PART I

Item 1. Business of the Company

Description of Historical Operations

Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company”, or the “Parent Company”) was incorporated in Texas on October 1, 1984 as Gibbs Construction, Inc. (“Gibbs”). The Company changed its name from Gibbs Construction, Inc. to Acacia Automotive, Inc. effective February 20, 2007, and subsequently changed its name again from Acacia Automotive, Inc. to Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc. effective October 18, 2012.

In the years following its incorporation, the Company grew to become a full service, national commercial construction company and completed an initial public offering of its common stock pursuant to a registration thereof on Form S-1 in January, 1996, and thereafter commenced trading on the NASDAQ Exchange under the symbol GBSE. In April, 2000, as a result of, in part, rising interest rates and a general decline in the United States economy, the Company was compelled to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Despite various attempts to reorganize the Company’s affairs within the context of the Company’s bankruptcy, it ultimately was unsuccessful.

Initial Restructuring of the Company

The Company being unable to reorganize through bankruptcy, on August 15, 2006, the Company’s primary creditor sold 4,000,000 shares, or 46,7% of its then-issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to Mr. Steven L. Sample, its current Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. In addition, Mr. Sample personally satisfied several outstanding obligations of the Company relating to professional fees associated with its S.E.C. reporting obligations. As consideration for Mr. Sample’s contribution, on February 1, 200, a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders effectuated a one (1) for eight (8) reverse stock split and thereafter issued Mr. Sample an additional 8,117,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, making him the majority shareholder of the Company. In connection therewith, the Company changed its name to Acacia Automotive Holdings, Inc and caused its trading symbol to be changed to “ACCA”. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Sample Mr. Sample exchanged all his preferred shares for an equal number of common shares of the Company and a number of warrants to purchase Common shares. There are no preferred shares issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2014,

In that restructuring the Company retained its substantial tax loss carryforward, which has grown to become approximately $12,940,000 as of December 31, 2014. (See NOTE 5 to Financial Statements – “Income Taxes”)

Immediately following the approval of these amendments, the Company adopted its Acacia Automotive, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, which was ratified by the Company’s stockholders in its Annual meeting held November 2007, initially reserving 1,000,000 shares thereunder. In subsequent actions, the shareholders of the Company approved amendments to the Acacia Automotive, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), renaming it the Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and making that revised plan effective as of January 1, 2012. All material terms of the 2007 Plan remained in full force and effect as they were merged into the revised Plan.

In July 2007, the Company caused to be formed Acacia Augusta Vehicle Auction, Inc., a South Carolina corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. (“AAVA”), for the sole purposes of acquiring certain assets of the Augusta Auto Auction in Augusta, Georgia, and operating an auction at that same location. This became the Company’s first operating asset in the automotive auction industry and was the Company’s only revenue producing business at that time. Later, in 2009, the Company caused to be formed Acacia Chattanooga Vehicle Auction, Inc., a Tennessee corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. (“ACVA”), for the sole purposes of acquiring certain assets of the Chattanooga Vehicle Auction in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and operating an auction at that same location. The latter acquisition represented the Company’s second, and final, automotive auction acquisition.

Due a dispute that arose with the seller of the Chattanooga Vehicle Auction, the Company discontinued operations there effective August 31, 2010, accounting for those operations as discontinued effective that date, and first accounted for those as discontinued operations in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010. In late 2011, after successfully operating the Augusta auction for more than four years, the Company determined that it was in its best interests to sell the Augusta auction and thereafter entered into a Letter of Intent with two individuals for that purpose. The sale transaction was completed on July 31, 2012. (See Part II, Item 9B – “Other Information”) Those events were reported in their entirety by the Company on its Current Report on Form 8-K on August 27, 2012, which in incorporated herein by reference. Following the disposition of the Augusta Vehicle Auction in 2012, the Company lacked significant operations and thereafter sought to become a diversified holding company.

Recent Operations of the Company

The Company was without revenue-producing operations from July 31, 2012 until July 10, 2013, when it, through its new wholly-owned subsidiary Citrus Extracts, Inc., entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets and assumed liabilities related to those assets from Red Phoenix Extracts, Inc. (“RPE”), a corporation located in Fort Pierce, Florida. The assets included, among other things, furnishings, machinery, and equipment. As consideration for the assets, the Company issued to the holders of RPE nine hundred thousand (900,000) restricted shares of its common stock. There was no cash consideration in the transaction, which was more particularly described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 10, 2013.

In that transaction, the Company also assumed certain liabilities of RPE, including indebtedness and trade payables in the amount of $519,493 for certain loan and payable obligations and responsibility for a forklift lease in the amount of $465 per month for the remaining 16 months of the lease. That forklift lease expired in October of 2014, and the Company exercised its option to purchase at that time. As a part of the assumed indebtedness the Company accepted responsibility for payment of the remaining $226,100 due on an SBA equipment loan at $5,205.46 per month.

In that same transaction, the Company also assumed responsibility for two leases for a facility of approximately 14,525 square feet consisting of two adjacent building units located at 3495 S. U.S. Hwy.1, Bldgs. 12-E and 12-W. The Company pays a combined $4,691 per month for the two leased units to the to the Fort Pierce State Farmer’s Market in Fort Pierce, Florida. The Farmers Market is owned and operated by the State of Florida, and the leases are subject to additional 1-year lease renewals, that being the maximum term allowed by the Florida authority operating the facility.

Current Operations of the Company

The Company’s current business operations are conducted through two (2) wholly-owned subsidiaries and a new operation that is not yet segregated as a subsidiary or division. They include:

Citrus Extracts, Inc.

Citrus Extracts, Inc. (“CEI”) is a business in the food manufacturing industry subsector that transforms livestock and agricultural products into products for intermediate or final consumption. The industry groups are distinguished by the raw materials (generally of animal or vegetable origin) processed into food products. CEI utilizes our proprietary chemical-free, 100% natural processes in the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of all-natural, food-grade ingredients from raw, fresh, natural citrus peel resulting from citrus juicing operations. Through these controlled methods, CEI processes and dehydrates orange, lemon, grapefruit and tangerine peel into its “CitraBlend” and “CitraBlend Organic” products and then mills those products to varying sizes ranging from larger “cut & sift flakes” to 40+ mesh powders (or smaller sizes for custom orders). These ingredients, both organic and non-organic, find their way into many regional and national brand-name products commonly found on America’s kitchen tables in the form of spices, teas and otherwise. Our CitraBlend products are also utilized in brewing many local and regional craft beers in addition to nationally-recognized beer brands, and because we have only recently addressed that market it remains largely untapped. At this time CitraBlend is primarily sold through a network of distributors who blend our products and sell them as ingredients included in many well-known consumer products.

On July 2014, RPE reacquired $113,597 of the original debt transferred to the Company in the asset acquisition agreement and reacquired the $69,950 in trade obligations, thereafter becoming a creditor to the Company in those amounts replacing others. It further extended a new advance to the Company in the amount of $65,000 cash, resulting in total obligations to RPE of $248,547.

Following those actions, on August 20, 2014 the Company issued 108,597 new common shares to RPE in extinguishment of a portion of its obligations, those shares being valued at $1.00 each. Following the issuance of those shares, the Company’s debt obligation to RPE from the original acquisition transaction was reduced to $139,950 and its remaining debt obligations to others from that transaction was reduced to $109,846.

Thus, in 2013 the Company issued 934,285 new restricted shares of its Common stock. Of those shares issued in 2013, 900,000 shares were issued to RPE for assets acquired, 20,000 shares were issued to the Company’s securities attorney for services, and 14,285 shares were issued for services related to website and logo design. In 2014 the Company issued 238,597 new restricted shares of its Common stock. Of those shares issued in 2014, 108,597 shares were issued in extinguishment of obligations to RPE, 20,000 shares were issues for services related to the company’s computer servers and websites, 5,000 shares were issued for legal services, and 105,000 shares were issued to others for miscellaneous services.

Acacia Transport Services, Inc.

Acacia Transport Services, Inc. (“ATS”) is a business in the transportation industry that hauls fresh, raw, citrus peel resulting from the juice extraction process at juice plants. ATS has an exclusive contract to remove all the remediated raw citrus peel from Lambeth Groves Juice Company in Vero Beach, Florida, about 20 miles from the CEI manufacturing plant. In July and August of 2014 Acacia Transport acquired three tandem-axle diesel road tractors, five tandem-axle aluminum end-dump trailers, one 53 foot tandem axle closed van trailer, one straight truck with a stainless steel tank for small peel-hauling operations, as well as other spare parts and support equipment to accommodate its obligations to Lambeth Groves and Citrus Extracts. Under the terms of the contract, ATS, at its option, can bill Lambeth Groves for removing the raw peel, but has thus far elected not to do so. A portion of the raw peel ATS hauls from Lambeth Groves is taken to CEI for use in its manufacturing processes, and AST delivers excess peel to local farmers for use as livestock feed, charging only for those transport services on a per-load basis.

Acacia Transport Services transported its first load of raw peel from Lambeth Groves on August 7, 2014 and transported subsequent loads going forward from that date. Full-scale transport operations finally began with the onset of the 2015 citrus season that again started later than anticipated at approximately the beginning of December, 2014, the number of loads transported “in season” generally being maximized during the period of December through March or April.

Acacia Milling Services, Inc.

