Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking
statements, concerning our financial condition, results of operations and
business. These statements include, among others:
o statements concerning the benefits that we expect will result from the
business activities that we contemplate; and
o statements of our expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies,
anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical
facts.
You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as
"believes", "expects", "anticipates", "estimates" or similar expressions used in
this prospectus.
These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks
and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different
from any future results expressed or implied in those statements. Because the
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ
materially from those expressed or implied. We caution you not to put undue
reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this
prospectus.
5
To the extent, the information contained in this prospectus, changes in any
material respect, we will amend this prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
This section discloses all material risks known to us. We do not make, nor
have we authorized any other person to make, any representation about the future
market value of our common stock. In addition to the other information contained
in this registration statement, the following factors should be considered
carefully in evaluating an investment in our securities. If any of the risks
discussed below materialize, our current and intended business could fail and
our common stock could decline in value or become worthless.
Risks about our business
We have a limited operating history and may never be profitable. Since we
recently commenced operations under our new business plan, it is difficult for
potential investors to evaluate our business. We will need to raise additional
capital in order to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that we will
be profitable or that our shares will have any value.
Although we had net income for the three and nine months ended October 31,
2014, we may incur future losses.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our remaining
profitable in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our
obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations
when they come due. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in
achieving these objectives.
All of our current agreements to provide our services are with affiliated
entities, and were not negotiated at arm's length. Since all of our agreements
to provide services are with affiliated entities and were not negotiated at
arm's length, there is no assurance that others engaged in the marijuana
industry will view the terms and conditions of these agreements and services as
reasonable or fair, which could substantially inhibit our ability to fulfill our
business model and grow. Further, disagreements that may arise among our
affiliated entities could result in the termination of our current agreements,
which could cause our business to fail.
We are dependent on entities controlled by affiliates for all of our
revenue. As of the date of this prospectus, all of our revenue was derived from
companies controlled by Shawn Phillips and Erin Phillips, two of our officers
and directors. Our business would suffer, and may fail, if Mr. and Mrs. Phillips
were unable to meet their financial commitments to us.
Our failure to obtain capital may significantly restrict our proposed
operations. We need capital to operate and fund our business plan. We do not
6
know what the terms of any future capital raising may be; however, any future
sale of our equity securities will dilute the ownership of existing stockholders
and could be at prices substantially below the price of our shares of common
stock in any pubic market that may exist for such shares. The failure of us to
obtain such capital as required may result in the slower implementation of our
business plan or our inability to continue our business.
Our business is dependent on laws pertaining to the marijuana industry.
Continued development of the marijuana industry is dependent upon continued
legislative authorization of marijuana at the state level. Any number of factors
could slow or halt progress in this area. Further, progress, while encouraging,
is not assured. While there may be ample public support for legislative action,
numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could
slow or halt the lawful public use of marijuana, which would negatively impact
our proposed business.
As of January 31, 2015, 20 states and the District of Columbia allow their
citizens to use Medical Marijuana. Additionally, voters in the states of
Colorado and Washington approved ballot measures last November to legalize
cannabis for adult use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal
Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a
national level. The Obama administration has effectively stated that it is not
an efficient use of resources to direct law federal law enforcement agencies to
prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and
distribution of medical marijuana. However, there is no guarantee that the
administration will not change its stated policy regarding the low-priority
enforcement of such federal laws. Additionally, any new administration that
follows could change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws
strongly. Any such change in the federal government's enforcement of current
federal laws or the enactment of new or more restrictive laws could cause
significant financial damage to us and our shareholders.
Further, and while we do not intend to harvest, distribute or sell
cannabis, by leasing facilities to growers of marijuana, we could be deemed to
be participating in marijuana cultivation, which remains illegal under federal
law, and may expose us to potential criminal liability, with the additional risk
that our properties could be subject to civil forfeiture proceedings.
The marijuana industry faces strong opposition. It is believed by many that
large well-funded businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the
marijuana industry. We believe that the pharmaceutical industry clearly does not
want to cede control of any product that could generate significant revenue. For
example, medical marijuana will likely adversely impact the existing market for
the current "marijuana pill" sold by mainstream pharmaceutical companies.
Further, the Medical Marijuana industry could face a material threat from the
pharmaceutical industry, should marijuana displace other drugs or encroach upon
the pharmaceutical industry's products. The pharmaceutical industry is well
funded with a strong and experienced lobby that eclipses the funding of the
Medical Marijuana movement. Any inroads the pharmaceutical industry could make
in halting or impeding the marijuana industry could have a detrimental impact on
our proposed business.
Marijuana remains illegal under Federal law. Marijuana is a Schedule-I
controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states in
which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use remains a violation of
federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts state
7
laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding
marijuana would likely result in our inability to proceed with our business plan
and could cause us to cease our business.
Laws and regulations affecting the marijuana industry are constantly
changing, which could detrimentally affect our proposed operations. Local, state
and federal marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to
evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs
associated with compliance or alter our business plan. In addition, violations
of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and
result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, it is
possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly
applicable to our proposed business. We cannot predict the nature of any future
laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what
effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and
procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.
Potential competitors could duplicate our business model. There are limited
aspects of our business which are protected by patents, copyrights, trademarks
or trade names. As a result, potential competitors could duplicate our business
model with little effort.
We are dependent on our management and the loss of any of our officers
could harm our business. Our future success depends largely upon the experience,
skill, and contacts of our officers. The loss of the services of these officers
may have a material adverse effect upon our business.
Risks about our Common Stock
Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of
trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it
difficult to sell their shares. Trading of our common stock will be subject to
Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which rule imposes certain
requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to
persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." For
transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special
suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The Securities
and Exchange Commission also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in
connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks generally are
equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities
registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ
system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny
stock rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides
information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny
stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid
and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer
and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing
the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and
offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation
information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to
effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or
with the customer's confirmation.
8
There is no established public market for our common stock, and any market
that may develop could be volatile. There is currently no established public
market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that any established
public market for our shares will commence, or if one does commence, that it
will continue, in any respect. Interest in our common stock may not lead to a
liquid trading market, and the market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The following may result in short-term or long-term negative pressure on the
trading price of our shares, among other factors:
o Price and volume fluctuations in the stock market at large, which do
not relate to our operating performance; and
o Comments by securities analysts or government officials, including
those with regard to the viability or profitability of the life
settlement industry generally or with regard to our ability to meet
market expectations.
The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies.
We are an "emerging growth company," subject to less stringent reporting
and regulatory requirements of other publicly-held companies, and this status
may have an adverse effect on our ability to attract interest in our common
stock. We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012, or "JOBS Act." As long as we remain an "emerging
growth company," we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting and regulatory requirements that are applicable to other public
companies that are not an "emerging growth company." We cannot predict if
investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on
these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a
result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active
trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
Our management, who are husband and wife, own approximately 94.7% of our
outstanding common stock and could elect all of our directors who in turn elect
all of our officers. This percentage of stock ownership is significant in that
it could carry any vote on any matter requiring stockholder approval, including
the subsequent election of directors, who in turn elect all officers. As a
result, these persons effectively control the Company, regardless of the vote of
other stockholders. As a result, other stockholders may not have an effective
voice in our affairs. See the section of this prospectus captioned "Principal
Shareholders". This percentage does not include shares underlying outstanding
options or warrants that can be exercised within 60 days.
Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect our stock price and
our ability to raise capital in the future, resulting in our inability to raise
required funding for our operations. Future sales of substantial amounts of our
common stock could harm any market that develops in our common stock. This also
could harm our ability to raise capital in the future. Any sales of substantial
amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that those
sales might occur, could harm the market price, if any, of our common stock. See
the section of this prospectus captioned "Market Price of Common Stock" and
9
"Principal Shareholders". Further, certain stockholders have registration rights
under which we will be required to register their shares for resale with the
Securities and Exchange Commission; these shares or any registered securities we
may register can also have an adverse effect on any market for our common stock.
We will not solicit the approval of our stockholders for the issuance of
authorized but unissued shares of our common stock unless this approval is
deemed advisable by our Board of Directors or is required by applicable law,
regulation or any applicable stock exchange listing requirements. The issuance
of any additional shares of our common stock could dilute the value of our
outstanding shares of common stock.
MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading
symbol "STWC". There has been very limited trading of our common stock since
trading began on August 29, 2014.
With the exception of the 25,641,884 shares issued in connection with the
acquisition of Strainwise Colorado, all outstanding shares of our common stock
have satisfied the resale requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 144.
The resale of the shares that we are registering for resale could have a
substantial adverse effect on any market for our common stock. See the "Selling
Shareholders" section of this prospectus for more information.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is not restricted
from paying any dividends but is not obligated to declare a dividend. No cash
dividends have ever been declared and it is not anticipated that cash dividends
will ever be paid. We currently intends to retain any future earnings to finance
future growth. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the
discretion of our directors and will depend on our financial condition, results
of operations, capital requirements and other factors the board of directors
considers relevant.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to issue up
to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The provisions in the Articles of
Incorporation relating to the preferred stock allow directors to issue preferred
stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights, which would have
priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of common stock.
The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of
management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to
10
shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder
participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these
transactions are not favored by management.
As of January 30, 2015, and giving effect to the acquisition of Strainwise
Colorado, we had approximately 138 shareholders of record and 26,948,884
outstanding shares of common stock.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of Strainwise included as part of this registration statement.
On August 19, 2014 the Company acquired approximately 90% of the
outstanding shares of Strainwise, Inc., a Colorado corporation, in exchange for
23,124,184 shares of the Company's common stock. On September 12, 20014 the
Company acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Strainwise Colorado in
exchange for 2,517,700 shares of the Company's common stock.
Although, from a legal standpoint, the Company acquired Strainwise on
August 19, 2014, for financial reporting purposes the acquisition of Strainwise
constituted a recapitalization, and the acquisition will be accounted for
similar to a reverse merger, whereby Strainwise was deemed to have acquired the
Company.
Strainwise was incorporated in Colorado as a limited liability company on
June 8, 2012, and converted to a Colorado corporation on January 16, 2014.
However, Strainwise did not begin operations until January 1, 2014, when it
began providing branding and fulfillment services to eight retail stores (seven
of which sell recreational and medical marijuana to the public and one of which
only sells medical marijuana to the public) owned by Shawn Phillips, an officer
and director of the Company, and to six grow facilities operated by Mr. Phillips
(collectively the "Affiliated Entities"). As a result, comparison of
Strainwise's operating results for the year ended January 31, 2014, and the nine
months ended October 31, 2014, would not be meaningful.
As more fully described in the "Business" section of this prospectus, since
January 1, 2014, Strainwise has been providing branding and fulfillments
services to the marijuana retail stores owned by Mr. Phillips, and has been
subleasing space to the grow facilities operated by Mr. Phillips for their
operations. As of January 30, 2015 Strainwise was not providing services to any
other entities.
The following shows the amounts we received for the branding and
fulfillment services provided pursuant to our Master Service Agreements and
subleasing grow facilities for the periods shown, as well as the amounts we
expect to receive during the twelve months ending October 31, 2015 from these
sources. Projected revenue from branding, marketing, accounting and other
services has been calculated in whole based upon the terms our Master Service
Agreements with the Affiliated Entities. Projected revenue from subleasing is
based upon executed agreements with the Affiliated Entities. Projected revenue
does not include any amounts from nutrient sales or lending since, as of the
date of this prospectus, future revenue from these sources cannot be estimated
11
with any degree of certainty. Projected revenues are significantly greater than
actual revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 (annualized for twelve
months) since primarily due to the fact that the 51st Avenue grow facility did
not become operational until August 2014.
Amounts received Projected Revenue

Year Ended Nine months ended Twelve months ending

-------- ---------- ---------
Total $104,378 $3,546,501 $5,688,000
======== ========== ==========
The Company's operating expenses, as a % of revenue, for the year ended
January 31, 2014, were 89%. The Company's operating expenses, as a percentage of
revenue, for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 were 79% and 86%
respectively. The increase in operating expenses vs. revenue during the nine
months ended October 31, 2014 was the result of increased compensation expenses,
increased occupancy costs for new grow facilities, and interest expense.
The Company's estimated capital requirements for the twelve months ending
December 31, 2015 are as follows: (i) approximately $750,000 for lease payments
and operational costs to develop a 65,000 square foot grow facility located in
the metro Denver area, (ii) approximately $300,000 to $500,000 for additional
equipment such as grow lights, electrical upgrades, generators and air
conditioning and (iii) approximately $2,181,500 for payments on our four
operating leases.
When the grow facility is completed, the Company will lease the facility to
affiliated dispensaries.
As of January 30, 2015, the Company's operating expenses, excluding
payments required for its operating leases, were approximately $185,000 per
month.
Between March 15, 2014 and August 19, 2014, Strainwise Colorado sold
2,224,700 units, at a price of $1.00 per unit, to a group of private investors.
Each unit consisted of one share of Strainwise's common stock and one warrant.
Every two warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of Strainwise's
common stock at a price of $5.00 per share at any time prior to January 31,
2019. When the Company acquired the remaining shares of Strainwise pursuant to
the short form merger, the Company exchanged its warrants for the outstanding
Strainwise warrants. The warrants issued by the Company have the same terms as
the Strainwise warrants.
On March 20, 2014 the Company borrowed $850,000 from Randall Taylor, an
unrelated third party. The loan bears interest at 25% per year, payable monthly,
and was scheduled to mature on September 21, 2014. On July 16, 2014, the terms
of the loan were amended such that $200,000 of the loan was converted into
293,000 shares of the Company's common stock and the Company paid the remaining
12
balance of the loan ($325,000), plus accrued interest and a prepayment penalty
of $11,250, on July 27, 2014. The $850,000 loan was used (i) to secure
approximately $217,800 of deposits for the future rental and/or purchase of grow
facilities to lease to growers in the industry, (ii) to acquire approximately
$175,000 of cultivation equipment (iii) to make approximately $63,500 of tenant
improvements to grow facilities under lease, (iv) to pay approximately $373,000
of principal and interest to the note holder, and (v) to pay other miscellaneous
expenses.
On July 26, 2014 the Company purchased a 5,000 square foot commercial
building for $660,000. The building, which is located at 5110 Race Street in
Denver, Colorado, houses a retail marijuana dispensary and a small grow facility
which are owned by Shawn Phillips. The retail dispensary (known as "the
Sanctuary") and grow facility are leased to one of the Affiliated Entities. The
purchase price was paid with cash of $60,000 and a loan of $600,000, which is
payable in varying amounts from $11,000 to $36,000 per month, with a final
payment of $126,000 due on August 1, 2017.
Beginning January 1, 2015, we subleased the Custer facility to an
independent third party for a five year period beginning a
triple-net-lease-basis, with monthly rental payments of $20,000 per month for
the six month period beginning January 1, 2015 $51,200 per month for the six
month period beginning July 1, 2015 and $35,000 per month for the 48 monthperiod
beginning January 1, 2016.
On January 30, 2015, three unrelated third parties collectively loaned the
Company $550,000. The loans bear interest at 25% per year, are unsecured, and
are due and payable on January 31, 2017. Interest-only payments are due each
month, with the first interest payment due on February 15, 2015. At the option
of the lenders, the loans can be converted into shares of the Company's common
stock at the rate of $1.00 per share.
On March 1, 2015 two of the third parties loaned the Company an additional
$500,000. The terms of the new loans are the same as the loans made on January
30, 2015.
Any of the following are an event of default which would cause all amounts
due the lenders to become immediately due and payable:
o the Company fails to make any interest payment when due; or
o the Company breaches any representation, warranty or covenant or
defaults in the timely performance of any other obligation in its
agreements with the lenders.
The loan proceeds were used to pay general and administrative expenses.

=========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ===========
The Company plans to fund its operations and contractual requirements
through fees received for branding and fulfillment services, sales of nutrients,
subleasing grow facilities and the public or private sale of its securities.
The Company will need to raise enough capital to fund its operations until
it is able to earn a profit. The Company does not know what the terms of any
future capital raising may be but any future sales of the Company's equity
securities will dilute the ownership of existing stockholders and could be at
prices below the market price of the Company's common stock. The inability of
the Company to obtain the capital which it requires may result in the failure of
the Company. The Company does not have any commitments from any person to
provide the Company with capital.
Trends
The factors that will most significantly affect the Company's future
operating results, liquidity and capital resources will be:
o Government regulation of the marijuana industry;
o Revision of Federal banking regulations for the marijuana industry;
and
o Legalization of recreational marijuana in states other than Colorado
and Washington.
Other than the foregoing, the Company does not know of any trends, events
or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material
impact on:
o revenues or expenses;
o any material increase or decrease in liquidity; or
o expected sources and uses of cash.
Critical Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements
See Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements included as part of this
registration statement, for a description of the Company's critical accounting
policies and the potential impact of the adoption of any new accounting
pronouncements.

