Our Company
Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we’’, ’‘us” or “the/our Company’’) is a publicly-traded company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our previous legal name was Diversified Opportunities, Inc. Our Company, Sugarmade, Inc. operates much of its business activities through our subsidiary, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’). Sugarmade, Inc. was founded in 2010. In 2014, CarryOutSupplies.com was acquired by Sugarmade, Inc., creating the Company as it is today.
Shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market, which is a quotation system for early-stage and developing companies. Our trading symbol is “SGMD”. Our corporate website is www.Sugarmade.com.
As of the date of this offering circular , we are involved in two main business areas including:
1) The supply of consumable products to the quick-service restaurant sub-sector of the restaurant industry, and as an importer of non-medical personal protection equipment to business and consumers, and,
2) As an investor in the Budcars licensed cannabis delivery service brand (“Budcars” or the “Budcars Brand”) and as a joint owner and joint operator in Budcar’s first operating location in Sacramento, California. During early 2020, the Company gained a 40% stake in the Budcars Brand and in the Sacramento delivery operations via acquiring a 40% stake in Indigo Dye Group (“Indigo”). Under the terms of the agreement with Indigo, Sugarmade acquired an option to purchase an additional 30% interest in Budcars, upon which will provide the Company with a controlling interest. As of the date of this offering circular, the option has not yet been exercise and the Company’s stake in Budcars is at 40%.
Our legacy business operation, CarryOutSupplies.com, is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies, servicing more than 2,000 quick-service restaurants (the “Quick Service Restaurant Sector”). Our products include double poly paper cups for cold beverage; disposable, clear, plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, edible packaging, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons, and many other similar products for this market sector. CarryOutSupplies.com was founded in 2009. Our products are viewable on our website: www.CarryOutSupplies.com. We have recently expanded the CarryOutSupplies.com operation to include non-medical personal protective equipment, which we also offer via our website. Additional information on CarryOutSupplies.com is provided in the “Business” section, beginning on Page 21, of this offering circular .
Sugarmade is an investor in the Budcars Brand and in the brand’s first operating location in Sacramento, California. During February 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Indigo to acquire the 40% stake in the Budcars Brand and in the Sacramento operation location (the “Indigo Agreement). As is noted above, and is outlined in the Indigo Agreement, and is attached hereto, the Company also gained an option to acquire and additional 30% of the Budcars Brand and Sacramento operation. Since that time, Sugarmade shares in the operational responsibilities of the both the brand and in the operating location.
Cannabis is already one of the fastest-growing markets in the world and in the United States. According to cannabis industry research firms Archview Market Research (“Archview”) and BDS Analytics, worldwide legal cannabis spending hit $14.9 billion in 2019, up from $10.2 billion in 2018 and is projected to grow to $42.7 billion by 2024. According Archview, the legal cannabis market grew by 46% in 2019 despite challenges caused by overregulation and overtaxing in the two biggest markets; California and Canada. According to Fortune Business Insights, during 2019, the cannabis market produced approximately $100 billion in U.S sales. Growth over the next few years is expected to top 32% compounded annually. The U.S. cannabis segment has clearly been one of the fastest-growing markets within the American economy over the past 50 years. The California market clearly leads the U.S. market with the legal California market worth at least $13 billion annually with strong growth continuing. Additional information on our delivery service operation is provided in the “Business” section, beginning on Page 21, of this offering circular.

If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
This offering contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only predictions. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our customers’ or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, to differ. “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as other sections in this prospectus, discuss the important factors that could contribute to these differences.
The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
This prospectus also contains market data related to our business and industry. This market data includes projections that are based on a number of assumptions. If these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. As a result, our markets may not grow at the rates projected by these data, or at all. The failure of these markets to grow at these projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the market price of our Common Stock.
Risk Related to our Company and our Business
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors, L&L CPAs, have indicated in their report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations and substantial decline in our working capital. A “going concern” opinion could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of equity, incurring debt, or other financing alternatives. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon the availability and terms of future funding, continued growth, improved operating margins and our ability to profitably meet service commitments. If we are unable to achieve these goals, our business would be jeopardized and the Company may not be able to continue. If we ceased operations, it is likely that all of our investors would lose their investment.
We face risks associated with strategic acquisitions.
Our business strategy includes strategically acquisitions of businesses and assets, some of which may be material. We plan to investigate and acquire strategic businesses with the potential to be accretive to earnings, increase our market penetration, brand strength and our market position or enhancement our existing product offerings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify or successfully complete transactions with suitable acquisition candidates in the future.
-3-
These acquisitions may involve a number of financial, accounting, managerial, operational, legal, compliance and other risks and challenges, including the following, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations:
| ● | Any acquired business could under-perform relative to our expectations and the price that we paid for it, or not perform in accordance with our anticipated timetable; | |
| ● | We may incur or assume significant debt in connection with our acquisitions; | |
| ● | Acquisitions could cause our results of operations to differ from our own or the investment community’s expectations in any given period, or over the long term; and | |
| ● | Acquisitions could create demands on our management that we may be unable to effectively address, or for which we may incur additional costs. |
Additionally, if we were to undertake a substantial acquisition, the acquisition would likely need to be financed in part through additional financing from banks, through possible public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities or through other arrangements. There can be no assurance that the necessary acquisition financing would be available to us on acceptable terms if and when required.
Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. We may also unknowingly inherit liabilities from acquired businesses or assets that arise after the acquisition and that are not adequately covered by indemnities. Following any business acquisition, we could experience difficulty in integrating personnel, operations, financial and other systems, and in retaining key employees and customers. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial position may suffer.
In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. We may record goodwill and other intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet in connection with our acquisitions. If we are not able to realize the value of these assets, we may be required to incur charges relating to the impairment of these assets, which could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.
We may have difficulties integrating acquisitions or identifying new acquisitions.
A major part of our strategy is to grow through acquisition. However, we may be unable to identify and consummate additional acquisitions or may be unable to successfully integrate and manage the product lines or businesses that we have recently acquired or may acquire in the future. In addition, we may be unable to achieve a substantial portion of any anticipated cost savings from acquisitions or other anticipated benefits in the timeframe we anticipate, or at all. Moreover, any acquired product lines or businesses may require a greater than anticipated amount of trade, promotional and capital spending. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, services and products of the acquired companies, personnel turnover and the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Any inability by us to integrate and manage any product lines or businesses that we have recently acquired or may acquire in the future in a timely and efficient manner, any inability to achieve a substantial portion of any anticipated cost savings or other anticipated benefits from these acquisitions in the time frame we anticipate or any unanticipated required increases in trade, promotional or capital spending could adversely affect our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Moreover, future acquisitions by us could result in our incurring substantial additional indebtedness, being exposed to contingent liabilities or incurring the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, all of which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
-4-
We may need additional capital in the future, which could dilute the ownership of current shareholders or we may be unable to secure additional funding in the future or to obtain such funding on favorable terms.
Historically, we have raised equity capital, including debt convertible into equity capital, to support and expand our operations. To the extent that we raise additional equity capital, existing shareholders will experience a dilution in the voting power and ownership of their shares of Common Stock, and earnings per share, if any, would be negatively impacted. Our inability to use our equity securities to finance our operations could materially limit our growth. Any borrowings made to finance operations could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our operating results, a downturn in economic conditions, or increases in interest rates on borrowings that are subject to interest rate fluctuations. The amount and timing of such additional financing needs will vary principally depending on the timing of new product launches, investments and/or acquisitions, and the amount of cash flow from our operations. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to issue additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet any debt service requirements, we could be required to sell additional equity securities, refinance our obligations, or dispose of assets in order to meet debt service requirements. There can be no assurance that any financing will be available to us when needed or will be available on terms acceptable to us. Our failure to obtain sufficient financing on favorable terms and conditions could have a material adverse effect on our growth prospects and our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Uncertainty of profitability
Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of revenues, loses and/or earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of products at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of products, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and/or services offered and their market acceptance.
Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market for our products. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.
Because of the anticipated nature of the products that we offer and attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:
| · | Our ability to raise sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate sufficient revenues to cover expenses. | |
| · | Our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns. | |
| · | Our ability to manage our capital and liquidity requirements based on changing market conditions. |
| · | The amount and timing of operating and other costs and expenses. | |
| · | The nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations. |
-5-
We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results
Some of business initiatives in the hydroponic sector are new and are only in early stages of commercialization. As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for our Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. We cannot guarantee that a market for our Company will develop or that demand for our products will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.
We have incurred losses since our inception, have yet to achieve profitable operations and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
Even if we obtain more customers or increase sales to our existing customers, there is no guarantee we will be able to generate a profit. Because we are a small company and have limited capital, we must limit our products and services. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to buy our products to operate profitably. Further, we are subject to raw material pricing which can erode the profitability of our products and put additional negative pressure on profitability. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
For the period ended September 30, 2020, we incurred a net income of $1,278,812 and had an accumulated deficit of $67,159,520. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 we incurred a net loss of $21,534,562 and had an accumulated deficit of $68,438,332. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $12,229,151 and had an accumulated deficit of $47,088,950. Although we have generated substantial revenues, these are insufficient to make the Company profitable. We plan to increase our expenses associated with the development of our business. There is no assurance we will be able to derive revenues from the development of our business to successfully achieve positive cash flow or that our business will be successful. If we achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profits on a quarterly or annual basis.
We do not have sufficient cash on hand.
As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we had $681,093 and $441,004 cash on hand, respectively. These cash resources are not sufficient for us to execute our business plan. If we do not generate sufficient cash from our intended financing activities and sales, we will be unable to continue our operations. We estimate that within the next 12 months we will need at least $1,476,500 in cash from either investors or operations. While we intend to engage in several equity or debt financings, there is no assurance that these will actually occur. Nor can we assure our shareholders that we will not be required to obtain additional financing on terms that are dilutive of their interests. You should recognize that if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues or obtain debt or equity financing, we will not be able to earn profits and may not be able to continue operations.
-6-
The success of our new and existing products and services is uncertain.
We expect to continue to commit significant resources and capital to develop and market existing and new products, services and enhancements. These products and services are relatively untested, and there is no assurance that we will achieve market acceptance for these products and services, or other new products and services that we may offer in the future. Moreover, these and other new products and services may face significant competition with new and existing competitors. In addition, new products, services and enhancements may pose a variety of technical challenges and require us to attract additional qualified employees. The failure to successfully develop and market these new products, services or enhancements could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we are subject to raw material pricing which can erode the profitability of our products and put additional negative pressure on profitability. Moreover, if we fail to accurately project demand for our new or existing products, we may encounter problems of overproduction or underproduction which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as damage our reputation and brand.
Third-party suppliers could fail to fulfill our orders for parts used to assemble our products, which would disrupt our business, increase our costs, harm our reputation, and potentially cause us to lose our market.
We depend on international third-party suppliers, including in The People’s Republic of China, for materials used to assemble our products. Changing federal tariffs could adversely affect our international third-party suppliers. We cannot predict the nature of any future tariffs, laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our suppliers and our business. These suppliers could increase prices to us, fail to produce products to our specifications or in a workmanlike manner and may not deliver the material or products on a timely basis. Our suppliers may also have to obtain inventories of the necessary parts and tools for production. Any change in our suppliers’ approach to tariffs or resolving production issues could disrupt our ability to fulfill orders and could also disrupt our business due to delays in finding new suppliers, providing specifications and testing initial production. Such disruptions in our business and/or delays in fulfilling orders would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as damage our reputation and brand.
Even if we expand our customer base, there is no assurance that we will continue to make a profit.
Our revenue growth has been derived from the sale of our products. Our success and the planned growth and expansion of our business depend on us achieving greater and broader acceptance of our products and expanding our customer base. There can be no assurance that customers will purchase our products or that we will continue to expand our customer base. If we are unable to effectively market or expand our product offerings, we will be unable to grow and expand our business or implement our business strategy. Even if we obtain more customers, there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue to generate a profit. Because we have limited capital, we may be required to limit our products and services. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to buy our products to operate profitably. If we cannot market our new and existing products and services profitably, we may have to limit or suspend or cease operations.
Even if we are able to expand our business operations, we may be unable to successfully manage our future growth.
If we are able to continue expanding our operations, we may experience periods of rapid growth that will require additional resources. Any such growth could place increased strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources, and we will need to train, motivate, and manage employees, as well as attract management, sales, finance and accounting, international, technical, and other professionals. In addition, we will need to expand the scope of our infrastructure and develop further physical resources. Any failure to expand these areas and implement appropriate procedures and controls in an efficient manner and at a pace consistent with the business objectives could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
-7-
Our inability to effectively manage our growth could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Our strategy envisions growing our business. We plan to expand our product, sales, administrative and marketing operations. Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems. As with other growing businesses, we expect that we will need to further refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. We also will need to hire, train, supervise, and manage new employees. These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention.
If we do not successfully generate additional products and services, or if such products and services are developed but not successfully commercialized, we could lose revenue opportunities.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our product and service offerings. To that end we have engaged in the process of identifying new product opportunities to provide additional products and related services to our customers. The processes of identifying and commercializing new products is complex and uncertain, and if we fail to accurately predict customers’ changing needs and emerging trends, our business could be harmed. We have already and may have to continue to commit significant resources to commercializing new products before knowing whether our investments will result in products the market will accept. Furthermore, we may not execute successfully on commercializing those products because of errors in product planning or timing, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, or a lack of appropriate resources. This could result in competitors providing those solutions before we do and a reduction in net sales and earnings.
The success of new products depends on several factors, including proper new product definition, timely completion, and introduction of these products, differentiation of new products from those of our competitors, and market acceptance of these products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify additional new product opportunities, develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, or achieve market acceptance of our products or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
If we are not able to raise enough funds through the Investment Agreement or other sources, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our products and our business may fail.
We do not have any commitments for financing other than the Investment Agreement, and we will need additional financing to meet our obligations and to continue our business. Although we plan to raise funds through the Investment Agreement, due to the conditions of the Investment Agreement we cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise money through the use of the Investment Agreement or that we will be able to utilize the full Investment Agreement.
Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.
Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of Management, as well as other personnel. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or our inability to attract suitably qualified replacements or additional staff could adversely affect our business. Our success also depends on the ability of Management to form and maintain key commercial relationships within the marketplace. No assurance can be given that key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills will be found. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and additional employees, our business may be adversely affected. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executive employees.
-8-
The loss of key Management personnel could adversely affect our business
We depend on the continued services of our executive officers and senior management team as they work closely with independent associate leaders and are responsible for our day-to-day operations. Our success depends in part on our ability to retain our executive officers, to compensate our executive officers at attractive levels, and to continue to attract additional qualified individuals to our management team. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our senior management team, and do not believe that any of them are planning to leave or retire in the near term, we cannot assure you that our senior managers will remain with us. The loss or limitation of the services of any of our executive officers or members of our senior management team, or the inability to attract additional qualified management personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or independent associate relations.
The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business
Our business depends on attracting independent directors, executives and senior management to advance our business plans. We currently do not have directors and officer’s insurance to protect our directors, officers and the company against to possible third-party claims. This is due to the significant lack availability of such policies in the cannabis industry at reasonably competitive prices. As a result, the Company and our executive directors and officers are susceptible to liability claims arising by third parties, and as a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified independent directors and executive management causing the development of our business plans to be impeded as a result.
If we fail to maintain satisfactory relationships with our larger customers, our business may be harmed.
We do not have and are unlikely to enter into long-term fixed quantity supply agreements with our customers. Due to competition or other factors, we could lose future business from our customers, either partially or completely. The future loss of one or more of our significant customers or a substantial future reduction of orders by any of our significant customers could harm our business and results of operations. Moreover, our customers may vary their order levels significantly from period to period and customers may not continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. In the event that in the future we lose any of our larger customers, we may not be able to replace that revenue source. This could harm our financial results.
Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive
Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.
We import many of our products from Asian counties, including the People’s Republic of China. Disruptions or a change in the tariff situation may negatively affect our business
Many of the products we market are manufactured in Asian countries and are then imported to our facilities in the United States and ultimately sold to our customers. There can be no assurance of the reliability of such channels and disruption would likely have a significant impact on our business operations, our ability to retain customers and on our ability to generate profits. A significant change in trade tariffs could also negatively affect our business operations.

