Agritek
Holdings Inc. (“the Company” or “Agritek Holdings”)
and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MediSwipe, Inc. (“MediSwipe”), Prohibition Products Inc. (“PPI”), and Agritek
Venture Holdings, Inc. (“AVHI”)
is a fully integrated, active investor and operator
in the legal cannabis sector. Specifically, Agritek Holdings provides strategic capital and functional expertise to accelerate
the commercialization of its diversified portfolio of holdings. Currently, the Company is focused on three high-value segments
of the cannabis market, including real estate investment, intellectual property brands; and infrastructure, with operations in
three U.S. States, Colorado, Washington State, California as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. Agritek Holdings invests its capital
via real estate holdings, licensing agreements, royalties and equity in acquisition operations.

The
Company intends to bring its’ array of services to each new state that legalizes the use of cannabis according to appropriate
state and federal laws. Our primary objective is acquiring commercial properties to be utilized in the commercial marijuana industry
as cultivation facilities in compliance with state laws. This is an essential aspect of our overall growth strategy because once
acquired and re-zoned, the value of such real property i
s substantially higher than under the previous zoning and use.
Once properties are identified
and acquired to be used for purposes related to the commercial marijuana industry as provided for by state law, and we plan to
create vertical channels within that legal jurisdiction including equipment financing, payment processing and marketing of exclusive
brands and services to retail dispensaries
Agritek’s business focus is primarily
to hold, develop and manage real property. The Company shall also provide oversight on every property that is part of its portfolio.
This can include complete architectural design and subsequent build-outs, general support, landscaping, general up-keep, and state
of the art security systems. At this time, Agritek does not grow, process, own, handle, transport, or sell marijuana as the Company
is organized and directed to operate strictly in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws. As the legal environment
changes in Colorado, California and other states, the Company’s management may explore business opportunities that involve
ownership interests in dispensaries and growing operations if and when such business opportunities become legally permissible under
applicable state and federal laws.
On March 26, 2019, we implemented
a 1-for-200 reverse stock split of our common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective
in the stock market upon commencement of trading on March 26, 2019. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every two-hundred shares
of our Pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of our common stock. No fractional shares
were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and any fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The
number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities were also reduced by
a factor of two-hundred as of March 26, 2019. All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this report have
been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The authorized number of shares and the par value per share of our common stock
were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.
Note 2 –
Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
include the consolidated accounts
of Agritek and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries MediSwipe, AVHI, The American Hemp Trading Company, Inc., a Colorado Corporation
(dba 77Acres, Inc.) and PPI. PPI, a Florida corporation, was originally formed on July 1, 2013 as The American Hemp Trading Company,
Inc. (“HempFL”) and on August 27, 2014, HempFL changed its’ name to PPI. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable from
amounts due from its customers upon the shipment of products. The allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses
charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely.
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based
on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information available
to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term. As of March 31, 2019, and December
31, 2018, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $44,068.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or
market value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving
inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts.

of $15,000, and as of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an allowance of $115,000 for impairment.
|
Deferred Financing Costs
The costs related to the issuance of debt are
capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method through the maturities of the related debt.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including
stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at
its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.
For option-based simple derivative financial
instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent
valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities
or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt issue costs
and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash,
or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying
debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued, the
Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount,
reducing the initial carrying value of the note and is amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the debt. If
a conversion of the underlying debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Marketable Securities and Other Comprehensive
Income
The Company classifies its marketable securities
as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with
unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate
component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings
in the period earned or incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost,
and except for land, depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The
Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amounts of assets may not be recoverable. In February, 2017, the Company entered into a land purchase contract to acquire approximately
80 acres including water and mineral rights. The total cost of the land was $129,555. The Company paid $41,554 at closing and issued
a note payable for $88,000. The Company is on the deed of trust of the property with a remaining note balance of $21,500 and $21,500
due the seller as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are
as follows:
Furniture and equipment

Depreciation expense of $10,098 and $8,430

Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment
when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Deferred rent
The
Company calculates the total cost of the lease for the entire lease period and divides that amount by the number of months of the
lease. The result is the average monthly expense and is charged to rent expense with the offset to deferred rent, irrespective
of the actual amount paid. The amounts paid are charged to the deferred rent account. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018,
the Company has a balance of $24,916 in deferred rent which is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January
1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue
from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps:
(1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction
price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance
obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605
— Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount
of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. There was
no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2019
and 2018.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities
at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents
the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction
between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset
or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value
on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels
of inputs to measure fair value:
|
•
|
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
•
|
Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
|
•
|
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
|
The carrying amounts of the Company's
financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The following table represents the Company’s
financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, for each
fair value hierarchy level:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance
with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects,
calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax
asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold
that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition,
measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Interest
and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid,
any interest or penalties.
