ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

PotNetwork Holdings, Inc., (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in 1996 as H P Capital Corp. The Company redomiciled in Wyoming in 2004 and changed its name to My Medical CD, Ltd. From May 2016 to March 2017, the Company was known as SND Auto Group, Inc. In 2017, the Company redomiciled in Colorado, and changed its name to PotNetwork Holdings, Inc.

 

On March 3, 2017 the Company acquired via reverse triangular merger 100% of the ownership interest of the privately-held First Capital Venture Co., a Florida corporation. First Capital Venture Co. is the owner of Diamond CBD, Inc. selling numerous CBD Oil products at both wholesale and retail. Pursuant to the Share Exchange and Reorganization Agreement, the First Capital Venture Co. shareholders exchanged their shares which they held in First Capital Venture Holdings Co. for an aggregate total of 50,000 Class A preferred shares in the Company, wherein the shareholders would own 100% of this class of stock of the Company (the “Class A Preferred Shareholders”), which in the aggregate conferred voting control of the Company. First Capital Venture Co. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as result of the transaction.

 

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 8, 2017, the Company acquired all the capital stock of PotNetwork Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PMG”), in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock issued to the shareholders of PMG, and the cancellation of a $50,000 promissory note between the Company and PMG. As a result, PMG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. PMG is the owner of the website www.potnetwork.com.

 

The Company has six (6) wholly-owned subsidiaries, two of which are inactive:

 

 

· First Capital Venture Co., a Florida corporation which has as its wholly-owned subsidiary, Diamond CBD, Inc., a Delaware corporation

 

 

 

 

· PotNetwork Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation

 

 

 

 

· Blockchain Crypto Technology Corp., a Colorado corporation

 

 

 

 

· Grinder Distribution, Inc., a Florida corporation

 

 

 

 

· PNH Holdings, Inc., an inactive Colorado corporation

 

 

 

 

· SND Auto Group, Inc., an inactive Colorado corporation

 

Existing Products

 

The Company’s primary operational business is conducted through its subsidiary, First Capital Venture Co., whose subsidiary, Diamond CBD, Inc. (“Diamond CBD”) is engaged in the development and sales of hemp-derived CBD oil containing products. Hemp-derived CBD products have a wide range of potential health and wellness supporting applications which have been increasingly validated by leading medical organizations.

 

Today, hemp-derived CBD oil containing products are increasingly being used to reduce pain, soothe anxiety, fight cancer, improve mood, eliminate depression, prevent inflammatory arthritis, protect the immune system, balancing the metabolism, aid sleep disorders, and balance the skin, among many other uses.

Hemp-derived CBD is distinguishable from CBD derived from marijuana. Hemp-derived CBD does not contain THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Marijuana is regulated under the Controlled Substances Act. We do not believe that our hemp-derived CBD products are regulated under the Controlled Substances Act, but under the Agricultural Act of 2014, known as the “Farm Bill”, which provides for the domestic cultivation of “industrial hemp”, and begins with the clause “Notwithstanding the [Controlled Substances Act] . . .”, thus indicating that “industrial hemp” is not to be treated as a controlled substance.

 

Diamond CBD’s products are marketed under 15 brand names, including “Diamond CBD”, ‘Chill”, “Relax”, “MediPets” and the premium “Meds BioTech” label, as well as many others. In total, Diamond CBD offers over 800 products in variations by flavor, concentration and size that are sold over a nationwide distribution network of over 550 distributors and resellers that sell to thousands of brick-and-mortar retailers and online merchants. The overall product line, because of its size, is constantly in flux as new products are added and products are culled based on several factors including, but not limited to, consumer acceptance, inventory levels, and replacement as the result of incremental improvement.

 

While most of Diamond CBD's products are geared to human health and wellness, its “MediPets” product line is a 100% natural and organic cannabinoid oil-based health and wellness solution for dogs and cats. Along with the company's Pet CBD Food for small, medium, large dogs and cats, these products offer pet owners a new way to support their pet's mood and wellness in a non-invasive, non-toxic way. The global pet care industry is expected to reach $110 billion in 2017, according to Euromonitor Research (The State Of Global Pet Care: Trends And Growth Opportunities, September 2017). Technavio, a leading market research firm, recently analyzed the global pet care industry and forecasted a CAGR of 5% between 2016-2020 (Global Pet Dietary Supplements Market 2018-2022, March 2018). According to that report, rising pet ownership combined with increased consumer spending on premium natural and organic pet care products are fundamental factors driving that growth.

 

Diamond CBD also offers for sale a majority of its products direct to consumers via its website, http://www.diamondcbd.com/.

 

Diamond DBD’s products are grouped in the following categories:

 

 

·

Flavored and unflavored CBD oils in varying concentrations

 

 

 

 

· Vaping pens and additives

 

 

 

 

· Edibles such as chewable “gummies”, crumble “dabs”, and other edible forms

 

 

 

 

· Beverage energy/relaxation “shots”

 

 

 

 

· CBD topical application creams in varying concentrations (including the premium “Meds BioTech” brand)

 

 

 

 

· Pet (dog and cat) wellness products in various dosages and delivery formats (the “MediPets” brand)
 

Consumer markets served by Diamond CBD are extensive. In terms of geography, the products are sold wherever legal and the Company stipulates to its distribution channels that the products may only be sold to end-user persons eighteen years of age or older (See Item 1A “Risk Factors” for a further explanation of the laws regarding the sale of hemp-derived CBD products). Initially the Company focused distribution on market segments receptive to hemp-derived CBD products, such as vape shops and various countercultural focused retail outlets. Distribution was expanded greatly throughout 2017 as the result of investment in new products and channel marketing (e.g., product catalogues and sell sheets, trade show and conference attendance, channel specific sales force), resulting in a vast broadening of distribution footprint and accelerated market growth, market penetration and revenue generation. For example, with the addition of specialized product lines, such as Meds BioTech and MediPets, the Company has been able to enter into new market segments such as vitamin/supplement shops, fitness centers, wellness practitioners of various disciplines, pet supply stores, and veterinary channels.

The strategic intent of the marketing plan in 2017 and 2018, has been to create a defendable “marketing wall” around distribution channels and retail outlets to keep competition out. The Company has spent in excess of $3,000,000 in marketing. In parallel with distribution strategies, the Company has embraced various cause-related marketing initiatives in association with non-profit entities in order to position itself as socially conscious and concerned with overall health and fitness and is engaged in select target market consumer awareness and brand preference campaigns.

 

New Product Pipeline and Scientific Advisory Board

 

In July 2017, Diamond CBD initiated the formation of its “Scientific Advisory Board” which as of the date of this report is comprised of over half a dozen physicians and research scientists representing a variety of practice disciplines, under the chairmanship of the Company’s CEO, Richard Goulding, M.D. The Scientific Advisory Board is charged with exploring the health and wellness benefits of hemp-derived CBD oil, its uses, and potential new applications.

 

Product Formulation and Production

 

Under written purchase orders, Diamond CBD outsources most of its product formulation, quality testing, production and packaging to commercial suppliers, which, as the situation may require, hold the necessary regulatory and other licenses/permits specific to each one’s activity. For certain categories of products, Diamond CBD outsources fulfillment as well. Any and all raw materials constituting active ingredients in its products are routinely tested by a third-party laboratory for purity and consistency of active ingredient concentration. The Company owns its own propriety formulas to all its products which it regards as trade secrets, and continuously is engaged in both new product development and product incremental improvement with its suppliers.

