Part I

Company Background

Cannabis Sativa, Inc., formerly named Ultra Sun Corporation, was incorporated under laws of Nevada in November 2005.  In 2019, we conducted our operations through our subsidiaries PrestoCorp, Inc. (“PrestoCorp”), a 51% owned Delaware corporation engaged in the telemedicine business, and GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc., a 51% owned California corporation that serves as a contract manufacturer of products containing hemp-based CBD. We also own 51% of i-Budtender and 100% of the following subsidiaries: Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. (“Wild Earth”), a Nevada corporation, Eden Holdings LLC (“Eden”), a Virginia limited liability company, Kubby Patent and Licenses, Limited Liability Company (“KPAL”), a Texas limited liability company and Hi Brands International Inc. (“Hi Brands”), a Nevada corporation. I-Budtender, Wild Earth, Eden, KPAL, and Hi Brands are currently inactive. Our business strategy is discussed below.

Our common stock is quoted for trading on the OTCQB Market under the symbol CBDS.

We currently maintain virtual principal executive offices with our staff and contractors located remotely and typically working out of their homes. Our mailing address is 450 Hillside Drive, #A224, Mesquite, Nevada 89027. Our telephone number is (702) 763-3123.

Business Strategy

In 2021, we intend to focus on continuing to grow our business in three divisions, telemedicine, contract manufacturing, and brand development and marketing of products and services to the cannabidiol (“CBD”) and marijuana industries.

Telemedicine

Management is currently evaluating opportunities to expand the platform for medical marijuana evaluations into other states and is reviewing other telemedicine applications.  The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for expansion

4

of telemedicine services across the United States, and our existing systems and infrastructure are well suited to provide other similar medical evaluations.  The continuing growth of wearable devices and remote monitoring capabilities are further evidence that telemedicine will continue to grow in the coming periods. Growth of the platform to take advantage of these opportunities will require capital for development of new features and capabilities necessary to provide a new service, expansion of personnel and expansion of our contracted physician pool. No assurances can be given that our efforts to expand into new areas and/or provide new services will be successful.    

Contract Manufacturing

Early in 2020, we completed the acquisition of certain manufacturing equipment and inventory to commence operations as a contract manufacturer of products containing hemp-based CBD.  Our 51% owned subsidiary, GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”) leases a 16,000 square foot facility in Anaheim, California. GKMP recently completed its certification process as an ISO9000 manufacturer, which the Company expects will allow GKMP to attract new and higher volume customers for its contract manufacturing capabilities. GKMP is currently working with several larger customers to complete test runs that may lead to new contracts later this year.

Contract manufacturing is a competitive sector, particularly in the CBD and marijuana space. GKMP intends to differentiate its business model by providing significant product formulation capabilities and expertise, and by providing best in class customer service.  The on-site management team has experience in developing successful proprietary products and in working with customers to produce and package customer specified products that conform exactly to the customers’ expectations. We expected stronger operating results in 2020, but our start-up of the facility coincided with the economic impact from COVID-19, and the resulting uncertainty delayed a number of orders that we anticipated would generate revenue in 2020.  The delay from COVID-19 has pushed out our time table for the start-up phase and we will continue to evaluate the business as the economy begins to pick up.

Brand Development and Product Marketing

We have assembled a portfolio of brands, products, intangible assets, and expertise to allow research, development, acquisition and licensing of specialized cannabis and CBD related products, including cannabis and CBD formulas, edibles, topicals, strains, recipes and delivery systems.  We also are engaged in marketing and branding within the cannabis and CBD spaces, including our trademark pending "hi" brand and others. We hold a license for a proprietary cannabis lozenge delivery methodology, and a proprietary cannabis trauma cream formula.  We received a U.S. patent for a strain of cannabis plant named Ecuadorian Sativa (also referred to as CTS-A or CTA).  We also have U.S. patents pending on cannabis-based composition and methods of treating hypertension. In 2019, we were not able to focus on further development of these assets due to limitations on availability of capital and the need to devote our energies to growth in the telemedicine space and efforts to acquire contract manufacturing capabilities.

In 2021, we plan to begin to license our intellectual property, including patents, branding and know-how to companies licensed under, and in full compliance with, state regulations applicable to cannabis businesses. Descriptions of our brand portfolio follow:

Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. is an herbal skin care products formulation and marketing company that targets the growing natural health care products market in the United States and abroad.  We intend to develop and manufacture high-quality, herbal based skin care products providing healthier choices to consumers.  We use specialized ingredient mixing processes to produce plant glycerite/mineral herbal blends and oil extractions, which we believe will be unique to the natural health products industry.  The ingredients for our products are selected to meet a number of criteria, including, but not limited to, safety, potency, purity, stability, bio-availability, and efficacy.  We plan to control the quality of our products beginning at the formulation stage and continuing through controlled sourcing of raw ingredients, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling.

Hi Brands International Inc. On February 6, 2015, the Company formed Hi Brands International Inc., a Nevada Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Hi Brands").  Hi Brands entered into a Purchase, Supply and Joint Venture Agreement (the "Agreement"), with Centuria Natural Foods, Inc. ("Centuria") to develop a supply of proprietary CBD (Cannabidiol) Rich Hemp Oil products, but the agreement was never implemented and no business was ever transacted. As a result, Hi Brands International, Inc. has been inactive for the last several years.  Although the Hi Brands business has been inactive, the Company believes that there is value in the name and that it may afford

5

a sound outlet for the Company’s products as we build out our product portfolio and as we bring our contract manufacturing capabilities on-line in 2021.

In order to capitalize on the Hi Brands concept, the Company will require capital for a virtual storefront design, online web presence, virtual shopping cart and e-payment capabilities.  The concept may also be an attractive base for physical locations, which would then require capital for facilities, physical storefront and interior design, staffing, inventory, and marketing.  Until a suitable capital formation plan can be developed and funded, the Hi Brands concept is likely to remain inactive.