Uncertain tax positions are measured and recorded
by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized
or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2005 remain subject to examination by federal and state
tax jurisdictions.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance
with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after
deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities, if any, outstanding during the period. As of March 31,
2019, there were warrants and options to purchase 320,426 shares of common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible
debt is convertible into approximately 4,435,649 shares of common stock. These amounts are not included in the computation of dilutive
loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock awards issued
to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of
(1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date
at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement
dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services
are provided. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company recorded stock- based compensation of $0, and $97,500,
respectively, (see Note 9).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising
The Company records advertising costs as incurred.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, advertising expense was $63 and $17,450, respectively.
Leases
The Company accounts
for leases under ASU 2016-02. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating
lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company leases an
office space and several retail locations used to conduct our business. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02,
applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to
not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any
expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the
effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment
is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially
all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of
the asset. We allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine
the lease payments. Leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019, are accounted for under ASC 840 and were not reassessed. We have
elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Operating lease ROU
assets
represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term
and
operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term
at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the
information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Operating lease expense is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in rent in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Note 3 –
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases
(Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance
sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee,
a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information
about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows
arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including
interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. This
guidance is reflected in these financial statements.
In November 2016,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230).” ASU No. 2016-18 requires that restricted cash
be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the change in cash flow. This guidance is reflected in these financial
statements.
In January 2017, the
FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the second step of the two-step goodwill
impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment
as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated
to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. Additionally, an
entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring
the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed
on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has not elected early adoption of this standard and is currently in the process
of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.
In May 2017, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” The
amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based award require an entity
to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2018, with
early adoption permitted. This ASU did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards that have been issued
or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note 6–
Concentration of Credit
Risk
Cash
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution,
which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insured institution insures
up to $250,000 on account balances.
Note 7 –
Note Payable
Note Payable Land
On March 18, 2014, in conjunction with the
land purchase of 80 acres in Pueblo County, Colorado, the Company paid $36,000 cash and entered into a promissory note in the amount
of $85,750. In November 2015, the Company was made aware that the land transaction regarding 80 acres in Pueblo County, Colorado,
may not have been properly deeded to the Company. The company was a party to the land purchase, however, the second party
to the land contract never filed the original quit claim deed on behalf of the Company, even though a copy of the notarized quit
claim deed was sent to the Company. In February, 2017, the original owner of the 80 acres foreclosed on the property from the second
party and the Company entered into a new land purchase contract (including water and mineral rights) directly with the landowner
on February 7, 2017. The Company is on the deed of trust of the property and as of March 31,2019, and December 31, 2018, the note
balance is $21,500 and $21,500, respectively.
Note 8 –
Convertible Debt
2018 Convertible Notes
On May 8, 2018, the Company entered into a
securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with L2 Capital, LLC (“L2”) pursuant
to which the Company issued and sold a promissory note to the Investor in the aggregate principal amount of up to $565,555 (the
“Note”), which is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
set forth in the Note. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 9% per annum. The aggregate principal amount of up to $565,555 consists
of a prorated original issuance discount of up to $55,555 and a $10,000 credit to L2 for transactional expenses with net consideration
to the Company of up to $500,000 which will be funded in tranches. The maturity date of each tranche funded shall be six (6) months
from the effective date of each payment and is the date upon which the principal sum, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest
and other fees for each tranche, shall be due and payable. L2 has the right at any time to convert all or any part of the funded
portion of the Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price, which is
equal to 58% multiplied by the lowest VWAP during the twenty-five (25) Trading Day period ending, in Holder’s sole discretion
on each conversion, on either (i) the last complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date or (ii) the Conversion Date (subject
to adjustment as provided in the Note), subject to the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined therein) under the Note.