 

Sales Channels

 

In addition to selling its products directly to consumers from its website, Diamond CBD, and indirectly the Company, depends upon its network of distributors and resellers to represent its product in various markets. During 2017, the Company signed 550 distributors across the U.S. which distribute to thousands of points of retail distribution. No single distributor represents more than 10% of the Company’s aggregate sales volume. The Company is continuously evaluating the performance of its distributors and sales channels and periodically restructures or updates its agreements and methods of distribution. For European sales, Diamond CBD has recently established a foreign distribution center in Watford, United Kingdom.

 

The Markets for Our Products

 

Market research firm, Brightfield Group, estimates that the CBD oil industry is growing at a rate of 55% year over year and projects that the U.S. domestic market for CBD oil products will total a minimum of $1 billion by 2020 (Forbes, August 23, 2017).

 

Hemp-derived CBD products are becoming “mainstream” as the health and wellness benefits of such products grow in consumer and medical and clinical practice acceptance.

 

Competition

 

Currently, in the United States, there are no businesses that can demonstrate or claim a dominant market share of the growing CBD products market. Competition, outside those companies that provide THC containing CBD in states where that is allowed under state law, is limited to numerous small and mid-size health supplement brands and related general health and fitness brands. Overall, there are no major pharmaceutical manufacturing companies marketing into this market at this time, although the Company is expecting such an entry in the future. Competition also includes many small regional marketers/packagers of CBD oil containing products that have limited distribution and economic resources.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. An investor should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in this registration statement before investing in our common stock. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks.

 

We may become subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

 

The FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act regulates the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution and sale of drugs, food, including dietary supplements, and over-the-counter drugs. We believe our hemp-derived CBD containing products are dietary supplements, not drugs. We have not obtained and do not plan to obtain FDA approval of our hemp-derived CBD containing products. As a result, we could be subject to enforcement proceedings by the FDA.

 

We have a limited operating history and operate in a new industry, and we may not succeed.

 

The consumer products business is a highly competitive and risky business, and such competition from companies much bigger than us could adversely affect our operating results.

 

We compete with many national, regional and local businesses. We could experience increased competition from existing or new companies in our channel, which could create increasing pressures to grow ours. If we are unable to maintain our competitive position, we could experience downward pressure on prices, lower demand for our products, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities and the loss of channel share, which would have an adverse effect on our operating results. Other factors that could affect our business are:

 

 

· Consumer tastes

 

· National, regional or local economic conditions

 

· Disposable purchasing power

 

· Demographic trends; and

 

· The price of special ingredients that go into our products.

Table of Contents

  

Increases in the cost of ingredients, labor and other costs could adversely affect our operating results.

 

Our principal products contain hemp-derived CBD oil. Increases in the cost of ingredients in our products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Significant price increases, market conditions, weather, acts of God and other disasters could materially affect our operating results. An increase in our operating costs could adversely affect our profitability. Factors such as inflation, increased labor and employee benefit costs and increased energy costs may adversely affect our operating costs. Many of the factors affecting costs are beyond our control and we may not be able to pass along these increased costs to our customers.

 

We do not have long-term contracts with many of our suppliers, and as a result they could seek to increase prices or fail to deliver.

 

We typically do not rely on written contracts or long-term arrangements with our suppliers. Although we have not experienced significant problems with our suppliers, our suppliers may implement significant price increases or may not meet our requirements in a timely fashion, if at all. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

Any prolonged disruption in the operations of any of our packaging facilities could harm our business.

 

Any prolonged disruption in the operations of any facilities that perform our packaging, whether due to technical or labor difficulties, destruction or damage to the facility, real estate issues or other reasons, could result in increased costs and reduced revenues and our profitability and business results could be harmed.

 

Loss of key personnel or our inability to attract and retain new qualified personnel could hurt our business and inhibit our ability to operate and grow successfully.

 

Our ability to successfully grow our brand depends on our ability to attract and retain professionals with talent, integrity, enthusiasm and loyalty to our corporate team. If we are unable to attract or retain key personnel, our profitability and growth potential could be harmed.

 

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, which could harm the value of our brand and branded products and adversely affect our business.

 

We depend in large part on our brand and branded products as well as on our proprietary processes and believe that they are very important to our business. We rely on a combination of trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and similar intellectual property rights to protect our brand and branded products. The success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing trademarks in order to increase brand awareness and further develop our branded products in both domestic and international markets. We have registered, or will register, certain trademarks in the United States and may elsewhere. We may not be able to adequately protect our trademarks and our use of these trademarks may result in liability for trademark infringement, trademark dilution or unfair competition. We may from time to time be required to institute litigation to enforce our trademarks or other intellectual property rights, or to protect our trade secrets. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect our sales, profitability and business results regardless of whether we are able to successfully enforce our rights.

 

Our annual and quarterly financial results are subject to significant fluctuations depending on various factors, many of which are beyond our control, which could adversely affect our ability to satisfy our debt obligations as they become due.

 

Our sales and operating results can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

 

 

· Variations in the timing and volume of our sales

 

· The timing of expenditures in anticipation of future sales

 

· Sales promotions by us and our competitors

 

· Changes in competitive and economic conditions generally

 

· Foreign currency exposure

Table of Contents

 

Consequently, our results of operations may decline quickly and significantly in response to changes in order patterns or rapid decreases in demand for our products. We anticipate that fluctuations in operating results will continue in the future. The Company's operating results may vary. We may incur net losses. The Company expects to experience variability in its revenues and net profit. While we intend to implement our business plan to the fullest extent we can, we may experience net losses. Factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among other things:

 

 

· The general economy

 

· The regulatory environment pertaining to our products

 

· Climate, seasonality and environmental factors

 

· Consumer demand

 

· Transportation costs

 

· Competition in products

  

You should further consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages. For example, unanticipated expenses, problems, and technical difficulties may occur and they may result in material delays in the operation of our business, in particular with respect to our new products. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment.

 

We may require additional capital to finance our operations in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed and could be dilutive to existing stockholders.

 

We may require additional capital for future operations. We plan to finance anticipated ongoing expenses and capital requirements with funds generated from the following sources:

 

 

· Cash provided by operating activities

 

· Available cash and cash investments

 

· Capital raised through debt and equity offerings

 

Current conditions in the capital markets are such that traditional sources of capital may not be available to us when needed or may be available only on unfavorable terms. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, many of which are outside our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully raise additional capital at all or on terms that are acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, it may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Further, if we raise capital by issuing stock, the holdings of our existing stockholders will be diluted.

 

If we raise capital by issuing debt securities, such debt securities would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation. In addition, we may raise capital by issuing equity securities that may be senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Finally, upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities and shares of preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock, or both.

Table of Contents

 

Our stock price has been extremely volatile, and our common stock is not listed on a national stock exchange; as a result, stockholders may not be able to resell their shares at or above the price paid for them.