BUSINESS
On August 19, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement to Exchange Securities (the
"Agreement"), we acquired approximately 90% of the outstanding common stock of
Strainwise, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Strainwise Colorado"), in exchange
for 23,124,184 shares of our common stock.
In connection with the acquisition:
o we caused 1,038,000 shares of our outstanding common stock to be
cancelled;
o Shawn Phillips was appointed a director and the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company;
o Erin Phillips was appointed a director and the President, and
Principal Financial and Accounting Officer of the Company;
o David Modica was appointed a director and Manager of Quality Control
and a director of the Company;
o Shane Thueson, Nicholl Doolin and John Winchester, resigned as
officers and directors of the Company; and
o the Company sold its motion picture film business and related assets
to Shane Thueson.
On September 5, 2014 we changed our name to Strainwise, Inc.
On September 12, 2014 we acquired the remaining outstanding shares of
Strainwise Colorado in exchange for the issuance of 2,517,000 shares of our
common stock. In connection with this transaction:
o we issued 1,112,350 Series A warrants to former Strainwise Colorado
shareholders in exchange for a like number of warrants held by the
former Strainwise Colorado shareholders. The Series A warrants we
issued have the same terms as the warrants exchanged by the former
Strainwise Colorado shareholders (exercise price: $5.00 per
share/expiration date: January 31, 2019).
o we issued 500,000 warrants to one non-affiliated person in exchange
for a like number of warrants held by the former Strainwise Colorado
warrant holder. The warrants we issued have the same terms as the
warrants exchanged by the former Strainwise Colorado warrant holder
(exercise price: $0.10 per share/expiration date: January 31, 2019).
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to us include the operations of
Strainwise Colorado.
As a result of the acquisition of Strainwise Colorado, we now provide
services to the regulated marijuana industry.
15
Presently, cannabis production and sales are largely the domain of
"mom-and-pop" operations that are not as large as they could be since marijuana
remains illegal under federal law and banks and credit card companies are
prohibited from processing marijuana business transactions according to
applicable federal rules and regulations. However, working within state
guidelines, entrepreneurs are moving forward with ambitious cannabis business
strategies. Management believes the current group of retail and cannabis
production companies see potential for increased sales and profits, especially
if they can transition these mom-and-pop operations to mid-sized businesses, and
subsequently transition the mid-sized businesses to larger, national brands.
Shawn Phillips, the founder of Strai10.12nwise, owns seven recreational
marijuana retail stores and two medical marijuana stores. Mr. Phillips also
operates several sophisticated and efficient product cultivation ("grow")
facilities, which collectively contain approximately 80,000 square feet of
growing space. The retail marijuana stores and the grow facilities are sometimes
referred to in this prospectus as the "Affiliated Entities". The seven retail
stores have been in operation as medical marijuana, and subsequently, retail
marijuana outlets, for between one and three years.
As a result of the ownership and operation of their own retail marijuana
stores and growing facilities, Shawn Phillips, and his wife Erin, are aware that
the operators of many of the potential client stores need the services we plan
to provide. Such services are presently beyond the reach (both financially and
operationally) for a large majority of retail owners. The mom-and-pop owners do
not have sufficient economies of scale, nor the level of management
sophistication and background to enable them to fully leverage their business
opportunity within the marijuana industry.
Master Service Agreements
Our branding and fulfillment services are provided under Master Service
Agreements and are described below:
o Branding, Marketing, Administrative and Consulting Services: Customers
may contract with us to use the Strainwise name, logo and affinity
images in their retail store locations. A monthly fee permits our
branding customer to use the Strainwise brand at one specific
location. In addition, we will assist operators in marketing and
managing their businesses, setting up new retail locations and general
business planning and execution at an hourly rate. This includes
services to establish an efficient, predictable production process, as
well as, nutrient recipes for consistent and appealing marijuana
strains.
o Accounting and Financial Services: For a monthly fee, we provide our
customers with a fully implemented general ledger system, with an
industry centric chart of accounts, which enables management to
readily monitor and manage all facets of a marijuana medical
dispensary, retail store and grow facility. We provide bookkeeping,
accounts payable processing, cash management, general ledger
processing, financial statement preparation, state and municipal sales
tax filings, and state and federal income tax compilation and filings
on behalf of the Company and the Captive Stores on an ongoing basis.
16
o Compliance Services: The rules, regulations and state laws governing
the production, distribution and retail sale of marijuana can be
complex, many times obtuse, and may prove cumbersome with which to
comply. Thus, customers may contract with us to implement a compliance
process, based upon the number and type of licenses and permits for
their specific business. We provide this service on both an hourly
rate and stipulated monthly fee.
o Nutrient Supplier: We presently are one of the larger, single
purchasers of nutrients and other cultivation supplies for the sole
purpose of growing marijuana. As a result, we are able to make bulk
purchases with price breaks, based upon volume.
o Lending: We plan to provide loans to individuals and businesses in the
cannabis industry. However, Colorado State law does not allow entities
operating under a cannabis license to pledge the assets or the license
of the cannabis operation for any type of general borrowing activity.
Thus, our lending will be on an unsecured basis, with reliance on a
personal guarantee of the borrower. The loans will enable borrowers to
(if desired) purchase buildings for their operations, acquire fixtures
and equipment, and/or fund their working capital needs. We plan to
obtain the capital needed to fund the loans through fees received for
branding and fulfillment services, sales of nutrients, subleasing grow
facilities and the public or private sale of our securities.
o Lease of Grow Facilities and Equipment: We sublease facilities and
grow equipment at our cost, plus a premium of forty percent to persons
in the marijuana industry. We may also enter into sale/lease backs of
grow lights, tenant improvements and other grow equipment.
We presently provide these branding and fulfillment services to the retail
marijuana outlets owned by Shawn Phillips and the grow facilities operated by
Mr. Phillips.
The following shows the monthly fees we receive, and expect in the future
to receive, for providing branding and fulfillment services to the retail
outlets and grow facilities:

As of the date of this prospectus we had not provided any branding and
fulfillment services on an hourly basis. We do not know what our hourly charge
will be for any services we may provide by the hour.
Our Master Service agreements expire on December 31, 2023.
Although we plan to make our services available to independent retail
stores and grow facilities in the regulated marijuana industry throughout the
United States, as of the date of this prospectus we were not providing our
branding and fulfillment services to any other persons or entities and we had
not made any loans to any person.
We do not grow marijuana plants, produce marijuana infused products, sell
marijuana plants and/or sell marijuana infused products of any nature.
Operating Leases/Subleasing
On March 7, 2014, we leased a grow facility containing approximately 26,700
square feet ("Custer Lease") for a term of five years commencing on April 1,
2014. Under the terms of the lease, we paid a security deposit of $29,200. We
will provide all of the tenant improvements that will enable the continuous
cultivation of marijuana plants under approximately 460 grow lights. Effective
January 1, 2015, we subleased the Custer property to an unrelated third party.
Pursuant to the terms of the sublease, the subtenant will pay us monthly rent
according to the following schedule:
Period
Monthly Rent Beginning Ending
$20,000 1-1-15 6-30-15
$51,200 7-1-15 12-31-15
$35,600 1-1-16 3-31-19
18
On April 1, 2014, we leased a grow facility containing approximately 65,000
square feet ("51st Ave Lease") for a term of five years and nine months,
commencing on August 17, 2014. Under the terms of the lease, we are obligated to
pay a security deposit of $150,000, one-third of which was paid upon the
execution of the lease, the second third of which is due and payable after the
first harvest or by October 1, 2014, and the final third of which is due and
payable after the second harvest or by December 1, 2014. The entity which is
leasing this facility us will provide all of the tenant improvements that will
enable the continuous cultivation of marijuana plants under 1,680 grow lights.
On April 22, 2014, we leased a grow facility containing approximately
38,000 square feet ("Nome Lease") for a term of seven years, commencing on April
22, 2014. Under the terms of the lease, we paid a security deposit of $133,679.
Although we will provide all of the tenant improvements that will enable the
continuous cultivation of marijuana plants under 800 grow lights, the entity
which is leasing this facility to us agreed to provide financing for up to
$750,000 of tenant improvements at an interest rate of 25%, payable monthly over
60 months. As of October 1, 2014, the $750,000 of tenant improvements had been
completed at the facility and we began paying monthly installments of $22,013 at
that time. On December 1, 2014, the lease was extended to April 30, 2015 and the
lease payments were modified. The amendment to the lease included the
cancellation of the $750,000 note payable to the lessor for the financing of
tenant improvement, and the extension of an additional $800,000 to be used by us
for future tenant improvements. The full amount of $1,550,000 of tenant
improvement financing to be provided by the lessor will be amortized over the
term of the amended lease as a component of the monthly lease payments.
On November 11, 2014, we leased a retail location consisting of
approximately 3,000 square feet ("Federal Heights Lease") for a term of five
years and one month, with two five year renewal options. The lease, which
commenced on November 11, 2014, requires us to pay rent of $5,704 each month. We
will provide all of the tenant improvements required to convert the space to a
marijuana dispensary.
On June 10, 2014, we leased a grow facility containing approximately
113,000 square feet ("32nd Ave Lease") for a term of five years and nine months,
commencing on July 1, 2014. Under the terms of the lease, we paid a security
deposit of $250,000, $150,000 of which was paid upon the execution of the lease,
and $100,000 of which will be paid when a certificate of occupancy is issued
(expected in early 2015). The person which is leasing this facility us will
provide all of the tenant improvements that will enable the continuous
cultivation of marijuana plants under 1,936 grow lights.
On September 11, 2014, we leased a grow facility containing approximately
20,000 square feet ("Bryant Street Lease") for a term of ten years. We will
provide all of the tenant improvements that will enable the continuous
cultivation of marijuana plants under 370 grow lights.
With the exception of the Bryant Street property, there are no options to
purchase the properties underlying these leases. During the term of the Bryant
Street, lease we have the option to purchase the property subject to the lease
for $2,400,000.

None of the persons leasing these facilities to us are affiliated with us
in any way.
With the exception of the Custer property, we sublease the grow facilities
described above to the Affiliated Entities for their grow operations. Our
subleases with the Affiliated Entities expire on the same date as our leases
with the owners of these properties. We charge the Affiliated Entities 140% of
the amount we pay the lessors of these properties. We believe the terms of our
subleases are comparable to those which we could have obtained from unrelated
third parties. As explained above, effective January 1, 2015 we subleased the
Custer property to an unrelated third party. As of the date of this prospectus
the Federal Heights dispensary has not been subleased to one of the Affiliated
Entities.

Acquisition of Race Street Property
On July 26, 2014 we purchased a 5,000 square foot commercial building for
$660,000. The building, which is located at 5110 Race Street in Denver,
Colorado, houses a retail marijuana dispensary and a small grow facility which
are owned by Shawn Phillips. The retail dispensary (known as "the Sanctuary")
and grow facility are leased to one of the Affiliated Entities at a rate of
$8,400 per month. The purchase price was paid with cash of $60,000 and a loan of
$600,000, which is payable in varying amounts from $11,000 to $36,000 per month,
with a final payment of $126,000 due on August 1, 2017. The loan is secured by
the building we purchased.
20
Market Conditions
In January 2014, the market was expanded in Colorado to allow adult use,
including adult visitors from other states, of marijuana for recreational
purposes. Voters in Washington State recently approved a ballot measure to
legalize cannabis for adult use. Many predict that other states will follow
Colorado and Washington in enacting legislation or approving ballot measures
that expand the permitted use of cannabis.
While projections vary widely, many believe that, as a result of the
legalization of recreational marijuana in 2014, the Colorado medical and
recreational market combined will reach $619,000,000 in 2014.
According to an April 11, 2014 article in the Huffington Post, one study of
the marijuana industry predicts that by 2018 retail marijuana sales could be
$7.4 to $8.2 billion.
Government Regulation
Marijuana is a Schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal
law. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its
use remains a violation of federal law.
A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no
currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use
under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The Department of
Justice defines Schedule 1 controlled substances as "the most dangerous drugs of
all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical
dependence." If the federal government decides to enforce the Controlled
Substances Act in Colorado with respect to marijuana, persons that are charged
with distributing, possessing with intent to distribute, or growing marijuana
could be subject to fines and terms of imprisonment, the maximum being life
imprisonment and a $50 million fine.
As of August 31, 2014, 20 states and the District of Columbia allow their
citizens to use Medical Marijuana. Additionally, voters in the states of
Colorado and Washington approved ballot measures last November to legalize
cannabis for adult use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal
Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a
national level. The Obama administration has effectively stated that it is not
an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to
prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and
distribution of medical marijuana. However, there is no guarantee that the
administration will not change its stated policy regarding the low-priority
enforcement of such federal laws. Additionally, any new administration that
follows could change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws
strongly. Any such change in the federal government's enforcement of such
current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to the Company and
its shareholders. While the Company does not intend to harvest, distribute or
sell cannabis, the Company may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement
by the federal or state governments or the enactment of new and more restrictive
laws.

General
Our offices are located at 1350 Independence Street, Suite 300, Lakewood,
CO 80215. We lease our offices from an entity controlled by Erin Phillips, our
President and one of our directors. The lease is for a 31 month period,
commencing in January 2014 for 6,176 square feet at an annual rate of $64,848
for the first 12 months, $67,936 for the subsequent 12 months and $41,431 for
the subsequent seven months, payable monthly, through October 31, 2016. Our
lease is on the same terms and conditions as is the lease between the entity
controlled by Ms. Phillips and the owner of the property, who is not affiliated
with us. Consequently, we believe that the terms of our lease are comparable to
terms we would receive directly from unrelated third parties.
As of January 30, 2015, we had 10 full time employees and one part time
employee.
MANAGEMENT
Name Age Position
---- --- --------
Shawn Phillips 42 Chief Executive Officer and a Director
Erin Phillips 37 President, Chief Financial and Accounting
Officer and a Director
David Modica 37 Manager of Quality Control and a Director
The following is a brief summary of the background of each officer and
director including their principal occupation during the five preceding years.
All directors will serve until their successors are elected and qualified or
until they are removed.
Shawn Phillips is one of the early pioneers in the marijuana industry in
Colorado and is one of the founders of Strainwise. Currently, Shawn owns and
holds all of the licenses issued by the State of Colorado for the eight
marijuana stores (the "Captive Stores"). In concert with his spouse, Erin
Phillips, he has been instrumental in the management of the operations of these
stores since the date they were either purchased as an existing retail store or
initially opened for medical marijuana sales beginning in 2010. In addition,
Shawn oversees the growing facilities which supply the various strains of
product to the Captive Stores and other retail operations in Colorado. Prior to
2010 Mr. Phillips was the owner/operator of RLO Realty, a residential and
commercial real estate firm (2008-2010), an account executive with Stewart Title
Company (2007-2008) and the owner/operator of Legacy Funding, a residential
mortgage company (2001-2007). Mr. Phillips holds a B.S in Accounting from
Colorado State University, and using his accounting education and experience,
his established reliable point-of-sale accounting procedures and financial
controls for these stores and the multiple production facilities. Mr. Phillips
filed a personal bankruptcy petition in September 2009 and received a discharge
in January 2010.
Erin Phillips has over 17 years of operational and management experience.
Erin is one of the early pioneers in the marijuana industry in Colorado and is
one of the founders of Strainwise. In concert with her spouse, Shawn Phillips,
22
she has been instrumental in the management of the operations of the eight
Captive Stores since the date they were either purchased as an existing retail
store, or initially opened for medical marijuana sales beginning in 2010. Erin
is responsible for managing the marketing, advertising and promotions at the
Captive Stores, and is responsible for establishing and expanding the brand
recognition of the Strainwise name and logo throughout the Company's target
markets. Prior to establishing Strainwise, Erin spent 13 years in the mortgage
industry as a business owner, audit and funding supervisor, title company
closer, mortgage loan processer, and loan originator.
David Modica has been the Quality Control Manager and a director of
Strainwise since 2013. In this capacity, he works with the managers of the
cultivation and grow facilities owned by Shawn Phillips to maintain the quality
of the proprietary strains and marijuana products grown in these facilities.
Upon initially joining Strainwise, he was tasked with converting the
point-of-sale systems used by the Captive Stores to a more advanced system which
can better track all categories of inventory. Prior to joining Strainwise, he
was the owner and operator of a residential rental company (2005 to 2013), a web
developer for Design Factory International (2003 to 2005), and a web
developer/designer for Eastridge Technology (2001 to 2003). Mr. Modica obtained
his B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2000, with a
degree in Journalism and Mass Communications.
The specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to
the conclusion that each named person should serve as a director are listed
below:
Shawn Phillips - experience in marijuana industry
Erin Phillips - experience in marijuana industry
David Modica - experience in marijuana industry and in point-of-sale
technology
Shawn Phillips, Erin Phillips and David Modica are not independent as that
term is defined in Section 803 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide.
As explained in the "Business" section of this prospectus, substantially
all of our revenue is derived pursuant to Master Service Agreements we have with
entities controlled by Shawn Phillips, one of our officers and directors.
We do not have a financial expert as that term is defined by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Our Board of Directors does not have standing audit, nominating or
compensation committees, committees performing similar functions, or charters
for such committees. Instead, the functions that might be delegated to such
committees are carried out by our Board of Directors, to the extent required.
Our Board of Directors believes that the cost of associated with such
committees, has not been justified under our current circumstances.
Given our lack of operations to date, our Board of Directors believes that
its current members have sufficient knowledge and experience to fulfill the
duties and obligations of an audit committee. None of the current Board members
is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of the rules and
23
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board has determined
that each of its members is able to read and understand fundamental financial
statements and has substantial business experience that results in that member's
financial sophistication.
Our Board of Directors does not currently have a policy for the
qualification, identification, evaluation, or consideration of board candidates
and does not think that such a policy is necessary at this time, because it
believes that, given the limited scope of our operations, a specific nominating
policy would be premature and of little assistance until our operations are at a
more advanced level. Currently the entire Board decides on nominees.
Our Board of Directors does not have any defined policy or procedural
requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for
directors. We do not have any restrictions on shareholder nominations under its
articles of incorporation or bylaws. The only restrictions are those applicable
generally under Utah law and the federal proxy rules. The Board will consider
suggestions from individual shareholders, subject to an evaluation of the
person's merits. Shareholders may communicate nominee suggestions directly to
the Board, accompanied by biographical details and a statement of support for
the nominees. The suggested nominee must also provide a statement of consent to
being considered for nomination. There are no formal criteria for nominees.
Our Board of Directors does not have a "leadership structure" since each
board member is free to introduce any resolution at any meeting of our directors
and is entitled to one vote at any meeting.
Holders of our common stock may send written communications to our entire
board of directors, or to one or more board members, by addressing the
communication to "the Board of Directors" or to one or more directors,

