PINEAPPLE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2021
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
Pineapple, Inc. (“Pineapple” or the “Company”) was originally formed in the state of Nevada under the name Global Resources, Ltd. on August 3, 1983. On April 12, 1999, the Company changed its name to “Helixphere Technologies Inc.” On October 2, 2013, the Company changed its name to “New China Global Inc.”
On October 30, 2013, the Company filed its Articles of Continuance with the Secretary of State of Wyoming pursuant to which the Company was re-domiciled from the State of Nevada to the State of Wyoming. On July 15, 2014, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “New China Global Inc.” to “Globestar Industries.”
On August 24, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “BBC Agreement”) with Better Business Consultants, Inc. (“BBC”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of California on January 29, 2015, and Shane Oei, a majority shareholder of the Company at the time. Pursuant to the terms of the BBC Agreement, BBC shareholders exchanged all of the issued and outstanding capital of BBC for an aggregate of newly and duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company. Upon closing, BBC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, Mr. Oei and Gary Stockport, another former shareholder of the Company at the time, cancelled and shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, in connection with the BBC Agreement. As the owners and management of BBC obtained voting and operating control of the Company after the share exchange and Globestar Industries was non-operating, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of BBC, accompanied by the exchange of previously issued common stock for outstanding common stock of Globestar Industries, which was recorded at a nominal value. Upon consummation of the BBC Agreement, the Company ceased its prior business of providing educational services and continued the business of BBC as its sole line of business. BBC has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Pineapple Express One LLC, a California limited liability company, Pineapple Express Two LLC, a California limited liability company, and Pineapple Properties Investments, LLC, a Washington limited liability company.
On September 3, 2015, the Company changed its name to “Pineapple Express, Inc.” from “Globestar Industries.” The Company’s name had no relation to the 2008 motion picture produced by Columbia Pictures.
On February 12, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger to acquire all of the assets and assume several liabilities of THC Industries, Inc. (“THC Parent”), a California corporation, through a two-step merger (the “THC Merger”) by and among the Company, THC Parent, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary THC Industries, LLC (“THC”), a California limited liability company, and the Company’s former wholly owned subsidiary THCMergerCo., Inc., a California corporation. In June 2016, the Company began to anticipate significant difficulties in monetizing the value of the acquired intangible assets and recorded an impairment of those assets.
On August 5, 2016, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with THC Industries, Inc. because of late payments. This sparked a temporary foreclosure of assets. On March 27, 2017, the Company entered into a Standstill and Waiver Agreement with THC Industries, Inc. because of additional late payments. On June 22, 2017, the Company successfully completed the conditions of the Standstill and Waiver Agreement signed between the parties on March 27, 2017. The Company made its payments and completed its conditions in full for the Forbearance Agreement. The Company gained back control of the assets relative to the purchase transaction.
ln addition to having stakes in the foregoing business ventures, the Company was also assigned a patent for the proprietary Top Shelf Safe Display System (“SDS”) for use in permitted cannabis dispensaries and delivery vehicles across the United States and internationally (where permitted by law), on July 20th, 2016, by Sky Island, Inc. (the “SDS Patent”) via a Patent Assignment Agreement (the “Patent Assignment Agreement”). The SDS Patent was originally applied for and filed on August 11, 2015, by Sky Island, Inc. and received its notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office on March 22, 2017.
It
is anticipated that the Top-Shelf SDS product shall retail for $
On March 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to sell BBC and its three wholly owned subsidiaries, Pineapple Express One LLC, Pineapple Express Two LLC, and Pineapple Property Investments, LLC to a related party, Jaime Ortega, in exchange for Mr. Ortega forgiving a debt of $ owed to Sky Island, Inc., a related party of the Company owned by Mr. Ortega, so that Mr. Ortega can fund and prosecute litigation claims and settle debts for the subsidiaries resulting from unconsummated parcel purchases which the Company feels was purposely circumvented by third parties involved in those transactions. Mr. Ortega, as an interested party, took these steps so the Company’s claims can be addressed against the parties at fault without negatively impacting or distracting the Company. The sale of BBC and its subsidiaries also included the transfer of liabilities owed by those entities. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, as this subsidiary was sold to an entity under common control of the Company, the $ in liabilities transferred, net of $ in consideration received, has been recorded as an increase to the Company’s additional paid-in-capital equity account. On January 27, 2018, the Company completed the sale of BBC, Pineapple Express One LLC, Pineapple Express Two LLC and Pineapple Property Investments, LLC to Mr. Ortega.

On
April 7, 2017, Orr Builders, Prest-Vuksic Architects, Inc. and MSA Consulting, Inc. (all California corporations), as plaintiffs, filed
a complaint upon the Company, including subsidiaries Pineapple Express One LLC and BBC, and MJ Business Consultants; Clonenetics Laboratories
Cooperative, Inc.; United Pentecostal Church; and Healing Nature, LLC; within the Superior Court of the State of California for the County
of Riverside, Case No. PSC 1700746 (hereinafter referred to as the “Lead Case”), and a related and consolidated Case No.
PSC1702268, alleging, among other things: (i) breaches of contracts related to the DHS Project/Pineapple Park (property on which the
Company planned to build out space to lease to cultivators) in the amount of $
On March 16, 2017, the Company formed Pineapple Express Consulting, Inc. (“PEC”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. On August 3, 2017, a letter of intent was entered into between PEC and Sky Island, Inc., whereby all the assets of Pineapple Park, LLC, a California limited liability company controlled by Sky Island, Inc. holding lease deposits, were to be transferred through a related party transfer to PEC. On December 1, 2017, the Pineapple Park project of warehouses that were to be leased out to clients was terminated. Effective December 31, 2018, Pineapple Park, LLC pulled out of this project and signed a mutual release agreement for all lessees and Pineapple Park, LLC to terminate each party’s obligations and responsibilities under the leases and the parties’ relationship.
On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “PVI Agreement”) with PVI and the stockholders of PVI (the “PVI Stockholders”) in which the Company acquired a total of % of the outstanding shares of PVI, in consideration for shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, from time to time, be converted by the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to ten shares of common stock for each one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The PVI Stockholders elected to immediately convert the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock upon issuance. As a result of the investment in PVI, the Company now has a portfolio asset with which it has entered the cannabis cultivation, production and distribution sector throughout California. PVI has several leased properties that are currently being developed to provide these cannabis-related services. PVI, through its affiliates, has obtained various cannabis-related licenses throughout California.
On
January 17, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Jaime Ortega whereby in exchange for Mr. Ortega cancelling $
During
2019, PVI took preliminary business steps towards a project with Nordhoff Leases, LLC (“Nordhoff”), a related party, in which

