Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
On November 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell a 70% Membership Interest for the aggregate sales price of One Million Five Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty-Seven and no/100 United States Dollars ($1,523,767) in the following manner: (i) Four Hundred Ninety-Two Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Seven and 30/100 United States Dollars ($492,227), to be paid in cash; and (ii) One Million Thirty-One Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Nine and 70/100 United States Dollars ($1,031,539), in the form of retirement of the loans extended by the Buyer as designated by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, including applicable interest, default interest, late charges, and other obligations accrued in respect thereof. The Agreement also contained an option to purchase an additional 10% interest within 18 months. The option has subsequently been extended to November 22, 2020. Post sale, the Company retains 30% equity investment in MA & Associates LLC. The Company sold the remaining 10% equity interest from the November 22, 2017 on June 30, 2020. Membership Interest Agreement in MA & Associates for an aggregate total of $226,388. The total amount was in the form of retirement of the loans extended by the Buyer as designated by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, including applicable interest, default interest, late charges, and other obligations accrued. The Company still maintains a 20% equity interest in MA & Associates.
The Company entered the pharmaceutical testing laboratory market with their acquisitions of MA & Associates, LLC (“MA”) which will operate pharmaceutical testing laboratories in Nevada, and Harris Lee Holdings, LLC which will operate pharmaceutical testing laboratories within other states, or license testing protocols as independently owned laboratories. These pharmaceutical testing laboratories focus on providing quality control services to the medical cannabis industry. The mission is to protect the public health by providing infrastructure and analytical services to legally-authorized cannabis producers and distributors as well as to regulators. States that have legalized cannabis are developing cannabis health and safety criteria that we will fulfill through their testing laboratories. Harris Lee Holdings, LLC, due to Colorado residency requirements, entered into an advisory agreement with Harris Lee Colorado, LLC, a related party. Harris Lee Holdings, LLC has sub-licensed the testing protocols to Harris Lee Colorado, LLC in exchange for management fees for each test conducted. The Colorado MED approved the transfer of management of an existing laboratory, operating as Steep Hill Colorado, to Harris Lee Colorado, LLC (a related party) and Harris Lee Holdings, LLC has derived management fees from Harris Lee Colorado, LLC in the year ending December 31, 2016. However, because of the failure to transfer the MED license to Harris Lee Colorado, LLC, the Denver laboratory was closed by the end 2016. The Company does not expect to re-commence operations. MA, a cannabis testing laboratory in Las Vegas Nevada, officially opened for business in October 2018. It took its first revenue in December of 2018. Furthermore, the company passed its ISO 17025 accreditation and received its ISO Laboratory Certification in September of 2019. MA also passed its annual rigorous inspection by the State of Nevada’s team of State inspectors in November of 2019. Operational ramp up took longer than expected but as of now the lab is fully staffed and operational and is fully licensed to accept both recreational and medical cannabis samples for testing in Nevada. The Company currently owns a 20% equity stake in MA & Associates.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Pazoo, Inc. ("Pazoo" or the "Company") These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
In March 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split") whereby every one hundred (100) shares of outstanding common stock decreased to one (1) share of common stock. Similarly, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 ("Common Stock") into which each outstanding Preferred stock, convertible debt and warrant to purchase common stock is to be exercisable decreased on a 1-for-100 basis and the exercise price of each outstanding preferred stock and warrant to purchase common stock increased proportionately. The impact of this reverse stock split has been retroactively applied to the financial statements and the related notes and all debt terms were also adjusted/effected.
In January 2017, the Company filed a Form 14-C in order to effectuate a 1-for-250 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split") whereby every two hundred and fifty (250 shares of outstanding common stock decreases to one (1) share of common stock). As of April 2017, the 1-for-250 reverse stock split was effectuated.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with GAAP the preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the financial statements.
Fixed Asset
Fixed assets are presented at cost at the date of acquisition. Depreciation and amortization is calculated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset, a portion of which is allocated to cost of sales. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company's intangible assets and fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset.