In connection with the funding of the initial tranche $100,000 on May 23, 2018, the Company recorded $121,111 of the Note and
also issued a common stock purchase warrant to L2 to purchase up to 34,842 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant
to the terms therein (the “L2 Warrant”) as a commitment fee. The Company recorded an initial derivative liability
and derivative expense of $108,569 for the issuance of the warrant. The Company recorded a debt discount of $121,111 and during
the year ended December 31, 2018, recorded the full amortization expense of $121,111. At the time that each subsequent tranche
under the Note is funded by L2 in cash, then on such funding date, the warrant shares shall immediately and automatically be increased
by the quotient of 100% of the face value of the respective tranche and 110% of the VWAP of the common stock on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the funding date of the respective tranche. The L2 Warrant is exercisable for a period of five (5) years
from date of issuance. The L2 Warrant includes a cashless net exercise provision whereby L2 can elect to receive shares equal
to the value of the L2 Warrant minus the fair market value of shares being surrendered to pay for the exercise. Since the date
of the initial funding L2 has funded $350,000 of additional tranches and the Company increased the Note by $388,885. The Company
recorded an initial derivative liability on the additional tranches funded of $482,086, a debt discount of $393,885 and an initial
derivative expense of $88,201. On January 11, 2019, the Company received the final funding of $50,000 from the May 8, 2018, note
of L2 and the Company increased the Note by $55,559. For this funding the Company recorded a derivative liability of $85,849,
a debt discount of $55,559 and an initial derivative expense of $30,290. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company
recorded amortization expense of $215,586 on the Note, and their remains $98,878 of unamortized note discounts. The principal
and interest balance of the Note as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $595,263 was $524,565.
On July 5, 2018, as part of the Company’s
debt consolidation plan, the Company accepted and agreed to a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”), whereby, St George
Investments, LLC (“St’ George”) assigned $174,374.72 of principal and interest of their St George 2016 Note
(See above) and $927,323.67 of principal and interest on their St George 2017 Note (see above) to L2. The Company issued a 10%
Replacement Promissory Note (the “RPN”) to L2 for $1,101,698. The RPN matured on January 1, 2019, is now subject to
default interest rate of 18% per annum and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the discretion
of L2 at a conversion price equal to the lowest trading price during the twenty-five (25) trading days immediately prior to the
conversion date multiplied by fifty eight percent (58%), representing a forty two percent (42%) discount. During the three months
ended March 31, 2018, L2 converted $245,746 of the RPN into 910,000 shares of common stock at an average conversion price of $0.2701
per share. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the remining principal and interest balance of the RPN is $290,057 and
$521,133.
The Company determined that the conversion
feature of the 2017 and 2018 Convertible Notes represent an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable
number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the 2017 Convertible Notes were not considered to be conventional debt under ASC
815-40 (formerly EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s
Own Stock) and the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly,
the fair value of these derivative instruments being recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding
amount recorded as a discount to each Note. Such discount is being amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of
the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liability for derivative contracts are recorded in other income or expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet.
2019 Convertible Notes
On February 7, 2019, the Company entered
into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with L2, pursuant to which the Company issued
and sold a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $565,555 (the “Feb 2019 Note”), which is convertible
into shares of common stock of the Company, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the Note. The Note accrues
interest at a rate of 9% per annum. The aggregate principal amount of up to $565,555 consists of a prorated original issuance discount
of up to $55,555 and a $10,000 credit to L2 for transactional expenses with net consideration to the Company of up to $500,000
which will be funded in tranches. The maturity date of each tranche funded shall be six (6) months from the effective date of each
payment and is the date upon which the principal sum, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees for each tranche,
shall be due and payable. L2 has the right at any time to convert all or any part of the funded portion of the Note into fully
paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Price, which is equal to 58% multiplied by the
lowest VWAP during the twenty-five (25) Trading Day period ending, in Holder’s sole discretion on each conversion, on either
(i) the last complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date or (ii) the Conversion Date (subject to adjustment as provided in
the Note), subject to the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined therein) under the Note. In connection with the funding
of the initial tranche $50,000 on February 8, 2019, the Company recorded $65,555 of the Note, and also issued a common stock purchase
warrant to L2 to purchase up to 70,948 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms therein (the “L2
Warrant”) as a commitment fee. The Company recorded an initial derivative liability and derivative expense of $78,029 for
the issuance of the warrant. L2 funded an additional $115,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and the Company increased
the loan balance by $127,777. The Company recorded an initial derivative liability on the tranches funded of the Feb 2019 Note
of $325,398, a debt discount of $193,332 and an initial derivative expense of $132,00. During the three months ended March 31,
2019, the Company recorded amortization expense of $41,611 on the Feb 2019 Note findings and their remains $151,721 of unamortized
note discounts. As of March 31, 2019, the remining principal and interest balance of the FEB 2019 Note is $195,204.