 

The market price of our common stock as has been historically volatile and could be subject to significant fluctuations due to changes in sentiment in the market regarding our operations or business prospects, among other factors. Further, our common stock is not listed on a national stock exchange; we intend to list the common stock on a national stock exchange once we meet the entry criteria. An active public market for our common stock currently exists on the OTC Markets (www.otcmarkets.com) but may not be sustained. Therefore, stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at or above the price they paid for them.

 

Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

 

 

· Industry trends and the business situation of our suppliers

 

· Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and operating results and operating results that vary from the expectations of our management or of securities analysts and investors

 

· our failure to meet the expectations of the investment community and changes in investment community recommendations or estimates of our future operating results

 

· Announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions, dispositions, financings, product developments and other materials events by us or our competitors

 

· Regulatory and legislative developments

 

· Litigation

 

· General market conditions

 

· Other domestic and international macroeconomic factors unrelated to our performance

 

· Changes in key personnel

 

Sales by our stockholders of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

A substantial portion of our total outstanding shares of common stock may be sold into the market at any time, or a substantial portion of our total outstanding shares of preferred stock may be converted to common stock and sold into the market at any time. Some of these shares are owned by the management of the Company, and we believe that such holders have no current intention to either convert their preferred stock into common stock or to sell a significant number of shares of their common stock into the market. If all of the major stockholders were to decide to sell large amounts of stock over a short period of time such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.

 

Our financial statements may not be comparable to those of other companies.

 

Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of The JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates, and our stockholders and potential investors may have difficulty in analyzing our operating results if comparing us to such companies.

 

The success of our new and existing products and services is uncertain.

 

We have committed, and expect to continue to commit, significant resources and capital to develop and market existing product enhancements and new products. We cannot assure you that we will achieve market acceptance for all of our products, or of new products that we may offer in the future. Moreover, these new products may be subject to significant competition with offerings by new and existing competitors. In addition, new products and enhancements may pose a variety of challenges and require us to attract additional qualified employees. The failure to successfully develop and market these new products or enhancements could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

 

Our business is dependent upon continued market acceptance by consumers.

 

We are substantially dependent on continued market acceptance of our products by consumers. Although we believe that our products in the United States are gaining increasing consumer acceptance, we cannot predict that this trend will continue in the future.

 

As we expand our operations, we may be unable to successfully manage our future growth.

 

Since inception, our business has grown. This growth has placed substantial strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources. If we are able to continue expanding our operations in the United States and in other countries where we believe our products will be successful, as planned, we may experience periods of rapid growth, which will require additional resources. Any such growth could place increased strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources, and we will need to train, motivate, and manage employees, as well as attract management, sales, finance and accounting, international, technical, and other professionals. In addition, we will need to expand the scope of our infrastructure and our physical resources. Any failure to expand these areas and implement appropriate procedures and controls in an efficient manner and at a pace consistent with our business objectives could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Any future litigation could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, particularly since we do not currently have director and officer (“D&O”) insurance. Our lack of insurance may also make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers. While we intend to apply for D&O insurance, we cannot guarantee that such application will be accepted.

 

Despite our significant efforts in product quality control, we face risks of litigation from customers and others in the ordinary course of business, which may divert our financial and management resources. Any adverse litigation or publicity may negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Claims of illness or injury relating to product quality or handling are common in the consumer products industry. While we believe our processes and high standards of quality control will minimize these instances, there is always a risk of occurrence, and so despite our best efforts to regulate quality control, litigation may occur. In that event, our financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be harmed.

 

From time to time we may be subject to litigation, including potential stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. To date we have no directors and officers liability ("D&O") insurance to cover such risk exposure for our directors and officers. Such insurance generally pays the expenses (including amounts paid to plaintiffs, fines, and expenses including attorneys' fees) of officers and directors who are the subject of a lawsuit as a result of their service to the Company. While we intend to attempt to obtain such insurance, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so at reasonable rates or at all, or in amounts adequate to cover such expenses should such a lawsuit occur. While neither Colorado law nor our articles of incorporation or bylaws require us to indemnify or advance expenses to our officers and directors involved in such a legal action, we expect that we would do so to the extent permitted by Colorado law. Without D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action based on their service to the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Further, our lack of D&O insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business.

Our prior operating results may not be indicative of our future results.

 

You should not consider prior operating results with respect to revenues, net income or any other measure to be indicative of our future operating results. The timing and amount of future revenues will depend almost entirely on our ability to sell our products to new customers. Our future operating results will depend upon many other factors, including:

 

 

· The level of product and price competition,

 

· Our success in expanding our distribution network and managing our growth,

 

· Our ability to develop and market product enhancements and new products,

 

· The timing of product enhancements, activities of and acquisitions by competitors,

 

· The ability to hire additional qualified employees, and

 

· The timing of such hiring and our ability to control costs.

 

Our current Board of Directors consists of only one person

 

Gary Blum is our sole officer and director.

 

We do not have any outside Board Directors which could create a conflict of interests and pose a risk from a corporate governance perspective.

 

Our Board of Directors consists of only one director, which means that we have no outside or independent directors. The lack of independent directors may prevent the Board from being independent from management in its judgments and decisions and its ability to pursue the Board responsibilities without undue influence. For example, an independent Board can serve as a check on management, which can limit management taking unnecessary risks. Furthermore, the lack of independent directors creates the potential for conflicts between management and the diligent independent decision-making process of the Board. Furthermore, our lack of outside directors deprives our company of the benefits of various viewpoints and experience when confronting the challenges we face. With no independent director sitting on the Board of Directors, it will be difficult for the Board to fulfill its traditional role as overseeing management.

 

Requirements associated with being a reporting public company will require significant company resources and management attention.

 

We have filed a Form 10 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Once the Form 10 becomes effective, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the other rules and regulations of the SEC relating to public companies. We are working with independent legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as an SEC reporting company. These areas include corporate governance, internal control, internal audit, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal control over financial reporting. However, we cannot provide assurances that these and other measures we may take will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as an SEC reporting company on a timely basis.

 

 
11
 
Table of Contents

 

In addition, compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to SEC reporting companies will create additional costs for the Company and will require the time and attention of management and may require the hiring of additional personnel and legal, audit and other professionals. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur, the timing of such costs or the impact that our management's attention to these matters will have on our business.

 

Our preferred shareholders have voting control.

 

As of March 3, 2017, the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have voting control over the Company. As a result, they have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:

 

 

· Election of our board of directors;

 

· Removal of any of our directors;

 

· Amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws; and

 

· Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.

 

Our preferred stock may have rights senior to those of our common stock which could adversely affect holders of common stock.

 

Our articles of incorporation give our Board of Directors the authority to issue additional series of preferred stock without a vote or action by our stockholders. The Board also has the authority to determine the terms of preferred stock, including price, preferences and voting rights. The rights granted to holders of preferred stock in the future may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock. Any such authorized class of preferred stock may have a liquidation preference - a pre-set distribution in the event of a liquidation - that would reduce the amount available for distribution to holders of common stock or superior dividend rights that would reduce the amount of dividends that could be distributed to common stockholders. In addition, an authorized class of preferred stock may have voting rights that are superior to the voting right of the holders of our common stock.

 

We are an emerging growth company and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common stock may be less attractive to investors.

