FARMHOUSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO QUARTERLY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Organization
The Company was incorporated in June 2013 as Somerset Transition Corporation under the Oklahoma General Corporation Act. In September 2013, the Company was redomesticated in Maryland and changed its name to Somerset Property, Inc. In July 2017, the Company was redomesticated in Nevada and changed its name to Revival, Inc. In June 2019, the Company changed its name to Farmhouse, Inc. to reflect its new business endeavors.
In August 2019, the Company acquired Farmhouse, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Farmhouse Washington”) as its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Acquisition”). The financial statements of the Company are the continuation of Farmhouse Washington with the adjustment to reflect the capital structure of the Company. The consolidated financial statements also includes Farmhouse DTLA, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Farmhouse Washington (“DTLA”). DTLA is party to certain litigation. See Note 9.
Current Operations
The Company is a technology company with multiple cannabis related divisions and IP, including the WeedClub® Platform, the @420 Twitter handle and a Web3 division. The WeedClub® Platform is a cannabis social network platform that enables industry professionals to connect, discover products and services and scale their businesses. Within the WeedClub® Platform, members utilize an increasing set of technology-based tools for discovering professional connections and information. The Company’s @420 Twitter handle serves as a public platform to engage with cannabis enthusiasts. The Company’s Web3 division, launched in December 2021, facilitates licensing opportunities between established cannabis brands and influential digital collectible holders to launch digital collectible branded products and accessories.
Memorandum of Understanding
On May 17, 2024, the Company executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) which establishes the framework for a proposed acquisition of all membership interests of Thrown, LLC (“Thrown”). Thrown, operating under the brand Nappy Boy Dranks, is a joint venture beverage firm led by T-Pain, the Grammy Award-winning artist, professional gamer, and entrepreneur (“T-Pain”). Thrown’s premier product, T-Pain’s GamerShot, is a zero-crash, focus-enhancing functional esports beverage, featuring a proprietary Nootropic Energy Blend and conveniently packaged in 2-ounce servings.
The MOU provides for consideration to Thrown of a) equity deposit of $75,000 in Company shares, subject to lockup and specific return conditions, b) cash compensation contingent on the Company raising $5-$10 million in equity financing, c) equity compensation involving issuance of 5,130,000 shares to Thrown, d) expense reimbursement up to $100,000 for organizational and operating expenses, e) license payment of $50,000 to Nappy Boy Dranks, LLC, and f) additional shares based on sales milestones to be negotiated.
While the MOU outlines the parties’ intent to negotiate in good faith a definitive agreement while highlighting certain binding terms regarding exclusivity and confidentiality, it does not guarantee that the transaction will be completed. The parties are committed to negotiating in good faith and working towards a definitive agreement, but there are many variables and conditions that must be met for the transaction to close successfully. Therefore, there is no assurance that the MOU will result in a final agreement or that the transaction will be consummated.
Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the parties agreed to a price per share of the Company’s stock of $0.40 and the Company issued 187,500 shares of common stock to Thrown as the equity deposit of $75,000 as provided in the MOU. The fair market value of the stock on July 6, 2024 was $0.1396 or $26,175. See Note 12.
Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss from operations of $
The Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of its common stock, loans and advances from Company officers, and loans from third parties. The Company intends to finance its future working capital needs from these sources until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. Management believes that loans and advances from Company officers, funds raised from the sale of its common stock, and funds raised from loans with third parties allow the Company sufficient capital for operations and to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principals of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Farmhouse Washington and DTLA (together the “Company”). All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and earnings have been eliminated in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Financial Statement Reclassification
Certain amounts from the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s classifications.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 included cash in banks. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity dates within 90 days at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Report have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and do not include all of the information or disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.