Acacia Milling Services (“AMS”) is a developmental stage business in the milling or grinding industry that mills finished citrus ingredient products rendered by Citrus Extracts into smaller, finer particles. These milling services vary from simple sifting operations that separate the various sizes of materials to creating specific cuts from the original material, such as “tea bag cut” size, granulated materials of various sizes, or “powders” of various mesh sizes. Generally the greater the mesh size (higher mesh sizes referring to finer, smaller, particle size) requested by the customer, the higher the milling charges per pound. The Company does not currently maintain separate accounting functions for its new milling operations, but intends to further segregate those milling operations later in 2015 and to implement a new system of segregated financial reporting for those operations, should the operations of AMS increase as expected. The Company also intends to expand its offerings of those milling services to outside parties for the generation of additional revenues in the future.

Thus, Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc., now (i) through its Citrus Extracts, Inc. subsidiary is now engaged in operating an agricultural processing and manufacturing business concentrating on optimizing citrus biomass (waste) materials into food, beverage, spice, nutraceutical, skin care, cosmetics, and botanical products; (ii) through its wholly-owned Acacia Transport Services, Inc. subsidiary in Fort Pierce, Florida is now engaged in the transportation industry; and, (iii) through its Acacia Milling Services operations is engaged in milling finished products for the Company’s Citrus Extracts, Inc. subsidiary and ultimately other clients.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company will continue to seek and evaluate other acquisition, business combination or merger opportunities. Such opportunities need not be in our current area of operations and may be more consistent with our objective to become a holding company with a diverse array of businesses. There can be no assurance that any such evaluations will result in viable acquisition opportunities, or that any viable acquisition opportunities could result in a formal business combination or relationship. Moreover, there can be no assurances that if we are able to identify a suitable opportunity, that we will have the financial ability to close such contemplated transaction or that the target will accept any bona fide offer made by us. Should the Company require additional capital to close such a transaction, that may require us to offer to sell and sell either our debt or equity securities. There can be no assurances, however, that any such efforts would be successful. There have been no tentative or definitive plans for acquisition or merger agreements resulting from any evaluations.

Employees

The Parent Company had two officers in 2014, being Steven L. Sample, its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Patricia Ann Arnold, its Secretary. Ms. Arnold serves in her capacity as a non-employee, while Mr. Sample serves as a full-time employee of the Company. Ms. Arnold spends less than full time on the affairs of the Parent Company. The Parent Company also had one other full time senior accounting employee in 2014.

Our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Citrus Extracts, Inc. and Acacia Transport Services, Inc., have a total of approximately 20 full-time and part-time employees.

The Company, should it be successful in executing its business plan, believes that it may be required to expand its staff to implement the controls necessary to manage a larger organization. This would likely result in the need for a Chief Financial Officer or Corporate Controller or other officers and managers and basic support personnel. The Company will endeavor to operate with the smallest corporate management staff possible so as to maintain the lowest overhead possible while still effecting sufficient management processes to properly guide the company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion with respect to our consolidated financial statements although our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

While the Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary is profitable, and while its Augusta Auto Auction operations were profitable as well, the Company has incurred significant losses as a consolidated entity since July 2007, losses that have continued since that time through the close of fiscal 2014. These continuing losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our auditor's opinion with respect to our financial statements contain a going concern opinion. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Because We Have Limited Operating History, it is Difficult to Evaluate Our Business.

On July 10, 2013 the Company acquired certain assets that it utilized to begin revenue-producing operations under a new food grade citrus byproducts subsidiary. On March 1, 2014 the Company began milling products under the name Acacia Milling Services in preparation to create a stand-alone billing entity in the future. In July and August of 2014 the Company acquired vehicles and implemented operations at its new Acacia Transport, Inc. subsidiary. As a result of our limited operating history in these businesses, you have very little operating and financial data about us upon which to base an evaluation. You should consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties we may encounter, including those frequently encountered by new companies. If we are unable to execute our plans and grow our business, either as a result of the risks identified in this section or for any other reason, this failure would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business prospects, and financial condition.

The purchase of our securities is a purchase of an interest in what should be considered as a high risk venture or in a new or “start-up” venture with all the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.

Table of Contents

We plan to grow through acquisitions

We plan to grow through expansion of our new operations, creation of new businesses, acquisitions, and/or mergers, and investors have little current basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target businesses' operations or our ability to identify and integrate acquired operations into our company. Because we intend to develop and expand our business at least in part through selective acquisitions of or mergers with other businesses, there are significant risks that we may not be successful. We may not be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional companies or assets or successfully integrate such additional companies or assets into our Company without substantial costs, delays or other problems. In addition, companies we may acquire may not be profitable at the time of their acquisition or may not achieve levels of profitability that would justify our investment. Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, including but not limited to:

Ø	adverse short-term effects on our reported operating results,

Ø	diversion of management's attention,

Ø	dependence hiring, training, and retaining key personnel,

Ø	risks associated with unanticipated problems or legal liabilities,

Ø	amortization of acquired intangible assets, some or all of which could reflect poorly on our operating results and financial reports,

Ø	implementation or remediation of controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company at companies that, prior to the acquisition, lacked these controls, procedures and policies; and,

Ø	incursion of debt to make acquisitions or for other operating uses.

To the extent we complete a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its development stage, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations of those entities. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors.

We will seek to implement our acquisition strategy in certain industries that may be considered as mature

We may acquire a business in what may be considered a mature industry in which single-digit or low double-digit growth may occur. Most growth for our Company would, accordingly, occur largely through acquisitions. To the extent that competitors are also seeking to grow through acquisitions, we could encounter competition for those acquisitions or a generally increasing price to acquire going concerns.

A primary part of the Company’s strategy is to establish revenue through the acquisition of or merger with additional companies or operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, acquire, combine with, or profitably manage additional companies or successfully integrate the operations of additional companies into those of the Company without encountering substantial costs, delays or other problems. In addition, there can be no assurance that companies acquired in the future will achieve or maintain profitability that justify liabilities that could materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The Company may compete for acquisition, merger, and expansion opportunities with companies that have greater resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that suitable acquisition or merger candidates will be available, that purchase terms or financing for acquisitions or mergers will be obtainable on terms acceptable to the Company, that acquisitions or mergers can be consummated, or that acquired businesses can be integrated successfully and profitability into the Company’s operations. Further, the Company's results of operations in fiscal quarters immediately following a material acquisition or merger could be materially adversely affected while the Company integrates the acquired business into its existing structure.

The Company will attempt to acquire or merge with business entities that are going and functioning concerns with a trailing history of profitability, but may acquire or merge with certain businesses that have either been unprofitable, have had inconsistent profitability prior to their acquisition or combination therewith, or that have had no operating history. An inability of the Company to improve the profitability of these acquired businesses could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Finally, the Company's acquisition and merger strategy places significant demands on the Company's resources and there can be no assurance that the Company's management and operational systems and structure can be expanded to effectively support the Company's acquisition strategy. If the Company is unable to successfully implement its acquisition and merger strategy, this inability could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, or financial condition. The Company may face the opportunity to enhance shareholder value by being acquired by another company. Upon any acquisition of the Company, the Company would be subject to various risks, including the replacement of its management by persons currently unknown. There can also be no assurance that, if acquired, new management will be successfully integrated or can profitably manage the Company. In addition, any acquisition or merger of or by the Company may involve immediate dilution to existing shareholders of the Company. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to or desire to be acquired, or be able to acquire or merge with additional companies.

Table of Contents

Need for Additional Financing

The Company does not have adequate capital or resources to fund its operations and other capital needs for the next six months without new revenue sources or additional capital infusion, and there can be no assurance that such funds will become available in amounts sufficient to meet the obligations of our business. The Company may require additional amounts of capital for its future expansion and working capital, possibly from private placements of its common stock or borrowing, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.

Dependence on Key Personnel

Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our Chief Executive Officer, Steven L. Sample and now upon the continued service of William J. Howe, the President of the Company’s new Citrus Extracts, Inc. subsidiary in Fort Pierce, Florida. The loss of either of their services could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not presently maintain key man life insurance on Mr. Sample or Mr. Howe, but may obtain such insurance at the discretion of its board of directors for such term as it may deem suitable or desirable. Our future success may depend on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel. The competition for such personnel can be intense, and there can be no assurance that we can attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel for favorable compensations in the future.

Technological Change

Technology, particularly the ability to use the Internet to conduct business and allow several management functions, is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product and service announcements, introductions and enhancements, and changing customer demands. Our future success will to some degree depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, our ability to adapt its solutions to meet evolving industry standards and our ability to improve continually the performance, features and reliability of its solutions. Similarly, the Company must also continue to examine new processes and technologies related to its new citrus byproducts subsidiary. The failure of the Company to adapt successfully to such changes in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful implementation of solutions, or that any new solutions or enhancements to existing solutions will adequately meet the requirements of its current and prospective customers and achieve any degree of significant market acceptance. If the Company is unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new solutions or enhancements to existing solutions in a timely manner or in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if its solutions or enhancements do not achieve a significant degree of market acceptance, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Competition

Any industry served by the Company is likely to be highly competitive across the entire United States and the rest of the world. The Company has elected to devote the majority of its efforts on sales within the continental United States, but does compete with other companies in diverse countries than can potentially produce and sell its products at lower prices. While the Company believes that there are other hurdles for those foreign entities to scale, including the high cost of international shipping to U.S. buyers, we believe that they nonetheless can compete with us in our markets. We will potentially compete with a variety of companies, both domestic and international, and as such will be subject to various levels of competition. There is no assurance the Company will be able to adhere to its plans or to engage in any acquisitions or mergers at all. As a result of its agreement with Uncle Matt’s Organic, Inc., Florida’s largest organic Juice producer, the Company believes it can compete as a manufacturer and supplier of organic food grade citrus peel products. The Company has several buyers of its product in diverse areas of the United States, and is currently fielding opportunities to sell or distribute its products to other buyers. In addition, the Company attended an organic trade show in Europe in early 2014 in an effort to establish clients in Europe and other venues, although it does not expend great energies in those areas and does not expect to see a significant amount of international business in its portfolio.