 

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies, but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, a requirement to present only two years of audited financial statements, an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure about executive compensation arrangements pursuant to the rules applicable to smaller reporting companies and no requirement to seek non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements, although some of these exemptions are available to us as a smaller reporting company (i.e. a company with less than $75 million of its voting equity held by affiliates). We have elected to adopt these reduced disclosure requirements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of our taking advantage of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of our choices, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We intend to retain our future earnings, if any, in order to reinvest in the development and growth of our business and, therefore, do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Accordingly, investors may need to sell their shares of our common stock to realize a return on their investment, and they may not be able to sell such shares at or above the price paid for them.

 

We can sell additional shares of common stock without consulting stockholders and without offering shares to existing stockholders, which would result in dilution of existing stockholders' interests in the Company and could depress our stock price.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 448,921,254 are outstanding as of June 30, 2018; 50,000 shares of series A preferred stock, of which 45,151 shares are outstanding as of June 30, 2018. Moreover, our Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our common stock and preferred stock. Although our Board of Directors intends to utilize its reasonable business judgment to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to our then existing stockholders in connection with any future issuance of our capital stock, the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock convertible into common stock would cause immediate, and potentially substantial, dilution to our existing stockholders, which could also have a material effect on the market value of the shares.

 

Because we will be subject to “penny stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

 

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver to its customers a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market prior to carrying out a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules.

 

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may also limit your ability to buy and sell our stock, which could depress our share price.

 

FINRA rules require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, depressing our share price.

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Registration Statement. Of these policies, we believe that the following items are the most critical in preparing our financial statements.

Table of Contents

  

USE OF ESTIMATES: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION – DIAMOND CBD BUSINESS

 

 

· Sales are recognized when the sale proceeds are credited to the bank account during the year.

 

 

 

 

· At each year end, the sales invoices are reviewed and based on the subsequent receipt of payments and are accounted as sales to comply with the matching principle of considering the expenses and revenues of the same year. Such book entries are reversed in the following year.

 

 

 

 

· For online sales, merchandise is not shipped unless and until the customer pays for it.

 

 

 

 

· For orders received over the phone, the merchandise will not ship unless and until the customer pays for it.

 

 

 

 

· Sales on credit terms are exceptional and requires the customer to establish the credit.

 

 

 

 

· Revenue transactions represent the actual merchandise shipped to the customers as drop shipments.

 

 

 

 

· The revenue recorded in the books are net of sales and other taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities.

 

 

 

 

· The revenue includes shipping and handling costs which are generally included in the sale invoices.

 

 

 

 

· Revenue is recognized when the title, ownership and risk of loss transfers, which is usually on the date of shipment.

 

 

 

 

· Provision for discounts, when applicable, are stated in the sales invoice and used to determine the net of sales for each such invoice.

 

 

 

 

· Returns are accounted as a reduction of sales when the returns are authorized.

 

o

The customers enjoy free returns of unopened items within 15 days of purchase.

 

o

Free return labels are provided, meaning that the Company pays for the shipping cost for the returns by the customers.

 

o

The customers can easily initiate the returns online in the Company website.

 

o

Experienced professional staff reviews the selling price on an ongoing basis.

 

o

Exceptions are reviewed and approved by the manager.

 

o

Sales return are insignificant and hence no reserves are provided.

 

 

· Trade promotions such as sale prices, coupons, etc. are offered to the customers on various occasions as part of marketing and sales promotion. In all such cases, sales are recorded net of trade promotions, which is generally incurred at the time of sale. Most of the arrangements are for a year or less. Expected payouts are not estimated and hence accounted as and when incurred.

 

 

 

 

·

Most of the sales are charged to the customers’ credit cards. Though there is a delay of 10 business days to receive the credit to the Company’s bank account, the sales are accounted as revenue based on the charge to the customers’ credit card but recorded as receivable. Also, the Company is subjected to 10% reserve for 90 days. 

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at the written-down value [that is, after deducting depreciation from the cost]. The Company adapted the depreciation rates as provided in the IRS publications, using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). Computers and office equipment are considered as 5-year property. Office furniture and fixtures are 7-year property in MACRS and apply the 200% declining balance method over a GDS recovery period.

ITEM 4. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

As of July 9, 2018, we had 464,921,254 common shares outstanding. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our shares of common stock beneficially owned as of July 9, 2018, for (i) each stockholder known to be the beneficial owner of five percent (5%) or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each named executive officer and director, and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, voting and investment power relating to the shares shown in the table for our directors and executive officers is exercised solely by the beneficial owner or shared by the owner and the owner’s spouse or children.

 

For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the date of this Registration Statement.

Penny Stock Considerations

 

Our shares will be "penny stocks", as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

 

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.

 

In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:

 

 

· Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

 

 

 

 

· Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

 

 

 

 

· Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

 

 

 

 

· Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities.

 

Our shares are subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

On March 3, 2017 the Company acquired via reverse triangular merger 100% of the ownership interest of the privately-held First Capital Venture Co., a Florida corporation. First Capital Venture Co. is the owner of Diamond CBD, Inc., which sells numerous CBD oil products at both wholesale and retail. Pursuant to a Share Exchange and Reorganization Agreement, the First Capital shareholders exchanged their shares which they held in First Capital Venture Co. for an aggregate total of 50,000 Class A Preferred shares in the Company, wherein the shareholders would own 100% of this class of stock of the Company (the “Class A Preferred Shareholders”), which in the aggregate conferred voting control of the Company. First Capital Venture Co. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as result of the transaction. The Class A Preferred shares were issued pursuant to the exemption for registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 8, 2017, the Company acquired all the capital stock of PotNetwork Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PMG”), in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock issued to the shareholders of PMG, and the cancellation of a $50,000 promissory note between the Company and PMG. As a result, PMG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. PMG was the owner of the website www.potnetwork.com. The common stock issued in the transaction were issued pursuant to the exemption for registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value. As of July 9, 2018, we had outstanding 464,921,254 shares of common stock. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share held and have the sole right and power to vote on all matters on which a vote of stockholders is taken. Voting rights are non-cumulative. Common stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefore and to share pro rata in any distribution to stockholders. Upon liquidation, dissolution, or the winding up of our Company, common stockholders are entitled to receive the net assets of our Company in proportion to the respective number of shares held by them after payment of liabilities which may be outstanding. The holders of common stock do not have any preemptive right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class of stock of the Company. The outstanding shares of common stock will not be subject to further call or redemption and are fully paid and non-assessable. To the extent that additional common shares are issued, the relative interest of existing stockholders will likely be diluted.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance by resolution of our Board of Directors of up to 50,000 shares of Class A preferred stock. As of July 9, 2018 we had 44,227 shares of Class A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Class A preferred stock is convertible into 0.0018% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock at the time of conversion. Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the sum obtained by using the following quotient: (x) the sum of all outstanding shares of common stock, plus the sum of the number of votes of all other outstanding shares of stock, including any preferred stock that may be outstanding, plus the sum of the votes of all other financial instruments outstanding which may be entitled to vote on any such matter, divided by (y) 0.9. Class A shareholders are not entitled to dividends paid to common shareholders and are not entitled to any assets of the Company upon liquidation.

ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

The Colorado Business Corporation Act (the “CBCA”) generally provides that a corporation may indemnify a person made party to a proceeding because the person is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: the person’s conduct was in good faith; the person reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that such conduct was in the corporation’s best interests, and, in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful. The CBCA prohibits such indemnification in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the person was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding in which the person was adjudged liable for having derived an improper personal benefit. The CBCA further provides that, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding. In addition, a director or officer, who is or was a party to a proceeding, may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. The CBCA allows a corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director.

 

As permitted by the CBCA, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws generally provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the CBCA. In addition, the Company may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer who is not a director to a greater extent, not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by its bylaws, general or specific action of the Company’s board of director or shareholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of PotNetwork Holdings Inc

 

Opinion: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PotNetwork Holdings Inc (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of these years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as of the years then ended, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for these years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

We have also audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the year then ended, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report of even dated, express an unqualified opinion on the Company’s Internal Control over financial reporting.

 

Basis of Opinion: These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. Federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters: The management listed the critical audit matters as note 16 in the notes on accounts. They are the matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. These critical audit matters do not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by referring the critical audit matters, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

NOTES ON ACCOUNTS

Year ended 31st December 2017

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

On 3rd March 2017, Potnetwork Holding Inc was reincorporated following its acquisition of First Capital Venture Co. which was a Florida Profit Corporation, incorporated on 27th Feb. 2015. Coinciding with that event, the Company entered a triangular merger pursuant Colorado law, which is the financial and substantive equivalent to that set forth in “Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law”.

 

Potnetwork Holdings Inc was previously known as below:

 

 

· Formerly=SND Auto Group, Inc. until 3-2017

In 2017, Diamond CBD business was the sole business activity of this company. SND Auto Group Inc. having become dormant at the end of 2016. All other subsidiaries are in the early development stage. Hence, the financial statements reflect principally the business results of Diamond CBD business.

 

In February 2018, the company amended the terms and conditions of the January 2017 merger such that certain effects specific to its similarity with a reorganization under Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation law were reversed. As a result, the company reassumed its prior name, Potnetwork Holdings, Inc. (with an “s” on Holding), while remaining a Colorado corporation. For all practical purposes the merger of the entities involved was not affected and maintained the share capital structure from the merger.

 

Since January 2016, Gary Blum serves as sole director and CEO. In October 2017, Richard Goulding MD joined as the Chief Executive Officer.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS: The statements were prepared following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America consistently applied.

 

 

USE OF ESTIMATES: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION – DIAMOND CBD BUSINESS

  

 

· Sales are recognized when the sale proceeds are credited to the bank account during the year.

 

· At the year end, the sales invoices are reviewed and based on the subsequent receipt of payments and are accounted as sales to comply with the matching principle of considering the expenses and revenues of the same year. Such book entries are reversed in the following year.

 

· For online sales, merchandise is not shipped unless and until the customer pays for it.

 

· For orders received over the phone, the merchandise will not ship unless and until the customer pays for it.

 

· Sales on credit terms are exceptional and requires the customer to establish the credit.

 

· Revenue transactions represent the actual merchandise shipped to the customers as drop shipments.

 

· The revenue recorded in the books are net of sales and other taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities.

 

· The revenue includes shipping and handling costs which are generally included in the sale invoices.

 

· Revenue is recognized when the title, ownership and risk of loss transfers, which is usually on the date of shipment.

 

· Provision for discounts, when applicable, are stated in the sales invoice and used to determine the net of sales for each such invoice.

 

· Returns are accounted as a reduction of sales when the returns are authorized

  

 

· The customers enjoy free returns of unopened items within 15 days of purchase.

 

· Free return labels are provided, meaning that the company pays for the shipping cost for the returns by the customers.

 

· The customers can easily initiate the returns online in the company website.

 

· Experienced professional staff reviews the selling price on an ongoing basis.

 

· Exceptions are reviewed and approved by the manager.

 

· Sales return are insignificant and hence no reserves are provided.

 

 
F-7
 
 

  

 

· Trade promotions such as sale prices, coupons, etc. are offered to the customers on various occasions as part of marketing and sales promotion. In all such cases, sales are recorded net of trade promotions, which is generally incurred at the time of sale. Most of the arrangements are for a year or less. Expected payouts are not estimated and hence accounted as and when incurred.

  

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

 

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at the written-down value [after deducting the depreciation from the cost]. This company adapted the depreciation rates as provided in the IRS publications, using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). Computers and office equipment are considered as 5-year property Office furniture and fixtures are 7-year property in MACRS and apply the 200% declining balance method over a GDS recovery period. Where possible, section 179 depreciation is also applied.

 

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

  

 

o Initial Measurement: Intangible asset acquisitions in which the consideration given is cash are measured by the amount of cash paid, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition. However, if the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of noncash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement is based on either the cost which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is clearer and, thus, more reliably measurable.

 

 

 

 

o Subsequent Measurement: The company accounts for its intangible assets under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic (“ASC”) 350-30-35 “Intangibles-- Goodwill and Other--General Intangibles Other than Goodwill-Subsequent Measurement”. Under this method the company is required to test an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment on at least an annual basis. This is done by comparing the asset’s fair value with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value, the difference in those amounts is recognized as an impairment loss. The company impaired the trade-mark as of December 31, 2015.

 

INCOME TAXES: The company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the estimated tax effects of future deductible or taxable amounts attributed to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The standard also allows recognition of income tax benefits for loss carryforwards, credit carryforwards and certain temporary differences for which tax benefits have not previously been recorded. Valuation allowances are provided for uncertainties associated with deferred tax assets.

 

 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.

  

 
F-8
 
 

  

 

Level 2:

Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

 

 

 

Level 3:

Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.

 

 

 

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of this instrument. In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 “Fair Value Option” was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

 

Investments in subsidiaries: The triangular merger in Jan 2017 is a holding company reorganization. The company did not make any payment in cash or check for this acquisition. In other words, there is no cost for company in acquiring the shares of the wholly owned subsidiary in this triangular merger. Hence, the company has recorded the value of the investments in this wholly owned subsidiary as provided in ASC 323

 

 

Redemption Right: The terms and conditions of the Note has a clause for redemption right, which reads as, “Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary including the conversion rights as set forth in this section, the company shall be entitled, at any time prior to the expiration of five days from any notice of conversion, to repay this Note in full, plus interest, minus the credit accorded from prior payments, including from prior conversions, and avoid any further Note conversion and thus avoid the issuance of any additional shares of the Potnetwork Holdings Inc .” By this clause, no derivative liability exists.

  

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements are prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

Receivables from our customers as on the balance sheet date, are less than 30 days old.

 

As the company has no uncertainties as on the balance sheet date, the financial statements need no adjustments.

 

Since the DiamondCBD business is from 2015, it is considered as a business with limited operating history. Hence, this business is subject to all risks inherent in a developing business enterprise. Continued success depends on the problems, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in the competitive and regulatory environment in which it operates.

 

As a new industry, there are no established entities whose business model Diamond CBD can follow or build on the success of.

 

Regulatory risk: Hemp-based CBD are often confused with marijuana-based CBD which remains illegal under federal Law.