Use of Estimates
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Significant estimates include convertible debt, deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowance and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Receivables are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and determine the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of factors. When we become aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, a specific allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, reducing the receivable to the net amount we reasonably expect to collect. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, one licensee represented 100% of the receivable balances of $1,610 and $4,170, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC No. 606, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following five revenue recognition criteria are met: identify the contract with the client, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenues when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated revenues of $4,154 and $5,203, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company generated
revenues of $1,893 and $4,134, respectively. Revenues are from license fees in connection with NFT Art License Agreements, whereby the licensee is granted a limited license from the Company to use one of its licensed NFT’s for the purpose of creating, marketing, and selling branded cannabis and hemp products and accessories. The Company’s performance obligation is met upon granting the customer access to its licensed NFT’s. The Company recognizes license revenues or royalties when the subsequent sale of the cannabis and hemp products and accessories by the licensee occurs. The amount of license revenue or royalties recognized is based on a percentage of the sales price of the licensee’s sales of its cannabis and hemp products and accessories. Fees are due the month after customer sales occur. One licensee accounted for 90% and 100% of license revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The corresponding costs of revenues associated with license revenues were $1,874 and $2,601 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $744 and $2,066 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, Earnings per Share – Overall – Other Presentation Matters. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that we incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.
All dilutive common stock equivalents are reflected in our net income (loss) per share calculations. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents are not included in our loss per share calculations. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has not yet adopted that they believe are applicable or would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

The Series 2023 Notes shall be automatically converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 75.8% of (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the tenth trading day, for a Market Forced Conversion, or (ii) the offering price of the Company’s common stock, for an Offering Forced Conversion.
The conversion price shall equal the sum of the principal amount of the Series 2023 Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest on such notes, plus default interest, if any, on the notes. The conversion price is subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions, and similar events.
Assuming the Series 2023 Notes are not mandatorily converted by Market Forced Conversion or Offering Forced Conversion, as discussed above, the Series 2023 Notes will mature as follows:

·On May 17, 2024, the Board granted Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) totaling 340,000 shares of common stock under the Omnibus Incentive Plan that was approved in May of 2021. See Note 8.
·On May 28, 2024, the Company issued 62,500 shares of common stock to an unrelated third party in connection with a Subscription Agreement priced at $0.40 per share for cash proceeds of $25,000.

There were no common stock transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Shares Reserved
The Company is required to reserve and keep available of its authorized but unissued shares of common stock an amount sufficient to affect shares that could be issued in connection with the conversion of the convertible note payable (see Note 3) and its Series 2023 Notes (see Note 5). The convertible note payable and Series 2023 Notes are not convertible as of June 30, 2024 and do not become convertible until future events occur, at which time the conversion price will be determined. Therefore, the number of shares these convertible securities are convertible into are not determinable and no shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan
In May 2021, the Board approved the Farmhouse, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 OIP”). The 2021 OIP permits the granting of Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Other Stock-Based Awards and Cash-Based Awards. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the 2021 OIP is 3,000,000. Stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s common stock outstanding ratified the 2021 OIP by written consent.
Any options to be granted under the 2021 OIP may be either “incentive stock options,” as defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code, or “non-statutory stock options,” subject to Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code, at the discretion of the Board and as reflected in the terms of the written option agreement. The option price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the optioned common stock on the date the option is granted. The option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the optioned common stock for an optionee holding at the time of grant, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company. Options become exercisable based on the discretion of the Board and must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant (five years from date of grant for Company employees and directors).
Any restricted stock awards to be granted under the 2021 OIP are issued and measured at fair market value on the date of grant and become vested in various monthly or quarterly installments from the date of grant, subject to the recipient remaining in the Company’s service on specified vesting dates. Vesting of restricted stock awards is based solely on time vesting. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized as the shares vest with a corresponding offset credited to additional paid-in-capital.

NOTE 9 – LITIGATION
In August 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, DTLA, entered into a Strategic Consulting Agreement (the “SCA”) with a medical marijuana growing, and retail company that now goes by the name Los Angeles Farmers, Inc. (“LAFI”). In October 2017, DTLA commenced litigation in Los Angeles County Superior Court (Case #BC681251) against LAFI and David and Irina Vayntrub, who were the sole officers, directors, and members of LAFI, seeking to enforce its contract rights under the SCA. In January 2020, following more than a year of discovery, DTLA entered into a confidential settlement with the Vayntrubs, however, the case continued against LAFI. In April 2021, an Arbitrator overseeing the arbitration hearing issued a judgment in favor of DTLA and against LAFI (the “DTLA Judgment”). The DTLA Judgment awarded 49% of LAFI to DTLA as of November 2017, along with a share of any profits from November 2017. In January 2022, DTLA requested that the Arbitrator order the sale of LAFI to an independent third party in order to allow any judgment to be paid to DTLA. In August 2022, a receiver was appointed by the Court to assume control of LAFI. In April 2024, the sale of LAFI was completed by the receiver. As of the date of this report, it is doubtful, but still uncertain, as to whether DTLA will recover anything from the sale of LAFI.