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 6, 2020, by and between, Pineapple Express, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Pineapple Express”), and Pineapple, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Pineapple”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pineapple Express, effective as of April 15, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Pineapple Express merged with and into Pineapple, with Pineapple being the surviving entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger was consummated to complete Pineapple Express’ reincorporation from the State of Wyoming to the State of Nevada. The Merger Agreement, the Reincorporation Merger, the Name Change (as defined below) and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Pineapple were duly approved by the written consent of shareholders of Pineapple Express owning at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Pineapple Express’ common stock, par value $ per share (the “PE Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company’s corporate name changed from “Pineapple Express, Inc.” to “Pineapple, Inc.”

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. As a result, significant volatility has occurred in both the United States and international markets. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. To date, the Company has experienced declining revenues, difficulty meeting debt covenants, maintaining consistent service quality with reduced revenue, and a loss of access to customers. Management expects this matter to continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial position, but the ultimate financial impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
In October 2020, PNPXPRESS,
Inc. (an entity managed by PVI) secured three cannabis licenses, including consumer delivery and statewide distribution, from the City
of Los Angeles for a retail storefront location at the intersection of Hollywood & Vine (1704 N. Vine Street). The lease was signed
in October 2020. This
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes, and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 4, 2021. In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pineapple, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, THC Industries, LLC and Pineapple Express Consulting, Inc., doing business as Pineapple Express and Pineapple Park, LLC. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities were as follows:
| Name of Consolidated Subsidiary or Entity | State or Other Jurisdiction of Incorporation or Organization | Date of Incorporation or Formation (Date of Acquisition, if Applicable) | Attributable Interest | |||||
2/16/2016 (acquired by us) | % | |||||||
| % | ||||||||
| % | ||||||||
Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, assessment of legal accruals, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
| F-9 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable approximates their fair values since the current interest rates and terms on these obligations are the same as prevailing market rates.
Cash
The
Company considers 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. Cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. Management
believes the financial risk associated with these balances is minimal and has not experienced any losses to date. As of June 30, 2021,
and December 31, 2020, the Company had
Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment consist of furniture and fixtures and office equipment. They are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
is computed using the
The estimated useful lives of the classes of property and equipment are as follows:
| Office equipment | |
| Furniture and fixtures |
Investments – Equity Method
The Company accounts for equity method investments at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2021, the Company believes the carrying value of its equity method investments were recoverable in all material respects.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.
| F-10 |
At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had warrants outstanding and no shares issuable for conversion of notes payable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services, net of any variable consideration (e.g., rights to return product, sales incentives, others) and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Our
service revenues arise from contracts with customers and include consulting related to the licensing, development, and compliance areas
of the cannabis business and operational dispensary management. The Company also provides marketing and branding consulting services.
We did not identify any costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, directly attributable to generating
consulting revenue, and therefore have not categorized any costs as costs of sales. There were
We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met:
The parties to the contract have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations – our customary practice is to obtain written evidence, typically in the form of a contract or purchase order.
Each party’s rights regarding the goods or services have been identified – we have rights to payment when services are completed in accordance with the underlying contract, or for the sale of goods when custody is transferred to our customers either upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, with no right of return or further obligations.
The payment terms for the goods or services have been identified – prices are typically fixed, and no price protections or variables are offered.
The contract has commercial substance – our practice is to only enter into contracts that will positively affect our future cash flows.
Collectability is probable – we often require a deposit for all or a portion of the goods or services to be delivered, as well as continually monitoring and evaluating customers’ ability to pay. Payment terms are typically zero to fifteen days within delivery of the good or service.
Customer
deposits are contract liabilities with customers that represent our obligation to either transfer goods or services in the future, or
refund the amount received. Where possible, we obtain customer deposits to lessen our risk of non-payment by our customers. Customer
deposits are recognized as revenue as we perform under the contract. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did

Stock-based Compensation
The Company periodically issues restricted stock and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for restricted stock and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as stock-based compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company accounts for restricted stock and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock-based compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, restricted stock and warrants grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.
The
fair value of the Company’s warrant grants, including the put option liability from the THC Merger, are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton
and Binomial Option Pricing models, which use certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected
life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton
and Binomial Option Pricing models and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton and Binomial Option
Pricing models could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. In light of the very limited trading of our common
stock, the market value of the shares issued was determined based on the then most recent price per share at which we sold common stock
in a private placement during the periods then ended. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31,2020, there were
Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, and determined that its adoption has not had a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, including eliminating the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and requiring the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, either of the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements, is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, and determined that its adoption has not had a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board also specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period. The Company does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principle of ASC 740 in order to reduce the cost and complexity of its application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. As reflected in its condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately
$
The
Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placements of its common stock
and from issuance of its short-term on demand loans, primarily from related parties. The Company intends to raise additional capital
in the short term through addition of demand loans and, once the up listing to a higher exchange is completed, through private placements
to sell restricted shares of common stock to investors. There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable
to the Company, or at all, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company raised approximately $
If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, scale back its current business plan or curtail operations until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to execute its strategy and on its ability to raise additional funds and/or to consummate a public offering. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate the Company’s business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