 

Although Diamond CBD does not sell any marijuana-based CBD products, its products could be confused as being illegal by federal/state authorities and by consumers.

 

 
F-9
 
 

 

The company is involved in a highly competitive industry where it may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than the company does. Such resources, experience and personnel may provide a substantial competitive advantage to the competition.

 

NOTE 4 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

With the accumulated losses carried forward, no provision for tax liability has been made in the financial statements. Net operating loss carry-forward, expires twenty years from the date the loss was incurred.

 

Deferred Tax Computation: The company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

There was no income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

The tax rates were as follows:

 

Federal

 

 

34 %

As of the current balance sheet date, the company has a net operating loss carryforward of $2,275,848.

 

However, the availability of a net operating loss carryforward and the associated deduction, is subject to complex and restrictive federal income tax provisions as codified by Internal Revenue Code section 172 and related Treasury Regulations, all of which are subject to change in the availability of which can never be free from doubt.

 

NOTE 5 - INVENTORY – DIAMOND CBD

 

This company has arranged to buy the exact quantity from the suppliers, based on the customer orders and thereby has eliminated the need for holding inventory on hand at any point of time.

 

Otherwise, this company values the inventory at the lower of cost or market.

 

This company has been successfully handling the shipping as expeditiously as possible, despite the high quantity of its order volume. In effect, the marketing plan drawn by the company’s team requires adequate arrangements, requiring advance bookings for the expositions, etc. including the travel arrangements. This eats up more and more working capital by way of prepayments for marketing arrangements with merchants.

 

In addition, this company pays for the drop shipments, based on the sales orders. However, the drop shipments to the customers are in transit for a week or more until the tracking numbers are obtained and sent to the customers to obtain the payment from the customer.  

 

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: There are no commitments and contingencies that exist at present.

NOTE 15 – MANAGEMENT ASSERTIONS ON THE 2 COURT CASES

 

 

Mammoth West Corporation filed a civil case in the 19th Circuit court in Lake County, IL [case# 17 CH 778] with reference to the Note dated 13 June 2016. As of 31 Dec 2017, this Company owes $7,280. Plaintiff claims conversion request as of 28 March 2017 on which date the market closed as 0.64, while it was 0.04 on 3/22/17 and was 0.03 on 4/12/17. The Plaintiff has carefully chosen the highest rate in the historical prices in the claim. Management intends to ask for a trial. Though the Company is likely to win this case, the Company may end up issuing more shares for this conversion, which in effect shall not affect the financials at any point of time in dollar value.

 

 

 

 

Southridge Partners filed a civil case in the District court in Connecticut on 5 Jan 18 [Case# 3:17-cv-01925] with reference to the Note dated 18 July 2016. As of 31 Dec 2017, this Company owes $26,000. Plaintiff claims conversion request as of 28 March 2017 on which date the market closed as 0.0135. The plaintiff is contemplating a request for a trial. Though this Company is likely to win in this case, the Company may end up issuing more shares for this conversion, which in effect shall not affect the financials at any point of time in dollar value.

  

NOTE 16 – MANAGEMENT ASSERTIONS ON CRITICAL AUDIT MATTERS

 

 

Budget and variance analysis: This company prepared the annual budget and reviewed the variances for the year 2017. However, the audit suggested quarterly variance analysis. Hence, this company started preparing the quarterly variance analysis for Q-1 of 2018.

 

 

 

 

Delay in Tax filing: As pointed out by the audit, this company filed Form 4506-T requesting a Transcript of Tax Returns. By engaging a tax-practitioner, the returns will now be filed.

 

 

 

 

Payment processing system: In 2017, this company established the payment processing system with 3 level hierarchy providing for the internal control procedures. Also, within the same system, segregation of duties was the key to assure effective controls. However, the volume of transactions [30,000+ sales invoices; and 11,000 payments in 2017] caused time delay in the completion of the audit, due to the need for matching the related bills, invoices, etc. Going forward to increase efficiency and reduce audit time, this company is considering the use of sophisticated software which provides the attachment of bills and invoices to every transaction.

 

 

 

 

Drop shipments: The reconciliation of quantity sold as per the sales invoices with the payments made to the vendors were prepared for each quarter. However, the audit requires more. For example, the tracking of every sale’s invoice to the suppliers’ invoices. Here again, the volume is the constraint for matching each manually. Hence, this company is therefore evaluating specialized software to address this challenge.

 

 

 

 

Paperless office: This company is committed to the concept of paperless office. However, it impacted the audit trail, which relies on linking/tracing the documents manually. Again, use of computer software is being sought as a solution.

 

 

 

 

Diamond CBD business was started in 2015 as a private business. On acquisition, this company continued to follow the same procedures when it was a private Company. However, as a public Company, must comply with the audit requirements which includes formal real property ownership or leases for using the facilities. Per history, Diamond CBD business used informally rented space for several of its activities which now, because of audit requirements, require formal rental or lease agreements. This company is currently addressing these issues.

 

 

 

 

Absence of hand book and manuals: To date the development of formal hand books and manuals was not necessary. However, going forward, to comply with audit requirements, this company will develop the said materials.

 

 
F-13
 
 

  

 

Balance confirmations from Banks: This company gave all the bank statements, as a download from the online banking portals. However, the audit requires balance confirmations from the banks, which letters were faxed/mailed to the banks. As the nearby branches of these banks do not provide this service, this company is unable to obtain the same by calling the 1-800 numbers, despite the many follow up calls.

 

 

 

 

Sunrise Auto Mall Inc was a private business and was merged in 2015, by exchange of shares among the related shareholders for which there is no agreement in the company name. Since the auto sale business was closed in 2016, the share exchange agreement among the shareholders were misplaced and hence, not shared with the audit team.

 

 

 

 

Triangular merger agreement: This multi-document, complex, interrelated agreement remains under study by the audit team, who have accepted the legality of its presentation based on written legal opinion.

 

 

 

 

Absence of permanent folders for all the corporate filings: This company has a history of more than two decades of filings with the Secretary of State of 3 different states. The audit required a separate folder for various filings indexed. The concept of paperless office ended up with the document storage in different computers. Realizing the audit requirement, this company started organizing these documents in the cloud, which can be easily shared with the audit team.

 

 

 

 

Minutes of the meetings: The note from the audit is that the minutes were not kept as a minute book but were shared in the PDF file format. Continuity and ordering sequentially was not followed. Realizing the importance from the audit point of view, this company is organizing all the minutes, indexing the date of minutes.

 

 

 

 

10-K format with MD&A data: As an SEC non-reporting OTC Company, the preparation and filing of 10-K’s is not a legal requirement.

 

 

 

 

Separate accounting books for the Holding Company: The audit looked at the holding company and the subsidiaries as different entities and hence required separate accounting books and records for each entity. Since the end of Medical Treatment Centers’ business, the holding Company did not make any payments. Instead, the wholly owned subsidiaries made the payments for and on behalf of the holding company and each maintained their own accounting books and records. Hence, the holding company did not maintain separate books. When the audit required separate accounting books, this company prepared it immediately, by recording the 6 journal entries for 2017.

 

 

 

 

Supporting documents for the share transfer activities recorded by the share transfer agent: This company obtained the capitalization report and shared it with the audit. But the audit is concerned about the file index for the supporting documents.

