PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate History
Our Company was incorporated in Delaware on October 14, 2010 as a property management company.
On October 10, 2012, the Companys board of directors adopted a resolution approving an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effectuate an increase of the authorized common shares from 25,000,000 par value $0.001 to 500,000,000 par value $0.001 and additionally authorized a 20 for 1 forward split increasing the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 9,245,600 common shares to 184,912,000 common shares. The forward split did not affect the number of authorized common shares or their par value. The Company obtained the written consent of stockholders representing 86.53% of the Companys outstanding common stock approving the amendment to Companys Articles of Incorporation to affect the above-mentioned corporate actions.
Effective as of January 31, 2013, the Company executed a reverse merger by entering into a stock purchase agreement whereby the Company acquired all of the assets, contracts and obligations of ESMG Inc. existing as of that date through a cashless exchange of stock. ESMG Inc., which was formed in the state of Nevada on October 9, 2012, is a formative multi-media entertainment enterprise with an active music production and distribution division, as well as having a business plan to launch a motion picture and TV production and distribution division. Accordingly, as of January 31, 2013, through the acquisition of ESMG Inc., we expanded our operations to include entertainment in addition to continuing to offer real estate management services.
On May 30, 2013, the Company completed and funded the acquisition of Top Sail Productions, Top Sail a music production company and record label with a multi-year US distribution agreement through WEA, a Warner Music Group Company. The Company purchased Top Sail from Chuck Gullo, the principal of Top Sail, who has continued as Senior Executive Consultant to assist in the operation of Top Sail and other entertainment entities owned by the Company. The Company purchased the membership interests in Top Sail for a total of $440,000. The initial payment was $75,000 and $15,000 worth of the Companys 5,000,000 restricted common shares. The remaining $350,000 is being paid in installments through June 30, 2016.
On June 1, 2013 the board of directors entered into an Amendment and Plan of Reorganization with D & B Music, Inc. (previously known as D & B Records, Inc.) a Delaware corporation, in which D & B Music, Inc. merged with and into the Company. D & B Music, Inc, has a music catalog of 41 titles. The consideration paid by the company was the assumption by the Company of a promissory note for $242,000 due Pegasus Group, Inc. together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon of $114, 841 and the issuance of 7,000,000 of the Companys Series A preferred stock and 20,000,000 of the Companys common stock to the sole shareholder of D & B Music, Inc., David Michery, who is also CEO and director of the Company
On June 10, 2013, the Companys board of directors adopted a resolution approving an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized common shares from 500,000,000 par value $0.001 to 2,000,000,000 par value $0.00001 and to designate 10,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.00001, to be issued from time to time in one or more series as determined by the board of directors, with the balance being designated as 1,990,000,000 common shares.
On August 6, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the State of Delaware to create and issue a series of 10,000,000 preferred shares to be designated the Series A Preferred Stock. These shares rank senior to the common stock with respect to distributions or payments in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company.
4
On August 19, 2013, the Companys board of directors adopted a resolution approving an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized common shares from 2,000,000,000 common shares, to 4,990,000,000 common shares.
Our Business
The Company (OTCQB: PMCM) currently operates in the medical marijuana, real estate management and multi-media industries.
Previous operations
The Company is considered to be a development stage company. From the date of incorporation on October 14, 2010, until a management change occurred on January 31, 2013, the Company had been devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing new customized real estate management programs for its clients. These efforts however produced only minimal revenues.
New real estate business model
During 2013, the Company began to evaluate the feasibility of acquiring residential real estate properties which had already purchased viable land for such construction and for which building permits and tract maps were already in existence. One such project related to the possible construction of up to 60 townhouses on undeveloped land located in Corona, California called Tuscany Villas. The Company obtained a certified appraisal of the property and placed a deposit into escrow towards its purchase. However, the Company was subsequently unable to close escrow because it was ultimately unable to secure the financing of a substantial portion of the purchase price, which was a condition precedent to the closing. The Company continues to seek out and evaluate however other real estate investment opportunities in areas such as the medical marijuana industry.
Entertainment business model
Following the reverse merger/acquisition on January 31, 2013 of the entertainment related business, ESMG Inc., followed shortly thereafter by the acquisition of Top Sail Productions, LLC and the merger of D & B Music, Inc., the Company expanded its operations to include the production and distribution of recorded music, coupled with the prospect of potentially engaging in the production and distribution of lower budgeted motion pictures and television programs.
