NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Operations

Legacy Card Company, LLC (“Legacy”) was formed as a Limited Liability Company on August 29, 2001. On April 18, 2005, Legacy converted from a California Limited Liability Company to a Nevada Corporation. On November 10, 2005, Legacy merged with Cardiff Lexington Corp. (“Cardiff Lexington”, the “Company”), a publicly held corporation. On April 13, 2021 Cardiff Lexington Corporation converted from a Florida Corporation to a Nevada Corporation.

In the first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure Cardiff Lexington into a holding company that adopted a new business model known as "Collaborative Governance," a form of governance enabling businesses to take advantage of the potential access to capital markets provided by affiliation with a publicly-traded company. Cardiff Lexington began targeting the acquisition of niche companies with high growth potential. The reason for this strategy was to protect the Company’s shareholders by acquiring businesses with little to no debt, seeking support with both financing and management that had the ability to offer a return to investors.

Description of Business

Cardiff Lexington consists of the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

We Three, LLC dba Affordable Housing Initiative (“AHI”), acquired May 15, 2014

Romeo’s Alpharetta, LLC dba Romeo’s NY Pizza (“Romeo’s Pizza”), acquired June 30, 2014; Sold July 1, 2020.

Edge View Properties, Inc., (“Edge View”) acquired July 16, 2014

Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC (“Repicci’s Group”), acquired August 10, 2016; Sold June 1, 2020.

Platinum Tax Defenders, LLC (“Platinum Tax”), acquired July 31, 2018

JM Enterprises 1, Inc. dba Key Tax Group (“Key Tax”), acquired May 8, 2019

Red Rock Travel Group, LLC (“Red Rock”), acquired July 31, 2018, discontinued May 31, 2019

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying September 30, 2020 interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making estimates. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Change in Capital Structure

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company executed a reverse stock split of 1,500:1 of Common Stock effective December 31, 2018.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company announced a reverse split of several of its Preferred Stock Classes effective December 31, 2019.

In May 2020, the Company affected a 10,000:1 reverse split of Common Stock effective March 31, 2020.

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company completed a change in domicile from a Florida corporation to a Nevada Corporation.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of a novel coronavirus throughout the world, including the United States, during early calendar year 2020 has caused widespread business and economic disruption through mandated and voluntary business closings and restrictions on the movement and activities of people (“COVID-19 Pandemic”). The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the COVID-19 Pandemic is rapidly evolving in many countries, including the United States and other markets where the Company operates. It is expected that many of the Company's customers and suppliers could be impacted by these closings and restrictions which could materially and adversely affect demand for our products, our ability to obtain or deliver inventory or services, and our ability to collect accounts receivables as customers face higher liquidity and solvency risk. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause an economic downturn, recession, or depression. Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business. Policymakers around the world have responded with fiscal and monetary policy actions to support the economy. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remains uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018.

The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized:

(1)

identifying the contract with a customer,

(2)

identifying the performance obligations in the contract,

(3)

determining the transaction price,

(4)

allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and

(5)

recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

Our tax services subsidiaries receive payments in advance of service and are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized as services are provided.

Rental Income

The Company’s rent revenue is derived from the mobile home leases. The expired leases are considered month-to-month leases. In accordance with section 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition, the cost of property held for leasing by major classes of property according to nature or function, and the amount of accumulated depreciation in total, is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There are no contingent rentals included in income in the accompanying statements of operations. With the exception of the month-to-month leases, revenue was recognized on a straight-line basis and amortized into income on a monthly basis, over the lease term.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is reported on the balance sheet at gross amounts due to the Company. Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges off to expense any balances that are determined to be uncollectible which was $0 and $21,870 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectfully. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had accounts receivable of $25,483 and $16,377, respectively. Accounts receivables are primarily generated from our subsidiaries in their normal course of business.

