Company History
Cannabis Global, Inc. is located at 520 S. Grand Avenue, Suite 320, Los Angeles, California 90071. Our telephone number is (310) 986-4929 and our website is www.cannabisglobalinc.com. Our shares of Common Stock are quoted on the OTC Markets Pink Tier, operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the ticker symbol “CBGL.”
The Company was incorporated on February 28, 2005 in Nevada as MultiChannel Technologies, Inc. (“MultiChannel”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Octillion Corp. (“Octillion”), a Canadian corporation traded on the OTC Markets under the symbol “OCTL”. On April 4, 2005, MultiChannel changed its name to MicroChannel Technologies Corporation (“MicroChannel”). On June 24, 2008, MicroChannel announced that it initiated trading of its stocks on the OTC Bulletin Board under the stock symbol “MCTC”.
On June 25, 2015, our majority shareholders and directors abandoned the Company, resulting in our corporate charter in Nevada to be revoked. On August 21, 2017, Custodial Management, LLC, a shareholder of the Company, filed a complaint with the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada for custodianship over the corporation (Case No. A-17-760130-P). The Court granted a receivership over the Company and Custodial Management brought the Company back into compliance with the State of Nevada and the 1934 Securities and Exchange Act.
On June 27, 2018, we changed domiciles from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware, and thereafter reorganized under the Delaware Holding Company Statute. On or about July 12, 2018, we formed two subsidiaries for the purpose of effecting the reorganization. We incorporated MCTC Holdings, Inc. and MCTC Holdings Inc. incorporated MicroChannel Corp. We then effected a merger involving the three constituent entities, and under the terms of the merger we were merged into MicroChannel Corp., with MicroChannel Corp. surviving and our separate corporate existence ceasing. Following the merger, MCTC Holdings, Inc. became the surviving publicly traded issuer, and all of our assets and liabilities were merged into MCTC Holdings, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary MicroChannel Corp. Our shareholders became the shareholders of MCTC Holdings, Inc. on a one for one basis.
On May 25, 2019, Lauderdale Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and beneficial owner 70.7% of our issued and outstanding common stock, sold 130,000,000 common shares, to Mr. Robert Hymers, Mr. Edward Manolos and Mr. Dan Nguyen, all of whom were previously unaffiliated parties of the Company. Each individual purchased 43,333,333 common shares for $108,333 or an aggregate of $325,000. These series of transactions constituted a change in control.
2019 Developments to Date
On July 1, 2019, the Company entered into a 100% business acquisition with Action Nutraceuticals, Inc., a company owned by our CEO, Arman Tabatabaei in exchange for $1,000 (see “Related Party Transactions”).

In exchange for the Company providing management services to Whisper Weed through the auspices of CGI Whisper W, Inc., the Company will receive as consideration a quarterly fee of 51% of the net profits earned by Whisper Weed. As separate consideration for the transaction, the Company agreed to issue to Whisper Weed $150,000 in the Company’s restricted common stock, valued for purposes of issuance based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty days preceding the entry into the material definitive agreement. Additionally, the Company agreed to amend its articles of incorporation to designate a new class of preferred shares. The preferred class will be designated and issued to Whisper Weed in an amount equal to two times the quarterly payment made to the Company. The preferred shares will be convertible into the Company’s common stock after 6 months and shall be senior to other debts of the Company. The conversion to common stock will be based on a value of common stock equal to at least two times the actual sales for the previous 90-day period. The Company agreed to include in the designation the obligation to make a single dividend payment to Whisper Weed equal to 90% of the initial quarterly net profits payable by Whisper Weed. As of December 10, 2021, the Company has not issued the common or preferred shares, and the business is in the development stage. The management agreement may be terminated, at the unanimous election of the Whisper Weed Board of Directors upon the occurrence of any event, or the existence of any condition beyond the reasonable control of the parties, which prevents the business operation outlined in the agreement from functioning in a manner consistent with the purpose of the agreement or to otherwise to make it impossible to carry out its purpose, and such event or condition cannot be corrected within a reasonable time, at a reasonable expense.

Filed Pending Patent Applications
A Cannaboside Composition and Method to Produce
This patent application was filed on January 18, 2021 (U.S.P.T.O. #17/151,607) and is currently pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company currently filed this patent application for international patent protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT/US2021/013830). The Patent Cooperation Treaty was ratified by the United States and 152 other countries which constitute the International Patent Cooperation Union for the cooperation in the filing, searching, and examination, of applications for the protection of inventions, and for rendering special technical services amongst the treaty members. The application is pending. This patent application seeks protection for a method to allow the easier mixing of cannabis into foods and beverages. Generally, cannabis extracts are oil-based and do not mix well with water-based foods and beverages. The technology invented by the company involves feeding oil-based cannabis extracts to insects. The insects then process the extracts through their bodies resulting in water-based compounds being excreted in the insect bodies. These newly created water-soluble compounds can then be harvested for use in foods, beverages, or pharmaceuticals. The patent claims coverage of both the process to create the compounds, and the use of the compounds in foodstuffs and pharmaceutical preparations.
Electrosprayed and Electrospun Cannabinoid Compositions and Process to Produce
This patent application was filed on November 4, 2020 (U.S.P.T.O. #17/089,497 and is currently pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company currently filed this patent application for international patent protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT/US2020/058937). The Patent Cooperation Treaty was ratified by the United States and 152 other countries which constitute the International Patent Cooperation Union for the cooperation in the filing, searching, and examination, of applications for the protection of inventions, and for rendering special technical services amongst the treaty members. The application is pending. The compositions invented by the company are nanoparticles and nanofibers made from cannabinoids. Nanoparticles and nanofibers are very small units of a substance. In the case of the technologies invented by the company, the units of cannabinoids created are in the areas between 100 nanometer and 700 nanometers wide. One nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter. It is thought that cannabinoids of these sizes are more available to the human body and can be utilized in a host of different product applications to increase efficacy. An added feature of the invented technology is that the nanoparticles and nanofibers are based on all natural ingredients. This differs, in the company's opinion, significantly from other preparations that previously existed. Considering growing consumer taste for clean label products, the company believes natural compositions of cannabinoids will be highly preferred by consumers.
Cannabinoid Enriched Composition and Method of Using
This patent application was filed on December 11, 2020 (U.S.P.T.O. 17/120,042) and is currently pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company currently filed this patent application for international patent protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT/US2021/64683). The Patent Cooperation Treaty was ratified by the United States and 152 other countries which constitute the International Patent Cooperation Union for the cooperation in the filing, searching, and examination, of applications for the protection of inventions, and for rendering special technical services amongst the treaty members. The application is pending. This patent application was filed on December 11, 2020 (U.S.P.T.O. 17/120,042) and is currently pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company currently filed this patent application for international patent protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT/US2021/64683). The Patent Cooperation Treaty was ratified by the United States and 152 other countries which constitute the International Patent Cooperation Union for the cooperation in the filing, searching, and examination, of applications for the protection of inventions, and for rendering special technical services amongst the treaty members. The application is pending. Specifically, the technology for which the company seeks protection are cannabinoids in the form of free-flowing powders that can be used in foods and beverages. The Company believes use of the technology could potentially significantly lower manufacturing costs for numerous manufacturers. Cannabinoids are typically sticky and unstable substances that are difficult to work with relative to the manufacturing of foods, beverages, and pharmaceutical products. The cannabinoid containing free-flowing powders invented by the company are significantly easier for manufacturers to utilize, thus potentially reducing manufacturing costs.

Polymeric Nanoparticles and Polymeric Nanofibers Research Program
The Company has an active research and development program to develop novel polymeric nanoparticles and nanofibers of cannabinoids and hemp extracts. Polymeric nanoparticles are very small solid particles with a size in the range of 10-1000 nanometers (nm or billionth of a meter) and are made of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers or copolymers, in which cannabinoids or other active ingredients can be entrapped or encapsulated. Polymeric nanoparticles are noted for and have attractive characteristics, such as small size, near water solubility, high degrees of bioavailability, long shelf life and stability during storage. These properties are thought to be especially beneficial relative to delivery of cannabinoids and hemp extracts to the human body.
Polymeric nanofibers are fibers with diameters several orders of magnitude smaller than conventional fibers, typically in the size range of a few nanometers to one micrometer. Due to their large surface areas per unit mass and extremely small pore size, these nanofibers demonstrate unique properties, making the technology especially well-suited to transdermal delivery of active ingredients, including cannabinoids.
Project Varin
The primary goal of Project Varin is the development of THC-V delivery methods that improve bioavailability of the cannabinoid to the human body. The project was recently expanded to include cannabinol (CBN) an additional rare cannabinoid.
In the first stage of the program researchers produced THC-V polymeric nanoparticles and nanofibers based on the Company’s patent-pending technologies. In the second phase of development, the Company plans to apply its ongoing cannabinoid glycosides research to THC-V, in order to produce THC-V with unparalleled levels of availability at minimal usage levels.
As a result of Project Varin, the Company has developed several new methods to produce cannabinoid nanoparticles and nanofibers, which the Company plans to formulate into food and beverage ingredients for used in its own products or to be sold to other companies for inclusion in food, beverage, or other consumer goods. The Company plans to continue other areas of delivery systems research via Project Varin including its programs pertaining to cannabinoid glycosides, polymeric cannabinoid nanoparticles and nanofibers, and its hemp extract-based alcohol replacement technologies.
Edible, Dissolvable Film Enhanced with Solid Nanoparticles of Cannabinoids Research Program
The Company is seeking to commercialize a unique invention of edible, disposable film enhanced with solid nanoparticles of cannabinoids under an agreement with Kirby & Padgett, LLC, a California limited liability company, entered into during June of 2019. Management believes there are numerous applications for such a product, such as a container for ready-made foods, protein powders, vitamins, and nutraceuticals that can be simply dropped into cold beverages, thus allowing the consumer to avoid additional steps of mixing ingredients. Additionally, since the film is impregnated with what is believed to be highly bioavailable cannabinoids, the film will perhaps serve a dual purpose as a delivery vehicle for cannabinoids to the body. Future versions of the film could include ingredients such as vitamins, trace minerals or active pharmaceutical ingredients. On June 6, 2019, the Company entered into a joint intellectual property ownership and consulting agreement with Kirby & Padgett, LLC, a California Limited liability company in order to more fully develop and to commercialize the invention. Any intellectual property developed under the collaboration effort will be considered joint property with all rights, title and interest assigned jointly to the Company and Kirby. Each Party shall work with the other Party relative to all business and monetization of such new Joint Intellectual Property and neither Party shall have any preferred rights over the other. Additionally, either party shall have the right to market the new invention with any and all revenues, costs, and profits to be shared on a fifty percent/fifty percent (50%/50%) shares by the parties. All expenses will be agreed to in advance, with each Party sharing based on predetermined percentages of such expenses.
