PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements also include statements in which words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “consider,” or similar expressions are used.
 
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

WEED, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
(UNAUDITED)
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, 2018, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 ( 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, 2018 (the “2018 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

The consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiary listed above. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. The parent company, WEED and subsidiary, Sangre will be collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, or “WEED”. The Company's 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.
 
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, 2019. 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 $3,450 and $998 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

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.
 
The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. As of September 30, 2019, the adoption of the standard had no impact on the Company, as there were no leases in place longer than 12 months.
 
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 $72,995,556 and had limited working capital at September 30, 2019. 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.
 
As of December 31, 2018, the non-refundable deposit amount of $110,000 for the property located in Westfield, New York was recorded as a loss on deposit due to the uncertainty of the acquisition. As of March 31, 2019, the refundable deposit amount of $350,000 related to the purchase of the Sugar Hill golf course property was returned by the Law Office of Biltekoff.
 
As of June 28, 2019, a total deposit amount of $72,000 was transferred to Law Office of Biltekoff for the Sugar Hill golf course auction.
 
On July 14, 2019, the Company terminated the exclusive license and assignment agreement between Yissum Research Development Company and WEED, Inc. The second installment of the license fee of $400,000, due on May 1, 2019, was not paid, and the first installment of $100,000 was recorded as a loss on deposit.
 
As of September 25, 2019, an additional deposit of $20,000 was transferred to Law Office of Biltekoff for the Sugar Hill golf course auction, totaling $92,000.

The Company recognized expense of approximately, $15,329,323 relating to these options during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
 
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 as follows:

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 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. Currently, there will be an open bid for the property, and there is no guarantee the Company will win the bid to complete the acquisition. As a result, the $110,000 non-refundable deposit for the property was recorded as a loss on deposit at the end of December 31, 2018. On September 25, 2019, a total of $92,000 was issued as a deposit for the Sugar Hill golf course auction.

The Company was 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, 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.

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 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 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 to the above pleadings and motions, the parties have exchanged disclosure statements and served and responded to written discovery. The Company denies the Plaintiff’s allegations in the Verified Complaint in their entirety and plan to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. Due to the loss not being probable, no accrual has been recorded for the 700,000 shares of common stock the Plaintiff alleges he is owed under his agreement with the Company.

ITEM 2 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.
 
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, we have 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 a property located in La Veta, Colorado in order for 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 were obligated to pay an additional $400,000 in cash and issue an additional 75,000 shares of our common stock over the two next years in order to pay the entire purchase price. To date we have spent $354,000 renovating the property and an additional $400,000 on extraction and analytical lab equipment. We plan to complete the property renovations by Q3 of 2019, at an estimated cost of $300,000. We will need additional extraction equipment and analytical lab equipment, totaling approximately $700,000. We will need to raise additional funds in order to complete the planned renovations and pay the purchase price for the equipment.
 
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.
 
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 terpenses
 
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.
 
 
 
25
 
 
These changes were affected 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 make anything from infused beverages to super oxygenated water with CBD and THC. Currently, we have formed WEED Australia Ltd., registered as an unlisted public company in Australia to address this Global demand. We have also formed WEED Israel Cannabis Ltd., an Israeli corporation, to address future global demand. 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.

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.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $46,214, from $34,035 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $80,249 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to increases in salaries and wages.
 
Professional Fees
 
Our professional fees decreased by $1,333,318 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our professional fees were $6,065,896 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $7,399,214 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. These fees are largely related to fees paid for legal and accounting services, along with compensation to independent contractors, and decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in the value of stock-based compensation awards due to our lower stock price. 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, 2019 we had depreciation and amortization expense of $40,756, compared to $43,443 in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our depreciation and amortization expense primarily relates to our property and trademark acquisitions.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense decreased from $4,123 to $3,225 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2019. Our interest expense primarily relates to the mortgages maintained on our acquired properties.
 