If product liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, we will incur substantial liabilities.
From time to time, we may receive complaints from customers regarding our goods and services. We may become subject to product liability lawsuits from customers alleging injury because of a purported defect in our products or services, claiming substantial damages and demanding payments from us. Liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. We may be in the chain of ownership when we supply or distributes products, and therefore is subject to the risk of being held legally responsible for such products. Given the nature of these products (including their relation to cannabis or for other reasons), these claims may not be subject to insurance coverage or covered by insurance policies. Any resulting litigation, regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, could decrease demand for our products, result in product recalls or withdrawals, be costly, divert management attention, result in increased costs of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Any litigation or even negative publicity generated as a result of customer frustration or disagreement with the products or services could damage our reputation and diminish the value of our brand name, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results
Some of business initiatives in the hydroponic sector are new and are only in early stages of commercialization. As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for our Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. We cannot guarantee that a market for our Company will develop or that demand for our products will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.
RISKS OF GOVERNMENT ACTION AND REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY
Our recent investment into Budcars, which operates in the regulated market for cannabis, could subject the Company to federal regulation and enforcement of medical and adult use cannabis products, thus negatively impacting our ability to generate profits.
The Company, and its investment in Budcars, could be impacted by government regulation of cannabis products. As a result of our current ownership position in Budcars, and the possibility of expanding this ownership position, several state and federal regulations could impact our business operations and our ability to generate both revenues and profits.
As of December 2019, there are a total of 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, with legislation passed as it relates to medicinal cannabis. Of these states, 11 have decriminalized adult use cannabis legislation. These state laws are in direct conflict with the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811) (“CSA”), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted use for medical treatment in the U.S., and lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision.