Non-Compete Agreements
Both Shawn and Erin Phillips have entered into non-compete agreements
wherein they agreed that during their employment and for a period of five (5)
years after termination of their relationship with Strainwise, without the
express written consent of Strainwise, they shall not, directly or indirectly
(i) employ, solicit for employment, or recommend for employment any person
employed by the Company; (ii) contact or solicit any person or business which
was a client of the Company at any time within twelve (12) months before the
termination of the employment with Strainwise in connection with any matters
similar in nature or related to any business conducted between or contemplated
by the Company and such client at any time during their employment with
Strainwise; (iii) engage in any present or contemplated business activity that
is or may be competitive with the Company (or any part thereof) in the State of
Colorado or any other state of the United States of America where the Company
(or any part thereof) conducts its business. For purposes of their non-compete
agreements, Shawn and Erin Phillips agreed that to engage in a business in
competition with the business of the Company, or a "competitive business" shall
mean: (i) to be employed by, (ii) own an interest in, (iii) be a consultant to,
(iv) be a partner in (v) or otherwise participate in any business or venture
which offers or sells to businesses or persons, cannabis related products or
services which are the same as or similar to those which are, at the then
applicable time, being offered and sold by the Company (or any part thereof).
Non-Disclosure Agreements
Both Shawn and Erin Phillips have entered into non-disclosure agreements
wherein they agreed not, directly or indirectly, to use, make available, sell,
disclose or otherwise communicate to any third party, other than in their
assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, any of the confidential
information of Strainwise, either during or after their relationship with
Strainwise. They agreed not to publish, disclose or otherwise disseminate such
information without prior written approval of an executive officer (other than
themselves) of Strainwise. They acknowledged that they are aware that the
unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information of Strainwise may be highly
prejudicial to its interests, an invasion of privacy, and an improper disclosure
of trade secrets.
Proprietary and confidential information shall include, but not be limited
to:
1) methods, processes and/or technologies for the growing, cultivation
and production of cannabis and marijuana plants and products;
2) cannabis business processes, procedures and strategies;
3) retail and medical cannabis store operations;
4) cannabis branding and fulfillment services;
5) forecasts, unpublished financial information, budgets, projections,
customer lists, and client identities, characteristics and agreements;
6) software, processes, trade secrets, computer programs, electronic
codes, inventions, innovations, discoveries, improvements, data,
know-how, and formats;
7) business, marketing, and strategic plans;
26
8) information about costs, profits, markets, sales, contracts and lists
of clients and referral sources;
9) employee personnel files and compensation information;
10) customer lists and names of customer contact personnel; and
11) customer terms, information, payments and data.
Exchange Option and Mandatory Exchange
Shawn and Erin Phillips have granted an option to the Company that entitles
the Company to acquire the eight marijuana stores (the "Captive Stores") now
owned and that may become owned by Mr. or Mrs. Phillips in the future ("Exchange
Option"). The Exchange Option may be exercised by the Company anytime within a
six month period from the date that laws or regulations permit the Company to
own all or a part of the Captive Stores.
Upon the exercise of the Exchange Option, the Phillips will be obligated to
exchange the Captive Stores (or such percentage interest in the Captive Store
that the Company can legally acquire) for shares of the Company's common stock
(the "Exchange Shares").
The number of the Exchange Shares to be issued to the Phillips will be
determined by the following formula:
5 x A x B
---------
C
Where:
A = the combined EBITDA of the Captive Stores for the immediately
preceding twelve (12) month period from the date the Exchange Option is
exercised.
B = The percentage in the Captive Stores that can be acquired by the
Company.
C = the average closing price on the Pink Sheets, OTC Bulletin Board,
NASDAQ, or NYSE/MKT for the ninety (90) days preceding the date the
Exchange Option is exercised;
Combined EBITDA will be determined using generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied.
Notwithstanding the above, the number of Exchange Shares will be reduced,
if necessary, such that, following the issuance of the Exchange Shares, the
total number of shares of the Company's common stock owned by the Phillips,
together with any shares issuable upon the exercise of any option or warrants
held by the Phillips, or any shares issuable upon the conversion of any
securities owned by the Phillips, will not exceed 85% of the Company's
outstanding shares of common stock.
Any advances to the Phillips and/or accounts receivable from the Phillips,
or any distributions to them in excess of the capital account of any Captive
Store at the time of the completion of the exchange, will (i) be personally
27
guaranteed by both Shawn and Erin Phillips, (ii) will be payable 36 months from
the date of the completion of the exchange, and (iii) will bear interest, to be
adjusted monthly, at the LIBOR rate plus 3%.
If the Exchange Option is exercised, the following is an example of the
number of Exchange Shares to be issued to the Phillips, assuming the Company can
legally acquire a 50% interest in the Captive Stores:
o Combined EBITDA for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period
- $80,000,000;
o Fifty percent of the combined EBITDA - $80,000,000 X 50% =
$40,000,000;
o Combined EBITDA multiplied by 5 times - 40,000,000 X 5 = 200,000,000;
o Average market price for the preceding ninety (90) day period - $20;
and
o Number of Exchange Shares to be issues to Phillips - 10,000,000
In the event the Captive Stores are not owned equally by Erin and Shawn
Phillips:
o the Exchange Shares to be issued to Erin Phillips will be based upon
the percentage of the combined EBITDA of the Captive Stores owed by
Erin Phillips; and
o the Exchange Shares to be issued to Shawn Phillips will be based upon
the percentage of the combined EBITDA of the Captive Stores owed by
Shawn Phillips.
The Exchange Shares will be "restricted shares", as that term is defined in
Rule 144 of the Securities Exchange Commission. At the option of the holder of
the Exchange Shares, the Exchange Shares will be included in the first
registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission following the exercise of the Exchange Option, excluding any
registration statement on Form S-4, S-8, or any other inapplicable form (the
"piggy-back" registration rights). Notwithstanding the above, the underwriter of
any public offering conducted by the Company may limit the Exchange Shares which
may be sold due to market conditions.
No shareholder of the Company will be granted piggyback registration rights
superior to those of the Exchange Shares. The Company will pay all registration
expenses (exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions and special
counsel to the Phillips). The registration rights may be transferred provided
that the Company (i) is given prior written notice; (ii) the transfer is in
connection with a transfer of not less than 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock; and (iii) the transfer is to no more than three persons.

In January, 2014 Strainwise Colorado issued warrants to an unaffiliated
person for services rendered. The warrants allowed the holder to purchase up to
500,000 shares of Strainwise Colorado's common stock at a price of $0.10 per
share at any time prior to January 31, 2019. When we acquired the remaining
shares of Strainwise on September 12, 2014, we exchanged warrants for the
previously issued Strainwise warrants. The warrants we issued have the same
terms as the Strainwise warrants. The person named below is the holder of these
warrants.

No selling shareholder has, or had, any material relationship with us, or
our officers or directors. No selling shareholder is, to our knowledge,
affiliated with a securities broker.
The shares of common stock owned by the selling shareholders may be offered
and sold by means of this prospectus from time to time as market conditions
permit, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices and terms then
prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in
negotiated transactions.
The shares of common stock may be sold by one or more of the following
methods, without limitation:
o a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker
or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers; and
o face-to-face transactions between sellers and purchasers without a
broker/dealer.
In competing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders
may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be
negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in
excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the selling stockholders can
presently estimate the amount of such compensation. Notwithstanding the above,
no FINRA member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds
from the sale.
32
The selling shareholders and any broker/dealers who act in connection with
the sale of their securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of ss.2(11) of the Securities Acts of 1933, and any commissions received
by them and any profit on any resale of the securities as principal might be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
If any selling shareholder enters into an agreement to sell his or her
securities to a broker-dealer as principal, and the broker-dealer is acting as
an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration
statement, of which this prospectus is a part, identifying the broker-dealer,
providing required information concerning the plan of distribution, and
otherwise revising the disclosures in this prospectus as needed. We will also
file the agreement between the selling shareholder and the broker-dealer as an
exhibit to the post-effective amendment to the registration statement.
The selling stockholders may also sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933.
We have advised the selling shareholders that they, and any securities
broker/dealers or others who sell the common stock or warrants on behalf of the
selling shareholders, may be deemed to be statutory underwriters and will be
subject to the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act of
1933. We have also advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a
"distribution" of the securities owned by the selling shareholder, the selling
shareholder, any "affiliated purchasers", and any broker/dealer or other person
who participates in the distribution may be subject to Rule 102 of Regulation M
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") until their participation
in that distribution is completed. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who
is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase securities of the same
class as is the subject of the distribution. A "distribution" is defined in Rule
102 as an offering of securities "that is distinguished from ordinary trading
transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special
selling efforts and selling methods". We have also advised the selling
shareholders that Rule 101 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act prohibits any
"stabilizing bid" or "stabilizing purchase" for the purpose of pegging, fixing
or stabilizing the price of the common stock in connection with this offering.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock. Holders of
common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on
all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; hence,
the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock can elect
all directors.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be
declared by the Board out of funds legally available and, in the event of
liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment
of liabilities. Our directors are not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not
anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
33
Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to any
additional shares which may be issued in the future. There are no conversion,
redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. All
outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Shares of
preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be
determined by the Board of Directors. The voting powers and preferences, the
relative rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions of each series will be established by the Board of Directors. Our
directors may issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend
rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the
holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with these rights
may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be
considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of
limiting shareholder participation in transactions such as mergers or tender
offers if these transactions are not favored by management. As of the date of
this prospectus we had not issued any shares of preferred stock.
Warrants
On September 12, 2014, we acquired the remaining outstanding shares of
Strainwise Colorado in exchange for the issuance of 2,517,000 shares of our
common stock. In connection with this transaction:
o we issued 1,112,350 Series A warrants to former Strainwise Colorado
shareholders in exchange for a like number of warrants held by the
former Strainwise Colorado shareholders. Each Series A warrant allows
the holder to purchase one share of our common stock. The Series A
warrants we issued have the same terms as the warrants exchanged by
the former Strainwise Colorado shareholders (exercise price: $5.00 per
share/expiration date: January 31, 2019);
o we issued 500,000 warrants to one non-affiliated person in exchange
for a like number of warrants held by the former Strainwise Colorado
warrant holder. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share
of our common stock. The warrants we issued have the same terms as the
warrants exchanged by the former Strainwise Colorado warrant holder
(exercise price: $0.10 per share/expiration date: January 31, 2019).

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not involved in any legal proceedings and we do not know of any
legal proceedings which are threatened or contemplated.
INDEMNIFICATION
Our Bylaws authorize indemnification of a director, officer, employee or
agent against expenses incurred by him in connection with any action, suit, or
proceeding to which he is named a party by reason of his having acted or served
in such capacity, except for liabilities arising from his own misconduct or
negligence in performance of his duty. In addition, even a director, officer,
employee, or agent found liable for misconduct or negligence in the performance
of his duty may obtain such indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances
in the case, a court of competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our
directors, officers, or controlling persons pursuant to these provisions, we
have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is therefore unenforceable.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (together with all amendments and exhibits) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Securities offered by
this prospectus. This prospectus does not contain all of the information set
forth in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are omitted in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. For further information, reference is made to the Registration
Statement which may be read and copied at the Commission's Public Reference
Room.
We are subject to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934 and are required to file reports and other information with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Copies of any such reports and other information filed
by us can also be read and copied at the Commission's Public Reference Room.
The Public Reference Room is located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington,
D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public
Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an

then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Strainwise, Inc., as of January 31,
2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America.
The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

STRAINWISE, INC.
NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:
Following is a summary of our organization and significant accounting policies:
Organization and nature of business - STRAINWISE, INC. (identified in these
footnotes as "we" "us" or the "Company") provides branding and fulfillment
services to entities in the cannabis retail and production industry. The Company
was incorporated in the state of Colorado as a limited liability company on June
8, 2012, and subsequently converted to a Colorado corporation on January 16,
2014.
The Company provides sophisticated fulfillment and branding services and
solutions to (i) six grow facilities and eight retail stores (seven of which
sell recreational and medical marijuana to the public and one of which only
sells medical marijuana to the public) owned by an officer and director of the
Company ("Affiliated Entities"), and (ii) makes such services available to
independent retail stores and grow facilities in the regulated cannabis industry
throughout the United States.
The branding and fulfillment services that we currently provide are summarized,
as follows:
o Branding, Marketing and Administrative Consulting Services: Customers
may contract with us to use the Strainwise name, logo and affinity
images in their retail store locations. A monthly fee permits our
branding customer to use the Strainwise brand at one specific
location. In addition, we will assist operators in marketing and
managing their businesses, setting up new retail locations and general
business planning and execution at an hourly rate. This includes
services to establish an efficient, predictable production process, as
well as, nutrient recipes for consistent and appealing marijuana
strains.
o Accounting and Financial Services: For a monthly fee, we provide our
customers with a fully implemented general ledger system, with an
industry centric chart of accounts, which enables management to
readily monitor and manage all facets of a marijuana medical
dispensary, retail store and grow facility. We provide bookkeeping,
accounts payable processing, cash management, general ledger
processing, financial statement preparation, state and municipal sales
tax filings, and state and federal income tax compilation and filings
on behalf of the Company and the Captive Stores on an ongoing basis.
o Compliance Services: The rules, regulations and state laws governing
the production, distribution and retail sale of marijuana can be
complex, and may prove cumbersome with which to comply. Thus,
customers may contract with us to implement a compliance process,
based upon the number and type of licenses and permits for their
specific business. We provide this service on both an hourly rate and
stipulated monthly fee.
o Nutrient Supplier: The Company presently is a bulk purchaser of
nutrients and other cultivation supplies for the sole purpose of
growing marijuana. As a result, we are able to make bulk purchases
with price breaks, based upon volume. We serve as a sole source
nutrient purchasing agent and distributor with pricing based upon our
bulk purchasing power.
o Lending: We will provide loans to individuals and businesses in the
cannabis industry. However, Colorado State law does not allow entities
operating under a cannabis license to pledge the assets or the license
of the cannabis operation for any type of general borrowing activity.
Thus, our lending will be on an unsecured basis, with reliance on a
personal guarantee of the borrower.
o Lease of Grow Facilities and Equipment: We lease grow equipment and
facilities on a turn-key basis to customers in the cannabis industry.
We will also enter into sale lease backs of grow lights, tenant
improvements and other grow equipment. o
42
We do not directly grow marijuana plants, produce marijuana infused products,
sell marijuana plants and or sell marijuana infused products of any nature.
Share exchange - As more fully described in Note 9 herein, on August 19, 2014,
we entered into an Agreement to Exchange Securities ("Share Agreement") with 4th
Grade Films, Inc. ("FHGR"), pursuant to which FHGR acquired approximately 90 %
of the outstanding shares of Strainwise in exchange for 23,124,184 shares of
FHGR's common stock. FHGR is a publicly-traded company, incorporated in Utah,
with its common stock currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. It is
contemplated that the Exchange will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
As part of the Share Exchange, we paid $134,700 of FHGR's liabilities and
purchased 1,038,000 shares of FHGR's common stock for $120,300 from two
shareholders of FHGR. The 1,038,000 shares were returned to treasury and
cancelled. FHGR also agreed to sell its rights to a motion picture, together
with all related domestic and international distribution agreements, and all
pre-production and other rights to the film, to a former officer and director of
FHGR in consideration for the assumption by a shareholder of FHGR of all
liabilities of FHGR (net of the $134,700 we paid) which were outstanding
immediately prior to the closing of the transaction.
The business combination will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition and
recapitalization, using accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions
whereby the financial statements subsequent to the date of the transaction will
be presented as a continuation of the Company. Under reverse acquisition
accounting, the Company (subsidiary) is treated as the accounting parent
(acquirer) and FHGR (parent) is treated as the accounting Subsidiary (acquiree).
Following the Share Exchange, FHGR has 24,431,184 outstanding shares of common
stock, with the current shareholders of FHGR owning 1,307,000 of the
post-closing shares.
Basis of presentation - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company
conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we
consider all cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with
a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
Prepaid expenses - The amount of prepaid expenses as of January 31, 2014 and
January 31, 2013 is $10,000 and $0, respectively. Prepaid expenses at January
31, 2014 is comprised of a retainer paid to our legal counsel.
Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments - The
carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value because
of the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective
in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and,
therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect these estimates. We do not hold or issue financial
instruments for trading purposes, nor do we utilize derivative instruments in
the management of our foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market
risks.
The FASB Codification clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing
the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also
requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and
liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities
must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities
and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data,
which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
43
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is
based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
Office equipment - Office equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated under
straight line methods over each item's estimated useful life. We review our
office equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.
Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to operations.
Major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition
of office equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from
the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Office equipment, net of accumulated amortization and depreciation are comprised
of the following:
January 31, January 31,