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are carried at cost. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property, equipment or leasehold improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes based on the following estimated useful lives:

Classification	Useful Life
Equipment, furniture, and fixtures	5 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements	10 years or lease term, if shorter

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived brands are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. The Company believes such assumptions are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. During quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the company did not recognize any goodwill impairment. The Company based this decision on impairment testing of the underlying assets, expected cash flows, decreased asset value and other factors.

Valuation of long-lived assets

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and construction in progress held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-10”), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with freestanding derivative instruments such as convertible promissory notes, on their issuance date to determine whether they would be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.

For option based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital).

When the Company records a BCF which is not a conventional convertible, the fair value of the BCF is recorded as a derivative liability with an offset against the face amount of the respective debt instrument which is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level Input Definition

Level 1

Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2

Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
Fair Value of BCF Derivative Liability – March 31, 2021		$	–			$	–			$	2,402,858			$	2,402,858

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
Fair Value of BCF Derivative Liability – December 31, 2020		$	–			$	–			$	2,405,358			$	2,405,358

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company early adopted ASU No 2018-07 for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

For the periods ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions and did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Loss per Share

FASB ASC Subtopic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), provides for the calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, warrants, and debts convertible into common shares. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception and has negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has sustained recurring losses and accumulated a working capital deficit of approximately $12 million. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and the appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. Management has prospective investors and believes the raising of capital will allow the Company to fund its cash flow shortfalls and pursue new acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to it. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds, it may be required to curtail its operating plans. In addition, increases in expenses may require cost reductions. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future. Should the Company not be able to raise sufficient funds, it may cause cessation of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8.	CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Some of the Convertible Notes issued as described below included anti-dilution provisions that allowed for the adjustment of the conversion price. The Company considered the guidance provided by the FASB in “Determining Whether an Instrument Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock,” the result of which indicates that the instrument is not indexed to the issuer’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that, as the conversion price of the Notes issued in connection therewith could fluctuate based future events, such prices were not fixed amounts. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes issued in connection therewith are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock and characterized the value of the conversion feature of such notes as derivative liabilities.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had proceeds of $103,500 and $865,500 from convertible notes, repaid $7,675 and $27,106 to convertible noteholders resulting in balances due to convertible note holders of $1,975,034 and $2,476,647, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, net of debt discounts. The following amounts reflect debt discount of $292,864 and $108,320 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. For the three months ending March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company recorded amortization of debt discounts of $454,958 and $246,185 during the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

9.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

	·	Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	·	Level 2 – Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	·	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using terms in the notes that are subject to volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

The derivative liability as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, in the amounts of $2,402,858 and $2,405,358, have a level 3 classification.

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s stock price decreased from its initial valuation and thus, the derivative liability also decreased. Although, this decrease is offset by an increase in derivative liabilities from new convertible notes that an embedded derivative liability. Generally, as the stock price decreases for each of the related convertible notes that have an embedded derivative liability, the value of the derivative liability decreases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s convertible notes with an embedded derivative liability.

The Company used the Black-Scholes Model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities as $2,402,858 and $2,405,358 on March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and will subsequently remeasures the fair value at the end of each reporting period, and record the change of fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of operation during the corresponding period.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2021:

Derivative Liability, December 31, 2020	$	2,405,358
Day 1 Loss		438,321
Discount on derivatives		645,000
Derivatives settled		(1,024,373	)
Mark to market adjustment		(61,448	)
Derivative Liability, March 31, 2021	$	2,402,858

The above tables also include derivative liabilities related to warrants to purchase common stock of $22 at March 31, 2021. Net loss for the period included mark-to-market adjustments relating to the liabilities held during the three months ended March 31, 2021 in the amounts of $7,197.

The valuation of the derivative liabilities attached to the convertible debt was arrived at through the use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes Model”) using the following assumptions:

	For the Periods Ended
	March 31, 2021	December 31, 2020
Volatility	75.7% - 1,004.7%	204.5% - 1,005.9%
Risk-free interest rate	9% - 15%	9% - 15%
Expected term	.22 – 3.5	.33 – 2.5

CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock

Effective March 29, 2021, $265,000 in principle from convertible debt and conventional debt and $298,195 in accrued interest was converted into 140,799 shares of preferred stock series B with a $4.00 stated value per share. This has not yet been reflected in the statement of deficiency in shareholders’ equity.