Control

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors owns a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities which could reduce the ability of minority shareholders to effect certain corporate actions.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Steven Sample, owned 43.27% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2013. As a result, currently, and after an offering by the Company of its equity securities, he will possess significant influence and can elect a majority of our board of directors and authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. His effective control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer.

As of that same date, all officers and directors of the Company owned a combined 45.58% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Based upon the Company's current business plan, it is anticipated that Mr. Sample will continue to have substantial influence over, if not effective control over the Company’s operations in the near future, including the election of a majority of its board of directors, the issuance of additional shares of equity securities, and other matters of corporate governance, perhaps even after some potential subsequent issuances by the Company of new common shares for capital raising activities, acquisitions, or merger activities.

We may, in the future, issue additional shares of common stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock

Management of Growth

The Company is continually seeking to identify and acquire viable businesses. As a result, the Company must manage relationships with a growing number of third parties as it seeks to accommodate this goal. The Company's management, personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support the Company’s future operations. The Company's ability to manage its growth effectively will require it to continue to expand its operating and financial procedures and controls, to replace or upgrade its operational, financial and management information systems and to attract, train, motivate, manage and retain key employees. If the Company's executives are unable to manage growth effectively, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. If successful in acquiring or combining with other operations, the Company anticipates it may inherit a substantial portion of the staff necessary to operate the new entities, but there is no assurance that will happen, or that if it does happen, that the staff will remain employed by the Company for any period of time. We may find that some of the personnel and management of any acquisition target(s) may not be suitable for continued employment, while other suitable candidates may elect to discontinue their employment or affiliation with the Company for various reasons. This can create a burden on the Company’s management as it seeks to fill key positions. Failure of the Company to do so in a timely manner can result in disruption of operations, loss of revenues, and an attendant reduction in profits or even substantial losses.

Risks Associated with Expansion

The Company desires to start, acquire or combine with other businesses, perhaps in diverse locations and markets. To date, the Company does not have substantial experience in developing services on a regional or national scale. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to deploy successfully its goods or services in those markets. There are certain risks inherent in doing business in several diverse markets, such as; unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, potentially adverse tax consequences, local restrictions, controls relating to inter-company communications and technology, difficulties in staffing and managing distant operations, fluctuations in manpower availability, effects of local competition, weather and climactic trends, and customer preferences, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the success of the Company's operations and, consequently, on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Product and Service Offerings

On July 10, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets and, though its Citrus Extracts, Inc. (“CEI”) subsidiary, entered the citrus peel byproducts manufacturing business. The Company’s CEI subsidiary utilizes our chemical-free, 100% natural processes in the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of all-natural food-grade ingredients made from raw, fresh, natural citrus peel resulting from citrus juicing operations. Through its trade secret processes, CEI processes and dehydrates orange, lemon, grapefruit and tangerine peel as CitraBlend and CitraBlend then mills it to varying sizes from “cut & sift flakes” to 40+ mesh powders (or smaller sizes for custom orders). These ingredients, both organic and non-organic, find their ways into many national brand-name products commonly found on America’s kitchen tables in the form of spices, teas, national brand beer, specialty beverages, and otherwise. In addition to a national label beer, our products are found in many craft beers, and because we have only recently addressed that market it remains largely untapped. CitraBlend is currently primarily sold through a distributor network with emphasis on those industries.

In addition to our standard non-organic line of products, our Citrus Extracts subsidiary began manufacturing organic citrus ingredient products in larger quantities effective with the beginning of January 2014. The Company secures it source material (fresh citrus peel) directly from a citrus peel processor less than 20 miles from its manufacturing facility, also obtaining is fresh organic peel from that plant in conjunction with its juice processing operations for Uncle Matt’s Organic Juice Company-Florida’s largest organic juice manufacturer. All our food grade products are gluten free, non-gmo, certified Kosher, and in the case our organic products, bear our USDA National Organic Certification.

On January 15, 2014, the Company formed a new Florida corporation, Acacia Transport Services, Inc. (“ATS”), for the purposes of utilizing that corporation to house new subsidiary operations and to receive certain acquired assets. On July 2, 2014, ATS executed an exclusive agreement with Lambeth Groves Juice Company in Vero Beach, Florida to obtain all the raw citrus peel resulting from its juice extraction operations beginning July 30, 2014, and concomitant with that same time the Company acquired several road tractors and trailers for use in transporting the raw citrus peel for use at the Company’s Citrus Extracts, Inc. manufacturing subsidiary and for disposing of excess peel to farmers. ATS hauled its first loads of raw citrus peel from Lambeth Groves on August 7, 2014 and thereafter as it became available.

On March 1, 2014 the Company began performing milling operations using the trade name Acacia Milling Services at the Fort Pierce location for its Citrus Extracts subsidiary. Milling is the term applied to grinding or refining the finished citrus ingredient products rendered by Citrus Extracts into smaller, finer particles. These services vary from simple sifting operations that separate the various sizes of materials to creating specific cuts from the original material, such as “tea bag cut” size, granulated materials of various sizes, or “powders” of various mesh sizes. Generally the greater the mesh size (finer, smaller, particle size) requested by the customer, the higher the milling charges per pound. The Company does not currently maintain separate accounting functions for its new milling operations, but intends to further segregate those milling operations in 2015 and to implement a new system of segregated financial reporting for those operations. The Company also intends to expand its offerings of those milling services to outside parties for the generation of additional revenues in the future.

The Company may seek to start, acquire, or combine with other service or non-service entities, including those involved in manufacturing, transportation, distribution, chemical products, or otherwise. It is important to our future success to expand the breadth and depth of our offerings to be competitive and to enhance our potentials for growth of revenues and profits. Expansion of our categories and offerings in this manner will require significant additional expenditures and could strain our management, financial and operational resources. For example, we may find it prudent to acquire or build, outfit, and operate a new manufacturing facility or to initiate a new transport subsidiary where one is not currently available. We cannot be certain that we would be able to do so in a cost-effective or timely manner or that we would be able to offer certain products or services in demand by our customers, or to do so in a quality manner. Furthermore, any new product or service offering that is not favorably received by the Company’s clients could damage our reputation. The lack of market acceptance of new products or services or our inability to generate satisfactory revenues from expanded product or service offerings to offset their costs could harm our business. If we do not successfully expand our sales operations, our revenues may fall below expectations. If we do not successfully expand our operations on an ongoing basis to accommodate increases in demand, we will not be able to fulfill our customers’ needs in a timely manner, which would harm our business. Most of our product or service operations are anticipated to be handled at our facilities, but some services may be performed at offsite locations or by approved vendors or contractors. Any future expansion may cause disruptions in our business and may be insufficient to meet our ongoing requirements. The Company may move into various businesses as sales, manufacturing, transport, marketing, or otherwise, and is not limited to considering only product or service business offering. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying new businesses, or if it can be successful in acquiring or merging with any new business if identified.

Government Regulation and Legal Uncertainties

Any new legislation or regulation, or the application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to the Company's business could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Check, Credit Card, and Other Fraud

Our business could be harmed if we experience significant credit, wire transfer, draft, check, credit card, or other fraud. If we fail to adequately control fraudulent transactions, our revenues and results of operations could be harmed. The Company may attempt to obtain insurance as partial protections from such potential losses, but even while the Company’s exposure to loss in this event may be limited by the purchase of any such insurance, losses could nonetheless occur. Any losses sustained as a result of fraud or fraudulent activity would adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations, and its financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Liability Claims

The Company may face costly liability claims by consumers or other businesses. Any claim of liability by a client, employee, consumer or other entity against us, regardless of merit, could be costly financially and could divert the attention of our management. It could also create negative publicity, which would harm our business. Although we maintain certain forms of liability insurance, it may not provide protections in the event of certain liability claims, or may not be sufficient to cover a covered claim if one is made.

The Company may not be able to attain profitability without additional funding, which may be unavailable.

The Company has limited capital resources. Unless the Company begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, the Company may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force the Company to cease operations if additional financing is not available. No known alternative resources of funds are available in the event we do not generate sufficient funds from operations.

Our lack of history in our current industry makes evaluating our business difficult.

We have a limited operating history in our current industry and we may not sustain profitability in the future.

To sustain profitability, we must:

Ø	develop and identify new clients in need of our product;

Ø	economically increase production output;

Ø	compete with larger, more established competitors in our industry;

Ø	maintain and enhance our brand recognition; and

Ø	adapt to meet changes in our markets and competitive developments.

We may not be successful in accomplishing these objectives. Further, our lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies in highly competitive industries. The historical information in this report may not be indicative of our future financial condition and future performance. For example, we expect that our future annual growth rate in revenues will be moderate and likely be less than the growth rates experienced in the early part of our history.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business, brand and reputation, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We may experience a rapid growth in operations, which may place significant demands on our management team and our operational and financial infrastructure. As we continue to grow, we must effectively identify, integrate, develop and motivate new employees, and maintain the beneficial aspects of our corporate culture. To attract top talent, we believe we will have to offer attractive compensation packages. The risks of over-hiring or over compensating and the challenges of integrating a rapidly growing employee base may impact profitability.

