ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

CannaVEST Corp. (formerly Foreclosure Solutions, Inc.) (the "Company") was incorporated on December 9, 2010, in the state of Texas, to provide information on pre-foreclosure and foreclosed residential properties to homebuyers and real estate professionals on its website. However, they were not able to secure financing for this business plan and on November 16, 2012 the stockholders owning 6,979,900 of the outstanding shares sold their shares in private transactions to four buyers. Commensurate with this transaction the former officer and director resigned and control of the Company changed. In addition, the Company's business offices moved from Dallas, Texas to Las Vegas, Nevada. On January 29, 2013, the Company amended its Certificate of Formation to change its name to CannaVEST Corp. and on March 14, 2013, the Company increased the size of its board of directors and elected three independent directors.

 

On December 15, 2012, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale of Assets Agreement (the "Agreement") with Phytosphere whereby upon the closing of the transaction the Company was to acquire certain assets of PSS in exchange for an aggregate payment of $35,000,000 in five installments of either cash or common stock shares, as determined in the Company's sole discretion. The closing occurred on January 29, 2013 at which time the Company began to take delivery of the acquired assets and made its first installment payment in the amount of $4,500,000 by issuing 900,000 common stock shares with a quoted market price on that date of $5.00. On April 1, 2013, the Company made its second installment payment in the amount of $6,000,000 by issuing 1,000,000 common stock shares with a quoted market price on that date of $6.00. The remaining installments are due on or before June 20, 2013, September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013 in the amounts of $8,000,000, $10,000,000 and $6,500,000, respectively.

 

The Company's new business is that of developing, producing, marketing and selling end consumer products to the nutriceutical industry containing hemp plant extract, Cannabidoil (CBD) and reselling to third parties raw product acquired by the Company pursuant to its supply relationships in Europe.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All references to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) are in accordance with The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed to SEC on Form 10-K. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013.

 

 

CANNAVEST CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers amounts held by financial institutions and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company have no cash equivalents.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provides insurance coverage of up to $250,000 per depositor per bank. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe that the Company is exposed to significant risks from excess deposits.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consists of trade accounts arising in the normal course of business. No interest is charged on past due accounts. Accounts for which no payments have been received after 30 days are considered delinquent and customary collection efforts are initiated. Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less a reserve made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis.

 

Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition and credit history, and current economic conditions. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with ASC and SEC guidance which requires persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of a product or service, a fixed or determinable price and assurance of collection within a reasonable period of time.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on average cost basis. There was no reserve for inventory at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives. Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the historically recorded asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to other income / expense.

 

 

CANNAVEST CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and include this additional information in the notes to its financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company's current assets and current liabilities approximates their carrying amount due to their readily available nature and short maturity.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company’s adoption of fair value measurements and disclosures did not have a material impact on the financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill.

 

We make critical assumptions and estimates in completing impairment assessments of goodwill and other intangible assets. Our cash flow projections look several years into the future and include assumptions on variables such as future sales and operating margin growth rates, economic conditions, market competition, inflation and discount rates. A 10% decrease in the estimated discounted cash flows for the reporting units tested would result in an impairment that is not material to our results of operations. A 1.0 percentage point increase in the discount rate used would also result in an impairment that is not material to our results of operations.

 

 

CANNAVEST CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

We amortize the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to ten years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested in the third quarter of each fiscal year for impairment, or more often if indicators warrant.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company calculates earning or loss per share (EPS) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted. Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common stock shares outstanding during the period. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 4,500,000 of potentially dilutive common stock shares.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the related temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized when the rate change is enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the effect of uncertain income tax positions only if the positions are more likely than not of being sustained in an audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized uncertain income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which those changes in judgment occur. The Company recognized both interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision.

 

Recent Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Adopted

 

Effective January 2013, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.

 

Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this update did not have a material

impact on the financial statements.

 

Effective January 2013, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB's deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

 

CANNAVEST CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Not Adopted

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The amendments in ASU 2013-04 provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this Update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this Update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendment in this standard is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 will have on our financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

 

3.