During January 2020, we facilitated a reverse split of several classes our Preferred Stock which has been given retrospective treatment in these financial statements. In addition to the reverse stock split, management established new rights & privileges for certain classes of preferred stock. The reverse split ratio ranges from 1.6:1 to 307.7:1 resulting in a reclassification of $11,837,482 from preferred stock to additional paid in capital. The rights and privileges were changed with unanimous consent of all parties. All holders agreed to replace existing rights and privileges with new uniform conditions and a simplified uniform preferred $4.00 per share stated value.

Holders of Series B, D, D1, E, E1, F, F1, G, G1, H, H1, I, J, J1, L, L1, M, and P Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights that are affected by the closing common share market price on the date of conversion as reported on such national exchange where the Company’s common stock is traded:

i. If the closing market price of common stock is less than $4 per share one (1) share the Preferred Stock shall convert into an amount of common stock equal to: two (2) times the Stated Value, as defined herein, divided by the closing market price as reported on such national exchange where the Company’s common stock is traded on the date of conversion. For Example. If the closing price of the common stock as reported on such national exchange where the Company’s common stock is traded is $1.00 and the Stated Value is $4.00, one (1) preferred share would convert into eight (8) shares of common stock.

ii. If the closing market price of common stock is equal to or greater than $4 per share one (1) share the Preferred Stock shall convert into two (2) shares of common stock. For Example. If the closing price of the common stock as reported on such national exchange where the Company’s common stock is traded is $5.00 one (1) preferred share would convert into two (2) shares of common stock.

Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall have Conversion Rights such that upon Conversion each one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock shall convert into one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of the Common Stock. In the event that the Company should up list to a national exchange as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be redeemed by the Company in exchange for a total of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) worth of the Common Stock, valued at the time of redemption.

Holders of the Series K and K1 Preferred Stock shall have Conversion Rights such that upon Conversion each one (1) share of Series K and K1 Preferred Stock shall convert into 1.25 shares of the Common Stock.

Holders of Series R Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights to common stock equal to $0.30; provided, however if the price of the Common Stock closes below $0.30 for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the Conversion Date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to $0.20, and if the price of the Common Stock closes below $0.20 for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the Conversion Date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to $0.10.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Management has decided to divest from the food services sector due primarily to a shift in strategy to focus time and resources on opportunities in the financial services sector to build upon its tax subsidiaries with related debt, credit, billing, and real estate opportunities. The Company’s restaurant franchise operations have been hard hit by the economic pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent directives and responses to this crisis taken by federal, state, and local governments. In light of current circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, Cardiff, as a public reporting company, must evaluate what the Company should and are obligated to do in order to protect shareholders from the negative effects of this pandemic.

As a result, management entered into agreements with the existing managers who were the original owners of Romeo’s NY Pizza (“Romeo’s”) and Repicci’s Franchise Group (“Repicci’s”) to buyback the subsidiaries previously purchased by Cardiff Lexington Corp.

The Company and the Repicci’s manager have entered into a Resignation, Release & Buyback Agreement and a Resignation, Release & Buyback Agreement Addendum (“Repicci’s Agreements”) which was effective June 1, 2020.

The Repicci’s manager retained 37,500 shares of Preferred H shares subject to the terms of the Repicci’s Agreements. There was a gain on disposal in the amount of $216,013 in June 2020.

The Company and the Romeo’s manager have entered into a Resignation, Release & Buyback Agreement and a Resignation, Release & Buyback Agreement Addendum (“Romeo Agreements”) which is effective July 1, 2020.