Operating Lease
Right-Of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities
Operating lease right-of-use
assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest
rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 9.0%, as the interest rate implicit
in most of our leases is not readily determinable.
On October 5, 2017,
the Company agreed to lease from Mr. Friedman, a "420 Style" resort and estate property approximately one hour outside
of Quebec City, Canada. The fifteen-acre estate consists of nine (9) unique guest suites, horse stables, and is within walking
distance to a public golf course. A separate structure will serve as a small grow facility run by patient employees and caretakers
on the property which may be toured by guests of the facility. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will pay $8,000 per month
in exchange for the Company being entitled to all rents and income generated from the property. For the three months ended March
31, 2019, the Company paid and recorded $19,000 of expense, included in leased property expense, related party in the consolidated
statements of operations, included herein. The Company will be responsible for all costs of the property, including, but not limited
to, renovations, repairs and maintenance, insurance and utilities.
In adopting ASC Topic
842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess
under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company
did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical
expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected not to apply
ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company
recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $310,259.

Commitments and Contingencies
Office Space
In April 2014, the Company entered into a two-year
sublease agreement for the use of up to 7,500 square feet with a
Colorado based oncology
clinical trial and drug testing company and facility presently doing cancer research and testing for established pharmaceutical
companies seeking FDA approval for new drugs
. Pursuant to the lease, as amended, the Company agreed to pay $3,500 per month
for the space. The lease expired in April 2016, and the Company owes the landlord $48,750.
In
January 2017, the Company signed a five (5) year lease, beginning February 1, 2017, for approximately 6,000 square feet of office
space, comprised of two floors, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Pursuant to the lease, the Company will pay $3,000 per month for the
third floor of the building for the first year of the lease. The rent will increase 3% per year on February beginning in 2018 and
an additional 3% per year on each successive February 1, during the term of the lease. The landlord agreed that the month of February
2017, the rent was $1,500. The rent for second floor of the building will be $2,000 per month during the term of the lease and
the Company does not have any rent payments for the first three months of the lease (February 2017 through April 2017). Through
September 30, 2017, the Company calculated the total amount of the rent for the term lease and recorded straight line rent expense
of $45,417 and had made payments of $20,516. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has a balance of $24,916 in deferred rent which
is included in the consolidated balance sheet. The leases for the second and third floor were cancelled in September 2017 as a
result of Hurricane Irma.
Rent expense was $3,452 and $9,053 for
the three months ended March 31 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Leased Properties
On April 28, 2014,
the Company executed and closed a ten-year lease agreement for 20 acres of an agricultural farming facility located in South Florida
following the approval of the so-called “Charlotte’s Web” legislation, aimed at decriminalizing low grade marijuana
specifically for the use of treating epilepsy and cancer patients. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the Company maintains
a first right of refusal to purchase the property for three years. The Company has recorded $38,244 of expense (included in leased
property expenses) for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
The
Company is currently in default of the lease agreement, as rents have not been for the second year of the lease beginning May 2015.
On July 11, 2014,
the Company signed a ten-year
lease agreement for an additional 40 acres in Pueblo,
Colorado. The lease requires monthly rent payments of $10,000 during the first year and is subject to a 2% annual increase over
the life of the lease. The lease also provides rights to 50 acres of certain tenant water rights for $50,000 annually plus cost
of approximately $2,400 annually. The Company paid the $50,000 in July 2014, and has not used the property and any water and has
not paid for any water rights after September 30, 2015. The Company has not recorded any expense for the three months ended March
31, 2018, and 2017. The Company is currently in default of the lease agreement, as rents have not been paid since February 2015.
Agreements
On April 5, 2017, the Company executed
a five (5) year operational and exclusive licensing agreement with a third party who leases a 15,000-sq. ft. approved cultivation
facility located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Company will be the exclusive funding source, and supervise all infrastructure buildout,
equipment lease/finance, security systems and personnel and provide access of seasoned Colorado and California cultivation crews
to ensure the facility meets all standard operating procedures as set forth by the Department of Health of Puerto Rico. Under the
agreement, the Company is to receive $12,000 a month in consulting fees, licensing fees on all vaporizer and edible sales, equipment
and lighting rental and financing fees along with equity interest in the property. As of March 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company
has invested $190,000 and $170,000, respectively.