The Company, due to the uncertainties surrounding the license agreement, impaired 100% of the value of the Steep Hill Labs licenses due to the purported unsubstantiated termination of the license agreements in June 2016 between Steep Hill Labs and MA & Associates, LLC and Harris Lee, LLC prior to the deconsolidation and sale of the 70% ownership position in MA. The Company strongly believes that any attempted termination of the licenses on the part of Steep Hill Labs was ineffective for many reasons, including, without limitation, Steep Hill's failure to provide key deliverables including technology, scientific know-how and lab guidance. On July 6, 2016, the Company contested the improper attempted termination of the licenses which was based on no identifiable contractual justification, and to which Steep Hill has not formally responded.
Equity Method Investments
We apply the equity method of accounting to investments when we have significant influence, but not controlling interest in the investee. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income (loss) resulting from these investments is reported under the line item captioned “equity method investment (loss) income” in our Statements of Operations. The carrying value of our equity method investments is reported in equity method investments in the Balance Sheets. The Company’s equity method investments are reported at cost and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividend paid, if any. The Company classifies distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach on the Statements of Cash Flows. The Company assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. The only equity method investment at December 31, 2017 had a carrying value of $0.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of its other financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date.
Level 3: Inputs include management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument's valuation.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Derivative
The Company has certain convertible notes outstanding at December 31, 2017 and 2016 with variable conversion rates that qualify as derivatives that need to be separately accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". In addition, the Company did not have enough authorized shares for the full conversion of all convertible notes. Embedded derivatives satisfying certain criteria are recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date with the change in the fair value recorded as a gain or loss (see Note 10).
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based 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 re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We classify all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents.
Stock Based Compensation
ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments awarded to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, which may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company determines if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction is recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction is recognized as equity. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date, the performance completion date, or the contract date.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when evidence of an agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and goods have been delivered or services performed. Prior to the sale of MA, the Company was paid revenue from various advertising, cannabis testing, through MA & Associates, LLC and sales and distribution of non-controlled hemp products.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
We have net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits for these net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. To the extent that we will not realize a future tax benefit, a valuation allowance is established.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects, in addition to the weighted average number of common shares, the potential dilution if shares of convertible preferred stock and debt were converted into shares of common stock and a corresponding accrued 5% dividend, unless the effects of such exercises and conversions would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB under ASU 2016-09 issued new guidance which involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the new standard, income tax benefits and deficiencies are to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity should also recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. In regards to forfeitures, the entity may make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period, however early adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated the guidance to determine the Company's adoption method and the effect it will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and it is effective currently.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); Eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for non-public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in the ASU is permitted as early as the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position and results of operations and statements of cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 —Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The ASU requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued and if management's plans will alleviate that doubt. Management will be required to make this evaluation for both annual and interim reporting periods. The Company adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-16—Business Combinations, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The amendment eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2016. This guidance did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. This ASU permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has no revenue at this time.
In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718),” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for nonemployee share-based payments. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share-based payment transactions are significantly different. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2017-09). ASU 2017-09 clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact ASU 2017-09 will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not or are not believed to have a material impact on our present or future financial statements.
Note 2—GOING CONCERN
During 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred net losses of $3,544,617 and $8,795,474, respectively and had negative cash flows from operations of $904,987 and $928,085 respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $9,824,496. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow and raise additional capital to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately attain profitability. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow or raise additional capital in the new term, it could be forced to cease operations. The Company does not have sufficient capital for the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements.