Although the possession, cultivation, and distribution of marijuana for medical and adult use is permitted in California and Nevada, provided compliance with applicable state and local laws, rules, and regulations, marijuana is illegal under federal law. We believe we operate our business in compliance with applicable California laws and regulations. Any changes in federal, state or local law enforcement regarding marijuana may affect our ability to operate our business. Strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in the inability to proceed with our business plans, could expose us to potential criminal liability, and could subject our properties to civil forfeiture.
The U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amounts of marijuana for use on private property but has relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In the event the DOJ reverses its stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical marijuana and recreational marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenue and profits.
In an effort to provide guidance to federal law enforcement, the DOJ has issued Guidance Regarding Marijuana Enforcement to all United States Attorneys in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General David Ogden on October 19, 2009, in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General James Cole on June 29, 2011 and in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General James Cole on August 29, 2013. Each memorandum provides that the DOJ is committed to the enforcement of the CSA but, the DOJ is also committed to using its limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent, and rational way. On January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions revoked the Ogden Memo and the Cole Memos.
In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, which is also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“the AUMA”), in a ballot initiative. Among other things, the AUMA makes it legal for adults over the age of 21 to use marijuana and to possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana flowers and 8 grams of marijuana concentrates. Individuals are also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, the AUMA establishes a licensing system for businesses to, among other things, cultivate, process, and distribute marijuana products under certain conditions. On January 1, 2018, the California Bureau of Marijuana Control enacted regulations to implement the AUMA. We have obtained the necessary permits and licenses to expand our existing business to distribute marijuana in compliance with the laws in the State of California. Despite the changes in state laws, marijuana remains illegal under federal law. On January 1, 2018, the California Bureau of Marijuana Control enacted regulations to implement the AUMA.
We are monitoring the Trump administration’s, the DOJ’s and Congress’ positions on federal marijuana law and policy. Since the start of the new Congress in January 2019, there have been positive discussions about the Federal Government’s approach to cannabis. The DOJ has not signaled any change in its enforcement efforts. Based on public statements and reports, we understand that certain aspects of those laws and policies are currently under review, but no official changes have been announced. It is possible that certain changes to existing laws or policies could have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.
-11-
Variations in state and local regulation may negatively impact our revenues and prospective profits. We are subject to various state and local regulations.
State and local laws do not always conform to the federal standard. In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”), in a ballot initiative. Among other things, the AUMA makes it legal for adults over the age of 21 to use marijuana and to possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana flowers and 8 grams of marijuana concentrates. Individuals are also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, the AUMA establishes a licensing system for businesses to, among other things, cultivate, process, and distribute marijuana products under certain conditions. On January 1, 2018 the California Bureau of Cannabis Control enacted regulations to implement the AUMA.
If we are unable to obtain and maintain the permits and licenses required to operate our business in compliance with state and local regulations in California, we may experience negative effects on our business and results of operations.
Laws and regulations affecting the medical and adult use marijuana industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our investment into the Budcars operations and the ability for Budcars to generate revenues and profits.
Local, state, and federal medical and adult use marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us or the Budcars operation to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt certain aspects of our business plan and result in a material adverse effect on certain aspects of our planned operations and/or those of Budcars. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.
We are not able to deduct some of our business expenses.
Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits marijuana businesses from deducting their ordinary and necessary business expenses, forcing us to pay higher effective federal tax rates than similar companies in other industries. The effective tax rate on a marijuana business depends on how large its ratio of nondeductible expenses is to its total revenues. Therefore, our marijuana business may be less profitable than it could otherwise be.
California’s Phase-In of Laboratory Testing Requirements could impact the availability of the products sold by Budcars, which could affect its future revenues and thus our ability to report profits.
Beginning July 1, 2018, cannabis goods must meet all statutory and regulatory requirements. A licensee can only sell cannabis goods that have been tested by a licensed testing laboratory and have passed all statutory and regulatory testing requirements. In order to be sold, cannabis goods harvested or manufactured prior to January 1, 2018, must be tested by a licensed testing laboratory and must comply with all testing requirements in section 5715 of the Bureau of Cannabis Control (“BCC”) regulations. Cannabis goods that do not meet all statutory and regulatory requirements must be destroyed in accordance with the rules pertaining to destruction. Adherence to these regulations may affect the revenues and profits of the Budcars operation and our ability to recognize profits from our investment in Budcars.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BANK AND INSURANCE LAWS AND REGULATIONS
We and our customers may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult to sell our products and services and manage our cashflows.
Since the commerce in cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, is illegal under federal law, federally most chartered banks will not accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with cannabis. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis industry often have trouble finding a bank willing to accept their business. The inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for our customers to operate. There does appears to be recent movement to allow state-chartered banks and credit unions to provide banking to the industry, but as of the date of this report there are only nominal entities that have been formed that offer these services. Further, in a February 6, 2018, Forbes article, United States Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, is reported to have testified that his department is “reviewing the existing guidance.” But he clarified that he doesn’t want to rescind it without having an alternate policy in place to address public safety concerns.
Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes, unlicensed money transmitter statute and the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. Despite guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury suggesting it may be possible for financial institutions to provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks remain hesitant to offer banking services to cannabis-related businesses. Consequently, those businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to encounter difficulty establishing banking relationships. Our inability to maintain our current bank accounts would make it difficult for us to operate our business, increase our operating costs, and pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges and could result in our inability to implement our business plan. Similarly, many of our customers are directly involved in cannabis sales and further restriction to their ability to access banking services may make it difficult for them to purchase our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to certain federal regulations relating to cash reporting.
The Bank Secrecy Act, enforced by FinCEN, requires us to report currency transactions in excess of $10,000, including identification of the customer by name and social security number, to the IRS. This regulation also requires us to report certain suspicious activity, including any transaction that exceeds $5,000 that we know, suspect or have reason to believe involves funds from illegal activity or is designed to evade federal regulations or reporting requirements and to verify sources of funds. Substantial penalties can be imposed against us if we fail to comply with this regulation. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, the imposition of a substantial penalty could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liability
Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as general liability, and directors and officer’s insurance, is more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because we are service providers to companies in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.
-13-
RISK ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDUSTRY
Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of products we sell.
Demand for our products is often affected by general economic conditions as well as product-use trends in our target markets. These changes may result in decreased demand for our products. The occurrence of these conditions is beyond our ability to control and, when they occur, they may have a significant impact on our sales and results of operations. The inability or unwillingness of our customers to pay a premium for our products due to general economic conditions or a downturn in the economy may have a significant adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.
Changes within the cannabis industry may adversely affect our financial performance.
Changes in the identity, ownership structure and strategic goals of our competitors and the emergence of new competitors in our target markets may harm our financial performance. New competitors may include foreign-based companies and commodity-based domestic producers who could enter our specialty markets if they are unable to compete in their traditional markets. The paper industry has also experienced consolidation of producers and distribution channels. Further consolidation could unite other producers with distribution channels through which we intend to sell our products, thereby limiting access to our target markets.
We are subject to certain tax risks and treatments that could negatively impact our results of operations.
Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking-controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act). The IRS has invoked Section 280E in tax audits against various cannabis businesses in the U.S. that are permitted under applicable state laws. Although the IRS issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of such items is interpreted very narrowly, and the bulk of operating costs and general administrative costs are not permitted to be deducted. While there are currently several pending cases before various administrative and federal courts challenging these restrictions, there is no guarantee that these courts will issue an interpretation of Section 280E favorable to cannabis businesses.
The Company’s industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them and advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.
We are involved in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or products that make our products less desirable to consumers or obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other entities.
We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business
Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize our market. The continued growth of the Internet and intense competition in our industry exacerbates these market characteristics. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of our products. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of our products. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of our current and prospective customers and must achieve significant market acceptance. We could also incur substantial costs if we need to modify our products and services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.
-14-
We also expect that new competitors may introduce products or services that are directly or indirectly competitive with us. These competitors may succeed in developing, products and services that have greater functionality or are less costly than our products and services and may be more successful in marketing such products and services. Technological changes have lowered the cost of operating communications and computer systems and purchasing software. These changes reduce our cost of selling products and providing services, but also facilitate increased competition by reducing competitors’ costs in providing similar products and services. This competition could increase price competition and reduce anticipated profit margins.
RISKS RELATED TO THE SECURITIES MARKETS AND OWNERSHIP OF OUR EQUITY SECURITIES
The Common Stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
The Common Stock has historically been sporadically traded on the OTC Pink Sheets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
The market price for the Common Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of revenue, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our shares of Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our shares are sporadically traded. Because of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares is sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative investment due to, among other matters, our limited operating history and lack of revenue or profit to date, and the uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-averse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares
-15-
on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the securities of a seasoned issuer. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; acceptance of our inventory of games; government regulations, announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; our capital commitments and additions or departures of our key personnel. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our shares regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our shares will be at any time, including as to whether our shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including, but not limited to:
| ● | our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services; | |
| ● | our ability to execute our business plan; | |
| ● | operating results below expectations; | |
| ● | our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof; | |
| ● | announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; | |
| ● | loss of any strategic relationship; | |
| ● | industry developments, including, without limitation, changes in healthcare policies or practices; | |
| ● | economic and other external factors; | |
| ● | period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and | |
| ● | whether an active trading market in our common stock develops and is maintained. |
-16-
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Issuers using the Alternative Reporting standard for filing financial reports with OTC Markets are often subject to large volatility unrelated to the fundamentals of the company.
Our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares, would dilute your proportionate ownership and voting rights.
We are entitled under our articles of incorporation to issue up to 10,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. We have issued and outstanding, as of the date of this prospectus, 3,103,636,740 shares of Common Stock. Our board may generally issue shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or options or warrants to purchase those shares, without further approval by our shareholders based upon such factors as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time. It is likely that we will be required to issue a large amount of additional securities to raise capital to further our development. It is also likely that we will issue a large amount of additional securities to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensatory grants in connection with their services, both in the form of stand-alone grants or under our stock plans. We cannot give you any assurance that we will not issue additional shares of Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares, under circumstances we may deem appropriate at the time.
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our Articles of Incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
Our Articles of Incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.
Anti-takeover provisions may impede the acquisition of our company.
Certain provisions of the Delaware General Statutes have anti-takeover effects and may inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination. These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring us to negotiate with, and to obtain the approval of, our board of directors in connection with such a transaction. However, certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition of us, including an acquisition in which the shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so.
We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.
The stock market in general, and the shares of early stage companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies involved. If these fluctuations occur in the future, the market price of our shares could fall regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If the market price or volume of our shares suffers extreme fluctuations, then we may become involved in this type of litigation, which would be expensive and divert management’s attention and resources from managing our business.
-17-
As a public company, we may also from time to time make forward-looking statements about future operating results and provide some financial guidance to the public markets. Our management has limited experience as a management team in a public company and as a result, projections may not be made timely or set at expected performance levels and could materially affect the price of our shares. Any failure to meet published forward-looking statements that adversely affect the stock price could result in losses to investors, stockholder lawsuits or other litigation, sanctions or restrictions issued by the SEC.
Our Common Stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.
The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common Stock if and when such shares are eligible for sale and may cause a decline in the market value of its stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.
As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us.
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
-18-
As an issuer not required to make reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, holders of restricted shares may not be able to sell shares into the open market as Rule 144 exemptions may not apply.
Under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 holders of restricted shares, may avail themselves of certain exemption from registration is the holder and the issuer meet certain requirements. As a company that is not required to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, referred to as a non-reporting company, we may not, in the future, meet the requirements for an issuer under 144 that would allow a holder to qualify for Rule 144 exemptions. In such an event, holders of restricted stock would have to utilize another exemption from registration or rely on a registration statement to be filed by the Company registered the restricted stock. Currently, the Company has no plans of filing a registration statement with the Commission.
Securities analysts may elect not to report on our Common Stock or may issue negative reports that adversely affect the stock price.
At this time, no securities analysts provide research coverage of our Common Stock, and securities analysts may not elect not to provide such coverage in the future. It may remain difficult for our company, with its small market capitalization, to attract independent financial analysts that will cover our Common Stock. If securities analysts do not cover our Common Stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect the stock’s actual and potential market price. The trading market for our Common Stock may be affected in part by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts elect to cover our company and then downgrade the stock, the stock price would likely decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which, in turn, could cause our stock price to decline. This could have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our capital stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the Common Stock price appreciates.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We make forward-looking statements under the “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other sections of this Offering Circular. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors.”
While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Offering Circular describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment.

