Cannabis Global manufactures and distributes various cannabis products via its majority ownership of Natural Plant Extract, Inc., sells the Ethos Comply Bag, and generally conducts research and development in the areas of hemp, cannabis and consumer food goods.
We recently announced our acquisition of a 56.5%, controlling interest in Natural Plant Extract (NPE), which operates a licensed cannabis manufacturing and distribution business in Lynwood, California, holding a Type 7 California Manufacturing and a distribution license, allowing for cannabis product distribution anywhere in the state. We plan to use the Lynwood NPE operation, combined with our internally developed technologies, as a testbed to launch multi-state operations as soon as possible if cannabis is removed as a Scheduled substance from the federal Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”), and interstate commerce in cannabis is approved by the federal government. As of the date of this filing, cannabis remains a Schedule 1 controlled substance and so illegal under the CSA.
Our operations at the Natural Plant Extract facility emphasizes regulated cannabis product manufacturing and distribution.

We also have an active research and development program primarily focused on creating and commercializing engineered technologies that deliver hemp extracts and cannabinoids to the human body. Additionally, we invest, or provide managerial services, in specialized areas of the regulated hemp and cannabis industries.

Note 2. Going Concern Uncertainties
During this financial reporting period, the Company reported revenues representing a significant historical increase over previous fiscal
periods which we do not consider nominal as compared to previously disclosed revenues. Although our revenues are now growing, we are still
not generating positive operational cash flow.
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is an issue due to its net losses and negative cash flows from operations, and its need for additional financing to fund future operations. Management plans to obtain necessary funding from outside sources and through the sales of Company shares. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Based on the Company’s current level of expenditures, management believes that cash on hand is not adequate to fund operations for the next twelve months. Management of the Company is estimating approximately $2,500,000 will be required over the next twelve months to fully execute its business strategy. These can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain such funds.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those statements. We have made our best estimates of certain amounts contained in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. However, application of our accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates, assumptions, and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use a weighted average Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and NPE, in which the Company controls 56.4% of the common stock. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.
Inventory
Inventory is primarily comprised of work in
progress. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the market value for the inventory
is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of February 28, 2022, and August
31, 2021, market values of all of our inventory were at cost, and accordingly,
| 12 |
Deposits
Deposits is comprised of advance payments made
to third parties, primarily for inventory for which we have not yet taken title. When we take title to inventory for which deposits are
made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale (see “Costs of Revenues”
below). There were
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods, which approximate the life of the contract or service period.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and, based on a method of specific identification of any accounts receivable for which we deem the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances. In determining our need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, our actual experience may vary from our estimates. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay our fees, we may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that we collect retainers from our clients prior to performing significant services.
The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any,
is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments.
To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded
in operating expenses. As of February 28, 2022, and August 31, 2021, we had $
Property and Equipment, net
Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed into service and is recognized over the estimated useful life. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.”
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and we amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
| 13 |
Revenue Recognition
For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We determined to implement the cumulative effect adjustment approach to our implementation of FASB ASC Topic 606, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented. We intend to apply this method to any incomplete contracts we determine are subject to FASB ASC Topic 606 prospectively. As is more fully discussed below, we are of the opinion that none of our contracts for services or products contain significant financing components that require revenue adjustment under FASB ASC Topic 606.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we will recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a significant financing component exists in our consulting and product sales contracts. We examine and evaluate when our customers become liable to pay for goods and services; how much consideration is paid as compared to the cash selling price of the goods or services; and, the length of time between our performance and the receipt of payment.
Product Sales
Revenue from product sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained from the customer, the price is fixed and determinable when the order is placed, the product is shipped, and collectability is reasonably assured. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. Given the facts that (1) our customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product order; and, (2) the price negotiated in our product sales is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, we are not of the opinion that our product sales indicate or involve any significant customer financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the sales transaction, or would otherwise contain a significant financing component for us or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606.
Costs of Revenues
Our policy is to recognize the costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Costs of revenues include the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and include compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of restricted common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date. Stock-based compensation during the quarterly reporting periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 was $ and $, respectively.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the quarterly reporting periods ending February 28, 2022 and 2021, we incurred no income taxes and had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes.
| 14 |
Loss Contingencies
From time to time the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. On at least a quarterly basis, consistent with ASC 450-20-50-1C, if the Company determines that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred, or is reasonably estimable, regardless of whether the Company accrued for such a loss (or any portion of that loss), the Company will confer with its legal counsel, consistent with ASC 450. If the material loss is determinable or reasonably estimable, the Company will record it in its accounts and as a liability on the balance sheet. If the Company determines that such an estimate cannot be made, the Company's policy is to disclose a demonstration of its attempt to estimate the loss or range of losses before concluding that an estimate cannot be made, and to disclose it in the notes to the financial statements under Contingent Liabilities.
We report net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
During three and six months ending February 28, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a net loss. The diluted weighted average shares calculation
for the three and six months ended February 28, 2022 excludes shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding
convertible debt, and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred stock as of February 28, 2022
as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