Corporate Overview
We are a holding company with multiple divisions dedicated to connecting professionals and brands in the legal cannabis industry. We are built on two core competencies–trust and connection. Our divisions provide solutions that leverage our trusted brand and facilitate valuable connections across the cannabis industry. We connect the industry through multiple divisions including Farmhouse Vault, the @420 brand
and @420 Twitter, and the WeedClub® Platform. Our @420 brand and @420 Twitter serve as trusted, influential properties that enable the Company to connect, promote and advocate for the industry. We will continue to serve as a leading boutique connection platform and branch its well-known brand into more IP licensing relationships continuously. Expanding Farmhouse Vault to license community-driven IP in the music industry is currently underway.
Farmhouse Divisions
Each division solves a unique problem within an industry navigating state-by-state regulations and an uncertain federal regulatory landscape. This environment has created a fragmented cannabis market that emphasizes the importance of a trusted facilitator to make value-added connections across the supply chain in our industry.
·@420. Our consumer-facing brand and Twitter handle (with over 100,000 followers) serve as an influential brand that connects us with the greater public. Our Twitter handle enables the NFT division to forge valuable connections in the space and work with established projects.
·WeedClub®. Weedclub is one of the first social networks for cannabis professionals with over 5,000 members, generating thousands of valuable connections. WeedClub is an established presence in the cannabis industry that people trust to make valuable connections. As we continue to expand our operations, WeedClub members benefit immensely from the added potential connections.
·Web3 division (“Vault”): Our newest division that connects cannabis brands with licensing opportunities with influential IP holders and communities to develop new brands that appeal to digitally-native consumers.
Current and Future Plan of Operations
The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed a behavioral shift to digital connection and verifiable trust. This shift thrust blockchain technology and digital collectibles to the forefront as virtual groups transformed into supportive, thriving communities centered around digital collectible brands. The top brands generate immense value (intrinsic and financial) while building highly loyal, engaged communities.
As we transitioned our company online, we started researching and participating in this behavioral shift. Many established brands attempted to enter this space, but few understood the collaborative, accretive culture and failed to gain traction within the community. We positioned our web3 division to leverage our core competencies to drive value for the digital collectible community and our shareholders.
Our web3 (“Vault”) division connects cannabis companies to intellectual property (IP) licensing opportunities from digital collectible holders to launch digitally-native cannabis brands. Since our launch of our Vault division in December 2021, we have developed relationships with several digital collectible holders to seed our IP vault with blue-chip web3 brands. These brands include Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, and CryptoPunks.
Our most notable licensed IP is Mutant Ape Yacht Club #30000, “Mega Robot”, one of twelve Mega Mutants, the rarest NFTs in the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) universe. Mega Mutants have sold for over $1,000,000 with the Mega Serum previously selling for $5.8 million.
In July 2022, we launched our first cannabis activation with Oro Blanco (BAYC #2186) and Urbana to debut a branded cannabis strain across three retail stores in San Francisco. The initial results generated
encouraging monthly and quarterly sell-through rates and sales which informed our decision to further build out our Vault division.
In order to understand web3 culture and the overall market, we developed an advisory board of web3-native experts. Our advisory board helps guide our strategy and decision-making across social media, community, art and branding, and product development. Each advisor has built a personal brand and is well-known across the community.
In August 2022, we began developing the concept for a Mega Robot cannabis line with Bronx Extracts. This brand builds on our key learnings from the Oro Blanco launch which highlighted the need for standout packaging paired with curated cannabis. This collaboration pairs the premium IP of Mega Robot with premium cannabis sourced and developed by Bronx Extracts to create a brand that appeals to everyday consumers.
In September 2023, following the successful launch of the Mega Robot brand in California, the company facilitated additional Mega Robot brand licenses. House of Kush developed cannabis products in Missouri, and Raw Genetics released branded seeds in the hemp category. The expansion will demonstrate the power of our cannabis network combined with our advisory board to launch a brand that appeals to all consumers, including digitally-native ones. Farmhouse Vault will develop and release new IP collaborations on an ongoing basis, such as its new collaboration with G. Love to network the music artist for the purpose of launching his cannabis branded products. The company leverages its ability to develop community-driven, IP branded products with its signed MOU with T-Pain to create a new subsidiary that should enter into the energy beverage industry.