Other Income
 
Other income during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0, compared to $155,696 for the three months ended September 30, 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.
 
Loss on Deposit
 
We had a loss on deposit of $100,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our loss on deposit during the three months ended September 30, 2019 related the termination of the exclusive license and assignment agreement between us and Yissum Research Development Company. The second installment of the license fee of $400,000, due on May 1, 2019, was not paid, and the first installment of $100,000 was recorded as a loss on deposit due to the termination.
 
Other Expense
 
Other expense increased from $0 to $2,562 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2019. Our other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019, relates to bank service charges.

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 a increases in the value of stock-based compensation awards due to our higher stock price for part of 2019. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 we had depreciation and amortization expense of $122,172, compared to $128,772 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our depreciation and amortization expense primarily relates to our property and trademark acquisitions.
 
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0, compared to $1,064,720 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to the settlement of the Miller Note in March 2018 with common stock with a fair value in excess of the indebtedness.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Introduction
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2019 was $12,440 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are as follows:

Our total assets decreased by $482,265 as of September 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018. The decrease in our total assets between the two periods was primarily attributed to decreases in our deposits, prepaid expenses and cash at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018.
 
Our current liabilities and total liabilities increased by $500,550, as of September 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018. This increase was due to increases in accrued officer compensation, notes payable, related party, notes payable, accrued expenses, and accrued interest, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.
 
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 of $12,440 and $70,608 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. 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.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
ITEM 4 
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, 2019, 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, 2019 to the same extent they were not effective as of December 31, 2018.
 
In addition to the deficiencies previously reported, we do not have formal processes related to the identification and approval of related party transactions.
 
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 Certifications”). This section of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1                 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 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 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.
 
 
 
31
 
 
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.
 
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. On November 26, 2018, plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion for partial summary judgment, together with a cross-motion for summary judgment on both plaintiff’s claims and the Corporation’s counterclaims. Those motions have been fully briefed. Originally, the Court set oral argument on the motions for May 16, 2019, but that hearing has been postponed by the Court due to health issues with Plaintiff’s counsel. The hearing has not been rescheduled. Subsequently, Plaintiff’s counsel withdrew and consequently, William Martin and his wife are unrepresented. By order of the Court, the Parties participated in a judicial settlement conference August 21, 2019 with Magistrate Judge Thomas Ferraro, but the case did not settle. On October 15, 2019, Judge Marquez heard oral argument on the cross-motions for partial summary judgment. The judge took the motions under considerations. The Parties are awaiting her decision.
 
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. Due to the loss not being probable, no accrual has been recorded for the 700,000 shares of common stock the Plaintiff alleges he was owed under his agreement with us.
 
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. After we successfully pursued motions to dismiss Plaintiff’s two initial Complaints, the Court issued an Order on October 1, 2018 granting Plaintiff permission to file a Second Amended Complaint, which was then filed on October 22, 2018. The Second Amended Complaint includes three claims: 1) breach of fiduciary duty/shareholder derivative action; 2) a claim under Colorado’s Organized Crime Control Act; and 3) 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, the core factual dispute in this case, was the result of pre-employment background checks that showed Nelson had an extensive, violent criminal history. The parties exchanged Initial Disclosures on November 11, 2018. We still have a motion pending with the Court that seeks attorneys’ fees in the amount of $53,000 for the expense of defending the first two Complaints. On January 31, 2019, Plaintiff submitted an Offer of Judgment under Colorado Statute §13-17-202 offering to dismiss the case in exchange for payment of $100,000. The Company has rejected this offer. Plaintiff served us with written discovery that we responded to in March 2019. The current Case Management Order requires the parties to arrange mediation by April 1, 2019. The parties are currently looking for available mediators and dates in April 2019. We believe that the Plaintiff’s allegations are baseless and plan to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. We not accrued any expenses related to this lawsuit due to the loss not being probable.