Overview

Cardiff Lexington Corp. is a holding company with no stand-alone operations and no material assets other than its ownership interest in its subsidiaries. All of the Company's operations are conducted through, and its income derived from, its various subsidiaries, which are organized and operated according to the laws of their jurisdiction of incorporation, and consolidated by the Company.

To date, Cardiff consists of the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

We Three, LLC, d/b/a Affordable Housing Initiative (“AHI”), which we acquired on May 15, 2014, is an affordable home acquirer located in Maryville, Tennessee, which acquirers’ mobile homes and mobile home parks and either sells them or rents the homes to individual families. The acquisition of mobile homes or mobile home parks allows AHI to provide an alternative to traditional housing, which is a popular option for a homeowner wishing to avoid large down payments, expensive maintenance costs, monthly mortgage payments and high property taxes. The typical arrangement with potential buyers is a lease-to-own arrangement on an individual home. The fundamentals of that arrangement obligate the tenant(s) to the terms of the lease with AHI retaining ownership. In addition, the tenant(s) pay non-refundable option monies prior to the start of the lease. This option consideration enables them to purchase the home at the end of the lease if they choose. A typical lease is 7 years. We have found that most tenants move out before the end of that period and thus never satisfy the terms that would enable them to purchase the home.

Edge View Properties, Inc. (“Edge View”), which we acquired on July 16, 2014, is a real estate company that owns 30 acres of land; 23.5 acres zoned MDR (Medium Density Residential) with 12 lots already platted and 48 lots zoned HDR (High Density Residential), 4 acres of dedicated river front property zoned for recreation on the Salmon River, Idaho’s premier whitewater river and 2.5 acres zoned for commercial use. All the land is in the city limits of Salmon and adjacent to the Frank church Wilderness Park (the largest wilderness park in the lower 48 states). Edge View’s plan is to enter into a joint venture agreement with a developer for construction of single-family homes on the property. The Company has yet to enter into a joint venture agreement for the development of single-family homes.

Platinum Tax Defenders, LLC (“Platinum Tax”), which we acquired on July 31, 2018, is a full-service tax resolution firm located in Los Angeles, CA. Since 2011, Platinum Tax has been assisting all types of taxpayers resolve any and all issues with IRS and applicable state tax agencies. Platinum Tax provides fee-based tax resolution services to individuals and companies that have federal and state tax liabilities by assisting its clients to settle outstanding tax debts. Specifically, the Platinum Tax teams tax relief services include but are not limited to, back taxes, offer in compromise, audit representation, amending tax returns, tax preparation, tax resolution, wage garnishment relief, removal of bank levies and liens, bookkeeping, and other financial challenges. Platinum Tax has a team of 28 which includes tax attorneys, accountants, and enrolled agents that have an aggregate of more than 90 years of experience in the financial services industry and have resolved tax issues for thousands of clients.

JM Enterprises 1, Inc. (DBA) Key Tax Group (“Key Tax”), which we acquired on May 13, 2019, is a full-service tax resolution firm located in Jacksonville, FL. Key Tax assists businesses and individuals around the nation with tax debt issues. Key Tax has a team of twelve members, including tax lawyers, enrolled agents, and support staff with an aggregate of more than 35 years of experience in the tax industry, who are well versed in both the accounting portion of tax debt as well as the resolution side with substantial experienced in working successfully with revenue officers and collectors.

Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak

The Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year 2020 is being adversely affected and is expected to continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including prohibitions on congregating in heavily populated areas and shelter-in-place orders or similar measures. As a result, we have during periods of 2020 temporarily closed certain of our operations for several months. All operations are now open and operating. Our results will be adversely impacted by these closures and other actions taken to contain or treat the impact of COVID-19, and the extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, client enrollment has been at a slower pace at certain of our tax resolution subsidiary companies than initially expected. In addition, during 2020 certain of our tax resolution subsidiaries have temporarily suspended enrollment due to facility closures, quarantine, travel restrictions and other governmental restrictions. As a result, we expect the performance from our tax resolution subsidiaries to be affected, which we expect will have a material adverse impact on their market share growth plans and timelines. Additionally, we have taken certain measures to account for the ongoing significant negative impact of the pandemic, including divestiture of our holdings in the food services sector. These businesses no longer fit within our longer-term strategy and given their impact from COVID-19 for these companies to remain subsidiaries of a public entity exerts additional and unnecessary cost and pressure. While COVID-19 changed the trajectory of that growth, we are planning to get back on track quickly with the acquisition and we remain committed to making the investments necessary to drive long term company growth.