Patents and Intangible Assets. The Company holds a U.S. plant patent (PP 27,475) for a strain of cannabis plant named "Ecuadorian Sativa" (also known as CTS-A and CTA). The patent is assigned to our wholly owned subsidiary, Kubby Patent and Licenses Limited Liability Company.  The CTA strain has unique energizing and motivating properties rather than creating the lethargy, sleepiness and increased food consumption common from use of other cannabis plant products. The Company believes products derived from Ecuadorian Sativa may be particularly suited to members of the baby boom generation that want to experience the benefits of marijuana use without the incapacitating high common with more psychoactive strains.  The aging population has shown a willingness to use marijuana to address aches and pains caused by normal aging but may be unwilling to have their faculties significantly impaired in the process. The Company is currently evaluating Ecuadorian Sativa for further development and expects the evaluation to continue in 2020. The patented strain is also licensed on a non-exclusive basis to Kush, Inc., formerly a subsidiary of the Company that was spun out as a separate entity in 2017. The Company and Kush are working together on plans for further development of products utilizing the patented strain, but it is possible that Kush could become a competitor of ours at some point in the future.

The Company is also pursuing additional patents and proprietary formulations on cannabis-based compositions and methods of treating hypertension and lozenge delivery systems. These proprietary products will be added to the overall product portfolio and branding platform at an appropriate future date.

iBudtender. We have also been developing proprietary software, and an application (the “iBudtender App”) focused on sharing information between cannabis products, patients and businesses. iBudtender's software has been designed to help cannabis patients find cannabis products that are right for them via patient reviews, to provide nutritional information, directions, warnings and information on local availability, and to order products locally for pickup or delivery. The iBudtender business platform for dispensary owners, delivery services owners and manufacturers is designed to increase business as well as promote data sharing in an effort to help patients find the best and most effective products. The development of the iBudtender App was stopped in 2020 by limited availability of growth capital and limited resources. While we believe there is still a need for the iBudtender App, as the marijuana market has matured, competition has intensified, and the window of opportunity has narrowed. Further evaluation will take place in the second quarter of 2021 and a decision will be made then on further development of the iBudtender App.

Other Opportunities. In addition to licensing, branding and technology, we have the ability to offer, free of charge to patients, mainstream medical prescription discount cards, for which the Company will receive a small percentage on each prescription refill with the hi Benefits Discount Pharmacy Card. This concept has not been implemented and is likely to be a lower priority than the other opportunities mentioned above.

The Company continues to seek the acquisition of companies, intellectual property and other assets that fit within the company's strategic plan of assembling a portfolio of cannabis industry related businesses that have a high growth potential and are accretive to shareholder value.

Perceived Cannabis Industry Trends

We believe the cannabis industry will be characterized by the following principal trends: an increased emphasis on high quality products; an increased emphasis on scientific validation for products in the market place; more liberal regulation in regard to cannabis, even under the current administration as states' rights continue to emerge; more consolidation, take-over, and buy-out of companies in the retail, wholesale, and supply side channels; more mainstream companies entering the marketplace; and more funded research on the potential long-term health benefits of cannabis as well as its potential curative properties.

Vision

Our vision is to become a highly visible, diversified, international business promoting superior quality branded products and services and offering effective customer service, fair compensation, sound management and a great working environment. Over time, we plan to expand our branding, research and development, intellectual properties and licensing activities to reach markets worldwide covering telemedicine, education (through the iBudtender App or some other framework).  In order to achieve this vision, our goal is to develop and/or acquire manufacturing capabilities, intellectual property, and brands which will allow our licensees to provide innovative and effective medicinal cannabis products and cost-effective alternatives for customers seeking quality, affordable natural health products to aid in wellness and appearance.  In conducting our day-to-day operations, we will strive to:

·Treat all colleagues and co-workers with respect & fairness. 

·Follow a philosophy that says, "Delivering quality and customer satisfaction is our business." 

·Develop and enhance the skills of our associates with the intention of providing financially rewarding business opportunities. 

Through a long-term commitment to this vision statement, we hope to become known as a company that is committed to its customers, associates, and communities.

Products

Online Telemedicine.  Through PrestoDoctor we provide access to knowledgeable physicians for a safe and confidential way to get a medical marijuana recommendation using secure video conferencing technology.  Our online telemedicine generates over 95% of our revenues.  

Contract Manufacturing Services. Through GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc., we are beginning to provide contract manufacturing capabilities to a wide range of customers for a wide range of products for the hemp based-CBD market sector. We did not generate significant revenues from contract manufacturing in 2020 but are evaluating steps to increase revenues and cash flows in this operating division so that this division is cash flow positive in 2021.

Consumer Products. Through December 31, 2020, the products discussed in this section are conceptual and have produced no significant revenues. We had intended to pursue the strategy described below in 2020, but the COVID-19 impacts largely shifted our strategic implementation plans to 2021. In the remainder of 2021, we expect to begin production on some of these products using our contract manufacturing arm for manufacturing when feasible. Our goal for 2021 is to solidify the branding and product marketing programs for the following products:

·Proprietary Cannabis Strain. The Company owns a patented cannabis sativa plant strain known as Ecuadorian Sativa or "CTA".  The Company intends to further research the CTA strain and to ultimately monetize this intellectual property through licensing agreements in conjunction with state medical marijuana laws as well as establish business relationships with scientific research organizations to develop agricultural biologic applications based upon specific plant strain research and development methodologies. 