Music operations
The Company has financed the various music related assets that have been acquired by its wholly-owned subsidiary ESMG Inc. through the issuance of convertible debt.
The Companys business model is to:
(a) acquire, through its joint venture relationship with Phoenix 51, distribution rights to new and original recorded music created by a stable of music artists having a history of multi-platinum sales, and to support those artist releases through the further investment by the Company in radio and marketing support provided by Phoenix 51;
(b) to selectively develop and invest in emerging music artists which the Company believes will be successful and to also support the release if such recorded music with targeted radio promotion and social media marketing; and
(c) to market and distribute existing catalog titles of recorded music, such as physical CDs from Top Sail Productions series of Casey Kasems compilations of Americas Top The Hits of the 1950s through the 1990s, and from the digital re-release of D & B Music catalog of mainly hip hop artists from the 1980s and 1990s.
5
The Companys ESMG subsidiary released its first single to digital markets in the United States (including iTunes) by Tion Phipps entitled Break Necks on September 3, 2013; followed by Kamp Hustles single Round She Go on September 17,2013; V.I.C.s single Turn Up on September 24, 2013; and Bungle Knot Dreds single Oh Yes, My Baby on November 12, 2013. To date however, despite a significant investment by ESMG in marketing and promotion, digital sales have been extremely disappointing and revenues have been minimal. Management has established a reserve for loss at December 31, 2013 on its investment accordingly.
Other music artists contracted through Phoenix 51 include Jesse Scott and Hurricane Chris. The first single from Jesse Scott F*ck My Life was released digitally in the United States on February 18, 2014, again to only minimal sales.
Artists contracted by ESMG and under development include Choo Biggz, whose first single Bong was digitally released on February 9, 2014, Downtown Attraction, presently recording its first singles and emerging hip hop artist, Bruce-E-Bee.
The Company is presently reassessing its strategy with respect to the selection of, and investment in, music artists. All losses accumulated since October 14, 2010 are considered as part of the Company's development stage activities. The Company has not yet generated any significant revenues from its music related operations. To the contrary, the Companys investment in the marketing and promotion of individual singles associated with its music artists has resulted in significant costs, which are not expected to be recouped.
Commencing June 1, 2013, through its acquisition of Top Sail Productions, the Company began to distribute through WEA (a member of the Warner Music Group) physical CDs in the United States of the Casey Kasem branded Americas Top The Hits of the 1950s through the 1990s. CD sales are made primarily through Publishers Clearing House since the sale of CDs through traditional retail stores has diminished significantly. While the Company intends to continue this sales strategy, because catalog sales have been modest. The Company is also exploring direct-to-consumer sales opportunities through the use of infomercials and direct marketing.
The Company began to exploit the D & B Music Catalog with the first digital release on November 5, 2013 of a compilation album of hip hop music entitled Str8 Hip Hop Jams, followed by other compilation albums from this music catalog. Because sales results to date have been below expectation, the Company is currently evaluating its sales strategy for catalog sales to determine if alternative marketing methods (e.g. targeted social media marketing campaigns) can produce higher revenues. All losses accumulated since October 14, 2010 through December 31, 2013 are considered as part of the Company's development stage activities. As such, the Company has not yet generated significant revenues from its operations and has no assurance of future revenues.
Motion picture operations
During 2013, ESMG began to selectively invest, through co-production opportunities, in the production of lower budget motion pictures for platform release to a limited number theaters, followed by a wide rollout to digital video-on-demand outlets (including Netflix) and to international distributors. The first of such projects being developed is the sequel to the successful animated family entertainment movie The Legend of Sasquatch starring William Hurt and John Rhys-Davies, called Big Foots Big Halloween Adventures. Subject to ESMG obtaining the financing necessary to fulfill its co-production obligation to the physical producer Gorilla Pictures, full production of the animated sequel is expected to begin in the second half of 2014. The second motion picture project is entitled Halloween Hell starring Eric Roberts, which is a co-production with veteran producers Herb Linsey and Edward Hunt, and which completed principal photography in January 2014. Although revenue expectations are very encouraging, it will not be known how successful these motion picture projects will be until release.

New real estate business model supporting the medical marijuana industry
On February 12, 2014, the Company decided to re-direct in its real estate business, with a new emphasis on providing locations and services to marijuana based companies. It announced that it plans to acquire certain properties, which it will lease to licensed retailers and manufacturers of medical marijuana, beginning initially in the greater Los Angeles area, with subsequent plans to extend its operations to Western States where medical marijuana is permitted by state law. The leased facilities will meet all zoning and licensing requirements for the ongoing, legal dispensing of medical cannabis. The Company does not intend to engage in the actual cultivation or sale of medical cannabis or any of its byproducts.