Note 5 – Equity Method Investment
In March 2019, the Company acquired a % investment in Pineapple Ventures, Inc. (“PVI”) in exchange for shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock, which upon issuance were immediately converted into shares of common stock. The investment has been accounted for under the equity method. In addition to having a direct investment, the Company also noted that common ownership with PVI represents an additional variable interest. However, it was determined that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact PVI’s economic performance, and therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of PVI and PVI has not been consolidated under the variable interest model.
On
January 17, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Jaime Ortega whereby in exchange for Mr. Ortega cancelling $

investment was recorded at cost, which was determined to be $

Introduction
The Company has spent the last several years recasting the direction of the Company. We intend to take advantage of the opportunities that have been identified in the cannabis sectors. The market opportunities that are opened to a cannabis company include PVI’s involvement with cannabis delivery, retail, manufacturing, and cultivation. Our main focus has been to receive approximately 45% of all net income generated by PVI from its business ventures, as well as selling the Top Shelf System to cannabis dispensaries.
Our Business
The Company was originally formed in the State of Nevada under the name Global Resources, Ltd. on August 3, 1983. It changed its name to “Helixphere Technologies Inc.” on April 12, 1999, and to “New China Global Inc.” on October 2, 2013. It reincorporated in Wyoming on October 30, 2013, and changed its name to “Globestar Industries” on July 15, 2014. On August 24, 2015, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Better Business Consultants, Inc. (“BBC” dba “MJ Business Consultants”), a corporation formed in California on January 29, 2015, all of BBC’s shareholders, and the Company’s majority shareholder at that time (the “BBC Share Exchange”). Pursuant to the BBC Share Exchange, BBC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon consummation of the BBC Share Exchange, the Company ceased its prior business of providing educational services and continued the business of BBC as its sole line of business. BBC has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Pineapple Express One LLC, a California limited liability company, Pineapple Express Two LLC, a California limited liability company, and Pineapple Properties Investments, LLC, a Washington limited liability company. Better Business Consultants, Inc. has since been sold by the Company. On September 3, 2015, the Company changed its name to “Pineapple Express, Inc.” from “Globestar Industries.”
ln addition to having stakes in the foregoing business ventures, the Company was also assigned a patent for the proprietary Top Shelf Safe Display System (“SDS”) for use in permitted cannabis dispensaries and delivery vehicles across the United States and internationally (where permitted by law), on July 20, 2016, by Sky Island, Inc. (the “SDS Patent”) via a Patent Assignment Agreement (the “Patent Assignment Agreement”). The SDS Patent was originally applied for and filed on August 11, by Sky Island, Inc. and received its notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office on March 22, 2017. It is anticipated that the Top-Shelf SDS product shall retail for $30,000 per unit. Pineapple intends to sell the Top-Shelf SDS units to PVI for use in retail storefronts and delivery vehicles as well as to sell the Top Shelf SDS technology to other cannabis retail companies. The Company anticipates beginning sales of the Top Shelf SDS system in the fourth quarter of 2021.
| 4 |
In 2019 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, as amended (the “PVI Agreement”), with Pineapple Ventures, Inc. (“PVI”) and PVI’s stockholders. In connection with the PVI Agreement, the Company acquired a total of 50,000 shares of PVI’s outstanding capital stock, equaling 50% of the outstanding shares of PVI. The Company’s ownership interest in PVI was reduced to approximately 45% in January 2020. As a result of the investment in PVI, the Company entered the cannabis cultivation, production, and distribution sector throughout California. PVI has several leased properties that are currently being developed to provide these cannabis-related services.
During 2019, PVI took preliminary business steps towards a project with Nordhoff Leases, Inc. (“Nordhoff”), a related party, in which Nordhoff subleased 38,875 square feet in a building to three 15% owned entities by PVI; however, the contemplated project never matriculated and the planned contribution of Nordhoff to PVI was nullified. In June and July of 2020 PVI sold its 15% investments in three entities, including the cannabis licenses associated with them for $2.87 million to support its operations and assigned its three 15% owned entities’ subleases with Nordhoff to the buyer as part of the sale. PVI received 15% of the proceeds of the sale of the entities and their cannabis licenses.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 6, 2020, by and between, Pineapple Express, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Pineapple Express”), and Pineapple, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Pineapple”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pineapple Express, effective as of April 15, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Pineapple Express merged with and into Pineapple, with Pineapple being the surviving entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger was consummated to complete Pineapple Express’ reincorporation from the State of Wyoming to the State of Nevada. The Merger Agreement, the Reincorporation Merger, the Name Change (as defined below) and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Pineapple were duly approved by the written consent of shareholders of Pineapple Express owning at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Pineapple Express’ common stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company’s corporate name changed from “Pineapple Express, Inc.” to “Pineapple, Inc.”
The Company is based in Los Angeles, California. Through the Company’s operating subsidiary Pineapple Express Consulting, Inc. (“PEC”), as well as its PVI portfolio asset, the Company provides capital to its canna-business clientele, leases properties to those canna-businesses, takes equity positions and manages those operations, and provides consulting and technology to develop, enhance, or expand existing and newly formed infrastructures. Pineapple aims to become the leading portfolio management company in the U.S. cannabis sector. The Company’s executive team blends enterprise-level corporate expertise with a combined three decades of experience operating in the tightly regulated cannabis industry. Pineapple’s strategic asset integration has provided it with the infrastructure to support its subsidiaries with cost-effective access to all segments of the vertical: from cultivation and processing, to distribution, retail and delivery. With its headquarters in Los Angeles, CA, Pineapple’s portfolio company, PVI, is rapidly increasing its footprint throughout the state and looking to scale into underdeveloped markets. While PVI is generating revenues from the above-mentioned means, PEC is currently still in development and is currently not generating revenues. The Company receives monthly share equal to approximately 45% of PVI’s income that provide regular operating cash flows.
In October 2020, PNPXPRESS, Inc. (an entity managed by PVI) secured three cannabis licenses, including consumer delivery and statewide distribution, from the City of Los Angeles for a retail storefront location at the intersection of Hollywood & Vine (1704 N. Vine Street). The lease was signed in October 2020. Pineapple Express, a 3460 square foot dispensary was opened in October of 2021. PVI has received 30% equity and will receive a management fee of 10% of sales of this entity.
Impact of COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. As a result, significant volatility has occurred in both the United States and International markets. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. To date, the Company has experienced declining revenues, difficulty meeting debt covenants, maintaining consistent service quality with reduced revenue, and a loss of access to customers. Management expects this matter to continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial position, but the ultimate financial impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $2,810,935, and $0 in cash. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s current liabilities included $713,565 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $136,159 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related party, $52,408 in accrued interest payable, $735,200 in related party notes payable, $19,838 in other notes payable, $615,000 in settlement payable related party, $169,000 in advances on agreement, and $100,048 in contingent liabilities. We have funded our operations since inception primarily through the issuance of our equity securities in private placements to third parties, and/or promissory notes to related parties for cash. The cash was used primarily for operating activities, including cost of employees, management services, professional fees, consultant fees, and travel. Our management expects that cash from operating activities will not provide sufficient cash to fund normal operations, support debt service, or undertake certain investments we anticipate prosecuting for our business proposition both in the near and intermediate terms. We will continue to rely on financing provided under notes from related and third-party party sources, as well as sale of shares of our common stock in private placements, to fund our expected cash requirements.
We intend to continue raising additional capital through related party loans. Additionally, in 2021 the Company is planning to apply to have its common stock quoted on the OTC Markets, at which point the Company plans to raise money through issuances of debt and/or equity securities in private placements to accredited investors. There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or will be sufficient to enable us to fully complete our development activities or sustain operations. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional funds, we will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead and operations, or scale back our current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in such consolidated financial statements, we had an accumulated stockholders’ deficit of $15,453,874, and had a net loss of $886,385, and utilized net cash of $72,625 in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firms in their audit reports to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern was raised due to our net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and our expectation that these conditions may continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, we will require additional financing to fund future operations. Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Based on our management’s estimates and expectation to continue to receive short-term debt funding from a related party on as needed basis, we believe that current funds on hand as of the date of issuance and proceeds of such loans will be sufficient for us to continue operations beyond twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our business strategy and in our ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate our business; however, we can give no assurance that any future financing will be available or, if at all, and if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we can obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating Activities
During the six-month ended June 30, 2021, we used $72,625 of cash in operating activities, primarily as a result of our net loss of $886,385, net of non-cash operating expenses of $600,386, including depreciation expense of $3,082, stock-based compensation of $35,000 and a loss from the Company’s equity method investment of $562,304. Operating liabilities increased by $213,374, primarily due to an increase in balances due to affiliates of $179,161 and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (including related party) of $34,213.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used $245,142 of cash in operating activities, primarily as a result of our net loss of $549,037, net of non-cash operating expenses of $181,564, including $80,300 in stock-based compensation, depreciation expense of $3,779, and a loss from the Company’s equity method investment of $97,852. Operating assets and liabilities increased by $122,331, due to a decrease in security deposits of $7,944, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $24,950, an increase in accrued interest payable of $49,857, and an increase in balances due to affiliates of $39,580.

Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, we had no cash flows from investing activities.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received $249,000 in cash from private placement to third parties. Advances from affiliates totaled $9,825 and repayment amounted to $186,200 in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received $248,043 in cash from financing activities from net proceeds from related party notes payable.
Going Concern Qualification
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Management based its controls on the report, “2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, and to the same extent as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
| 9 |
Material Weaknesses and Corrective Actions
To the same extent as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified certain deficiencies relating to our internal control over financial reporting that constitute a material weakness under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”). The PCAOB defines a material weakness as 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 deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.
The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist at June 30, 2021:
| ● | The Company does not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”); | |
| ● | The Company does not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our limited size and early-stage nature of operations, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible; however, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals; | |
| ● | The Company does not have an audit committee of our board of directors; and | |
| ● | Insufficient monitoring and review controls over the financial reporting closing process, including the lack of individuals with current knowledge of U.S. GAAP. |
To remediate the Company’s internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures, as finances allow:
| ● | Adding sufficient accounting personnel or outside consultants to properly segregate duties and to affect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements. | |
| ● | Developing and maintaining adequate written accounting policies and procedures, once additional accounting personnel or outside consultants are engaged. |
The additional hiring is contingent upon our efforts to obtain additional funding and the results of our operations.
Management expects to secure funds in the coming fiscal year but provides no assurances that it will be able to do so.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above, our management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
CEO and CFO Certifications
Exhibit 31.1 to this Quarterly Report has the “Certifications” of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. These Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 4 of this Quarterly Report contains is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications, and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation. While the outcome of any litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a materially adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The following is a list of current litigation:
Salem, et al. v. Pineapple Express, Inc., et al.
JAMS Arbitration Reference Number: 1210035565 was filed July 13, 2018. This matter arises from a certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated February 12, 2016. Claimants sought forfeiture of certain IP rights, more specifically, Registered Mark “THC” standard character mark (U.S. Trademark Reg. No. 1954405 registered on February 6, 1996) and Domain Name “www.thc.com”, together with proceeds Respondents have received from any royalty or licensing payments relating to the IP rights from the date of Forfeiture, as well as costs for reasonable attorneys’ fees. Arbitration was conducted on July 17-19, 2019.