------------ -----------
Office equipment:
Office furniture and fixtures $10,500 $ -
Accumulated amortization and depreciation - -
------------ ----------
$ 10,500 $ -
============ ==========
There was no depreciation charged to operations for the year ended January 2014
and 2013 in that the office equipment was not placed into service until the last
few days of January 2014.
Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under
ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss
carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of
changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews
the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence
of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest
impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an
impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a
long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Trademarks - Trademarks are stated at cost and are amortized using the
straight-line method over fifteen years. Accumulated amortization was $100 and
$0 at January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following at January
31, 2014:
Gross
Carrying Accumulated
Amount Amortization Net
----------- ------------- ----
Trademarks $ 11,010 $ 61 $ 10,949
======== ====== ========
Deferred Rent - The Company recognizes rent expense from operating leases on the
straight-line basis. Differences between the expense recognized and actual
payments are recorded as deferred rent.
Revenue recognition - Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under
contract terms. Revenues from affiliated entities is recognized as follows:
o Branding, Marketing and Administrative Services Revenue: Under the
terms of a ten year master service agreement, we allow an affiliated
entity to use the Strainwise brand for both retail and marketing
purposes at one location, plus we provide administrative services to
assist the employees of the affiliated entity to operate the business
of that related location. We charge the affiliated entity a monthly
fee of approximately $4,500 for the branding, marketing and
administrative services. Since we (i) are the primary obligor, (ii)
determine the price, (iii) perform the service, (iv) have the credit
risk, and (v) there are no additional milestones that need to be met
other than actually providing the services, in accordance with ASC
605-45-45, the revenue is recognized on monthly basis in accordance
with the terms of the applicable master service agreement.
44
o Accounting and Financial Services Revenue: Under the terms of a ten
year master service agreement, we have agreed to provide our
affiliated entities with a fully implemented general ledger system,
coupled with an industry centric chart of accounts, which enables
management to readily monitor and manage all accounting and financial
facets of a marijuana medical dispensary, retail store and/or grow
facility. Under the terms of the master service agreement we have also
agreed to provide bookkeeping, accounts payable processing, cash
management, general ledger processing, financial statement
preparation, state and municipal sales tax filings, and state and
federal income tax compilation and filings. Under the terms of the
master service agreement, we provide the above described accounting
and financial services for a monthly fee of $3,000. Since we (i) are
the primary obligor, (ii) determine the price, (iii) perform the
services, (iv) have the credit risk, and (v) there are no additional
milestones that need to be met other than actually providing the above
described services, in accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the revenue is
recognized on monthly basis in accordance with the terms of the
applicable master service agreement.
o Compliance Services Revenue : Under the terms of a ten year master
service agreement, we provide the affiliated entities with a
compliance process that includes the preparation and filing of state,
city and municipal applications and renewals of licenses in accordance
with the rules, regulations and state laws governing the production,
distribution and retail sale of marijuana. We provide this service to
our affiliate entities under the terms of a master service agreement
for a monthly fee of $2,500. Since we (i) are the primary obligor,
(ii) determine the price, (iii) perform the services, (iv) have the
credit risk, and (v) there are no additional milestones that need to
be met other than actually providing the above described services, in
accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the revenue is recognized on monthly
basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable master service
agreement.
o Nutrient Sales: Under the terms of a ten year master service
agreement, we serve as a sole source nutrient purchasing agent and
distributor for our affiliated entities, with pricing based upon our
bulk purchasing power. We charge the affiliated entities for nutrients
supplied to them at the cost of the nutrients, plus a premium of
ninety percent. Since there are no additional milestones that need to
be met other than actually buying and delivering the above nutrients
to the affiliated entity, in accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the
revenue is recognized in the month in which the nutrient is actually
delivered to the related entity.
o Grow Facilities Revenue: Under the terms of a ten year master service
agreement, we lease grow facilities and equipment for a period equal
to the term of the underlying lease with an independent, third party
lessor in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the monthly lease payment,
(ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating expenses paid to the lessor
each month, (iii) plus the amount of monthly amortization of tenant
improvements, and (iv) plus a premium of forty percent. Since there
are no additional milestones that need to be met other than actually
leasing the facilities and equipment to the respective affiliated
entity, in accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the revenue is recognized in
the month in which the lease payments are made to us by the lessee.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in
stockholders' equity (deficit), exclusive of transactions with owners, such as
capital investments. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes
in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as
translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized
gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. From our Inception there have
been no differences between our comprehensive loss and net loss.
Net income per share of common stock - We have adopted applicable FASB
Codification regarding Earnings per Share, which require presentation of basic
and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic
earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Note 2 - Going concern:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. For the period ended January 31, 2014,
the Company has had limited operations. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has
45
not become profitable. In view of these matters, the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to begin
operations and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends to
continue financing its future development activities and its working capital
needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional
funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until
such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working
capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Related Party Transactions:
Substantially all of our revenues to date have been derived from Master Service
Agreements with eight retail marijuana stores and four cultivation and growing
facility that are majority owned by our Chief Executive Officer, who is also the
husband or our majority shareholder and our President. Pursuant to the terms of
these Master Service Agreements, the marijuana stores and grow facility pay us
monthly fees for branding, marketing, administration, accounting and compliance
services. We also supply nutrients to the six grow facilities at a 90% mark-up
to our cost for the nutrients.
Related party revenue was $104,378 and $0.00, respectively, for the years ended
January 31, 2014 and 2013. As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, we had accounts
receivable from affiliated entities of $70,000 and $0, respectively. As of
January 31, 2013 and 2014, we had accounts payable to affiliated entities of
$120,203 and $0, respectively.
Although our agreements with the marijuana outlets and grow facility expire on
December 31, 2023, all terms and contracts related to this revenue are
determined by related parties and these terms can change at any time.
Note 4 - Operating Leases:
The Company rents office space for its corporate needs from an affiliated
Company. The affiliate entered into a 31 month lease agreement in January 1,
2014 to lease 6,176 square feet for an annual rate of $64,848 for the first
twelve months, and $67,936 for the subsequent 12 months, and $41,431 for the
subsequent 7 months paid monthly, through October 31, 2016. This lease to the
Company is on the same terms and conditions as is the direct lease between the
affiliate and the independent lessor. Consequently, we believe that the lease
terms to the Company are comparable to lease terms we would receive directly
from third party lessors in our market, because the related party terms mirror
the terms of the direct lease between the independent, third party lessor and
the affiliated entity. See Note 9 for a full explanation of operating leases
that went into effect after the balance sheet date, but before issuance.
Note 5 - Issuance of shares:
The Company was originally organized as a limited liability company on June 8,
2012 with $100 of membership equity. On January 16, 2014, the Company converted
to a corporation and issued a total of 20,430,000 shares in exchange for the one
hundred percent of the membership interests owned by the majority shareholder
and President of the Company. As of January 31, 2014 there were a total of
20,430,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Note 6 - Income Taxes:
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the accounting bases and the tax
bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and
liabilities are computed using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, "Income Taxes" on April 1, 2007.
FASB ASC 740 provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition,
measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the
financial statements. Tax positions must meet a "more-likely-than-not"
recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption
of FASB ASC 740 and in subsequent periods.
46
The components of the income tax provision are as follows:
Year Ended January 31,
2014 2013

Income tax expense (benefit):

Federal $ (11,742) $ -

========= =======
Note 7 - New accounting pronouncements:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") periodically issues new
accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial
accounting and reporting. The Company has reviewed the recently issued
pronouncements. During this review the Company decided to early adopt ASU
2014-10 which eliminates the definition of a development stage entity,
eliminates the development stage presentation and disclosure requirements under
ASC 915, and amends provisions of existing variable interest entity guidance
under ASC 810.
Note 8 - Equity:
Approved Warrants - In January 2014, the Company issued stock-based compensation
to a consultant in the form of warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, at a price of $0.10 per share, at any time prior to
January 31, 2019. The Board of Directors determined the exercise price and terms
of the warrant.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the warrant fair
values. This option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the
most significant are, expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting
forfeiture rate and the expected warrant term (the amount of time from the grant
date until the warrants are exercised or expire). Expected volatility was
estimated utilizing a weighted average of comparable published volatilities
based on industry comparables. Expected pre-vesting forfeitures were based upon
management's best estimates. The expected warrant term was based on the term of
the warrant. The fair value of the warrants granted during the year ended
January 31, 2014 was estimated, as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected volatility 187%
Risk-free interest rate .25%
Expected dividends -
Expected terms (in years) 5
Share price at date of issuance $0.10
The warrants outstanding and activity as of and for the year ended January 31,
2014:

--------- -------- -------
Exercisable at January 31, 2015 500,000 $ 0.10 5
--------- -------- -------
The weighted average fair value of warrants granted at January 31, 2014 was
$0.10. The exercise price of the warrants granted at January 31, 2014 equaled
the estimated fair market value of the stock at the time of grant which was
$0.10. No warrants were exercised during the current fiscal year. Accordingly,
the Company did not realize any tax deductions related to the intrinsic value of
exercised warrants.
47
In accordance with EITF 96-18 ' Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are
Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling,
Goods or Services', the total amount of share-based compensation expense
recorded at January 31, 2014 of $48,192 will be fully recorded in the current
year since no future services are required for the consultant to exercise the
warrants.
Note 9 - Subsequent events:
Share Exchange - On August 19, 2014, we entered into an Agreement to Exchange
Securities ("Share Exchange") with 4th Grade Films, Inc. ("FHGR"), pursuant to
which FHGR will acquire approximately 90 % of the outstanding shares of
Strainwise in exchange for 23,124,184 shares of FHGR's common stock. FHGR is a
publicly-traded company, incorporated in Utah, with its common stock currently
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. It is contemplated that the Exchange will
qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
As part of the Share Exchange, we paid $134,700 of FHGR's liabilities and
purchased 1,038,000 shares of FHGR's common stock for $120,300 from two
shareholders of FHGR. The 1,038,000 shares were returned to treasury and
cancelled. FHGR also agreed to sell its rights to a motion picture, together
with all related domestic and international distribution agreements, and all
pre-production and other rights to the film, to a former officer and director of
FHGR in consideration for the assumption by a shareholder of FHGR of all
liabilities of FHGR (net of the $134,700 we paid) which were outstanding
immediately prior to the closing of the transaction.
The business combination will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition and
recapitalization, using accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions
whereby the financial statements subsequent to the date of the transaction will
be presented as a continuation of the Company. Under reverse acquisition
accounting, the Company (subsidiary) is treated as the accounting parent
(acquirer) and FGHR (parent) is treated as the accounting subsidiary (acquiree).
As a result of the Share Exchange, FGHR has 24,431,184 outstanding shares of
common stock, with the current shareholders of FGHR owning 1,307,000 of the
post-closing shares.
Operating Leases - We entered into a lease agreement on March 7, 2014 to lease
from an unrelated third party a grow facility of approximately 26,700 square
feet ("Custer Lease") for a term of five years commencing on April 1, 2014.
Lease payments are scheduled to be $29,200 per month for the first twelve months
of the lease, and then are scheduled to be $27,500 per month for the subsequent
12 months, $28,325 per month for the subsequent 12 months, $29,170 per month for
the subsequent 12 months and $30,035 per month for the final 12 months of the
lease. Under the terms of the Custer Lease, we are obligated to reimburse the
lessor for operating expenses applicable to the leased property, and we are
obligated to pay a security deposit of $29,200 which was due and paid upon the
execution of the Custer Lease. We have the option to renew the Custer Lease at
the end of the term of the lease at a mutually agreed upon rate per square foot;
there is no option to purchase the property underlying the Custer Lease. We will
provide all of the tenant improvements that will enable the continuous
cultivation of marijuana plants under approximately 460 grow lights. We account
for this lease as an operating lease rather than as a capital lease, because the
lease does not transfer ownership to us at the end of the lease, there is no
bargain purchase price for the grow facility as a component of the lease, the
terms of the lease are less than 75% of the economic life of the grow facility,
and the current present value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of
the fair market value of the asset. We will sublease this grow facility to the
affiliated entities for a term of five years in an amount equal to the sum of
(i) the monthly lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating
expenses paid to the lessor each month, (iii) plus the amount of monthly
amortization of tenant improvements, and (iv) a premium of forty percent.
Revenue from the sublease of the Custer grow facility will be recognized on a
monthly basis as the user is charged for the amount of the sublease
We entered into a lease agreement on April 1, 2014 to lease from an unrelated,
third party a grow facility of approximately 65,000 square feet ("51st Ave
Lease") for a term of five years and nine months. The terms of the 51st Ave
Lease stipulates the payment of $15,000 per month, prorated if necessary, until
such time that the Lessor is able to deliver a Certificate of Occupancy, which
is scheduled to occur on August 1, 2014. Thereafter, lease payments are
scheduled to be $176,456 per month for the first six months of the lease, and
then are scheduled to be $221,833 per month for the subsequent 24 months,
$231,917 per month for the subsequent 12 months, $242,000 per month for the
subsequent 12 months and $247,041 per month for the final 12 months of the
lease. Under the terms of the 51st Ave Lease, we are obligated to reimburse the
lessor for operating expenses applicable to the leased property, and we are
obligated to pay a security deposit of $150,000 one third of which was due and
paid upon the execution of the 51st Ave Lease, the second third is due and
payable after the first harvest or by October 1, 2014, and the final third is
due and payable after the second harvest or by December 1, 2014.We have the
option to renew the 51st Ave Lease at the end of the term of the lease at a
mutually agreed upon rate per square foot; there is no option to purchase the
property underlying the 51st Avenue Lease. The lessor provides all of the tenant
improvements that will enable the continuous cultivation of marijuana plants
under approximately 1,940 grow lights. We account for this lease as an operating
lease rather than as a capital lease, because the lease does not transfer
48
ownership to us at the end of the lease, there is no bargain purchase price for
the grow facility as a component of the lease, the terms of the lease are less
than 75% of the economic life of the grow facility, and the current present
value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair market value of
the asset. We will sublease this grow facility to the affiliated entities for a
term of five years and nine months in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
monthly lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating expenses paid
to the lessor each month, and (iii) a premium of forty percent. Revenue from the
sublease of the 51st Avenue grow facility will be recognized on a monthly basis
as the user is charged for the amount of the sublease
We entered into a lease agreement on April 22, 2014 to lease from an unrelated,
third party a grow facility of approximately 38,000 square feet ("Nome Lease")
for a term of seven years. The lease payments are scheduled to be $44,570 per
month for the first twelve months of the lease, and then are scheduled to be
$46,151 per month for the subsequent 12 months, $47,743 per month for the
subsequent 12 months, $49,334 per month for the subsequent 12 months and $50,925
per month for the subsequent 12 months, $52,517 per month for the subsequent 12
months, and $54,108 for the final 12 months of the lease. Under the terms of the
Nome Lease, we are obligated to reimburse the lessor for operating expenses
applicable to the leased property, and we are obligated to pay a security
deposit of $133,679 one half of which was due and paid upon the execution of the
Nome Lease, the final half was due and payable 30 days after the commencement
date. We have the option to renew the Nome Lease at the end of the term of the
lease at a mutually agreed upon rate per square foot; there is no option to
purchase the property underlying the Nome Lease. We will provide all of the
tenant improvements that will enable the continuous cultivation of marijuana
plants under approximately 920 grow lights. We account for this lease as an
operating lease rather than as a capital lease, because the lease does not
transfer ownership to us at the end of the lease, there is no bargain purchase
price for the grow facility as a component of the lease, the terms of the lease
are less than 75% of the economic life of the grow facility, and the current
present value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair market
value of the asset. We will sublease this grow facility to the affiliated
entities for a term of seven years in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
monthly lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating expenses paid
to the lessor each month, (iii) plus the amount of monthly amortization of
tenant improvements, and (iv) a premium of forty percent. Revenue from the
sublease of the Nome grow facility will be recognized on a monthly basis as the
user is charged for the amount of the sublease. Under the terms of the Nome
Lease, the lessor agreed to provide financing for up to $750,000 of tenant
improvements at an interest rate of 25%, payable monthly over 60 months. As of
October 1, 2014, the $750,000 of tenant improvements had been completed at the
facility, and we began paying monthly installments of $22,013 at that time. On
December 1, 2014, the lease was modified to extend the lease term through April
30, 2025; and the lease payments were modified to be $88,616 per month for the
period ending April 30, 2015, and then, for the following twelve months, are
scheduled to be $90,207, $91,799, $93,390, $94,981, $73,578, $75,169, $76,761,
78,352, and then $79,943 per month. The modification of the lease included the
cancellation of the $750,000 payable to the lessor for the financing of tenant
improvements, and the extension of an additional $800,000 to be used by us for
future tenant improvements. The full amount of $1,550,000 of tenant improvement
financing to be provided by the lessor will be amortized over the extended term
of the modified lease as a component of the monthly lease payments.
We entered into a lease agreement on June 10, 2014 to lease from an unrelated,
third party a grow facility of approximately 113,000 square feet ("32nd Ave
Lease") for a term of five years and nine months which will not become effective
until the proper Licenses are awarded, expected to be September 1, 2014. The
terms of the 32nd Ave Lease stipulates the payment of $25,000 per month,
prorated if necessary, until such time that the Lessor is able to deliver a
Certificate of Occupancy, which is scheduled to occur in early 2015. Thereafter,
lease payments are scheduled to be $282,500 per month for the first Sixteen
months of the lease, and then are scheduled to be $301,333 per month for the
subsequent 12 months, $320,167 per month for the subsequent 12 months, and
$329,583 per month for the final 12 months of the lease. Under the terms of the
32nd Ave Lease, we are obligated to reimburse the lessor for operating expenses
applicable to the leased property, and we are obligated to pay a security
deposit of $250,000, $150,000 of which was due and paid upon the execution of
the 32nd Ave Lease, and $100,000 due upon obtaining the Certificate of
Occupancy. We have the option to renew the 32nd Ave Lease at the end of the term
of the lease at a mutually agreed upon rate per square foot; there is no option
to purchase the property underlying the 32nd Ave Lease. The lessor will provide
all of the tenant improvements that will enable the continuous cultivation of
marijuana plants under approximately 3,000 grow lights. We account for this
lease as an operating lease rather than as a capital lease, because the lease
does not transfer ownership to us at the end of the lease, there is no bargain
purchase price for the grow facility as a component of the lease, the terms of
the lease are less than 75% of the economic life of the grow facility, and the
current present value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair
market value of the asset. We will sublease this grow facility to the affiliated
entities for a term of five years and nine months in an amount equal to the sum
of (i) the monthly lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating
expenses paid to the lessor each month, and (iii) plus the amount of monthly
amortization of tenant improvements, and (iv) a premium of forty percent.
Revenue from the sublease of the 32nd Avenue grow facility will be recognized on
a monthly basis as the user is charged for the amount of the sublease.