Industry Overview
Industrial Hemp
Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has been cultivated by humans for thousands of years. Hemp was originally cultivated as a source of fibers with most of this early cultivation occurring in temperate climates, thus most genotypes had very low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content. Hemp was introduced into North America in the early part of the 17th century, and it played an important part in early American agriculture throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, with cultivation in virtually every one of the original American colonies.
Hemp seed oil became an important industrial input that was used in inks, paints, varnishes, and many other products. The proliferation of cotton cultivation and the significant profitability of tobacco cultivation in the mid-1800s led to a sharp decline in hemp production. From the mid 1800s through the pre-World War II period, hemp cultivation continued at relatively low levels. During World War II, hemp production increased to meet the military needs for fibers to support various industrial production.
The early 1930’s was a period when higher THC strains of cannabis native to southeast Asia were introduced to North America and Western Europe and as a result, psychoactive strains became associated with very low THC containing industrial strains that were being cultivated in North America. This resulted in efforts to prohibit the cultivation and possession of Cannabis sativa L. in the United States.
Since 1937, Cannabis sativa L. has been a federally regulated Schedule I illegal drug under the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 811 (the “CSA”), regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency (the “DEA”).
It was not until 2014 when a distinction between the use of Cannabis sativa L. for medical, recreational, and industrial purposes was made via Section 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, which cleared a legal path for industrial hemp to be grown in three limited circumstances, 1) by researchers at an institute of higher education, 2) by state departments of agriculture, or 3) by farmers participating in a research program permitted and overseen by a state department of agriculture.
In 2016 the DEA, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the FDA issued a joint statement detailing the guidelines for growth of industrial hemp as part of state-sanctioned research programs. Those guidelines state that hemp can only be sold in states with pilot programs, plants and seeds can only cross state lines as part of permitted state research programs, and seeds can only be imported by individuals registered with the DEA.
We believe the recent passage of the 2018 Farm Bill will allow the Company to expand its marketplace opportunities. On December 20, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, otherwise known as the “Farm Bill”. Prior to its passage, hemp, a member of the cannabis family, and hemp-derived CBD were classified as a Schedule I controlled substances, and so illegal under the CSA. With the passage of the Farm Bill, hemp cultivation is broadly permitted. The Farm Bill explicitly allows the transfer of hemp-derived products across state lines for commercial or other purposes. It also puts no restrictions on the sale, transport, or possession of hemp-derived products, so long as those items are produced in a manner consistent with the law.
Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, hemp cannot contain more than 0.3 percent THC. THC refers to the chemical compound found in cannabis that produces the psychoactive “high” associated with cannabis. Any cannabis plant that contains more than 0.3 percent THC would be considered non-hemp cannabis-or marijuana-under federal law and would thus face no legal protection under this new legislation and would be an illegal Schedule 1 drug under the CSA.
Additionally, there will be significant, shared state-federal regulatory power over hemp cultivation and production. Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture (hereafter referred to as the “USDA”). A state’s plan to license and regulate hemp can only commence once the Secretary of USDA approves that state’s plan. In states opting not to devise a hemp regulatory program, USDA will construct a regulatory program under which hemp cultivators in those states must apply for licenses and comply with a federally run program. This system of shared regulatory programming is similar to options states had in other policy areas such as health insurance marketplaces under the Affordable Care Act, or workplace safety plans under Occupational Health and Safety Act-both of which had federally-run systems for states opting not to set up their own systems.
The Farm Bill outlines actions that are considered violations of federal hemp law (including such activities as cultivating without a license or producing cannabis with more than 0.3% THC). The Farm Bill details possible punishments for such violations, pathways for violators to become compliant, and even which activities qualify as felonies under the law, such as repeated offenses.
One of the goals of the previous 2014 Farm Bill was to generate and protect research into hemp. The 2018 Farm Bill continues this effort. Section 7605 re-extends the protections for hemp research and the conditions under which such research can and should be conducted. Further, section 7501 of the Farm Bill extends hemp research by including hemp under the Critical Agricultural Materials Act. This provision recognizes the importance, diversity, and opportunity of the plant and the products that can be derived from it, but also recognizes that there is still a lot to learn about hemp and its products from commercial and market perspectives.
The FDA regulates product manufacturing and labeling under the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. Products containing CBD are not included in the definition of a dietary supplement under the Act. FDA is currently evaluating the regulatory frameworks that apply to certain cannabis and hemp-derived products that are intended for non-drug uses, including whether any new FDA regulations may be warranted (see below).
Psychoactive Cannabis
A total of 35 states, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands have approved some form of cannabis legalization or decriminalization. These laws are in direct conflict with the United States Federal CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted use for medical treatment in the U.S., and lacks acceptable safety for use under medical supervision.
Medical cannabis decriminalization is generally referred to as the removal of all criminal penalties for the private possession and use of cannabis by adults, including cultivation for personal use and casual, nonprofit transfers of small amounts. Legalization is generally referred to as the development of a legally controlled market for cannabis, where consumers purchase from a safe, legal, and regulated source.
The dichotomy between federal and state laws has limited the access to banking and other financial services by marijuana businesses. The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Treasury have issued guidance for banks considering conducting business with marijuana dispensaries in states where those businesses are legal, pursuant to which banks must file a Marijuana Limited Suspicious Activity Report that states the marijuana business is following the government’s guidelines with regard to revenue that is generated exclusively from legal sales. However, as banks can still face prosecution if they provide financial services to marijuana businesses, there is widespread refusal of the banking industry to offer banking services to marijuana businesses operating within state and local laws.
In November 2016, California approved marijuana use for adults over the age of 21 without a physician’s prescription or recommendation, and permitted the cultivation and sale of marijuana, in each case subject to certain limitations. Despite the changes in state laws, marijuana remains illegal under federal law.
In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, which is also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“the AUMA”), in a ballot initiative. Among other things, the AUMA makes it legal for adults over the age of 21 to use marijuana and to possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana flowers and 8 grams of marijuana concentrates. Individuals are also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, the AUMA establishes a licensing system for businesses to, among other things, cultivate, process, and distribute marijuana products under certain conditions. On January 1, 2018, the California Bureau of Marijuana Control enacted regulations to implement the AUMA.
The U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amounts of marijuana for use on private property but has relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In the event the DOJ reverses its stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical marijuana and recreational marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenue and profits.
We are monitoring the Biden administration’s, the DOJ’s and Congress’ positions on federal marijuana law and policy. Since the start of the new Congress in January 2021, there have been positive discussions about the Federal Government’s approach to cannabis. The DOJ has not signaled any change in their enforcement efforts. Based on public statements and reports, we understand that certain aspects of those laws and policies are currently under review, but no official changes have been announced. It is possible that certain changes to existing laws or policies could have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.
Although the possession, cultivation, and distribution of marijuana for medical and adult use is permitted in California, provided compliance with applicable state and local laws, rules, and regulations, marijuana is illegal under federal law. We believe we operate our business in compliance with all state and local laws and regulations. Any changes in federal, state, or local law enforcement regarding marijuana may affect our ability to operate our business. Strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in the inability to proceed with our business plans, could expose us to potential criminal liability and could subject our properties to civil forfeiture. Any changes in banking, insurance or other business services may also affect our ability to operate our business.
FDA Regulation of Hemp Extracts
The United States Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) is generally responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of (1) prescription and over the counter drugs; (2) biologics including vaccines, blood & blood products, and cellular and gene therapies; (3) foodstuffs including dietary supplements, bottled water, and baby formula; and, (4) medical devices including heart pacemakers, surgical implants, prosthetics, and dental devices.
Regarding its regulation of drugs, the FDA process requires a review that begins with the filing of an investigational new drug (IND) application, with follow on clinical studies and clinical trials that the FDA uses to determine whether a drug is safe and effective, and therefore subject to approval for human use by the FDA.
Aside from the FDA’s mandate to regulate drugs, the FDA also regulates dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. This law prohibits manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. This means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of the law and FDA regulations, including, but not limited to the following labeling requirements: (1) identifying the supplement; (2) nutrition labeling; (3) ingredient labeling; (4) claims; and, (5) daily use information.
The FDA has not approved cannabis, marijuana, hemp, or derivatives as a safe and effective drug for any indication. As of the date of this filing, we have not, and do not intend to file an IND with the FDA, concerning any of our products that contain CBD derived from industrial hemp or cannabis to be delivered in the State of California. Further, our products containing CBD derived from industrial hemp are not marketed or sold using claims that their use is safe and effective treatment for any medical condition subject to the FDA’s jurisdiction.
The FDA has concluded that products containing cannabis or industrial hemp derived CBD are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under sections 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) and (ii) of the U.S. Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, respectively. The FDA’s position is that products containing cannabis, CBD or derivatives are Schedule 1 drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, and so are illegal. Our products containing CBD derived from industrial hemp or cannabis delivered in the State of California are not marketed or sold as dietary supplements. However, at some indeterminate future time, the FDA may choose to change its position concerning generally cannabis and products containing hemp derived CBD and may choose to enact regulations that are applicable to such products. In this event, our industrial hemp-based products containing CBD and cannabis may be subject to regulation.
Effective on July 1, 2019, the Company acquired Action Nutraceuticals, Inc., a California Corporation (“Action Nutraceuticals”) and its assets from our CEO, Arman Tabatabaei, in exchange for $1,000 (see “Related Party Transactions”). Action Nutraceuticals is a developmental stage company engaged in research and development relating to powdered soft drink, coffee, and tea mixes containing non-psychoactive CBD. No intellectual property, patents or trademarks were acquired in the transaction.
The Company’s research and development efforts will center on methodologies to infuse hemp extracts, CBD, and other cannabinoids into highly bioavailable powders to be used in the Company’s products or sold to other manufacturers. The Company plans to utilize its internally developed infusion technologies, technical knowhow and equipment acquired from Action Nutraceuticals to develop, manufacture and sell consumer-oriented powdered drink mixes that include industrial hemp derived, non-psychoactive CBD as an ingredient. All products sold are being specifically developed with a composition containing less than three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) of THC concentration by dry weight. As of the date of this filing, our Hemp You Can Feel Product research and development operations are suspended pending regulatory guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We intend to restart our research and development if and when the FDA issues regulatory guidance on the use of hemp and hemp-based CBD.
The Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a rule regarding the scheduling of hemp and marijuana manufactured cannabinoids
The ruling creates uncertainty relating to the regulatory status of the manufactured cannabinoids we are researching and developing. Should the DEA conclude that manufactured cannabinoids are regulated under the CSA, we might not be able to continue to our plans to continue the research and development of possible products based on manufactured cannabinoids. This could affect our business opportunities in the future.
The Rule states there are only four conforming changes, The rule reiterates these changes outlined below were already mandated under the 2018 Farm Bill: “DEA’s regulatory authority over any plant with less than 0.3% THC content on a dry weight basis, and any of the plant’s derivatives under the 0.3% THC content limit, is removed as a result.”
1. The definition of “Tetrahydrocannabinols” on Schedule I of the official “Schedule of Controlled Substances” is modified to carve out “any material, compound, mixture, or preparation that falls within the definition of hemp” (as defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, i.e., any plant with less than 0.3% THC content on a dry weight basis, and any of the plant’s derivatives under the 0.3% THC).
•
Regardless of what any product label may say (i.e., “hemp” or otherwise), if a product has more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC, it is a controlled substance.
•
Regardless of being hemp-derived, if the derivative, extract or product has more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC, it is a controlled substance.
•
None of these changes, alters or affects the FDA’s jurisdiction over products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds.
•
Naturally occurring THCs in cannabis are not controlled substances so long as they are at or under the 0.3% Delta-9 THC threshold. Any of those that are above the 0.3% Delta-9 THC threshold are controlled substances.
•
Synthetically derived THCs are all controlled substances, regardless of THC content.
Sales and Marketing
The Company recently began sales and marketing activities for its products and inventions. The Company primarily plans to market its non-psychoactive products via a “white label” strategy where the company produces products marketed and sold by other companies. The Company also plans to market its products directly to consumers.
Please reference the section labeled “Risk Factors to our Business” for additional information.
Significant Customers
The company has no significant customers.
Competition
We are entering markets that are highly competitive.
Relative to our prospects for commercializing polymeric nanoparticles and nanofibers, there are many competitors with various approaches to cannabinoid infusion for foods, beverages and other consumer products. While these currently available technologies are not directly competitive with us, such technologies may be viewed as being directly competitive by the marketplace in the future. Many of the current market participants are well established with considerable financial backing. We expect the quality and composition of the competitive market in the hemp processing environment to continue to evolve as the industry matures. Additionally, increased competition is possible to the extent that new states and geographies enter into the marketplace as a result of continued enactment of regulatory and legislative changes that de-criminalize and regulate cannabis and hemp products, including the 2018 Farm Bill. We believe the contemporaneous growth of the industry as a whole will result in new customers entering the marketplace, thereby further mitigating the impact of competition on our expected operations and results relating to our hemp processing businesses.
Employees
The Company has one employee, CEO, Arman Tabatabaei. Additionally, the Company relies on the services of numerous consultants who perform various tasks for the Company. Our U.S employee is not represented by a labor union.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is not aware of any pending legal proceedings that will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our Common and Preferred Shares
The corporation is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $.001 per share. As of August 31, 2021, there were 84,940,028 shares issued and outstanding.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this filing in evaluating our company and our business before purchasing our securities. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed as a result of the occurrence of any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks. You should invest in our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We may need additional capital in the future, which could dilute the ownership of current shareholders, or we may be unable to secure additional funding in the future or to obtain such funding on favorable terms.
To the extent that we raise additional equity capital, existing shareholders will experience dilution in the voting power and ownership of their shares of common stock, and earnings per share, if any, would be negatively impacted. Our inability to use our equity securities, including our pending S-1 equity line financing with Dutchess Capital, LP, to finance our operations could materially limit our growth. Any borrowings made to finance operations could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our operating results, a downturn in economic conditions, or increases in interest rates on borrowings that are subject to interest rate fluctuations. The amount and timing of such additional financing needs will vary principally depending on the timing of new product launches, investments and/or acquisitions, and the amount of cash flow from our operations. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to issue additional equity or debt securities or credit facility. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet any debt service requirements, we could be required to sell additional equity securities, refinance our obligations, or dispose of assets in order to meet debt service requirements. There can be no assurance that any financing will be available to us when needed or will be available on terms acceptable to us. Our current pending equity line financing with Dutchess Capital, LP is not effective as of the date of this filing and there is no guarantee that it will be made effective. Our failure to obtain other sufficient financing on favorable terms and conditions could have a material adverse effect on our growth prospects and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Uncertainty of profitability
Our business strategy may result in meaningful volatility of revenues, loses and/or earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of business efforts, services and products at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of business initiatives, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and/or services offered and their market acceptance.
Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market for our products. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.
Because of the anticipated nature of the products that we offer and attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:
•
Our ability to raise sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate sufficient revenues to cover
expenses.
• Our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns.
• Our ability to manage our capital and liquidity requirements based on changing market conditions.
• The amount and timing of operating and other costs and expenses.
• The nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations.
We have incurred losses since our inception, have yet to achieve profitable operations and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
Even if we obtain more customers or increase sales to our existing customers, there is no guarantee we will be able to generate a profit. Because we are a small company and have limited capital, we must limit our products and services. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to buy our products to operate profitably.
We do not have sufficient cash on hand.
As of August 31, 2021, we had $30,813 of cash on hand. Our cash resources are not sufficient for us to execute our business plan. If we do not generate sufficient cash from our intended financing activities and sales, we will be unable to continue our operations. We estimate that within the next 12 months we will need at least $840,000 in cash from either investors or operations. While we intend to engage in future financings, there is no assurance that these will actually occur. Nor can we assure our shareholders that we will not be required to obtain additional financing on terms that are dilutive of their interests. You should recognize that if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues or obtain debt or equity financing, we will not be able to earn profits and may not be able to continue operations.
We may not be able to continue our business as a going concern.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $13,437,020 as of August 31, 2021. Management plans to raise additional capital through the sale of shares of Common Stock to pursue business development activities, but there are no assurances of success relative to the efforts.
If we are not able to raise enough funds, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our products and our business may fail.
We will need additional financing to meet our obligations and to continue our business. Although we plan to raise funds through our Common Stock Share Purchase Agreement with Dutchess Capital, this equity line of financing and the associated Form S-1 registration statement is pending with the SEC and not effective as of the date of this filing, and we cannot guarantee that the registration will be made effective, or that we will secure additional commitments for financing otherwise.
Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.
Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity, and good faith of Management, as well as other personnel. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or our inability to attract suitably qualified replacements or additional staff could adversely affect our business. Our success also depends on the ability of Management to form and maintain key commercial relationships within the marketplace. No assurance can be given that key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills will be found. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and additional employees, our business may be adversely affected. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executive employees.
The loss of key Management personnel could adversely affect our business
We depend on the continued services of our executive officer and senior consulting team as they work closely with independent associate leaders and are responsible for our day-to-day operations. Our success depends in part on our ability to retain executive officers, to compensate executive officers at attractive levels, and to continue to attract additional qualified individuals to our management team. Although we have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, and do not believe our Chief Executive Officer is planning to leave or retire in the near term, we cannot assure you that our Chief Executive Officer or senior managers to be hired will remain with us. The loss or limitation of the services of any of our executives or members of our senior management team, or the inability to attract additional qualified management personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or independent associate relations.
The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business
Our business depends on attracting independent directors, executives, and senior management to advance our business plans. We currently do not have directors and officer’s insurance to protect our directors, officers, and the company against the possible third-party claims. This is due to the significant lack of availability of such policies in the cannabis industry at reasonably competitive prices. As a result, the Company and our executive directors and officers are susceptible to liability claims arising by third parties, and as a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified independent directors and executive management causing the development of our business plans to be impeded as a result.
If we fail to maintain satisfactory relationships with future customers, our business may be harmed.
Due to competition or other factors, we could lose business from our future customers, either partially or completely. The future loss of one or more of our significant customers or a substantial future reduction of orders by any of our significant customers could harm our business and results of operations. Moreover, our customers may vary their order levels significantly from period to period and customers may not continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. In the event that in the future we lose any of our larger customers, we may not be able to replace that revenue source. This could harm our financial results.
Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive
Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.
We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results
Some of business initiatives in the hemp and cannabis sectors are new and are only in the early stages of commercialization. As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for our Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. We cannot guarantee that a market for our Company will develop or that demand for our products will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected
Our chosen method for cannabinoid delivery is controversial with an unproven safety of efficacy.
The safety profile relative to oral consumption of polymeric or other forms of nanoparticles is unproven. There can be no guarantee of a proven safety profile for any of our emerging technologies.
We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business
Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize our market. The continued growth of the Internet and intense competition in our industry exacerbates these market characteristics. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of our products and services. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of our products and services. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of our current and prospective customers and must achieve significant market acceptance. We could also incur substantial costs if we need to modify our products and services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes. We also expect that new competitors may introduce products or services that are directly or indirectly competitive with us. These competitors may succeed in developing products and services that have greater functionality or are less costly than our products and services and may be more successful in marketing such products and services. Technological changes have lowered the cost of operating communications, computer systems and purchasing software. These changes reduce our cost of selling products and providing services, but also facilitate increased competition by reducing competitors’ costs in providing similar services. This competition could increase price competition and reduce anticipated profit margins.
The failure to enforce and maintain our intellectual property rights could adversely affect the value of the Company.
The success of our business will partially depend on our ability to protect our intellectual property. As of the date hereof, we do not have any federally registered patents or trademarks owned by us. The unauthorized use of our intellectual property could diminish the value of our business, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
We have incurred losses since our inception, have yet to achieve profitable operations and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
Even if we obtain customers, there is no guarantee that we will be able to generate a profit. Because we are a small company and have limited capital, we must limit our products and services. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to buy our products to operate profitably. Further, we are subject to raw material pricing which can erode the profitability of our products and put additional negative pressure on profitability. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 we incurred an operating loss of $1,943,924. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, we incurred an operating loss of $3,623,892. At August 31, 2021 we had an accumulated deficit of $13,891,788. Although we anticipate generating revenue in future periods, such revenues may be insufficient to make the Company profitable. We plan to increase our expenses associated with the development of our business. There is no assurance we will be able to derive revenues from the development of our business to successfully achieve positive cash flow or that our business will be successful. If we achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profits on a quarterly or annual basis.
