleges claims for breach of contract-specific performance, breach
of contract-damages, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, conversion,and injunctive relief. In addition to the
Verified Complaint, we were served with an application to show
cause for a temporary restraining order. The Verified Complaint
alleges we entered into a contract with the Plaintiff on October 1,
2014 for the Plaintiff to perform certain consulting services for
the company in exchange for 500,000 shares of our common stock up
front and an additional 700,000 shares of common stock to be issued
on May 31, 2015. The Plaintiff alleges he completed the requested
servicesunder the agreement and received the initial 500,000 shares
of common stock, but not the additional 700,000 shares. The request
for injunctive relief asks the Court to Order us to issue the
Plaintiff 700,000 shares of our common stock, and possibly include
them in our previously-filed Registration Statement on Form S-1,
or, in the alternative, issue the shares and have them held by the
Court pending resolution of the litigation, or, alternatively, sell
the shares and deposit the sale proceeds in an account that the
Court will control. The hearing on the Temporary Restraining Order
occurred on January 29, 2018. On January 30, 2018, the Court issued
its ruling denying the application for a Temporary Restraining
Order. Currently, there is no further hearing scheduled in this
matter.
On
February 13, 2018, we filed an Answer to the Verified Complaint and
a Counterclaim. In the original Counterclaim we named William
Martin as the sole counter-defendant, and alleged, that based upon
William Martin’s representations and recommendation, WEED,
Inc. hired Michael Ryan as a consultant. We allege that William
Martin misrepresented, failed to disclose, and concealed facts from
us concerning the relationship between him and Michael Ryan. We are
seeking compensatory damages caused by William Martin’s
misrepresentation, failure to disclose, and
concealment.
On
February 15, 2018, we filed a Motion to Dismiss the Verified
Complaint. On February 23, 2018, we filed a Motion to Amend
Counterclaim to add W. Martin’s wife, Joanna Martin as a
counterdefendant. On March 9, 2018, William Martin filed a Motion
to Dismiss the Counterclaim. On March 12, 2018, William Martin
filed a Motion to Amend the Verified Complaint to, among other
things, add claims against Glenn Martin and Nicole and Ryan Breen.
On March 27, 2018, the Court granted both William Martin and WEED,
Inc.’s Motions to Amend. On March 27, 2018, we filed an
Amended Counterclaim adding Joanna Martin. On April 2, 2018, we
filed a Motion to Amend our Counterclaim to add a breach of
contract claim. On April 10, 2018, we filed an Answer to First
Amended Verified Complaint. On April 23, 2018, Glenn Martin and
Nicole and Ryan Breen filed their Answer to the First Amended
Complaint. On May 31, 2018, the Court issued an Order: (a) granting
our Motion to Dismiss thereby dismissing the claims for breach of
the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and the claim for
conversion, (b) denying William Martin’s Motion to Dismiss
the counterclaim as to the claims for fraudulent concealment and
fraudulent misrepresentation, but granting the Motion to Dismiss
only as to the claim for fraudulent nondisclosure, and (c) granting
our Motion to Amend our Counterclaim to add a breach of contract
claim. In our breach of contract claim, we allege William Martin
breached his Consulting Agreement with us by failing to perform
consulting services to us in a professional and timely manner using
the highest degree of skill, diligence, and expertise pursuant to
the Consulting Agreement. We are seeking an award of compensatory
damages caused by the breach of the Consulting Agreement, together
with attorney’s fees and costs. On June 1, 2018, William
Martin and his wife filed their Answer to the First Amended
Counterclaim. On June 1, 2018, William Martin and his wife filed
their Answer to the Second Amended Counterclaim.
36
The
parties have conducted discovery and disclosure, including the
production by WEED, Inc. of voluminous electronically stored
information and the depositions of William, Martin, Glenn E.
Martin, Michael Ryan, and Chris Richardson. No other depositions
are presently anticipated.
On
September 14, 2018, WEED, Inc. filed a Motion for Partial Summary
Judgment (MPSJ) seeking the dismissal of all remaining claims in
the First Amended Complaint (Counts One, Two, Five, and Six).
Plaintiff William Martin has not filed a response to the MPSJ. The
Court has not set oral argument on the MPSJ.
No
trial date has been set. We deny the Plaintiff’s allegations
in the Amended Complaint in their entirety and plan to vigorously
defend against this lawsuit.
Travis Nelson v. WEED, Inc.
On
February 5, 2018, we were sued in Huerfano County, Colorado
District Court (Travis
Nelson v. WEED, Inc., et al., Case No. 18CV30003) by the
listed Plaintiff. The Verified Complaint alleges claims for breach
of fiduciary duty, public policy wrongful discharge, promissory
estoppel, and unjust enrichment. The Complaint alleges that
Plaintiff was wrongfully terminated by subsidiary Sangre AT, LLC
because of alleged “whistleblower activities” on behalf
of the Plaintiff. Plaintiff alleges that he was promised an annual
salary of $120,000, or $600,000 over the 5-year term of the alleged
contract. On March 15, 2018, we filed a Motion to Dismiss Verified
Complaint seeking dismissal of all claims. On April 5, 2018,
Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint in an effort to avoid the
issues raised in our Motion to Dismiss. The First Amended Verified
Complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, public
policy wrongful discharge, tortious interference with contractual
relations, promissory estoppel, and unjust enrichment. On April 18,
2018, we again filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s First
Amended Verified Complaint. On July 20, 2018, the Court issued an
Order granting, in part, our Motion to Dismiss First Amended
Verified Complaint. The Court’s Order permitted
Plaintiff’s breach of fiduciary duty/shareholder derivative
action to proceed but dismissed all remaining claims related to his
alleged improper termination. On August 2, 2018, Plaintiff filed a
Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended Complaint. The Court
issued an Order on October 1, 2018 granting Plaintiff’s
permission to file a Second Amended Complaint, which was then filed
on October 22, 2018. The Second Amended Complaint includes the
permitted breach of fiduciary duty/shareholder derivative action,
and also asserts a claim under Colorado’s Organized Crime
Control Act, and a wrongful discharge claim. We have answered the
Second Amended Complaint, denying all allegations and alleging that
the decision not to offer employment to Nelson was the result of
pre-employment background checks which showed an extensive criminal
history. The parties will exchange disclosure statements on
November 16, 2018. The matter will then move into the discovery
phase. We believe that the Plaintiff’s allegations are
baseless and plan to vigorously defend against this
lawsuit.
In the
ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in
various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process
is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of
such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our
financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the
opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters
currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have
a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
operations.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds
During
the three months ended September 30, 2018, we issued the following
unregistered securities:
Common Stock Sales
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we sold an
aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to two unrelated
investors for an aggregate of $1,600,000, with 1,100,000 of the
shares sold at $1.00 per share and the other 400,000 shares sold at
$1.25 per share. The issuances were made in reliance on Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. To make this
determination we relied on the representations of the purchaser
contained in the securities purchase agreements signed by the
purchasers, which indicated the purchasers were knowledgeable about
our management and our operations, were sophisticated investors,
and understood the purchase was part of a private
placement.
Common Stock Issued to Consultants
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we agreed to
issue an aggregate of 250,000 shares of our common stock to
unrelated consultants for services rendered. The shares were valued
at an average of $3.62 per share. The issuances were made in
reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. To make that determination we relied on the
representations of the purchasers contained in the consulting
agreements signed by the purchasers and the fact the consultant did
work for the company and was familiar with the company, its
operations and its management.