Defendants deny all allegations of claims asserted in the Complaint. Notwithstanding, the parties settled the matter pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement in or about January 3, 2020. However, the matter was reduced to an entry of judgment by the court in or about February 21, 2020, for the amount of $615,000, which monies remain due and outstanding and are accrued for in the Company’s settlement payable related party as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

Pineapple, Inc. (“Pineapple” or the “Company”) was originally formed in the state of Nevada under the name Global Resources, Ltd. on August 3, 1983. On April 12, 1999, the Company changed its name to “Helixphere Technologies Inc.” On October 2, 2013, the Company changed its name to “New China Global Inc.”
On October 30, 2013, the Company filed its Articles of Continuance with the Secretary of State of Wyoming pursuant to which the Company was re-domiciled from the State of Nevada to the State of Wyoming. On July 15, 2014, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “New China Global Inc.” to “Globestar Industries.”
On August 24, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “BBC Agreement”) with Better Business Consultants, Inc. (“BBC”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of California on January 29, 2015, and Shane Oei, a majority shareholder of the Company at the time. Pursuant to the terms of the BBC Agreement, BBC shareholders exchanged all of the issued and outstanding capital of BBC for an aggregate of newly and duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company. Upon closing, BBC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, Mr. Oei and Gary Stockport, another former shareholder of the Company at the time, cancelled and shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, in connection with the BBC Agreement. As the owners and management of BBC obtained voting and operating control of the Company after the share exchange and Globestar Industries was non-operating, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of BBC, accompanied by the exchange of previously issued common stock for outstanding common stock of Globestar Industries, which was recorded at a nominal value. Upon consummation of the BBC Agreement, the Company ceased its prior business of providing educational services and continued the business of BBC as its sole line of business. BBC has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Pineapple Express One LLC, a California limited liability company, Pineapple Express Two LLC, a California limited liability company, and Pineapple Properties Investments, LLC, a Washington limited liability company.
On September 3, 2015, the Company changed its name to “Pineapple Express, Inc.” from “Globestar Industries.” The Company’s name had no relation to the 2008 motion picture produced by Columbia Pictures.
On February 12, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger to acquire all of the assets and assume several liabilities of THC Industries, Inc. (“THC Parent”), a California corporation, through a two-step merger (the “THC Merger”) by and among the Company, THC Parent, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary THC Industries, LLC (“THC”), a California limited liability company, and the Company’s former wholly owned subsidiary THCMergerCo., Inc., a California corporation. In June 2016, the Company began to anticipate significant difficulties in monetizing the value of the acquired intangible assets and recorded an impairment of those assets.
On August 5, 2016, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with THC Industries, Inc. because of late payments. This sparked a temporary foreclosure of assets. On March 27, 2017, the Company entered into a Standstill and Waiver Agreement with THC Industries, Inc. because of additional late payments. On June 22, 2017, the Company successfully completed the conditions of the Standstill and Waiver Agreement signed between the parties on March 27, 2017. The Company made its payments and completed its conditions in full for the Forbearance Agreement. The Company gained back control of the assets relative to the purchase transaction.
ln addition to having stakes in the foregoing business ventures, the Company was also assigned a patent for the proprietary Top Shelf Safe Display System (“SDS”) for use in permitted cannabis dispensaries and delivery vehicles across the United States and internationally (where permitted by law), on July 20th, 2016, by Sky Island, Inc. (the “SDS Patent”) via a Patent Assignment Agreement (the “Patent Assignment Agreement”). The SDS Patent was originally applied for and filed on August 11, 2015, by Sky Island, Inc. and received its notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office on March 22, 2017.
It is anticipated that the Top-Shelf SDS product shall retail for $30,000 per unit. Pineapple intends to sell the Top-Shelf SDS units to Pineapple Ventures, Inc. (“PVI”) for use in retail storefronts and delivery vehicles as well as to sell the Top Shelf SDS technology to other cannabis retail companies. The Company anticipates beginning sales of the Top Shelf SDS system in the fourth quarter of 2021.
On March 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to sell BBC and its three wholly owned subsidiaries, Pineapple Express One LLC, Pineapple Express Two LLC, and Pineapple Property Investments, LLC to a related party, Jaime Ortega, in exchange for Mr. Ortega forgiving a debt of $ owed to Sky Island, Inc., a related party of the Company owned by Mr. Ortega, so that Mr. Ortega can fund and prosecute litigation claims and settle debts for the subsidiaries resulting from unconsummated parcel purchases which the Company feels was purposely circumvented by third parties involved in those transactions. Mr. Ortega, as an interested party, took these steps so the Company’s claims can be addressed against the parties at fault without negatively impacting or distracting the Company. The sale of BBC and its subsidiaries also included the transfer of liabilities owed by those entities. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, as this subsidiary was sold to an entity under common control of the Company, the $ in liabilities transferred, net of $ in consideration received, has been recorded as an increase to the Company’s additional paid-in-capital equity account. On January 27, 2018, the Company completed the sale of BBC, Pineapple Express One LLC, Pineapple Express Two LLC and Pineapple Property Investments, LLC to Mr. Ortega.
On April 7, 2017, Orr Builders, Prest-Vuksic Architects, Inc. and MSA Consulting, Inc. (all California corporations), as plaintiffs, filed a complaint upon the Company, including subsidiaries Pineapple Express One LLC and BBC, and MJ Business Consultants; Clonenetics Laboratories Cooperative, Inc.; United Pentecostal Church; and Healing Nature, LLC; within the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Riverside, Case No. PSC 1700746 (hereinafter referred to as the “Lead Case”), and a related and consolidated Case No. PSC1702268, alleging, among other things: (i) breaches of contracts related to the DHS Project/Pineapple Park (property on which the Company planned to build out space to lease to cultivators) in the amount of $1,250,000, (ii) foreclosure of mechanics’ lien, (iii) negligent misrepresentation, and (iv) unjust enrichment (against United Pentecostal Church only). The Company was not a named defendant in this action. In 2019, the land (which was leased by the Company and sold by the Company to a third party) and warehouse (which was being built for the Company yet completed by a third party) at 65241 San Jacinto Lane in Desert Hot Springs, CA, were ordered sold by way of judgment and the plaintiffs were entitled to recovery. The Company and its subsidiaries were dismissed from this action and the property was subsequently sold, fully releasing the Company from any further liability.
On March 16, 2017, the Company formed Pineapple Express Consulting, Inc. (“PEC”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. On August 3, 2017, a letter of intent was entered into between PEC and Sky Island, Inc., whereby all the assets of Pineapple Park, LLC, a California limited liability company controlled by Sky Island, Inc. holding lease deposits, were to be transferred through a related party transfer to PEC. On December 1, 2017, the Pineapple Park project of warehouses that were to be leased out to clients was terminated. Effective December 31, 2018, Pineapple Park, LLC pulled out of this project and signed a mutual release agreement for all lessees and Pineapple Park, LLC to terminate each party’s obligations and responsibilities under the leases and the parties’ relationship.
On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “PVI Agreement”) with PVI and the stockholders of PVI (the “PVI Stockholders”) in which the Company acquired a total of % of the outstanding shares of PVI, in consideration for shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, from time to time, be converted by the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to ten shares of common stock for each one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The PVI Stockholders elected to immediately convert the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock upon issuance. As a result of the investment in PVI, the Company now has a portfolio asset with which it has entered the cannabis cultivation, production and distribution sector throughout California. PVI has several leased properties that are currently being developed to provide these cannabis-related services. PVI, through its affiliates, has obtained various cannabis-related licenses throughout California.
On January 17, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Jaime Ortega whereby in exchange for Mr. Ortega cancelling $1,062,000 of existing loans extended to the Company by Jaime Ortega, Neu-Ventures, Inc., and Sky Island, Inc., the Company transferred to Mr. Ortega shares of capital stock of PVI. Subsequently, on February 11, 2021, the parties entered into amended agreement pursuant to which the original number of shares sold to Mr. Ortega was reduced from shares of capital stock of PVI to shares of capital stock of PVI. Accordingly, the Company currently owns shares of capital stock of PVI. This amendment was entered into to correct the original agreement and properly reflect the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the initial agreement. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company has 45.17% ownership interest in PVI.
During 2019, PVI took preliminary business steps towards a project with Nordhoff Leases, LLC (“Nordhoff”), a related party, in which Nordhoff subleased 38,875 square feet in a building to three 15% owned entities by PVI; however, the contemplated project never matriculated and the planned contribution of Nordhoff to PVI was nullified. In June and July of 2020 PVI sold its 15% investments in three entities, including the cannabis licenses associated with them, for $2.87 million to support its operations and assigned its three 15% owned entities’ subleases with Nordhoff to the buyer as part of the sale. PVI received 15% of the proceeds of the sale of the entities and their cannabis licenses.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 6, 2020, by and between, Pineapple Express, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Pineapple Express”), and Pineapple, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Pineapple”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pineapple Express, effective as of April 15, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Pineapple Express merged with and into Pineapple, with Pineapple being the surviving entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”). The Reincorporation Merger was consummated to complete Pineapple Express’ reincorporation from the State of Wyoming to the State of Nevada. The Merger Agreement, the Reincorporation Merger, the Name Change (as defined below) and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Pineapple were duly approved by the written consent of shareholders of Pineapple Express owning at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Pineapple Express’ common stock, par value $ per share (the “PE Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company’s corporate name changed from “Pineapple Express, Inc.” to “Pineapple, Inc.”
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. As a result, significant volatility has occurred in both the United States and international markets. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. To date, the Company has experienced declining revenues, difficulty meeting debt covenants, maintaining consistent service quality with reduced revenue, and a loss of access to customers. Management expects this matter to continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial position, but the ultimate financial impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
In October 2020, PNPXPRESS, Inc. (an entity managed by PVI) secured three cannabis licenses, including consumer delivery and statewide distribution, from the City of Los Angeles for a retail storefront location at the intersection of Hollywood & Vine (1704 N. Vine Street). The lease was signed in October 2020. This 3,460 square foot dispensary called Pineapple Express was opened in October of 2021. PVI will receive 30% equity and will receive a management fee of 10% of sales of this entity.