·Lozenges and Edibles. The Company owns intellectual property (recipes and process/methods) for use in medical marijuana edibles and lozenges.  The Company's proprietary lozenge offers rapid relief, unlike other edibles of which may take up to an hour or more to take effect. Based upon preliminary results, our lozenges generally take effect within a period of five to 15 minutes.  We believe the rapid acting characteristics of our lozenges will overcome a major issue with cannabis consumption, which has been the need to inhale cannabis in order to receive a rapid response.  In addition to the lozenges, we have other forms of edibles under development. 

·Recover. Recover Deep Penetrating Healing Balm is a fast-acting anti-inflammatory pain reliever for sore muscles, joints, arthritic and back pain. Organic with hemp seed oil, menthol, capsicum, and black pepper. 

7

·Trauma Cream. Developed for blended infusion of cannabinoids and THC; Arnica is a primary ingredient for its numbing effect. 

·Face Garden.  An antioxidant, moisturizing cream for the face.  The ingredients in this formula include DMAE, Vitamins Ester C, B5, Oils of Evening Primrose and Borage Seed, which are believed to firm the skin and reduce puffiness and wrinkles, while restoring the skin to a natural glow and supple appearance. Hempseed, Neem, and Jojoba Oils are added to lock in moisture. 

·Body Garden.  A moisturizing body lotion designed to relieve itchy dry skin and protect against sun damage.  The ingredients in this formula include Hempseed Oil, Green Tea, and Blue Green Algae. The organic herbs, essential oils, butters, and minerals used in "Body Garden" have been formulated to provide nutrition to the skin which we believe encourages the dermis to remain healthy or return to health. 

·Lip Garden.  An emollient balm containing Vitamin E and Hemp Butter that we believe can assist with healing of the lips while keeping them supple and moist. 

·Clothing and Merchandise. We offer Wild Earth Naturals and "hi" branded logo men's and women's fashion tee shirts and sweatshirts from American Apparel, as well as caps and coffee mugs through the Company's www.wildearthnaturals.com website.  However, as of the date of this filing the website is not operational.  We expect that it will be operational again later in 2021. 

·Cut Cream. Through the acquisition and initiation of operations of GK Manufacturing and Packaging, we acquired a cut cream product formulation that has proven effective at healing the effects of bare knuckle fighting, boxing and MMA fighting.  We also recently retained Stitch Duran, a preeminent cut man with a world-wide reputation in the fight industry, to promote the product.  

Objectives

Our current strategy is to continue to promote and grow the telemedicine business under our PrestoDoctor brand, while also focusing on the start-up and ramp up of operations in our contract manufacturing business.  We also intend to develop and acquire new patents when warranted, as well as developing or acquiring trade secrets, trademarks and other intellectual property that extends our reach in our targeted markets. In addition, we will seek new branding and licensing opportunities for our intellectual property, and we will seek strategic corporate and product acquisitions.

Marketing & Distribution

Market Conditions in the Cannabis Industry. Our target markets are located in states that have legalized the production and use of cannabis.  Eleven states plus the District of Columbia have approved measures to legalize cannabis for adult recreational use.  Thirty-three states, the District of Columbia and the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico have legalized the use of cannabis for medical use in some form. However, it may take multiple years for a state to establish regulations and for cannabis businesses to begin generating revenue from operations in a given state.

Non-Infused Products and Merchandise. We launched our www.wildearthnaturals.com  website in August 2013, employing high quality graphic artists and designers. We intend to use social media, primarily Facebook, to drive traffic to our websites.  Our online stores at www.wildearthnaturals.com are not producing revenue at this time, but the website is active and ready to process sales orders once the Company rolls out the brand development and product marketing plan for our consumer products lines.

During 2021, we plan to utilize direct business to business sales, internet advertising, social media market, and trade show participation to generate sales leads, orders and to entry into leading retailers and wholesalers throughout the U.S.  No assurances can be given that we will be successful in such efforts.

Infused Products. For cannabis infused products, we are developing our customer base through licensing agreements with third parties who are compliant with state cannabis laws in the states in which they conduct business.

8

We plan to build brand awareness by utilizing a mix of social media, trade shows, education efforts, and direct marketing to targeted businesses.

Geographic Presence. We plan to build brand awareness for our products in states where medical cannabis is legal, and to sell non-infused products throughout the United States.

Competition

Cannabis Industry. While we do not sell cannabis, we expect to license our intellectual property to others in the future to businesses that will sell cannabis in states where medicinal cannabis is legal.  Therefore, we look to the participants in the medical cannabis market for information on competition, as such competition will have an effect on our ability to license our branding and other intellectual property.

We believe the competition in the cannabis market will include numerous cannabis product companies that are highly fragmented in terms of geographic market coverage, distribution channels and product categories – with companies taking a state by state approach.  We believe that competition is principally based upon price, quality, efficacy of products, branding, marketing, customer service, and trade support.  We anticipate that large pharmaceutical companies will eventually begin to more aggressively compete in the cannabis product market. These companies and certain larger entities may have broader product lines and/or larger sales volumes than companies such as ours our those of our licensees.  Larger entities entering this market may have significantly greater financial and other resources available to them and possess extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities. We anticipate that many of the larger competitors will be able to compete more effectively due to a greater extent of vertical integration. The entry of larger competitors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Skin Care. Our competition includes numerous skin care companies that are highly fragmented in terms of geographic market coverage, distribution channels, and product categories. In addition, large pharmaceutical companies compete with us in the skin care market.  These companies and certain large entities have broader product lines and larger sales volumes than us and have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities. Among our more prominent competitors are: Earthly Body, Burt's Bees, Melaleuca and Clarins, all of which have substantially longer track records and greater financial resources and operating efficiencies than do we. As a company with limited capital resources, we believe we will be at a competitive disadvantage until such time as we develop a broad portfolio of products that are known and accepted in the industry and we are able to demonstrate a history of financial stability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in the market.