The following Use of Proceeds is based on estimates made by management. The Company planned the Use of Proceeds after deducting estimated offering expenses estimated to be $23,500. Management prepared the milestones based on three levels of offering raise success: 25% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($2,250,000), 50% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised ($4,500,000), 75% of the Maximum Offering proceeds raised (6,750,000) and the Maximum Offering proceeds raised of ($9,000,000) through the offering. The costs associated with operating as a public company are included in all our budgeted scenarios and management is responsible for the preparation of the required documents to keep the costs to a minimum.
Although we have no minimum offering, we have calculated used of proceeds such that if we raise 25% of the offering is budgeted to sustain operations for a twelve-month period. 25% of the Maximum Offering is sufficient to keep the Company current with its public listing status costs with prudently budgeted funds remaining which will be sufficient to complete the development of our marketing package. If the Company were to raise 50% of the Maximum Offering, then we would be able to expand our marketing outside the US. Raising the Maximum Offering will enable the Company to implement our full business. If we begin to generate profits, we plan to increase our marketing and sales activity accordingly.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from this offering as follows:

The increase was mainly due to the accounting for the changes in derivative liabilities due to conversions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have primarily financed our operations through the sale of unregistered equity and convertible notes payable. As of September 30, 2020, our Company had cash balance of $681,093, current assets totaling $2,724,653 and total assets of $4,243,737. We had current and total liabilities totaling $7,895,692 and $9,047,986, respectively. Stockholders’ equity reflected a deficiency of $4,804,249.
The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(38,594) for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
-24-
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $1,708,015 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $1,106,312 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Our capital requirements going forward will consist of financing our operations until we are able to reach a level of revenues and gross margins adequate to equal or exceed our ongoing operating expenses. Other than the notes payable discussed above, borrowings from our bank and the production credit facility with our suppliers, we do not have any credit agreement or source of liquidity immediately available to us.
Given estimates of our Company’s future operating results and our credit arrangements with our suppliers, we are currently forecasting that we will need to secure additional financing to obtain adequate financial resources to reach profitability. As of the date of this report, we estimate that the cash necessary to implement our current business plan for the next twelve months is approximately $2,000,000.
Based on our need to raise additional funds to implement our business plans for the next twelve months, we have included a discussion concerning the presentation of our financial statements on a going concern basis in the notes to our financial statements and our independent public accountants have included a similar discussion in their opinion on our financial statements through June 30, 2020. We will be required in the near future to issue debt or sell our Company’s equity securities in order to raise additional cash, although there are no firm arrangements in place for any such financing at this time. We cannot provide any assurances as to whether we will be able to secure the necessary financing, or the terms of any such financing transaction if one were to occur. The failure to secure such financing could severely curtail our plans for future growth or in more severe scenarios, the continued operations of our Company.
Capital Expenditures
Our current plans do not call for our Company to expend significant amounts for capital expenditures for the foreseeable future beyond relatively insignificant expenditures for office furniture and information technology related equipment as we add employees to our Company. We are however continually evaluating the production processes of our third-party contract manufacturers to determine if there are investments we could make in their processes to achieve manufacturing improvements and significant cost savings. Any such desired investments would require additional cash above our current forecast requirements.

The failure to secure such financing could severely curtail our plans for future growth or in more severe scenarios, the continued operations of our Company.
Capital Expenditures
Our current plans do call for our Company to expend significant amounts for capital expenditures for the foreseeable future beyond relatively insignificant expenditures for office furniture and information technology related equipment and employees as it is part of the requirement to build the infrastructure needed to support the current growth. At the same time, we will continually evaluating the production processes of our third (3rd) party contract manufacturers to determine if there are investments, we could make in their processes to achieve manufacturing improvements and significant cost savings. Any such desired investments would require additional cash above our current forecast requirements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019:
Critical Accounting Policies Involving Management Estimates and Assumptions
Use of Fair Value
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level l - observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Background on FASB’s Development of New Revenue Recognition Standard
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date for ASU 2014-09 by one year. For public entities, the guidance in ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods), and for all other entities, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”), which reduces the complexity when applying the guidance for identifying performance obligations and improves the operability and understandability of the license implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”), which amends the guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. In December 2016, the FASB further issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”), which makes minor corrections or minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments are intended to address implementation and provide additional practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue standard. These amendments have the same effective date as the new revenue standard.
-28-
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts held as bank deposits and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
From time to time, we may maintain bank balances in interest bearing accounts in excess of the $250,000 currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for interest bearing accounts (there is currently no insurance limit for deposits in noninterest bearing accounts). We have not experienced any losses with respect to cash. Management believes our Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts. We grant unsecured credit to our customer’s deemed credit worthy. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis. At the time any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company had accounts receivable net of allowances of $134,517 as of June 30, 2020 and of $218,145 as of June 30, 2019.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods paper and paper-based products ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market. We value inventories using the weighted average costing method (approximate FIFO costing method). We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. If the estimated realizable value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are computed principally using accelerated and straight-line methods using lives of 5 years for machine and equipment, 2-5 years for vehicles, 3-5 years for production, and 1.5-5 years for land improvements.
Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
-29-
Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life. The Company monitors conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. The Company tests its intangible assets with finite lives for potential impairment whenever management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The original estimate of an asset’s useful life and the impact of an event or circumstance on either an asset’s useful life or carrying value involve significant judgment.
Derivative Instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a Lattice Binomial model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Refer to note 9 for details.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). We estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk-free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock.
Loss Per Share
We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive. As of June 30, 2020, there are approximately 1,974,584,090 potential shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debts and PPM, and 10,578,880 shares of warrants were excluded in calculating diluted loss per share for the year ended June 30, 2020 due to the fact that issuance of the shares is anti-dilutive as a result of the Company’s net loss.

Income taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their perspective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax position, as defined, ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspect of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of October 2, 2008 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our “major” tax jurisdictions and generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2013 U.S. federal income tax returns. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards, which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. We have no interest or penalties as of June 30, 2020.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company will adopt this standard with an effective date of July 1, 2019 using the prospective adoption approach.
-31-
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which amends the existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. This ASU becomes effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606. Entities will apply the ASU by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the adoption date. The Company adopted this update on July 1, 2018 and the adoption had no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The pronouncement simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. The pronouncement also improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
The FASB recently 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to reduce complexity in applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as derivatives.
In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features requiring separate accounting from the host contract.
The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. We are still evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Related Party Transactions
On January 23, 2013, the Company entered into a promissory note with its former employee who owns less than 5% of the Company’s stock. The original principal amount was $40,000 and the note bore no interest. The note was payable upon demand. As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, this note had a balance of $15,427.
On January 14, 2015, the Company entered into a promissory note with Richard Ko (an employee of the Company, who owns less than 5% of the Company’s stock). The principle amount was $30,000 and the note bore no interest. The note had a term of one (1) year and was due on January 14, 2016, and became payable upon demand after January 14, 2016. As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, this note had a balance of $0 and $20,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company had an outstanding balance of notes payable due to related parties of $15,427 and $38,000, respectively.
On July 7, 2016, SWC received a loan in total amount of $30,000 from an employee. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, SWC received additional loan in total amount of $105,000 from a related party. The amount of the loan bear no interest and due on demand. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repaid $55,000 to the related party. As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the balance of the loan due to related party was $50,000 and $30,000, respectively.
Going Concern
The Company sustained continued operating losses during the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is endeavoring to increase revenue-generating operations. While priority is on generating cash from operations through the sale of the Company’s products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.

