**Part I**



**Item 1. Description of Business**



**Company Background**



Cannabis Sativa, Inc., formerly named Ultra Sun Corporation, was incorporated under laws of Nevada in November 2005. In 2020, we conducted our operations through our subsidiaries PrestoCorp, Inc. (“PrestoCorp”), a 51% owned Delaware corporation engaged in the telemedicine business. We also began 2021 with interests in GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”), a California corporation that serves as a contract manufacturer of products containing hemp-based CBD and i-Budtender (IBUD”), a Nevada corporation in the development stage for on-line referral business in the cannabis industry.



In April2021, we discontinued operations of GKMP and IBUD and sold our controlling interests in these subsidiaries. The operations of GKMP and IBUD for the year ended December 31, 2021 are reported separately as discontinued operations.



We also own 100% of the following subsidiaries: Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. (“Wild Earth”), a Nevada corporation, Eden Holdings LLC (“Eden”), a Virginia limited liability company, Kubby Patent and Licenses, Limited Liability Company (“KPAL”), a Texas limited liability company and Hi Brands International Inc. (“Hi Brands”), a Nevada corporation. Wild Earth, Eden, KPAL, and Hi Brands are currently inactive, but fit into our business strategy as discussed below.



Our common stock is quoted for trading on the OTCQB Market under the symbol CBDS.



We currently maintain virtual principal executive offices with our staff and contractors located remotely and typically working out of their homes. Our mailing address is 450 Hillside Drive, #A224, Mesquite, Nevada 89027. Our telephone number is (323) 420-8583.



**Business Strategy**



In 2023, we intend to focus on growth of our telemedicine business while seeking opportunities in brand development and marketing of products and services to the cannabidiol (“CBD”) and marijuana industries. We also intend to focus on the consummation of a merger with MJ Harvest, Inc. (“MJ”) whereby, if consummated, MJ will become a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the merger, current shareholders of MJ will receive an approximate 72% interest in the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.



***Telemedicine***



PrestoCorp (“PrestoDoctor”), offers an online telemedicine platform providing customer access to knowledgeable physicians to obtain a medical marijuana recommendation. PrestoDoctor uses secure video conferencing technology (https://prestodoctor.com) to provide a safe and confidential forum for the Doctor patient interview in accordance with state regulations governing issuance of medical marijuana cards. Appointments through PrestoDoctor’s website generally take 10-15 minutes and can be scheduled and completed in the same day. This convenience eliminates the need for patients to travel to a clinic. More than 100,000 users have registered to consult with PrestoDoctor’s 15+ licensed physicians across the United States. PrestoDoctor currently offers services in California, Nevada, New York, Missouri, and Oklahoma, and is actively targeting expansion into multiple additional states in the coming months.



Management is currently evaluating opportunities to expand the platform for medical marijuana evaluations into other states and is reviewing other telemedicine applications. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for expansion of telemedicine services across the United States, and our existing systems and infrastructure are well suited to providing other similar medical evaluations. The continuing growth of wearable devices and remote monitoring capabilities are further evidence that telemedicine will continue to grow in the coming periods. Growth of the platform to take advantage of these opportunities will require capital for development of new features and capabilities necessary to provide a new service, expansion of personnel and expansion of our contracted physician pool. No assurances can be given that our efforts to expand into new areas and/or provide new services will be successful.

***Brand Development and Product Marketing***



We have assembled a portfolio of brands, products, intangible assets, and expertise to allow research, development, acquisition and licensing of specialized cannabis and CBD related products, including cannabis and CBD formulas, edibles, topicals, strains, recipes and delivery systems. We plan to engage in marketing and branding within the cannabis and CBD spaces utilizing our existing brands, including our trademark pending “hi” brand, while also seeking out new opportunities for brand aggregation and marketing. In 2021, we were not able to focus on further development of these assets due to limitations on availability of capital and the need to devote our energies to growth in the telemedicine space.



In 2023, we hope to begin selling products through our existing online presence. Descriptions of the products/brands we intend to promote include:



*Wild Earth Naturals, Inc.*Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. is an herbal skin care products formulation and marketing company that targets the growing natural health care products market in the United States and abroad. We intend to develop and manufacture high-quality, herbal based skin care products providing healthier choices to consumers. We use specialized ingredient mixing processes to produce plant glycerite/mineral herbal blends and oil extractions, which we believe will be unique to the natural health products industry. The ingredients for our products are selected to meet a number of criteria, including, but not limited to, safety, potency, purity, stability, bio-availability, and efficacy. We plan to control the quality of our products beginning at the formulation stage and continuing through controlled sourcing of raw ingredients, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling.



