On May 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, Cannamerica, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), and Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc. d/b/a American Cannabis Consulting, Inc.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into ACC through a reverse triangular merger transaction (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and the Colorado Business Corporation Act (“CBCA”). Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, there was no relationship between the Company or its affiliates and ACC, other than in respect of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

On May 16, 2014, the Company entered into a Separation and Exchange Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), between the Company, BIMI, Inc. (“BIMI”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Brazil Investment Holding, LLC (“Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and the majority stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which the Company distributed all shares of common stock of BIMI held by the Company in exchange for all of our common stock held by Holdings, thereby effecting a complete divestiture of BIMI.

On September 29, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), all of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Separation Agreement were complete, and the Merger became effective upon the filing of certificates of merger with the Secretary of State of the States of Delaware and Colorado, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and the CBCA. Copies of the certificates of merger are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2 hereto, and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.

As of the date of the Separation Agreement, Holdings held 35,000,000 shares of our common stock, which represented approximately 77.30% of all issued and outstanding shares. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company distributed all 1,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of BIMI held by the Company, which constituted all of the issued and outstanding shares of BIMI, in exchange for all 35,000,000 shares of our common stock held by Holdings.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement and as of the Separation Exchange Date, the Company and BIMI each retained all assets and liabilities in its respective name, and each took any and all actions necessary so that (i) the Company owns or remains liable for all existing Company assets and liabilities and (ii) BIMI owns or remains liable for all existing BIMI assets and liabilities, including all assets and liabilities of BIMI’s subsidiaries. Further, all intercompany agreements by and between the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, and BIMI, or any of its subsidiaries, were terminated as of the Separation Exchange Date, except for confidentiality, non-disclosure or release of liability agreements.

 

As of the date of the Merger Agreement, 10,000 shares of ACC’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, were issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of ACC’s common stock, was to be exchanged for shares of the common stock of the Company based on a ratio of 3,171.0628 to 1. On May 23, 2014 (the “Merger Issuance Date”), the Company issued 31,710,628 shares of our common stock to ACC’s shareholders, in exchange for all their shares of ACC’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and as of the Effective Date, each share of the common stock of Merger Sub was converted into and exchanged for one share of common stock of ACC held by the Company, ACC continued as a surviving wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Merger Sub ceased to exist.

 

As of the Effective Date, following the consummation of all of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Separation Agreement, there were 40,425,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

     
 

As a result of the Merger Agreement, Corey Hollister was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer, Ellis Smith as our Chief Development Officer, Anthony Baroud as our Chief Technology Officer and Trent Woloveck as our Chief Operating Officer. Jesus Quintero was also reappointed to serve as our Chief Financial Officer. In addition, prior to the Effective Date and as a result of the Merger Agreement, Themistocles Psomiadis and Michael Novielli resigned from our board of directors, and Corey Hollister appointed Ellis Smith and Anthony Baroud to our board of directors to fill the vacancies created by the resignations of Messrs.

Item 5.01

On June 6, 2014, our board of directors appointed Ellis Smith to serve as our Chief Development Officer, Anthony Baroud as our Chief Technology Officer and Trent Woloveck as our Chief Operating Officer. Jesus Quintero was also reappointed to serve as our Chief Financial Officer on June 6, 2014.

Collectively, all of ACC’s former shareholders exercise control over (i) approximately 78% of our issued and outstanding common stock, and (ii) approximately 70% of common stock on a fully-diluted basis.

(d)                      Solicitations of Customers. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for his own account or as proprietor, stockholder, member, partner, director, officer, employee, agent or otherwise for or on behalf of any person, business, firm corporation, partnership or other entity other than the Corporation, sell or broker, offer to sell or broker or solicit or assist in the offer to sell or broker or solicit any orders for the purchase of any products or services sold by the Corporation (including any subsidiaries) or its successors or assigns during the Measuring Period (“Products”) to or from any person, corporation or other entity which was a customer of the Corporation at any time during the Measuring Period.

9. Indemnification.

  Page 5 of 10  
 

(b)                      The Executive shall notify the Corporation in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after being informed in writing of a claim from a third party and in respect of which a right of indemnification given pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement may apply. The Corporation shall have the right to elect, by written notice delivered to the Executive within 10 days of receipt by the Corporation of the notice from the Executive in respect of the claim, at the sole expense of the Corporation, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the claim, provided that: such will be done at all times in a diligent and bona fide matter; the Corporation acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Executive in accordance with the terms contained in this Agreement in respect of that claim; and the Corporation shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such participation or assumption.