Implementation of the new business model
On February 14, 2014, the Company signed a conditional lease for the launch of its first medical cannabis cultivation center. Plans call to subdivide the property into up to 6 separate nurseries to be sublet to fully licensed dispensaries in Los Angeles. Final execution of the lease is contingent upon acquiring permits from the local municipality.
On February 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Joint Venture agreement with CanMed Ventures, a British Columbia company, to own, build and operate a 30,000 square foot cultivation facility for the production of medical marijuana. The Joint Venture will produce and dispense legal medical cannabis to Health Canada patients in British Columbia. CanMED expects to complete the licensing process in the next few months, Construction is expected to begin once the Company secures a suitable location. Under this agreement, the Company granted CanMED a 10-year management contract for the operation of the Joint Venture.
On March 19, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Seattle based Suzie Q's, a medical marijuana collective fully licensed by the City of Seattle. Suzie Q's has been in operation for more than 4 years and serves over 1,500 patients. The agreement calls for the purchase of 100% of the assets of the Co-Op, as well as the purchase and transfer of a Tier I Production License granted by the Washington State Liquor Board. April 4, 2014 construction began on Suzie Q's first medical-marijuana collective. Once completed, the new upgraded and fully compliant facility will pave the way for the issuance of the Producer/Processor License.
Competition
There are a significant number of writer/composers, producers and distributors of recorded music, both original music distributed digitally and catalog product distributed via physical CDs who are, or maybe, in competition with us in marketing, promoting and reaching the same music consumer marketplace (e.g. posting music digitally on iTunes or Amazon). However, for individual singles produced and distributed by artists under contract with us, we have obtained copyright registration (see below).
The U.S. commercial real estate services industry is large and highly fragmented, with thousands of companies providing asset management, investment management and brokerage sales and leasing transaction services. In recent years, the industry has experienced substantial consolidation, a trend that is expected to continue.
Intellectual Property
We do not own any trademarks. However, we have registered our music rights with the US Copyright Office in Washington, DC.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 were zero, compared with $110,000 incurred in the year ended December 31, 2012 generally related to the real estate industry.

Government Regulation
Our business may be subjected to governmental regulation and required to comply in the following areas:
Acquisition of property and entry into joint ventures associated with the cultivation of medical marijuana
Under federal law, it is not legal to grow marijuana because it is listed as a controlled substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act. However, in certain states, the growth and cultivation of marijuana for medical purposes is legal under their own state law (e.g. California, Colorado, Washington state) although other states have been resistant to allow the cultivation of marijuana due to resistance from the U.S. Department of Drug Enforcement Agency and prohibition under federal law. Upon the production and sale of medical marijuana products to consumers, our facilities and our joint venture arrangements will be required to comply with various state and local regulation and licensing.
Distribution Arrangements.
We intend to release our films in the United States through existing distribution companies. We will retain the right for ourselves, or through our co-producing partner, to market the films on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis throughout the rest of the world and to market television and other uses separately. To the extent that we may engage in foreign distribution of our films, we will be subject to all of the governmental regulations of doing business abroad including, but not limited to, government censorship, exchange controls, and copying, and licensing or qualification. At this point it is not possible to predict, with certainty, the nature of the distribution arrangements and extent of exact governmental regulations that may impact our business.
Intellectual Property Rights.
Rights to original music compositions and to motion pictures are granted legal protection under the copyright laws of the United States and most foreign countries, including Canada. These laws provide substantial civil and criminal penalties for unauthorized duplication and exploitation (piracy) of music and motion pictures. Motion pictures, musical works, sound recordings, artwork, and still photography are separately subject to copyright under most copyright laws. The results of such investigations may warrant legal action by us as the owner/co-owner of the rights.
Employees
We currently have three employees, David Michery (President, Secretary and CEO), Steven John Corso (CFO) and Ramiro Guzman (SVP, Real Estate Division). Our employees devote such efforts and spend as much time as is necessary for the Company to conduct its operations. We will hire additional necessary personnel solely as needed, and on a per contract basis as independent consultants.