Our accounting of our business operations in Natural Plant Extract is pending as of the date of this filing.
On February 16, 2021 we completed a stock purchase with Alan Tsai resulting in our acquisition of an aggregate of 56.4% of the issued stock of Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc. We began taking orders for product from our NPE operations in April, 2021. As of the date of this filing our accounting for this business combination is not complete. However, we expect to complete and disclose the accounting on or before February 16, 2022.
We are reliant on single source suppliers for several components of our products. In the future, such supplies could be difficult or impossible to obtain, which would affect our ability to produce our products.
We purchase components for our products from several larger corporations and from single source providers. Any difficulty in obtaining such supplies could restrict our ability to manufacture products for sales, which would affect our ability to generate revenues. There can be no assurances such suppliers of the components we require will not become difficult or impossible to obtain in the future.
RISKS OF GOVERNMENT ACTION AND REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY
We could be found to be violating federal laws related to cannabis.
Currently, numerous states plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulations that recognize, in one form or another, legitimate medical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, under the CSA, the policies and regulations of the federal government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. Unless and until Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical marijuana, as to the timing or scope of any such amendments there can be no assurance, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated federal policy remains uncertain. Because our business involves the sale of cannabis and derivatives, we have risks that we will be deemed to facilitate the selling or distribution of cannabis in violation of federal law. This would cause a direct and adverse effect on our subsidiaries’ businesses, or intended businesses, and on our revenue and prospective profits.
The possible FDA Regulation of hemp and industrial hemp derived CBD, and the possible registration of facilities where hemp is grown and CBD products are produced, if implemented, could negatively affect the cannabis industry generally, which could directly affect our financial condition
The Farm Bill established that hemp containing less the 0.3% THC was no longer a Schedule 1 drug under the CSA. Previously, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) did not approve hemp or CBD derived from hemp as a safe and effective drug for any indication. The FDA considered hemp and hemp-derived CBD as illegal Schedule 1 drugs. FDA has concluded that products containing hemp or CBD derived from hemp are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under sections 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) and (ii) of the U.S. Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, respectively. However, as a result of the passage of the Farm Bill, at some indeterminate future time, the FDA may choose to change its position concerning products containing hemp, or CBD derived from hemp, and may choose to enact regulations that are applicable to such products, including, but not limited to: the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of hemp; regulations covering the physical facilities where hemp is grown; and possible testing to determine efficacy and safety of hemp derived CBD. In the hypothetical event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, we do not know what the impact would be on the hemp industry in general, and what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we are unable to comply with the conditions and possible costs of possible regulations and/or registration, as may be prescribed by the FDA, we may be unable to continue to operate segments of our business including our Hemp You Can Feel products, which are currently suspended pending regulatory advisement from the FDA.
The scheduling status of Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THC-V) and other manufactured cannabinoids with the Drug Enforcement Administration is uncertain.
During August 2020, Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”) issued a rule regarding the scheduling of manufactured hemp and marijuana cannabinoids. The ruling could negatively impact our research and development, should the DEA determine the manufactured cannabinoids we plan to use in some of our products are scheduled under the CSA.
The Company is currently working with the supplier of THC-V to determine the impact, if any, the ruling may have on our ability to market THC-V products.
The DEA published the following summary:
The purpose of this interim final rule is to codify in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations the statutory amendments to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) made by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (AIA), regarding the scope of regulatory controls over marihuana, tetrahydrocannabinols, and other marihuana-related constituents. This interim final rule merely conforms DEA's regulations to the statutory amendments to the CSA that have already taken effect, and it does not add additional requirements to the regulations.
The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, Public Law 115-334 (the AIA), was signed into law on December 20, 2018. It provided a new statutory definition of “hemp” and amended the definition of marihuana under 21 U.S.C. 802(16) and the listing of tetrahydrocannabinols under 21 U.S.C. 812(c). The AIA thereby amends the regulatory controls over marihuana, tetrahydrocannabinols, and other marihuana-related constituents in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
The rulemaking makes four conforming changes to DEA's existing regulations:
• It modifies 21 CFR 1308.11(d)(31) by adding language stating that the definition of “Tetrahydrocannabinols” does not include “any material, compound, mixture, or preparation that falls within the definition of hemp set forth in 7 U.S.C. 1639 o.”
• It removes from control in schedule V under 21 CFR 1308.15(f) a “drug product in finished dosage formulation that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that contains cannabidiol (2-[1R-3-methyl-6R-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]-5-pentyl-1,3-benzenediol) derived from cannabis and no more than 0.1% (w/w) residual tetrahydrocannabinols.”
• It also removes the import and export controls described in 21 CFR 1312.30(b) over those same substances.
• It modifies 21 CFR 1308.11(d)(58) by stating that the definition of “Marihuana Extract” is limited to extracts “containing greater than 0.3 percent delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol on a dry weight basis.”
According to the DEA, The AIA does not impact the control status of synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinols (for Controlled Substance Code Number 7370) because the statutory definition of “hemp” is limited to materials that are derived from the plant Cannabis sativa L. For synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinols, the concentration of Δ9-THC is not a determining factor in whether the material is a controlled substance. All synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinols remain schedule I controlled substances.
We could become subject to other FDA regulations.
The cannabinoid delivery technologies we are developing could at a later date become subject to increased government regulation. Such additional regulations could have an adverse effect on our business operations.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BANK AND INSURANCE LAWS AND REGULATIONS
We and our customers may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult to sell our products and services and manage our cash flows.
Since the commerce in cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, is illegal under federal law, federally most chartered banks will not accept deposit funds from businesses involved with cannabis. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis industry often have trouble finding a bank willing to accept their business. The inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for our customers to operate. There does appear to be recent movement to allow state-chartered banks and credit unions to provide banking to the industry, but as of the date of this report there are only nominal entities that have been formed that offer these services. Further, in a February 6, 2018, Forbes article, United States Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, is reported to have testified that his department is “reviewing the existing guidance.” But he clarified that he doesn’t want to rescind it without having an alternate policy in place to address public safety concerns.
Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes, unlicensed money transmitter statute and the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. Despite guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury suggesting it may be possible for financial institutions to provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks remain hesitant to offer banking services to cannabis-related businesses. Consequently, those businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to encounter difficulty establishing banking relationships. Our inability to maintain our current bank accounts would make it difficult for us to operate our business, increase our operating costs, and pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges and could result in our inability to implement our business plan. Similarly, many of our customers are directly involved in cannabis sales and further restrictions to their ability to access banking services may make it difficult for them to purchase our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to certain federal regulations relating to cash reporting.
The Bank Secrecy Act, enforced by FinCEN, requires us to report currency transactions in excess of $10,000, including identification of the customer by name and social security number, to the IRS. This regulation also requires us to report certain suspicious activity, including any transaction that exceeds $5,000 that we know, suspect, or have reason to believe involves funds from illegal activity or is designed to evade federal regulations or reporting requirements and to verify sources of funds. Substantial penalties can be imposed against us if we fail to comply with this regulation. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, the imposition of a substantial penalty could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liability
Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as general liability, and directors and officer’s insurance, is more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because we are service providers to companies in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurance(s) in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurance(s), it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.
RISK ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDUSTRY
Our Business Can be Affected by Unusual Weather Patterns
Cannabis cultivation can be impacted by weather patterns and these unpredictable weather patterns may impact our business. In addition, severe weather, including drought and hail, can destroy a cannabis crop, which could result in us having no cannabis to harvest, process and sell, which could impact our ability to meet customer demand, generate sales, and maintain operations will be impacted.
Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of products we sell.
Demand for our products is often affected by general economic conditions as well as product-use trends in our target markets. These changes may result in decreased demand for our cannabis. The occurrence of these conditions is beyond our ability to control and, when they occur, they may have a significant impact on our sales and results of operations. The inability or unwillingness of our customers to pay a premium for our products due to general economic conditions or a downturn in the economy may have a significant adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.
Changes within the cannabis industry may adversely affect our financial performance.
Changes in the identity, ownership structure and strategic goals of our competitors and the emergence of new competitors in our target markets may harm our financial performance. New competitors may include foreign-based companies and commodity-based domestic producers who could enter our specialty markets if they are unable to compete in their traditional markets. The paper industry has also experienced consolidation of producers and distribution channels. Further consolidation could unite other producers with distribution channels through which we intend to sell our products, thereby limiting access to our target markets.
We may be subject to certain tax risks and treatments that could negatively impact our results of operations.
Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking-controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act). The IRS has invoked Section 280E in tax audits against various cannabis businesses in the U.S. that are permitted under applicable state laws. Although the IRS issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of such items is interpreted very narrowly, and the bulk of operating costs and general administrative costs are not permitted to be deducted. While there are currently several pending cases before various administrative and federal courts challenging these restrictions, there is no guarantee that these courts will issue an interpretation of Section 280E favorable to cannabis businesses.
The Company’s industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.
We are involved in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or products that make our products less desirable to consumers or obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other entities.
We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business
Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize our market. The continued growth of the Internet and intense competition in our industry exacerbates these market characteristics. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of our products. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction, or marketing of our products. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of our current and prospective customers and must achieve significant market acceptance. We could also incur substantial costs if we need to modify our products and services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.
We also expect that new competitors may introduce products or services that are directly or indirectly competitive with us. These competitors may succeed in developing products and services that have greater functionality or are less costly than our products and services and may be more successful in marketing such products and services. Technological changes have lowered the cost of operating, communications and computer systems and purchasing software. These changes reduce our cost of selling products and providing services, but also facilitate increased competition by reducing competitors’ costs in providing similar products and services. This competition could increase price competition and reduce anticipated profit margins.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.
We may require additional capital to fund our future business operations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our shares of common stock, who may experience dilution of their ownership interest of our shares of Common Stock. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock by our board of directors may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our shares of Common Stock.
Our shares of Common Stock qualify as a penny stock. As such, we are subject to the risks associated with "penny stocks". Regulations relating to "penny stocks" limit the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares and, as a result, our shareholders may have to hold their shares indefinitely.
Our shares of Common Stock are deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Regulation Section 240.3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation 240.15g(c)2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our shares of Common Stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares of Common Stock that are deemed to be "penny stock".
Moreover, Regulation 240.15g-9 of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our shares of Common Stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. Holders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks suffers from patterns of fraud and abuse.
Our Management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, Management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
We will be controlled by existing shareholders.
