1 – Organization and Operations
History
On
March 13, 2015, Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc. (the Company) (f/k/a Type 1 Media, Inc.) closed on a merger and share exchange
agreement by and among (i) the Company, and (ii) Diego Pellicer World-wide 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Diego”),
and (iii) Jonathan White, the majority shareholder of the Company. Diego was merged with and into the Company with the Company
to continue as the surviving corporation in the merger.
Business
Operations
The
Company leases real estate to licensed marijuana operators, providing complete turnkey growing space, processing space, recreational
and medical retail sales space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers, processors, dispensary and recreational store
operators. Additionally, the Company plans to explore ancillary opportunities in the regulated marijuana industry, as well as
offering for wholesale distribution branded non-marijuana clothing and accessories.
The
properties generating rents in 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
| Purpose |

The
Company’s two properties in Denver, CO are leased to Royal Asset Management, LLC (“RAM”). RAM opened the Diego
Denver branded flagship store in February 2017. This store is known as “Diego Colorado”. The retail facilities have
shown steady growth in sales since opening. For the two properties subleased, RAM uses these properties for its cultivation facilities
in Denver, CO. Production at these facilities began in late 2016. On July 27, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against Royal
Asset Management, LLC (“RAM”) and Neil Demers (“Demers”) in the District Court, City and County of Denver,
State of Colorado, alleging breach of contract on four subleases for which RAM has failed to make the required payments to the
Company pursuant to the respective sublease agreements (see Note 4).
In
August 2021, the master lease and sublease associated with the 14,800 sq. cultivation warehouse were extended through July 31,
2024 (see Note 9). On June 6, 2022, the Company, the lessor and the sublessee entered into termination agreements to terminate
the master lease and the sublease for the cultivation warehouse property. The termination agreements were conditioned upon the
closing of the sublessee’s sale of its assets at the location. The closing occurred in September 2022. Upon closing, the Company received $650,000 from the sublessee, in settlement of past deferred rents and
receivables of $377,568 and $272,432 in future rents and fees.
Note
2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices
The
management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and for the appropriateness
of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important
to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most
difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are
inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below, as required
by generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and presented in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
The
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements,
but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of
management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all
material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements
not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future periods.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
financial statements include the accounts of Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Diego Pellicer World-wide
1, Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities and derivative financial instruments issued
in financing transactions and share based payment arrangements, the collectability of accounts receivable and other receivables
(see Note 4), valuation of right of use assets and lease liabilities and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances.
Certain
estimates, including evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable and notes receivable, could be affected by external
conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors
could influence our estimates and could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company intends to re-evaluate
all its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable consist of rents receivable from the Company’s sublessee as disclosed in Note 4. Management periodically assesses
the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts
determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require
collateral. We have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify
as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument
is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported
in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities
are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument
could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
As
required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair
value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
Level
2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level
3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable
(supported by little or no market activity).
Fair
value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as
of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated
their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, notes receivable, accounts
payable and notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash, receivables, notes receivable, payables
and notes payable because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable
on demand.
The
following table reflects assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Derivative
liabilities and stock warrant liabilities were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model in calculating the embedded conversion
features for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.
Cash
The
Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, up to $250,000. The Company’s accounts at these
institutions may, at times, exceed the federal insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. There
were no uninsured balances at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Revenue
recognition
In
accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company recognizes rent income on a straight-line basis over the lease term to
the extent that collection is considered probable. As a result, the Company has been recognizing rents as they become payable.
During
the initial term of the lease, management has a policy of partial rent forbearance when the tenant first opens the facility to
assure that the tenant has the opportunity for success. Management may be required to exercise considerable judgment in estimating
revenue to be recognized.