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes, and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 4, 2021. In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pineapple, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, THC Industries, LLC and Pineapple Express Consulting, Inc., doing business as Pineapple Express and Pineapple Park, LLC. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities were as follows:
Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, assessment of legal accruals, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable approximates their fair values since the current interest rates and terms on these obligations are the same as prevailing market rates.
Cash
The Company considers 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. Cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the financial risk associated with these balances is minimal and has not experienced any losses to date. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of furniture and fixtures and office equipment. They are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The estimated useful lives of the classes of property and equipment are as follows:
Investments – Equity Method
The Company accounts for equity method investments at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2021, the Company believes the carrying value of its equity method investments were recoverable in all material respects.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.
At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had warrants outstanding and no shares issuable for conversion of notes payable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services, net of any variable consideration (e.g., rights to return product, sales incentives, others) and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Our service revenues arise from contracts with customers and include consulting related to the licensing, development, and compliance areas of the cannabis business and operational dispensary management. The Company also provides marketing and branding consulting services. We did not identify any costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, directly attributable to generating consulting revenue, and therefore have not categorized any costs as costs of sales. There were no revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020.
We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met:
The parties to the contract have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations – our customary practice is to obtain written evidence, typically in the form of a contract or purchase order.
Each party’s rights regarding the goods or services have been identified – we have rights to payment when services are completed in accordance with the underlying contract, or for the sale of goods when custody is transferred to our customers either upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, with no right of return or further obligations.
The payment terms for the goods or services have been identified – prices are typically fixed, and no price protections or variables are offered.
The contract has commercial substance – our practice is to only enter into contracts that will positively affect our future cash flows.
Collectability is probable – we often require a deposit for all or a portion of the goods or services to be delivered, as well as continually monitoring and evaluating customers’ ability to pay. Payment terms are typically zero to fifteen days within delivery of the good or service.
Customer deposits are contract liabilities with customers that represent our obligation to either transfer goods or services in the future, or refund the amount received. Where possible, we obtain customer deposits to lessen our risk of non-payment by our customers. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue as we perform under the contract. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any customer deposits recognized as unearned revenue.
Advertising/Promotion
The Company’s advertising/promotion costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising/promotion expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company periodically issues restricted stock and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for restricted stock and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as stock-based compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company accounts for restricted stock and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock-based compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, restricted stock and warrants grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.
The fair value of the Company’s warrant grants, including the put option liability from the THC Merger, are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton and Binomial Option Pricing models, which use certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton and Binomial Option Pricing models and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton and Binomial Option Pricing models could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. In light of the very limited trading of our common stock, the market value of the shares issued was determined based on the then most recent price per share at which we sold common stock in a private placement during the periods then ended. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31,2020, there were no outstanding warrants.
Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, and determined that its adoption has not had a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, including eliminating the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and requiring the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, either of the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements, is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, and determined that its adoption has not had a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board also specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period. The Company does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principle of ASC 740 in order to reduce the cost and complexity of its application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