Technology. The competition against our information technology platform iBudtender.com and the iBudtender App, both of which we had hoped to release in 2020, include companies such as Weedmaps, Leafly, MassRoots, and Leafstrain.  Competition in the information technology market for cannabis is growing rapidly and many of our competitors have more experience and greater financial resources than do we. As a company with limited capital resources, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in a rapidly changing information technology market.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

Our products are produced using ingredients that we believe to be readily available from several sources. We purchase our raw materials from a number of different vendors. Our apparel and merchandise are procured through Printful.com. While we expect the raw materials we use to be readily available in normal times, the current COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted elements of the supply chain and we cannot determine the effect such disruptions may have on the availability of raw materials in future periods.

Intellectual Property

We hold certain intellectual property (the "IP") consisting of recipes and process/methods to maximize the cannabinoid concentrations to be used to make a medical marijuana ("MMJ") edible or to make a MMJ lozenge.  We also hold rights to a proprietary recipe and process/method to maximize the cannabinoid concentrations to be used to make a salve/ointment containing CBD and Arnica Montana.

We also hold the rights of a patent for the CTA strain of cannabis and we hold two patent applications filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office with regard to use of the CTA strain in a lozenge and as a treatment for hypertension. We are continuing to pursue these applications; however, no assurances can be given that the remaining patent applications will result in the issuance of any patents.

We are also pursuing the "hi" mark in several categories filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. An objection has been filed by Tweed Corporation which wishes to use the mark on apparel. Settlement talks are ongoing.  The Company uses (or licenses) the "hi" branding for skin care products, edibles (infused and non-infused), apparel and branded merchandise.

We hold a Federal trademark on the name and stylized branding of "Wild Earth Naturals".  We have acquired the following registered U.S. Trademarks: Cannabis*Sativa(R), DISPENSARxY(R), and CannaRx(R). The IP identifiers are Cannabis*Sativa(R), Registration Number 4,868,622, DISPENSARxY(R), Registration Number 4,642,830 and CannaRx(R), Registration Number 4,725,687. The Marks are registered in CL 35 under Goods and Services.  No assurance can be given that such steps as the company has and will take will provide sufficient protection against potential competitors and we may be unable to successfully assert our intellectual property rights or these rights may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged.  Any such invalidity, particularly with respect to our product names, or a successful intellectual property challenge or infringement proceeding against us, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business

Currently, our products consist of a telemedicine service and we are establishing contract manufacturing capabilities for products containing Hemp-based CBD.  We do not, at this time cultivate, process or sell products derived from cannabis plants or products containing THC.  We do hold patents and intellectual property relating to cannabis and cannabis derived products, and our business plan envisions that we may seek to begin selling cannabis or cannabis derived products at some point in the future.  Accordingly, while the following discussion on governmental regulation is not directly applicable to the Company today, we may become subject to these regulations in the near future.

Cannabis is currently a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and is, therefore, illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of cannabis has been legalized pursuant to state law, its use, possession or cultivation remains a violation of federal law. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as one that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") defines Schedule I controlled substances as "the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence." If the federal government decides to enforce the CSA, persons that are charged with distributing, possessing with intent to distribute or growing cannabis could be subject to fines and/or terms of imprisonment, the maximum being life imprisonment and a $50 million fine, even though these persons are in compliance with state law.

In light of such conflict between federal laws and state laws regarding cannabis, the previous administration under President Obama had effectively stated that it was not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical cannabis. Any change in the federal government's enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us. While we do not currently harvest, distribute or sell cannabis, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement policies of the federal government.

10

The Company and our licensed products will also be subject to a number of other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations.  We anticipate that our licensees and vendors will be required to manufacture our products in accordance with the Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines and will be subject to regulations relating to employee safety, working conditions, protection of the environment, and other items.  The current administration has indicated that it will closely scrutinize the cannabis industry, in particular, recreational marijuana.  Changes in laws, rules and regulations or the recall of any product by a regulatory authority, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

In addition to cannabis related regulations, our skincare and nutraceutical products are subject to a number of federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations.  We are required to manufacture our products in accordance with the Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines and we are also subject to regulations relating to employee safety, working conditions, protection of the environment, and other items.  Changes in such laws, rules and regulations or the recall of any product by a regulatory authority, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Justice Department Position on Marijuana Enforcement

Because of the inconsistencies in federal and state law, on January 4, 2018, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a memo on federal marijuana enforcement policy announcing what it deemed to be a return to the rule of law and the rescission of previous guidance documents, including the so called Cole Memorandum. Since the passage of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970, Congress has generally prohibited the cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana. There continues to be uncertainty respecting the enforcement of prohibitions against cultivation, distribution and possession of marijuana and the Company is monitoring the situation closely. In the event a change is announced, the Company will consider taking actions to protect its business if warranted.

We intend to conduct rigorous due diligence to verify the legality of all activities that we engage in and ensure that our activities do not interfere with any of the enforcement priorities of the Department of Justice.

COVID-19

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Its rapid spread around the world and throughout the United States prompted many countries, including the United States, to institute restrictions on travel, public gatherings and certain business operations. These restrictions significantly disrupted economic activity in the United States and Worldwide.  In retrospect, the pandemic did have a negative impact on the contract manufacturing business start-up (primarily delay) and had a positive impact on our telehealth business through loosening of regulations allowing telehealth services and an increase in persons seeking telehealth services to avoid in person visits to doctors offices. ON a combined basis, the COVID-19 disruption did not materially impact the Company’s financial statements. It now appears that the impacts from COVID are lessening and we anticipate a general improvement in the contract manufacturing space in 2021.