ACQUISITION OF ASSETS OF PHYTOSPHERE SYSTEMS, LLC

 

On December 31, 2012, we entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Phytosphere Systems, LLC whereby the Company acquired certain assets of Phytosphere in exchange for an aggregate payment of $35,000,000, payable in five (5) installments of either cash or common stock of the Company, in the sole discretion of the Company. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement occurred on January 29, 2013. At the closing, the Company issued to Phytosphere 900,000 shares of common stock in satisfaction of its first payment obligation due under the Purchase Agreement. On April 4, 2013, the Company issued to Phytosphere 1,000,000 shares of its common stock in satisfaction of its second payment obligation due under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Since after the Merger former holders of SGT’s common stock owned in excess of 50% of our fully-diluted shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of our executive management are members of SGT’s management, SGT is deemed to be the acquiring company and we are deemed to be the legal acquirer for accounting purposes, and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of GrowLife and its subsidiaries reflect the historical activity of SGT, and the historical stockholders’ equity of SGT has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the exchange after giving effect to the differences in par value offset to additional paid-in capital. In connection with the Merger Agreement, we are deemed to have issued an additional 152,343,383 shares of common stock to our stockholders existing prior to the Merger.

 

4.

INVESTMENT IN KANNALIFE SCIENCES, INC.

 

On March 4 and April 11, 2013, pursuant to a Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), the Company acquired a total of 2,039,626 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 11,960,000 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase the same shares in KLS, a Delaware corporation and phyto-medical company specializing in the research and development of pharmacological products derived from plants.

The Company intends to exercise its right to these additional closings, so it will then own and hold 33.3% of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. The Company paid the first installment of $250,000 as of March 31, 2013.

The differences between the expected income tax benefit and the actual recorded income tax benefit computed using a statutory federal rate of 35% is as follows.

 

		Years Ended December 31,				Years Ended December 31,
		2012				2012
Income tax benefit at statutory 35% rate		$	(15,964	)		$	(31,563	)
Change in valuation allowance			15,964				31,563
Income tax benefit		$	–			$	–

 

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for significant income and expense items recognized in different years for tax and financial reporting purposes. The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible profits. At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the net operating losses in future periods. 

 

Tax benefit from NOL carry forward		$	50,476			$	34,512
Less valuation allowance			(50,476	)			(34,512	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	–			$	–

 

The Company has not filed tax returns since its inception but, because of its operating losses, management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant risk of penalty or forfeiture of operating loss carry forwards.

 

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We are in the business of developing, producing, marketing and selling end consumer products to the nutriceutical industry containing the hemp plant extract, Cannabidoil (“CBD”), and reselling to third parties raw product acquired by us pursuant to our supply relationships in Europe. We seek to take advantage of an emerging worldwide trend to re-energize the production of industrial hemp and to foster its many uses for consumers. CBD is derived from hemp stalk and seed.

 

To date, our operations have consisted of supplying our raw product to third parties. We anticipate launching our first product to large commercial buyers in the second quarter of 2013, and having products on the market available to consumers shortly thereafter. Our line of products is expected to grow throughout the year – by year end 2013 we anticipate a full line of CBD and hemp-related consumer products.

 

In order to accomplish our business plan, we will need finalize the development of our products and implement a marketing and sales program designed to establish brand awareness and consumer acceptance of our products. To date, the sole source of our working capital has been a line of credit of up to $2,000,000 from Roen Ventures, LLC. In addition, we expect to realize revenue to fund our working capital needs through the sale of raw product to third parties. However, we cannot be assured that our working capital needs to develop, launch, market and sell our products will be met through the sale of raw product to third parties and the Roen Ventures line of credit. If not, we may never be able to achieve profitable operations. In that event, our ability to continue as a going concern would be in jeopardy and investors could lose all of their investment in the Company.

 

Going Concern

 

We have not generated revenues since our inception, although we have sold and shipped raw product to third parties for which we have yet to receive payment. Our revenues alone are insufficient to pay our operating expenses and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our current and future liabilities when they become due until such time, if ever, that we are able to generate sufficient revenues to attain profitable operations. We have experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for fiscal year end 2013 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern [confirm]. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In that event, we may be forced to cease operations and our stockholders could lose their entire investment in the Company.

 

 

 

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable to a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K.

 

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our management, which is comprised of one person holding the offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at a reasonable assurance level, as of the Evaluation Date, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under that Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective in that there was a material weakness as of March 31, 2013.

 

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

 

The Company’s management has identified a material weakness in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting related to a shortage of resources in the accounting department required to assure appropriate segregation of duties with employees having appropriate accounting qualifications related to the Company’s unique industry accounting and disclosure rules.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during our the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