Convertible Note Payable - The Company issued $850,000 in a convertible note on
March 20, 2014 (the "Note"). The Note has an interest rate of 25%, payable
monthly, and matures on September 21, 2014. The outstanding principal balance of
the Note, plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, is convertible at
any time on or before the maturity date at $1 per common share. The convertible

holder of the Note elected to convert $200,000 of the principal of the Note into
293,000 of our common shares of stock at a price of $.6825 per share. As a
component of the Amendment, we in turn elected to prepay the remaining principal
balance of the Note, after the scheduled payment of the principal and accrued
interest due the holder on July 24, 2014 and to pay a prepayment penalty of
$11,250. The difference in the premium of the per share price of $0.6825 per the

penalty will be charged to interest expense ratably over the term of the
Amendment.

STRAINWISE, INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
October 31, 2014
Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:
Following is a summary of our organization and significant accounting policies:
Organization and nature of business - STRAINWISE, INC. (identified in these
footnotes as "we" "us" or the "Company") provides branding marketing,
administrative, accounting, financial and compliance services ("Fulfillment
Services") to entities in the cannabis retail and production industry. The
Company was incorporated in the state of Colorado as a limited liability company
on June 8, 2012, and subsequently converted to a Colorado corporation on January
16, 2014.
The Company provides sophisticated Fulfillment Services to (i) the four grow
facilities and eight retail stores (seven of which sell recreational and medical
marijuana to the public and one of which only sells medical marijuana to the
public) owned by an officer and director of the Company ("Affiliated Entities")
and (ii) makes such services available to independent retail stores and grow
facilities in the regulated cannabis industry throughout the United States.
The Fulfillment Services that we currently provide are summarized, as follows:
o Branding, Marketing and Administrative Consulting Services: Customers
may contract with us to use the Strainwise name, logo and affinity
images in their retail store locations. A monthly fee permits our
branding customer to use the Strainwise brand at one specific
location. In addition, we will assist operators in marketing and
managing their businesses, setting up new retail locations and general
business planning and execution at an hourly rate. This includes
services to establish an efficient, predictable production process, as
well as, nutrient recipes for consistent and appealing marijuana
strains.
o Accounting and Financial Services: For a monthly fee, we provide our
customers with a fully implemented general ledger system, with an
industry centric chart of accounts, which enables management to
readily monitor and manage all facets of a marijuana medical
dispensary, retail store and grow facility. We provide bookkeeping,
accounts payable processing, cash management, general ledger
processing, financial statement preparation, state and municipal sales
tax filings, and state and federal income tax compilation and filings
on behalf of the Company and the Captive Stores on an ongoing basis.
o Compliance Services: The rules, regulations and state laws governing
the production, distribution and retail sale of marijuana can be
complex, and may prove cumbersome with which to comply. Thus,
customers may contract with us to implement a compliance process,
based upon the number and type of licenses and permits for their
specific business. We provide this service on both an hourly rate and
stipulated monthly fee.
55
o Nutrient Supplier: The Company presently is a bulk purchaser of
nutrients and other cultivation supplies for the sole purpose of
growing marijuana. As a result, we are able to make bulk purchases
with price breaks, based upon volume. We serve as a sole source
nutrient purchasing agent and distributor with pricing based upon our
bulk purchasing power.
o Lending: We will provide loans to individuals and businesses in the
cannabis industry. However, Colorado State law does not allow entities
operating under a cannabis license to pledge the assets or the license
of the cannabis operation for any type of general borrowing activity.
Thus, our lending will be on an unsecured basis, with reliance on a
personal guarantee of the borrower.
o Lease of Grow Facilities and Equipment: We lease grow equipment and
facilities on a turn-key basis to customers in the cannabis industry.
We will also enter into sale lease backs of grow lights, tenant
improvements and other grow equipment.
We do not directly grow marijuana plants, produce marijuana infused products,
sell marijuana plants and or sell marijuana infused products of any nature.
Share exchange - , On August 19, 2014, we entered into an Agreement to Exchange
Securities ("Share Exchange"), pursuant to which we acquired approximately 90%
of the outstanding shares of a privately held Colorado corporation ("Strainwise
Colorado") in exchange for 23,124,184 shares of our common stock.
As part of the Share Exchange, Strainwise Colorado paid $134,700 of our
liabilities and purchased 1,038,000 shares of our common stock for $120,300 from
two of our shareholders. The 1,038,000 shares were returned to treasury and
cancelled. We also agreed to sell our rights to a motion picture, together with
all related domestic and international distribution agreements, and all
pre-production and other rights to the film, to a former officer and director in
consideration for the assumption by one of our shareholders of all of our
liabilities (net of the $134,700 paid by Strainwise Colorado) which were
outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the transaction.
On September 12, 2014 we acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Strainwise
Colorado in exchange for the issuance of 2,517,000 shares of our common stock.
The resulting business combination has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition and recapitalization, using accounting principles applicable to
reverse acquisitions whereby the financial statements subsequent to the date of
the transaction will be presented as a continuation of the Company. Under
reverse acquisition accounting, Strainwise Colorado is treated as the accounting
parent (acquirer) and we (parent) are treated as the accounting Subsidiary
(acquiree).
Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information required by GAAP for complete annual financial statement
presentation.
56
These condensed financial statements as of and for the three and nine months
ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion
of management, are necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position
and the results of its operations for the periods presented, in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2014,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim
periods or for the full year ending January 31, 2015.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we
consider all cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with
a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. During 2014, the
Company entered into an agreement with our Chief Executive Officer to hold all
of our cash funds in his personal bank account in trust for the Company. Because
of current banking regulations, marijuana centric entities are not afforded
normal banking privileges, and thus, we were not able to obtain a corporate bank
account at a federally charted bank until well into the end of the second
quarter of operations in 2014. Under the terms of our trust agreement with our
Chief Executive Officer, he agreed to hold our cash in his personal bank account
and to make payments of our funds only for our business purposes and to allow
daily access to the bank account for ongoing oversight of his fiduciary
responsibility to the Company. Additionally, the trust agreement required that
the Chief Executive Officer make copies available of all transactions applicable
to our operations to our accounting staff on a weekly, or as requested basis. At
October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014 there were no cash deposits in the
personal bank account of the Chief Executive Officer held in trust for us.
Prepaid expenses and other assets - The Company pays rent in advance of the
rental period. The Company records the carrying amount as of the balance sheet
date of rental payments made in advance of the rental period; such amounts are
charged against earnings within one year. The Company also capitalizes any
prepaid expenses related to the reverse merger.
The amount of prepaid expenses and other assets as of October 31, 2014 and
January 31, 2014 is $373,314 and $10,000, respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instruments - The
carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value because
of the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective
in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and,
therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect these estimates. We do not hold or issue financial
instruments for trading purposes, nor do we utilize derivative instruments in
the management of our foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market
risks.
The FASB Codification clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing
the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also
requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and
liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities
must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities
and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data,
which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is
based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
Commercial Operating Property - On July 26, 2014 we purchased a commercial
property that was previously leased by one of our affiliates, which we have
leased back to the affiliate. The commercial property consists of land and a
building that contains both a retail store and a grow facility. We have
allocated $220,000 and $440,000 of the purchase price to the cost of land and to
the cost of the improvements to the building, respectively, based upon
management's best estimate and belief. Management's estimate and belief was
based upon consideration of (i) replacement cost, (ii) limited knowledge of
comparable sales, (iii) anticipated future income generation, and (iv) single
use, internally. No intangible asset value was assigned to the existing lease on
the property, because the existing lease was immediately cancelled upon the
completion of the purchase of the commercial property. The cost of the
improvements to the building will be depreciated on a straight line method over
27.5 years, which we believe is the useful life of this asset.
58
Tenant improvements and office equipment - Tenant improvements are recorded at
cost, and are amortized over the lesser of the economic life of the asset or the
term of the applicable lease period. We determined that term of the leases
applicable to our tenant improvements are less than the economic life of the
respective assets that comprise our tenant improvements. Office equipment is
recorded at cost and is depreciated under straight line methods over each item's
estimated useful life. We review our tenant improvements and office equipment
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Maintenance and repairs of
property and equipment are charged to operations. Major improvements are
capitalized. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of property and
equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the
accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Tenant improvements and office equipment, net of accumulated amortization and
depreciation are comprised of the following:

Tenant improvements:
Upgrades of HVAC systems $ 864,374 $ -

$2,102,775 $ 10,500
============= ========
Tenant improvements are amortized over the term of the lease, and office
equipment is depreciated over its useful lives, which has been deemed by
management to be three years. Amortization and depreciation expense for the nine
months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 was $112,960 and $0, respectively.
Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under
ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss
carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of
changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
59
Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews
the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence
of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest
impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an
impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a
long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Trademarks - Trademarks and other intangible assets are stated at cost and are
amortized using the straight-line method over fifteen years. Accumulated
amortization was $610 and $0 at October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively and
consisted of the following at October 31, 2014:
Gross
Carrying Accumulated
Amount Amortization Net
---------- ------------- --------
Trademarks $11,010 $610 $ 10,400
======= ==== ========
Deferred Rent - The Company recognizes rent expense from operating leases on the
straight-line basis. Differences between the expense recognized and actual
payments are recorded as deferred rent.
Revenue recognition - Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under
contract terms. Revenue from affiliated entities is recognized as follows:
o Branding, Marketing and Administrative Services Revenue: Under the
terms of a ten year master service agreement, we allow an affiliated
entity to use the Strainwise brand for both retail and marketing
purposes at one location, plus we provide administrative services to
assist the employees of the affiliated entity to operate the business
of that related location, Also, under a long term master service
agreement, we provide administrative and management services to assist
employees of affiliated entities to operate their grow facilities. We
charge the affiliated entity a monthly fee of approximately $4,500 a
month for the branding, marketing and administrative services and
$4,500 to $20,000 for grow facility rent. Since we (i) are the primary
obligor, (ii) determine the price, (iii) perform the service, (iv)
have the credit risk, and (v) since there are no additional milestone
that need to be met other than actually providing the services, in
accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the revenue is recognized on monthly
basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable master service
agreement.
o Accounting and Financial Services Revenue: Under the terms of a ten
year master service agreement, we have agreed to provide our
affiliated entities with a fully implemented general ledger system,
coupled with an industry centric chart of accounts, which enables
management to readily monitor and manage all accounting and financial
facets of a marijuana medical dispensary, retail store and/or grow
facility. Under the terms of the master service agreement we have also
agreed to provide bookkeeping, accounts payable processing, cash
management, general ledger processing, financial statement
preparation, state and municipal sales tax filings, and state and
federal income tax compilation and filings. Under the terms of the
master service agreement, we provide the above described accounting
and financial services for a monthly fee of $3,000.Since we (i) are
the primary obligor, (ii) determine the price, (iii) perform the
service, (iv) have the credit risk, and (v) since there are no
additional milestone that need to be met other than actually providing
the above described service, in accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the
60
revenue is recognized on monthly basis in accordance with the terms of
the applicable master service agreement.
o Compliance Services Revenue: Under the terms of a ten year master
service agreement, we provide the affiliated entities with a
compliance process that includes the preparation and filing of state,
city and municipal applications and renewals of licenses in accordance
with the rules, regulations and state laws governing the production,
distribution and retail sale of marijuana. We provide this service to
our affiliate entities under the terms of a master service agreement
for a monthly fee of $2,500 per month. Since we (i) are the primary
obligor, (ii) determine the price, (iii) perform the service, (iv)
have the credit risk, and (v) since there are no additional milestone
that need to be met other than actually providing the above described
service, in accordance with ASC 60545-45, the revenue is recognized on
monthly basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable master
service agreement.
o Nutrient Sales: Under the terms of a ten year master service
agreement, we serve as a sole source nutrient purchasing agent and
distributor for our affiliated entities, with pricing based upon our
bulk purchasing power. We charge the affiliated entities for nutrients
supplied to them at the cost of the nutrients, plus a premium of
ninety percent. Since we (i) are the primary obligor, (ii) determine
the price, (iii) perform the service, (iv) have the credit risk, and
(v) since there are no additional milestone that need to be met other
than actually buying and delivering the above nutrients to the
affiliated entity, in accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the revenue is
recognized in the month in which the nutrient is actually delivered to
the related entity.
o Grow Facilities Revenue: Under the terms of a ten year master service
agreement, we lease grow facilities and equipment for a period equal
to the term of the underlying lease with an independent, third party
lessor in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the monthly lease payment,
(ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating expenses paid to the lessor
each month, (iii) plus the amount of monthly amortization of tenant
improvements, and (iv) plus a premium of forty percent. Since we (i)
are the primary obligor, (ii) determine the price, (iii) perform the
service, (iv) have the credit risk, and (v) since there are no
additional milestone that need to be met other than actually leasing
the facilities and equipment to the respective affiliated entity, in
accordance with ASC 605-45-45, the revenue is recognized in the month
in which the lease payments are made by us to the respective
independent, third party lessor.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in
stockholders' equity (deficit), exclusive of transactions with owners, such as
capital investments. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes
in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as
translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized
gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. From our Inception there have
been no differences between our comprehensive loss and net loss.
Net income per share of common stock - We have adopted applicable FASB
Codification regarding Earnings per Share, which require presentation of basic
and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
61
diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic
earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Note 2 - Going concern:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. For the period ended October 31, 2014,
the Company has had limited operations. As of October 31, 2014, the Company has
only recently become minimally profitable. In view of these matters, the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's
ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company
intends to continue financing its future development activities and its working
capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some
additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term
notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund
working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Related Party Transactions:
Substantially all of our revenues to date have been derived from long term
contracts with a group of entities that are majority owned by our Chief
Executive Officer, who is also the husband of our majority owner and President.
Note that all terms and contracts related to related party revenue are
determined by related parties and these terms can change at any time.
Related party revenue was $3,878,051 and $0, respectively, for the nine months
ended October 31, 2014 and 2013. As of October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, we
had accounts receivable from affiliated entities of $1,011,652 and $-0-
respectively.
Tenant improvements, net of improvements to our executive offices, were
$2,071,466 as of October 31, 2014, and represent the cost of improvements we
made to properties we rent from unrelated third parties and sublease to entities
controlled by our Chief Executive Officer. We paid $660,000 for the property we
purchased in July 2014 (see Note 8). We lease this property to an entity which
is also controlled by our Chief Executive Officer.
Note 4 - Operating Leases:
The Company entered into a lease agreement with an affiliate for our corporate
office needs. The lease is for a 31 month period, commenced in January 2014 for
6,176 square feet at an annual rate of $64,848 for the first twelve months,
$67,936 for the subsequent 12 months, and $41,431 for the subsequent 7 months
paid monthly, through October 31, 2016. This lease to the Company is on the same
terms and conditions as is the direct lease between the affiliate and the
independent lessor. Consequently, we believe that the lease terms to the Company
are comparable to lease terms we would receive directly from third party lessors
in our market, because the related party terms mirror the terms of the direct
lease between the independent, third party lessor and the affiliated entity.
62
We entered into a lease agreement on March 7, 2014 to lease from an independent
third party a grow facility of approximately 26,700 square feet ("Custer Lease")
for a term of five years commencing on April 1, 2014. Lease payments are
scheduled to be $29,200 per month for the first twelve months of the lease, and
then are scheduled to be $27,500 per month for the subsequent 12 months, $28,325
per month for the subsequent 12 months, $29,170 per month for the subsequent 12
months and $30,035 per month for the final 12 months of the lease. Under the
terms of the Custer Lease, we are obligated to reimburse the lessor for
operating expenses applicable to the leased property, and we are obligated to
pay a security deposit of $29,200 which was due and paid upon the execution of
the Custer Lease. We have the option to renew the Custer Lease at the end of the
term of the lease at a mutually agreed upon rate per square foot; there is no
option to purchase the property underlying the Custer Lease. We account for this
lease as an operating lease rather than as a capital lease, because the lease
does not transfer ownership to us at the end of the lease, there is no bargain
purchase price for the grow facility as a component of the lease, the terms of
the lease are less than 75% of the economic life of the grow facility, and the
current present value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair
market value of the asset. Beginning January 1, 2015, we subleased the Custer
facility to an independent third party for a five-year period on a
triple-net-lease-basis, with monthly rental payments of $20,000 per month for
the six month period beginning January 1, 2015 $51,200 per month for the six
month period beginning July 1, 2015 and $35,600 per month for the 48-month
period beginning January 1, 2016. Effective January 1, 2015 revenue from the
sublease of the Custer facility is recognized on a monthly basis as a reduction
of lease expense.
We entered into a lease agreement on April 1, 2014 to lease from an independent
third party a grow facility of approximately 65,000 square feet ("51st Ave
Lease") for a term of five years and nine months. The terms of the 51st Ave
Lease stipulates the payment of $15,000 per month, prorated if necessary, until
such time that the Lessor is able to deliver a Certificate of Occupancy, which
occurred on August 1, 2014. Thereafter, lease payments are scheduled to be
$176,456 per month for the first six months of the lease, and then are scheduled
to be $221,833 per month for the subsequent 24 months, $231,917 per month for
the subsequent 12 months, $242,000 per month for the subsequent 12 months and
$247,041 per month for the final 12 months of the lease. Under the terms of the
51st Ave Lease, we are obligated to reimburse the lessor for operating expenses
applicable to the leased property and we are obligated to pay a security deposit
in the total amount $150,000, two thirds of which has been paid, with the
remaining $50,000 due by December 1, 2014. We have the option to renew the 51st
Ave Lease at the end of the term of the lease at a mutually agreed upon rate per
square foot; there is no option to purchase the property underlying the 51st
Avenue Lease. The Lessor will provide all of the tenant improvements that will
enable the continuous cultivation of marijuana plants under approximately 1,940
grow lights. We account for this lease as an operating lease rather than as a
capital lease, because the lease does not transfer ownership to us at the end of
the lease, there is no bargain purchase price for the grow facility as a
component of the lease, the terms of the lease are less than 75% of the economic
life of the grow facility, and the current present value of the minimum lease
payments is less than 90% of the fair market value of the asset. We sublease
this grow facility to an affiliated entity under the terms of a Master Service
Agreement for a term of five years and nine months in an amount equal to the sum
of (i) the monthly lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating
expenses paid to the lessor each month, and (iii) plus the amount of monthly
63
amortization of tenant improvements, and (iv) a premium of forty percent.
Revenue from the sublease of the 51st Avenue grow facility is recognized on a
monthly basis as the user is charged for the amount of the sublease.
We entered into a lease agreement on April 22, 2014 to lease from an independent
third party a grow facility of approximately 38,000 square feet ("Nome Lease")
for a term of seven years. The lease payments are scheduled to be $44,570 per
month for the first twelve months of the lease, and then are scheduled to be
$46,151 per month for the subsequent 12 months, $47,743 per month for the
subsequent 12 months, $49,334 per month for the subsequent 12 months and $50,925
per month for the subsequent 12 months, $52,517 per month for the subsequent 12
months, and $54,108 for the final 12 months of the lease. Under the terms of the
Nome Lease, we are obligated to reimburse the lessor for operating expenses
applicable to the leased property, and we are obligated to pay a security
deposit of $133,679 one half of which was due and paid upon the execution of the
Nome Lease, the final half was due and payable 30 days after the commencement
date. We have the option to renew the Nome Lease at the end of the term of the
lease at a mutually agreed upon rate per square foot; there is no option to
purchase the property underlying the Nome Lease. We are responsible to provide
all of the tenant improvements that will enable the continuous cultivation of
marijuana plants under approximately 920 grow lights. We account for this lease
as an operating lease rather than as a capital lease, because the lease does not
transfer ownership to us at the end of the lease, there is no bargain purchase
price for the grow facility as a component of the lease, the terms of the lease
are less than 75% of the economic life of the grow facility, and the current
present value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair market
value of the asset. We sublease this grow facility to an affiliated entity under
the terms of a Master Service Agreement for a term of seven years in an amount
equal to the sum of (i) the monthly lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of
reimbursed operating expenses paid to the lessor each month, (iii) plus the
amount of monthly amortization of tenant improvements, and (iv) a premium of
forty percent. Revenue from the sublease of the Nome grow facility is recognized
on a monthly basis as the user is charged for the amount of the sublease.
We entered into a lease agreement on June 10, 2014 to lease from an independent
third party a grow facility of approximately 113,000 square feet ("32nd Ave
Lease") for a term of five years. The Lease will not become fully effective
until we are awarded the necessary licenses, and the Lessor is able to deliver a
Certificate of Occupancy, which is presently estimated to occur sometime during
early to mid-2015. The terms of the 32nd Ave Lease stipulate the payment of
$25,000 per month, prorated if necessary, until such time that the Lessor is
able to deliver a Certificate of Occupancy Thereafter, lease payments are
scheduled to be $282,500 per month for the first 24 months of the lease, and
then are scheduled to be $301,333 per month for the subsequent 12 months,
$320,167 per month for the subsequent 12 months, and $329,583 per month for the
final 12 months of the lease. Under the terms of the 32nd Ave Lease, we are
obligated to reimburse the lessor for operating expenses applicable to the
leased property, and we are obligated to pay a security deposit of $250,000,
$150,000 of which was due and paid upon the execution of the 32nd Ave Lease, and
$100,000 due upon obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy. We have the option to
renew the 32nd Ave Lease at the end of the term of the lease at a mutually
agreed upon rate per square foot; there is no option to purchase the property
underlying the 32nd Ave Lease. The lessor will provide all of the tenant
improvements that will enable the continuous cultivation of marijuana plants
under approximately 3,000 grow lights. We account for this lease as an operating
lease rather than as a capital lease, because the lease does not transfer
ownership to us at the end of the lease, there is no bargain purchase price for
the grow facility as a component of the lease, the terms of the lease are less
than 75% of the economic life of the grow facility, and the current present
value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair market value of
the asset. We will sublease this grow facility to an affiliated entity under the
64
terms of a Master Service Agreement for a term of five years in an amount equal
to the sum of (i) the monthly lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of reimbursed
operating expenses paid to the lessor each month, (iii) plus the amount of
monthly amortization of tenant improvements, and (iv) and a premium of forty
percent. Revenue from the sublease of the 32nd Avenue grow facility will be
recognized on a monthly basis as the user is charged for the amount of the
sublease.
We entered into a lease agreement on September 11, 2014 to lease a grow facility
of approximately 20,000 square feet ("Bryant St. Lease") for a term of ten
years. During the first 12 months of the lease, lease payments are scheduled to
be $23,984 for the first four months and 24,531 for the next eight months, and

$33,794, $34,470, and $35,160 for the second through the tenth year of the
lease, respectively. We are not required to provide any security deposits or
first and last month's rental amounts. We have an option to purchase the
building for $2,400,000 at any time during the first 36 months of the lease,
provided that we deliver a purchase option notice to the Lessor prior to the end
of the 33rd month of the lease. We are responsible to provide all of the tenant
improvements that will enable the continuous cultivation of marijuana plants
under approximately 370 grow lights. We account for this lease as an operating
lease rather than as a capital lease, because the lease does not transfer
ownership to us at the end of the lease, there is no bargain purchase price for
the grow facility as a component of the lease, the terms of the lease are less
than 75% of the economic life of the grow facility, and the current present
value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair market value of
the asset. We lease this grow facility to an affiliated entity under the terms
of a Master Services Agreement on a long term basis in an amount equal to the
sum of (i) the monthly lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating
expenses paid to the lessor each month, (iii) plus the amount of monthly
amortization of tenant improvements, and (iv) a premium of forty percent.

Note 7 - Convertible Note Payable:
The Company issued a convertible note in the amount of $850,000 on March 20,
2014 (the "Note"). This Note was subsequently amended, and the unpaid principal
balance was converted into common stock, as more fully described below. The Note
had an interest rate of 25%, payable monthly, and was scheduled to mature on
September 21, 2014. The outstanding principal balance of the Note, plus any
accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, was convertible at any time on or
before the maturity date at $1 per common share. The Note was personally
guaranteed by our majority shareholder and by an officer and director of the
Company.
On July 16, 2014, the terms of the Note were amended ("Amendment") wherein the
holder of the Note elected to convert $200,000 of the principal of the Note into
293,000 of our common shares of stock at a price of $.6825 per share. As a
component of the Amendment, we in turn elected to prepay the remaining principal
balance of the Note, after the scheduled payment of the principal and accrued
interest due the holder on July 24, 2014, and to pay a prepayment penalty of
$11,250. The difference of $93,000 in the premium of the per-share price of
$0.6825 per share per the Amendment and the $1 per share per the Note, plus the
66
amount of the prepayment penalty was charged to the loss on the early
extinguishment of debt and interest expense, respectively.
Note 8 - Mortgage Payable
On July 26, 2014 the company entered into a mortgage payable for the purpose of
purchasing a commercial operating property that contains a grow facility and
retail store, which we lease to one of our affiliated entities. The amount of
the mortgage is $595,000, has a three year term, and has no stated rate of
interest. In accordance with ASC 835-30, we imputed an interest rate for the
mortgage payable of 21.36%. The mortgage is payable in varying amounts from
$11,000 to $36,000 per month, which includes interest at stated amount of $6,000
per month, with a balloon payment of $126,000 due in the thirty-sixth month of
the term. We account for the mortgage on a straight line basis with an imputed
monthly payment of principal and interests in the amount of $22,301 per month.
The difference between the imputed monthly payment amount and actual payment
amounts is recorded as an increase or decrease to deferred interest expense, at
the time a monthly payment is made. Actual cash payments of principal and
interest due under the terms of the mortgage over the subsequent three year
period are, as follows:
Period ended October 31,
2015 - $221,000
2016 - $232,000
2017 - $232,000
2018 - $126,000
The mortgage is also personally guaranteed by Shawn Phillips, an affiliate of
the Company.
Note 9 - New Accounting Pronouncements:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") periodically issues new
accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial
accounting and reporting. The Company has reviewed the recently issued
pronouncements and concluded that there are no new accounting standards are
applicable to the Company. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2014-10, Development
Stage Entities: Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements,
Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810,
Consolidation. The adoption of this ASU allows the Company to remove the
inception to date information and all references to development stage. We do not
expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a
significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash
flow.
Note 10 - Subsequent Events:
We entered into a lease agreement on November 11, 2014 to lease a retail
location of approximately 2,976 square feet ("Federal Heights Lease") for a term
of 5 years and one month, with two 5 year renewal options. During term of the
lease, lease payments are scheduled to be $5,704 per month. We are responsible
to provide all of the tenant improvements that will enable the continuous sale
of marijuana products at the Federal Heights retail location by an affiliated
entity. We account for this lease as an operating lease rather than as a capital
67
lease, because the lease does not transfer ownership to us at the end of the
lease, there is no bargain purchase price for the grow facility as a component
of the lease, the terms of the lease are less than 75% of the economic life of
the grow facility, and the current present value of the minimum lease payments
is less than 90% of the fair market value of the asset. We will lease this
retail location to an affiliated entity under the terms of a Master Services
Agreement on a long term basis in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the monthly
lease payment, (ii) plus the cost of reimbursed operating expenses paid to the
lessor each month, (iii) plus the amount of monthly amortization of tenant
improvements, and (iv) a premium of forty percent. Revenue from the sublease of
the Federal Heights retail location will be recognized on a monthly basis as the
user is charged for the amount of the sublease.
We entered into a modification of the Nome lease on December 1, 2014, wherein
the lease was modified to extend the lease term through April 30, 2025; and, the
lease payments were modified to be $88,616 per month for the five months ending
April 30 2015, and then are scheduled to be $90,207, $91,799, $93,390, $94,981,
$73,578, $75,169, $76,761, 78,352, and then $79,943 per month for the final 12
months of the lease. The modification of the lease included the cancellation of
the $750,000 note payable to the lessor for the financing of tenant
improvements, and the extension of an additional $800,000 to be used by us for
future tenant improvements. The full amount of $1,550,000 of tenant improvement
financing to be provided by the lessor is to be amortized over the extended term
of the modified lease as a component of the monthly lease payments.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section l0 (a)(3) of the
Securities Act:
(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually
or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(1) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
73
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of l933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date
the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration
statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2),
(b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule
430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or
(x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a)
of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included
in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of
prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first
contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer
and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be
deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating
to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus
relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a
time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document
immediately prior to such effective date; or
(ii)If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an
offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than
prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and
included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a
74
document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or
modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document
immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under
the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means
of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities
to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or
on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its