In addition, commencing August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a lease for offices at 6725 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 420, Los Angeles, CA 90028 to house the Companys music and motion picture production and distribution operations. The offices consist of 2,592 square feet for a lease term of 66 months. As an inducement for the Company to lease the space, a 50% rent abatement of $ 45,100.80 was allowed by the landlord for the first 12 months of occupation, so that the annualized rent for the first 12 months is $ 45,100.80, plus common areas charges. Thereafter, the rent becomes $92,897.28 in year two; $ 95,696.64 in year three; $ 98,573.76 in year four; $101,528.64 in year 5 and $ 52,280.64 for the final 6 months in year 6, plus an applicable increment for common area costs in all years.

REFERENCES IN THIS FORM 10-K, UNLESS ANOTHER DATE IS STATED, ARE TO DECEMBER 31, 2012.
Since our incorporation on October 14, 2010 in the state of Delaware we have been a development stage company. We began by offering a general array of real estate management services, which continued until January 31, 2013. We then redirected our real estate focus to seeking out properties which had obtained the necessary building permits but which needed finance to start construction. In addition, as of January 31, 2013 with our acquisition of ESMG Inc. we added an entertainment related business segment. Our performance can be significantly affected by changes in general economic conditions and, specifically, shifts in consumer confidence and spending. Additionally, our performance can be affected by competition. Management believes that, as both industries continue to consolidate, competition with respect to pricing will intensify. Such a heightened competitive pricing environment will make it increasingly important for us to successfully distinguish ourselves from competitors based on quality and superior service and content and on our operating efficiency. We are currently not aware of any other known material trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will have, or are reasonable likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition, operating performance, revenues and/or income, or results in our liquidity decreasing or increasing in any material way.
Results of Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we generated gross revenues of $72,116 compared with revenues of $2,600 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $1,258,578, including a reserve of $453,457 for losses on artists contracts. The balance of $805,121 included management compensation of $374,212; consultants fees of $ 239,500, legal and audit fees of $43,860 and all other operating costs of $147,549. The net operating loss was $1,230,585 for the year. By comparison, our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $140,400, resulting in a net operating loss of $137,540.
11
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred non operating expenses totaling $2,817,901, including interest expense of $ 888,286, loss (net) on change in fair value of derivatives of $1,891,115 and a provision for loss on property development of $38,500. This resulted in a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $4,048,486, compared with a net loss of $137,540 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
For the period from inception (October 14, 2010) through December 31, 2013, we generated cumulative gross revenues of $78,301 or $34,178 after cost of sales. Our operating expenses for the same period cumulatively totaled $1,463,047, resulting in a cumulative loss from operations of $1,428,869. After deducting a total of $2,817,901 for cumulative non-operating expenses (including interest expense of $888,286, loss on change in fair value of derivatives and $38,500 reserve for loss on property development) the overall cumulative net loss from inception through December 31, 2013 totaled $4,246,770.
Our operating expenses consisted mainly of developing and rolling out our business plans and the cost of our convertible debt financing arrangements, as well as the cost of management , consultants and office operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash resources totaled $64,771 at December 31, 2013 (an increase from $91 at December 31, 2012). However, our total current assets at December 31, 2013 amounted to $1,300,270 against total current liabilities of $2,239,354. Accordingly, we need a new infusion of capital to sustain our operations from third-party sources.
We have had no off balance sheet arrangements since inception through December 31, 2013.
The Company has not generated sufficient revenue from its operations and needs to raise capital to meet the operating requirements over the next twelve months. The Companys financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The report from the Companys independent registered public accounting firm states that there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Plan of Operation for the Next 12 months
To help improve our current limited financial position, we plan to carefully seek out and secure third-party equity financing, both short-term and long-term, to both replace our current convertible debt financing and to provide a new and more stable source of capital. Our convertible debt financing to date has been expensive and highly dilutive and detrimental to our stock and needs to be replaced with less costly equity investment.
We intend to more carefully review investment in any future music artist so that we can more effectively manage our risk and downside. We view investment in a well packaged, well cast lower budget motion picture to be preferable than and investment in a higher risk one-off/unproven music artist.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors and shareholders of
Primco Management, Inc.
Century City, California
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Primco Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has no revenues, has incurred losses since inception, and has a negative working capital balance at December 31, 2013, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February, 2014 the Company expanded its operations to include the leasing and property management of facilities for the legal cultivation of medical cannabis, and the acquisition and/or entering into joint ventures with third parties involving the planning, staffing, management and operation of legalized medical marijuana dispensing and cultivation.