Company Overview
Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we’’, “us” or “the/our Company’’) is a publicly-traded company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our previous legal name was Diversified Opportunities, Inc. Our Company operates much of its business activities through our subsidiary, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’).
Shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market, which is a quotation system for early-stage and developing companies under the trading symbol “SGMD”.
Our corporate website is www.Sugarmade.com.
Sugarmade, Inc. was founded in 2010. In 2014, CarryOutSupplies.com was acquired by Sugarmade, Inc., creating the Company as it is today. As of the date of this offering circular , we are involved in two main business areas including:
1) the supply of products to the quick-service restaurant sub-sector of the restaurant industry, and, as an importer and distributor of non-medical protection equipment, and
2) as an operator of the Sacramento, California based Budcars Cannabis Delivery Service (“Budcars”) Early in 2020, the Company acquired a 40% stake in the Budcars operations and an option to gain a controlling interest.
Our CarryOutSupplies.com Operation
Our legacy business operation, CarryOutSupplies.com, is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies, servicing more than 2,000 quick-service restaurants (the “Quick Service Restaurant Sector”). Our products include double poly paper cups for cold beverage; disposable, clear, plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, edible packaging, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons, and many other similar products for this market sector. CarryOutSupplies.com was founded in 2009. Our products are viewable on our website: www.CarryOutSupplies.com.
We believe we occupy a defensible space within the Quick Service Restaurant Sector by way of our significant experience in serving this customer base, our knowledge of the industry fundamentals, and our significant experience in Asia factory sourcing and the importation of goods from Asian factories. Our niche within the market pertains to serving the many quick-service restaurants that wish to acquire custom printed products, such as those embossed with logos, but the minimum order size for such customization had been cost-prohibitive. With that in mind, CarryOutSupplies.com was founded to provide products to this underserved section of the market. Since that time, the Company has become a key supplier to more than 2,000 establishments, particularly within the frozen dessert segment.
-34-
The business of supplying such products to the quick-service restaurant sector remains highly competitive. Over the past few years, operating margins have compressed as a result of increased competition, the emergence of relatively inexpensive digital printing processes, and the larger printing and paper product manufacturers lowering minimum order quantities. Sugarmade expects the sector to remain highly competitive and is responding to the industry changes by realigning staff, eliminating less profitable products, and introducing new product areas. Please reference “Risk Factors” beginning on Page 3, for further information and an outline of the risks associated with this business operation.
Expansion into Non-Medical Protective Equipment.
Our CarryOutSupplies operation has recently expanded its product offerings to include consumable sanitary supplies, such as non-medical gloves, non-medical facemasks, face shields and other non-medical protective equipment. We believe our significant experience in sourcing products from Asian factories and importing goods from Asia makes us well-equipped to operate within the marketplace for non-medical, consumable, protective equipment. Recent worldwide pandemic issues cause us to believe this market sector will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
As of June 30, 2020, we have fulfilled $922,350 of the purchase orders, which in total are in excess of $10,000,000. There are more than $9,000,000 of pending orders and demands for mostly nitrile gloves. Supplies of non-medical protective equipment on the world-wide market remain extremely tight, and bidding for available supplies is highly competitive with larger and better-financed companies often prevailing in the bidding process. This has limited our ability to fill a significant portion of the outstanding purchase orders.
We have identified multiple suppliers and brokers of non-medical protective equipment, but thus far have had only limited success in acquiring the needed products to fill our orders. In several instances, we have placed orders with factories and brokers only to have the products we expected to be delivered to us diverted away from our Company and apparently to other companies that also have pending orders. We expect the supply chain for non-medical protective equipment to remain tight for the foreseeable future. At the same time, our staff continues to search for reliable factories and/or brokers from which we will be able to source products to fulfill customer purchase orders successfully. Thus, there can be no assurance our Company will secure a supplier, or if a selected supplier ultimately delivers the equipment, we have ordered. Due to these supply chain issues, there can be no assurance we will deliver upon any of the pending purchase orders.
Our current customers and prospective customers who have issued purchase orders to our Company are under no legal obligation to consummate a purchase from us. Those companies can acquire the desired goods from other sources. Pending purchase orders are cancellable by the issuing party at any time for any or no reason. Thus, there can be no assurance that even if we can fill the orders, the ordering entity will ultimately purchase the equipment outlined initially in a particular pending purchase order. Upon delivery of equipment from our suppliers to our warehouses, we will notify companies that have issued us purchase orders to confirm the desire to accept the equipment and make payment to us. Upon acceptance and shipment to the ordering entity, we will then recognize the revenue for the shipped equipment and subsequently subtract that amount from the pending purchase orders.
We plan to continue our business pursuits relative to our CarryOutSuppies.com business, including the business relative to non-medical protective equipment. We have significantly restructured the operations over the past year in order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. We plan to continue to modify our strategies and product lines to remain competitive in these niche market sectors. Please reference “Risk Factors” beginning on Page 3, for further information and an outline of the risks associated with this business operation.
BudCars Cannabis Delivery Service
During early 2020, our Company entered into an agreement to purchase Bud Cars, Inc., a California corporation, which is engaged in the licensed, and legal under California state law, delivery of cannabis, and cannabis containing products. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Sugarmade acquired a 40% stake in the operation and an option to gain a controlling interest in the delivery service.
Cannabis is already one of the fastest-growing markets in the U.S. According to Fortune Business Insights, during 2019, the cannabis market produced approximately $100 billion in U.S sales. Growth over the next few years is expected to top 32% compounded annually. The U.S. cannabis segment has clearly been one of the fastest-growing markets within the American economy over the past 50 years. The California market clearly leads the U.S. market with the legal California market worth at least $13 billion annually with strong growth continuing. The illegal market is likely even larger.
As the market shifts from the black to white markets, the legal providers are expected to further benefit. We urge investors to consider this trend in their investment decisions. One of the primary reasons many legal providers across several states have developed business issues is flawed state government policies that have allowed illegal operators to continue in business at the expense of the licensed and heavily taxed industry.
According to BDS Analytics and Arcview Market Research, two firms that closely monitor the cannabis marketplace, California’s total cannabis market is expected to produce about $12.8 billion this year, with $8.7 billion going to illicit operators and $3.1 billion to the state-authorized market.
The white market/black market balance is now for the first time beginning to shift as authorities crack down on unlicensed business. This is beginning to benefit legal operators. For example, California regulators and law enforcement agencies have recently announced hundreds of enforcement actions across California seizing millions of dollars of black market cannabis products. We believe this trend toward enforcement against illegal operators will directly benefit companies such as Sugaramade’s BudCars cannabis delivery service.

The outbreak of COVID-19, new social unrest in the United States, and the general movement toward retail home delivery have resulted in radical shifts in the cannabis marketplace. As a result, the general market for delivery services is growing rapidly.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company is to pay Indigo Dye Group Corp., the owners of Budcars $700,000, and in turn received an option to acquire an additional 30%, which upon exercise will provide a controlling stake in the operation for the Company. The $700,000 investment is to be exclusively utilized for business expansion and operational purposes with zero funds used as consideration for the share purchase to the owners of BudCars or Indigo. Sugarmade plans to apply its operational expertise to enhance the business operations of Budcars, including geographic delivery expansion.
The specific terms of the agreement included the following:
1. Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) into Indigo for inventory, equipment, and marketing expenses.
2. Sugarmade will make the Investment in twelve monthly equal installments of $58,333 with the acceleration of the payment schedule possible depending on business growth, cash flow needs and capital availability.
3. Sugarmade will receive a Forty Percent (40%) equity in Indigo Dye upon execution of the final agreement. The value used for this transaction is $1,750,000 and each percentage (1%) of the company is worth $17,500.
4. The Parties agree the Investment will primarily be used for business expansion with the exact details of the spending to be further discussed and outlined in a final agreement. The Parties have discussed the additional amount required to open new locations. The estimated investments of each new location will require between $175,000 and $350,000, details of which will be agreed to at a later date.
5. An incentive being offered to Sugarmade as an inducement of the Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000), Sugarmade and or its assigned will be granted an option to purchase additional Thirty Percent (30%) the equity of Indigo Dye. This option is being granted by Clinton Walker, therefore for the amount of $525,000 to be paid to Clinton Walker for the 30% of Indigo that he owns. This option will be valid for 36 months.
-36-
Since late May 2020, the Company has been actively involved in development of Indigo’s operations with power to direct the activities and significantly impact Indigo’s economic performance. The Company also has obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits from Indigo. As such, in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J, Indigo is considered an VIE of the Company. For more details regarding Indigo financials please refer to the footnotes to our financial statements, specifically Note#5.
The operators of Budcars and the Company have recently announced the expansion of delivery services into additional areas of Northern California and most recently into the substantially sized Los Angeles marketplace. We are in the process of analyzing the entry in other California markets.
Budcars operates its delivery service in strict adherence to all state, local and municipal regulations and is fully licensed for operations by the State of California regulators.
The Company plans to expand into licensed cannabis cultivation and has secured an option to lease a property containing a 5,000 square-foot cultivation facility located near Sacramento, California. Finalizing the lease is contingent on gaining appropriate State of California licenses, and local permits and licenses. At this time, such licenses and permits are pending, and there can be no assurances the Company will be successful in its efforts to complete the permitting and licensing process. While the Company plans to begin operations upon receipt of licenses and permits, unforeseen circumstances beyond licensing and permitting issues could prevent the Company from realizing success in beginning operations at the proposed site.
The Company is in process of expanding its business to include the licensed and regulated cultivation of cannabis. On September 28, 2020, the Company and LMK Capital LLC (“LMK”) entered into a lease agreement where LMK agreed to lease to the Company five acres located in Northern California. The property is owned by LMK. Jimmy Chan, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and majority stockholder of the Company, is the majority owner of LMK. This transaction is considered at Related Party transaction under SEC Regulation SK. The Company plans to cultivate cannabis on the property which it will market as both white-label and branded cannabis products; also likely to be distributed through the BudCars Cannabis Delivery Service. Sugarmade is currently Company preparing the required documentation to apply for approval for construction of greenhouses, processing building, and other licenses as may be required. This new business for the Company, is still in the formative stages and has yet to produce any revenues.
Competition within the cannabis delivery market, especially in the major metropolitan areas of California, is intense. Additionally, cannabis delivery companies face intense regulatory scrutiny, significant recording keeping requirements, strict permitting, significant taxes rates, and a host of other regulatory and operational issues, and licensing and other related operational hurdles. Please reference “Risk Factors” beginning on Page 3, for further information and an outline of the risks associated with this business operation.
Government Regulations
As a result of our current ownership position in Budcars, and the possibility of expanding this ownership position, several state and federal regulations could impact our business operations and our ability to generate both revenues and profits.
As of December 2019, there are a total of 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, with legislation passed as it relates to medicinal cannabis. Of these states, 11 have decriminalized adult use cannabis legislation. These state laws are in direct conflict with the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811) (“CSA”), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted use for medical treatment in the U.S., and lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision.
-37-
Although the possession, cultivation, and distribution of marijuana for medical and adult use is permitted in California and Nevada, provided compliance with applicable state and local laws, rules, and regulations, marijuana is illegal under federal law. We believe we operate our business in compliance with applicable California laws and regulations. Any changes in federal, state or local law enforcement regarding marijuana may affect our ability to operate our business. Strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in the inability to proceed with our business plans, could expose us to potential criminal liability, and could subject our properties to civil forfeiture.
The U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amounts of marijuana for use on private property but has relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In the event the DOJ reverses its stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical marijuana and recreational marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenue and profits.
In an effort to provide guidance to federal law enforcement, the DOJ has issued Guidance Regarding Marijuana Enforcement to all United States Attorneys in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General David Ogden on October 19, 2009, in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General James Cole on June 29, 2011 and in a memorandum from Deputy Attorney General James Cole on August 29, 2013. Each memorandum provides that the DOJ is committed to the enforcement of the CSA but, the DOJ is also committed to using its limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent, and rational way. On January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions revoked the Ogden Memo and the Cole Memos.
In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, which is also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“the AUMA”), in a ballot initiative. Among other things, the AUMA makes it legal for adults over the age of 21 to use marijuana and to possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana flowers and 8 grams of marijuana concentrates. Individuals are also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, the AUMA establishes a licensing system for businesses to, among other things, cultivate, process, and distribute marijuana products under certain conditions. On January 1, 2018, the California Bureau of Marijuana Control enacted regulations to implement the AUMA. We have obtained the necessary permits and licenses to expand our existing business to distribute marijuana in compliance with the laws in the State of California. Despite the changes in state laws, marijuana remains illegal under federal law. On January 1, 2018, the California Bureau of Marijuana Control enacted regulations to implement the AUMA.
We are monitoring the Trump administration’s, the DOJ’s and Congress’ positions on federal marijuana law and policy. Since the start of the new Congress in January 2019, there have been positive discussions about the Federal Government’s approach to cannabis. The DOJ has not signaled any change in its enforcement efforts. Based on public statements and reports, we understand that certain aspects of those laws and policies are currently under review, but no official changes have been announced. It is possible that certain changes to existing laws or policies could have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.
State and local laws do not always conform to the federal standard. In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”), in a ballot initiative. Among other things, the AUMA makes it legal for adults over the age of 21 to use marijuana and to possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana flowers and 8 grams of marijuana concentrates. Individuals are also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, the AUMA establishes a licensing system for businesses to, among other things, cultivate, process, and distribute marijuana products under certain conditions. On January 1, 2018 the California Bureau of Cannabis Control enacted regulations to implement the AUMA.
If we are unable to obtain and maintain the permits and licenses required to operate our business in compliance with state and local regulations in California, we may experience negative effects on our business and results of operations.
-38-
Local, state, and federal medical and adult use marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us or the Budcars operation to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt certain aspects of our business plan and result in a material adverse effect on certain aspects of our planned operations and/or those of Budcars. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.
Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits marijuana businesses from deducting their ordinary and necessary business expenses, forcing us to pay higher effective federal tax rates than similar companies in other industries. The effective tax rate on a marijuana business depends on how large its ratio of nondeductible expenses is to its total revenues. Therefore, our marijuana business may be less profitable than it could otherwise be.
Beginning July 1, 2018, cannabis goods must meet all statutory and regulatory requirements. A licensee can only sell cannabis goods that have been tested by a licensed testing laboratory and have passed all statutory and regulatory testing requirements. In order to be sold, cannabis goods harvested or manufactured prior to January 1, 2018, must be tested by a licensed testing laboratory and must comply with all testing requirements in section 5715 of the Bureau of Cannabis Control (“BCC”) regulations. Cannabis goods that do not meet all statutory and regulatory requirements must be destroyed in accordance with the rules pertaining to destruction. Adherence to these regulations may affect the revenues and profits of the Budcars operation and our ability to recognize profits from our investment in Budcars.
Our Company closely monitors the potential impact of government regulation on our business operations and on business operations of Budcars.
Employees and Consultants
As of June 15, 2020, the Company had approximately six (6) employees & two (2) contractors.
| Properties |