On August 7, 2017, the Company signed
a LOI with Green Acres, whereby in consideration of consulting fees, licensing fees on all vaporizer and edible brands, equipment
and lighting rental and financing fees, the Company will provide up to $250,000 of working capital and potentially, up to $3,500,000
for the buyout of Green Acres existing mortgage on their Washington State facility. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had invested
$115,000. During 2018, management recorded an allowance of $115,000 for the impairment of the asset.
On December 12, 2018, the Company entered
into an Employment and Board of Directors Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Mundie, pursuant to which
Mr. Mundie will serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer for an initial six- month term. Mr. Mundie’s employment is terminable
by him or the Company at any time (for any reason or for no reason) with a ninety-day notice from either party to the other. Pursuant
to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Mundie will receive a base salary of $90,000 per annum. In the event that Mr. Mundie’s employment
is terminated within three months of commencing employment with the Company and such termination is not due to Mr. Mundie’s
voluntary resignation (other than at the request of the Board or the majority shareholders of the Company), Mr. Mundie will be
entitled to continued payment of his base salary for the remainder of the Agreement. In addition to the base salary, the Company
will grant to Employee seventy- five thousand (75,000) shares of the Company's common stock in Employee's name to be held in escrow
for the benefit of Employee (the "Company Common Stock"). The Company shall release twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares
of Company's Common Stock, and such shares shall then immediately vest on the six-month anniversary of the Agreement (e.g., June
12, 2019) and the Company shall release the remaining fifty thousand (50,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, and such
shares shall then immediately vest in favor of the Employee, if Mr. Mundie is the Interim CEO or CEO of the Company on December
15, 2019.
Legal & Other
On March 2, 2015, the Company, the Company’s
CEO and the Company’s CFO at the time were named in a civil complaint filed by Erick Rodriguez in the District Court in Clark
County, Nevada (the “DCCC”). The complaint alleges that Mr. Rodriguez never received 250,000 shares of Series B preferred
stock that were initially approved by the Board of Directors in 2012, subject to the completion of a merger of a company controlled
by Mr. Rodriguez. Since the merger was never completed, the shares were never certificated to Mr. Rodriguez. On March 21, 2017,
the DCC agreed to Set Aside the Entry of Default against the Defendants. Mr. Rodriguez resigned in June 2013. On April 12,
2018, an Arbitrator issued a final award to Rodriguez in the amount of $399,291. The Company and the Company’s counsel believe
the Arbitrator denied a number of detailed objections to the award, which cited clear mistakes as to Nevada law and to the facts.
The Company recorded a loss on legal matter, included in other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017. On May 3, 2018, the
Arbitrator issued an amended final award of $631,537, inclusive of interest and legal fees. The Company recorded a loss of $232,246
on the legal matter, included in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company has retained a Nevada attorney
who is an expert in fighting attempts to convert arbitration awards into judgments in Nevada courts, to work with our arbitration
counsel. A hearing is scheduled on June 12, 2018 in District Court in Clark County Nevada to confirm or reject the award.
The Company will vigorously defend any adverse ruling including appeals to the Nevada Supreme Court.
On May 6, 2016, the Company, B. Michael Freidman
and Barry Hollander (former CFO) were named as defendants in a Summons/Complaint filed by Justin Braune (the “Plaintiff”)
in Palm Beach County Civil Court, Florida (the “PBCCC”). The complaint alleges that Mr. Braune was entitled to shares
of common stock of the Company. On December 5, 2016, the PBCCC set aside a court default that had been previously issued. The defendants
have answered the complaint, including the defenses that Mr. Braune advised the Company’s transfer agent and the Company
in his letter of resignation dated November 4, 2015, clearly stating that he has relinquished all shares of common stock. The Company
has filed a counterclaim suit against the Plaintiff, as well as sanctions against the Plaintiff and their counsel.
Note 14 –
Income Taxes
The Company accounts
for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such
assets will not be realized through future operations.
No provision for
federal income taxes has been recorded due to the available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9,918,962 will
expire in various years through 2032. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized
in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and according
ly,
the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the future tax loss carry forwards.