When
management concludes that the Company is the owner of tenant improvements, the Company records the cost to construct the tenant
improvements as a capital asset. In addition, the Company records the cost of certain tenant improvements paid for or reimbursed
by tenants as capital assets when management concludes that the Company is the owner of such tenant improvements. For these tenant
improvements, the Company records the amount funded or reimbursed by tenants as deferred revenue, which is amortized as additional
rental income over the term of the related lease. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements
for accounting purposes, we record the Company’s contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is
amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The
Company analyzes its contracts to assess that they are within the scope and in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the appropriate
amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, whether for goods and
services or licensing, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract;
(ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in
the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv)
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue
when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
Leases
We
have elected the practical expedient provided by ASC 842 that allows lessees to choose to not separate lease and non-lease components
by class of underlying asset and are applying this expedient to all relevant asset classes. We have also elected the practical
expedient package to not reassess at adoption (i) expired or existing contracts for whether they are or contain a lease,
(ii) the lease classification of any existing leases or (iii) initial indirect costs for existing leases.
Advertising
Advertising
expense was $6,453 and $8,870 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was $19,389 and $26,679
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation
allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized and when, in the opinion
of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The computation
of limitations relating to the amount of such tax assets, and the determination of appropriate valuation allowances relating to
the realizing of such assets, are inherently complex and require the exercise of judgment. As additional information becomes available,
the Company continually assesses the carrying value of their net deferred tax assets.
Common
Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
The
Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of
net cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts
are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC Topic 815-40 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” The Company
classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement including a requirement to net cash settle
the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement
or settlement in shares. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives
at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The Company calculates
the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of our
common stock for common shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. The estimation
of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ
from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company
considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.
Income
(loss) per common share
The
Company utilizes ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. In accordance
with ASC 260, the basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that
the denominator is adjusted for the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities
were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of the diluted
loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company has 1,696,579,187 and 548,408,152 common stock equivalents
at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, these potential shares were excluded
from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share. There are 840,000,000
shares authorized resulting in 1,117,912,113 insufficient shares as of September 30, 2022. Substantially all of these excess shares
are included in the derivative liability calculations for convertible notes payable and warrants and are therefore accounted for
at fair value.
Legal
and regulatory environment
The
cannabis industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations
include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, and different taxation between federal and state. Federal
government activity may increase in the future with respect to companies involved in the cannabis industry concerning possible
violations of federal statutes and regulations.
Management
believes that the Company is in compliance with local, state and federal regulations and, while no regulatory inquiries have been
made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory
actions unknown or unasserted at this time.
Recent
accounting pronouncements.
The
Company believes recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in
the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial
position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.
Note
3 – Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
incurred losses since inception, its current liabilities exceed its current assets by $10,831,194 at September 30, 2022, and it
has an accumulated deficit of $54,816,650 at September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern over the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
The
Company believes that it has sufficient cash on hand and cash generated by real estate leases to sustain operations provided that
management and board members continue to agree to be paid company stock in exchange for accrued compensation. There are other
future noncash charges in connection with financings such as a change in derivative liability that will affect income but have
no effect on cash flow.
Although
the Company has been successful raising additional capital, there is no assurance that the company will sell additional shares
of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to raise additional cash could have a material adverse effect
on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management believes that the Company’s future
success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional
financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares
of stock or borrow additional funds. However, cash generated from lease revenues is currently exceeding lease costs, but is insufficient
to cover operating expenses.
Note
4 – Accounts Receivables and Other Receivables
As
disclosed in Note 1, the Company subleases one property in Colorado to Royal Asset Management at September 30, 2022. One sublease
was terminated in September, 2022. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding receivables from the
subleases totaling $652,630 and $598,667, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
the Company’s subleases with RAM accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenues.
In
addition to the receivables from the subleases, the Company has agreed to provide RAM and affiliates of RAM up to an aggregate
amount of $1,030,000 in financing. These notes accrue interest at the rates ranging from 12% to 18% per annum. As of September
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of these notes receivable total $665,331 and $620,781, respectively, including
accrued interest of $335,331 and $290,781, respectively. A note of $400,000 was personally guaranteed by the managing member of
RAM. Our position was subordinate to the CEO’s note described in Note 5. We have recorded interest income of $14,850 and
$14,850 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have recorded interest income of $44,550 and
$69,279 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In April 2021, we received a payment of $400,000
of note principal and $93,770 of related accrued interest.