Development stage enterprise
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915 "Development Stage Entities". Since October 14, 2010 the Company had been devoting substantially all of its efforts in real estate management and property development programs as well as the production and creation of recorded music by such artists as V.I.C., Tion Phipps, Jesse Scott, Kamp Hustle , Bungle Knot Dred as well as the exploitation of the Top Sail Productions Casey Kasem music library and the D & B music library.
As such, through December 31, 2013, the Company had not generated significant revenues from its operations. Due to startup costs, legal and accounting, consulting, research and development and operating expenses the Company has incurred accumulated net losses of $4,246,770 from inception through December 31, 2013. All losses accumulated since October 14, 2010 have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition
Operating revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013 consists of the physical and digital sale of recorded music. Operating revenue during the year ended December 31, 2012 consists of property management fees. Such income was recognized during the period in which the Company generated sales and/or provided services.
20
Research and development
The Company records research and development expense as incurred.
Net loss per common share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per common share (EPS) calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
Income taxes
Income tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ASC 740, Income Tax, requires the recognition of the impact of a tax position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on a tax return upon examination by the relevant taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in interest expense and operating expenses, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Concentration of cash
The Company maintains cash balances at a bank where amounts on deposit may exceed $250,000 throughout the year. Accounts at the institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company does not believe recently issued accounting pronouncements will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
The Company is a development stage company and the management of the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to locating real estate properties for development and constriction and to the production and/or distribution of recorded music from the music artists it has developed and from the music catalogs that it has acquired. The Company expects operating costs to continue to exceed funds generated from operations until significant revenues are generated from its operations and from new financing sources.
The Company had only generated minimal revenues from its operations through December 31, 2013 mainly due to the unsuccessful and disappointing sale of recorded music from the music artists it has under contract. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses in the near term, and
21
the operations in the near future are expected to continue to require working capital. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in turn dependent on its ability to raise capital to meet its operating requirements.
The Companys independent auditors, in their report on the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, expressed substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND INVENTORY
Accounts receivable represents the net amount due from WEA/Warner Music Group from the sale of Top Sale Productions music CDs, and ESMGs digital music releases through December 31, 2013.
Inventory represents the finished cost of Top Sail Productions music CDs (including prepaid royalties to music artists) available for resale to consumers, less a reserve for defective CDs of $3,729.
NOTE 4 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

(a)
ESMGs investment of $ 275,000 to co-produce with Gorilla Pictures and he right to distribute worldwide the animated motion picture rights to Bigfoots Big Halloween Adventures (the sequel to The Legend of Sasquatch). The ESMGs financing commitment is evidenced by a promissory note dated November 6, 2012 with Gorilla Pictures, which bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum from June 1, 2013; and
(b)
A co-production investment of $40,000 in the lower budget motion picture entitled Halloween Hell
NOTE 5 PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid expenses represent fees and costs totaling $ 135,000 incurred with Southridge Partners II, LLC Southridge) in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company on September 30, 2013 whereby Southridge has undertaken to purchase up to $ 10 million of the Companys issued common stock periodically over a 24 month period at a rate equal to 90% of the Companys trading price during the applicable period prior to drawdown. The Companys obligation to Southridge for their fee and legal costs is evidenced partly through a promissory note for $ 100,000 due June, 2014 and partly through a convertible note for $ 35,000 maturing August 20, 2014. Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company is required to register an S-1 for the authority to issue registered common shares, which it plans to do so by the end of second quarter 2014..
Management plans to use the net proceeds from this facility to make early retirement of convertible debt as well as to finance ongoing operations and new investments. Because the transaction is not triggered until the successful registration of the S-1, the total cost of $ 135,000 has been treated as a prepaid expense and will be expensed concurrent with the S-1 filing.
23
NOTE 6 - LEASE DEPOSIT
The lease deposit of $ 8,714 represents a security deposit paid to the landlord against the lease of office space at 6725 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 420, Hollywood, CA 90028, which houses ESMG;s music and motion picture operations. The office lease commenced on August 31, 2013. The offices consist of 2,592 square feet for a lease term of 66 months. As an inducement for the Company to lease the space, a 50% rent abatement of $45,100.80 was allowed by the landlord for the first 12 months of occupation, so that the annualized rent for the first 12 months is $ 45,100.80, plus common areas charges. Thereafter, the rent becomes $92,897.28 in year two; $95,696.64 in year three; $98,573.76 in year four; $101,528.64 in year 5 and $52,280.64 for the final 6 months in year 6, plus an applicable increment for common area costs in all years. As a further concession, the landlord granted a tenant improvement allowance of up to $25,920 to cover the cost of initial (move-in) construction build and certain equipment required by the Company.