*Hi Brands International Inc.*On February 6, 2015, the Company formed Hi Brands International Inc., a Nevada Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Hi Brands”). Hi Brands entered into a Purchase, Supply and Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Centuria Natural Foods, Inc. (“Centuria”) to develop a supply of proprietary CBD (Cannabidiol) Rich Hemp Oil products, but the agreement was never implemented and no business was ever transacted. As a result, Hi Brands International, Inc. has been inactive for the last several years. Although the Hi Brands business has been inactive, the Company believes that there is value in the name and that it may afford a sound outlet for the Company’s products as we build work to build out our product portfolio.



In order to capitalize on the Hi Brands concept, the Company will require capital for a virtual storefront design, online web presence, virtual shopping cart and e-payment capabilities. The concept may also be an attractive base for physical locations, which would then require capital for facilities, physical storefront and interior design, staffing, inventory, and marketing. Until a suitable capital formation plan can be developed and funded, the Hi Brands concept is likely to remain inactive.



*Other Opportunities.*In addition to licensing, branding and technology, we have the ability to offer mainstream medical prescription discount cards, for which the Company will receive a small percentage on each product purchased. This concept has not yet been implemented but is being evaluated by our Telemedicine division for feasibility and return on investment.



The Company continues to seek the acquisition of companies, intellectual property and other assets that fit within the company’s strategic plan of assembling a portfolio of cannabis industry related businesses that have a high growth potential and are accretive to shareholder value.



**Perceived Cannabis Industry Trends**



We believe the cannabis industry will be characterized by the following principal trends: an increased emphasis on high quality products; an increased emphasis on scientific validation for products in the market place; more liberal regulation in regard to cannabis, even under the current administration as states’ rights continue to emerge; more consolidation, take-over, and buy-out of companies in the retail, wholesale, and supply side channels; more mainstream companies entering the marketplace; and more funded research on the potential long-term health benefits of cannabis as well as its potential curative properties.

**Vision**



Our vision is to become a highly visible, diversified business promoting superior quality branded products and services and offering effective customer service, fair compensation, sound management and a great working environment. Over time, we plan to expand our branding, research and development, intellectual properties and licensing activities to reach markets covering telemedicine and consumer education. In order to achieve this vision, we plan to develop brands and branded products which will distinguish our online presence as a source for innovative and effective medicinal cannabis products and cost-effective alternatives for customers seeking quality, affordable natural health products to aid in wellness and appearance.



Through a long-term commitment to this vision, we hope to become known as a company that is committed to its customers, associates, and communities.



**Products**



Online Telemedicine. Through PrestoDoctor we provide access to knowledgeable physicians for a safe and confidential way to get a medical marijuana recommendation using secure video conferencing technology. Our online telemedicine generates 100% of our revenues.



Consumer Products.Through December 31, 2021, the products discussed below in this section are conceptual and have produced no significant revenues. We had intended to pursue the strategy described below in 2021, but lack of capital largely shifted our strategic implementation plans to 2022. In 2023, we expect to work on building a product catalogue as we begin testing the market through online sales of products, including:

**Marketing & Distribution**



*Market Conditions in the Cannabis Industry.*Our target markets are located in states that have legalized the production and use of cannabis. Eighteen states plus the District of Columbia have approved measures to legalize cannabis for adult recreational use. Thirty-seven states, the District of Columbia and five US territories have legalized the use of cannabis for medical use in some form. However, it may take multiple years for a state to establish regulations and for cannabis businesses to begin generating revenue from operations in a given state.



*Non-Infused Products and Merchandise.*We launched our www.wildearthnaturals.com website in August 2013 but the site has been largely dormant for several years. In 2023, we intend to use social media, primarily Facebook, to drive traffic to our websites. Our online stores at www.wildearthnaturals.com are not producing revenue at this time, but the website is active and ready to process sales orders once the Company rolls out the brand development and product marketing plan for our consumer products lines.



During 2023, we plan to utilize direct business to business sales, internet advertising, social media marketing, and trade show participation to generate sales leads, orders and to entry into leading retailers and wholesalers throughout the U.S. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in such efforts.



*Infused Products.*For cannabis infused products, we intend to develop our customer base through licensing agreements with third parties manufacturers who are compliant with state cannabis laws in the states in which they conduct business.



We plan to build brand awareness by utilizing a mix of social media, trade shows, education efforts, and direct marketing to targeted businesses.



*Geographic Presence.*We plan to build brand awareness for our products in states where medical cannabis is legal, and to sell non-infused products throughout the United States.



**Information related to MJ that the Company hopes to acquire through the pending merger**



Information relating to MJ can be found in the Company’s post-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form S-4/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2023.



**Competition**



*Cannabis Industry.*While we do not currently sell products regulated as cannabis (containing THC), we expect to license our brands and products to businesses that will sell cannabis in states where medicinal or recreational cannabis is legal. Therefore, we look to the participants in the medical and recreational cannabis markets for information on competition.