Research and Development

We plan to conduct research, develop products and engage in development activities with an initial focus on the following:

·Consider and research telemedicine platforms and expansion opportunities that can supplement or enhance the PrestoDoctor platform and business operations; 

·Identify and research Hemp derived CBD oils and related products to determine quality, availability, and efficacy in order to formulate and manufacture new CBD products; 

·Identify and research new strains of cannabis and combinations of cannabis and cannabinoid nutrients that may be candidates for new products; 

·Identify and research products, including intellectual property, that will benefit enhance or benefit the cannabis industry, from cultivation to consumers; 

11

·Introduce new herbal ingredients for use in supplements; 

·Study the metabolic activities of existing and newly identified ingredients; 

·Enhance existing products, as new discoveries in cannabis are made; 

·Formulate products to meet diverse regulatory requirements across all of its markets; 

·Investigate processes for improving the production of its formulated products; and 

·Investigate activities of natural extracts and formulated products in laboratory and clinical settings. 

It is through our internal research and development efforts and our relationships with outside research organizations and health care providers that we believe we will be able to develop high quality products. We plan for our research and development activities to include developing products that are new to the industry, updating existing formulas to keep them current with the latest science, and adapting existing formulas to meet ever-changing regulations in new and existing domestic markets.  We will select our ingredients to meet a number of criteria, including, but not limited to, safety, potency, purity, stability, bioavailability, and efficacy. We will require our licensees and vendors to control the quality of our products beginning at the formulation stage and maintain quality control through controlled sourcing of raw ingredients, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling.  Going forward, we intend to increase our spending and resources for research and development.

Environmental Laws

We have no known costs, and none are anticipated, from environmental laws, rules and regulations.

Equity Compensation Plan

During 2017, the Company adopted the Cannabis Sativa, Inc. 2017 Stock Plan which authorizes the board of directors to issue up an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to allow the Company to compensate employees and consultants from time to time by issuing them shares of Company common stock in return for services provided to the Company rather than paying for the services in cash thereby depleting the cash assets of the Company.  Under the plan there were no set issuances of stock to which any party is entitled.  Distributions are only allowed pursuant to the discretion of the board of directors if and when it is in the best interest of the Company to make any distribution. As of April 1, 2021, the Company had issued 3,000,000 shares under the 2017 Stock Plan, leaving no shares available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan.

Special Sales Practice Requirements with Regard to “Penny Stocks”

To protect investors from patterns of fraud and abuse that have occurred in the market for low priced securities commonly referred to as “penny stocks,” the SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security having a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share, or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Our stock is subject to the “penny stock” regulations during periods in which the price is below $5.00 per share.  During any such periods, broker-dealers selling our common stock are subject to additional sales practices when they sell our stock to persons other than established clients and “accredited investors.”  For transactions covered by these rules, before the transaction is executed, the broker-dealer must make a special customer suitability determination, receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction and deliver a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative taking the order, current quotations for the securities and, if applicable, the fact that the broker-dealer is the sole market maker and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market.  Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  Such “penny stock” rules may restrict trading in our common stock and may deter broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.

Not Applicable.  The Company is a “smaller reporting company” and not subject to the Selected Financial Data requirement of Item 6.

Results of Operations

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 compared with fiscal year ended December 31, 2019

Revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $2,035,283 and $1,159,737, respectively. Cost of revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $893,482 and $462,940, respectively. Gross profit for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1,141,801 and $696,797, respectively.  The increases for 2020 are a result of the improved business operations of PrestoCorp, our 51% owned subsidiary. Telemedicine is a growth area, especially now with the COVID-19 pandemic, and this growth drove revenues higher in 2020. In 2020, the Company also commenced operations in GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (GKMP), and this division added approximately $95,000 in revenues and $153,000 in cost of goods sold.

Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 was $2,458,544 compared to net loss of $4,006,713 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.  The decrease in the net loss resulted primarily from an impairment loss of $1,376,593 taken in 2019, compared to no impairment losses taken in 2020. The 2019 impairment losses also resulted in a decrease in amortization in 2020 to $217,768 compared to $561,434 in 2019.  In addition, professional fees increased to $750,030 in 2020, compared to $547,284 in 2019, wages and salaries increased to $810,027 in 2020 compared to $393,310 in 2019, and advertising increased to $503,973 in 2020 compared to $195,879 in 2019. General and administrative expenses were essentially unchanged between periods. In 2020, we reduced our reliance on outside professionals and focused primarily on building our PrestoCorp subsidiary while looking for other acquisition candidates to expand our base business.  As noted in the description of our business, we negotiated the acquisition of certain production equipment and in February 2020, we closed on the acquisition and established a new operating subsidiary to engage in contract manufacturing of products containing hemp-based CBD.

Total operating expenses were $3,686,989 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $4,501,902 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.  The bulk of the operating expenses for both years were paid using the Company’s common stock and therefore required minimal cash. The Company used $191,756 in net cash from operating activities in 2020, compared to positive net cash provided by operating activities in 2019 of $94,648.

Results by Operating Divisions in the Year Ended December 31, 2020

PrestoCorp grew revenue by 68% and cost of sales decreased to 38% in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019.  This resulted in an increase in gross margin to 62% in 2020 compared to 60% in 2019.  These operational improvements were driven by improved efficiencies through scale of the company’s business and as a result of increased telehealth opportunities due to Covid-19.

15

GKMP did not operate in the year ended December 31, 2019.  Results of operations for the contract manufacturing business reflect the start-up nature of this segment and the impact of the pandemic on prospective customers and their willingness to commit to contract manufacturing efforts when there is substantial uncertainty surrounding the long-term effect of the pandemic.  GKMP operated with a negative gross profit in the year ended December 31, 2020. This was primarily due to high labor costs incurred during the start-up phase of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As noted above, cash used for operating activities was $191,756 in 2020 compared to positive cash flow in 2019 of $94,648. In 2020, financing activities provided cash of $186,300, consisting of proceeds from sales of restricted stock in the amount of $25,000 and from proceeds from related parties notes and advances in the amount of $161,300. We ended 2020 with $322,107 in cash on hand.

