NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS

Flowhub SAFE

On November 7, 2018, we invested $250,000 in Flowhub Holdings, LLC (“Flowhub”) through a simple agreement for future equity (the “Flowhub SAFE”). The Flowhub SAFE provides us with the right to either (a) future equity in Flowhub when it completes an equity financing, or (b) future equity in Flowhub or cash proceeds if there is a liquidity event. If there is an equity financing, Flowhub would issue to us (a) a number of standard preferred units equal to our investment divided by the price per share of the standard preferred units if the pre-money valuation is less than or equal to the valuation cap ($35 million); or (b) a number of safe preferred units equal to the purchase amount divided by the valuation cap ($35 million), if the pre-money valuation is greater than the valuation cap. If there is a liquidity event, we will receive either (a) a cash payment equal to the purchase amount or (b) automatically receive a number of common units equal to the purchase amount divided by the liquidity price. Our investment in the Flowhub SAFE is recorded on the cost method of accounting and included under investment on the consolidated balance sheet and is shown as long-term, as it is not readily convertible into cash.

Desert Created Company LLC / DB Products Arizona, LLC

In January 2018, we entered into a limited liability company operating agreement with DNFC LLC (“DNFC”), pursuant to the formation of Desert Created Company LLC (“Desert Created”). Each party owned a 50% interest in Desert Created, which took over the assets and operations of DB Products Arizona, LLC (“DB Arizona”). Desert Created produces and distributes cannabis-infused edible products in Arizona. In connection with the formation of Desert Created, we contributed 75,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, to members of DNFC (collectively, the “DNFC Sellers”). This pricing was agreed to in November 2017, however, the transaction did not close until January 2018. In the interim, our stock price increased substantially, which was the reason for the initial impairment noted below. In October 2018, we sold our 50% interest to DNFC for cash consideration of $23,045 and, accordingly, impaired the remaining balance.

The 75,000 shares of our common stock were valued at $461,000, based on the closing price per share of our common stock on January 24, 2018, or $7.23 per share, reduced by a discount of 15% due to the restrictions on the DNFC Seller’s ability to immediately sell such shares. The warrants were valued at $518,000, using the Black-Scholes model, assuming a life of 5.0 years, a risk-free interest rate of 1.2% and a volatility of 150%. The fair value of Desert Created was estimated based on the relative fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, consisting primarily of cash, accounts receivable, equipment and accounts payable.

The purchase price allocation was as follows:


Common Stock	$	461,000
Warrants		518,000
Initial investment in Desert Created	$	979,000
Fair value of Desert Created	$	347,000
Percentage ownership		50	%
Fair value of 50% of Desert Created		173,500
Initial investment in Desert Created		979,000