In addition, the Company remitted $ 35,000 on September 6, 2013 to open an escrow deposit to acquire a parcel of approximately 3.55 acres of land located in the city of Corona, California with already approved plans, permits and tract mapping etc. to construct 60 residential townhouses to be called Tuscany Villas. In addition, the Company obtained a certified appraisal on the property at a cost of $3,500. The total purchase price was subsequently reduced on December 5, 2013 to $4,100,000. The current property owner agreed to take back a first trust deed note in the property of $2,645,000, leaving the Company to fund the balance of $1,420,000 on or before the required escrow closing and funding date of January 14, 2014.
NOTE 7 - MUSIC CATALOG
The music catalog arises from the merger of D & B Music, Inc. into the Company on June 1, 2013. D & B Music, Inc. (formerly D & B Records, Inc.) has the worldwide rights to reproduce and distribute 41 fully produced titles.
The sole shareholder of D & B Music, Inc. at the time of merger was David Michery, the Companys CEO and President. The cost of $357,111 represents:
(a)
the assumption by the Company of a promissory note, originally dated February 1, 2009, payable in the amount of $242,000 to Pegasus Group, Inc., together with the assumption of accrued and unpaid interest thereon through June 30, 2013 of $114,841, for total consideration of $ 356,841 to acquire D & B Music, Inc.; plus
(b)
$ 270 par value of 7,000,000 preferred shares and 20,000,000 common shares issued to David Michery for the right to access and duplicate the recording masters associated with both the D & B Music catalog and David Micherys own music catalog, for exploitation by ESMG and distribution through WEA/Warner Music Group.
ESMG has begun to compile and rerelease albums of artists comprised in both music catalogs. Interest continues to accrue at the rate of 10% on the balance of principal due Pegasus Group, Inc.,
NOTE 8 FIXED ASSETS: FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
This represents the cost ($9,412) less accumulated depreciation through December 31, 2013 ($1,527) of furniture and equipment purchased for the operating offices of ESMG and Top Sail Productions, which offices became fully operational as of August 1, 2013 (see Note 6).
24

Accrued liabilities at December 31, 2013 represent the following:
Accrued interest: D & B Music, Inc. (See Note 6) | $134,805 |
Other accrued interest on short-term debt | 40,658 |
Accrued management compensation due CEO and CFO | 125,712 |
Total accrued liabilities | $301,175 |

NOTE 10 DUE TO AFFILIATED COMPANY
The amount due to affiliated company of $13,928 at December 31, 2013 represents the balance due to Michery Inc. for costs originally incurred by Michery, Inc. totaling $25,750 to acquire and initial test market music recorded by the music artist Bruce-E-Bee. Michery Inc. assigned all right and interest to this artist to ESMG Inc. on October 22, 2013, with the understanding that ESMG Inc., reimburse Michery, Inc. those costs. Michery Inc. is owned by our CEO, David Michery.
NOTE 11 INCOME TAXES
Through December 31, 2013, the Company incurred net operating losses for tax purposes of approximately $4.2 million.. The net operating loss carry forward for federal purposes may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2033. The availability of the Companys net operating loss carry forward may be subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more change in the ownership of the Companys stock.
A reconciliation of the potential federal tax benefit computed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the provision for income taxes is as follows:
| Year ended December 31, 2013 | Year Ended December 31, 2012 | Year Ended December 31, 2011 | Inception to Year Ended December 31, 2010 |
Net loss for period | $(4,048,486) | $(137,540) | $(48,744) | $(12,000) |
Potential tax benefit at statutory rates | $(1,376,485) | $(46,764) | $(16,473) | $(4,080) |
Change in valuation allowance | 1,376,485 | 46,764 | 16,473 | 4,080 |
Provision for income taxes | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
The cumulative deferred tax asset at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1,443,802 and $ 67,417 respectively.