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

On February 16, 2021, we purchased shares of common stock of NPE from Alan Tsai, in exchange for the issuance of common shares of the Company. Other than with respect to the transaction, there was no material relationship between Mr. Tsai and us. By virtue of the transaction, we acquired 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE, bringing our total beneficial ownership in NPE to 56.5%. The transfer of control constituted an acquisition of NPE by the Company (the “NPE Acquisition”). For the three month period following the one year anniversary of the closing date, Mr. Tsai has the sole and irrevocable option to require the Company to repurchase the common shares issued to Mr. Tsai. If the value of the shares at the time notice is given is less than $150,000, Mr. Tsai will receive $150,000. If the value of the shares at the time notices is given is greater than $150,000, then Mr. Tsai will receive the market value of the shares.
As a result of the transaction, we became party to a Shareholder Agreement with respect to our ownership over the NPE Shares, dated June 5, 2020, by and among Alan Tsai, Robert Hymers III, Betterworld Ventures, LLC (“BWV”), Marijuana Company of America, Inc. and NPE.

Mr. Edward Manolos is a director of both parties to the agreement and this the agreement was an agreement between related parties. The parties agreed to finance a regulated and licensed laboratory to produce various cannabis products under the legal framework outlined by the City of Lynwood, California, Los Angeles County and the State of California. We own a controlling interest in Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc., which operates a licensed cannabis manufacturing operation in Lynwood, California. As its contribution the joint venture, MCOA agreed to purchase and install equipment for joint venture operations, which will then be rented to the joint venture, and also provide funding relating to marketing the products produced by the capital equipment. We agreed to provide use of its manufacturing and distribution licenses; access to its Lynwood, California facility; use of the specific areas within the Lynwood Facility suitable for the types of manufacturing selected by the joint venture; and, management expertise require to carry on the joint venture’s operations.

On May 12, 2021, we entered into a material definitive agreement not made in the ordinary course of its business. The parties to the material definitive agreement are the Registrant and Marijuana Company of America, Inc., a Utah corporation (“MCOA”).

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

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
| • | Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets; |
| • | Level 2 — Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities; and |
| • | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities. |
All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
As of February 28, 2022, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following items as of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021:

The total impact to the Company’s
consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended February 28, 2022 was a gain of $
Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurement. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

Overview
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
The disclosure is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Description of Business
Cannabis Global operates multiple cannabis businesses in California. The Company also has an active research and development programs in hemp and cannabis. Our previous research and development of industrial hemp, and industrial hemp-based CBD products, are currently suspended pending regulatory guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The Company operates and manages Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc. (NPE) which holds two active California cannabis licenses: (i) a Type 7 Manufacturing License; and, (ii) a Distribution License. These licenses allow NPE to distribute cannabis products in the State of California. Our operations at the NPE facility emphasize product manufacturing and distribution. We began taking customer orders for products manufactured at the NPE facility on April 21, 2021. These products included several types of cannabis products, including
• Cannabis flower packaged in various weights, which are sold to California licensed cannabis retailers and distributors;
• Cannabis Pre-rolls, which are sold to California licensed cannabis retailers and distributors; and,
• Cannabis edible products, which are sold to California licensed cannabis retailers and distributor
The cannabis products are Schedule 1 Controlled Substances under the CSA, and so are illegal under federal law.
Our sales from the above product categories amount to 97% of our operating revenues. Our cannabis research and development efforts have not generated material revenue as of the date of this Prospectus
On April 18, 2020, we formed a subsidiary Hemp You Can Feel, Inc., a California corporation (“HYCF”), as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. HYCF will be engaged in research and development of hemp and CBD products. However, HYCF’s operations are currently suspended pending regulatory guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In April, 2021, we signed a cannabis distribution agreement with Northern Lights Distribution, Inc. (NLD), a wholly owned subsidiary of NPE. NLD has a California cannabis distribution agreement allowing it to distribute cannabis and cannabis products in California.