Memorandum of Understanding
On May 17, 2024, the Company executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) which establishes the framework for a proposed acquisition of all membership interests of Thrown, LLC (“Thrown”). Thrown, operating under the brand Nappy Boy Dranks, is a joint venture beverage firm led by T-Pain, the Grammy Award-winning artist, professional gamer, and entrepreneur (“T-Pain”). Thrown’s premier product, T-Pain’s GamerShot, is a zero-crash, focus-enhancing functional esports beverage, featuring a proprietary Nootropic Energy Blend and conveniently packaged in 2-ounce servings.
The MOU provides for consideration to Thrown of a) equity deposit of $75,000 in Company shares, subject to lockup and specific return conditions, b) cash compensation contingent on the Company raising $5-$10 million in equity financing, c) equity compensation involving issuance of 5,130,000 shares to Thrown, d) expense reimbursement up to $100,000 for organizational and operating expenses, e) license payment of $50,000 to Nappy Boy Dranks, LLC, and f) additional shares based on sales milestones to be negotiated.
While the MOU outlines the parties’ intent to negotiate in good faith a definitive agreement while highlighting certain binding terms regarding exclusivity and confidentiality, it does not guarantee that the transaction will be completed. The parties are committed to negotiating in good faith and working towards a definitive agreement, but there are many variables and conditions that must be met for the transaction to close successfully. Therefore, there is no assurance that the MOU will result in a final agreement or that the transaction will be consummated.
On July 6, 2024, the Company and Thrown signed an Amendment to the MOU (“Amendment”) to clarify the equity deposit of $75,000 in Company shares “based on the price per share of the Company’s stock then in effect as of the Effective Date.” Under the Amendment, the parties agreed to a price per share of
the Company’s stock of $0.40 and the Company issued 187,500 shares of common stock the Thrown as the equity deposit of $75,000 as provided in the MOU. The fair market value of the stock on July 6, 2024 was $0.1396 or $26,175.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until such time we can raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow from operations, we will continue to be funded through short-term advances from the Company officers, borrowings under promissory notes and sales of restricted common stock under various offerings. We estimate we will need $2,500,000 in capital, after satisfying our debt obligations, to cover our ongoing expenses and to successfully market and expand our product offerings. This is only an estimate and may change as we receive feedback from customers and have a better feel for the demand and revenues from our new products. Both factors may change, and we may not be able to raise the necessary capital and if we are able to, that it may not be at favorable rates. We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months with equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated revenues of $4,154 and $5,203, respectively, and we reported net losses of $255,190 and $324,392, respectively. We had negative cash flow from operating activities of $56,544 and $57,995, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,560,678 and total shareholders’ deficit of $2,172,681.
Our auditors have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our historical recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations as well as our dependence on private equity and financing. We anticipate that we will continue to report losses and negative cash flow. To date, we have financed our activities principally from the sale of common stock, loans from Company officers and loans from third parties. We intend to finance our future working capital needs from these sources until such a time that funds provided by our operations are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements. We believe that loans from Company officers, loans from third parties and funds raised from the sale of our common stock allows us sufficient capital for operations and to continue as a going concern.
Related Party Matters
The terms of any transaction determined to be with related parties are presented to the board of directors (other than any interested director) for approval and documented in the corporate minutes. Cash advances are commonly provided by our officers for operating expenses and direct payment of Company expenses. Company officers were owed $51,353 and $28,958 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is comprised of cash advances provided to the Company for operating expenses and direct payment of Company expenses by Company officers. The amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing and are unsecured. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Company officers made advances of $23,562 and were repaid $1,167 with the Company’s credit card. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Company officers made no advances and were repaid $21,254 in cash and $1,048 with the Company’s credit card.
Company officers own approximately 43.5% of the Company as of June 30, 2024. The Company has agreed to indemnify Company officers for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director serving in such capacities. Other than the foregoing, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, nor any person who owned of record or was known to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction that has occurred during the past fiscal year.