A 100% valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax asset as the utilization of the loss carry forward cannot be reasonably assured. Significant components of the deferred tax assets (liability), computed at the statutory federal tax rate of 34% are as follows:
| 2013 | 2012 |
Deferred tax asset | $1,443,802 | $67,417 |
Valuation allowance | (1,443,802) | (67,417) |
Net deferred tax asset | $0 | $0 |
25
Although the Company is not under examination, the tax years for 2010 and forward are subject to examination by United States tax authorities. The Companys practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31,2013 and 2012, however there was no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Nature of Derivative Liability
From time-to-time, the Company enters into convertible note agreements whereby the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated out as a derivative liability. Upon conversion of all or a portion of the convertible note, the derivative liability associated with the principal and interest converted is valued immediately before conversion using the Black-Scholes model. The change in fair value of the derivative liability associated with the principal and interest converted was recorded as a gain/loss on fair value of derivative liability in the accompanying statement of operations, with the remaining value of that portion of the derivative liability written off with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
The derivative liability at December 31, 2013 related to the following convertible notes, which had reached their 6 month convertible dates, but which had not yet been converted to the Companys stock
| Derivative liability |
Magna Group, Inc. | $45,166 |
Redwood Fund II, LLC | 145,773 |
Southridge Partners II, LLC | 25,998 |
WHC Capital, LLC | 70,134 |
| $287,071 |
The following is the range of variables used in revaluing the derivative liabilities at December 31, 2013 and during the year then ended for derivatives that were revalued upon conversion of principle balances: .
Annual dividend yield | 0 |
Expected life (years) of | 0.08 - 1.43 |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.02 - 0.17% |
Expected volatility | 170.8 - 400.9% |

NOTE 12 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 12, 2014 the Company announced a significant change to its business model and the future direction of its real estate operations. Such changes subsequently included the following:
- The plan to acquire properties, which it will lease to licensed retailers and manufacturers of medical marijuana, initially in the greater Los Angeles area with subsequent plans to extend its operations to Western States where medical marijuana is permitted by state law. The leased facilities will meet all zoning and licensing requirements for the ongoing, legal dispensing of medical cannabis. Primco will not engage in the cultivation or sale of medical cannabis or any of its byproducts.
- The signing of a conditional lease for the launch of its first medical cannabis cultivation center. Plans call to subdivide the property into up to 6 separate nurseries to be sublet to fully licensed dispensaries in Los Angeles.
- A Joint Venture agreement with CanMed Ventures, a British Columbia company, to build and operate a 30,000 square foot cultivation facility for the production of medical marijuana, whereby the Company will own 100% of the building, land and equipment and has granted CanMED a 10-year management contract for the operation of the Joint Venture.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
On February 7, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted an Audit Committee Charter, Code of Ethics, Insider Trading Policy and a Memorandum of Financial and Internal Control Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee, which was established effective that date, consisted of David Michery and Alan J. Bailey (Chair through date of resignation on February 14, 2014 ).
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2013. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded such controls and procedures to be not effective as of December 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting- Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 and concluded that it was not effective because of the material weakness described below:
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, due to resource constraints, material weaknesses became evident to management regarding our inability to generate all the necessary disclosure for inclusion in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission due to the lack of resources and segregation of duties. A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes our internal controls from reducing to an appropriately low level the risk that material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
29
We will aggressively recruit experienced professionals to ensure that we include all necessary disclosures in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that this corrective step will enable management to conclude that the internal controls over our financial reporting are effective when the staff is trained, we cannot ensure that these steps will be sufficient. We may be required to expend additional resources to identify, assess and correct any additional weaknesses in internal control.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the registrants registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or those persons performing similar functions, did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Audit Fees. In 2013 we incurred audit fees totaling $ 6,041 being $ 2,500 from Patrick Rodgers FCA relating to the 10Qs in 2013 and $3,541 from Gumbiner Savett Inc. relating to the 2012 fiscal year audit paid in 2013. By comparison , we incurred audit fees of $ 14,000 with Gumbiner Savett Inc for the 2012 fiscal year. Such fees included work completed for our annual audit and for the review of our financial statements included in our Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
All Other Fees. We did not incur any non-audit related fees from Patrick Rodgers or Gumbiner Savett Inc . during the fiscal years ended 2012 and 2011. The Board of Directors, acting as the Audit Committee considered whether, and determined that, the auditor's provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.
All of the services described above for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 were approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to its policies and procedures. On March 6, 2014 we appointed Terry L. Johnson as the Companys auditor to replace Patrick Rogers. We intend to continue using Terry L Johnson solely for audit and audit-related services, tax consultation, and, as needed, for due diligence in acquisitions.