| Going Concern | Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in its condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $15.5 million as of June 30, 2021, and incurred a net loss of approximately $0.9 million and utilized net cash of approximately $0.1 million in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company has not generated significant revenues and has incurred net losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placements of its common stock and from issuance of its short-term on demand loans, primarily from related parties. The Company intends to raise additional capital in the short term through addition of demand loans and, once the up listing to a higher exchange is completed, through private placements to sell restricted shares of common stock to investors. There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company raised approximately $0.2M in cash proceeds from the sale of its common stock.
If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, scale back its current business plan or curtail operations until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to execute its strategy and on its ability to raise additional funds and/or to consummate a public offering. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate the Company’s business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

| Equity Method Investment | Note 5 – Equity Method Investment
In March 2019, the Company acquired a % investment in Pineapple Ventures, Inc. (“PVI”) in exchange for shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock, which upon issuance were immediately converted into shares of common stock. The investment has been accounted for under the equity method. In addition to having a direct investment, the Company also noted that common ownership with PVI represents an additional variable interest. However, it was determined that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact PVI’s economic performance, and therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of PVI and PVI has not been consolidated under the variable interest model.
On January 17, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Jaime Ortega whereby in exchange for Mr. Ortega cancelling $1,062,000 of existing loans extended to the Company by Jaime Ortega, Neu-Ventures, Inc., and Sky Island, Inc., the Company transferred to Mr. Ortega shares of capital stock of PVI. Subsequently, on February 11, 2021, the parties entered into amended agreement pursuant to which the original number of shares sold to Mr. Ortega was reduced from shares of capital stock of PVI to shares of capital stock of PVI. Accordingly, the Company currently owns shares of capital stock of PVI. This amendment was entered into to correct the original agreement and properly reflect the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the initial agreement.
The investment was recorded at cost, which was determined to be $11,000,000 based on a value of $0.55 per share of common stock. A total of shares of common stock were issued as of December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company has 45.17% ownership interest in PVI.
The following represents summarized financial information of PVI for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively:
Based on its 45.17% equity investment, the Company has recorded a loss from equity investment of $562,304 and $97,852 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The carrying value of the equity investment as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was $8,926,312 and $9,488,616, respectively.

| Leases | Note 6 – Leases
The Company leases office space under an operating lease that expired in . The lease includes an option to extend for an additional term with rent adjusted to market rates. The Company did not exercise its option to extend the lease. Upon adopting ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability for $122,985 related to the remaining term of this operating lease. As an implicit rate was not available for the lease, the Company used our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to measure the operating lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the lease. The Company has determined its incremental borrowing rate as of the inception of this lease to be twenty-five percent (25%) per year.
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the depreciation for the Company’s operating lease right-of-use asset is recorded in periodic lease expense within the Company’s general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The periodic lease expense recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, was $0 and $42,489, respectively. Total lease payments for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, were $0 and $42,856, respectively. Total amortization of the operating lease right-of-use asset for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, was $0 and $40,775, respectively.
Upon expiration of the lease term in June 2020, the Company’s security deposit was applied towards the final rent payment and the lease reverted to a month-to-month basis until PVI entered into a new lease for the property in August 2020. The Company has agreed to pay a rent allocation to PVI of $1,000 per month. The Company recorded $6,000 of rent expense during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

From January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, the Company decreased the Sky Island promissory notes from a beginning balance of $1,757,124 to a closing balance of $8,015. In January 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to reduce the outstanding loan by $1,062,000, first applied to accrued interest of $312,891, in exchange for ownership in the Company’s equity method investment. Since June 2020, Sky Island Inc. agreed to reduce the coupon rate on notes payable from 10% to 0%.
On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement with PVI pursuant to which the Company sold all of the Company’s trade dress and trade names, logos, internet addresses and domain names, trademarks and service marks and related registrations and applications, including any intent to use applications, supplemental registrations and any renewals or extensions in exchange for Mr. Jaime Ortega, waiving and cancelling $1,000,000 of the aggregate existing loans extended by Mr. Ortega to the Company. There was no activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The outstanding balance owed to Sky Island Inc., was $8,015 as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
The promissory note transactions were deemed a related party transaction because Jaime Ortega, owner, chief operating officer and director of Sky Island, Inc., was a founding shareholder of the Company. Mr. Ortega has an aggregate ownership of 48.1 % and 49.6% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Accrued interest payable on the Sky Island promissory notes as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was $45,637.

Eric Kennedy
In May 2019, the Company agreed to a settlement with Eric Kennedy, a Company’s director, related to deferred cash compensation that had been accrued for in the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities to reduce the amount to $35,000, resulting in a gain on settlement of related party payables of $36,000, which was recorded in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Therefore, the $35,000 was reclassified to related party notes payable.
The note does not incur interest and was originally to be repaid through an initial $10,000 payment with monthly payments of $5,000 thereafter, but the Company was only able to make one $5,000 payment, reducing the balance to $30,000 as of December 31, 2020.