Cannabis-Related Research and Development
Cannabis Global also has an active research and development program primarily focused on creating and commercialize engineered technologies delivering hemp extracts and cannabinoids to the human body. Additionally, we invest, or provide managerial services, in specialized areas of the regulated hemp and cannabis industries. Thus far, the Company has filed six provisional patents, three non-provisional patents.
Our R&D programs included the following:
| 1. | Development of new routes and vehicles for hemp extract and cannabinoid delivery to the human body. |
| 2. | Production of unique polymeric nanoparticles and fibers for use in oral and dermal cannabinoid delivery. |
| 3. | Research and commercialization of new methodologies to isolate and/or concentrate various cannabinoids and other substances that comprise industrial hemp oil and other extracts. |
| 4. | Establishment of new methods to increase the bioavailability of cannabinoids to the human body utilizing nanoparticles and other proven bioenhancers, including naturally occurring and insect produced glycosides. |
| 5. | Development of other novel inventions for the delivery of cannabinoids to the human body, which at this time are considered trade secrets by the Company. |
The Company’s strategy is to develop a growing portfolio of intellectual property relating to the processing of hemp extracts and cannabinoids into forms that are easily and efficiently delivered to the human body and to companion animals.
The Company owns no issued patents. The Company’s patent activity to date is disclosed below. There are two categories of patents: (i) expired provisional patent applications which the Company now maintains as trade secrets; and, (ii) filed patent applications currently pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (U.S.P.T.O.) and the International Patent Cooperation Union.
Expired Provisional Patents
A provisional patent application is a document issued by the U.S.P.T.O., that helps protect a new invention from being copied during the 12-month period before a formal patent application is filed.

Filed Pending Patent Applications
A Cannaboside Composition and Method to Produce
This patent application was filed on January 18, 2021 (U.S.P.T.O. #17/151,607) and is currently pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company currently filed this patent application for international patent protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT/US2021/013830). The Patent Cooperation Treaty was ratified by the United States and 152 other countries which constitute the International Patent Cooperation Union for the cooperation in the filing, searching, and examination, of applications for the protection of inventions, and for rendering special technical services amongst the treaty members. The application is pending. This patent application seeks protection for a method to allow the easier mixing of cannabis into foods and beverages. Generally, cannabis extracts are oil-based and do not mix well with water-based foods and beverages. The technology invented by the company involves feeding oil-based cannabis extracts to insects. The insects then process the extracts through their bodies resulting in water-based compounds being excreted in the insect bodies. These newly created water-soluble compounds can then be harvested for use in foods, beverages, or pharmaceuticals. The patent claims coverage of both the process to create the compounds, and the use of the compounds in foodstuffs and pharmaceutical preparations.

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

Management Services for Whisper Weed
On July 22, 2020, we signed a management agreement with Whisper Weed, Inc., a California corporation (“Whisper Weed”). Edward Manolos, our director, is a shareholder in Whisper Weed (see “Related Party Transactions”). Whisper Weed conducts licensed delivery of cannabis products in California. The material definitive agreement requires the parties to create a separate entity, CGI Whisper W, Inc. in California as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The business of CGI Whisper W, Inc. will be to provide management services for the lawful delivery of cannabis in the State of California. The Company will manage CGI Whisper W, Inc. operations. In exchange for the Company providing management services to Whisper Weed through the auspices of CGI Whisper W, Inc., the Company will receive as consideration a quarterly fee of 51% of the net profits earned by Whisper Weed. As separate consideration for the transaction, the Company agreed to issue to Whisper Weed $150,000 in the Company’s restricted common stock, valued for purposes of issuance based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty days preceding the entry into the material definitive agreement. Additionally, the Company agreed to amend its articles of incorporation to designate a new class of preferred shares. The preferred class will be designated and issued to Whisper Weed in an amount equal to two times the quarterly payment made to the Company. The preferred shares will be convertible into the Company’s common stock after 6 months and shall be senior to other debts of the Company. The conversion to common stock will be based on a value of common stock equal to at least two times the actual sales for the previous 90 day period The Company agreed to include in the designation the obligation to make a single dividend payment to Whisper Weed equal to 90% of the initial quarterly net profits payable by Whisper Weed. As of February 28, 2022, the Company has not issued the common or preferred shares, and as of the date of this filing the business is in the development stage.