The Company's liquidity is highly dependent on its ability to obtain additional capital in the near future. The Company's failure to raise new capital would impair its ability to both continue its current operations and could result in its failure to continue to operate as a going concern. Substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern may also create negative reactions to the price of the Company's common stock, and the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing in the future. The Company is currently exploring potential transactions. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company and on a timely basis, the Company will be required to wind down its operations through liquidation, bankruptcy, or a sale of its assets. In addition, to the extent additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, such securities may be sold at a discount from the market price of the Company's common stock. The issuance of these securities could also result in significant dilution to some or all of the Company's stockholders, depending on the terms of the transaction. Subsequent to December 31, 2017 the Company was able to raise funds in the total of $178,500, $150,00 of which was earmarked for public Company filings.
Note 3—ACQUISITIONS AND DECONSOLIDATION
MA & Associates, LLC
On April 8, 2014 the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with MA & Associates, LLC ("MA") under which the Company agreed to acquire a 40% equity interest in MA for two testing locations in exchange for a purchase price of $2,000,000 and 150,000 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock. MA was formed to become a cannabis testing laboratory within the State of Nevada. In 2014 and 2015, prior to the purchase of the remaining 60% and obtaining control as discussed below, the Company paid an aggregate of $1,321,419 of the cash portion and issued 100,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock.
During 2015, prior to taking control through the acquisition of the remaining 60% interest, the consideration paid was originally recorded as an equity method investment, and was subsequently impaired prior to entering into the second investment agreement noted below.
On June 3, 2015, the Company entered into a 2nd agreement to acquire the remaining 60% interest in MA for 1,000,000 shares of Series C preferred stock, valued at $1,000,000. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in accounting for a step-acquisition, the Company estimated the fair value of the previously held equity method investment at $667,666, resulting in a total purchase price of approximately $1.7 million.
As of December 31, 2015 the Company was still obligated to pay the remaining portion under the original 40% investment agreement, consisting of $678,000 of cash and 50,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (valued at $35,000 as of December 31, 2016), totaling $713,581 and included in contingent consideration liability on the accompanying balance sheet.
ICPI, who is a related party, was entitled to 500,000 Series C shares as a commission for services related to the MA acquisition, of which 300,000 were issued during the year ended December 31, 2015 valued and expensed at $300,000. The remaining 200,000 shares will be issued upon achieving certain milestones in 2016. As of December 31, 2017, all remaining shares upon achieving certain milestones in 2016 were issued due to settlement to ICPI.
The Company, due to the uncertainties surrounding the license agreement, impaired 100% of the value of the Steep Hill Labs licenses due to the purported unsubstantiated termination of the license agreements in June 2016 between Steep Hill Labs and MA & Associates, LLC and Harris Lee, LLC respectively. The Company strongly believes that any attempted termination of the licenses on the part of Steep Hill Labs was ineffective for many reasons, including, without limitation, Steep Hill's failure to provide key deliverables including technology, scientific know-how and lab guidance.
On November 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with MA Analytics, LLC (the “Buyer”) to sell a 70% Membership Interest in MA & Associates, LLC for the aggregate sales price of One Million Five Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty-Seven and no/100 United States Dollars ($1,523,767) in the following manner: (i) Four Hundred Ninety-Two Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-Seven and 30/100 United States Dollars ($492,227), to be paid in cash; and (ii) One Million Thirty-One Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Nine and 70/100 United States Dollars ($1,031,539), in the form of retirement of the loans extended by the Buyer as designated by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, including applicable interest, default interest, late charges, and other obligations accrued in respect thereof. The Agreement also contained an option to purchase an additional 10% interest within 18 months. The option has subsequently been extended to November 22, 2020. Post sale, the Company retained a 30% equity investment in MA & Associates LLC. The Buyer exercised the option to purchase the additional 10% equity interest for an aggregate total of $226,388 on June 30, 2020. The total amount was in the form of retirement of the loans extended by the Buyer as designated by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, including applicable interest, default interest, late charges, and other obligations accrued. The Company still maintains a 20% equity interest in MA & Associates. The tables below show the assets and liabilities before the 70% equity sale, at the date of the sale, and after the sale.

