Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

The Company operates two business segments: PrestoCorp, Inc. (“PrestoCorp”), a telehealth business, and GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”), a contract manufacturing business.  The results of PrestoCorp and GKMP are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Discussion of results of operations includes the consolidated results and the business segment results in the following sections.

	Three Months Ended

NET LOSS FROM OPERATIONS	(634,715)	(672,775)	38,060	-6%

Revenues grew 13% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.  Revenues in the first quarter of 2021 increased primarily due to growth in revenue of GKMP.  GKMP began operations in the first quarter of 2020 and reported nominal revenues in that quarter.  Revenues reported by GKMP were up 374% in the first quarter of 2021 compared the first quarter of 2020.  GKMP operations however, has not achieved positive margins and the increase in revenue did not support the added cost of the contract manufacturing operations. As a result, margins decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. See discussion under Business Segments, below.

Net operating loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $634,715 compared to net loss of $672,775 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.  Total operating expenses were $927,024 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and $978,580 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.  The decrease in total operating costs was largely attributable to a significant reduction of 57% in professional fees partially offset by a 22% increase in general and administrative expenses and a 13% increase in wages and salaries brought on by the addition of GKMP operations. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of compensation paid to the principals of PrestoCorp.

Business Segment Results.

	Three months ended
	A	B	A-B
PRESTOCORP	March 31, 2021	March 31, 2020	Change	Change %
REVENUE	$  482,350	$  478,231	$    4,119	1%
Cost of revenues	183,503	183,874	(371)	0%
Cost of revenues % of total sales	38%	38%	0%
Gross profit	298,847	294,357	4,490	2%
Gross profit % of sales	62%	62%	0%

PrestoCorp revenues increase slightly in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  The relatively flat change in sales was the result of a revenue spike in the first quarter of 2020 when the COVID 19 pandemic was starting, telehealth regulations had begun to ease, and the Company had expanded its market footprint.  That rapid rise in 2020 was not sustained in 2021, primarily due to a leveling off of demand after the 2020 rush. Management expects that growth in demand for our services will be slower than in 2020 but we expect to see continued growth through the remainder of the year as we expand into new states that recently legalized medical marijuana and as consumers continue to be more accepting of telehealth services. Margins were consistent with prior periods at 62% of revenue.

	Three months ended
	A	B	A-B
GKMP	March 31, 2021	March 31, 2020	Change	Change %
REVENUE	$    74,973	$    15,830	$ 59,143	374%
Cost of revenues	81,511	3,461	78,050	2255%
Cost of revenues % of total sales	109%	22%	87%
Gross profit (loss)	(6,538)	12,369	(18,907)	-153%
Gross profit % of sales	-9%	78%	-87%

GKMP was newly organized in the first quarter of 2020 and reported only nominal revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2020. While revenue grew by 374% in the first quarter of 2021, cost of sales increased by 2255% and GKMP generated negative gross margins. The Company experienced headwinds from the COVID 19 pandemic which were reflected in slow sales as customers delayed buying decisions while they assessed market demand for their products.  As a result, GKMP has operated at a loss since inception and currently does not have sufficient business to achieve profitability.

While management of GKMP reports sales opportunities in 2021, they have yet to turn into firm orders and there is substantial uncertainty regarding the timing when GKMP will be able to achieve breakeven results.  Management of CBDS is currently evaluating options, including sale of CBDS’s 51% ownership of GKMP to another public company, and it appears likely that this sale will occur in the second quarter 2021.  If the discussions regarding sale of GKMP are finalized, CBDS will exit the contract manufacturing space.