Additionally, if we do not effectively manage our growth, the quality of our services could suffer, which could adversely affect our business, brand and reputation, results of operations and financial condition. If operational, technology and infrastructure improvements are not implemented successfully, our ability to manage our growth will be impaired and we may have to make significant additional expenditures to address these issues. To effectively manage our growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. This will require that we refine our information technology systems to maintain effective online services and enhance information and communication systems to ensure that our employees effectively communicate with each other and our growing base of customers. These system enhancements and improvements will require significant incremental and ongoing capital expenditures and allocation of valuable management and employee resources. If we fail to implement these improvements and maintenance programs effectively, our ability to manage our expected growth and comply with the rules and regulations that are applicable to publicly reporting companies will be impaired and we may incur additional expenses.

We may be subject to regulatory inquiries, claims, suits, or prosecutions which may impact our profitability.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable laws and regulations may subject us to regulatory inquiries, claims, suits and prosecutions. We can give no assurance that we will prevail in such regulatory inquiries, claims, suits and prosecutions on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Responding to, defending and/or settling regulatory inquiries, claims, suits and prosecutions may be time-consuming and divert management and financial resources or have other adverse effects on our business. A negative outcome in any of these proceedings may result in changes to or discontinuance of some of our services, potential liabilities or additional costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

Expanding our product offerings or number of offices may not be profitable.

We may choose to develop new products to offer. Developing new offerings involves inherent risks, including:

Ø	our inability to estimate demand for the new offerings;

Ø	our inability to perfect the new products;

Ø	our ability to locate and identify new buyers for those products;

Ø	competition from more established market participants; and

Ø	a lack of market understanding.

In addition, expanding into new geographic areas and/or expanding current service offerings is challenging and may require integrating new employees into our culture as well as assessing the demand in the applicable market.

Risks of Low Priced Stocks

Following its initial public offering of its common stock in 1996, the Company’s shares were originally traded on the NASDAQ Exchange into 2000 as Gibbs Construction, Inc. under the trading symbol GBSE. Gibbs encountered severe financial difficulties in 2000, after which it was moved from the NASDAQ Capital Markets to the OTC Pink Sheets. Following the resurrection of the Company’s operations in 2007 through the intervention and assistance of the Company’s current CEO, Mr. Sample, its stock currently trades on the OTCQB exchange under the trading symbol ACCA. Most of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares continue to be restricted shares resulting in a small “float”. For that and other reasons the Company’s securities have been thinly traded, and while a trading market for the Company's common stock could develop further with its current or new operations and the further release of restrictions on registered shares, there can be no assurance that it will do so. The Company returned to the OTC Pink Sheets following a delinquency in filing required reports, but anticipates returning to the OTCQB market immediately following the filings if this Annual Report for 2014 on Form 10-K.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”) has adopted regulations which define a “penny stock” to be any equity security, such as those of the Company, that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. In the event the Company determined to offer its common stock for sale, or elected to utilize its common stock in an acquisition of merger transaction, it would be required to advise the potential purchasers or parties to any such acquisition or merger transaction of the risks of penny stocks. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock by a retail customer, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange commission relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Accordingly, market makers may be less inclined to participate in marketing the Company’s securities, which may have an adverse impact upon the liquidity of the Company’s securities.

If the Company were successful in identifying a new business opportunity and/or identifying an acquisition or merger target, became successful in actually launching a new business or acquiring or merging with any such target, and was successful in bringing profitable operations to the Company, it would intend to seek to meet the new listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital market and attempt to return to that Exchange, which listing requirements include minimal capitalization, share price, and other benchmark requirements. There is no assurance the Company can successfully identify any suitable new business opportunity, acquisition or merger candidate, or if successful in identifying a new business opportunity or merger/acquisition candidate, that it can be successful in developing a new business or completing any acquisition or merger, or if successful in developing a new business or completing any acquisition or merger that the Company could be successful in meeting the new listing requirements of the NASDAQ, or if successful in meeting those requirements, that the NASDAQ would accept the Company as a member, or that if the Company were successful in achieving a listing on the NASDAQ exchange that its share values would improve. Any attempt to return to the NASDAQ Exchange, even if the Company were successful in meeting the requirements to do so, could take as long as two years to complete.

We are subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. Our common stock is a “penny stock”, and we are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the “Penny Stock Rule”. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers. For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

Table of Contents

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

No Assurance of Payment of Dividends

Should the Company acquire additional operations, and should the operations of the Company become profitable, it is likely that the Company would retain much or all of its earnings in order to finance future growth and expansion. Therefore, the Company does not presently intend to pay dividends, and it is not likely that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

Potential Future Capital Needs

The Company may not be successful in generating sufficient cash from its new operations or in raising capital in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms to meet its capital needs. The failure to generate sufficient cash flows or to raise sufficient funds may require the Company to delay or abandon some or all of its development and expansion plans or otherwise forego market opportunities, and may make it difficult for the Company to respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. While the Company may seek to raise capital through the offering of common stock, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so, or if successful in raising capital that the proceeds in any such offering will be sufficient to permit the Company to implement its proposed business plan, or that any assumptions relating to the implementation of such plan will prove to be accurate. To the extent that the proceeds of any such offering are not sufficient to enable the Company to generate sufficient revenues or achieve profitable operations, the inability to obtain additional financing will have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that the Company will be successful in finding new operations.

Implementation of Business Plan

The Company currently does not have sufficient working capital to pursue our business plan in its entirety as described herein. Our ability to implement our business plan will depend on our ability to obtain sufficient working capital and to execute its business plans. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain additional capital, or, if available, that such capital will be available at terms acceptable to us, or that we will be able to generate profit from operations, or if profits are generated, that they will be sufficient to carry out our business plans, or that the plans will not be modified.

As of December 31, 2014 the Company had 191 stockholders of record. The Company believes that it may also have as many as 200 or more additional beneficial shareholders. The number of both shareholders of record and beneficial shareholders may change on a daily basis and without the Company’s immediate knowledge.

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by our board of directors and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of assets after payment of liabilities. The board of directors has sole discretion to determine: (i) whether to declare a dividend; (ii) the dividend rate, if any, on the shares of any class of series of our capital stock, and if so, from which date or dates; and (iii) the relative rights of priority of payment of dividends, if any, between the various classes and series of our capital stock. We have not paid any dividends and do not have any current plans to pay any dividends.

At its meeting of directors on February 1, 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved the Acacia Automotive, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan1 (the “Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders on November 2, 2007, reserving 1,000,000 shares to be issued thereunder in the form of common stock or common stock purchase options. On July 26, 2012, our shareholders voted to update and extend the Acacia Automotive, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, renaming it the Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. Warrants, which may be included as equity compensation of used in other manners, are not a component of the Plan. In resolutions since the implementation of the Plan, the directors granted restricted stock, warrants, and options for compensation summarized as follows as of December 31, 2014:

Executive Overview

With the acquisition of the Augusta Auto Auction on July 10, 2007, the Company commenced revenue-producing at that location and conducted its first weekly auction under the Company's ownership and management on July 11th of that year. The Company's Augusta auction sold vehicles and equipment for automotive dealers and commercial accounts, including banks and finance companies, as well as for the United States Marshals Service. The Company sold the business and related assets of the Augusta auction on July 31, 2012, and first accounted for those operations as discontinued on its Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company acquired its second auto auction in December 2009, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Following disputes with the seller of those operations and certain related parties, the Company discontinued operations at that location effective August 31, 2010, after which the Company and its CEO, the Seller of the Chattanooga auction, and its related parties entered into litigation in September of that same year. The ongoing litigation between the parties was settled on February 28, 2012. Accordingly, the Company considered those as discontinued operations effective August 31, 2010, as first accounted for them as discontinued in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010. These events were further reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 19, 2012, its Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K /A for the period ended December 31, 2009, and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010, which described those events in detail, and which reports are incorporated herein by reference.

On July 10, 2013 the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Citrus Extracts, Inc., entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets (the “Assets”) of Red Phoenix Extracts, Inc., a Florida corporation (“RPE” or the “Seller”) in Fort Pierce, Florida. The transaction is more particularly described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 10, 2013.

The Company on January 15, 2014 formed Acacia Transport Services, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the primary purpose of providing transportation and a continuous source of raw citrus peel materials for its sister Citrus Extracts, Inc. manufacturing plant, and for the secondary purpose of generating transport revenues in hauling excess raw citrus peel materials to local farmers for use as feed for livestock. On July 2, 2014, that subsidiary entered into an Agreement for Citrus Peel Hauling Services with Lambeth Groves Juice Company, a juice extraction company located in Vero Beach, Florida, some 20 miles from Citrus Extracts, Inc. That contract called for Acacia Transport to assume all responsibilities for hauling the raw, remediated citrus peel products from Lambeth Groves by July 30, 2014, and actual transport operations from Lambeth Groves commenced on August 7, 2014.

Discussion Regarding Management Fees

In the same fashion as some other holding companies, the Company generates revenues to pay its corporate overhead by assessing fees to its operating units. These fees, designated as Intercompany Charges or Management Fees, appear as Other Expense below the Net Ordinary Income line on the operating units’ income statements and as income on the parent company’s operating statements. In 2014, the Company’s Citrus Extracts unit, its only operating unit for the first two quarters of 2014, and its Acacia Transport Services unit, which began operations in July of that year, were assessed those Intercompany Charges. Management Fees, as with all significant intercompany accounts and transactions, are eliminated in consolidation.

Discussion Regarding the Business of the Company’s Subsidiaries

Business Overview - Citrus Extracts, Inc.

The Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary utilizes our chemical-free, 100% natural processes in the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of all-natural food-grade ingredients made from raw, fresh, natural citrus peel resulting from citrus juicing operations. Through its trade secret processes, CEI processes and dehydrates orange, lemon, grapefruit and tangerine peel as CitraBlend and CitraBlend then mills it to varying sizes from “cut & sift flakes” to 40+ mesh powders (or smaller sizes for custom orders). These ingredients, both organic and non-organic, find their ways into many national brand-name products commonly found on America’s kitchen tables in the form of spices, teas, national brand beer, specialty beverages, and otherwise. In addition to a national label beer, our products are found in many craft beers, and because we have only recently addressed that market it remains largely untapped. CitraBlend is currently primarily sold through a distributor network with emphasis on those industries.

Table of Contents

As with other industries in the food manufacturing subsector, CEI transforms raw agricultural products into products for intermediate or final consumption. These industry groups are distinguished by the type of raw materials (generally of animal or vegetable origin) processed into food products. Our manufacturing plant currently specialized in natural citrus products. The food products manufactured in these establishments are typically sold to wholesalers or retailers for inclusion as ingredients into various food products or direct distribution to consumers. The Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary concentrates its efforts on manufacturing food grade ingredients that are used in foods and beverages, including spices, teas, beers, and other food commodities., but also effectively and efficiently transforms this fresh, raw citrus peel material into highly saleable by-products for use in the nutraceutical, skin care, cosmaceutical and botanical industries.

As is common with other businesses, the Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in its quarterly results of operations due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control and which are common to the industry. Generally, the volume of products produced, and therefore available for sale, is highest in the first, second, and fourth calendar quarters of each year and lower in the third quarter. This results primarily from the availability of raw citrus peel for production use during the Florida “citrus season” each year. This seasonality is affected by several factors, most particularly weather conditions that affect the timing of maturity of brix and sugar levels in the fruit, being the determinant as to the suitability of the fruit for juicing operations. The Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary relies upon the citrus peel resulting from those juice operations as its source of raw materials for production of its finished products. Among the other factors that have in the past and/or could in the future affect the Company's operating results are: general business conditions; news relating to the healthful benefits of our products; trends in the food industry and changes in personal eating habits; economic conditions, including fuel prices and interest rate fluctuations; the introduction of new competitors; competitive pricing pressures; and costs associated with the acquisition of businesses or technologies; and the contractual relationships of our customers with their end-user clients and the resultant periodic fluctuations in their orders. As a result of the above factors, operations are subject to significant variability and uncertainty from quarter to quarter, and revenues and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis.

Discussion Regarding Citrus Products

Citrus possess a unique, modular construction. Its many beneficial components are located in the parts that most consumers would throw away. The outer skin, or flavedo, contains pigments that give each fruit its distinctive color. This exterior surface also is dotted with oil glands. Just underneath is the white portion of the peel, or the albedo. Under the albedo lie the familiar citrus segments. Each of these is made up of several membrane-encased juice vesicles. Each segment’s collection of juice vesicles is further surrounded by an outer membrane known as the lamella. In seeded fruit, the seeds are found toward the center of the segments. Beyond that, citrus fruits have a core made of a soft, spongy material that visually resembles the albedo.

Citrus fruits are about 50% to 60% juice. Not only does juice make up the majority of the fruit, it also is the largest consumer market for citrus — with orange juice the clear leader. Juice processing originated as a way to use fruit that was deemed unsuitable for the fresh market. Now, more than 80% of the oranges grown in Florida are pressed for juice. First, mature fruit is washed and graded before stainless-steel juice extractors press out the juice. After extraction, the juice passes through a finisher which, using various means, removes excess pulp and seeds.

Juice may be the primary component of citrus processing, but the non-juice material is valuable and loaded with beneficial properties. Most juice processors elect to do little more than find a cost-effective way of disposing of it. Often, the peel and other residue is treated with lime, pressed to remove fluids and dehydrated to around 10% for use as animal feed.

Although the term citrus peel “waste” is commonly used, in reality citrus peel is extremely clean and rich in valuable nutrients. The actual components of citrus peel include:

Ø	sugar (amounting to approximately 10% of the peel);

Ø	citrus oils (d-limonene and cold press oils) at appropriately 3%;

Ø	seeds (for spices and nutraceuticals) at approximately 1%;

Ø	fiber solids (primary ingredient) approximately 50%, and, water, which constitutes the remainder of the peel.

Table of Contents

Over 7 billion pounds of citrus peel material is created each year in Florida alone as a result of the production of orange, grapefruit, and lemon juice processing companies. These companies, such as Lambeth Groves Juice Company (the source of CEI’s fresh, raw citrus peel), Tropicana (Pepsico), Florida’s Natural, Minute Maid (Coca-Cola) and others are required by the EPA to remediate their residual citrus peel “waste“ material in an effort to eliminate pollutive dumping that was previously allowed.

Citrus Extracts processes that remediated peel with processes that have the following advantages:

Ø	No waste water or volatile organic compound (“VOC”) air emissions are generated as a result of our process.

Ø	Every part of the waste peel material is utilized as food grade products with no remaining residue.

Ø	All natural processes with no additives.

Consumer products that focus on nutritionally beneficial ingredients such as rutin, d-limonene, hesperiden, potassium, Vitamin C, iron and Vitamin A, which have strong application uses for nutraceuticals, skin care, cosmetics and certain industrial uses, are found in abundance in our CitraBlend products. This product retains the valuable oils, sugars and citrus bioflavonoids that are most functional for these applications. In addition to its progressive growth in conventional citrus products, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement in August 2013 with Uncle Matt’s Organic Juice to begin selling organic certified citrus products.

The Company’s CitraBlend ingredient products are made from 100% fresh, clean, citrus peel with no chemicals or additives and provide not only a high fiber additive (over 45% fiber), but also combines a highly functional hydrocolloid (pectin) in a single product. In addition to these benefits, CitraBlend is 100% gluten free. The high concentration of pectin (over 9%) in CitraBlend makes it a truly unique and multifunctional natural product.

The following chart reflects the beneficial components in our CitraBlend and CitraBlend Organic products. You can see below that our CitraBlend and CitraBlend Organic ingredient products have more natural fiber than rye, oats, carrots, wheat, and lintel; natural hydrocolloids as in alginate, carrageenan, xanthan, guar gum, and locust beans; and more antioxidants than apples, blueberries, guava, pears, and pistachio nuts. With such an outstanding array of beneficial components, our CitraBlend products are well-suited as ingredients for the food and beverage industry

COMPARISON CHART: FIBER, HYDROCOLLOIDS, AND ANTIOXIDANTS

CITRABLEND AND CITRABLEND ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

CitraBlend Organic ingredient products also contain no genetically modified organisms (GMO), and all of our Company’s citrus products are 100% natural with no chemicals added and are manufactured in south Florida in the heart of the United States citrus industry.

The Company is continuously seeking to identify additional buyers for its products. Once identified, and assuming an interest is present in purchasing our ingredient products, the potential buyer will generally request samples of our products which they will test in determining the suitability for their specific applications. Following a finding of suitability, the potential buyer will query its buyers to see if a market exists. Upon a positive finding, the buyer can then open discussions for its future purchasing needs and engage in a purchase order for product. This process can be rather slow and tedious, particularly in the food and beverage industries, resulting in long interludes between initial sales contacts and final purchase understandings. As a result of this process, the Company believes growth will be slower than originally anticipated. The Company’s products are laboratory tested and certified in each required category, and the company maintains proper certifications and credentials for its organic and kosher ratings.

Business Overview - Acacia Transport Services, Inc.

At about the same time, Acacia Transport acquired three tandem-axle diesel road tractors, five tandem-axle aluminum end-dump trailers, one 53 foot tandem axle closed van trailer, one straight truck with a stainless steel tank for small peel-hauling operations, as well as other spare parts and support equipment to accommodate its obligations to Lambeth Groves and Citrus Extracts.

In a departure from the customary off-season lack of availability of raw citrus peel material for its production processes, Lambeth Groves generally acquires various supplies of fresh citrus products citrus products during the citrus season as supplies to support its own juice extraction operations during the off-season. The peel resulting from those off-season juice production operations becomes a source of off-season raw materials for production at the Company’s Citrus Extracts operations, and the transport of that peel is accommodated by Acacia Transport Services. Thus, Acacia Transport, through its agreement with Lambeth Groves, has obtained a source of peel in limited quantities for its revenue-generating operations during the off-season in addition to the larger volumes of peel generated in the normal citrus season, while at the same time providing a supply of off-season raw peel to its sister Citrus Extracts, Inc. subsidiary for its food-grade ingredient product manufacturing. The Company anticipates seeing a benefit from this opportunity in the off-season occurring during the summer of 2015.

The Company balances the lower revenue-producing potential, equipment cost, and operating expenses of its Acacia Transport subsidiary against the availability of peel for the manufacturing operations of its Citrus Extracts subsidiary, and has determined it to be a strategy that is very beneficial to the Company overall.

Discussion Regarding Operating Results of the Company

The Company acquired certain assets through its new Citrus Extracts, Inc. (“CEI”) subsidiary, the Company’s only revenue-producing subsidiary on July 10, 2013 only instituting full operations near the end of that year, and therefore had no revenue-producing operations for the majority of 2013.. CEI was the Company’s only revenue producing operations until August of 2014, when the Company formed its Acacia Transport Services, Inc. (“ATS”) subsidiary, the Company’s other revenue-producing subsidiary, ATS had no revenue producing operations at all in 2013 and the first two quarters of 2014, and had only very limited operations in the third quarter of 2014, becoming more active later in the fourth quarter as the 2015 Florida citrus season arrived. Accordingly, the Company’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for 2014 may not be reflective of similar results in the prior year or provide a proper basis for comparative review.

