NOTE 5. INVESTMENT

On February 25, 2019, the Company acquired 3,712,500 shares and 2,500,000 Warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of CAD$1.00 of GN Ventures, Ltd., Alberta, Canada, f/k/a Great Northern Cannabis, Ltd. (“GN”), in exchange for an aggregate of 7,988,963 shares of the Company’s Common Stock from a former officer and shareholder of GN. On the date of purchase, the Company’s Common Stock was trading at $1.41 which values the purchase at $11,264,438. For balance sheet purposes the Company has treated this purchase using the cost method because the purchase consists of an investment in a private company in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over GN’s operating and financial activities.

The Company conducted an impairment test on December 31, 2019, and determined that an impairment existed resulting in a write-down of the investment by $7,070,841 to a current value of $4,193,597.