Sales and Marketing
The Company recently began sales and marketing activities for its products, with new products being released for sales on April 21, 2021. The Company primarily plans to market its non-psychoactive products via its own brands and plans to sell its psychoactive products into permitted and licensed entities only within the State of California.
Competition
We operated and are entering markets that are highly competitive.
Relative to our prospects for commercializing polymeric nanoparticles and nanofibers, there are many competitors with various approaches to cannabinoid infusion for foods, beverages and other consumer products. While these currently available technologies are not directly competitive with us, such technologies may be viewed as being directly competitive by the marketplace in the future. Many of the current market participants are well established with considerable financial backing. We expect the quality and composition of the competitive market in the hemp processing environment to continue to evolve as the industry matures. Additionally, increased competition is possible to the extent that new states and geographies enter into the marketplace as a result of continued enactment of regulatory and legislative changes that de-criminalize and regulate cannabis and hemp products, including the 2018 Farm Bill. We believe the contemporaneous growth of the industry as a whole will result in new customers entering the marketplace, thereby further mitigating the impact of competition on our expected operations and results relating to our hemp processing businesses.
Relative to our non-psychoactive cannabis extract powdered drink business currently paused awaiting guidance from the FDA, there are relatively few market participants in this sector, but management of the Company believes the competitive situation will advance quickly over the coming months as new companies target this potentially lucrative market opportunity. Additionally, while large beverage industry participants have yet to launch products in this area, we believe such market entrances are likely as the regulatory environment is clarified by the FDA. This could significantly affect our ability to achieve market success.
We believe the contemporaneous growth of the cannabis beverage sector and the industry as a whole will result in new customers entering the marketplace, thereby further mitigating the impact of competition on our expected operations and results relating to hemp cultivation and processing business and joint venture.
The psychoactive cannabis sector is also highly competitive with many participants being better capitalized. The Company plans to distinguish its products based on both quality and brand appearance.
Employees
As of February 28, 2022, we have three employees, including Arman Tabatabaei, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Company also relies on the services of multiple contractors and service providers that perform various R&D, operational and financial related services for the organization.

Results of Operations
For the Three months Ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021
Company revenues for the quarterly financial period ending February 28, 2022, were $627,390 compared to $25,816 reported during the quarterly financial period ending February 28, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to several factors, including: 1) inclusion of consolidated revenues after acquiring a controlling position in Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc. 2) reorganization of our distribution business and the signing of new customer accounts, and 3) beginning of contract manufacturing for cannabis products.
During the financial period ending February 28, 2022, cost of goods sold was $767,896 compared to $6,653 for the year earlier period. The increase was mainly attributable the inclusion of consolidated revenues and associated costs of goods sold after acquiring a controlling position in Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc. While the quarterly financial period ending February 28, 2022 reports NPE related revenues, no such revenues and cost of goods sold were included during the quarterly financial period ending February 28, 2021,
During the financial period ending February 28, 2022, the Company increased operating expense to $938,224 from $431,57 for the financial period ending February 28, 2021. These increases were mainly attributable to higher fees for amortization expense related to final purchase price allocation, increase in professional fees. These increases were offset by decreases in general and administrative fees for the financial period ending February 28, 2022 compared to the financial period ending February 28, 2021, respectively. The increase in general and administrative fees was primarily due to the reorganization of business activities after assuming control of NPE.
Interest expenses for the financial period ending November 28, 2022 were $2,487,747 compared to $1,933,728 for the financial period ending February 28, 2021. The increase was attributable to high levels of funding obtain to finance product development and infrastructure in anticipation of increased customer orders and shipments.
During the financial period ending February 28, 2021, net loss was $697,125 compared to net loss of $2,110,770 for the financial period ending February 28, 2021. The net loss in the current period was primarily due to the gain on change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1,715,626.