Investor Three
In December 2015, the Company entered into a Revenue Share Agreement for $ that was recorded as “advances on agreements” liability.

| Advances on Agreements | Note 10 – Advances on Agreements
At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, advances on agreements balance consist of the following:
Investor One
On February 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (“BLOI1”) with Investor One that the Company deemed a financing agreement for the purchase of a certain property (APN: 665-030-044), and upon completion of development of the acquired property, subsequently a revenue share agreement that was for the following considerations: (i) payment by Investor One of $125,000, representing one-half the purchase price of the property, (ii) the Company would have repurchased the financed property for $187,500 within one year of the purchase, and (iii) “rent” payments of $3,750/month would have occurred during the referenced one year period.
During March 2016, the $125,000 in financing from Investor One, in addition to $40,768 from the Company, was deposited in Escrow No.: 7101604737-ST with Chicago Title Company against the purchase of another property (APN: 665-030-043) that was the subject of additional funding by an Investor Two, described below. There was no activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Investor Two
On March 18, 2016, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (“BLOI2”), subsequently amended by a Real Property Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement”) dated March 21, 2016, both of which the Company deemed a financing agreement for the purchase of a certain property (APN: 665-030-043) for the following considerations: (i) payment by Investor Two of $350,000 of the $515,000 purchase price of the property, (ii) the Company would assign the existing escrow amount of $165,768 to Investor Two, who would close the transaction and take title to the property, (iii) the Company would pay any taxes, fees and other out-of-pocket expenses associated with the transaction, and (iv) the Company would have repurchased the property from Investor Two for a price of $500,000 within ninety days of the closing of the transaction.
On March 22, 2016, Investor Two deposited $350,000 into the escrow account referenced above and the transaction closed with title conveyed to Investor Two as required under BLOI2. Subsequent to closing, the Company defaulted under the BLOI2 and the Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement as it did not reacquire the property in the required ninety days after closing. As a consequence, the Company forfeited the $165,768 deposited into the Chicago Title Escrow account referenced above. There was no activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Investment Accounting Treatments for Investors One and Two
The escrow agreement closed and Investor Two took title to property. There is no provision in BLOI2, or in the Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement, that would impose any continuing liability on the Company other than the loss of the Company’s escrow deposit.
As no terms and conditions were established to characterize the $125,000 investment as a Note Payable, the Company has recorded a continuing liability to Investor One in connection with BLOI1 having been recorded as a deferred liability. Contrary to the case with Investor Two, the Company acknowledged the additional $62,500 liability provided for under BLOI1 and $187,500 was recorded as “advances on agreements” as a short-term deferred liability on the Company’s books and records. Additionally, BLOI1 provided for a “rent” payment of $3,750 for a period of twelve months after execution of BLOI1.
In February 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Investor One which required the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock and established an additional principal sum for repayment of $200,000. The settlement includes installment payments of $10,000 per month beginning on February 15, 2019, until the balance is repaid and ends the accrual of interest. Prior to entering into the settlement agreement, the Company had recorded interest expense of $4,125, bringing the balance from $187,500 at December 31, 2018 to $ The settlement agreement resulted in additional expense of $8,375. The Company made three $10,000 payments during the year ended December 31, 2019, and also reduced the value by another $1,000 in connection with the shares being valued at $11,000 instead of the $10,000 value initially discussed. The balance of advances on agreements totaled $169,000 as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes, and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 4, 2021. In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities were as follows:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting | Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, assessment of legal accruals, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable approximates their fair values since the current interest rates and terms on these obligations are the same as prevailing market rates.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash | Cash
The Company considers 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. Cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the financial risk associated with these balances is minimal and has not experienced any losses to date. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of furniture and fixtures and office equipment. They are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The estimated useful lives of the classes of property and equipment are as follows:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Investments – Equity Method | Investments – Equity Method
The Company accounts for equity method investments at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2021, the Company believes the carrying value of its equity method investments were recoverable in all material respects.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Loss Per Share |
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.
At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had warrants outstanding and no shares issuable for conversion of notes payable.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services, net of any variable consideration (e.g., rights to return product, sales incentives, others) and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Our service revenues arise from contracts with customers and include consulting related to the licensing, development, and compliance areas of the cannabis business and operational dispensary management. The Company also provides marketing and branding consulting services. We did not identify any costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, directly attributable to generating consulting revenue, and therefore have not categorized any costs as costs of sales. There were no revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020.
We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met:
The parties to the contract have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations – our customary practice is to obtain written evidence, typically in the form of a contract or purchase order.
Each party’s rights regarding the goods or services have been identified – we have rights to payment when services are completed in accordance with the underlying contract, or for the sale of goods when custody is transferred to our customers either upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, with no right of return or further obligations.
The payment terms for the goods or services have been identified – prices are typically fixed, and no price protections or variables are offered.
The contract has commercial substance – our practice is to only enter into contracts that will positively affect our future cash flows.
Collectability is probable – we often require a deposit for all or a portion of the goods or services to be delivered, as well as continually monitoring and evaluating customers’ ability to pay. Payment terms are typically zero to fifteen days within delivery of the good or service.
Customer deposits are contract liabilities with customers that represent our obligation to either transfer goods or services in the future, or refund the amount received. Where possible, we obtain customer deposits to lessen our risk of non-payment by our customers. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue as we perform under the contract. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any customer deposits recognized as unearned revenue.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Advertising/Promotion | Advertising/Promotion
The Company’s advertising/promotion costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising/promotion expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation
The Company periodically issues restricted stock and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for restricted stock and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as stock-based compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company accounts for restricted stock and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB where the value of the stock-based compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, restricted stock and warrants grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.
The fair value of the Company’s warrant grants, including the put option liability from the THC Merger, are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton and Binomial Option Pricing models, which use certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton and Binomial Option Pricing models and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton and Binomial Option Pricing models could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. In light of the very limited trading of our common stock, the market value of the shares issued was determined based on the then most recent price per share at which we sold common stock in a private placement during the periods then ended. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31,2020, there were no outstanding warrants.

| Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, and determined that its adoption has not had a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, including eliminating the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and requiring the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, either of the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements, is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, and determined that its adoption has not had a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board also specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period. The Company does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principle of ASC 740 in order to reduce the cost and complexity of its application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures. |