On
September 9, 2020, we closed on a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated September 4, 2020, and obtained the right to acquire
a 15.13% membership interest in Blue Bronco, LLC. The purchase of the 15.13% interest in Blue Bronco LLC is subject to the approval
of the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division. Necessary approval by governing authorities is expected to be received in the
fourth quarter of 2022 or first quarter of 2023, pending the resolution of a lawsuit between the RAM and other parties related
to the transaction. Accrued interest receivable of approximately $68,000 will be applied to the purchase of the membership interest
upon approval of the purchase by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division.
Lease
Termination September 2022
On
June 6, 2022, the Company, the lessor and the sublessee entered into termination agreements to terminate the master lease
and the sublease for the 14,800
square foot cultivation warehouse property. The termination agreements were conditioned upon the closing of the
sublessee’s sale of its assets at the location. The closing occurred in September 2022. Upon closing, the Company
received $650,000 from the sublessee, in settlement of past deferred rents and receivables of $377,568 and $272,432 in future
rents and fees,
pursuant to the Sublease Termination Agreement with RAM.
Lease
Termination October 2020
On
October 1, 2020, the master and sublease associated with the 18,600 sq. cultivation warehouse in Denver were terminated. In connection
with that termination, we entered into a Sublease Termination Agreement (“Termination Agreement”) with RAM and an
affiliate of RAM Venture Product Consulting, LLC (“VPC”). Pursuant to this agreement, RAM acknowledged a debt of deferred
rent to the Company in the amount of $1,418,480 and VPC acknowledged a debt of deferred rent to the Company in the amount of $64,344.
RAM and VPC executed promissory notes for these amounts, respectively. The notes accrue interest on the unpaid balance at a rate
equal to the Applicable Federal Rate for mid-term obligations as published by the Internal Revenue Service. No payment under the
promissory notes will be due to the Company until the earlier of (i) the date on which RAM and the Company consummate a change
of control event, which is defined as: the acquisition of RAM by the Company or an affiliated entity by means of any transaction
or series of related transactions to which RAM is a party (including, without limitation, any membership interest acquisition,
reorganization, merger or consolidation, (generally, a “Merger”), or, (ii) the date one (1) business day following
the earlier of (x) at any time, receipt by the Company from RAM or VPC of a written notice stating such party no longer desires
to pursue the Merger, or (y) beginning eighteen (18) months after the date of this Agreement, receipt by RAM or VPC from the Company
of a written notice stating that the Company no longer desires to pursue the Merger (the “Maturity Date”).
We
have recorded the promissory notes as long term notes receivable of $1,482,824 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Due to
the uncertainty of the collectability, we have also recorded a long term deferred credit in the same amount. We will record income
under the deferred rent notes as payments are received or deemed collectible. This asset and related credit have been netted on
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Additionally,
in connection with the termination of the sublease, RAM will continue to pay the remaining future sublease premium payments due
to the company on the Denver sublease (the “Future Rent Debt”) beginning on the termination date, and until the earlier
of the Maturity Date or June 30, 2024, notwithstanding the termination of the Subleases. However, no payment under the Future
Rent Debt agreement will be due to the Company until the Maturity Date, at which time the entire Future Rent Debt shall be due
and payable in full, except for any month in which RAM earns $725,000 of gross sales revenue, including taxes, at its Alameda
location, in which case RAM shall pay the Future Rent Debt for the following month to the Company on or before the 5th day of
the following month, and such amount will not accrue as a Future Rent Debt. RAM shall continue to accrue debt to the company,
assessed on the first day of each month, according to the schedule below:
| Monthly
Payments Accrued | |
| |
| October 1, 2020 to June 30,
2021 | |
$ | 11,284 | |
| July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 | |
| 11,622 | |
| July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 | |
| 11,971 | |
| July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 | |
| 12,330 | |
We
will record income pursuant to the Future Rent Debt as payments are received based on the Company’s analysis of collectability
including, but not limited to, the potential application toward the purchase price. We have recorded $35,913 and $33,851 as Lease
Termination Payments in the Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and
$105,645 and $101,554 as Lease Termination Payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Notes
Receivable
During
2022 and 2021, the Company entered into four promissory notes with an unrelated party, aggregating $244,000 (see Note 9). The
notes all mature 11 months after issuance and have an effective interest rate of 8.33%. Payments of principal and interest are
due monthly, beginning 30 days after the date of issuance. Principal repayments of $67,238 were received during the nine months
ended September 30, 2022. Payments on the notes are in arrears at September 30, 2022, and we have recorded an allowance for uncollectable
notes receivables of $82,781 at September 30, 2022.