9. Sublandlord's Remedies.
a. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event
of Default is not cured within seven (7) days written notice,
Sublandlord may at any time thereafter at its election: terminate this
Sublease Agreement or Subtenant's right of possession, (but Subtenant
shall remain liable as hereinafter provided) and/or pursue any other
remedies at law or in equity. Upon the termination of this Sublease
Agreement or termination of Subtenant's right of possession, it shall
be lawful for Sublandlord, without formal demand or notice of any
kind, to re-enter the Premises by summary dispossession proceedings or
any other action or proceeding authorized by law and to remove
Subtenant and all persons and property therefrom. If Sublandlord
re-enters the Premises, Sublandlord shall have the right to keep in
place and use, or remove and store, all of the furniture, fixtures and
equipment at the Premises.
b. If Sublandlord terminates this Sublease Agreement, Sublandlord may
recover from Subtenant the sum of: all rent and all other amounts
accrued hereunder to the date of such termination; the cost of
reletting the whole or any part of the Premises, including without
limitation costs of removing and storing Subtenant's or any other
occupant's property, repairing or otherwise putting the Premises into
the condition in which the Premises was received by Subtenant,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, as acceptable to a new Subtenant or
Subtenants of the same type or for the same use as Subtenant, and all
reasonable expenses incurred by Sublandlord in pursuing its remedies,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs; and the excess
of the then present value of the rent and other amounts payable by
Subtenant under this Sublease Agreement as would otherwise have been
required to be paid Subtenant to Sublandlord during the period
following the termination of this Sublease Agreement measured from the
date of such termination to the expiration date stated in this
Sublease Agreement, over the present value of any net amounts which
Subtenant establishes Sublandlord can reasonably expect to recover by
reletting the Premises for such period, taking into consideration the
availability of acceptable subtenants and other market conditions
affecting leasing. Such present values shall be calculated at a
discount rate equal to the ninety (90) day U.S. Treasury bill rate at
the date of such termination.
c. If Sublandlord terminates Subtenant's right of possession (but not
this Sublease Agreement), Sublandlord shall use its best
81
efforts to relet the Premises for the account of Subtenant for such
rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Sublandlord
without thereby releasing Subtenant from any liability hereunder and
without demand or notice of any kind to Subtenant.
d. Exercise by Sublandlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted
or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of
surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Sublease
Agreement by Sublandlord, whether by agreement or by operation of law,
it being understood that such surrender and/or termination can be
effected only by the written agreement of Sublandlord and Subtenant.
10. Subtenant's Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Subtenant shall not be in
default hereunder and Subtenant shall not have any remedy or cause of action
unless Sublandlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within ten
(10) days after written notice from Subtenant specifying such failure (unless
such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of
time in excess of ten (10) days, then after such period of time as is reasonably
necessary). All obligations of Sublandlord hereunder shall be construed as
covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in
this Sublease Agreement, Subtenant may not terminate this Sublease Agreement for
breach of Sublandlord's obligations hereunder. All obligations of Sublandlord
under this Sublease Agreement will be binding upon Sublandlord only during the
period of its ownership or leasehold of the Premises and not thereafter.
11. Indemnity and Hold Harmless. Notwithstanding anything contained in the
Master Lease or Sublease Agreement to the contrary, Subtenant, for themselves,
their personal representatives, heirs, successors, legal representatives,
assigns, invitees and guests, hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless
Sublandlord from any loss or liability, damage, or costs, and discharge
Sublandlord for any and all loss or damage and any claims or demands therefore
including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, that Sublandlord may incur in
any suit, demand, legal action, or claim of any nature made by any government
agency.
12. Sole Agreement: Notwithstanding anything contained in the Master Lease or
Sublease Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that this Sublease
Agreement contain the entire agreement between the parties related to the
leasing of the Premise. This Sublease Agreement cannot be modified or amended in

5. Conversion Rights. The principal amount of the Note and any accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, are convertible into shares of common stock of the
Borrower (the "Common Stock") as provided in the Note (the "Conversion Shares").
101
6. Registration Procedures.
6.1. Demand Rights. From the date hereof, until the date which is three (3)
years from the date hereof (the "Demand Period"), subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Lender will have in the single opportunity, in
addition to other rights enumerated in this Agreement, to request registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") of all or
part of the Conversion Shares, including any securities issued or issuable with
respect to the Conversion Shares by way of replacement, share dividend, share
split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization (the "Registrable Securities"), as
provided herein (a "Demand Registration").
a. Except as provided below, during the Demand Period any holder or
combination of holders (the "Demanding Shareholders") owning more than
50% or more of the Registrable Securities may deliver to the Borrower
a written request (a "Demand Registration Request") that the Borrower
register any or all such Demanding Shareholders' Registrable Shares.
b. A Demand Registration Request from Demanding Shareholders shall (i)
set forth the number of Registrable Securities intended to be sold
pursuant to the Demand Registration Request; (ii) disclose whether all
or any portion of a distribution pursuant to such registration will be
sought by means of an underwriting; and (iii) identify any managing
underwriter or managing underwriters proposed for the underwritten
portion, if any, of such registration.
c. Upon the receipt by the Borrower of a Demand Registration Request, the
Borrower shall, within ten (10) days following receipt of such Demand
Registration Request, notify the Demanding Shareholders whether all,
part, or none of the distribution is expected to be made by means of
an underwriting, and, if more than one means of distribution is
contemplated, may require holders to notify the Borrower of the means
of distribution of their Registrable Securities to be included in the
registration. The right of the holder to include all or any portion of
its Registrable Securities in an underwriting shall be conditioned
upon the Borrower's having received a timely written request for such
inclusion by way of a Demand Registration Request (which right shall
be further conditioned to the extent provided in this Agreement).
6.2. Right to Piggyback. If the Borrower proposes to undertake an offering
of shares of Common Stock for its account or for the account of other
stockholders and the registration form to be used for such offering may be used
for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"),
each such time the Borrower will give prompt written notice to all holders of
Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration (each, a
"Piggyback Notice") and the Borrower will use its best efforts to cause to be
included in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which
the Borrower has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty
(20) days after the date of sending the Piggyback Notice.
a. Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Borrower, and the
managing underwriters advise the Borrower in writing that in their
opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number that can be sold in an orderly manner
within a price range acceptable to the Borrower, the Borrower will
102
include in such registration (a) first, the securities the Borrower
proposes to sell, and (b) second, the Registrable Securities requested
to be included in such registration and any other securities requested
to be included in such registration that are held by persons other
than the Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to registration
rights, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Securities and the
holders of such other securities requesting such registration on the
basis of the number of shares of such securities owned by each such
holder.
b. Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the
Borrower's securities other than the holders of Registrable Securities
(the "Other Holders"), and the managing underwriters advise the
Borrower in writing that in their opinion the number of securities
requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that
can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range
acceptable to the Other Holders requesting such registration, the
Borrower will include in such registration (a) first, the securities
requested to be included therein by the Other Holders requesting such
registration, and (b) second, the Registrable Securities requested to
be included in such registration hereunder, pro rata among the holders
of Registrable Securities requesting such registration on the basis of
the number of shares entitled to registration rights owned by each
such holder.
c. The rights granted by this section will not apply to the Borrower's
current registration statement.
6.3. Registration. The Borrower will use its reasonable best efforts to
effect the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Borrower will
as expeditiously as possible:
a. Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement with respect
to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective.
b. Amendments and Supplements. Promptly prepare and file with the SEC
such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep
such registration statement effective for the period required by the
intended method of disposition and the terms of this Agreement and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement
during such period in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration
statement.
c. Provisions of Copies. Promptly furnish to each seller of Registrable
Securities the number of copies of such registration statement, each
amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such
registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and
such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
seller.
d. Blue Sky Laws. Use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify
such Registrable Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of
such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and
all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or
103
advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller,
provided, that the Borrower will not be required to (a) qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection; (b) subject
itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; or (c) consent to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction.
e. Prospectus Updating. Promptly notify each seller of such Registrable
Shares when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act, of the happening of any of the following
events (i) the occurrence of one or more event which, individually or
together, represents a fundamental change in the information contained
in the prospectus included with such registration statement; (ii) any
material addition or change on the plan of distribution; or (iii) any
event which would cause the information in the prospectus included in
such registration statement to contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading. In such event, at the request of
any such seller, the Borrower will promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to such prospectus.
f. Due Diligence. Make available for inspection by any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration
statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any
such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents, and properties of the Borrower, and cause the Borrower's
officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply
all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.
g. Deemed Underwriters or Controlling Persons. Permit any holder of
Registrable Securities which holder, in such holder's reasonable
judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person
of the Borrower, to participate in the preparation of such
registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion
therein of material in form and substance satisfactory to such holder
and to the Borrower and furnished to the Borrower in writing, which in
the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be
included.
h. Stop Orders. Promptly notify holders of the Registrable Securities of
the threat of issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any
proceeding for that purpose, and make every reasonable effort to
prevent the entry of any order suspending the effectiveness of the
registration statement. In the event of the issuance of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any
order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or
suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in
such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Borrower
will use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal
of such order.
6.4. Further Information. The Borrower may require each holder of
Registrable Securities to furnish to the Borrower in writing such information
regarding the proposed distribution by such holder as the Borrower may from time
to time reasonably request.
6.5. Notice to Suspend Offers and Sales. Each Holder severally agrees that,
upon receipt of any notice from the Borrower of the happening of any event of
104
the kind described in Sections 6.3(e) and 6.3(h) hereof, such Holder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a
registration hereunder until receipt of the copies of an appropriate supplement
or amendment to the prospectus under Section 6.3(e) or until the withdrawal of
such order under Section 6.3(h).
6.6. Reference to Holders. If any such registration or comparable statement
refers to any holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the
Borrower and if, in the holder's reasonable judgment, such holder is or might be
deemed to be a controlling person of the Borrower, such holder shall have the
right to require (a) the insertion therein of language in form and substance
satisfactory to such holder and the Borrower and presented to the Borrower in
writing, to the effect that the holding by such holder of such securities is not
to be construed as a recommendation by such holder of the investment quality of
the Borrower's securities covered thereby and that such holdings do not imply
that such holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the
Borrower.
6.7. Registration Expenses.
6.7.1 Expense Borne by Borrower. Except as specifically otherwise provided
in Section 6.7.2, the Borrower will be responsible for payment of all expenses
incident to any registration hereunder, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or
blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, road show
expenses, advertising expenses and fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Borrower and all independent certified public accountants and other Persons
retained by the Borrower in connection with such registration.
6.7.2 Expense Borne by Selling Security Holders. The holder will be
responsible for payment of his own legal fees (if he retains legal counsel
separate from that of the Borrower), underwriting fees and brokerage discounts,
commissions and other sales expenses incident to any registration hereunder.
7. Non-Waiver. No course of dealing between the parties hereto, or any
failure or delay on the part of a party in exercising any rights or remedies
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of that party
under this or any other applicable instrument. No single or partial exercise of
any rights or remedies hereunder shall operate as a waiver or preclude the
exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder.

STRAINWISE, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED
25% SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Up to $2,300,000 February, 5, 2015
STRAINWISE, INC., a Utah corporation (the "Company"), for value received,
hereby promises to pay to GREEN ACRES PARTNERS A, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company (the "Holder"), the aggregate principal amount of all the
"Loan Advance(s)" owing to the Holder as set forth in Schedule A hereto, on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Amended and Restated 25% Senior
Convertible Promissory Note (this "Note"). This Note amends and restates, but
does not extinguish, impair, novate or discharge the obligations evidenced by
that certain Promissory Note, dated January 30, 2015, executed by the Company in
favor of the Holder. Each Loan Advance owing to the Holder by the Company, and
all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the
Holder upon the transfer thereof, endorsed on the grid marked as Schedule A
hereto, which is part of this Note; provided, however, that the failure of the
Holder to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the
obligations of the Company under this Note. Payment for all amounts due
hereunder shall be made by mail or wire to the registered address of the Holder.
The performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder are secured by
guaranties of the principals of the Company and a subsidiary of the Company, of
even date herewith, and all other present and future security agreements between
the Company and the Holder.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder of this Note and
the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder hereof, by
the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
1. Maturity. The principal hereof and any unpaid accrued interest hereon,
as set forth below, regardless of when paid or recorded on Schedule A, shall be
due and payable on the earlier to occur of: (i) January 31, 2017 (the "Maturity
Date"); or (ii) when declared due and payable by the Holder upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default (as defined below).
2. Interest. This Note shall accrue interest on the principal for a period
from the date of this Note at a rate of twenty-five percent (25%) per annum (the
"Interest Rate"), commencing on the date set forth in Schedule A for that
particular Loan Advance. The Company will pay interest on the Note on a monthly
basis until paid in full. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day
year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest payments are due and
payable in advance on or before the 15th day of each month during the term of
this Note, commencing February 15, 2015. If there occurs an acceleration or
prepayment of the Note prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms
hereof, all interest due and payable at such time on the principal amount due
111
shall be paid in full. All payments hereunder are to be applied first to
reasonable costs and fees referred to herein, second to the payment of accrued
interest, and the remaining balance to the payment of principal.
3. Prepayment Penalty. This Note is subject to prepayment, in whole or in
part, at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days' written notice to the
Holder. If any prepayment is made by or on behalf of the Company prior to the
Maturity Date, there shall be a prepayment penalty equal to ten percent (10%) of
the principal so prepaid.
4. Subordination. The Company covenants and agrees, and the Holder, by such
Holder's acceptance hereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent
and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section, the indebtedness
represented by this Note and the payment of the principal of and interest on
this Note are hereby expressly made senior to any other indebtedness of the
Company, other than the debt owed Bishane Race LLC in the principal amount of
$457,160. The Company hereby covenants that to the extent that the Company has
other debts outstanding (other than those set forth above), the Company will use
its best efforts to obtain the agreement of such creditors to subordinate their
debts to that of the Holder.
5. Events of Default. If any of the events specified in this Section occur
(herein individually referred to as an "Event of Default"), the Holder may, so

interest hereon immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the
Company:
a. Default in the payment of the principal or unpaid accrued interest
of this Note when due and payable;
b. The institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated as
bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or

action against the Company, without the consent or acquiescence of the

seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or
regulation, such action shall not have been resolved in favor of the
Company or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or
the business of the Company stayed, or if the stay of any such order or
proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or if, within sixty (60) calendar
days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the
Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or
any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such appointment
shall not have been vacated;
d. The Company is a party to any Change of Control Transaction or
agrees to sell or dispose of all or in excess of fifty percent (50%) of its
assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions (whether or
not such sale would constitute a Change of Control Transaction). For the

of the voting securities of the Company; (ii) the Company merges into or
consolidates with any other person or entity, or any person or entity

Board of Directors on the original issue date (or by those individuals who
are serving as members of the Board of Directors on any date whose
nomination to the Board of Directors was approved by a majority of the
members of the Board of Directors who are members on the date hereof); or
(v) the execution by the Company or a subsidiary of an agreement to which
the Company is a party or by which it is bound, providing for any of the
events set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above; or

the parties of even date herewith, as hereafter amended, that remains
uncured after notice of breach and failure to timely cure such breach.
6. The Holder's Rights Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and
continuance of any Event of Default, the Holder in its sole and absolute
discretion will have the right to declare all unpaid interest and principal
immediately due and payable and exercise all other legal rights in connection
therewith.