In the year ended December 31, 2019, our operations generated positive cash flow of $94,648. In 2019, financing activities provided cash of $141,882 consisting of cash proceeds from sales of restricted stock in the amount of $50,000 and from proceeds from related parties in the amount of $91,882. We ended 2019 with $336,107 in cash on hand.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We incurred net losses attributable to Cannabis Sativa, Inc. of $2,173,192 and $3,936,386, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and had an accumulated deficit of $77,028,339 as of December 31, 2020 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may seek to raise money for working capital purposes through a public offering of its equity capital or through a private placement of equity capital or convertible debt.  It will be important for the Company to be successful in its efforts to raise capital in this manner if it is going to be able to further its business plan in an aggressive manner.  Raising capital in this manner will cause dilution to current shareholders.

As of April 16, 2021, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $330,000.  As a result, the Company has does not have sufficient liquidity to meet the immediate needs of our current operations.  Cash represents cash deposits held at financial institutions. Cash is held at major financial institutions and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to federal insurance limits.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

At December 31, 2020, disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due primarily to the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control of financial reporting as discussed below.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our CEO and our CFO and with the oversight of the Board of Directors, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“2013 Framework”).

A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

17

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over equity issuances as compensation for services, period end cut-off for recording payables, and communications between accounting personnel and management concerning related party and inter-company transactions.

Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management concluded that, due to the material weakness, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020.

Remedial Actions

Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. We plan to address the material weaknesses identified by adding additional accounting personnel and functions, and by designing additional controls over the documentation and application of technical accounting guidance to our business. We are also reviewing our period end cut-off procedures and reconciliation procedures to strengthen our controls in these areas, and we are focused on improving our communications to deliver information where and when needed.

Management believes that the remediation efforts to be undertaken will effectively address the material weaknesses. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the remediation plan described above. We cannot assure you, however, when we will remediate such weaknesses, nor can we be certain of whether additional actions will be required or the costs of any such actions.

Changes in Internal Controls

None.

Robert Tankson. Mr. Tankson worked for Google from 2011 through 2012.  After leaving Google in 2012, to pursue his passion for business finance and technology, Rob saw an opportunity in the cannabis space to develop a telemedicine platform. This led to the cofounding of PrestoCorp. The PrestoCorp platform, known as PrestoDoctor, is an online medical cannabis evaluation service that connects patients with cannabis friendly doctors in California, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma and Missouri, with more states in the pipeline. As an executive of PrestoCrop, Rob directed the search for a business partner and ultimately the acquisition of 51% of PrestoCorp by Cannabis Sativa, Inc., in August 2017.  Rob continues as an executive of PrestoCorp and is now helping to direct the rapid expansion of the PrestoDoctor platform in the rapidly changing world during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mr. Reed’s knowledge of the cannabis industry and his work with state regulators in connection with cannabis legislation brings valuable insight regarding the emerging cannabis industry and regulation to the board of directors.

Mr. Herr’s experience as an attorney and CPA along with his extensive experience advising boards of directors of public and private companies will assist the board in evaluating opportunities, following best corporate governance practices, and providing oversight to the officers of the company and its subsidiaries as they execute the strategic business plan.

Mr. Tankson’s experience in the telemedicine space and his position as an executive of PrestoCorp will provide the Board with insights into the company’s attempts to grow the telemedicine business as telemedicine becomes an ever more important aspect of life after the COVID-19 pandemic abates.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our officers and directors.

Term of Office

The term of office of each director is one year and until his or her successor is elected at the annual stockholders' meeting and is qualified, subject to removal by the stockholders.  The term of office for each officer is for one year and until his or her successor is elected at the annual meeting of the board of directors and is qualified, subject to removal by the board of directors.  David Tobias was appointed President of the Company on March 29, 2016, and CEO of the Company on January 9, 2019. Cathy Carroll joined the Board in 2013 and also serves as Treasurer of the Company. Trevor Reed joined the Board in 2017.  Brad E. Herr was appointed CFO and Director on January 2, 2020. Robert Tankson joined the Board on January 31, 2020.  

Directors during 2019 also included Stephen Downing and Deborah Goldsberry, both of whom resigned in 2019.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors consists of five persons. One director, Trevor Reed, is "independent" within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(3) of the NASDAQ Marketplace.  The four that are not independent are officers of the Company or a subsidiary.

Our board of directors designated an audit committee to be comprised of two independent directors. At this time, the Company only has one independent director, Trevor Reed. The board also does not have an independent "financial expert" to serve on the audit committee. As a result, the Company is not able to designate an audit committee and the function of the audit committee is currently being performed by the entire Board.

The board of directors has designated a compensation committee comprised of two independent directors.  At this time, the Company only has one independent director, Trevor Reed. As a result, the Company is not able to designate a compensation committee and the function of the compensation committee is currently being performed by the entire Board.

The Company does not have a standing nominating committee and the Company's Board of Directors performs the functions that would customarily be performed by a nominating committee.  The Board of Directors does not believe a separate nominating committee is required at this time due to the limited resources of the Company.  The Board of Directors has not established policies with regard to the consideration of director candidates recommended by security holders or the minimum qualifications of such candidates.

Director Meetings

In 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors meetings were held as needed via remote conference call. As a matter of convenience, many of the actions requiring Board approval are conducted telephonically and then documented as consent minutes. All minutes approved by consent require signatures from all directors. Most Board meetings are attended by all of the Directors, and absences, if any, are noted in the minutes. In 2021, meetings will be held at least once quarterly and more often if needed. Actions may also be taken in 2021 without formal meeting by consent signed by each of the directors.