In order to generate its finished, food-grade, dehydrated ingredient products, the Company utilizes raw, wet citrus peel in its confidential production processes. Generally speaking, each pound of our finished, dehydrated ingredient products requires approximately five to seven pounds of raw peel to complete that transformation process. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Company processed approximately 5.5 million pounds of raw, fresh citrus peel and sold over one million pounds of finished ingredient products at an average price of about $1.40 per pound.

Operating costs and expenses were about $749,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, in addition to costs of revenues of about $826,000, for total costs and expenses of about $1,575,000 as compared to operating costs and expenses of about $584,000 and costs of revenues of about $232,000 for total costs and expenses of about $816,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. This 2014 increase of about $759,000, or 93% in total costs and expenses is caused by approximately $188,000 increase in employee compensation related to the Company’s subsidiary that was not in existence prior to July 10, 2013; an increase in the cost of revenues of about $594,000 related to manufacturing operations that were also not present prior to July 10, 2013; an increase in interest expense of about $5,000; and, was offset by a decrease of about $20,000 in general and administrative expense and a gain on sale of assets of about $41,000 in 2014.

The consolidated net loss decreased from $683,308 to $151,650 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. This $531,658 decline in the net loss is the result of the gross profit of $586,712 recognized on 2014 sales versus a gross loss of 84,254 in 2013 primarily due to a lack of revenue producing operations for most of the year combined with the costs of preparing the plant for operations and supporting the overheads during the non-revenue producing periods.; a gain of $25,955 in other income in 2014 versus 2013; and, an increase of $165,263 in total costs and expenses.

Consolidated employee expense of $451,348 in 2014 included the corporate compensation expenses at the parent company and compensation expenses at its Citrus Extracts subsidiary. Consolidated employee expense of $263,126 in 2013 included corporate compensation at the parent company and the compensation expenses at the Citrus Extracts subsidiary for a partial year beginning on July 10th. As a result, consolidated employee expense in 2014 increased about 72% from the 2013 level.

Consolidated general and administrative expense decreased by about 7% in 2014 versus 2013, to about $289,000 from about $310,000. The Company attributes this to the increased G&A expenses associated with the additional costs encountered with the 2013 startup of new operations at the Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary in Fort Pierce, Florida.

2014 depreciation and amortization costs were about 89% higher than in 2013, due to a full year’s expense in 2014 rather than approximately 5 months’ costs in 2013 following the acquisition of certain assets from Red Phoenix Extracts, Inc. on July 10, 2013 and, beginning in July 2014, for fleet and equipment acquisitions at its Acacia Transport Services, Inc. subsidiary. (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.)

Discussion Regarding EBITDA

EBITDA, as presented herein, is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. It is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as substitutes for cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, depreciation and amortization. Use of EBITDA as an evaluation of performance is commonly used in the vehicle auction industry.

Management uses the EBITDA measure to evaluate our performance, to compare our performance to major auction companies' results, and to evaluate our results relative to certain incentive compensation targets. Management believes its inclusion is appropriate to provide additional information to investors for purposes of comparisons. EBITDA has limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. While the Company believes that EBITDA may be a useful tool in comparing the financial performance of the Company to other auto auction entities, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Further, the Company believes that EBITDA is more accurately illustrated for the Company’s operating units before the deduction for Management Fees as Intercompany Charges. Those fees fall below the operating profit (loss) line in the Statement of Operations and are not reflective of operating results. Therefore, the EBITDA tables below do not include charges for Management Fees to the Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary.

From August 1, 2012 until July 10, 2013, the Company had no revenue-producing operations. The Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary, its only revenue-producing operations in 2013, initiated limited operations on July 10, 2013. In August of, 2014, the Company’s Acacia Transport Services subsidiary first began limited operations. As such, these results may not be reflective of similar results in the prior year or provide a proper basis for comparative review.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, information from third party professionals, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our accountants have issued, in their audit report, a going concern opinion reflecting a conclusion that our operations may not be able to continue because of a lack of financial resources.

The Company looks to its operations to provide cash flow and cash return on our investment. However, the operating cash flow from our subsidiary operations was not sufficient to support the Parent Company’s operations on a consolidated basis as of the close of fiscal 2014, again requiring the intervention of the CEO to provide financial support and liquidity for the Company. Going forward, the Company must generate greater revenues from operations at its subsidiaries in sufficient amounts to cover the costs of overheads in order to maintain a positive cash flow. The Company believes it is possible do so from its subsidiary operations once it has identified additional buyers of its organic and non-organic ingredient products, but there can be no assurance the Company will do so.

Table of Contents

The Company's cash in fiscal year 2013 prior to the acquisition of certain assets on July 10th, and the subsequent implementation of limited production operations as it awaited the maturity of the 2014 citrus season, came from cash reserves generated in 2012, and again from personal financial support from the Company’s CEO. In that same period, the cash flow from our Citrus Extracts, Inc. operation was not yet sufficient to support those operations, and was consequently not sufficient to also support the Parent Company’s operations on a consolidated basis. Our operations in 2014 also did not provide sufficient cash flow to cover our corporate activity on an ongoing basis, essentially our executive officers, administrative overhead, and overhead that includes the cost of lawyers and accountants required to be publicly held.

Following the sale of its Augusta auction in 2012 and prior to the acquisition of assets to charge its new Citrus Extracts subsidiary and the implementation of full manufacturing operations at that subsidiary at the end of 2013 and the of beginning of 2014, the Company no longer had the income from its operating subsidiaries as a source of revenue to meet its expenses, essentially generating little finished products and revenues until 2014. During its spooling-up period, which included the early part of 2014, the Company experienced extraordinary expenses associated with improving its plant facility and machinery, streamlining processes, generating new customers for its products, and generally coming into the mainstream as a manufacturer. While not unexpected or unforeseen, these factors nonetheless proved to negatively impact the operating efficiency and profitability of that subsidiary in its first full production year, resulting in reduced cash flows and liquidity to the Company.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a negative consolidated cash flow of about $1,000 for the year. This resulted from positive net cash flows of approximately $114,000 provided by financing activities offset by negative cash flows of about $56,000 used in operating activities and about $60,000 used in investing activities related to the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements.

As a result of those deficiencies in 2014, the Company will have to increase its revenues, raise capital, or institute or acquire additional operations with revenues sufficient to cover the costs of overheads. There is no assurance the Company can be successful in increasing its revenues or obtaining infusions of capital to fuel its plans, or that it can be successful in identifying or acquiring other operations. The Company’s corporate overhead is relatively small by industry standards, and management believes that such expense could ultimately be covered if it were successful in these efforts.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC 505, “Equity,” and FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Accordingly, stock compensation expense has been recognized in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 based on the grant date fair value of the options.

Under ASC 718 and 505, the fair value of options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Volatility is determined using historical stock prices over a period consistent with the expected term of the option.

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123(R)") to account for stock-based compensation under ASC 718 and ASC 605, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Codification requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award at the grant date. An additional requirement of ASC 718 is that estimated forfeitures be considered in determining compensation expense. Estimating forfeitures did not have a material impact on the determination of compensation expense in 2014 and 2013. ASC 718 requires cash flows resulting from tax deductions from the exercise of stock options in excess of recognized compensation cost (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. This requirement had no impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows in 2014 and 2013, as no options were exercised. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the Company issued no stock awards to employees.

The Company did not issue any stock options in 2014 or 2013 and had no ratable charge for options or warrants in 2014. However, in calculating its 2014 option and warrant expense, the Company relied upon the following parameters:

Risk-free interest rate – This is the yield on U.S. Treasury Securities posted at the date of grant (or date of modification) having a term equal to the expected life of the option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase compensation expense.

Expected life—years – This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain outstanding. Options granted by the Company had a maximum term of ten years. An increase in the expected life will increase compensation expense.

Expected volatility – Actual changes in the market value of stock are used to calculate the volatility assumption. An increase in the expected volatility will increase compensation expense.

Dividend yield – This is the annual rate of dividends per share over the exercise price of the option. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease compensation expense. The Company does not currently pay dividends and has no immediate plans to do so in the near future.

Table of Contents

The fair values of options issued are being amortized over the respective vesting periods (primarily four years). The amortized cost recognized for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $0.00 and $26,002, respectively. There is no future amortization of the fair value of options.

Liquidity and Need for Additional Capital

Overall, our operations were not self-funding in 2013 as a result of the lack of operations prior to July, and the delays associated with starting income producing operations at the new Citrus Extracts, Inc. subsidiary from July and beyond, exacerbated by the delays of citrus products maturing and coming to markets for the beginning of 2014 citrus season and were not self-funding in 2014 as a result of a lack of revenues from new operations. The annual citrus seasons generally begin in October or November each year, but the season started late in 2013 and 2014 with supplies of citrus only becoming generally available in December. The Company ended 2013 with a negative net cash flow of about $188,000 resulting from about $213,000 used in operating activities and about $25,000 provided by financing activities.

In 2014 the Company ended the year with a negative cash flow of about $1,000 resulting from about $56,000 used in operating activities, about $60,000 used in investment activities, and about $114,000 provided by financing activities.

Table of Contents

Through December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued compensation of $411,416 and cash advances to the Company of $35,365 owed to Mr. Steven Sample, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which remained unpaid as of that date. This deferred compensation represented amounts due to Mr. Sample beginning in early 2013, being pursuant to his Employment Agreement, and also to another employee of the Company. This lengthy deferral of compensation reflected a continuing accommodation by Mr. Sample to assist the Company’s liquidity and cash management through those periods, as he had also done in prior years. The Company did not pay Mr. Sample in either preferred or common stock in 2014 or prior years, and does not currently anticipate doing so in the future.