Our Company entered into a one-year lease during August of 2019 for a commercial food production facility located in Los Angeles, California.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021, however we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to derivative financial instruments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely and reliable financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As of the quarter ended February 28, 2022, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer completed an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), to determine the existence of any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant's financial reporting.
Based on that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective as of February 28, 2022.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Historical Development
We incorporated in Nevada in 2005 under the name MultiChannel Technologies Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Octillion Corporation, a development stage technology company focused on the identification, acquisition and development of emerging solar energy and solar related technologies. In April, 2005, we changed our name to MicroChannel Technologies, Inc., and in June, 2008, began trading on the OTC Markets under the trading symbol “MCTC.” Our business focused on research and development of a patented intellectual properties combining physical, chemical, and biological cues at the “cellular” level to facilitate peripheral nerve regeneration.
On June 27, 2018, we changed domiciles from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware, and thereafter reorganized under the Delaware Holding Company Statute. On or about July 12, 2018, we formed two subsidiaries for the purpose of effecting the reorganization. We incorporated MCTC Holdings, Inc. and MCTC Holdings Inc. incorporated MicroChannel Corp. We then effected a merger involving the three constituent entities, and under the terms of the merger we were merged into MicroChannel Corp., with MicroChannel Corp. surviving and our separate corporate existence ceasing.

| Going Concern Uncertainties | Note 2. Going Concern Uncertainties
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $14,015,507 as of February 28, 2022, and the Company had a net loss of $329,047 and used cash in operations of $453,717. The Company expects to incur additional losses as it executes its business strategy in the cannabis and cannabinoid marketplaces. The Company will be subject to the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies. The Company may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so could cause the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition to suffer. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance date of these financial statements.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is an issue due to its net losses and negative cash flows from operations, and its need for additional financing to fund future operations. Management plans to obtain necessary funding from outside sources and through the sales of Company shares. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available, can be obtained on terms reasonable to the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Based on the Company’s current level of expenditures, management believes that cash on hand is not adequate to fund operations for the next twelve months. Management of the Company is estimating approximately $2,500,000 will be required over the next twelve months to fully execute its business strategy. These can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain such funds. |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those statements. We have made our best estimates of certain amounts contained in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. However, application of our accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates, assumptions, and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use a weighted average Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and NPE, in which the Company controls 56.4% of the common stock. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.
Inventory
Inventory is primarily comprised of work in progress. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of February 28, 2022, and August 31, 2021, market values of all of our inventory were at cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowance was recognized.
Deposits
Deposits is comprised of advance payments made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which we have not yet taken title. When we take title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale (see “Costs of Revenues” below). There were no deposits as of February 28, 2022.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods, which approximate the life of the contract or service period.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and, based on a method of specific identification of any accounts receivable for which we deem the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances. In determining our need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, our actual experience may vary from our estimates. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay our fees, we may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that we collect retainers from our clients prior to performing significant services.
The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of February 28, 2022, and August 31, 2021, we had $0 allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed into service and is recognized over the estimated useful life. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.”
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and we amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We determined to implement the cumulative effect adjustment approach to our implementation of FASB ASC Topic 606, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented. We intend to apply this method to any incomplete contracts we determine are subject to FASB ASC Topic 606 prospectively. As is more fully discussed below, we are of the opinion that none of our contracts for services or products contain significant financing components that require revenue adjustment under FASB ASC Topic 606.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we will recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a significant financing component exists in our consulting and product sales contracts. We examine and evaluate when our customers become liable to pay for goods and services; how much consideration is paid as compared to the cash selling price of the goods or services; and, the length of time between our performance and the receipt of payment.
Product Sales
Revenue from product sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained from the customer, the price is fixed and determinable when the order is placed, the product is shipped, and collectability is reasonably assured. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. Given the facts that (1) our customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product order; and, (2) the price negotiated in our product sales is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, we are not of the opinion that our product sales indicate or involve any significant customer financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the sales transaction, or would otherwise contain a significant financing component for us or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606.
Costs of Revenues
Our policy is to recognize the costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Costs of revenues include the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and include compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of restricted common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date. Stock-based compensation during the quarterly reporting periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 was $ and $, respectively.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the quarterly reporting periods ending February 28, 2022 and 2021, we incurred no income taxes and had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes.
Loss Contingencies
From time to time the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. On at least a quarterly basis, consistent with ASC 450-20-50-1C, if the Company determines that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred, or is reasonably estimable, regardless of whether the Company accrued for such a loss (or any portion of that loss), the Company will confer with its legal counsel, consistent with ASC 450. If the material loss is determinable or reasonably estimable, the Company will record it in its accounts and as a liability on the balance sheet. If the Company determines that such an estimate cannot be made, the Company's policy is to disclose a demonstration of its attempt to estimate the loss or range of losses before concluding that an estimate cannot be made, and to disclose it in the notes to the financial statements under Contingent Liabilities.
We report net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.