 

 

 

 

Compatibility issues: For the 6 journal entries for 2017, used the quick books desk top edition which the audit could not open it due to compatibility issues.

 

 

 

 

Sunrise Auto Mall Inc and after merger, SND Auto Group Inc, maintained the books in Quick Books Online. Due to inactivity for 18 months, access to the online system is locked and could not be retrieved. Consequently, these records were inaccessible to meet this audit requirement.

 

 

 

 

Additional Paid in Capital: The audit wanted clarification for $263,131 without any issuance since the middle of 2016. Requests for share issuances are awaited.

 

 

 

 

Despite the pictorial presentation of the group structure, the audit team continued to have questions on past name changes and their references.

 

 

 

 

Confirmation of balances for receivables: This company is caught in between the audit requirement and the customer privileges, especially for the sales online. Though the details of online sales, payments and tracking numbers were provided, but failed to ask confirmation from the customers, specifically relating to the last week of the year end, which is a holiday period.

 

 

 

 

Agreements for marketing activities: Booking the space for a trade show, reserving the space for advertisement in a magazine, etc. as part of marketing efforts, often happens without signed agreements.

On January 31, 2017, this Company acquired First Capital Venture Co., the parent of Diamond CBD, Inc. (“Diamond CBD”), www.diamondcbd.com, the producers and marketers of hemp-derived CBD oil products, as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

SND Auto Group Inc., formed on 14th March 2017 as a pre-owned vehicle auto dealership, as a successor to Sunrise Auto Mall Inc., a Florida Profit Corporation established in April 2014, is another wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

PotNetwork Media Group Inc, a Nevada corporation, the owner and operator of www.Potnetwork.com as a digital business magazine focusing on the cannabis industry, was acquired under a stock purchase agreement and is another wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Grinder Distribution Inc., a distributor of herbal grinders, is an another wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Since the acquisition of First Capital Venture Co., the focus is the development of the business of Diamond CBD, Inc. SND Auto Group Inc. is dormant since October 2016. All other subsidiaries are in the early development stage. Hence, the financial statements reflect principally the business results of the Diamond CBD business.

 

Diamond CBD, Inc. focuses on the research, development, and multi-national marketing of premium hemp extracts that contain a broad range of cannabinoids and natural hemp derivatives.

 

Diamond CBD’s 94-page catalog can be found in http://catalog.diamondcbd.com.

 

 
F-19
 
 

  

In 2017, Diamond CBD’s business was the sole business activity of this Company.

 

In February 2018, the Company reversed and unwound the March 17, 2017 merger and share exchange holding company reorganization. As a result, the Company reassumed its prior name, PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (with an “s” on Holding), while remaining a Colorado corporation. None of the acquisitions or the share capital structure was affected.

 

Since January 2016, Gary Blum has served and continues to serve as sole director and CEO. In October 2017, Richard Goulding MD joined PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. as its Chief Executive Officer.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS: The statements were prepared following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America which were consistently applied.

 

 

USE OF ESTIMATES: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION – DIAMOND CBD BUSINESS

  

 

· Sales are recognized when the sale proceeds are credited to the bank account during the year.

 

· At each year end, the sales invoices are reviewed and based on the subsequent receipt of payments and are accounted as sales to comply with the matching principle of considering the expenses and revenues of the same year. Such book entries are reversed in the following year.

 

· For online sales, merchandise is not shipped unless and until the customer pays for it.

 

· For orders received over the phone, the merchandise will not ship unless and until the customer pays for it.

 

· Sales on credit terms are exceptional and requires the customer to establish the credit.

 

· Revenue transactions represent the actual merchandise shipped to the customers as drop shipments.

 

· The revenue recorded in the books are net of sales and other taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities.

 

· The revenue includes shipping and handling costs which are generally included in the sale invoices.

 

· Revenue is recognized when the title, ownership and risk of loss transfers, which is usually on the date of shipment.

 

· Provision for discounts, when applicable, are stated in the sales invoice and used to determine the net of sales for each such invoice.

 

 
F-20
 
 

  

 

·

Returns are accounted as a reduction of sales when the returns are authorized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

· The customers enjoy free returns of unopened items within 15 days of purchase.

 

 

· Free return labels are provided, meaning that the Company pays for the shipping cost for the returns by the customers.

 

 

· The customers can easily initiate the returns online in the Company website.

 

 

· Experienced professional staff reviews the selling price on an ongoing basis.

 

 

· Exceptions are reviewed and approved by the manager.

 

 

· Sales return are insignificant and hence no reserves are provided.

  

 

· Trade promotions such as sale prices, coupons, etc. are offered to the customers on various occasions as part of marketing and sales promotion. In all such cases, sales are recorded net of trade promotions, which is generally incurred at the time of sale. Most of the arrangements are for a year or less. Expected payouts are not estimated and hence accounted as and when incurred.

 

· Most of the sales are charged to the customers’ credit cards. Though there is a delay of 10 business days to receive the credit to the Company’s bank account, the sales are accounted as revenue based on the charge to the customers’ credit card but recorded as receivable. Also, this Company is subjected to 10% reserve for 90 days.

  

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

 

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at the written-down value [that is, after deducting depreciation from the cost]. This Company adapted the depreciation rates as provided in the IRS publications, using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). Computers and office equipment are considered as 5-year property. Office furniture and fixtures are 7-year property in MACRS and apply the 200% declining balance method over a GDS recovery period. Wherever possible, section 179 depreciation is also applied.

 

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

  

 

o Initial Measurement: Intangible asset acquisitions in which the consideration given is cash are measured by the amount of cash paid, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition. However, if the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of noncash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement is based on either the cost which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is clearer and, thus, more reliably measurable.

 

 

 

 

o Subsequent Measurement: The Company accounts for its intangible assets under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic (“ASC”) 350-30-35 “Intangibles-- Goodwill and Other--General Intangibles Other than Goodwill-Subsequent Measurement”. Under this method the Company is required to test an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment on at least an annual basis. This is done by comparing the asset’s fair value with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value, the difference in those amounts is recognized as an impairment loss. The Company impaired the trade mark as of December 31, 2015.

  

INCOME TAXES: The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under this standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the estimated tax effects of future deductible or taxable amounts attributed to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The standard also allows recognition of income tax benefits for loss carryforwards, credit carryforwards and certain temporary differences for which tax benefits have not previously been recorded. Valuation allowances are provided for uncertainties associated with deferred tax assets.

 

 
F-21
 
 

  

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.

 

 

 

 

Level 2:

Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

 

 

 

Level 3:

Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.

 

 

 

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of this instrument. In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 “Fair Value Option” was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

   

Investments in subsidiaries: The March 17, 2017 reorganization is sometimes referred to as a holding Company reorganization. The Company did not make any payment in cash or check in connection with the reorganization. Hence, the Company has recorded the value of the investments in this wholly owned subsidiary as provided in ASC 323.

 

 

Redemption Right: The terms and conditions of the Note held by Sign N Drive contains a redemption right, which reads as, “Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary including the conversion rights as set forth in this section, the Company shall be entitled, at any time prior to the expiration of five days from any notice of conversion, to repay this Note in full, plus interest, minus the credit accorded from prior payments, including from prior conversions, and avoid any further Note conversion and thus avoid the issuance of any additional shares of PotNetwork Holdings, Inc.” By this clause, no derivative liability exists.