We believe the competition in the cannabis market will include numerous cannabis product companies that are fragmented in terms of geographic market coverage, distribution channels and product categories, with many companies taking a state-by-state approach. We believe that competition is principally based upon price, quality, efficacy of products, branding, marketing, customer service, and trade support. We anticipate that large pharmaceutical companies will eventually begin to more aggressively compete in the cannabis product market. These companies and certain larger entities may have broader product lines and/or larger sales volumes than companies such as ours. Larger entities entering this market may have significantly greater financial and other resources available to them and possess extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities. We anticipate that many of the larger competitors will be able to compete more effectively due to a greater extent of vertical integration. The entry of larger competitors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.



*Skin Care.*Our competition includes numerous skin care companies that are highly fragmented in terms of geographic market coverage, distribution channels, and product categories. In addition, large pharmaceutical companies compete with us in the skin care market. These larger companies have broader product lines and more substantial sales volumes, greater financial and other resources available to them, and possess extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities. Among our more prominent competitors are: Earthly Body, Burt’s Bees, Melaleuca and Clarins, all of which have substantially longer track records and greater financial resources and operating efficiencies than we will be able to develop in the near term. As a company with limited capital resources, we believe we will be at a competitive disadvantage until such time as we develop a broad portfolio of products that are known and accepted in the industry, and we are able to demonstrate a history of financial stability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in the market.

**Raw Materials and Suppliers**



Our products are produced using ingredients that we believe to be readily available from several sources. Our suppliers purchase raw materials from a number of different vendors. While we expect the raw materials we use to be readily available in normal times, the current COVID-19 pandemic and the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine have and are expected to continue to disrupt elements of the supply chain. At this time, we cannot determine the effect such disruptions may have on the availability of raw materials in future periods or the impact of such disruptions on our business development strategies.



**Intellectual Property**



We hold certain intellectual property (the “IP”) consisting of recipes and process/methods to maximize the cannabinoid concentrations used for manufacture of medical marijuana edibles, including our proprietary lozenge. We also hold rights to a proprietary recipe and process/method to maximize the cannabinoid concentrations to be used to make a salve/ointment containing CBD and Arnica Montana.



We are also the patent holder for a CTA strain of cannabis. We are continuing to pursue commercialization of the CTA strain, but no assurances can be given that the patented strain will result in development of any commercial products.



The Company intends to use or license the “hi” brand for skin care products, edibles (infused and non-infused), apparel and branded merchandise. We also hold a Federal trademark on the name and stylized branding of “Wild Earth Naturals”.



We have acquired registered U.S. Trademarks for Cannabis*Sativa(R), DISPENSARxY(R), and CannaRx(R). The IP identifiers are Cannabis*Sativa(R), Registration Number 4,868,622, DISPENSARxY(R), Registration Number 4,642,830 and CannaRx(R), Registration Number 4,725,687. The Marks are registered in CL 35 under Goods and Services. No assurance can be given that these marks will have any commercial value, or that they will offer any protection against potential competitors should they be commercialized.



**Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business**



Currently, our products consist of telemedicine services and we are developing and implementing a business strategy to sell products derived from cannabis plants or products containing THC. Accordingly, while the following discussion on governmental regulation is not directly applicable to the Company today, we may become subject to these regulations in the near future.



The United States federal government regulates drugs in large part through the Controlled Substances Act, or CSA. Marijuana, which is a form of cannabis, is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. As a Schedule I controlled substance, the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, or DEA, considers marijuana to have a high potential for abuse with no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States (except as disclosed below for epilepsy and related syndromes) and a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug under medical supervision. According to the U.S. federal government, cannabis having a concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, greater than 0.3% is marijuana. Cannabis with a THC content below 0.3% is classified as hemp. The scheduling of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance is inconsistent with what we believe to be widely accepted medical uses for marijuana by physicians, researchers, patients, and others. Moreover, as of November 30, 2020 and despite the clear conflict with U.S. federal law, 35 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medical use, while 15 of those states and the District of Columbia have legalized the adult-use of cannabis for recreational purposes. In November 2020, voters in Arizona, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota voted by referendum to legalize marijuana for adult use, and voters in Mississippi and South Dakota voted to legalized marijuana for medical use. As further evidence of the growing conflict between the U.S. federal treatment of cannabis and the societal acceptance of cannabis, the FDA on June 25, 2018 approved Epidiolex. Epidiolex is an oral solution with an active ingredient derived from the cannabis plant for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, in patients two years of age and older. This is the first FDA-approved drug that contains a purified substance derived from the cannabis plant. In this case, the substance is cannabidiol, or CBD, a chemical component of marijuana that does not contain the psychoactive properties of THC.