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.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
ITEM 2                 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we issued the following unregistered securities:
 
Common Stock Sales
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold an aggregate of 327,500 shares of our common stock to Roger Seabre and Lex Seabre, unrelated investors, for an aggregate of $148,000. 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, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 348,000 shares of our common stock to Michael Peskin, Daniel Weisnstock, George Wood, Kelly Davis, Robb Asbjornsen, Marialice Nichols, Todd Harriman, Kiante Carroll, Michael Miles, and Abraham Truitt, unrelated consultants, for services rendered. The shares were valued at an average of $0.58 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 agreements signed by the purchasers and the fact the consultants did work for the company and was familiar with the company, its operations and its management.

ITEM 5                 Other Information
 
Termination of License and Merger Agreement with Yissum
 
As previously disclosed, on March 1, 2019, we entered into an Exclusive License and Assignment Agreement (the “Technology Agreement”) with Yissum Research Development Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalam, Ltd., an entity organized in Israel (“Yissum”). Under the terms of the Technology Agreement, Yissum agreed to grant an exclusive license, and eventually assign, to us certain platform technologies relating to different formulations for administration and delivery of lipophilic compositions, (including cannabinoids) (collectively, the “Technology”) invented and/or developed by Prof. Elka Touitou at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which technologies are more fully described in the patent applications and/or patents listed in Appendix A to the Technology Agreement.
 
Under the Agreement, in exchange for an exclusive license to use the Existing Technologies, we were to pay Yissum a total of USD$1,000,000 as follows: (i) $100,000 within three (3) business days of signing the Technology Agreement (which amount has been paid), (ii) $400,000 on or before May 1, 2019, and (iii) $500,000 on or before December 31, 2019 (together, the “License Payments”). The grant of the exclusive license and the transfer to us of the responsibility for the administration and control of patent activities and patent expenses related to the Existing Technologies occurs after the USD$400,000 payment due May 1, 2019.
 
 
 
 
33
 
 
On July 9, 2019, we sent a letter to Yissum informing them of our decision not to pay the USD$400,000 installment payment referenced in the Technology Agreement that was originally due on May 1, 2019, and that we were electing to allow the Technology Agreement to automatically terminate on July 14, 2019. As a result, we do not believe any further payments are due to Yissum under the Technology Agreement and we do not any right to use the Technology. To date we have not received a response from Yissum regarding our letter. We elected to allow the Technology Agreement to terminate primarily due the difficulties in obtaining certain, necessary information regarding the Technology, as well as a decision by our management to concentrate our focus and resources on the Greg DiPaolo’s Pro Am Golf, LLC property located in Westfield, New York.
 
The description of the Technology Agreement set forth in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.14 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
New York Property
 
As announced previously in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Greg DiPaolo’s Pro Am Golf, LLC (“DiPaolo”) property located in Westfield, New York was put into foreclosure by the first position mortgage holder on the property. Under an agreement with DiPaolo, and in accordance with the process for the auction, we had a $120,000 non-refundable deposit down to acquire the property. Since the property was in foreclosure it was put up for auction, which occurred on July 1, 2019. At the auction, we were the winning bidder with a bid of $597,000. Our prior deposit payment of $120,000 is being credited towards the purchase price, with the remaining $477,000, due on July 31, 2019.
 
On July 31, 2019, we received a two-month extension to pay the final purchase price, until September 30, 2019, in exchange for a one-time payment of $20,000. We paid the $20,000 for the extension on July 31, 2019.
 
On September 26, 2019, we received another two-month extension to pay the final purchase price, until November 30, 2019, in exchange for a one-time payment of $20,000. We paid the $20,000 for the extension on September 26, 2019. Under the terms of our extension we are required to provide an update towards our financing on October 31, 2019. In the event it is determined by the bank that the sale to us is not likely based on our update on October 31, 2019, the bank may cancel the sale. We currently need to raise additional funds to pay the remaining purchase price by November 30, 2019.
 
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 if we are successful in acquiring the property, and there will not be until proper funding is secured after acquiring this property.