Our directors and officers currently in place control a significant portion of our shares and have super voting rights relative to preferred shares. Thus, they will continue to oversee the Company’s operations. As a result, our directors and officers will likely have a significant influence on the affairs and management of the Company, as well as on all matters requiring stockholder approval, including electing and removing members of its board of directors, causing the Company to engage in transactions with affiliated entities, causing or restricting the sale or merger of the Company and changing the company’s dividend policy. Such concentration of ownership and control could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, even when such a change of control would be in the best interests of the company’s other stockholders.
We have the ability to issue additional shares of our shares of preferred stock without asking for stockholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of Common Stock or preferred stock is generally not subject to stockholder approval. Accordingly, any additional issuance of our shares of Common Stock, or shares of preferred stock that may be convertible into Common Stock, may have the effect of diluting your investment. Currently authorized are ten million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company Preferred Stock in one or more series, and expressly authorized the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for series of Preferred Stock, and, with respect to each such series, to establish and fix the number of shares to be included in any series of Preferred Stock and the designation, rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, and limitations of the shares of such series. On December 16, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of eight million (8,000,000) preferred shares as “Series A Preferred Stock.” The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into any other form of Securities, including common shares, of the Company. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to fifty (50) votes for every Share of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned as of the record date for any shareholder vote or written consent. On May 28, 2020, Mr. Robert L. Hymers III, a former director and former chief financial officer, returned 2,000,000 Series A Preferred shares to the corporate treasury. As of the date of this filing, there were 6,000,000 Series A Preferred shares issued and outstanding.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock and to deposit certificates in paper form or to clear shares for trading under Safe Harbor exemptions and regulations for unregistered shares.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker- dealers to recommend that their customers buy our shares of Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for our investors to deposit paper stock certificates or to clear our shares of Common Stock that are transferred electronically to brokerage accounts. There can be no assurances that our investors will be able to clear our shares for eventual resale.
Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and parts of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.
Since our shares of Common Stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
Since our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to): the trading volume of our shares, the number of analysts, market-makers and brokers following our shares of Common Stock, new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors, actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, conditions or trends in our business industries, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of our shares of Common Stock and general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly traded, and particularly microcap, companies.
Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our Common Stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our shares of Common Stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTC Markets Pink and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to potential manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.
We do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock.
We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment.

SALES OF UNREGISTERED SHARES AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The following information represents securities sold by the Company as of August 31, 2021, which were not registered under the Securities Act, and were not previously reported in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or in a Current Report on Form 8-K (17 CFR 249.308). Included are sales of reacquired securities, as well as new issues, securities issued in exchange for property, services, or other securities, and new securities resulting from the modification of outstanding securities.
On November 6, 2019, we sold a convertible note to an accredited investor for $20,000. The terms of the six month note allow 7% annual interest and for the conversion into common shares at $0.75. Additionally, the investor received a warrant providing the investor the right to purchase 26,666 common shares at a price of $3.50.
On December 30, 2019, The Company sold a convertible note to an accredited investor. The $63,000 note calls for annualized interest of 10% and is due on December 20, 2020. The note converts in common shares at 40% discount. This note is attached as an exhibit hereto.
On December 16, 2019, the Company’s board of directors by unanimous written consent caused the authorization of ten million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company ("Preferred Stock") in one or more series, and expressly authorized the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), subject to limitations prescribed by law, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for series of Preferred Stock, and, with respect to each such series, to establish and fix the number of shares to be included in any series of Preferred Stock and the designation, rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, and limitations of the shares of such series.
During the quarterly period ended February 29, 2020, the Company issued four convertible promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $256,500, aggregate original issue discount (OID) of $10,500, and aggregate legal fees of $11,000, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $235,000. The notes mature in one year from the respective issuance date and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. Commencing one hundred eighty (180) days following the issuance date of $198,750 of the notes and commencing immediately following the issuance of $57,750 of the notes, the noteholders shall have the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at variable conversion prices ranging from 50% - 60% of the lowest previous fifteen (15) to twenty (20) trading day closing trade prices of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment. As a result of the variable conversion prices, upon issuance, the Company recognized total debt discount of $256,500, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the note to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the noteholder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the note.
On February 20, 2020, the Company entered into a material definitive agreement with Lelantos Biotech, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Lelantos”), and its owners Ma Helen M. Am Is, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Helen M.”), East West Pharma Group, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“East West”), and New Horizons Laboratory Services, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“New Horizons”). In exchange for intellectual properties owned by Lelantos, the Company agreed to issue 400,000 shares of common stock and convertible promissory notes to Lelantos and its owners. On June 15, 2020, the Company and Lelantos entered into a modification agreement cancelling the Company's obligation to issue 400,000 shares of common stock and the convertible promissory notes. The Company and Lelantos agreed to a purchase price of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), payable by the issuance of a promissory note. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the note is paid in monthly payments of seven thousand, five hundred dollars ($7,500) beginning on September 1, 2020, terminating on February 1, 2025. There is no interest on the note or on the unpaid balance.
On March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchases Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $150,000. The note, which is payable one year after issuance, carries interest at 10% per annum. On March 19, 2020, the Company received its first disbursement under this agreement in the amount of $50,000. Less an original discount and other certain fees, the Company netted $43,000. The note converts to common shares at a 40% discount to the lowest traded price during the 25 days prior to conversion. Additionally, the lender was issued a three-year warrant to purchase our common stock at $0.48 per share. The note shall not be able to be converted in an amount that would result in the beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the Company outstanding common stock.
On May 4, 2020, the Company received its Second disbursement under this agreement in the amount of $25,000. Less an original discount and other certain fees, the Company netted $21,000. This note converts to common shares at a 40% discount to the lowest traded price during the 25 days prior to conversion.
On May 28, 2020, Mr. Robert L. Hymers III, a former director and former chief financial officer, returned 2,000,000 Series A Preferred shares to the corporate treasury. As of the date of this filing, there were 6,000,000 Series A Preferred shares issued and outstanding.
On July 10, 2020, the Company received a $25,000 disbursement from a previously signed convertible note entered into on March 19, 2020, in the principal amount of $150,000. The note, which is payable one year after issuance, carries interest at 10% per annum. The note converts to common shares at a 40% discount to the lowest traded price during the 25 days prior to conversion. Additionally, the lender was granted three-year warrant coverage at $0.48. The note shall not be able to be converted in an amount that would result in the beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the Company outstanding common stock.
On July 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchases Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $78,750.

Filed Pending Patent Applications
A Cannaboside Composition and Method to Produce
This patent application was filed on January 18, 2021 (U.S.P.T.O. #17/151,607) and is currently pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company currently filed this patent application for international patent protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT/US2021/013830). The Patent Cooperation Treaty was ratified by the United States and 152 other countries which constitute the International Patent Cooperation Union for the cooperation in the filing, searching, and examination, of applications for the protection of inventions, and for rendering special technical services amongst the treaty members. The application is pending. This patent application seeks protection for a method to allow the easier mixing of cannabis into foods and beverages. Generally, cannabis extracts are oil-based and do not mix well with water-based foods and beverages. The technology invented by the company involves feeding oil-based cannabis extracts to insects. The insects then process the extracts through their bodies resulting in water-based compounds being excreted in the insect bodies. These newly created water-soluble compounds can then be harvested for use in foods, beverages, or pharmaceuticals. The patent claims coverage of both the process to create the compounds, and the use of the compounds in foodstuffs and pharmaceutical preparations.
Electrosprayed and Electrospun Cannabinoid Compositions and Process to Produce
This patent application was filed on November 4, 2020 (U.S.P.T.O. #17/089,497 and is currently pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company currently filed this patent application for international patent protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT/US2020/058937). The Patent Cooperation Treaty was ratified by the United States and 152 other countries which constitute the International Patent Cooperation Union for the cooperation in the filing, searching, and examination, of applications for the protection of inventions, and for rendering special technical services amongst the treaty members. The application is pending. The compositions invented by the company are nanoparticles and nanofibers made from cannabinoids. Nanoparticles and nanofibers are very small units of a substance. In the case of the technologies invented by the company, the units of cannabinoids created are in the areas between 100 nanometer and 700 nanometers wide. One nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter. It is thought that cannabinoids of these sizes are more available to the human body and can be utilized in a host of different product applications to increase efficacy. An added feature of the invented technology is that the nanoparticles and nanofibers are based on all natural ingredients. This differs, in the company's opinion, significantly from other preparations that previously existed. Considering growing consumer taste for clean label products, the company believes natural compositions of cannabinoids will be highly preferred by consumers.
Cannabinoid Enriched Composition and Method of Using

Polymeric Nanoparticles and Polymeric Nanofibers Research Program
The Company has an active research and development program to develop novel polymeric nanoparticles and nanofibers of cannabinoids and hemp extracts. Polymeric nanoparticles are very small solid particles with a size in the range of 10-1000 nanometers (nm or billionth of a meter) and are made of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers or copolymers, in which cannabinoids or other active ingredients can be entrapped or encapsulated. Polymeric nanoparticles are noted for and have attractive characteristics, such as small size, near water solubility, high degrees of bioavailability, long shelf life and stability during storage. These properties are thought to be especially beneficial relative to delivery of cannabinoids and hemp extracts to the human body.
Polymeric nanofibers are fibers with diameters several orders of magnitude smaller than conventional fibers, typically in the size range of a few nanometers to one micrometer. Due to their large surface areas per unit mass and extremely small pore size, these nanofibers demonstrate unique properties, making the technology especially well-suited to transdermal delivery of active ingredients, including cannabinoids.
Project Varin
The primary goal of Project Varin is the development of THC-V delivery methods that improve bioavailability of the cannabinoid to the human body. The project was recently expanded to include cannabinol (CBN) an additional rare cannabinoid.
In the first stage of the program researchers produced THC-V polymeric nanoparticles and nanofibers based on the Company’s patent-pending technologies. In the second phase of development, the Company plans to apply its ongoing cannabinoid glycosides research to THC-V, in order to produce THC-V with unparalleled levels of availability at minimal usage levels.
As a result of Project Varin, the Company has developed several new methods to produce cannabinoid nanoparticles and nanofibers, which the Company plans to formulate into food and beverage ingredients for used in its own products or to be sold to other companies for inclusion in food, beverage, or other consumer goods. The Company plans to continue other areas of delivery systems research via Project Varin including its programs pertaining to cannabinoid glycosides, polymeric cannabinoid nanoparticles and nanofibers, and its hemp extract-based alcohol replacement technologies.