In April 2021, the Company entered into discussions with THC Farmaceuticals, Inc. (“CBDG”) a company related to CBDS through interlocking ownership by David Tobias, president, regarding sale of CBDS’s majority ownership positions in GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. and iBudtender Inc. The discussions were triggered by an interest on the part of CBDS management to refocus business efforts on growing PrestoCorp while simplifying the financial statements by eliminating assets that are no longer considered essential to the Company’s core focus.  Management believes that the sale of GKMP and iBudtender will free up management time to seek other acquisitions that are more closely aligned with the PrestoCorp business model.  The agreement with CBDG has not yet been finalized pending completion of additional due diligence review by both CBDS and CBDG, but it is likely that the sale will be finalized in the second quarter of 2021. Consideration for the sale of the majority interests will consist of 1,500,000 shares of CBDG preferred stock and 1,500,000 shares of CBDG common stock.  The due diligence investigation on this sale is ongoing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, was $87,217.  During the same period, our cash decreased by $13,459.  Financing activities generated $73,758 in the three months from advances from related parties totaling $48,258, from related party notes payable totaling $20,500, and from the sale of common stock totaling $5,000.  We also reported stock-based compensation of $489,986 during the three-month period from issuance of common and preferred stock as compensation for services performed by officers, directors, and contractors. On March 31, 2021, our cash position was $308,648. Given the level of operations in our first quarter, we expect that additional funds will be required.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We incurred net losses attributable to Cannabis Sativa, Inc. of $419,990 and $616,407, respectively, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and had an accumulated deficit of $77,448,329 as of March 31, 2021, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they are due.

Management is currently evaluating several fund-raising alternatives including private placement of equity securities, a secondary public offering, and various debt instruments. In addition, key members of management have indicated a willingness to provide additional operating capital from time to time. We are also currently selling a portion of our investment securities to generate cash for operations. Based on all these considerations, we believe we will have sufficient capital to operate the business for the next twelve months. It will be important for the Company to be successful in its efforts to raise capital if it is going to be able to further its business plan in an aggressive manner.  Raising capital in this manner will cause dilution to current shareholders.

COVID-19

COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Its rapid spread around the world and throughout the United States prompted many countries, including the United States, to institute restrictions on travel, public gatherings, and certain business operations. These restrictions significantly disrupted economic activity in the United States and Worldwide. To date, the disruption did not materially impact the Company’s financial statements. The pandemic has had a positive impact on the telehealth business, but this positive impact was partially offset by a negative impact on our start-up operations in GKMP. If the severity of the economic disruptions increase as the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the negative financial impact due to reduced demand could be significantly greater in future periods than in the first quarter.

The effects of the continued outbreak of COVID-19 and related government responses could also include extended disruptions to supply chains and capital markets, reduced labor availability and a prolonged reduction in economic activity. These effects could have a variety of adverse impacts on the Company, including our ability to operate our facilities. To date, there have been no material adverse impacts to the Registrants’ operations due to COVID-19.

In addition, the economic disruptions caused by COVID-19 could also adversely impact the impairment risks for certain long-lived assets, equity method investments and goodwill. Management evaluated these impairment considerations and determined that no such impairments occurred through the date of this report.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Conclusions of Management Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as it was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures.

Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of remediation. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As the Company grows, management expects to increase the number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings, and, to the best of our knowledge, no such legal proceedings have been threatened against us.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, the board of directors issued 669,301 shares of unregistered common stock and 73,530 shares of unregistered preferred stock to seven persons/entities in exchange for services rendered to the Company. These unregistered shares were in addition to an aggregate of 209,701 common shares that were registered for resale on Form S-8.  The unregistered shares were valued at the closing price of the shares in the OTCQB Market on the dates the shares became issuable. The company also issued 10,466 shares to one individual pursuant to their investment in a private offering. The issuances of the unregistered shares were exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act since the recipients of the shares were persons closely associated with the Company and/or the issuance of the shares did not involve any public offering.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business:

Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company,” “us”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated as Ultra Sun Corp. under the laws of Nevada in November 2004.  On November 13, 2013, we changed our name to Cannabis Sativa, Inc.  We operate through several subsidiaries including PrestoCorp, Inc. (“PrestoCorp”), iBudtender, Inc. (“iBudtender”), Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. (“Wild Earth”), Kubby Patent and Licenses Limited Liability Company, (“KPAL”), Hi Brands, International, Inc. (“Hi Brands”), GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”), and Eden Holdings LLC (“Eden”).  PrestoCorp and GK Manufacturing are both 51% owned subsidiaries and iBudtender is a 50.1% owned subsidiary. Wild Earth, KPAL, Hi Brands, and Eden are wholly owned subsidiaries. Currently, PrestoCorp, GKMP and iBudtender are operating subsidiaries, although iBudtender is not currently generating any revenue. The Company is reviewing opportunities for business development relating to Wild Earth, KPAL, and Hi Brands. Eden is not operating and had no activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Our primary operations in the three months ended March 31, 2021 were through PrestoCorp, which provides telemedicine online referral services for customers desiring medical marijuana cards in states where medical marijuana has been legalized. GKMP commenced operations during the second quarter of 2020. The Company is also actively seeking new business opportunities for acquisition and is continually reviewing opportunities for product and brand development through our Wild Earth, Hi Brands, and KPAL subsidiaries. iBudtender is also working to complete and commercialize an application (the iBudtender App) that will provide a convenient means for sharing information about cannabis products, patients and businesses.

Basis of Presentation

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with audited financial statements and related footnotes set forth in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2021.

CANNABIS SATIVA, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

Principles of Consolidation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company” or “CBDS”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Wild Earth Naturals, Inc., Hi-Brands International, Inc., Eden Holdings LLC, our 50.1% ownership of iBudtender Inc., our 51% ownership of PrestoCorp, and our 51% ownership of GK Manufacturing Inc., (collectively referred to as the “Company”).  All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. We hold controlling interests in iBudTender, PrestoCorp and GK Manufacturing and exercise control through management practices and oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors.  GK Manufacturing was established in February 2020.

Going Concern:

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $77,448,329 at March 31, 2021, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they are due.

Use of Estimates:

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

Inventories:

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $29,435 and $56,485, respectively, in inventory relating to GKMP which consists of the raw materials and packaging used to manufacture cannabidiol (“CBD”) infused products for our customers.

Net Loss per Share:

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and contains no dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company.  Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company had 125,000 and 49,900 outstanding warrants, respectively, that would be dilutive to future periods net income. Also, at March 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company had 995,692 and

CANNABIS SATIVA, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

1,254,012 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock, respectively, that would be dilutive to future periods net income.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company currently operates two divisions, the telehealth business operated through PrestoCorp and the contract manufacturing business operated through GKMP.

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

The contract manufacturing division recognizes revenue from manufacturing operations when the products are shipped to the customer. In some instances, customers provide inventory for the manufacturing process and GKMP provides labor, supplies and manufacturing operations to mix and package the products.  Revenues are recognized when the manufacturing and packaging process are completed and the goods have been shipped to the customer.  In other instances, the Company acquires inventory and manufactures products for customers and/or to hold in inventory for later sale to customers through the GKMP on-site dispensary, through the GKMP online store, or to independent distributors. In these instances, revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer or distributor.  Shipment terms are FOB origination.

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

Intangible Assets and Goodwill:

Intangible asset amounts represent the acquisition date fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair values of the intangible assets were determined by using the income approach, discounting projected future cash flows based on management’s expectations of the current and future operating environment. The rates used to discount projected future cash flows reflected a weighted average cost of capital based on our industry, capital structure and risk premiums including those reflected in the current market capitalization. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, which have historically ranged from 5 to 10 years. The carrying

FS - 8

CANNABIS SATIVA, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

amounts of our definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the entity may be unable to recover the asset’s carrying amount.   At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we do not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Accounting Standards Updates Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update contains a number of provisions intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. Adoption of this update on January 1, 2021 had no  impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years and with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

7.  Acquisition of GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc.

In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired assets and established GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”) to conduct contract manufacturing operations for customers seeking to obtain CBD infused products, including salves, tinctures, edibles, and other products containing CBD. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued two key individuals an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $109,000 for a 51% interest in GKMP.  The 49% non-controlling interest is considered a related party to the Company because the non-controlling interest is owned, in part, by the president of GKMP.