With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between us, or any of our affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, we acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, we agreed to: 1) pay Hymers twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. Hymers has the right at any time six (6) months after the issuance date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the common stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall we issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued, more than the maximum number of shares of common stock that we can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the common stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, we recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903.
On June 11, 2021, we amended the material definitive agreement with Hymers. The amendment relieved us from having to make monthly payments of $20,000 to Hymers in exchange for our issuing a convertible promissory note to Hymers for the balance owed of $440,000.
On January 27, 2021, the Company acquired an additional 18.8% interest in NPE from Edward Manolos, a Director of the Company and a related party. The Company issued 11,383,929 shares of common stock, which had a fair value of $1,821,429.
On February 16, 2021, we purchased shares of common stock of NPE from Alan Tsai, in exchange for the issuance of common shares of the Company. Other than with respect to the transaction, there was no material relationship between Mr. Tsai and us. By virtue of the transaction, we acquired 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE, bringing our total beneficial ownership in NPE to 56.5%. The transfer of control constituted an acquisition of NPE by the Company (the “NPE Acquisition”). For the three month period following the one year anniversary of the closing date, Mr. Tsai has the sole and irrevocable option to require the Company to repurchase the common shares issued to Mr. Tsai. If the value of the shares at the time notice is given is less than $150,000, Mr. Tsai will receive $150,000. If the value of the shares at the time notices is given is greater than $150,000, then Mr. Tsai will receive the market value of the shares.
As a result of the transaction, we became party to a Shareholder Agreement with respect to our ownership over the NPE Shares, dated June 5, 2020, by and among Alan Tsai, Robert Hymers III, Betterworld Ventures, LLC (“BWV”), Marijuana Company of America, Inc. and NPE. The Joinder Agreement contains terms and conditions including, but not limited to: the ownership and management of NPE, rights of shareholders concerning the transfer of shares in NPE, pre-emptive rights, drag-along rights, confidentiality, and term and termination.
The NPE acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805 as a result of the transfer of control.
The following information summarizes the purchase consideration and allocation of the fair values assigned to the assets at the purchase date:
Immediately prior to obtaining control, our total investment in NPE was adjusted to the preliminary fair value of $3,324,956, resulting in a loss on investment of $359,391 booked during the year ended August 31, 2021. As the Company completed its assessment of the fair value of assets assumed and liabilities incurred, the Company recognized equity income of $934,868 during the six months ended February 28, 2022, to arrive at a total initial non-controlling interest balance of $4,926,000 as of the acquisition date. The Company also adjusted the previously recognized loss on business of $454,768 based on the final fair value adjustments.