Marijuana is largely regulated at the state level in the United States. State laws regulating marijuana are in conflict with the CSA, which makes marijuana use and possession federally illegal. Although certain states and territories of the United States authorize medical or adult-use marijuana production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under United States federal law, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of marijuana and any related drug paraphernalia is illegal. Although our activities currently do not involve any products that contain THC and we are compliant with the applicable state and local laws in states where we do business, should we enter into a new area that involves THC products, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis may neither absolve us of liability under United States federal law nor provide a defense to any federal criminal action that may be brought against us.



In 2013, as more and more states began to legalize medical and/or adult-use marijuana, the federal government attempted to provide clarity on the incongruity between federal law and these state-legal regulatory frameworks. Until 2018, the federal government provided guidance to federal agencies and banking institutions through a series of DOJ memoranda. The most notable of this guidance came in the form of a memorandum issued by former U.S. Deputy Attorney General James Cole on August 29, 2013, which we refer to as the Cole Memorandum.



The Cole Memorandum offered guidance to federal agencies on how to prioritize civil enforcement, criminal investigations and prosecutions regarding marijuana in all states and quickly set a standard for marijuana-related businesses to comply with. The Cole Memorandum put forth eight prosecution priorities:







| | 1. | Preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------













| | 2. | Preventing revenue from the sale of marijuana from going to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels;
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------













| | 3. | Preventing the diversion of marijuana from states where it is legal under state law in some form to other states;
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------













| | 4. | Preventing the state-authorized marijuana activity from being used as a cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity;
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------













| | 5. | Preventing violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------













| | 6. | Preventing drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences associated with marijuana use;
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------













| | 7. | Preventing the growing of marijuana on public lands and the attendant public safety and environmental dangers posed by marijuana production on public lands; and
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------













| | 8. | Preventing marijuana possession or use on federal property.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------









On January 4, 2018, former United States Attorney General Sessions rescinded the Cole Memorandum by issuing a new memorandum to all United States Attorneys, which we refer to as the Sessions Memo. Rather than establishing national enforcement priorities particular to marijuana-related crimes in jurisdictions where certain marijuana activity was legal under state law, the Sessions Memo simply rescinded the Cole Memorandum and instructed that “[i]n deciding which marijuana activities to prosecute... with the [DOJ’s] finite resources, prosecutors should follow the well-established principles that govern all federal prosecutions.” Namely, these include the seriousness of the offense, history of criminal activity, deterrent effect of prosecution, the interests of victims, and other principles.

Under President Biden, Merrick Garland serves as Attorney General in his administration. It is not yet known whether the Department of Justice under President Biden and Attorney General Garland will re-adopt the Cole Memorandum or announce a substantive marijuana enforcement policy.



Nonetheless, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of marijuana will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. Unless and until the United States Congress amends the CSA with respect to marijuana (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current U.S. federal law. Currently, in the absence of uniform federal guidance, as had been established by the Cole memorandum, enforcement priorities are determined by respective United States Attorneys.



We are not aware of other specific governmental regulations that impact our business. We do, however, utilize Chinese vendors for manufacturing a significant portion of the products we sell. To the extent that tariffs are imposed on imported goods manufactured in China, our pricing structure and acceptance in the marketplace may be affected. We currently stock our products through distributors in foreign countries when appropriate and ship direct from our manufacturer to the foreign distributor when such can be done at a cost savings. We intend to continue to explore ways that we can hold our costs down on the products we sell in order to minimize price sensitivity concerns with our customers.



**Environmental Laws**



We are not aware of any environmental laws that would limit our ability to conduct our current sales and distribution activities in their present form or as we envision them in the near future. As we expand our operations to participate more directly in the cannabis and hemp industries as a distributor of cannabis and hemp products, we may become subject to environmental laws relating to water usage, recycling, waste disposal, and similar regulations that will vary depending on the location of our operations. We intend to address the impact of such environmental regulations when we have a specific use case to evaluate.



**Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees**



As of April 5, 2023, we have no employees in Cannabis Sativa, Inc. At the end of the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had independent contractor arrangements with four officers and directors, and eight outside service providers. PrestoCorp has six employees, including two officers of PrestoCorp. Our employees are not represented by unions, and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good. The Company also has relationships with several independent contractors who provide services to the Company on a regular and on-going basis.



**Facilities**



During all of 2022, CBDS operated out of virtual offices maintained by our officers, directors and contractors.



Our subsidiary PrestoDoctor leases an office in New York. PrestoCorp leased office space through WeWork in New York on a month-to-month basis which ended in April 2022. On April 12, 2022, PrestoCorp signed a new lease in New York with Spaces for a two-year term at $2,590 per month expiring in April 2024.