The following summary is a description of the material terms of our capital stock and is not complete. You should also refer to our articles of incorporation, as amended and our bylaws, as amended, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.
General
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 2,657,061,404 shares of Common Stock outstanding, 2,000,000 shares of Class A Preferred shares outstanding and 2,541,500 shares of Series B Preferred outstanding.
Common Stock
Our Board of Directors has created a class of shares of Common Stock designated as the shares of Common Stock.
Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters on which holders are permitted to vote, including the election of directors. The Company’s shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights.
Subject to the preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding classes of stock, the holders of the shares of Common Stock will share equally on a per share basis any dividends, when and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If the Company is liquidated, dissolved, or wound up, the holders of the shares of Common Stock will be entitled to a ratable share of any distribution to shareholders, after satisfaction of all the Company’s liabilities and of the prior rights of any outstanding classes of the Company’s stock. Shares of Common Stock carry no preemptive or other subscription rights to purchase shares of the Company’s stock and are not convertible, redeemable, or assessable.
A total of 10,000,000,000 Shares of Common Stock have been authorized, and 2,657,061,404 shares of Common Stock have been issued and are outstanding as of September 30,2020.

Our Corporation has created a class of preferred stock designated as the Class A Preferred Stock (“Class A Preferred”), of which two million (2,000,000) have been issued and are outstanding. Shareholders of Class A Preferred shall not be eligible for dividends. Liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up rights for the Class A Preferred are based on distribution to Class A Preferred holders on an "as-converted," basis such that each share of Class A Preferred shall be entitled to receive the amount distributable to each share of Common Stock times the Conversion Factor on the record date for the distribution. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will hold voting rights on all matters put forth to the common shareholders. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock held will receive one vote as to be on par with a single share of Common Stock in the Corporation. The conversion terms, which are outlined in detail in the Certificate of Designation for the Class A Preferred are based on the Common Stock "fair market value" of the holder’s initial investment plus a five (5%) percent annualized return. Fair market value of the Common Stock equivalent will be determined by averaging the closing sale price of a Common Share for the forty (40) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.
Series B Preferred Stock
The Corporation has created a class of preferred stock designated as the Series B Senior Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). 2,541,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been issued and are outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock will participate in all dividends and distributions, if any, on an as converted to Common Stock basis. Each holder of shares of the Series B Preferred shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred could be converted immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation. Each Series B Preferred Share shall be redeemable into One Thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock. The Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have on demand conversion rights at any time Ninety Days (90 Days) after acquisition of any such Series B Preferred Stock.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Delaware law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate (with a few exceptions) the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that eliminate, to the extent allowable under Delaware law, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer, as the case may be. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance for our directors, officers, employees and agents for some liabilities. We currently maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by directors and officers in the performance of their duties
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to the indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws.
There is currently no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Transfer Agent shall send out email confirmations of positions and notifications of changes “from” Company upon each and every event affecting any person’s ownership interest, with a footer referencing Transfer Agent.
ERISA Considerations
Special considerations apply when contemplating the purchase of Shares of our common stock on behalf of employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), plans, individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA, and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”). A person considering the purchase of the Shares on behalf of a Plan is urged to consult with tax and ERISA counsel regarding the effect of such purchase and, further, to determine that such a purchase will not result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, the Code or a violation of some other provision of ERISA, the Code or other applicable law. We will rely on such determination made by such persons, although no Shares of our common stock will be sold to any Plans if management believes that such sale will result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).
NOTE: For the purposes of calculating your Net Worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.
In order to purchase Shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our common stock by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below) that purchases our common stock pursuant to this offering and holds such common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of the Code. This discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the Code, applicable United States Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and rulings and pronouncements of the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or subject to different interpretation. This discussion does not address all the tax consequences that may be relevant to specific holders in light of their particular circumstances or to holders subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws (such as financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, retirement plans, partnerships and their partners, dealers in securities, brokers, United States expatriates, persons who have acquired our common stock as compensation or otherwise in connection with the performance of services, or persons who have acquired our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment). This discussion does not address the state, local, or foreign tax or United States federal estate or alternative minimum tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of our common stock. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock, as well as the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws.
As used in this discussion, the term “non-U.S. holder” refers to a beneficial owner of our common stock that is not, for United States federal income tax purposes, any of the following:
● an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
● a corporation (or other entity or arrangement taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia;
● any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes;
● an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or
● a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (ii) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership that holds our common stock and any partner who owns an interest in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our common stock.
You should consult your tax advisors concerning the particular United States federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our common stock as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other applicable taxing jurisdiction in light of your particular circumstances.
-52-
Distributions on Common Stock
As discussed under “Dividend Policy” above, we do not currently expect to make distributions on our stock. If we do make a distribution of cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our stock or rights to acquire our stock) in respect of our common stock, the distribution generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits will generally be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, on a share-by-share basis, to the extent of the non-U.S. holder’s tax basis in our common stock, and, to the extent such portion exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s tax basis in our common stock, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of the common stock, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “—Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition.”
The gross amount of dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to our common stock generally will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless (i) an applicable income tax treaty reduces or eliminates such tax, and the non-U.S. holder certifies that it is eligible for the benefits of such treaty in the manner described below, or (ii) the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) and the non-U.S. holder satisfies certain certification and disclosure requirements. In the latter case, generally, a non-U.S. holder will be subject to United States federal income tax with respect to such dividends on a net income basis at regular graduated United States federal income tax rates in the same manner as a United States person (as defined under the Code). Additionally, a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items.
A non-U.S. holder that wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty with respect to dividends on our common stock will be required to provide the applicable withholding agent with a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) and certify under penalties of perjury that such holder (i) is not a United States person (as defined under the Code) and (ii) is eligible for the benefits of such treaty, and the withholding agent must not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the certification is incorrect. This certification must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of dividends and may be required to be updated periodically. If our common stock is held through a non-United States partnership or non-United States intermediary, such partnership or intermediary will also be required to comply with additional certification requirements under applicable Treasury regulations. A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
Prospective investors, and in particular prospective investors engaged in a United States trade or business, are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of owning our common stock.
-53-
Sale, Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition
Generally, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax on gain realized upon the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States), (ii) such non-U.S. holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied, or (iii) we are or become a “United States real property holding corporation” (as defined in Section 897(c) of the Code) at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for our common stock and either (a) our common stock has ceased to be traded on an established securities market prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition occurs, or (b) the non-U.S. holder owns (actually or constructively) more than five percent of our common stock at some time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or such holder’s holding period for our common stock. Although there can be no assurances in this regard, we believe that we are not a United States real property holding corporation, and we do not expect to become a United States real property holding corporation.
Generally, gain described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph will be subject to tax on a net income basis at regular graduated United States federal income tax rates in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a United States person (as defined under the Code). A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. An individual non-U.S. holder described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph will be required to pay (subject to applicable income tax treaties) a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition, which may be offset by certain United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Withholding at a rate of 30% is required on dividends in respect of our common stock, and, after December 31, 2016 will be required on gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock, in each case, held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the United States Treasury Department to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain United States persons and by certain non-United States entities that are wholly or partially owned by United States persons and to withhold on certain payments. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or future Treasury regulations, may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our common stock is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-United States entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies that such entity does not have any substantial United States owners or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s substantial United States owners. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on their investment in our common stock.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS
Broker-Dealer Requirements
Each of the participating broker-dealers, authorized registered representatives or any other person selling Shares on our behalf is required to:

● maintain, for at least six (6) years, records of the information used to determine that an investment in our Shares is suitable and appropriate for each investor.