Note
5 – Related Party Transactions
As
of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has accrued compensation to its CEO and director and to its CFO aggregating
$325,689 and $263,289, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accrued payable due to former officers was
$901,986 and $946,986, respectively. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, total cash-based compensation
to related parties was $270,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, total share-based compensation to related
parties was $5,040 and $70,811, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, total share-based compensation
to related parties was $18,264 and $156,465, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in
the accompanying financial statements.
From
2017 to 2019, Mr. Gonfiantini, CEO, personally and through his Company, Crystal Bay Financial LLC, loaned an aggregate amount
of $1,020,000 to Royal Asset Management. These notes accrued interest at 17% - 18% per annum, and required monthly payments of
approximately $5,000 to $20,000. These notes were personally guaranteed by the managing member of Royal Asset Management, and
were secured by certain equipment and other tangible properties of Royal Asset Management. Among these notes, $500,000 was also
secured by the medical marijuana licenses held by Royal Asset Management. As of October 20, 2021 these notes were fully paid by
Royal Asset Management and the security was released.
At
September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company owed Mr. Throgmartin, former CEO (See Note 9), $140,958 pursuant to a promissory
note dated August 12, 2016. This note accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum and was past the maturity date, however the
Company has not yet received a default notice. The balance of related party note was $140,958 at September 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021 and accrued interest on the note was $69,112 and $60,677 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The
Company leases its office space from an entity controlled by its CEO. The lease may be terminated by either party with 30 days’
notice. Rent expense pursuant to the lease was $4,500 for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and
was $13,500 for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Note
6 – Notes Payable
On
August 31, 2015, the Company issued a note in the amount of $126,000 to a third party for use as operating capital. The note was
amended to include accrued interest on October 31, 2016 and extend the maturity date to October 31, 2018. As of September 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding principal balance of the note was $133,403, and accrued interest on the note was $81,760
and $76,772 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 the note was past the maturity

Note
7 – Convertible Notes Payable
The
Company has issued several convertible notes which are outstanding. The note holders have the right to convert principal and accrued
interest outstanding into shares of common stock at a discounted price to the market price of our common stock. The conversion
features were recognized as embedded derivatives and are valued using a Binomial Option Pricing Model that resulted in a derivative
liability of $5,432,165 and $2,733,803 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The notes accrue interest at
8% - 10% and the majority of the notes had matured at September 30, 2022.
Several
convertible note holders elected to convert their notes to stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The tables below
provide the note payable activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and also a reconciliation of the beginning
and ending balances for the derivative liabilities measured using fair significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine
months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into four convertible promissory notes with an investor in the aggregate
amount of $660,000, and received aggregate proceeds of $620,000, after deducting OID and costs. The notes mature one year from
issue and bear interest at 8% per year. Upon a default, the holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time following
an event of default, and ending on the date of payment of the default amount (as defined), to convert all or any part of the outstanding
and unpaid principal, interest, penalties, and all other amounts under the notes into fully paid and non-assessable shares of
common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the three lowest trading prices of the Company common stock for the 15 trading
days immediately preceding the delivery of a notice of conversion resulting from such default, for two of the notes, and at 65%
of the lowest price for the preceding 15 days for the two other notes. The Company issued a total of 3,400,000 shares of common

8%, to Geneva Roth Remark Holdings, Inc. (“Geneva”), for $163,500 pursuant to a Series C Preferred Purchase Agreement
with Geneva. The Company may redeem the Series C Shares at various increased prices at time intervals up to the 6-month anniversary
of the closing and must redeem any outstanding shares on the 24-month anniversary. Geneva may convert the Series C Shares into
our common shares, commencing on the 6-month anniversary of the closing at a 25% discount to the public market price. The Company

9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The
Company leases property under operating leases. Property leases include retail and warehouse space with fixed rent payments and
lease terms ranging from three to five years. The Company is obligated to pay the lessor for maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance
and other operating expenses on certain property leases. These expenses are variable and are not included in the measurement of
the lease asset or lease liability. These expenses are recognized as variable lease expense when incurred.