Edible, Dissolvable Film Enhanced with Solid Nanoparticles of Cannabinoids Research Program
The Company is seeking to commercialize a unique invention of edible, disposable film enhanced with solid nanoparticles of cannabinoids under an agreement with Kirby & Padgett, LLC, a California limited liability company, entered into during June of 2019. Management believes there are numerous applications for such a product, such as a container for ready-made foods, protein powders, vitamins, and nutraceuticals that can be simply dropped into cold beverages, thus allowing the consumer to avoid additional steps of mixing ingredients. Additionally, since the film is impregnated with what is believed to be highly bioavailable cannabinoids, the film will perhaps serve a dual purpose as a delivery vehicle for cannabinoids to the body. Future versions of the film could include ingredients such as vitamins, trace minerals or active pharmaceutical ingredients. On June 6, 2019, the Company entered into a joint intellectual property ownership and consulting agreement with Kirby & Padgett, LLC, a California Limited liability company in order to more fully develop and to commercialize the invention. Any intellectual property developed under the collaboration effort will be considered joint property with all rights, title and interest assigned jointly to the Company and Kirby. Each Party shall work with the other Party relative to all business and monetization of such new Joint Intellectual Property and neither Party shall have any preferred rights over the other. Additionally, either party shall have the right to market the new invention with any and all revenues, costs, and profits to be shared on a fifty percent/fifty percent (50%/50%) shares by the parties. All expenses will be agreed to in advance, with each Party sharing based on predetermined percentages of such expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those statements. We have made our best estimates of certain amounts contained in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. However, application of our accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates, assumptions, and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.
Inventory
Inventory is primarily comprised of work in progress. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020, market values of all of our inventory were at cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowance was recognized.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and, based on a method of specific identification of any accounts receivable for which we deem the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances. In determining our need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, our actual experience may vary from our estimates. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay our fees, we may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that we collect retainers from our clients prior to performing significant services.
The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020, we had no allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed into service and is recognized over the estimated useful life. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” We did not capitalize any interest as of August 31, 2021 and as of August 31, 2020.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. We have not recorded any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the year ended August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and we amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a significant financing component exists in our consulting and product sales contracts. We examine and evaluate when our customers become liable to pay for goods and services; how much consideration is paid as compared to the cash selling price of the goods or services; and, the length of time between our performance and the receipt of payment.
Product Sales
Revenue from product sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained from the customer, the price is fixed and determinable when the order is placed, the product is shipped, title has transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, we drop-ship orders to our clients with shipping-point or destination terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. Given the facts that (1) our customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product order; and, (2) the price negotiated in our product sales is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, we are not of the opinion that our product sales indicate or involve any significant customer financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the sales transaction, or would otherwise contain a significant financing component for us or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606.
Costs of Revenues
Our policy is to recognize costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Cost of revenues includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of restricted common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the years ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019 we incurred no income taxes and had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes.
Loss Contingencies
From time to time the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. On at least a quarterly basis, consistent with ASC 450-20-50-1C, if the Company determines that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred, or is reasonably estimable, regardless of whether the Company accrued for such a loss (or any portion of that loss), the Company will confer with its legal counsel, consistent with ASC 450. If the material loss is determinable or reasonably estimable, the Company will record it in its accounts and as a liability on the balance sheet. If the Company determines that such an estimate cannot be made, the Company's policy is to disclose a demonstration of its attempt to estimate the loss or range of losses before concluding that an estimate cannot be made, and to disclose it in the notes to the financial statements under Contingent Liabilities.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
We report net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
Related Party Transactions
We follow FASB ASC subtopic 850-10, “Related Party Transactions”, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, related parties include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Material related party transactions are required to be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements of operation are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company accounts for arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights as variable interest entities (“VIEs”). An enterprise is required to consolidate a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. A VIE is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (ii) the entity’s equity holders as a group either: (a) lack the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity if they occur, or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE, the enterprise that is deemed to have a variable interest, or combination of variable interests, that provides the enterprise with a controlling financial interest in the VIE, is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Investments where the Company has significant influence, but not control, and joint ventures which are VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, are recorded under the equity method of accounting on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As of August 31, 2020, the Company held a variable interest in an entity for which it directly held an 18.8% equity interest, and indirectly controlled 37.6% of the equity. The entity was not determined to be a VIE under ASC 810, as it did not meet the criteria outlined above. Since the Company indirectly controls less than 50% of the voting interest of the entity, the entity is not consolidated, and the Company accounted for the investment under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 321. Since the entity in which the Company holds its investment does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company elected to account for the investment under the measurement alternative, accounting for the investment at cost less impairment, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the same investment. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company acquired an additional 37.6% and had majority control. The Company accounted for the control acquisition as a business combination and consolidates the entity within its financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of Cannabis Global, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cannabis Global, Inc. (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two-years in the period ended August 31, 2021, 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 August 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s cumulative net losses and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management’s plans are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis of 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 audit. 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 U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the
critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Description of Matter
As described in Notes 1, 6 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company acquired Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc. (“NPE”). The Company accounted for this business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, resulting in Goodwill of $8,842,967. Auditing the Company's accounting for its acquisition of was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty in the Company’s determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. The significant estimation uncertainty was primarily due to the sensitivity of the respective fair values to underlying assumptions about the future performance of the acquired business. The Company used an income and market method to determine the value of NPE .
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
To test the estimated fair value of the NPE, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the Company's selection of the valuation methodology, evaluating the methods and significant assumptions used by management, and independently evaluating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates.

NOTE 1 - Organization and Description of Business
Cannabis Global, Inc. is located at 520 S Grand Avenue, Suite 320, Los Angeles, California 90071. Our telephone number is (310) 986-4929 and our website is accessible at www.cannabisglobalinc.com Our shares of Common Stock are quoted on the OTC Markets Pink, operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the ticker symbol “CGBL.”
Historical Development
We incorporated in Nevada in 2005 under the name MultiChannel Technologies Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Octillion Corporation, a development stage technology company focused on the identification, acquisition and development of emerging solar energy and solar related technologies. In April, 2005, we changed our name to MicroChannel Technologies, Inc., and in June, 2008, began trading on the OTC Markets under the trading symbol “MCTC.” Our business focused on research and development of a patented intellectual properties combining physical, chemical and biological cues at the “cellular” level to facilitate peripheral nerve regeneration.
On June 27, 2018, we changed domiciles from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware, and thereafter reorganized under the Delaware Holding Company Statute. On or about July 12, 2018, we formed two subsidiaries for the purpose of effecting the reorganization. We incorporated MCTC Holdings, Inc. and MCTC Holdings Inc. incorporated MicroChannel Corp. We then effected a merger involving the three constituent entities, and under the terms of the merger we were merged into MicroChannel Corp., with MicroChannel Corp. surviving and our separate corporate existence ceasing. Following the merger, MCTC Holdings, Inc. became the surviving publicly traded issuer, and all of our assets and liabilities were merged into MCTC Holdings, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary MicroChannel Corp. Our shareholders became the shareholders of MCTC Holdings, Inc. on a one for one basis.
On May 25, 2019, Lauderdale Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and beneficial owner 70.7% of our issued and outstanding common stock, sold 130,000,000 common shares, to Mr. Robert Hymers, Mr. Edward Manolos and Mr. Dan Nguyen, all of whom were previously unaffiliated parties of the Company. Each individual purchased 43,333,333 common shares for $108,333 or an aggregate of $325,000. These series of transactions constituted a change in control.
On August 9, 2019, we filed a DBA in California registering the operating name Cannabis Global. On July 1, 2019, the Company entered into a 100% business acquisition with Action Nutraceuticals, Inc., a company owned by our CEO, Arman Tabatabaei in exchange for $1,000 (see “Related Party Transactions”).
Effective as of September 30, 2019, we affected a reverse split of our common shares effective as at the rate of 1:15.
On September 11, 2019, we formed a subsidiary Aidan & Co, Inc. (“Aidan”) a California corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Aidan will be engaged in various related business opportunities. At this time Aidan has no operations.
On December 4, 2019, our shareholders approved and authorized (i) re-domiciling the Company from Delaware to Nevada; (ii) changing the name of the Company from MCTC Holdings, Inc. to Cannabis Global, Inc.; and, (iii) seeking a corresponding change of name and new trading symbol for the Company with FINRA.

NOTE 2 - Going Concern Uncertainties and Liquidity Requirements
During financial reporting period ending August 31, 2021, the Company generated $1,601,037 in revenues, has an accumulated deficit of $13,891,788, and does not have positive cash flows from operating activities. The Company expects to incur additional losses as begins to execute its business strategy in the cannabinoid marketplace. The Company will be subject to the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies. The Company may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so could cause the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition to suffer. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance date of these financial statements.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is an issue due to its net losses and negative cash flows from operations, and its need for additional financing to fund future operations. Management plans to obtain necessary funding from outside sources and through the sales of Company shares. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Based on the Company’s current level of expenditures, management believes that cash on hand is not adequate to fund operations for the next twelve months. Management of the Company is estimating approximately $1,000,000 will be required over the next twelve months to fully execute its business strategy. These can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain such funds.
NOTE 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those statements. We have made our best estimates of certain amounts contained in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. However, application of our accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates, assumptions, and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.

Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
We evaluate all of our financial instruments 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 in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use a weighted average Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and NPE, in which the Company controls 56.4% of the common stock. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company accounts for arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights as variable interest entities (“VIEs”). An enterprise is required to consolidate a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. A VIE is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (ii) the entity’s equity holders as a group either: (a) lack the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity if they occur, or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE, the enterprise that is deemed to have a variable interest, or combination of variable interests, that provides the enterprise with a controlling financial interest in the VIE, is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Investments where the Company has significant influence, but not control, and joint ventures which are VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, are recorded under the equity method of accounting on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As of August 31, 2020, the Company held a variable interest in an entity for which it directly held an 18.8% equity interest, and indirectly controlled 37.6% of the equity. The entity was not determined to be a VIE under ASC 810, as it did not meet the criteria outlined above. Since the Company indirectly controls less than 50% of the voting interest of the entity, the entity is not consolidated, and the Company accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 321. Since the entity in which the Company holds its investment does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company elected to account for the investment under the measurement alternative, accounting for the investment at cost less impairment, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the same investment. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company acquired majority control in NPE and now consolidates the entity. See Note 7 for additional information on this investment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent to which it will impact worldwide macroeconomic conditions, the speed of the anticipated recovery, and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of August 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. The matters assessed included accounts receivable and the carrying value of investments, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in additional material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.