To generate a positive cash flow, the Company will have to increase its revenues, raise capital or acquire new sources of revenues through acquisitions or mergers, and will probably have to raise additional capital to fund those acquisitions. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in raising capital or in identifying new acquisition of merger targets, and if it is successful in identifying acquisition or merger candidates, there is no assurance the Company can be successful in completing any of those transactions.

In 2014 the Company was engaged in its plan of seeking to grow its revenues through increased manufacturing output and new marketing opportunities for its products, especially the organic products it anticipates producing in substantially greater quantities in the future. The Company is also seeking to grow through the creation of new businesses or through acquisitions, mergers or business combinations. To succeed in doing so, the Company will require additional capital. There is no assurance the Company can be successful in raising that capital.

The Company initiated a private placement of its securities at the end of August 2013, but suspended the offering after a short period prior to accepting any subscriptions pending changes to the Company’s revised plans for operations and growth. The Company anticipates seeking additional capital through the sale of its equity securities possibly in 2015 or later, but no assurance can be made that it will be able to find willing buyers for such securities. Moreover, as the Company contemplates selling its securities by way of an exemption from registration, there can be no guarantees that the Company will be able to identify a satisfactory number of suitable buyers to whom the Company may legally offer such securities. The Company would anticipate using the proceeds from any capital raise to bolster its new manufacturing operations, start new business operations, acquire new business operations, and/or seek a merger opportunity that could provide revenue streams to meet the Company’s expenses. The Company has contracted for limited long-term obligations as of December 31, 2014 as set forth in the following table.

Contractual Obligations	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		More Than 5 Years
Long-Term Debt Obligations	$	375,608	$	164,814	$	210,794	$	-	$	-

* The Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary leases manufacturing and administrative space at its Ft. Pierce, Florida, location for $4,691 per month since July of 2013, and the Company has rented administrative space in Ocala on a month-to-month basis at about $600 per month in 2014 and 2013, which has been reflected above as if a lease on an annual basis for one future year. The Fort Pierce State Farmers Market, an industrial park managed by the State of Florida, only extends renewable leases on a year-to-year basis, with the end of lease occurring in June. Therefore, the table above reflects operating lease obligations of less than one year as the $28,146 for the six months remaining on the annual lease at the Company’s Citrus Extracts location in Fort Pierce, Florida, plus $3,600 for the rent of the Company’s facility in Ocala, Florida during the same period.

The Company plans to engage in a private offering of its equity securities in 2015 or later, anticipating using portions of any capital raised in that effort on planned upgrades to its manufacturing facilities, expansion of its production capabilities, and reduction of debt. There can be no assurance the Company can be successful in initiating a private offering of its securities, or if it is successful in initiating a private offering of its securities that it will be successful in raising capital, or if successful in raising capital that it can be successful in implementing any plan for acquisitions or adding or expanding any operations.

The Company formed a new subsidiary named Acacia Transport Services, Inc. (ATS), also operating out of the Fort Pierce, Florida facility, and acquired three over-the-road tandem-axle tractors, five tandem-axle aluminum end-dump trailers, and one 53 foot closed van trailer in conjunction with the signing of a new exclusive contract to receive raw citrus peel for use in its Citrus Extracts operations. The primary purpose of ATS is the transporting the raw citrus peel materials to Citrus Extracts for its manufacturing processes, and secondarily to haul excess peel to farmers for their use as cattle feed.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls Over Financial Reporting

As is typical with most smaller enterprises, our control processes are oriented toward operations, and production of financial statements reflects an outgrowth of operations and results of those operations. Internally, financial statements are a management tool to evaluate the operations and not an end of those operations. We closely monitor the daily results of our cash position and make certain that our cash position is adequate for the foreseeable future. Our financial statements are generated as part of the reporting on our operations, one metric of our operations, and as part of our obligations as a public entity.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer who acts as our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our controls and procedures will prevent all errors and fraud, and our present efforts are oriented on improving the availability and thoroughness of information to management and to generate financial statements. In designing and evaluating the controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management’s override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports, such as this report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding operations and required disclosure.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, particularly our chief executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)

During 2014 the Company did not make changes in its internal control.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only the management’s report in this Annual Report.

Item 9B. Other Information

On July 31, 2012, the Company sold its last remaining income-producing unit, Augusta Auto Auction prior to its current operations. Those operations were first accounted for as discontinued in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2011. Following the sale of those assets, the Company had no revenue-producing operations or corresponding operating revenues until July of 2013.

On July 10, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned Citrus Extracts, Inc. (“CEI”) subsidiary, acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Red Phoenix Extracts, Inc. of Fort Pierce, Florida. CEI had limited revenue producing operations in 2013 as it prepared for its new manufacturing start-up and awaited the beginning of the 2014 Florida citrus season, which was postponed by the delayed maturing of Florida’s citrus crop, such that full operations did not commence at the facility until late December 2013 / early January 2014.

On January 15, 2014, the Company formed Acacia Transport Services, Inc. (“ATS”) for the purposes of utilizing that corporation to house new subsidiary operations and to receive certain acquired assets. On July 2, 2014, ATS executed an exclusive agreement with Lambeth Groves Juice Company in Vero Beach, Florida to obtain all the raw citrus peel resulting from its juice extraction operations beginning July 30, 2014, and concomitant with that same time the Company acquired several road tractors and trailers for use in transporting the raw citrus peel for use at the Company’s Citrus Extracts, Inc. manufacturing subsidiary and for disposing of excess peel to farmers. ATS hauled its first loads of raw citrus peel from Lambeth Groves on August 7, 2014 and thereafter as it became available.

His extensive experience in providing a wide variety of products and services to the automotive industry spans more than four decades. Mr. Hewitt resides near Louisville, Kentucky with his family.

* Dr. David Sadler was age 65 at the time of his first appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors on September 1, 2013. Since 1987, Dr. Sadler had served as a Partner in a private practice of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery in Longview, Texas. Born, reared and educated in Texas, Dr. Sadler co-founded the Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery programs at two Longview, Texas hospitals where he practiced for the past twenty years. He also co-founded Longview Thoracic and Cardiovascular Associates of Longview, Texas where he was a Managing Partner. Dr. Sadler received his Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University in 1970 and served his General and Vascular Surgery Residency along with his Cardiovascular and Thoracic Residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Sadler received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas in 1974. In an 8-K dated June 13, 2014 the Company sadly announced the untimely passing on June 2, 2014 of Dr. Sadler from natural causes. At the time of his passing, Dr. Sadler also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Natural Citrus Products Corporation and was a Managing Member of Alarma Patents, LLC.

Committees of the Board of Directors

On March 7, 2014, the Company appointed various directors to committees and the chairs thereof as follows: V. Weldon Hewitt, Danny R. Gibbs and Dan Rigdon were duly appointed to serve as the members of the Corporation’s Compensation Committee with V. Weldon Hewitt being named the Chairman of said Committee; Danny R. Gibbs, Dr. David Sadler, and Steven L. Sample were duly appointed to serve as the members of the Corporation’s Primary Committee as designated in the Corporation’s Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, with Danny R. Gibbs designated as the Plan Administrator and Chairman of such Committee; Dan Rigdon, Danny R. Gibbs, and Dr. David Sadler were duly appointed to serve as the members of the Corporation’s Audit Committee with Dr. Sadler being designated as the Committee’s Chairman and designated as its Financial Expert; and, Dan Rigdon, V. Weldon Hewitt, and Steven L. Sample were duly appointed to serve as the members of the Corporation’s Nominating Committee, with Dan Rigdon being named the Chairman of said Committee.

As a result of the untimely passing of Director David Sadler on June 2, 2014 as reported in an 8-K dated June 13, 2014, and as a further result of the fact that Dr. Sadler was a member of the Company’s Audit Committee and its Chairman and Financial Expert, we consider that committee to be incomplete and ineffective and as such we do not currently have an audit committee. Therefore, shareholders will have to rely on the entire board of directors to perform these functions until a full Audit Committee and chairman is empowered to sit.

Further to Dr. Sadler’s passing, the Company considers the loss of his sitting on the Primary Committee for administration of its 2012 Stock Incentive Plan to have rendered that committee incomplete and ineffective, and as such we do not currently have a Primary Committee for administration of our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. Therefore, shareholders will also have to rely on the entire board of directors to perform these functions until a full committee is empowered to sit.

Three members of the board of directors are considered to be independent directors, but the fourth, its Chairman, is an officer and is not considered to be independent. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that the board member who is also part of management will participate in discussions concerning issues that may affect management decisions.

Code of Ethics

Given that the Company has had only limited operating history, the Company has not adopted a Code of Ethics for the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

There were no common stock options or warrants awarded in 2014 or 2013.

Director Compensation

Since February 1, 2007, directors of the Company have served without compensation except under the Acacia Automotive, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan adopted on that same date for which each non-employee director of the Company was granted an option to acquire an initial 10,000 shares of common stock upon his appointment or election to the board, and 15,000 additional options were granted upon election to a full term and annually thereafter. On December 30, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors suspended the issuance of options as compensation to its directors effective January 1, 2011, and as such issued no options as director compensation from that time through December 31, 2014.

On October 28, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors voted to resume the issuance of common stock options to directors as compensation effective January 1, 2014, but took no action in that year to issue any options. As such, the Company did not issue any common stock purchase options in 2014 and 2013. No new options have been issued under either Plan for any reason since 2010.