The
actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the statutory income tax rate to the Company's
loss before income taxes. The components of these differences are as follows at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Note 15 –
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2019, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $27,942,729 and working capital deficit of $3,547,155, inclusive of a derivative liability of $1,728,062.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 16 –
Subsequent Events
On April 3, 2019, the Company received the next funding tranche
of $75,000 from L2 and increased the Feb 2019 Note balance by $83,333.
On April 26, 2019, the Company completed the
closing of a private placement financing transaction with Power Up Lending Group, LTD (“Power Up”), pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “Power Up Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Power Up Purchase Agreement, Power Up purchased
an 12% Convertible Debenture (the “Power Up Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $128,500, and delivered
on May 3, 2019 (the “Funding Date”), gross proceeds of $125,000 excluding transaction costs, fees, and expenses. Principal
and interest on the Power Up Debentures is due and payable on April 26, 2020, and the Power Up Debenture is convertible into shares
of the Company’s common stock beginning six months from the Funding Date, at a VCP. The VCP is calculated as the lowest closing
bid price during the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the conversion date multiplied by sixty three percent (63%),
representing a thirty seven percent (37%) discount.
On April 30, 2019, the Company along with 1919
Clinic, LLC (“1919”) signed an option to purchase the building 1919 is currently operating in, from the owner for $1,000,000.
A non-refundable deposit of $50,000 was paid in consideration of the one- month option to purchase the building.
On May 7, 2019, the Company received a funding
tranche of $150,000 from L2 and increased the Feb 2019 Note balance by $166,667.
The Company has evaluated subsequent
events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company
has determined that there are no other such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial statements, except as
stated herein.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management’s discussion
and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management.
This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,”
and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports
or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes
to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak
only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for
the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
The independent auditor’s reports on
our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph
that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the factors
prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below and also in Note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
While our financial statements are presented
on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources.
Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise
to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. As of March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents
of $10,493, a decrease of $66,523, from $77,016 as of December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019, we had current liabilities of $3,605,231
(including $1,728,062 of non-cash derivative liabilities) compared to current assets of $58,076 which resulted in working capital
deficit of $3,547,155. The current liabilities are mostly comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible debt, derivative
liabilities, lease liabilities and notes payable.
Currently, we have limited operating capital.
The Company anticipates that it will require a minimum of $2,000,000 of working capital to complete substantially all of its desired
business activity for the next twelve months, including bringing new products to market. The Company has earned limited revenue
from its business operations. Our current capital and our other existing resources will be sufficient only to provide a limited
amount of working capital, and, to date, the revenues generated from our business operations have not been sufficient to fund our
operations or planned growth. As noted above, we will require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and
to further expand our business. We may be unable to obtain the additional capital required. Our inability to generate capital or
raise additional funds when required will have a negative impact on our operations, business development and financial results.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019,
net cash used in operating activities was $276,523 compared to $460,918 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company
had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019, of $952,374 partially offset by non-cash expenses of derivative expenses
of $503,790 and the amortization of discounts and financing fees on convertible notes of $215,585, depreciation expense of $10,098
and amortization of deferred financing costs of $33,891.
The Company had net income for the three
months ended March 31, 2018 of $1,870,075 primarily attributable to a gain of $2,901,355 in the change of the fair value of derivative
liabilities, partially offset by non-cash expenses of stock- based compensation of $97,500, the initial derivative liability expense
of $44,206 on new convertible notes issued and the amortization of discounts and financing fees on convertible notes of $203,450,
loss on debt settlement of $58,759 and loss on legal matter of $232,246.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019,
net cash used in investing activities was $20,000 compared to $54,563 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the three
months ended March 31, 2019, the Company purchased furniture and equipment of $0 compared to $19,563 for the three months ended
March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company expended $20,000 and $35,000, respectively, to
invest in two separate five- year exclusive licensing and operation agreements.
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$230,000 and $411,942 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 activity was comprised of proceeds
received of $215,000 from the issuance of $248,931 of convertible notes and $15,000 related to Stock Purchase Agreements. The activity
three months ended March 31, 2018 was comprised of proceeds received related to the issuance of convertible promissory notes of
$275,000 and $340,000 related to Stock Purchase Agreements with St. George. The Company also made payments of $178,058 of principal
and accrued interest on convertible promissory notes and $25,000 on notes payable.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019,
cash and cash equivalents decreased by $66,523 compared to $103,539 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Ending cash and
cash equivalents at March 31, 2019, was $10,493 compared to $201,350 at December 31, 2018.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Our management
periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience
and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates
as a result of different assumptions or conditions.