herein, the Holder, or its assignee, is entitled, at its option, at any time
prior to maturity, or in case this Note or some portion hereof shall have been
called for prepayment prior to such date, then, in respect of this Note or such
portion hereof, until and including, but not after, the close of business within
thirty (30) days of the date of notice of prepayment, to convert the principal
amount of the debt owed under this Note into common shares of the Company at the
rate of $1.00 per share (the "Shares"). If the Holder exercises this option, it
shall do so by surrendering this Note, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company,
accompanied by written notice to the Company, in the form set forth below, that
the Holder hereof elects to convert this Note or, if less than the entire
principal amount hereof is to be converted, the portion hereof to be converted.
Such conversion shall be effected at the rate of one share of Company common
stock per $1.00 of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of this
Note, all subject to such adjustment in such conversion price, if any, as may be
required by the provisions of this Note. No fractions of Shares will be issued
on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest, the Company will pay cash
adjustments as provided herein.
8. Limitations on Right of Conversion. Following receipt of the written
notice of intention to convert the Note, the Company shall take such steps as it
deems appropriate to permit conversion of the Note as specified in the notice
without registration or qualification under applicable federal and state
securities laws; provided, that in no event shall the Company be required to
consent to the general service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation
in any jurisdiction where the Holder resides if such jurisdiction is different
than such Holder's residence when the Note was originally offered and sold. In
order to comply with exemptions from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and certain state securities statutes, the
Company may require the Holder of this Note to make certain representations and
113
execute and deliver to the Company certain documents as a condition to exercise
of conversion rights hereunder, all in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company as determined in its sole discretion. In the event the Company
reasonably determines that the Note cannot be converted in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws in the absence of registration or
qualification under such statutes, the Company shall be under no obligation to
permit conversion of the Note and issue any shares of common stock pursuant
hereto. The Company shall also utilize its best efforts to qualify such Shares
for sale under the applicable state laws in those jurisdictions in which the
Holder of the Note resides at the time of conversion. If, notwithstanding such
efforts to qualify such Shares for sale in such state, the Company is unable to
so qualify such Shares for sale in such state, the Shares delivered shall be
subject to applicable restrictions on their transfer under the laws of such
state or, of no exemption from registration is available, this Note shall not be
convertible.
9. Adjustment in Conversion. The conversion price and number of Shares
issuable upon conversion of this Note may be subject to adjustment from time to
time as follows:
a. If the Company takes a record of the Holders of its Shares for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend in Shares, the conversion
price in effect immediately prior to such record date shall be
proportionately decreased, such adjustment to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following such record date;
b. If the Company subdivides the outstanding Shares into a greater
number of Shares or combine the outstanding Shares into a smaller number of
Shares, or issues by reclassification any of its Shares, the conversion
price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the
Holder of the Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled
to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described the number
of Shares to which the Holder would have been entitled had such Note been
converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, such
adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the date upon which such subdivision or combination or
reclassification, as the case may be, becomes effective;
c. No fraction of a Share shall be issued upon conversion, but in lieu
thereof the Company, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, may pay
therefor in cash at the fair value of the fractional Share at the time of
conversion;
d. Neither the purchase or other acquisition by the Company of any
Shares, nor the sale of other disposition by the Company of any Shares,
shall affect any adjustment of the conversion price or be taken into
account in computing any subsequent adjustment of the conversion price; and
e. If at any time:
i. the Company proposes to pay any dividend payable in Shares
upon its Shares or make any distribution, including cash or property
dividend, out of earnings or earned surplus, to the holders of Shares;
ii. the Company proposes to enter into any plan of capital
reorganization or reclassification of the Shares of the Company; or
iii. the Company proposes to merge, consolidate, or encumber or
sell all or substantially all of its assets other than in the ordinary
course of business,
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall cause a notice to be
mailed to the registered Holder of this Note at the address of such Holder set
forth in the registration records of the Company. Such notice shall be solely
for the convenience of such registered holder and shall not be a condition
precedent to, nor shall any defect therein or failure in connection therewith
114
affect the validity of, the action proposed to be taken by the Company. Such
notice shall be mailed, at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the
books of the Company shall close, or a record date shall be taken for such
Shares dividend, Share split or reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale
of properties and assets, as the case may be. Such notice shall specify such
record date for the closing of the transfer books. 10. Restrictions. The Holder
of this Note, by acceptance hereof, both with respect to the Note and the Shares
to be issuable upon conversion of the Note (unless issued pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act")), represents and warrants as follows:
a. The Note and the Shares are being acquired for the Holder's own
account to be held for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or
for, resale in connection with any distribution of such Note or Shares or
any interest therein without registration or other compliance under the
Act, and the Holder hereof has no direct or indirect participation in any
such undertaking or in underwriting such an undertaking.
b. The Holder hereof has been advised and understands that the Note
and the Shares have not been registered under the Act and the Note and/or
the Shares must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise
disposed of for value unless they are subsequently registered under the Act
or an exemption from such registration is available; the Company is under
no obligation to register the Note and/or the Shares under the Act; in the
absence of such registration, sale of the Note or Shares may be
impracticable; the Company or the Company's registrar and transfer agent,
if any, will maintain stock transfer orders against registration of
transfer of the Note and the Shares; and the certificates to be issued for
any Shares will bear on their face a legend in substantially the following
form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"),
OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR SOLD IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE ACT
OR THE LAWS OF THE APPLICABLE STATE OR A "NO ACTION" OR INTERPRETIVE
LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, AND ITS COUNSEL, TO THE
EFFECT THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
ACT AND SUCH STATE STATUTES.
c. The Company may refuse to transfer the Note and/or the Shares
unless the Holder thereof provides an opinion of legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company or a "no action" or interpretive response from
the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that the transfer is
proper; further, unless such letter or opinion states that the Note and/or
Shares are free from any restrictions under the Act, the Company may refuse
to transfer the Note and/or the Shares to any transferee who does not
furnish in writing to the Company the same representations and agrees to
the same conditions with respect to such Note and Shares as set forth
herein. The Company may also refuse to transfer the Note or Shares if any
circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the transferee's
representations are not accurate.
11. Treatment of Note. To the extent permitted by generally accepted
accounting principles, the Company will treat, account, and report the Note as
debt and not equity for accounting purposes and with respect to any returns
filed with Federal, state or local tax authorities.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
PERSONAL GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED PERSONAL GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this "Guaranty"),
dated as of February 5, 2015, is made by Shawn David Phillips and Erin Phillips
(the "Guarantors"), in favor of Green Acres Partners A, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company (the "Lender").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Strainwise, LLC, a Utah corporation (the "Company") and the Lender
are parties to a Senior Loan Agreement and 25% Convertible Promissory Note dated
January 30, 2015
WHEREAS, the Company and the Lender entered into an Amended and Restated
Senior Loan Agreement and an Amended and Restated 25% Convertible Promissory
Note, dated February 5, 2015 (the Senior Loan Agreement and the 25% Convertible
Promissory Note, dated January 30, 2015 and the Amended and Restated Senior Loan
Agreement and the Amended and Restated 25% Convertible Promissory Note, dated
February 5, 2015 will be collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents");
WHEREAS, this Guaranty amends and restates, but does not extinguish,
impair, novate or discharge the obligations evidenced by that certain Personal
Guaranty Agreement, dated January 30, 2015, executed by the Guarantors in favor
of the Lender;
WHEREAS, the Lender has based its investment in part upon the
representation that the Guarantors would guaranty the debts of the Company with
the Lender; and
WHEREAS, the Guarantors have determined that their execution, delivery, and
performance of this Guaranty directly benefits them, and is in their best
interests;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein
and in order to induce the Lender to enter into and perform the Loan Documents,
the Guarantors hereby agree with the Lender as follows:
1. Definitions. All terms used in this Guaranty, which are defined in the
Loan Documents and not otherwise defined herein, will have the same meanings
herein as set forth therein. The following terms shall have the following
meanings under this Guaranty:
"Material Adverse Effect" means any change or effect that is, or is
reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to the business, assets and
liabilities (taken together), financial condition or operations or results of
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided,
however, that none of the following shall be deemed (either alone or in
combination) to constitute such a change or effect: (a)(i) any adverse change
attributable to the announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by
this Guaranty; or (ii) any adverse change attributable to or conditions
generally affecting the United States economy or financial markets in general;
or (b) any act or threat of terrorism or war anywhere in the world, any armed
124
hostilities or terrorist activities anywhere in the world, any threat or
escalation of armed hostilities or terrorist activities anywhere in the world or
any governmental or other response or reaction to any of the foregoing.
2. Guaranty. The Guarantors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably,
guaranty the punctual payment, as and when due and payable, by stated maturity
or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company from time to time owing by it in
respect to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interest that
accrues after the commencement of any insolvency proceeding of the Company or
the Guarantors, whether or not the payment of such interest is unenforceable or
is not allowable due to the existence of such insolvency proceeding, and all
fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications, and all other
amounts due or to become due under any of the Loan Documents (such obligations,
to the extent not paid by the Company, being the "Guaranteed Obligations"), and
agree to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses) reasonably incurred by the Lender in enforcing any rights under this
Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors'
liability hereunder extends to all amounts that constitute part of the
Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Lender under the
Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due
to the existence of an insolvency proceeding involving the Company or the
Guarantors (each, a "Transaction Party").
3. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.
a. The Guarantors guaranty that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents,
regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect
in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the
Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantors under
this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the
Guarantors to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any
action is brought against any Transaction Party or whether any
Transaction Party is joined in any such action or actions. The
liability of the Guarantors under this Guaranty will be irrevocable,
absolute, and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably waive, to the extent permitted by law, any defenses it may
now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the
following:
i. any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or
any agreement or Guaranty or instrument relating thereto;
ii. any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan
Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional
credit to any Transaction Party or otherwise;
iii. any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations;
125
iv. any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate,
limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any
Transaction Party; or
v. any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations)
or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Lender
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge
of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or surety.
This Guaranty will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Lender or any other person upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.
b. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and will (i) remain in full
force and effect until the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and payment of
all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and will not terminate
for any reason prior to the Maturity Date of the Note (other than
payment in full of the Note) and (ii) be binding upon the Guarantors
and their successors and assigns. This Guaranty will inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and its successors, and
permitted pledgees, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the Lender may pledge, assign or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under and subject to the terms of any Loan Documents to any other
person, and such other person will thereupon become vested with all
the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lender herein or otherwise,
in each case as provided in such Loan Document.
4. Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantors
hereby waive promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notice
with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any
requirement that the Lender exhaust any right or take any action against any
Transaction Party or any other person. The Guarantors acknowledge that it will
receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly
made in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantors hereby waive any right to
revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in
nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the
future.
5. Subrogation. The Guarantors may not exercise any rights that they may
now or hereafter acquire against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor
that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the
Guarantors' obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any
right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the
Lender against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor, whether or not such
claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common
law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any
Transaction Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or
other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely
on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the
Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty have been paid in full in cash. If any
amount is paid to the Guarantors in violation of the immediately preceding
sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such
amount will be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and will forthwith be
paid to the Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and
126
all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for
any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty
thereafter arising. If (a) the Guarantors make payment to the Lender of all or
any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) all of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and all other amounts
payable under this Guaranty are be paid in full in cash, the Lender will, at the
Guarantors' request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantors
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty,
necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantors of an
interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by the
Guarantors.
6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Guarantors hereby
represent and warrant as follows:
a. The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantors of this
Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which the Guarantors are a party
(i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (ii) do not and will
not contravene any applicable law or any contractual restriction binding or
otherwise affecting on the Guarantors or their properties, (iii) do not and
will not result in or require the creation of any lien (other than pursuant
to any Loan Document) upon or with respect to any of their properties, and
(iv) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license,
authorization or approval applicable to it or their operations or any of
their properties.

or filing with, any governmental authority is required in connection with
the due execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantors of this
Guaranty or any of the other Loan Document to which the Guarantors are a
party.
c. Each of this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which the
Company or the Guarantors are or will be a party, when delivered, will be,
a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Guarantors, enforceable
against the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except as may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
suretyship or other similar laws.
d. There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Guarantors,
threatened action, suit or proceeding affecting the Guarantors or to which
any of the properties of the Guarantors are subject, before any court or
other governmental authority or any arbitrator that (i) if adversely
determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
or (ii) relates to this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to
which the Company or the Guarantors are a party or any transaction

Transaction Parties that may come under the control of the Lender.
7. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, the Lender may, and is hereby
authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the
Guarantors (any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantors) and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account

AMENDED AND RESTATED
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this "Guaranty"),
dated as of February 5, 2015 is made by Strainwise, Inc., a Colorado corporation
(the "Guarantor"), in favor of Green Acres Partners A, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company (the "Lender").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Strainwise, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Company") and the
Lender are parties to a Senior Loan Agreement and 25% Convertible Promissory
Note dated January 30, 2015;
WHEREAS, the Company and the Lender entered into an Amended and Restated
Senior Loan Agreement and an Amended and Restated 25% Convertible Promissory
Note, dated February 5, 2015 (the Senior Loan Agreement and the 25% Convertible
Promissory Note, dated January 30, 2015 and the Amended and Restated Senior Loan
Agreement and the Amended and Restated 25% Convertible Promissory Note, dated
February 5, 2015 will be collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents");
WHEREAS, this Guaranty amends and restates, but does not extinguish,
impair, novate or discharge the obligations evidenced by that certain Guaranty
Agreement, dated January 30, 2015, executed by the Guarantor(1) in favor of the
Lender;
WHEREAS, the Lender has based its investment in part upon the
representation that the Guarantor would guaranty the debts of the Company with
the Lender; and
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined that its execution, delivery, and
performance of this Guaranty directly benefits it, and is in its best interests.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein
and in order to induce the Lender to enter into and perform the Loan Documents,
the Guarantor hereby agrees with the Lender as follows:
24. Definitions. All terms used in this Guaranty, which are defined in the
Loan Documents and not otherwise defined herein, will have the same meanings
herein as set forth therein. The following terms shall have the following
meanings under this Guaranty:
"Material Adverse Effect" means any change or effect that is, or is
reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to the business, assets and
liabilities (taken together), financial condition or operations or results of
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided,
however, that none of the following shall be deemed (either alone or in
combination) to constitute such a change or effect: (a)(i) any adverse change
attributable to the announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by
133
this Guaranty; or (ii) any adverse change attributable to or conditions
generally affecting the United States economy or financial markets in general;
or (b) any act or threat of terrorism or war anywhere in the world, any armed
hostilities or terrorist activities anywhere in the world, any threat or
escalation of armed hostilities or terrorist activities anywhere in the world or
any governmental or other response or reaction to any of the foregoing.
25. Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably,
guaranties the punctual payment, when due and payable, by stated maturity or
otherwise, of all obligations of the Company from time to time owing by it in
respect to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interest that
accrues after the commencement of any insolvency proceeding of the Company or
the Guarantor, whether or not the payment of such interest is unenforceable or
is not allowable due to the existence of such insolvency proceeding, and all
fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications, and all other
amounts due or to become due under any of the Loan Documents (such obligations,
to the extent not paid by the Company, being the "Guaranteed Obligations"), and
agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses) reasonably incurred by the Lender in enforcing any rights under this
Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor's
liability hereunder extends to all amounts that constitute part of the
Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Lender under the
Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due
to the existence of an insolvency proceeding involving the Guarantor or the
Company (each, a "Transaction Party").
26. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.
a. The Guarantor guaranties that the Guaranteed Obligations will be
paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents,
regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in
any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lender
with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty
are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce such
obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any
Transaction Party or whether any Transaction Party is joined in any such
action or actions. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty will
be irrevocable, absolute, and unconditional irrespective of, and the
Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any
defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of
the following:
i. any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or
any agreement, Guaranty or instrument relating thereto;
ii. any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan
Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional
credit to any Transaction Party or otherwise;
134
iii. any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations;
iv. any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate,
limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any
Transaction Party; or
v. any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations)
or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Lender
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge
of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or surety.
This Guaranty will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Lender or any other person upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.
b. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and will (i) remain in
full force and effect until the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and payment of
all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and will not terminate
for any reason prior to the Maturity Date of the Note (other than
payment in full of the Note) and (ii) be binding upon the Guarantor
and his successors and assigns. This Guaranty will inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and its successors, and
permitted pledgees, transferees, and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the Lender may pledge, assign or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under and subject to the terms of any Loan Documents to any other
person, and such other person will thereupon become vested with all
the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lender herein or otherwise,
in each case as provided in such Loan Document.
27. Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor
hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notice
with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any
requirement that the Lender exhaust any right or take any action against any
Transaction Party or any other person. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will
receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly
made in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantor hereby waives any right to
revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in
nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the
future.
28. Subrogation. The Guarantor may not exercise any rights that it may now
or hereafter acquire against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor that
arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor's
obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, and
any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender against any
Transaction Party or any other guarantor, whether or not such claim, remedy or
right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including,
135
without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or
any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by
set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such
claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations
(other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and all other amounts payable under
this Guaranty have been paid in full in cash. If any amount is paid to the
Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior
to the later of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and
all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount will be held in trust
for the benefit of the Lender and will forthwith be paid to the Lender to be
credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed
Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If
(a) the Guarantor makes payment to the Lender of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than
inchoate indemnity obligations) and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty are be paid in full in cash, the Lender will, at the Guarantor's
request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents,
without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence
the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor.
29. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Guarantor hereby
represents and warrants as follows:
a. The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this
Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which the Guarantor is a party (i)
have been duly authorized by all necessary actions, (ii) do not and will
not contravene its charter or by-laws, or any applicable law or any
contractual restriction binding or otherwise affecting on the Guarantor or
its properties, (iii) do not and will not result in or require the creation
of any lien (other than pursuant to any Loan Document) upon or with respect
to any of its properties, and (iv) do not and will not result in any
default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or
nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to
it or its operations or any of its properties.
b. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
or filing with, any governmental authority is required in connection with
the due execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this
Guaranty or any of the other Loan Document to which the Guarantor is a
party.
c. Each of this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which the
Guarantor or the Company is or will be a party, when delivered, will be, a
legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against
the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, suretyship
or other similar laws.
d. There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Guarantor,
threatened action, suit or proceeding affecting the Guarantor or to which
any of the properties of the Guarantor are subject, before any court or
other governmental authority or any arbitrator that (i) if adversely
determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
or (ii) relates to this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to
which the Guarantor or the Company are a party or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby.
136
e. The Guarantor (i) has read and understands the terms and conditions
of the Loan Documents, and (ii) now has and will continue to have
independent means of obtaining information concerning the affairs,
financial condition, and business of the Transaction Parties, and has no
need of, or right to obtain from any Lender, any credit or other
information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the
Transaction Parties that may come under the control of any Lender.
30. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, the Lender may, and is hereby
authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the
Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantor) and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account
of the Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantor now or
hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, irrespective
of whether or not any Lender has made any demand under this Guaranty or any
other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or
unmatured. The Lender agrees to notify the Guarantor promptly after any such
set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the
Lender may have under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in law or
otherwise.
31. Successors and Assigns; Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the provisions hereof inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the
parties hereto. Nothing in this Guaranty, express or implied, is intended to

assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of
this Guaranty, except as expressly provided herein. The Guarantor may not assign

prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may assign this Guaranty, in