**Special Sales Practice Requirements with Regard to “Penny Stocks”**



To protect investors from patterns of fraud and abuse that have occurred in the market for low priced securities commonly referred to as “penny stocks,” the SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security having a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share, or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our stock is subject to the “penny stock” regulations during periods in which the price is below $5.00 per share. During any such periods, broker-dealers selling our common stock are subject to additional sales practices when they sell our stock to persons other than established clients and “accredited investors.” For transactions covered by these rules, before the transaction is executed, the broker-dealer must make a special customer suitability determination, receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction and deliver a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative taking the order, current quotations for the securities and, if applicable, the fact that the broker-dealer is the sole market maker and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Such “penny stock” rules may restrict trading in our common stock and may deter broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.



**Item 6. Selected Financial Data**



Not Applicable. The Company is a “smaller reporting company” and not subject to the Selected Financial Data requirement of Item 6.

Revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 decreased 15% compared to the period ended December 31, 2021. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales was constant at 38% between the periods. The decrease in revenues in 2022 is primarily a result of the lessening impact COVID-19 as we progressed into 2022. In 2021, COVID-19 and the associated concerns with in-person visits to doctors’ offices caused a surge in the use of telemedicine in general and the Company benefitted from this with an increase in customers seeking medical marijuana cards through telemedicine. In 2022, as the public grew more accustomed to the pandemic, and as vaccinations and booster shots became widely available, the demand for remote visits with physicians for medical marijuana cards decreased. We expect that this softening in the demand for our service will continue in 2023. The softening of demand in 2022 was partially offset by expansion into new territories, focused advertising and marketing efforts, and a continuing focus on customer service and word of mouth referrals of our services.



Total operating expenses decreased 21% in 2022 compared with 2021 which trended down as did revenue in the current period. Decreases in professional fees, depreciation and amortization, advertising and general and administrative expenses were offset by increases in wages and salaries. Professional fees decreased with continuing efforts at cost reduction. Depreciation and amortization decreased in part due to the discontinuation of GKMP and IBUD, as reflected below. Advertising costs were reduced by taking a more focused approach to our target markets. Wages and salaries increased with the addition of personnel in our telemedicine business relating to increased selling efforts as we expand to new markets.



**Liquidity and Capital Resources**



Cash used by operating activities was $235,559 in 2022 compared to $245,986 in 2021. In 2022, financing activities provided $196,200, consisting of proceeds from related party notes payable in the net amount of $27,700, and proceeds from convertible notes payable in the amount of $168,500. We ended 2022 with $97,445 in cash on hand.



The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred net losses of $1,174,637 and $2,419,406, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and had an accumulated deficit of $80,603,069 as of December 31, 2022. The Company may seek to raise money for working capital purposes through a public offering of its equity capital or through a private placement of equity capital or convertible debt. It will be important for the Company to be successful in its efforts to raise capital in this manner if it is going to be able to further its business plan in an aggressive manner. Raising capital in this manner will cause dilution to current shareholders.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures**



**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**



We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management (including our CEO and CFO), were not effective as of December 31, 2022, and that material information required to be disclosed in this report has not been properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner. In making this determination, we reviewed the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and concluded that the direct involvement of the CFO in all aspects of financial reporting addressed this concern.



**Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**



Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



Under the supervision of and with the participation of our CEO and our CFO and with the oversight of the Board of Directors, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“2013 Framework”).



A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.



A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.



We identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over period end cut-off for recording payables, and communications between accounting personnel and management concerning related party and inter-company transactions.



Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management concluded that, due to the material weakness, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022, in accordance with Item 308(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.



**Changes in Internal Controls**



In additional to the identification and assessment of the material weaknesses described above, there were changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting as follows:



On October 28, 2022, Brad E. Herr, our long time CFO, resigned his position as CFO for health reasons. However, he agreed to be available as a consultant to assist with financial reporting. On December 22, 2022, Brad E. Herr passed away. The lack of access to Mr. Herr and his extensive knowledge of the financial condition and financial reporting history of the Company, is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting in the near term.



**Item 9B. Other Information**



None

**Robert Tankson.** Mr. Tankson worked for Google from 2011 through 2012. After leaving Google in 2012, to pursue his passion for business finance and technology, Rob saw an opportunity in the cannabis space to develop a telemedicine platform. This led to the cofounding of PrestoCorp. The PrestoCorp platform, known as PrestoDoctor, is an online medical cannabis evaluation service that connects patients with cannabis friendly doctors in California, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma and Missouri, with more states in the pipeline. As an executive of PrestoCorp, Rob directed the search for a business partner and ultimately the acquisition of 51% of PrestoCorp by Cannabis Sativa, Inc., in August 2017. Rob continues as an executive of PrestoCorp and is now helping to direct the rapid expansion of the PrestoDoctor platform in the rapidly changing world during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.