-55-
Stock Certificates
Ownership of the Shares will be “book-entry” only form, meaning that ownership interests shall be recorded by the Transfer Agent, and kept only on the books and records of Transfer Agent. There will be no cost to the Subscriber to hold the shares, in book entry, on the books of the company. No physical certificates shall be issued, nor received, by Transfer Agent or any other person. The Transfer Agent records and maintains securities of Company in book-entry form only. Book-entry form means the Transfer Agent maintains shares on an investor’s behalf without issuing or receiving physical certificates. Securities that are held in un-certificated book-entry form have the same rights and privileges as those held in certificate form, but the added convenience of electronic transactions (e.g. transferring ownership positions between a broker-dealer and the Transfer Agent), as well as reducing risks and costs required to store, manage, process and replace lost or stolen securities certificates. Transfer Agent shall send out email confirmations of positions and notifications of changes “from” Company upon each and every event affecting any person’s ownership interest, with a footer referencing Transfer Agent.
Restrictions Imposed by the USA PATRIOT Act and Related Acts
In accordance with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the USA PATRIOT Act, the securities offered hereby may not be offered, sold, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any “unacceptable investor,” which means anyone who is:
● a “designated national,” “specially designated national,” “specially designated terrorist,” “specially designated global terrorist,” “foreign terrorist organization,” or “blocked person” within the definitions set forth in the Foreign Assets Control Regulations of the United States, or U.S., Treasury Department;
● acting on behalf of, or an entity owned or controlled by, any government against whom the U.S. maintains economic sanctions or embargoes under the Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department;
● within the scope of Executive Order 13224 — Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, effective September 24, 2001;
● a person or entity subject to additional restrictions imposed by any of the following statutes or regulations and executive orders issued thereunder: the Trading with the Enemy Act, the National Emergencies Act, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the United Nations Participation Act, the International Security and Development Cooperation Act, the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994, the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996, the Cuban Democracy Act, the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act and the Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs Appropriations Act or any other law of similar import as to any non-U.S. country, as each such act or law has been or may be amended, adjusted, modified or reviewed from time to time; or
● designated or blocked, associated or involved in terrorism, or subject to restrictions under laws, regulations, or executive orders as may apply in the future similar to those set forth above.
-56-
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
An investment in us by an employee benefit plan is subject to additional considerations because the investments of these plans are subject to the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and restrictions imposed by Section 4975 of the Code. For these purposes the term “employee benefit plan” includes, but is not limited to, qualified pension, profit-sharing and stock bonus plans, Keogh plans, simplified employee pension plans and tax deferred annuities or IRAs established or maintained by an employer or employee organization. Among other things, consideration should be given to:
● whether the investment is prudent under Section 404(a)(1)(B) of ERISA;
● whether in making the investment, that plan will satisfy the diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA; and
● whether the investment will result in recognition of unrelated business taxable income by the plan and, if so, the potential after-tax investment returns.
The person with investment discretion with respect to the assets of an employee benefit plan, often called a fiduciary, should determine whether an investment in us is authorized by the appropriate governing instrument and is a proper investment for the plan.
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit employee benefit plans from engaging in specified transactions involving “plan assets” with parties that are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code with respect to the plan.
In addition to considering whether the purchase of Shares is a prohibited transaction, a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan should consider whether the plan will, by investing in us, be deemed to own an undivided interest in our assets, with the result that our operations would be subject to the regulatory restrictions of ERISA, including its prohibited transaction rules, as well as the prohibited transaction rules of the Code.
The Department of Labor regulations provide guidance with respect to whether the assets of an entity in which employee benefit plans acquire equity interests would be deemed “plan assets” under some circumstances. Under these regulations, an entity’s assets would not be considered to be “plan assets” if, among other things:
(1) the equity interests acquired by employee benefit plans are publicly offered securities - i.e., the equity interests are widely held by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and each other, freely transferable and registered under some provisions of the federal securities laws;
(2) the entity is an “operating company”—i.e., it is primarily engaged in the production or sale of a product or service other than the investment of capital either directly or through a majority-owned subsidiary or subsidiaries; or
(3) there is no significant investment by benefit plan investors, which is defined to mean that less than 25% of the value of each class of equity interest is held by the employee benefit plans referred to above.
-57-
We do not intend to limit investment by benefit plan investors in us because we anticipate that we will qualify as an “operating company”. If the Department of Labor were to take the position that we are not an operating company and we had significant investment by benefit plans, then we may become subject to the regulatory restrictions of ERISA which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our common stock.
Plan fiduciaries contemplating a purchase of Shares should consult with their own counsel regarding the consequences under ERISA and the Code in light of the serious penalties imposed on persons who engage in prohibited transactions or other violations.
ACCEPTANCE OF SUBSCRIPTIONS ON BEHALF OF PLANS IS IN NO RESPECT A REPRESENTATION BY OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR ANY OTHER PARTY RELATED TO US THAT THIS INVESTMENT MEETS THE RELEVANT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS BY ANY PARTICULAR PLAN OR THAT THIS INVESTMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN. THE PERSON WITH INVESTMENT DISCRETION SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER ATTORNEY AND FINANCIAL ADVISERS AS TO THE PROPRIETY OF AN INVESTMENT IN US IN LIGHT OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PARTICULAR PLAN.
The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon by Eilers Law Group, P.A.
L&L CPAS, PA, our independent registered public accountant, has audited our financial statements included in this Form 1A to the extent and for the periods set forth in their audit report. L&L CPAS, PA has presented its report with respect to our audited financial statements.

The necessity to file current reports will be triggered by certain corporate events, similar to the ongoing reporting obligation faced by issuers under the Exchange Act, however the requirement to file a Form 1-U is expected to be triggered by significantly fewer corporate events than that of the Form 8-K. Such reports and other information will be available for inspection and copying at the public reference room and on the Commission’s website referred to above.

The board of directors shall be deemed to have made a report available to each stockholder as required if it has either (i) filed such report with the SEC via its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval, or EDGAR, system and such report is publicly available on such system or (ii) made such report available on any website maintained by the Company and available for viewing by the stockholders. |
| 3. | Tax Information. On or before the last day of the month immediately following our fiscal year, which is currently July 1st through June 30th, we will send to each stockholder such tax information as shall be reasonably required for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. |

| 1. | Nature of Business |
Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we’ ’us” or “the/our Company’’) is a publicly-traded company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our previous legal name was Diversified Opportunities, Inc. Our Company, Sugarmade, Inc. operates much of its business activities through our subsidiary, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’). Sugarmade, Inc. was founded in 2010. In 2014, CarryOutSupplies.com was acquired by Sugarmade, Inc., creating the Company as it is today.
As of September 30, 2020, we are involved in two main business areas including:
1) The supply of consumable products to the quick-service restaurant sub-sector of the restaurant industry, and as an importer and distributor of non-medical personal protection equipment to business and consumers, and,
2) As an investor in the Budcars licensed cannabis delivery service brand (“Budcars” or the “Budcars Brand”) and as a joint owner and joint operator in Budcar’s first operating location in Sacramento, California. During early 2020, the Company gained a 40% stake in the Budcars Brand and in the Sacramento delivery operations via acquiring a 40% stake in Indigo Dye Group (“Indigo”). Under the terms of the agreement with Indigo, Sugarmade acquired an option to purchase an additional 30% interest in Budcars, upon which will provide the Company with a controlling interest. As of the date of this filing, the option has not yet been exercised and the Company’s stake in Budcars is at 40%.
Our legacy business operation, CarryOutSupplies.com, is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies, servicing more than 2,000 quick-service restaurants (the “Quick Service Restaurant Sector”). Our products include double poly paper cups for cold beverage; disposable, clear, plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, edible packaging, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons, and many other similar products for this market sector. CarryOutSupplies.com was founded in 2009. We have recently expanded the CarryOutSupplies.com operation to include non-medical personal protective equipment, which we also offer via our website.

Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, which contains our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, SWC Group Inc., and Indigo Dye Group Corp., a variable interest entity (“VIE”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going concern
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is endeavoring to increase revenue-generating operations. While priority is on generating cash from operations through the sale of the Company’s products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms to our Company, or which may not be available at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC’’) No. 606, Revenue Recognition. Sugarmade applied a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:
| Machinery and equipment | 3-5 years | |||
| Furniture and equipment | 7 years | |||
| Vehicles | 5 years | |||
| Leasehold improvements | 5 years |
Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset's expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company, as of June 30, 2020, performed an impairment test of all of its intangible assets. Based on the Company’s analysis, the company had an amortization of intangible assets of $350 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Leases
In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.
The new standard became effective April 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.
The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases. All existing leases are reported under this rule.
Under ASC 840, leases were classified as either capital or operating, and the classification significantly impacted the effect the contract had on the company's financial statements. Capital lease classification resulted in a liability that was recorded on a company's balance sheet, whereas operating leases did not impact the balance sheet. After the new adoption, $1,105,755 of operating lease right-of-use asset and $1,140,041 of operating lease liabilities were reflected on the Company’s June 30, 2020 financial statements and $1,040,651 of operating lease right-of-use asset and $1,075,612 of operating lease liabilities were reflected on the Company’s September 30, 2020 financial statements.