Related Parties
During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $133,101 in exchange for accrued expenses owed to related parties, of which $79,333 is payable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and $53,768 is payable to the Robert L. Hymers III. The notes mature two years from the respective issuance date and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. The noteholders shall have the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a variable conversion price of 50% of the average of the previous twenty (20) trading day closing prices of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment. As a result of the variable conversion prices, upon issuance, the Company recognized total debt discount of $133,101, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. On May 22, 2020, the Chief Executive Officer converted $79,333 in principal and $2,608 of accrued interest into shares of common stock to be issued having a fair value of $232,792. The conversion resulted in the elimination of $70,313 of remaining debt discount, the elimination of $231,632 of derivative liabilities, and a $10,468 gain on conversion that resulted from a related party and was therefore included in Additional paid-in capital. As of August 31, 2020, the carrying value of the remaining note with the former chief financial officer was $15,884, net of debt discount of $37,884 and accrued interest was $3,138. On December 9, 2020, Mr. Hymers converted all principal of $53,768 and all accrued interest of $4,626 into shares of common stock.
On April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer (Robert L. Hymers III, hereinafter referred to as the “CFO”) whereby the CFO resigned and the Company issued a promissory note for $30,000, which represented the remaining amount owed to the CFO for services rendered. The note matures December 31, 2020 and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. The noteholder has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the note, at any time, into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.02 per share, subject to adjustment. As a result of the beneficial conversion price, upon issuance, the Company recognized debt discount of $30,000, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. As of August 31, 2020, the carrying value of the note was $15,061, net of debt discount of $14,939 and accrued interest was $1,011. On October 9, 2020, Mr. Hymers converted the note payable into shares of common stock.
On August 21, 2020 the Company, issued a convertible note pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA) to acquire shares of common stock of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc., a California corporation (“NPE”), representing 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE on a fully diluted basis. With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between the Registrant, or any of the Registrant’s affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, the Registrant acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, the registrant agreed to: 1) pay Hymers Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. The Holder shall have the right at any time six (6) months after the Issuance Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Registrant issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, the Company recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903. At the time the note becomes convertible, the Company will recognize a derivative liability at fair value related to the embedded conversion option at that time. Prior to these transactions, Robert Hymers III and Alan Tsai each sold equity interest representing a total of 18.8% of the outstanding equity interest of NPE to Edward Manolos, a Director and preferred stockholder of the Company in a private transaction. As a result of these two transactions, the Company beneficially controls approximately 37% of the equity of NPE. After this transaction, a venture capital company controls 40% of the equity interests in NPE, the Company, Alan Tsai and Edward Manolos each control 18.8% and one other entity controls 3.5%. As of November 30, 2021, the principal balance on the note payable to Mr. Hymers was $690,000 and accrued interest was $86,203. On February 11, 2022, the Company authorized and entered into an exchange agreement with Mr. Hymers to exchange the remaining $690,000 principal and $164,156 of accrued interest into a new $854,156 note (“exchange note”). The exchange note is convertible at a fixed price of $0.0025 per share and matures on February 11, 2023. As of February 28, 2022, the principal balance on the note payable to Mr. Hymers was $854,156 and accrued interest was $2,476.
The Company evaluated its interest in NPE as of August 31, 2020 under ASC 810. Management determined that it had a variable interest in NPE, but that NPE does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity, and does not have an indirect voting interest of greater than 50%. Based on these factors, the investment in NPE by the Company, the investment in NPE will be accounted for as an equity method investment under the measurement alternative available under ASC 321 with the Company recording its share of the profits and losses of NPE at each reporting period. The initial investment balance was $1,714,903 based on the initial fair value estimate of the note payable and convertible note payable issued as consideration for the investment. The Company subsequently acquired control of NPE and began consolidating the results of operations into its financial statements, as described in Note 7.
As of August 31, 2021, the Company was in default of the $540,000 note payable to Robert Hymers. On January 3, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Robert Hymers concerning five delinquent payments totaling $100,000, whereby 1,585,791 shares of common stock were issued in settlement of those payments. As of February 28, 2021, the Company missed five additionally $20,000 payments, and remains in default of this agreement. On June 11, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Robert Hymers. As of the date of the amendment, the Company owed Mr. Hymers $440,000. The parties agreed to exchange the Company’s obligations to make monthly payments under the stock purchase agreement for a Convertible Note for the same amount. The note matures on June 11, 2022, bears interest at 10% and is convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.004 per share, subject to standard anti-dilution provisions. During the six months ended February 28, 2022, the lender converted principal of $40,000 into shares of common stock. As of February 28, 2022, the carrying value of the note was $275,836, net of discount of $124,164, and accrued interest was $29,600.
On December 28, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement with Robert Hymers, for $24,774 in settlement of outstanding accounts payable. The note was convertible at 55% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock for the 15 days prior conversion. On December 29, 2021, the Company issued shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of a total of $24,774 in principal.