The Series A Preferred Stock does not have voting rights and earns a Series A Preferred Stock dividend of 5% annually and has an expiration date of February 1, 2022. The Company shall pay the amount due on the Maturity Date in kind with shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issuable to a Holder on the Maturity Date (the "Maturity Shares") shall be equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate Liquidation Preference for such Holder's Shares on the Maturity Date divided by (y) the Conversion Price in effect as of the Maturity Date. On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the Maturity Date (the "Maturity Share Delivery Date"), the Company must deliver to each Holder the Maturity Shares issuable to such Holder. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, each Holder shall be entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of any Junior Stock, an amount (the "Liquidation Preference") equal to (A) $1,000 per Share held by such Holder, plus (B) a further amount equal to any Dividends accrued but unpaid on such Shares. If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution to the stockholders of the Company are insufficient to provide for the payment of the full aforesaid preferential amount, such assets as are so available shall be distributed among the Holders in proportion to the relative aggregate Liquidation Preferences of the Shares held by such Holders. The Liquidation Preference shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations.
The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations, does not pay a dividend, and contains preferential voting rights. On August 14, 2015 the Company filed a Definitive Information Statement with the SEC on Form 14C increased the voting rights from a ratio of 200 votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock to 1,000 votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock.

If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution to the stockholders of the Company are insufficient to provide for the payment of the full aforesaid preferential amount, such assets as are so available shall be distributed among the Holders in proportion to the relative aggregate Liquidation Preferences of the Shares held by such Holders. The Liquidation Preference shall be unaffected for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations.
The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible and has no voting rights and has an expiration date for redemption to February 1, 2022. The Company shall pay the amount due on the Maturity Date in kind with shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issuable to a Holder on the Maturity Date (the "Maturity Shares") shall be equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate Liquidation Preference for such Holder's Shares on the Maturity Date divided by (y) the Conversion Price in effect as of the Maturity Date. On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the Maturity Date (the "Maturity Share Delivery Date"), the Company must deliver to each Holder the Maturity Shares issuable to such Holder. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, each Holder shall be entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of any Junior Stock, an amount (the "Liquidation Preference") equal to (A) $0.001 per Share held by such Holder. If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution to the stockholders of the Company are insufficient to provide for the payment of the full aforesaid preferential amount, such assets as are so available shall be distributed among the Holders in proportion to the relative aggregate Liquidation Preferences of the Shares held by such Holders. The Liquidation Preference shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations.

Note 12—INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. During 2016 and 2017, the company incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $12,436,000 at December 31, 2017, and will expire in the years 2032 – 2035.
The Company has not yet filed its 2017 Federal Tax Return due to lack of financial resources. Therefore, the tax information below is as up to date as the Company can present it at this point in time and is subject to change.
Internal Revenue Section 382 restricts the ability to use these carryforwards whenever an ownership change as defined occurs. A change in ownership may be deemed to have occurred, which may limit the net operating loss carry forward value pursuant to Section 382 of the Tax Code.
At December 31, 2017, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:

The Global COVID-19 Pandemic Could Adversely Affect Our Business Operations. The Company, including its 30% equity investee, MA & Associates LLC, could be adversely affected by the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic in, among others, the following ways: (i) Travel and tourism disruptions in Nevada and specifically, Las Vegas, could affect the demand for cannabis which in turn could affect current efforts to ramp up operations and become cash flow positive; (ii) Cannabis, and cannabis derived products, could experience production interruptions due to infected workers that could in turn affect the demand for MA's testing services; (iii) If dispensaries are forced to close or scale back sales due to the pandemic, and/or experience disruptions in staffing, that could also disrupt MA's business and its ability to collect on accounts receivable; (iv) Any disruption in the supply chain of critical supplies needed to perform testing could interrupt the processing of test samples; and (v) In a highly regulated and specialized industry such as the testing of cannabis products, the extended absence of any key employee due to illness could cause a delay or suspension of testing. As of the date of this report, none of the aforementioned has occurred.