**Family Relationships**



There are no family relationships between any of our officers and directors.



**Term of Office**



The term of office of each director is one year and until his or her successor is elected at the annual stockholders’ meeting and is qualified, subject to removal by the stockholders. The term of office for each officer is for one year and until his or her successor is elected at the annual meeting of the board of directors and is qualified, subject to removal by the board of directors.

Our board of directors designated an audit committee to be comprised of two independent directors. At this time, the Company only has one independent director. The board also does not have an independent “financial expert” to serve on the audit committee. As a result, the Company is not able to designate an audit committee and the function of the audit committee is currently being performed by the entire Board.

The Company’s Board of Directors also performs the functions that would customarily be performed by a nominating committee. The Board of Directors does not believe a separate nominating committee is required at this time due to the limited resources of the Company. The Board of Directors has not established policies with regard to the consideration of director candidates recommended by security holders or the minimum qualifications of such candidates.



**Director Meetings**



In 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors meetings were held as needed via remote conference call. As a matter of convenience, many of the actions requiring Board approval are conducted telephonically and then documented as consent minutes. All minutes approved by consent require signatures from all directors. Most Board meetings are attended by all of the Directors, and absences, if any, are noted in the minutes. In 2023, meetings will be held at least once quarterly and more often if needed. Actions may also be taken in 2023 without formal meeting by consent signed by each of the directors.

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending written communications addressed to the Board of Directors, or any individual director, to: Cannabis Sativa, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 450 Hillside Dr., #A224, Mesquite, NV 89027. All communications will be compiled by the corporate secretary and forwarded to the Board of Directors or any individual director, as appropriate. In order to facilitate a response to any such communication, the Company’s Board of Directors suggests, but does not require, that any such submission include the name and contact information of the shareholder submitting the communication.

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct Policy that applies to our executive officers, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers.



During the past ten years none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, or control persons was:

**Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance**



Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of securities ownership and changes in such ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than ten percent shareholders also are required by rules promulgated by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, we believe that one of our directors needs to file a Form 3.



**Item 11. Executive Compensation**



The following table sets forth certain information regarding the annual compensation paid to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer in all capacities for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**





**To the stockholders and the board of directors of Cannabis Sativa, Inc.**



**Opinion on the Financial Statements**



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cannabis Sativa, Inc. the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



**The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern**



The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



**Basis for Opinion**



These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.



We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.



Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's independent auditor since 2019.

**1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**



*Nature of Business:*



Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company,” “us”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated as Ultra Sun Corp. under the laws of Nevada in November 2004. On November 13, 2013, we changed our name to Cannabis Sativa, Inc. We operate through several subsidiaries including:







| | · | PrestoCorp, Inc. (“PrestoCorp”)                                   
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------
| | · | Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. (“Wild Earth”)                          
| | · | Kubby Patent and Licenses Limited Liability Company (“KPAL”)      
| | · | Hi Brands, International, Inc. (“Hi Brands”)                      
| | · | Eden Holdings LLC (“Eden”).                                       
| | · | iBudtender, Inc. (“iBud”) – through April 2021                    
| | · | GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”) - through April 2021









PrestoCorp is a 51% owned subsidiary and until April 22, 2021, GKMP and iBud were 51% and 50.1% owned subsidiaries. Wild Earth, KPAL, Hi Brands, and Eden are wholly owned subsidiaries. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, PrestoCorp is the sole operating subsidiary. Until sale of the Company’s interest in April 2021, GKMP and iBud tender were operating subsidiaries although iBud was not generating any revenue.



Our primary operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and through December 31, 2022 were through PrestoCorp, which provides telemedicine online referral services for customers desiring medical marijuana cards in states where medical marijuana has been legalized. The Company is actively seeking new business opportunities for acquisition and is continually reviewing opportunities for product and brand development through our Wild Earth, Hi Brands, and KPAL subsidiaries.



*Principles of Consolidation:*



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company” or “CBDS”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and PrestoCorp, a 51% owned subsidiary. On April 22, 2021, we sold our interests in two companies in which the Company had majority control, iBud and GKMP. These consolidated financial statements include operations of iBud and GKMP through April 22, 2021. All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation.



*Non-controlling Interests:*



Non-controlling interests are portions of entities included in the condensed consolidated financial statements that are not attributable to the Company. Non-controlling interest are identified separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity and its net income (loss). Non-controlling interest equity balances include the non-controlling entity’s initial contribution at the date of the original acquisition, ongoing contributions, distributions, and percentage share of earnings since inception. The non-controlling interests are calculated based on percentages of ownership.



*Going Concern:*



The Company has an accumulated deficit of $80,603,069 at December 31, 2022, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they are due.