Inventory
Inventory is primarily comprised of work in progress. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the net realizable value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to the net realizable value. As of August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020, market values of all of our inventory were at cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowance was recognized.
Deposits
Deposits is comprised of advance payments made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which we have not yet taken title. When we take title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale (see “Costs of Revenues” below). There were no deposits as of August 31, 2021 or August 31, 2020.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the contract or service period.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and, based on a method of specific identification of any accounts receivable for which we deem the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances. In determining our need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, our actual experience may vary from our estimates. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay our fees, we may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that we collect retainers from our clients prior to performing significant services.
CANNABIS GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2021
The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020, we had $0 and $0 allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed into service and is recognized over the estimated useful life. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” We did not capitalize any interest as of August 31, 2021, and as of August 31, 2020.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. We have not recorded any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during the year ended August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and we amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We determined to implement the cumulative effect adjustment approach to our implementation of FASB ASC Topic 606, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented. We apply this method to any incomplete contracts we determine are subject to FASB ASC Topic 606 prospectively. As is more fully discussed below, we are of the opinion that none of our contracts for services or products contain significant financing components that require revenue adjustment under FASB ASC Topic 606.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a significant financing component exists in our consulting and product sales contracts. We examine and evaluate when our customers become liable to pay for goods and services; how much consideration is paid as compared to the cash selling price of the goods or services; and, the length of time between our performance and the receipt of payment.
CANNABIS GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Product Sales
Revenue from product sales, including delivery fees, is recognized at a point in time when control of the promised goods is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Generally, we drop-ship orders to our clients with shipping-point or destination terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. Given the facts that (1) our customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product order; and, (2) the price negotiated in our product sales is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, we are not of the opinion that our product sales indicate or involve any significant customer financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the sales transaction, or would otherwise contain a significant financing component for us or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606.
Costs of Revenues
Our policy is to recognize costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Cost of revenues include the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of restricted common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the years ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 we incurred no income taxes. As of August 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020, we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes.
Loss Contingencies
From time to time the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. On at least a quarterly basis, consistent with ASC 450-20-50-1C, if the Company determines that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred, or is reasonably estimable, regardless of whether the Company accrued for such a loss (or any portion of that loss), the Company will confer with its legal counsel, consistent with ASC 450. If the material loss is determinable or reasonably estimable, the Company will record it in its accounts and as a liability on the balance sheet. If the Company determines that such an estimate cannot be made, the Company's policy is to disclose a demonstration of its attempt to estimate the loss or range of losses before concluding that an estimate cannot be made, and to disclose it in the notes to the financial statements under Contingent Liabilities.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
We report net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.

Note 4 - Net Loss Per Share
During fiscal years ending August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, the Company recorded a net loss. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for those periods. The dilutive weighted average shares for each period reported excludes the effect of shares issuable upon conversion of debt, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. As of August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company carried convertible notes with a carrying value of $1,651,315 and $2,366,660 that are convertible into 94,710,870 shares of common stock, respectively. Additionally, there were 367,750 shares of Series B Convertible preferred stock that were convertible into 17,154,977 shares of common stock as of August 31, 2021.
Note 5 - Notes Receivable
On May 25, 2019, the Company issued two notes payable to Company directors Edward Manolos and Dan Nguyen, each in the amount of $16,667. The notes, which do not have a defined due date, outline a 5% per annum interest rate. These notes are additionally described herein in Footnote 5- Notes Receivable, Related Party and in the footnote outlining Related Party Transactions. These notes are additionally described herein in Footnote 6- Notes to Shareholders, Related Party and in the footnote outlining Related Party Transactions. Because of Mr. Manolos’ and Mr. Nguyen’s associations as directors, the Company believes these transactions are defined by 17 CFR § 229.404 - (Item 404) Transactions with related persons, promoters and certain control persons, which would require specific disclosures under the section cited.
On July 9, 2019, the Company, through its Action Nutraceuticals subsidiary, loaned, Split Tee, LLC (“Split Tee”), a venture associated with Director Edward Manolos, $20,000 to engage in an exploratory research project. An additional $20,000 was supplied to Split Tee on August 23, 2019. The loans carry interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due in one year for issuance. Because of Mr. Manolos’ association as a director, the Company believes these transactions are defined by 17 CFR § 229.404 - (Item 404) Transactions with related persons, promoters and certain control persons, which would require specific disclosures under the section cited. As of the end of the fiscal year August 31, 2020, the Company determined it is not likely that repayment of the $40,000 note would occur, thus the Company booked an allowance for Bad Debt expense for the amount, bringing the note balance to zero, as of the end of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2020.
Note 6 - Intangible Assets
On February 20, 2020, the Company entered into a material definitive agreement with Lelantos Biotech, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Lelantos”), and its owners. On June 15, 2020, the Company and Lelantos entered into a modification agreement cancelling the Company's obligation to issue 400,000 shares of common stock and the convertible promissory notes. The Company and Lelantos agreed to a purchase price of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), payable by the issuance of a promissory note. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the note is paid in monthly payments of seven thousand, five hundred dollars ($7,500) beginning on September 1, 2020, terminating on February 1, 2025. There is no interest on the note or on the unpaid balance.

Note 7 - Acquisition of Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc.
On August 31, 2020 we issued a convertible promissory note pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA) with Robert L. Hymers, III (“Hymers”) to acquire 266,667 shares of common stock of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc., a California corporation (“NPE”), representing 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE on a fully diluted basis. With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between us, or any of our affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, we acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, we agreed to: 1) pay Hymers twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. Hymers has the right at any time six (6) months after the issuance date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the common stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall we issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued, more than the maximum number of shares of common stock that we can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the common stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, we recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903.
On June 11, 2021, we amended the material definitive agreement with Hymers.

As of August 31, 2020, the carrying value of the note was $15,061, net of debt discount of $14,939 and accrued interest was $1,011. On October 9, 2020, Mr. Hymers converted the note payable into 1,500,000 shares of common stock.
On August 21, 2020 the Company, issued a convertible note pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA) to acquire 266,667 shares of common stock of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc., a California corporation (“NPE”), representing 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE on a fully diluted basis. With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between the Registrant, or any of the Registrant’s affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, the Registrant acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, the registrant agreed to: 1) pay Hymers Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. The Holder shall have the right at any time six (6) months after the Issuance Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Registrant issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, the Company recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903. At the time the note becomes convertible, the Company will recognize a derivative liability at fair value related to the embedded conversion option at that time. Prior to these transactions, Robert Hymers III and Alan Tsai each sold equity interest representing a total of 18.8% of the outstanding equity interest of NPE to Edward Manolos, a Director and preferred stockholder of the Company in a private transaction. As a result of these two transactions, the Company beneficially controls approximately 37% of the equity of NPE. After this transaction, a venture capital company controls 40% of the equity interests in NPE, the Company, Alan Tsai and Edward Manolos each control 18.8% and one other entity controls 3.5%. During the three months ended May 31, 2021, Robert Hymers elected to converted $576,000 of the principal on the $1,500,000 note into 9,600,000 shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

The Company evaluated its interest in NPE as of August 31, 2020 under ASC 810. Management determined that it had a variable interest in NPE, but that NPE does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity, and does not have an indirect voting interest of greater than 50%. Based on these factors, the investment in NPE by the Company, the investment in NPE will be accounted for as an equity method investment under the measurement alternative available under ASC 321 with the Company recording its share of the profits and losses of NPE at each reporting period. The initial investment balance was $1,714,903 based on the initial fair value estimate of the note payable and convertible note payable issued as consideration for the investment. The Company subsequently acquired control of NPE and began consolidating the results of operations into its financial statements, as described in Note 7.

See Note 12 for further discussion of the accounting treatment of the embedded conversion options of the above promissory notes payable as derivative liabilities
Note 12. - Derivative Liability and Far Value Measurement
Upon the issuance of the convertible promissory notes with variable conversion prices and fixed conversion prices with reset provisions, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded in the debentures should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.
At the issuance date of the convertible notes payable during the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of all embedded derivatives of $7,452,815 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 311% to 378%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.04% to 0.21%, and (4) expected life of 0.75 years to 1.5 years.
On August 31, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $4,747,615 using the Black Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 307%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.05% to 0.07%, and (4) expected life of 0.1 to 1 years.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
• Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
• Level 2 - Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities; and
• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.
All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
As of August 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2021:
Balance, August 31, 2020 $ 1,125,803
Transfers in due to issuance of convertible promissory notes 7,452,815
Transfers out due to repayments of convertible promissory notes (1,850,488 )
Transfers out due to conversions of convertible promissory notes (1,808,944 )
Change in fair value of derivative liability (171,572 )
Balance, August 31, 2021 $ 4,764,614
The total impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2021 was a gain of $2,022,060, representing the impact of retirement of derivative liabilities from payments on convertible promissory notes and the change in fair value of remaining derivative liabilities as of August 31, 2021.
Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurement. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses discussed below.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the Board, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
· pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets.
· provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures of are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and,
· provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of our inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management identified the following material weaknesses:
· we do not have an Audit Committee - While not being legally obligated to have an Audit Committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert board member, is an utmost important entity level control of the Company’s financial statements. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.
· we have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to control objectives.
· we have not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls.
· we have not implemented adequate system and manual controls; and
· we do not have sufficient segregation of duties.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on management’s assessment, management concluded that the above material weaknesses have not been remediated and, accordingly, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as of August 31, 2021.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We have designed and plan to implement, or in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives described below:
· We intend to allocate resources to perform a risk assessment and map processes to control objectives and, where necessary, implement and document internal controls in accordance with COSO.
· Our entity-level controls are, generally, informal and we intend to evaluate current processes, supplement where necessary, and document requirements.
· While we have implemented procedures to identify, evaluate and record significant transactions, we need to formally document these procedures and evidence the performance of the related controls.
· We plan to evaluate system and manual controls, identify specific weaknesses, and implement a comprehensive system of internal controls.
Management understands that in order to remediate the material weaknesses, additional segregation of duties, changes in personnel and technologies are necessary. We will not consider these material weaknesses fully remediated until management has tested those internal controls and found them to be operating effectively.
This Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to such attestation pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to management's attention during the Company's last fiscal year end that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons
Our Company reviews transactions between our Company and persons or entities considered to be related parties (collectively “related parties”). Our Company considers entities to be related parties where an executive officer, director or a 5% or more beneficial owner of our shares of Common Stock (or an immediate family member of these persons) has a direct or indirect material interest. Transactions of this nature require the approval of our Board.
On July 1, 2019, the Company acquired Action Nutraceuticals, Inc., a company owned by our CEO, Arman Tabatabaei. The value of the transaction value was nominal, at only one thousand dollars ($1,000). Therefore, the Company believes its acquisition of Action Nutraceuticals, Inc. is not an acquisition of a significant amount of assets, or a transaction defined by 17 CFR § 229.404 \- (Item 404) “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons” that would require specific disclosure under the section cited. Regardless, the Company will disclose the transaction pursuant to 17 CFR § 229.404 - (Item 404) “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons.” No intellectual property, patents or trademarks were acquired in the transaction.
On July 9, 2019, the Company, through its Action Nutraceuticals subsidiary, loaned, Split Tee, LLC (“Split Tee”), a venture associated with Director Edward Manolos, $20,000 to engage in an exploratory research project. An additional $20,000 was supplied to Split Tee on August 23, 2019. The loans carry interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due in one year for issuance. In addition, The Company, via Action Nutraceuticals subsidiary, invoiced Split Tee $5,000 as a consulting fee. Because of Mr. Manolos’ association as a director, the Company believes these transactions are defined by 17 CFR § 229.404 - (Item 404) Transactions with related persons, promoters and certain control persons, which would require specific disclosures under the section cited. As of the end of the fiscal year August 31, 2020, the Company determined it is not likely that repayment of the $40,000 note would occur, thus the Company booked an allowance for Bad Debt expense for the amount, bringing the note balance to zero, as of the end of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2020.
During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $133,101 in exchange for accrued expenses owed to related parties, of which $79,333 is payable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and $53,768 is payable to the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer (Robert L. Hymers III). The notes mature two years from the respective issuance date and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. The noteholders shall have the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a variable conversion price of 50% of the average of the previous twenty (20) trading day closing prices of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment. As a result of the variable conversion prices, upon issuance, the Company recognized total debt discount of $133,101, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. On May 22, 2020, the Chief Executive Officer converted $79,333 in principal and $2,608 of accrued interest into 694,902 shares of common stock to be issued having a fair value of $232,792. The conversion resulted in the elimination of $70,313 of remaining debt discount, the elimination of $231,632 of derivative liabilities, and a $10,468 gain on conversion that resulted from a related party and was therefore included in Additional paid-in capital. As of August 31, 2020, the carrying value of the remaining note with the former chief financial officer was $15,884, net of debt discount of $37,884 and accrued interest was $3,138.
On April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer (Robert L. Hymers III, hereinafter referred to as the “CFO”) whereby the CFO resigned and the Company issued a promissory note for $30,000, which represented the remaining amount owed to the CFO for services rendered. The note matures December 31, 2020 and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. The noteholder has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.02 per share, subject to adjustment. As a result of the beneficial conversion price, upon issuance, the Company recognized debt discount of $30,000, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. As of August 31, 2020, the carrying value of the note was $15,061, net of debt discount of $14,939 and accrued interest was $1,011.
On July 22, 2020, we signed a management agreement with Whisper Weed, Inc., a California corporation (“Whisper Weed”). Our director Edward Manolos is a shareholder in Whisper Weed. Whisper Weed conducts licensed delivery activity of cannabis products in California. The agreement requires the parties to create a separate entity, CGI Whisper W, Inc. in California as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The business of CGI Whisper W, Inc. will be to provide management services for the lawful delivery of cannabis in the State of California. The Company will manage CGI Whisper W, Inc. operations. In exchange for the Company providing management services to Whisper Weed through the auspices of CGI Whisper W, Inc., the Company will receive as consideration a quarterly fee of 51% of the net profits earned by Whisper Weed. As separate consideration for the transaction, the Company agreed to issue to Whisper Weed $150,000 in the Company’s restricted common stock, valued for purposes of issuance based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty days preceding the entry into the material definitive agreement. Additionally, the Company agreed to amend its articles of incorporation to designate a new class of preferred shares. The preferred class shall be designated and issued to Whisper Weed in an amount equal to two times the quarterly payment made to the Company. The preferred shares shall be convertible into the Company’s common stock after 6 months, and shall be senior to other debts of the Company. The conversion to common stock will be based on a value of common stock equal to at least two times the actual sales for the previous 90 day period. The Company agreed to include in the designation the obligation to make a single dividend payment to Whisper Weed equal to 90% of the initial quarterly net profits payable by Whisper Weed. As of August 31, 2020, no common or preferred shares have been issued.
On August 21, 2020 the Company, issued a convertible note pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA) to acquire 266,667 shares of common stock of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc., a California corporation (“NPE”), representing 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE on a fully diluted basis. With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between the Registrant, or any of the Registrant’s affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, the Registrant acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, the registrant agreed to: 1) pay Robert L. Hymers, III twenty thousand United States Dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. The Holder shall have the right at any time six (6) months after the Issuance Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Registrant issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, the Company recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company acquired an additional 37.6% interest in NPE and consolidates the financial information in its consolidated financial statements from the point that control was obtained.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons
Our Company reviews transactions between our Company and persons or entities considered to be related parties (collectively “related parties”). Our Company considers entities to be related parties where an executive officer, director or a 5% or more beneficial owner of our shares of Common Stock (or an immediate family member of these persons) has a direct or indirect material interest. Transactions of this nature require the approval of our Board.
On July 1, 2019, the Company acquired Action Nutraceuticals, Inc., a company owned by our CEO, Arman Tabatabaei. The value of the transaction value was nominal, at only one thousand dollars ($1,000). Therefore, the Company believes its acquisition of Action Nutraceuticals, Inc. is not an acquisition of a significant amount of assets, or a transaction defined by 17 CFR § 229.404 \- (Item 404) “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons” that would require specific disclosure under the section cited. Regardless, the Company will disclose the transaction pursuant to 17 CFR § 229.404 - (Item 404) “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons.” No intellectual property, patents or trademarks were acquired in the transaction.
On July 9, 2019, the Company, through its Action Nutraceuticals subsidiary, loaned, Split Tee, LLC (“Split Tee”), a venture associated with Director Edward Manolos, $20,000 to engage in an exploratory research project. An additional $20,000 was supplied to Split Tee on August 23, 2019. The loans carry interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due in one year for issuance. In addition, The Company, via Action Nutraceuticals subsidiary, invoiced Split Tee $5,000 as a consulting fee. Because of Mr. Manolos’ association as a director, the Company believes these transactions are defined by 17 CFR § 229.404 - (Item 404) Transactions with related persons, promoters and certain control persons, which would require specific disclosures under the section cited. As of the end of the fiscal year August 31, 2020, the Company determined it is not likely that repayment of the $40,000 note would occur, thus the Company booked an allowance for Bad Debt expense for the amount, bringing the note balance to zero, as of the end of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2020.
During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $133,101 in exchange for accrued expenses owed to related parties, of which $79,333 is payable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and $53,768 is payable to the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer (Robert L. Hymers III). The notes mature two years from the respective issuance date and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. The noteholders shall have the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a variable conversion price of 50% of the average of the previous twenty (20) trading day closing prices of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment. As a result of the variable conversion prices, upon issuance, the Company recognized total debt discount of $133,101, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. On May 22, 2020, the Chief Executive Officer converted $79,333 in principal and $2,608 of accrued interest into 694,902 shares of common stock to be issued having a fair value of $232,792. The conversion resulted in the elimination of $70,313 of remaining debt discount, the elimination of $231,632 of derivative liabilities, and a $10,468 gain on conversion that resulted from a related party and was therefore included in Additional paid-in capital. As of August 31, 2020, the carrying value of the remaining note with the former chief financial officer was $15,884, net of debt discount of $37,884 and accrued interest was $3,138.
On April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer (Robert L. Hymers III, hereinafter referred to as the “CFO”) whereby the CFO resigned and the Company issued a promissory note for $30,000, which represented the remaining amount owed to the CFO for services rendered. The note matures December 31, 2020 and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. The noteholder has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.02 per share, subject to adjustment. As a result of the beneficial conversion price, upon issuance, the Company recognized debt discount of $30,000, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. As of August 31, 2020, the carrying value of the note was $15,061, net of debt discount of $14,939 and accrued interest was $1,011.
On July 22, 2020, we signed a management agreement with Whisper Weed, Inc., a California corporation (“Whisper Weed”). Our director Edward Manolos is a shareholder in Whisper Weed. Whisper Weed conducts licensed delivery activity of cannabis products in California. The agreement requires the parties to create a separate entity, CGI Whisper W, Inc. in California as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The business of CGI Whisper W, Inc. will be to provide management services for the lawful delivery of cannabis in the State of California. The Company will manage CGI Whisper W, Inc. operations. In exchange for the Company providing management services to Whisper Weed through the auspices of CGI Whisper W, Inc., the Company will receive as consideration a quarterly fee of 51% of the net profits earned by Whisper Weed. As separate consideration for the transaction, the Company agreed to issue to Whisper Weed $150,000 in the Company’s restricted common stock, valued for purposes of issuance based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty days preceding the entry into the material definitive agreement. Additionally, the Company agreed to amend its articles of incorporation to designate a new class of preferred shares. The preferred class shall be designated and issued to Whisper Weed in an amount equal to two times the quarterly payment made to the Company. The preferred shares shall be convertible into the Company’s common stock after 6 months, and shall be senior to other debts of the Company. The conversion to common stock will be based on a value of common stock equal to at least two times the actual sales for the previous 90 day period. The Company agreed to include in the designation the obligation to make a single dividend payment to Whisper Weed equal to 90% of the initial quarterly net profits payable by Whisper Weed. As of August 31, 2020, no common or preferred shares have been issued.
On August 21, 2020 the Company, issued a convertible note pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA) to acquire 266,667 shares of common stock of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc., a California corporation (“NPE”), representing 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE on a fully diluted basis. With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between the Registrant, or any of the Registrant’s affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, the Registrant acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, the registrant agreed to: 1) pay Robert L. Hymers, III twenty thousand United States Dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. The Holder shall have the right at any time six (6) months after the Issuance Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Registrant issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, the Company recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903. During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company acquired an additional 37.6% interest in NPE and consolidates the financial information in its consolidated financial statements from the point that control was obtained.