| Derivative Liability and Fair Value Measurement | Note 10. Derivative Liability and Fair Value Measurement
Upon the issuance of the convertible promissory notes with variable conversion prices and fixed conversion prices with reset provisions, the Company determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option embedded in the debentures should be accounted for at fair value, as a derivative liability, as the Company cannot determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all potential future conversion transactions.
At the issuance date of the convertible notes payable during the six months ended February 28, 2022, the Company estimated the fair value of all embedded derivatives of $2,742,372 using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of %, (2) expected volatility of % to %, (3) risk-free interest rate of % to %, and (4) expected life of years to years.
On February 28, 2022, the Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives of $1,942,485 using the Black Scholes Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of %, (2) expected volatility of %, (3) risk-free interest rate of% to %, and (4) expected life of to years.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon Level 3 inputs.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
As of February 28, 2022, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following items as of February 28, 2022 and August 31, 2021:
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the six months ended February 28, 2022:
The total impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended February 28, 2022 was a gain of $3,488,560, representing the impact of retirement of derivative liabilities from payments on convertible promissory notes and the change in fair value of remaining derivative liabilities as of February 28, 2022. Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurement. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use a weighted average Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
|
| Consolidation | Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and NPE, in which the Company controls 56.4% of the common stock. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.
|
| Inventory | Inventory
Inventory is primarily comprised of work in progress. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of February 28, 2022, and August 31, 2021, market values of all of our inventory were at cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowance was recognized.
|
| Deposits | Deposits
Deposits is comprised of advance payments made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which we have not yet taken title. When we take title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale (see “Costs of Revenues” below). There were no deposits as of February 28, 2022.
|
| Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets | Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods, which approximate the life of the contract or service period.
|
| Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value of face amount less any allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and, based on a method of specific identification of any accounts receivable for which we deem the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for those balances. In determining our need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, our actual experience may vary from our estimates. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay our fees, we may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that we collect retainers from our clients prior to performing significant services.
The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. As of February 28, 2022, and August 31, 2021, we had $0 allowance for doubtful accounts.
|
| Property and Equipment, net | Property and Equipment, net
Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Depreciation of capitalized construction in progress costs, a component of property and equipment, net, begins once the underlying asset is placed into service and is recognized over the estimated useful life. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.”
|
| Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets.
|
| Beneficial Conversion Feature | Beneficial Conversion Feature
If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and we amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
|
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We determined to implement the cumulative effect adjustment approach to our implementation of FASB ASC Topic 606, with no restatement of the comparative periods presented. We intend to apply this method to any incomplete contracts we determine are subject to FASB ASC Topic 606 prospectively. As is more fully discussed below, we are of the opinion that none of our contracts for services or products contain significant financing components that require revenue adjustment under FASB ASC Topic 606.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, we will recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a significant financing component exists in our consulting and product sales contracts. We examine and evaluate when our customers become liable to pay for goods and services; how much consideration is paid as compared to the cash selling price of the goods or services; and, the length of time between our performance and the receipt of payment.
|
| Product Sales | Product Sales
Revenue from product sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained from the customer, the price is fixed and determinable when the order is placed, the product is shipped, and collectability is reasonably assured. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. Given the facts that (1) our customers exercise discretion in determining the timing of when they place their product order; and, (2) the price negotiated in our product sales is fixed and determinable at the time the customer places the order, we are not of the opinion that our product sales indicate or involve any significant customer financing that would materially change the amount of revenue recognized under the sales transaction, or would otherwise contain a significant financing component for us or the customer under FASB ASC Topic 606.
|
| Costs of Revenues | Costs of Revenues
Our policy is to recognize the costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Costs of revenues include the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and include compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
|
| Stock-Based Compensation |
Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of restricted common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. We recognize related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award, which to date has been one year from the grant date. Stock-based compensation during the quarterly reporting periods ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 was $ and $, respectively.
|
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the quarterly reporting periods ending February 28, 2022 and 2021, we incurred no income taxes and had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes.
|
| Loss Contingencies | Loss Contingencies
From time to time the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. On at least a quarterly basis, consistent with ASC 450-20-50-1C, if the Company determines that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred, or is reasonably estimable, regardless of whether the Company accrued for such a loss (or any portion of that loss), the Company will confer with its legal counsel, consistent with ASC 450. If the material loss is determinable or reasonably estimable, the Company will record it in its accounts and as a liability on the balance sheet. If the Company determines that such an estimate cannot be made, the Company's policy is to disclose a demonstration of its attempt to estimate the loss or range of losses before concluding that an estimate cannot be made, and to disclose it in the notes to the financial statements under Contingent Liabilities.
|
| Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share |
We report net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