Employment Agreements.  Upon completion of the acquisition of assets for GKMP, GKMP entered into employment agreements with the two key individuals. The employment agreements are terminable at any time with or without cause, but in the event of termination without cause, the salary will continue for six months. Salary for the president of GKMP is set at $65,000 per annum and salary for the Vice President – Sales and Marketing is set at $50,000 per annum.  The agreements also provide the individuals with expense reimbursements and other employee benefits comparable to those being offered to the other employees of the Company. Currently, GKMP has not established any other employee benefit programs.

Contingent Consideration.  In connection with the GKMP asset acquisition, the Company agreed to pay additional consideration to the two key individuals employed by GKMP upon achievement of certain performance goals. If GKMP net revenues exceed $3,000,000 and net income exceeds 25% of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2020, an additional $1,000,000 in consideration would be due to the key individuals. If GKMP net revenues exceed $6,000,000 and net income exceeds 25% of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2020, an additional $500,000 in consideration would be due to the key individuals ($1,500,000 in the aggregate). The additional consideration amounts, if any, would be payable in stock at the average closing price of the shares in the five trading days prior to the date of payment.  During the year ended December 31, 2020, GKMP had net revenues of approximately $95,000 and no additional consideration was paid under this provision.

Working Capital Obligation. In connection with the GKMP asset acquisition, the Company agreed to provide up to an additional $500,000 in working capital to GKMP.  The full amount of the working capital commitment to GKMP was funded in the year ended December 31, 2020.

8.  Business Segments and Revenues

The Company is currently organized and managed in two segments which represent our operating units: PrestoCorp and GKMP.  PrestoCorp is a telehealth business and GKMP is a contract manufacturing business. General corporate activities not associated with these segments are presented as “other.” Other income (expense) items are considered general corporate items and are not allocated to our segments.

intellectual property disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject us to litigation. As of March 31, 2021, one claim was pending or threatened relating to general business disputes and accounts payable for services. Management believes the outcome of currently pending claim is not likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Shares in Escrow.  At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has 209,738 and 419,475, respectively, shares of common stock in escrow as part of the acquisition of PrestoCorp. These shares are issuable in certain circumstances to the principals of PrestoCorp based on performance of the PrestoCorp business.  The escrowed shares are not counted in the outstanding stock of the Company and will be considered compensation to the principals if and when issued.  The escrow account originally contained 629,213 shares of common stock but 209,738 shares were cancelled in 2018 when the performance requirements related to those shares were not met.  Another 209,738 shares were released to the principals in January 2021 upon satisfaction of performance requirements for which compensation expense of $111,161 was recognized during the three month period ended March 31, 2021.  The escrow account includes 500 shares of PrestoCorp common stock which is distributable either back to the principals of PrestoCorp or to the Company depending on certain minimum performance requirements which extend into 2021.  If all of the PrestoCorp shares are ultimately distributed to the Company, the shares would have the effect of increasing the Company’s ownership of PrestoCorp to 61% from the current level of 51%.

In August 2020, the Company entered into discussions with the principals of PrestoCorp regarding the escrowed shares and various compensation matters relating to their work for the Company through the date of the discussions. The principals of PrestoCorp have requested adjustment of their compensation and bonus structure retroactive back to January 1, 2021 and have requested the right to earn back the 500 shares of PrestoCorp common stock over a three-year period ending on December 31, 2023 based on future performance. The Company is still in discussions with the principals of PrestoCorp regarding repayment of advances made to PrestoCorp by CBDS for operating expenses and compensation. Management believes this remaining issue will be amicably resolved in the second quarter, at which point the disagreement will be fully resolved.   No contingent liability has been established for this disagreement. Management does not believe the outcome of this matter will have a material impact on the financial statements or the results of operations even if the matter required a more formal dispute resolution process and the PrestoCorp principals prevail on their claims.

10.   COVID- 19:

The outbreak of COVID-19, the coronavirus, has grown both in the United States and globally, and related government and private sector responsive actions have adversely affected the Company’s business operations. The World Health Organization has declared Covid-19 to be a global pandemic, resulting in an economic downturn and changes in global economic policy that will reduce demand for the Company’s products and may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