*Use of Estimates:*



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, contingencies, and the value attributed to stock-based awards.



*Property and Equipment:*



Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The average lives range from five (5) to ten (10) years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life. When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred.



*Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments:*



When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period are included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. We measure our investment in equity securities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s investments in equity securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.



The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, convertible debt and balances due to and from related parties approximate fair value given their short-term nature.



*Cash:*



Cash is held at major financial institutions and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to federal insurance limits. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.



*Net Loss per Share:*



Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and contains no dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 50,000 and 175,000 outstanding warrants, respectively, and -0- and 777,654 shares of convertible preferred stock, respectively, that would be dilutive to future periods net income if converted. The number of shares that can be converted per the convertible note agreement cannot be converted until after December 31, 2022 thus are not dilutive as of that date.

*Investments:*



Equity securities of investments in which the Company owns less than 20% and/or has no significant influence are generally measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Upon sale of an equity security, the realized gain or loss is recognized in earnings.



Investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 20% and has the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company will consider its participation in policy-making decisions and representation on governing bodies. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the net earnings or losses of the investee are included in earnings. The Company may elect to account for certain equity method investments at fair value whereby the carrying value of the investment is adjusted to fair value at the end of each period and the related change in fair value is recognized in earning. For these investments, the Company’s share of the net earnings or losses of the investee are not included in earnings.



Companies in which the Company holds investments amounting to more than 50% of the voting interests, but less than 100%, and in which the Company has significant influence, are consolidated and other investor interests are presented as non-controlling.



*Revenue Recognition:*



In the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company operated one division, the telehealth business operated through PrestoCorp.



In the year ending December 31, 2021, the Company operated two divisions, the telehealth business operated through PrestoCorp and the contract manufacturing business operated through GKMP. The contract manufacturing business was sold on April 22, 2021.



The telehealth division generates revenue based on a per telehealth visit for clients looking to obtain a permit to use marijuana for medical purposes in states that have legalized medical marijuana. Revenues are recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to provide telehealth services upon a referral to a contracted physician. The obligation to perform the referral and the referral are automated and occur at the same time an online client subscribes for the visit and gains access to our network of health care professionals. Recognition of revenue is not dependent on the issuance of a marijuana card since issuance of the card is dependent on health and other factors beyond our control. This initial service is a one-time referral to a physician. Clients may return for other telehealth consultations, typically regarding product recommendations, and such additional physician referrals are provided at an additional cost. The billing and payment processes for each physician referral are automated through our online platform. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that is received in exchange for each physician referral provided to the client.



Provision for sales incentives, discounts and returns and allowances, if applicable, are accounted for as reductions of revenue in the period the related sales are recorded. The Company had no warranty costs associated with the sales of its products.



*Intangible Assets and Goodwill:*



Intangible asset amounts represent the acquisition date fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair values of the intangible assets were determined by using the income approach, discounting projected future cash flows based on management’s expectations of the current and future operating environment. The rates used to discount projected future cash flows reflected a weighted average cost of capital based on our industry, capital structure and risk premiums including those reflected in the current market capitalization. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, which have historically ranged from 5 to 10 years. The carrying amounts of our definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the entity may be unable to recover the asset group’s carrying amount. We do not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded from acquisitions.

|**For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021**









Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The fair value of the reporting unit is evaluated on qualitative factors to determine if the reported value may be impaired. If the qualitative factors indicate a likelihood of impairment, we then evaluate carrying value of the reporting unit based on quantitative factors using the income approach. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill for the reporting unit over its implied fair value.



*Advertising Expense:*



Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are broken out separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.



*Stock-Based Compensation:*



Stock-based payments to employees and non-employees are recognized at their fair values. Compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). Transactions in which goods or services are received for the issuance of shares of the Company’s preferred or common stock are accounted for based on the fair value of the common stock issued. The Company currently recognizes compensation costs immediately as our awards are 100% vested at the time of issuance. Forfeitures are recognized upon occurrence.



*Income Taxes:*



The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recorded to reflect the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of various assets and liabilities. 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. Additionally, deferred tax assets are evaluated, and a valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future operations will produce sufficient earnings so that the deferred tax asset can be fully utilized. The Company currently maintains a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets.



Uncertain tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process, whereby (i) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority would be recognized.



*Leases:*



The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at the inception of an arrangement. If the Company determines that the arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at lease inception, it then determines whether the lease is an operating lease or finance lease. Operating and finance leases result in recording a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right of use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, the Company uses the non-cancellable lease term plus options to extend that it is reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for any class of underlying asset.

*Contingencies:*



In determining accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies, the Company evaluates such accruals and contingencies for each reporting period. Estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.



*Reclassifications:*



Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior years’ amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows as previously reported.