21

Communications with Directors

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending written communications addressed to the Board of Directors, or any individual director, to: Cannabis Sativa, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 450 Hillside Dr., #A224, Mesquite, NV 89027.  All communications will be compiled by the corporate secretary and forwarded to the Board of Directors or any individual director, as appropriate.  In order to facilitate a response to any such communication, the Company’s Board of Directors suggests, but does not require, that any such submission include the name and contact information of the shareholder submitting the communication.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our executive officers, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers.  We do not believe the adoption of a code of ethics at this time would provide any meaningful additional protection to the Company because we have only four executive officers and our business operations are not complex.

During the past ten years none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, or control persons was:

1.the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;  

2.convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);  

3.subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or  

4.found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.   

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance  

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of securities ownership and changes in such ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than ten percent shareholders also are required by rules promulgated by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, we believe that one of our directors needs to file a Form 3.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the annual compensation paid to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer in all capacities for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.  No other person served as an executive officer of the Company or received total annual compensation from the Company in excess of $100,000 other than Mr. Gravel, Mr. Tobias, Ms. Carroll, and Mr. Lundbom as set forth in the table.

We do not have any retirement, pension or profit-sharing plans covering our officers or directors, and we are not contemplating implementing any such plans at this time.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits 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.

Nature of Business:

Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company,” “us”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated as Ultra Sun Corp. under the laws of Nevada in November 2004.  On November 13, 2013, we changed our name to Cannabis Sativa, Inc.  We operate through several subsidiaries including PrestoCorp, Inc. (“PrestoCorp”), iBudtender, Inc. (“iBudtender”), Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. (“Wild Earth”), Kubby Patent and Licenses Limited Liability Company, (“KPAL”), Hi Brands, International, Inc. (“Hi Brands”), GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”), and Eden Holdings LLC (“Eden”).  PrestoCorp and GK Manufacturing are both 51% owned subsidiaries and iBudtender is a 50.1% owned subsidiary. Wild Earth, KPAL, Hi Brands, and Eden are wholly owned subsidiaries. Currently, PrestoCorp, GKMP and iBudtender are operating subsidiaries, although iBudtender is not currently generating any revenue. The Company is reviewing opportunities for business development relating to Wild Earth, KPAL, and Hi Brands. Eden is not operating and had no activity for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Our primary operations in the year ended December 31, 2020 were through PrestoCorp, which provides telemedicine online referral services for customers desiring medical marijuana cards in states where medical marijuana has been legalized. GKMP commenced operations during the second quarter of 2020. iBudtender is also working to complete and commercialize an application (the iBudtender App) that will provide a convenient means for sharing information about cannabis products, patients and businesses.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company” or “CBDS”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Wild Earth Naturals, Inc., Hi-Brands International, Inc., Eden Holdings LLC, our 50.1% ownership of iBudtender Inc., our 51% ownership of PrestoCorp, and our 51% ownership of GK Manufacturing Inc., (collectively referred to as the “Company”).  All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. We hold controlling interests in iBudTender, PrestoCorp and GK Manufacturing and exercise control through management practices and oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors.  GK Manufacturing was established in February 2020.

Non-controlling Interests:

Non-controlling interests are portions of entities included in the condensed consolidated financial statements that are not attributable to the Company.  Non-controlling interest are identified separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity and its net income (loss). Non-controlling interest equity balances include the non-controlling entity’s initial contribution at the date of the original acquisition, ongoing contributions, distributions, and percentage share of earnings since inception. The non-controlling interests are calculated based on percentages of ownership.

Going Concern:

The Company has had recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit of $77,028,339 at December 31, 2020, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they are due.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the allowance for doubtful accounts, possible impairment of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, contingencies, and the value attributed to stock-based awards.

FS-6

Accounts Receivable:

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through an allowance for doubtful accounts. Changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on management’s judgment, considering historical write-offs, collections and current credit conditions. Balances which remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to the applicable accounts receivable. Payments received on receivables subsequent to being written off are considered a bad debt recovery.

Inventories:

Inventory costs, when applicable, include those costs directly attributable to the manufacture of the product before sale. Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method of determining cost.  Inventories at December 31, 2020 consist of emoluments, CBD oils, scents, flavors, and similar components of the salves, edibles, drinks, and topical products that GKMP produces.  As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no inventory.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The average lives range from five (5) to ten (10) years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life. When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.  Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred.  Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and balances due to related parties approximate fair value given their short-term nature.

Cash:

Cash is held at major financial institutions and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to federal insurance limits. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

Net Loss per Share:

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and contains no dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company.  Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 175,000 and 174,900 outstanding warrants, respectively, that could be dilutive to future periods net income. Also, at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 1,090,128 and 1,021,849 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock, respectively, that could be dilutive to future periods net income.

Investments:

Equity securities of investments in which the Company owns less than 20% and/or has no significant influence are generally measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for equity securities are included in earnings. Upon sale of an equity security, the realized gain or loss is recognized in earnings.

FS-7

Investments in companies in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company will consider its participation in policy-making decisions and representation on governing bodies. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the net earnings or losses of the investee will be included in earnings. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has no investments accounted for using the equity method (Note 2).

Investments in companies in which the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interests, but less than 100%, and has significant influence, the company is consolidated and other investor interests are presented as non-controlling.

Revenue Recognition:

Provision for sales incentives, discounts and returns and allowances, if applicable, are accounted for as reductions of revenue in the period the related sales are recorded. The Company had no warranty costs associated with the sales of its products.

The Company currently operates two divisions, the telehealth business operated through PrestoCorp and the contract manufacturing business operated through GKMP.