The extent to which COVID-19 or any other health epidemic may impact the Company’s results for 2020 and beyond will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects during 2020 and beyond.

Revenues were $931,926 and $960,726 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively a decrease of $28,800 or 3%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the financial services segment. We believe the significant increase in unemployment directly affected our subsidiaries prospect and customer base and reduced their ability to afford our services.

Cost of sales were $491,955 and $431,619 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a increase of $60,336 or 14%. The increase is primarily attributable to increase in contract labor due to its flexibility necessary to match costs with the fluctuation in revenues.

Gross margins were $439,971 and $529,107 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively a decrease of $89,136 or 17%. The decrease is primarily due to lower revenues and higher costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic as described above.

Operating expenses were $815,818 and $763,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $52,469 or 6.9%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in professional fees.

The Company has been affected by the economic pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent directives and responses to this crisis taken by the federal, state, and local government. Several of our subsidiaries have been hard-hit by the pandemic. We were able to secure Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans to offset the reduction in revenues and profitability.

Furthermore, the stock market has been severely adversely impacted with our stock price experiencing a period of high volatility. In light of current circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company as a public reporting company must evaluate what we should and are obligated to do in order to protect shareholders from the negative effects of this pandemic. In order to adequately sustain funding for 2020 operations and continue our growth through acquisitions the Board Of Directors have initiated a reverse stock split of 10,000:1 which became effective May 2020.

The Company raised $103,000 in convertible notes and $347,050 in SBA and PPP loans. Also, the Company entered into an agreement on April 29, 2020 engaging an exclusive financial advisor in connection with a transaction or related series or combination of transactions involving a merger, share capital exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. The advisor is a boutique investment bank created by experienced professionals that have worked together for over a decade, collectively financing over $50 billion of public and private capital raises, restructurings, and mergers and acquisitions. The term of the agreement is 1 year and the fees include shares of common stock and out-of-pocket expenses as defined in the agreement. Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement August 26, 2020 with the same firm to underwrite a registered public offering. The term of the agreement is the earlier of the consummation of the offering or 1 year and fees include cash and equity as defined in the agreement.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation will negatively impact our business plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, the principal sources of cash have been funds raised from the sale of common stock, advances from shareholders, and loans in the form of debenture convertible notes and conventional notes payable. At March 31, 2021, we had $510,760 in cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $5, 161,138 and total liabilities of $12,960,228.

Net cash used in operating activities was $233,049 and $70,189 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The negative cash flows from operating activities during the periods were primarily attributable to the net losses of $1,598,365 and $5,052,479. These amounts were partially offset by amortization of debt discount of $454,958 and $246,185, respectively and change in derivative liability related to convertible notes of $376,874 and $4,467,534, respectively, and warrant amortization $260,443 and $0, respectively. The change in value of derivative liability is due primarily to a reduction in the stock price used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $440,400 and $73,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in financing activities during the periods were primarily attributable to proceeds from convertible notes of $103,500 and SBA loans of $345,269 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to proceeds from convertible notes of $150,000 for the same period in 2020.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to us. Should we be unable to raise sufficient funds, we may be required to curtail our operating plans and possibly relinquish rights to portions of our technology or services provided. In addition, increases in expenses may adversely impact our cash position and may require cost reductions. No assurance can be given that we will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future.

In order to continue our operations and implementation of our business plan, we need additional financing. We are currently attempting to obtain additional working capital in an equity transaction.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