Basis of Presentation and Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
The consolidated financial statements of the Company
include the consolidated accounts of
Agritek and its wholly owned subsidiaries AVHI, Prohibition Products, Inc. (“PPI”), and the American Hemp Trading Company,
Inc., a Colorado corporation (dba 77 Acres, Inc.). PPI, a Florida corporation, was originally formed on July 1, 2013 as The American
Hemp Trading Company, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Hemp FL”) and on August 27, 2014, Hemp FL changed its name to PPI.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company
adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial
sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the
contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate
the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation
is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue
Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid
by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. There was no impact on the
Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable
from amounts due from its customers upon the shipment of products. The allowance for losses is established through a provision
for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability
is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables,
based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information
available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term. As of March 31, 2019, and
December 31, 2018, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $44,068.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost
or market value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow- moving
inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts.
Notes receivable
As of March 31, 2019, the Company has
recorded notes receivable the following:
|
•
|
$190,000 pursuant to a five (5) year operational and exclusive licensing agreement with a third party who leases a 15,000-sq. ft. approved cultivation facility located in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
We evaluate long-lived assets and identifiable
intangible assets with finite useful lives in accordance with ASC 350-30 and ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), and accordingly, management reviews our long-lived assets and identifiable intangible
assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
such assets may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of the future undiscounted net cash flows expected
to be realized from the asset is less than its carrying amount. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Considerable judgment is
necessary to estimate the fair value of the assets and accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.
Our most significant estimates and judgments relating to the long-lived asset impairments include the timing and amount of projected
future cash flows.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are determined
under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair
value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of
the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant
assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).
Fair value is the price that would be
received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant
information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company
also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with
normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
The highest priority is given to unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level
3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined
as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted
prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted
prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 – Prices
or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Credit risk adjustments are applied to
reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent
with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed
in the credit default swap market.
The Company's financial instruments consist
primarily of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, note payable and convertible debt.
The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term
maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments. The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative
of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share are computed
in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number
of shares of common March 31, 2019, stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities, if any, outstanding
during the period. As of March 31, 2019, there were warrants and options to purchase 320,426 shares of common stock and the Company’s
outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 4,435,649 shares of common stock. These amounts are not included
in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock awards
issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier
of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the
date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective
measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in
which services are provided. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stock- based compensation
of $0 and $97,500, respectively.
The independent auditors’ reports on
our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph
that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the factors
prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below and also in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements filed herein.
While our financial statements are presented
on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time, our auditors have raised a substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in
the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019 due to a control deficiency. During the period we did not have
additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. Due to the size
and operations of the Company, we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another company.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15
or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II.
Other Information
Item 1
.
Legal
Proceedings
On March 2, 2015,
the Company, the Company’s CEO and the Company’s CFO at the time were named in a civil complaint filed by Erick Rodriguez
in the District Court in Clark County, Nevada (the “DCCC”). The complaint alleges that Mr. Rodriguez never received
250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock that were initially approved by the Board of Directors in 2012, subject to the completion
of a merger of a company controlled by Mr. Rodriguez. Since the merger was never completed, the shares were never certificated
to Mr. Rodriguez. On March 21, 2017, the DCC agreed to Set Aside the Entry of Default against the Defendants. Mr. Rodriguez resigned
in June 2013. On December 10, 2018, the parties agreed to a confidential settlement on the matter. The Company recorded losses
of $0 and $232,246, on the legal matter, included in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
On May 6, 2016, the Company, B. Michael Freidman
and Barry Hollander (former CFO) were named as defendants in a Summons/Complaint filed by Justin Braune (the “Plaintiff”)
in Palm Beach County Civil Court, Florida (the “PBCCC”). The complaint alleges that Mr. Braune was entitled to shares
of common stock of the Company. On December 5, 2016, the PBCCC set aside a court default that had been previously issued. The defendants
have answered the complaint, including the defenses that Mr. Braune advised the Company’s transfer agent and the Company
in his letter of resignation dated November 4, 2015, clearly stating that he has relinquished all shares of common stock. The Company
has filed a counterclaim suit against the Plaintiff, as well as sanctions against the Plaintiff and their counsel.