  

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements are prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

Since PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. has no uncertainties as on the balance sheet date, the financial statements need no adjustments.

 

Since Diamond CBD’s business originated in 2015, it is considered as a business with limited operating history. Hence, this business is subject to all risks inherent in a developing business enterprise. Continued success depends on the problems, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in the competitive and regulatory environment in which it operates.

 

 
F-22
 
 

  

Since the CBD business is a burgeoning industry, there are no established entities whose business model Diamond CBD can follow or build upon.

 

Regulatory risk: Hemp-based CBD is often confused with marijuana-based CBD which remains illegal under federal Law, although the Company maintains that its products are legal. Yet, this legal risk cannot be ignored.

 

Although Diamond CBD does not sell any marijuana-based CBD products, its products could be treated as being illegal by federal/state authorities and by consumers.

 

The Company is involved in a highly competitive industry where it may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than the Company does. Such resources, experience and personnel may provide a substantial competitive advantage to the competition.

 

NOTE 4 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

With the accumulated losses carried forward, no provision for tax liability has been made in the financial statements. Net operating loss carry-forward, expires twenty years from the date the loss was incurred.

 

Deferred Tax Computation: The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

There was no income tax expense during this quarter. However, the availability of a net operating loss carryforward and the associated deduction, is subject to complex and restrictive federal income tax provisions as codified by Internal Revenue Code section 172 and related Treasury Regulations, all of which are subject to change and the availability of which can never be free from doubt.

NOTE 5 - INVENTORY – DIAMOND CBD

 

This Company has arranged to buy the exact quantity from the suppliers, based on the customer orders and thereby has eliminated the need for holding inventory on hand at any point of time.

 

Otherwise, this Company values the inventory at the lower of cost or market.

 

This Company has been successfully handling the shipping as expeditiously as possible, despite the high quantity of its order volume. In effect, the marketing plan drawn by the Company’s team requires adequate arrangements, requiring advance bookings for the expositions, etc. including the travel arrangements. This consumes more and more working capital by way of prepayments for marketing arrangements with merchants.

 

In addition, this Company pays for the drop shipments, based on the sales orders. However, the drop shipments to the customers are in transit for a week or more until the tracking numbers are obtained and sent to the customers to obtain the payment from the customer.

 

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: There are no commitments and contingencies that exist at present.

NOTE 15 – Management Assertions on the 2 court cases regarding Convertible Promissory Notes of Predecessor

 

 

Mammoth West Corporation [case# 17 CH 778, 19th Circuit Court of Lake County, IL] and Southridge Partners II Limited Partnership [case# 3:17-cv-01925, Connecticut] each filed a civil complaint with regard to its convertible promissory note (each referred to as a “Note”). In each instance, the Note was issued not by the Company, but by the Company’s predecessor issuer, SND Auto Company Inc. (which predecessor issuer had changed its name before changing it back to SND Auto Group, Inc.). The Note was issued by SND Auto Company Inc., on June 13, 2016 and on July 18, 2016, respectively, for money paid to SND Auto Company Inc., at a time in which SND Auto Company Inc. was the public Company, operating in the automobile industry. However, on March 14, 2017, SND Auto Company Inc. formed the Company and engaged in a holding Company reorganization whereby the Company became the public entity while SND Auto Company Inc., became its subsidiary. The holding Company reorganization was an express condition of First Capital Venture Holdings Co., which is the parent Company to Diamond CBD, Inc. being acquired by the Company and thereby entering into the CBD oil business. The acquisition would not have occurred without the holding Company reorganization. Following this acquisition and the holding Company reorganization, and following the Company becoming the public entity, the stock price increased significantly. In other words, the CBD oil company stock price (the Company, i.e., PotNetwork Holdings, Inc.) was much greater than the stock price of the automobile Company (SND Auto Company Inc.). The plaintiff invested in an automobile Company, not in the CBD oil business. Yet, plaintiff wants to convert its Note issued by the automobile company into shares of the CBD oil Company, which was not the maker of the Note. As of December 31, 2017, SND Auto Company Inc., not the Company, owed Mammoth West Corporation $7,280 and Southridge Partners II Limited Partnership $26,000, on the Notes, which obligations were never disputed by SND Auto Company Inc. (which SND Auto Group, Inc. agreed to pay each, in full). The Company has maintained that these were not debts of the Company, and the holding Company reorganization was engaged in in order to assure as much, not in order to avoid payment, but instead, in order to isolate this debt from the new CBD oil business, SND Auto Company Inc. being a separate and distinct legal entity with its own assets and debts. However, on February 7, 2018, the Company and its predecessor issuer, SND Auto Company Inc., unwound the March 14, 2017 holding Company reorganization. As a consequence of that unwinding, Company’s counsel agrees that the Company, the public entity, became liable for this SND Auto Group, Inc. Notes, but only as of the February 7, 2018 rewinding, not prior thereto. So at this point, the dispute between the parties surrounds the conversion price. In each case, the terms of the Note entitle the plaintiff, as holder, to convert into shares of the maker’s common stock. On March 28, 2017 and on April 24, 2017, the conversion notice in each case was issued, not to SND Auto Group, Inc., the maker, but to the Company, for shares of the Company’s common stock. The terms of the Note entitle the plaintiff to payment in cash or in shares of the maker (SND Auto Group, Inc.), at a discount of 65% of the lowest trading price of the preceding 30 trading days. Instead, however, the plaintiff has throughout, sought to convert into shares of the Company, at a fraction of a penny per share, or approximately 2,700,000 shares in each instance (as opposed to approximately 56,000 shares in each instance), of the Company, based on SND Auto Group, Inc.’s share price, when SND Auto Group, Inc. was the public Company, and prior to the Company even being in existence, let alone being public. It is the Company’s position that the Company only became obligated for the Note (which is the obligation of the maker, SND Auto Group, Inc.), upon the unwinding of the reorganization, or as of February 7, 2018, when the Company’s stock price was considerably higher (and therefore obligated to issue far fewer shares in satisfaction of the conversion notice) than it was prior to the holding Company reorganization and the acquisition of First Capital Venture Holdings Co. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this claim. The Company is confident in its position.

7.2. Seal: The seal of the Corporation shall be in such form and shall have such content as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine.

 

7.3. Notice and Waiver of Notice: Whenever any notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting of the stockholders, Directors or a committee is required to be given under the law of the State of Colorado, the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice whether before or after the holding thereof, or actual attendance at the meeting in person or, in the case of any stockholder, by his attorney-in-fact, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice to such persons.

 

7.4. Indemnity: The Corporation shall indemnify its Directors, Officers and employees to the fullest extent allowed by law, provided, however, that it shall be within the discretion of the Board of Directors whether to advance any funds in advance of disposition of any action, suit or proceeding, and provided further that nothing in this section 7.4 shall be deemed to obviate the necessity of the Board of Directors to make any determination that indemnification of the Director, Officer or employee is proper under the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 of the Colorado General Corporation Law.

 

7.5. Fiscal Year: Except as from time to time otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on December 31.