The telehealth division generates revenue based on a per telehealth visit for clients looking to obtain a permit to use marijuana for medical purposes in states that have legalized medical marijuana. Revenues are recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to provide telehealth services upon a referral to a contracted physician. The obligation to perform the referral and the referral are automated and occur at the same time an online client subscribes for the visit and gains access to our network of health care professionals. Recognition of revenue is not dependent on the issuance of a marijuana card since issuance of the card is dependent on health and other factors beyond our control. This initial service is a one-time referral to a physician. Clients may return for other telehealth consultations, typically regarding product recommendations, and such additional physician referrals are provided at an additional cost. The billing and payment processes for each physician referral are automated through our online platform. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that is received in exchange for each physician referral provided to the client.

The contract manufacturing division recognizes revenue from manufacturing operations when the products are shipped to the customer. In some instances, customers provide inventory for the manufacturing process and GKMP provides labor, supplies and manufacturing operations to mix and package the products.  Revenues are recognized when the manufacturing and packaging process are completed and the goods have been shipped to the customer.  In other instances, the Company acquires inventory and manufactures products for customers and/or to hold in inventory for later sale to customers through the GKMP on-site dispensary, through the GKMP online store, or to independent distributors. In these instances, revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer or distributor.  Shipment terms are FOB origination.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill:

Intangible asset amounts represent the acquisition date fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair values of the intangible assets were determined by using the income approach, discounting projected future cash flows based on management’s expectations of the current and future operating environment. The rates used to discount projected future cash flows reflected a weighted average cost of capital based on our industry, capital structure and risk premiums including those reflected in the current market capitalization. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, which have historically ranged from 5 to 10 years. The carrying amounts of our definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the entity may be unable to recover the asset’s carrying amount.   At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we do not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. To assess impairment, the fair value of

FS-8

the reporting unit is evaluated on qualitative factors.  If the qualitative factors indicate a likelihood of impairment, we then evaluate carrying value of the reporting unit based on quantitative factors using the income approach. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill for the reporting unit over its implied fair value.

Advertising Expense:

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are broken out separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock-based payments to employees and non-employees are recognized at their fair values.  Compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  Transactions in which goods or services are received for the issuance of shares of the Company’s preferred or common stock are accounted for based on the fair value of the common stock issued.  When options to purchase shares of stock are granted, fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Most awards to date have been in the form of shares of the Company’s common and preferred stock issued under the Company’s 2017 Stock Plan. The Company currently recognizes compensation costs immediately as our awards are 100% vested at the time of issuance.

Income Taxes:

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recorded to reflect the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of various assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Additionally, deferred tax assets are evaluated, and a valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future operations will produce sufficient earnings so that the deferred tax asset can be fully utilized. The Company currently maintains a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets.

Leases:

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at the inception of an arrangement. If the Company determines that the arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at lease inception, it then determines whether the lease is an operating lease or finance lease. Operating and finance leases result in recording a right-to-use (“RTU”) asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets. RTU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease RTU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease RTU assets and operating lease liabilities, the Company uses the non-cancellable lease term plus options to extend that it is reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize RTU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for any class of underlying asset.

FS-9

Fair Value Measurements:

Contingencies:

In determining accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies, the Company evaluates such accruals and contingencies for each reporting period. Estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Accounting Standards Updates Adopted

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Auditing Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update removes, modifies and makes additions to the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The update was adopted as of January 1, 2020, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within that reporting period. The update was adopted as of January 1, 2020, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update contains a number of provisions intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 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. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,

FS-10

including interim periods within those fiscal years and with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

7.  Acquisition of GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc.

In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired assets and established GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”) to conduct contract manufacturing operations for customers seeking to obtain CBD infused products, including salves, tinctures, edibles, and other products containing CBD. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued two key individuals an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $109,000 for a 51% interest in GKMP.   Allocation of the acquisition price to the assets acquired was as followed:

The 49% non-controlling interest is considered a related party to the Company because the non-controlling interest is owned, in part, by the president of GKMP.

Employment Agreements.  Upon completion of the acquisition of assets for GKMP, GKMP entered into employment agreements with the two key individuals. The employment agreements are terminable at any time with or without cause, but in the event of termination without cause, the salary will continue for six months. Salary for the president of GKMP is set at $65,000 per annum and salary for the Vice President – Sales and Marketing is set at $50,000 per annum.  The agreements also provide the individuals with expense reimbursements and other employee benefits comparable to those being offered to the other employees of the Company. Currently, GKMP has not established any other employee benefit programs.

Contingent Consideration.  In connection with the GKMP asset acquisition, the Company agreed to pay additional consideration to the two key individuals employed by GKMP upon achievement of certain performance goals. If GKMP net revenues exceed $3,000,000 and net income exceeds 25% of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2020, an additional $1,000,000 in consideration would be due to the key individuals. If GKMP net revenues exceed $6,000,000 and net income exceeds 25% of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2020, an additional $500,000

in consideration would be due to the key individuals ($1,500,000 in the aggregate). The additional consideration amounts, if any, would be payable in stock at the average closing price of the shares in the five trading days prior to the date of payment.  During the year ended December 31, 2020, GKMP has reported net revenues of approximately $95,000; thus no additional consideration will be paid under this provision.

Working Capital Obligation. In connection with the GKMP asset acquisition, the Company agreed to provide up to an additional $500,000 in working capital to GKMP.  These amounts are recorded as investment in GKMP by CBDS and as equity on the books of GKMP and are eliminated in the consolidation.  Due to the ownership structure of GKMP, 49% of the working capital payments from the Company to GKMP benefit the holders of the non-controlling interest.  The full amount of the working capital commitment to GKMP was funded in the year ended December 31, 2020.