*Recent Accounting Pronouncement:*



*Accounting Standards Updates Adopted*



In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years and with early adoption permitted. Early adoption of this update had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.



Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.



**2. Intangibles and Goodwill**



The Company considers all intangibles to be definite-lived assets with lives of 5 to 10 years. Intangibles consisted of the following at December 31, 2022 and 2021:

**3. Sale of Majority Owned Subsidiaries and Discontinued Operations**



On April 22, 2021, the Company sold its majority interests in GKMP (51%) and iBud (50.1%) to THC Farmaceuticals, Inc. (“CBDG”). In consideration of the transaction, the Company received 1,500,000 shares of CBDG common stock and 1,500,000 shares of CBDG preferred stock. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, David Tobias is a Director of CBDG. Shares of CBDG common stock are traded on the OTC Pink Sheets Market.



The sale of the Company’s majority interests was undertaken to allow the Company to focus on its other operating subsidiary, PrestoCorp, to focus on capital formation for expansion of PrestoCorp, and to pursue other opportunities. At the time of the sale, iBud was inactive and GKMP had not yet achieved positive cash flow from operations.



On the closing date of the sale, CBDG common shares closed at $0.20 per share, for a fair value of $300,000. The CBDG preferred stock received is convertible into CBDG common stock on a one for one basis and has no other rights or preferences that distinguish it from the common stock and are convertible at any time by the Company. Management determined that the shares of preferred stock received are equivalent to CBDG’s common stock and valued the preferred shares at the same rate. In the aggregate, the total shares of CBDG stock received were valued at $600,000 on the date of the sale.



The Company recognized a gain on sale of subsidiaries of $164,470 which represented the value of the consideration received consisting of the value of CBDG’s shares plus the carrying value of the subsidiaries’ non-controlling interest reduced by the net asset of each subsidiary:

In 2021, the Company received 1,500,000 shares of common stock and 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock of THC Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ticker: CBDG). The CBDG shares were received as consideration for the sale of the Company’s majority interest in iBud and GKMP in the year ended December 31, 2021. On the date of sale, the shares were valued at fair value which was $0.20 per share or $600,000 in the aggregate. See Note 4.

The fair value of the Company’s investment at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $367,500 and $183,000 resulting in a gain (loss) of $184,500 and ($417,000) for the change in fair value during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

**10. Income Taxes**



The Company did not recognize a tax provision or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 due to ongoing net losses and a valuation allowance. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had net deferred tax assets which will not be realized and are fully reserved by valuation allowances.



At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had net deferred tax assets principally arising from net operating loss carryforward for income tax purposes and differences in the carrying values of goodwill and intangibles between the Company’s financial statements and its income tax returns. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax asset exists at December 31, 2022 and 2021.



The components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:







|                                 |  | **2022** |            |   | **2021** |  
|-------------------------------- |  | -------- | ---------- | - | -------- | -
|Deferred tax asset:              |  |          |            |   |          |  
|Net operating loss carryforwards |  | $        | 3,981,000  |   |          | $
|Intangibles and goodwill         |  |          | 1,036,000  |   |          |  
|Investments                      |  |          | 66,000     |   |          |  
|Other                            |  |          | (3,000     | ) |          |  
|Total deferred tax assets        |  |          | 5,080,000  |   |          |  
|Valuation allowance              |  |          | (5,080,000 | ) |          |  
|Net deferred tax assets          |  | $        | -          |   |          | $









At December 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $19,000,000 for federal and state purposes, $10,000,000 of which expire between 2023 through 2040. The remaining balance of $9,000,000 will never expire but utilization is limited to 80% of taxable income in any future year.



The reconciliation of the federal income tax rate and the Company’s tax provision (benefit) at December 31, 2022 is as follows:







|                                                       |  | **2022** |          |   | **2021** |  
|------------------------------------------------------ |  | -------- | -------- | - | -------- | -
|Provision (benefit) computed using the statutory rate: |  | $        | (247,000 | ) |          | $
|Permanent differences                                  |  |          | 10,000   |   |          |  
|Change in estimate                                     |  |          | 18,000   |   |          |  
|Change in valuation allowance                          |  |          | 219,000  |   |          |  
|Total income tax provision (benefit)                   |  | $        | ––       |   |          | $









The Company has analyzed its filing positions in all jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns and found no positions that would require a liability for uncertain income tax benefits to be recognized. The Company is subject to possible tax examinations for the fiscal years 2019 through 2022. Prior year tax attributes could be adjusted by taxing authorities. If applicable, the Company will deduct interest and penalties as interest expense on the financial statements.



**11.  Subsequent Event**



On March 22, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,450,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company to two persons who are officers of a subsidiary of the Company.  The issued shares were bonus shares awarded to the individuals in the first quarter of 2023 and had a fair value of $88,200.