On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note with an officer and director for $4,500 for a payment made directly to a company vendor. This note bears interest at 20% per annum, is unsecured and is due on February 12, 2025. This loan constitutes a related-party transaction, and as such, it is subject to the Company’s policies and procedures regarding such transactions.
Litigation Developments
In August 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, DTLA, entered into a Strategic Consulting Agreement (the “SCA”) with a medical marijuana growing, and retail company that now goes by the name Los Angeles Farmers, Inc. (“LAFI”). In October 2017, DTLA commenced litigation in Los Angeles County Superior Court (Case #BC681251) against LAFI and David and Irina Vayntrub, who were the sole officers, directors, and members of LAFI, seeking to enforce its contract rights under the SCA. In January 2020, following more than a year of discovery, DTLA entered into a confidential settlement with the Vayntrubs, however, the case continued against LAFI. In April 2021, an Arbitrator overseeing the arbitration hearing issued a judgment in favor of DTLA and against LAFI (the “DTLA Judgment”). The DTLA Judgment awarded 49% of LAFI to DTLA as of November 2017, along with a share of any profits from November 2017. In January 2022, DTLA requested that the Arbitrator order the sale of LAFI to an independent third party in order to allow any judgment to be paid to DTLA. In August 2022, a receiver was appointed by the Court to assume control of LAFI. In April 2024, the sale of LAFI was completed by the receiver. As of the date of this filing, it is doubtful, but still uncertain, as to whether DTLA will recover anything from the sale of LAFI.
Results of Operations
We generate revenues from license fees in connection with NFT Art License Agreements, whereby the licensee is granted a limited license from the Company to use one of its licensed NFT’s for the purpose of creating, marketing, and selling branded cannabis and hemp products and accessories. The Company’s performance obligation is met upon granting the customer access to its licensed NFT’s. The company recognizes license revenues or royalties when the subsequent sale of the cannabis and hemp products and accessories by the licensee occurs. The amount of license revenue or royalties recognized is based on a percentage of the sales price of the licensee’s sales of its cannabis and hemp products and accessories. Fees are due the month after customer sales occur.
Six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Revenues generated from license fees were $4,154 and $5,203 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. One licensee accounted for 90% of license revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 100% of license revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

·Overall other general and administrative expenses, including website development, dues and subscriptions, office expenses and travel and entertainment increased by approximately $4,700 for the current six-month period, primarily due to increase in credit card finance charges on the Company’s credit card and company vehicle related expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, professional fees were $79,042 and $132,675, respectively, a decrease of approximately $53,600. Our professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were comprised of the following:

Contractual Obligations
We qualify as a smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K and, thus, are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of six months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $2,018 and zero as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our accounting policies that are critical or most important to understanding our financial condition and results of operations and that require management to make the most difficult judgments are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the
SEC on July 11, 2024. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Reference is made to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 in this Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2024, which were identified in connection with our management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
None.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become subject to various legal proceedings that are incidental to the ordinary conduct of its business. Although we cannot accurately predict the amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, it makes provision for potential liabilities when it deems them probable and reasonably estimable. These provisions are based on current information and legal advice and may be adjusted from time to time according to developments.
In August 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, DTLA, entered into a Strategic Consulting Agreement (the “SCA”) with a medical marijuana growing, and retail company that now goes by the name Los Angeles Farmers, Inc. (“LAFI”). In October 2017, DTLA commenced litigation in Los Angeles County Superior Court (Case #BC681251) against LAFI and David and Irina Vayntrub, who were the sole officers, directors, and members of LAFI, seeking to enforce its contract rights under the SCA. In January 2020, following more than a year of discovery, DTLA entered into a confidential settlement with the Vayntrubs, however, the case continued against LAFI. In April 2021, an Arbitrator overseeing the arbitration hearing issued a judgment in favor of DTLA and against LAFI (the “DTLA Judgment”). The DTLA Judgment awarded 49% of LAFI to DTLA as of November 2017, along with a share of any profits from November 2017. In January 2022, DTLA requested that the Arbitrator order the sale of LAFI to an independent third party in order to allow any judgment to be paid to DTLA. In August 2022, a receiver was appointed by the Court to assume control of LAFI. In April 2024, the sale of LAFI was completed by the receiver. As of the date of this filing, it is doubtful, but still uncertain, as to whether DTLA will recover anything from the sale of LAFI.