At the board of directors meeting held on February 1, 2007, the Company adopted a new stock incentive plan.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

In 2006 the board of directors named Gwendolyn Sample as the Company’s assistant secretary and on February 1, 2007, granted her an option to acquire 5,000 shares of Common stock for $0.01 per share. On November 6, 2009, the Company granted her options to purchase 20,000 shares for $0.10 per share, and on December 23, 2010, she was awarded options to acquire 10,000 additional shares at $0.60 per share. Ms. Sample is the spouse of Steven L. Sample. In addition, the board of directors awarded L. Palmer Sample, an IT and MIS professional, 10,000 shares of restricted common stock for work performed in installing and maintaining the company’s computer network system as well as creating, hosting, and maintaining the Company’s e-mail system and Internet web site. On November 2, 2007, he was awarded 10,000 options to purchase common stock for $0.80 per share, on November 6, 2009, was granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock for $0.10 per share, and on December 23, 2010 was awarded 10,000 options to purchase Common stock at $0.60 per share. In 2013, Palmer Sample also installed a new computer server for financial and accounting uses for the Company in Ocala, Florida, and performs services maintaining those systems. Palmer is the son of Steven L. Sample and Gwendolyn G. Sample. Mr. Sample’s spouse and his son disclaim any beneficial ownership by Mr. Sample of any securities they own, and they disclaim any beneficial ownership of any securities he owns.

Table of Contents

Mr. Sample became CEO of the Company in 2006. On many occasions since that time he has personally borrowed funds for the benefit of and use by the Company, and has pledged his own assets in personally guaranteeing various lines of credit, loans, notes, and obligations for the Company. In addition to those actions geared to the direct benefit of the Company and its liquidity, he has also borrowed on his own accounts to mitigate extended periods when the Company has deferred payment of his salary and expenses as a means to help the Company conserve cash and maintain liquidity. Mr. Sample disclaims any beneficial ownership of any securities owned by others, and disclaims any beneficial ownership by others of any securities he owns.

Director Independence

We believe that, in accordance with the Company Guide of the American Stock Exchange, that Messrs. Gibbs, and Rigdon are independent directors, those two individuals being a majority of our current Board of Directors. As an employee-officer and director of the Company, Mr. Sample is not considered to be independent. However, as of December 31, 2014, the Company did not have an independent Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, or Nominating Committee by virtue of the fact that its independent board members were only appointed in September of that year and committees and chairs had not yet been appointed.

Conflicts of Interest.

The Company and its management may be subject to various conflicts of interest. The Company’s management is not independent, yet the Company relies solely on management for guiding its day-to-day operations and managing its assets. As such, certain employees may have conflicts of interest in allocating time, services and functions to the Company in deference to their other activities.

The Company’s Secretary, a non-salaried position, is employed full-time in Nashville, Tennessee in a diverse business. The Company makes only light demands on its Secretary, who is not expected to give substantial time to the affairs of the Company.

The Company has no other full-time corporate officer except for its President and CEO, who devotes the majority of his business time and efforts to the management and direction of the Company and its subsidiaries. The President and CEO of the Company also serves as a director of the Company as well as having served as an officer and director of the Company’s subsidiary corporations. Service in those capacities with the subsidiaries is not considered to constitute a conflict of interest on the part of employees, managers, or directors. The Company’s President and CEO continues to serve in those capacities as of December 31, 2014. As such, there is not now, nor has there previously been considered to be, any material conflict of interest on his part. However, the CEO of the Company may reasonably be expected to have or gain other affiliations, associations, or ownership interests in other entities which could under certain conditions be considered to be conflicts of interest.

Any investment in the Company will not carry with it the right to invest in any other property or venture of the CEO or other officers, employees, and directors of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc.

Ocala, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over consolidated financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 10. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

Acacia Diversified Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Acacia” or the “Company”), on July 10, 2013 acquired assets that are utilized in the manufacture of citrus peel byproducts. The Company began manufacturing operations in December of 2013 in Fort Pierce, Florida.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The Company has elected to prepare its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) with December 31, as its year-end. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

CONSOLIDATION – The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Citrus Extracts, Inc. (CEI) and Acacia Transport Services, Inc. (ATS). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES - Preparing the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method. All inventories reported by the Company are finished goods inventories. We segregate inventories into our two discernible product lines of organic and non-organic products.

Inventories at December 31 consisted of the following:

	2014		2013
Organic Inventories	$	34,761	$	-
Non- Organic Inventories		32,885		-
	$	67,646	$	-

REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized on the sale of products when they are delivered to the customers.

ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – Allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is estimated based on the aging of the accounts receivable and management estimate of uncollectible amounts. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were no bad debts.

EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES – Equipment and vehicles are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which are generally three to fifteen years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $99,819 and $52,765, respectively.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company has maintained cash balances at financial institutions which have at times exceed federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any material losses in such accounts.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accounts payable in 2014 included amounts due to vendors and service providers that were assumed by the Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary under the terms of the asset purchase agreement of July 2013 in which it acquired certain assets and liabilities of Red Phoenix Extracts.

FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES – In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 (ASC 820) is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 (ASC 820) applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements.

The Company measures its options and warrants at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 (ASC 820). SFAS 157 (ASC 820) specifies a valuation hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
	Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when estimating fair value. The fair value of the options at December 31, 2014 and 2013, was as follows:

	Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Total

Year Ended December 31, 2014
2014 Stock Options	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Year Ended December 31, 2013
2013 Stock Options	$	-	$	2,831	$	-	$	2,831

Options were valued using the Black-Scholes model.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

RECLASSIFICATIONS – Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts, so that the prior year’s presentation is comparative with the current year’s presentation.

COMPENSATED ABSENCES - The Company has not accrued a liability in accordance with FAS 43 (ASC 710), as the amount of the liability cannot be reasonably estimated at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and does not include the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Potential common shares are not included in the computation of loss per share, as their effect is antidilutive.

INCOME TAXES - The Company files federal, state and foreign income tax returns in accordance with the applicable rules of each jurisdiction. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and local income taxes currently payable, as well as deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable amounts in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. In accordance with ASC 740, we recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized 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 the change in judgment occurs. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets.

ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $1,244 and $10,014, respectively.

CONTINGENCIES - Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is possible that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

In the normal course of business, the Company also enters into various other guarantees and indemnities in its relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers and others. These guarantees and indemnifications do not materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, and indemnifications associated with the Company’s actions generally have no dollar limitations and currently cannot be quantified.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION - The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123(R)") to account for stock-based compensation under ASC 718 and ASC 605, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Codification requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award at the grant date. An additional requirement of ASC 718 is that estimated forfeitures be considered in determining compensation expense. Estimating forfeitures did not have a material impact on the determination of compensation expense in 2014 and 2013. ASC 718 requires cash flows resulting from tax deductions from the exercise of stock options in excess of recognized compensation cost (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. This requirement had no impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows in 2014 and 2013, as no options were exercised. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, the Company issued no stock awards to employees and issued no stock options or warrants in 2014 or 2013.

The Black-Sholes model assumptions in previous calculations included:

Expected volatility – Actual changes in the market value of stock are used to calculate the volatility assumption. An increase in the expected volatility will increase compensation expense.

The fair values of options issued are being amortized over the respective vesting periods (primarily four years). The amortized cost recognized for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $2,831. There is no future amortization of the fair value of options.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS – In accordance with ASC Topic360-10-05, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company evaluates the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and definite-lived assets whenever a change in circumstances indicates that the carrying value may not be recoverable from the undiscounted future cash flows from operations. If an impairment exists, the net book values are reduced to fair values as warranted.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS – The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From 2007 through the end of its fiscal 2010, the Company granted 10,000 common share stock purchase options to each of its outside directors upon their appointment in accordance to the Acacia Automotive, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, 15,000 common share purchase options were granted to each eligible director for each year of elected annual service to the Company, as well as other options for services on committees of the board of directors or for acting as chairs thereof. On December 30, 2010, the Company’s board of directors voted to temporarily suspend director compensation, including the issuance of common stock purchase options, to its members effective January 1, 2011. That suspension of director compensation has not yet been terminated. As such, the Company did not issue any common stock purchase options in 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 4 - EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method at rates intended to depreciate the costs of assets over their estimated useful lives. Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, the cost of the disposed assets and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had only limited liquid assets and limited revenues from its new Citrus Extracts, Inc. subsidiary. As such, and without substantially increasing revenue or finding new sources of capital, the Company will find it difficult to continue to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company has been successful in establishing high production levels with its organic and non-organic food grade ingredient citrus products, but has been slower to fully develop a market for its more valuable organic products. There is a lag period between identifying potential customers for the Company’s products and actual sale and delivery of those products. Buyers of these products must be identified, contacted, provided with samples for testing, provided with product certifications, and allowed to then see if their clients find a need for our products. If so, then the client may require milling of the products info various sizes, special packaging to their specifications, and allowing time for shipping of the products to their locations. Those processes are often lengthy and drawn out, particularly when relating to the food industry. While the Company’s Citrus Extracts subsidiary has sold considerable quantities of its organic and non-organic products, it is anticipated that it may take as long as a year or more to develop selling channels sufficient to insure the sale of its entire annual production of its food grade ingredient products.

As a result, any current inability by the Company to sell and deliver all its finished product inventories without lengthy holding periods will only serve to exacerbate cash flow concerns until the sales pipeline fills. While the inventory supplies, if sold, are quite sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs on a consolidated basis, these factors raise some doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s immediate plans to increase liquidity include increasing production, which began at the beginning of 2014, selling all its inventories of products in a reasonable time frame following production, attempting to start new businesses or to find additional operational businesses to buy, and possibly attempting to raise funds from the public through a stock offering. Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop all these sources of funds, but there can be no assurance that Management’s plans will be successful.

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Accordingly, the Company evaluated subsequent events through May 20, 2015, the date the financial statements were issued, and determined that there were no other items to disclose.