Stock based compensation
Stock based compensation cost to employees is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). We estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock. We use our company’s own data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.
Earnings (Loss) per share
We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The Company used Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities in determining the fair value using the Binomial option-pricing model for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Derivative instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
The Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2020 substantially all of its operations are conducted in three industry segments – (1) paper and paper-based products such as paper cups, cup lids, food containers, etc., which accounts for approximately 24% of the Company’s revenues; (2) non-medical supplies such as non-medical fascial mask, which accounts for approximately 3% of the Company’s total revenues; (3) cannabis products delivery service and sales, which accounts for approximately 73% of the Company’s total revenues.
New accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes an ROU model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company have adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The pronouncement simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. The pronouncement also improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

| 6. | Legal Proceedings |
From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. As of September 30, 2020, there were no legal claims pending or threatened against the Company that in the opinion of our management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as of September 30, 2020, we were involved in the following legal proceedings:
| ● | On December 11, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint from two convertible note holders and investors in the Company. On February 21, 2017, the Company signed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the matter of Hannan vs. Sugarmade. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the company agreed to pay the plaintiffs an aggregate of $227,000 to settle all claims against the Company, which included the payoff of two notes outstanding. The parties had estimated the value of the notes at approximately $80,000. As of June 30, 2020, third parties had purchased two (2) notes of approximately $80,000. As of September 30, 2020, there remains a balance, plus accrued interest on the $227,000 and on the $80,000 due under the notes. | |
| ● | On August 13, 2019, a lawsuit was filed against the Company for unpaid legal fees of $50,000 which originated from the Company’s former chairman and CEO. The Company entered into a settlement and owes a remaining total of $30,000, payable at the rate of $10,000 per month under this agreement. |
There can be no assurances the ultimate liability relative to these lawsuits will not exceed what is outlined above.
| 7. | Cash |
Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts held as bank deposits and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
From time to time, we may maintain bank balances in interest bearing accounts in excess of the $250,000 currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for interest bearing accounts (there is currently no insurance limit for deposits in noninterest bearing accounts). We have not experienced any losses with respect to cash. Management believes our Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the periods ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows and the related notes to consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements)for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and expects continuing future losses, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Nature of Business
Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the/our Company’’) is a publicly traded company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our previous legal name was Diversified Opportunities, Inc. Our Company, Sugarmade, Inc. operates much of its business activities through our subsidiary, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’).
Sugarmade, Inc. was founded in 2010. In 2014, CarryOutSupplies.com was acquired by Sugarmade, Inc., creating the Company as it is today. As of June 30, 2020, we were involved in two businesses including the supply of products to the quick service restaurant sub-sector of the restaurant industry and as an importer, distributor and marketer of hydroponic supplies to various agricultural sectors. We had previously been a marketer of culinary seasoning products Seasoning Stix and Sriracha Seasoning Stix and a marketer of tree-free paper products. These products were discontinued during 2018 in order to focus the majority of our corporate resources on the marketing of hydroponic supplies.
The marketplace in which we plan to be mainly engaged is generally referred to as hydroponic agricultural supplies. While some of our customers are engaged in the legal cultivation, processing and/or distribution of cannabis or cannabis containing products, our Company neither sells any products containing cannabis nor do we handle, process, or distribute any products containing cannabis.
Our legacy business operation, CarryOutSupplies.com, is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies servicing more than 2,000 quick service restaurants. Our products include double poly paper cups for cold beverage; disposable, clear, plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons and many other similar products for this market sector. CarryOutSupplies.com was founded in 2009 when the founders gained first-hand experience within the restaurant industry of the difficulty for restaurant owners to acquire custom printed supplies at a reasonable cost. Many quick service restaurants wish to acquire custom printed products, such as those embossed with logos, but the minimum order size for such customization had been cost prohibitive. With that in mind, carry out supplies was founded to provide products to this underserved section of the market. Since that time, the company has become a key supplier to many popular U.S. franchises, particularly in the frozen dessert segments.
In December 2017, the Company entered into a master marketing agreement with BizRight, LLC (“BizRight”), a leading marketer and manufacturer of hydroponic growth supplies, which offers a range of hydroponics-related products including: HPS grow lights, electronic ballasts, HPS Bulbs, nutrient mixes, environmental control products, pH measurement and calibration solutions and other grow and storage products. BizRight operates the ZenHydro.com website and other e-commerce properties, and sells various products to distributors and retailers. On April 11, 2018, the same rights under the master marketing agreement were assigned to BZRTH. On February 5, 2019, the Company exercised its option to acquire BZRTH and the transaction closed on October 30, 2019. On January 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Rescission and Mutual Release Agreement (“Agreement”) with each of the parties agreeing to rescind the transaction and return all consideration exchanged pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement.
On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into a share sale and purchase agreement with Indigo Dye Group Corp. ("Indigo"). Indigo carries on business as a cannabis delivery business under the name BudCars and the Company has an interest in making an investment in Indigo in order to further its corporate growth goals. Pursuant to the terms of the share sale and purchase agreement:
Sugarmade agreed to invest $700,000 (the “Investment”) into Indigo for inventory, equipment, and marketing expenses. The Investment shall be made in twelve monthly equal installments of $58,333 with the acceleration of the payment schedule possible depending on business growth, cash flow needs and capital availability.
Sugarmade receive a 40% of Indigo’s issued shares. The value used for this transaction is $1,750,000. In the event that the Company is not able to make a payment of $58,333 in any month, it will have 90 days to cure the default. On the 91st day the investment plan will cease and the amount of invested capital will be calculated based on an enterprise value of $1,750,000 or $17,500 per 1% of owned equity.
In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the share purchase agreement (option provisions), the Company may acquire an additional 30% interest in Indigo. Upon exercise of the option, the Company will obtain control over Indigo.
Since late May 2020, the Company has been actively involved in development of Indigo’s operations with power to direct the activities and significantly impact Indigo’s economic performance. The Company also has obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits from Indigo. As such, in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J, Indigo is considered an VIE of the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, SWC Group Inc., and Indigo Dye Group Corp., a variable interest entity (“VIE”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going concern
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is endeavoring to increase revenue-generating operations. While priority is on generating cash from operations through the sale of the Company’s products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms to our Company, or which may not be available at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.
-98-
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC’’) No. 606, Revenue Recognition. Sugarmade applied a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.
The new standard became effective April 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.
The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases. All existing leases are reported under this rule.
Under ASC 840, leases were classified as either capital or operating, and the classification significantly impacted the effect the contract had on the company's financial statements. Capital lease classification resulted in a liability that was recorded on a company's balance sheet, whereas operating leases did not impact the balance sheet. Since the Company elected not to recast the prior year financial statements, $455,590 of operating lease right-of-use asset and $465,826 of operating lease liabilities were not retroactively reflected to June 30, 2019 financial statements after the new adoption, and $1,105,755 of operating lease right-of-use asset and $1,140,041 of operating lease liabilities were reflected to June 30, 2020 financial statements due to the Company entered into new lease contracts during the year ended June 30, 2020.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2020, there was 2,066,958 impairment loss of its long-lived assets.
Income taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their perspective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740’’), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax position, as defined, ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspect of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.
We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of October 2, 2008 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our ‘major’ tax jurisdictions and generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination after our 2013 U.S. federal income tax returns. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards, which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. We have not taken any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording of tax related liability as of June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Stock based compensation
Stock based compensation cost to employees is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). We estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk-free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock. We use our company’s own data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.
Loss per share
We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted BPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1- observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The Company used Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities for conversion feature of the convertible notes and warrants in determining the fair value using Lattice Binomial model with the following assumption inputs:
Derivative instruments
The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).
Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes- Merton option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Segment Reporting
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting’’, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
The Company’s financial statements as substantially all of its operations are conducted in three industry segments – (1) paper and paper-based products such as paper cups, cup lids, food containers, etc., which accounts approx. 42% of the Company’s revenues; (2) Non-medical supplies such as non-medical fascial mask, which accounts approx. 25% of the Company’s total revenues; (3) Cannabis products delivery service and sales, which accounts approx. 33% of the Company’s total revenues.
New accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company have adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The pronouncement simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. The pronouncement also improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Prior period reclassification
Certain prior period balance sheet accounts have been reclassified in conformity with current period presentation including reclassification of $4,000 from derivative liability to warrant liability. The reclassification had no effect to the company’s consolidated statement of operations, statement of cash flow or statement of shareholder’s equity.

6. Litigation
From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. As of June 30, 2019, there were no legal claims pending or threatened against the Company; the opinion of our management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as of the date of this filing, we were involved in the following legal proceedings.
| ● | Outstanding Litigation On December 11, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint from two convertible note holders and investors in the Company.

11. Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods paper and paper-based products such as paper cups and food containers ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market. We value our inventory using the weighted average costing method. Our Company’s policy is to include as a part of inventory any freight incurred to ship the product from our contract manufacturers to our warehouses. Outbound freights costs related to shipping costs to our customers are considered period costs and reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. The total inbound freight costs are $274,475 & $247,263 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
If the estimated realizable value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value. On a consolidated basis, as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the balance for the inventory totaled $679,471 and $356,285, respectively. $15,445 were reserved for obsolescent inventory for the year ended June 30, 2020, and $14,548 were reserved for obsolescent inventory for the year ended June 30, 2019.

For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, depreciation expenses amounted to $110,032 and $71,390, respectively.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
15. Advanced to Investment
During December 2017, the Company entered into a master marketing agreement with BizRight, LLC, a leading marketer and manufacturer of hydroponic growth supplies, which offers a range of hydroponics-related products including: HPS grow lights, electronic ballasts, HPS Bulbs, nutrient mixes, environmental control products, pH measurement and calibration solutions and other grow and storage products.