In
August 2021, the master lease and sublease associated with the 14,800 sq. cultivation warehouse were extended through July
31, 2024. Monthly base rent payments range from $20,000
to $21,118.
Monthly sublease base rent payments range from $26,300
to $28,622.
On June 6, 2022, the Company, the lessor and the sublessee entered into termination agreements to terminate the master lease
and the sublease for the cultivation warehouse property. The termination agreements were conditioned upon the closing of the
sublessee’s sale of its assets at the location. The closing occurred in September 2022. Upon closing, the Company
received $650,000 from the sublessee, in settlement of past deferred rents and receivables of $377,568 and $272,432
in future rents and fees.
The
Company records the lease asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The leases typically
do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the time of lease commencement
to discount the present value of lease payments. The Company’s discount rate for operating leases at September 30, 2022
was 12%. Leases often include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the
determination of lease payments when appropriate. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term to
the extent that collection is considered probable. As a result the Company has been recognizing rents as they become payable.
Our remaining lease term is 2.42 years.
As
of September 30, 2022, the maturities of operating leases liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

and the plaintiff is seeking actual and compensatory damages. No specific monetary amount was demanded in the lawsuit. On July
8, 2021, the Company filed an answer to the complaint, denying the allegations. The proceedings are ongoing and the Company believes
that the suit is without merit and that it will ultimately prevail in any litigation.

July 27, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against Royal Asset Management, LLC (“RAM”) and Neil Demers (“Demers”)
in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, alleging breach of contract on subleases for which RAM has
failed to make the required payments to the Company pursuant to the respective sublease agreements. The alleged damages under
the sublease terms and other ancillary agreements amount to $1,480,881, $377,568, $1,027,635, and $1,418,480, respectively. In addition, the lawsuit alleges that RAM failed to make payments pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”)
in which the Company and RAM entered into on April 3, 2018. The Note was for the principal amount of $330,000 with interest at
18% per annum. The Note had a maturity date of April 2, 2019. The lawsuit seeks payment from RAM and Demers
for the total balance due on the Note of $330,000 plus the interest due therein. On October 8, 2021, RAM and Demers filed a joint
answer to the lawsuit.
On
June 6, 2022, the Company, the lessor and RAM entered into termination agreements to terminate the master lease and the sublease
for the cultivation warehouse property. The termination agreements were conditioned upon the closing of the sublessee’s sale
of its assets at the location. The closing occurred in September 2022. Upon closing, the Company received $650,000 from RAM, in
settlement of the past $377,568 in deferred rents and receivables on the claim listed above and $272,432 in future rents and fees.
On
August 15, 2022 the Company filed with the court an expert report to include damages in the amount of $3,086,416 caused by the
finance costs related to the breach of contracts by RAM and financing activities. The trial date has been set for November 28,
2022
Equity
Purchase Agreement
On
February 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Hemp Choice
Distribution, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“HCD”), its owners (the “Sellers”), and Gabriela
Vergara (the “Sellers’ Representative”), pursuant to which Purchaser has agreed to acquire all of the issued

COVID-19
On
January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency in response to a new strain
of a coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic
based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date
of this report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effects on the Company’s industry, financial
condition, liquidity, and operations. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its
spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition,
or liquidity for fiscal year 2022. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2022.