 

(c)                       If the Corporation elects to assume such control, the Executive shall cooperate with the Corporation and its counsel and shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such claim at his own expense. If the Corporation does not so elect or, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to proceed with the settlement or defense of any such claim in accordance with paragraphs (a) or (b), the Executive shall be entitled to assume such control. In such case, the Corporation shall cooperate where necessary with the Executive and his counsel in connection with such claim and The Corporation shall be bound by the results obtained by the Executive with respect to such claim.

 

(d)                      If any claim is of a nature such that the Executive is required by applicable law to make a payment to any person (a “Third Party”) with respect to such claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, including all legal fees and expenses relating to the defense and negotiation of a claim for which the Corporation has not elected to assume control, the Corporation shall, forthwith after demand by the Executive, make such payment on behalf of the Executive or, if the Executive made such payment, reimburse the Executive for any such payment. If the amount of any liability under the claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Corporation to the Executive, the Executive shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay such difference to the Corporation;

 

(e)                       Except in the circumstances contemplated by this section 9, and whether or not the Corporation assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any claim, the Executive shall not settle or compromise any claim except with the prior written consent of the Corporation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). A failure by the Corporation to respond in writing to a written request by the Executive for consent for a period of ten (10) days or more shall be deemed a consent by the Corporation to such request;

 

(f)                       The Corporation and the Executive shall provide each other on an ongoing basis with all information which may be relevant to the other's liability hereunder and shall supply copies of all relevant documentation promptly as they become available; and

 

(g)                      Notwithstanding Section 9(c), if the Executive has assumed control of the negotiation, settlement and defense of a claim, the Corporation shall not settle any claim or conduct any related legal or administrative proceeding in a manner which would, in the opinion of the Executive, acting reasonably, have a material adverse impact on the Executive, unless the Executive fails to respond in writing to a written request by the Corporation for consent to the proposed action by the Corporation within ten (10) days. A failure by the Executive to respond in writing to a written request by the Corporation for consent for a period of ten (10) days or more shall be deemed a consent by the Executive to such request.

Any dispute between the parties under this Agreement shall be resolved (except as provided below) through informal arbitration by an arbitrator (who is selected as provided below) and under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Arbitration shall be conducted under the rules of said Association at the location where the Executive is then employed by the Corporation, provided, however, that the arbitration shall be conducted at the location specified by the Corporation if the Executive's out-of-pocket expenses of travel and lodging are borne by the Corporation. Each party shall be entitled to present evidence and argument to the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the right only to interpret and apply the provisions of this Agreement and may not change any of its provisions.

(c)                       If the Corporation elects to assume such control, the Executive shall cooperate with the Corporation and its counsel and shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such claim at his own expense. If the Corporation does not so elect or, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to proceed with the settlement or defense of any such claim in accordance with paragraphs (a) or (b), the Executive shall be entitled to assume such control. In such case, the Corporation shall cooperate where necessary with the Executive and his counsel in connection with such claim and The Corporation shall be bound by the results obtained by the Executive with respect to such claim.

(e)                       Except in the circumstances contemplated by this section 9, and whether or not the Corporation assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any claim, the Executive shall not settle or compromise any claim except with the prior written consent of the Corporation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). A failure by the Corporation to respond in writing to a written request by the Executive for consent for a period of ten (10) days or more shall be deemed a consent by the Corporation to such request;

 

(f)                       The Corporation and the Executive shall provide each other on an ongoing basis with all information which may be relevant to the other's liability hereunder and shall supply copies of all relevant documentation promptly as they become available; and

 

(g)                      Notwithstanding Section 9(c), if the Executive has assumed control of the negotiation, settlement and defense of a claim, the Corporation shall not settle any claim or conduct any related legal or administrative proceeding in a manner which would, in the opinion of the Executive, acting reasonably, have a material adverse impact on the Executive, unless the Executive fails to respond in writing to a written request by the Corporation for consent to the proposed action by the Corporation within ten (10) days.

The arbitrator shall give written notice to the parties stating his or their determination, and shall furnish to each party a signed copy of such determination. The expenses of arbitration shall be borne equally by the Executive and the Corporation or as the arbitrator shall otherwise equitably determine.  

 

In the event the services of an arbitrator are required and if the Executive and Corporation are unable within five (5) days after determining such services are required to agree upon the identity of an arbitrator, within ten (10) days thereafter the Executive and Corporation shall each select an arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall select by mutual agreement an arbitrator. If either party fails to select an arbitrator, then the other party shall select the second arbitrator, and an arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the two arbitrators. In the event the selected arbitrators are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the two arbitrators shall each select an arbitrator from a list of arbitrator provided by the American Arbitration Association and those arbitrators shall mutually agree upon the selection of an arbitrator who will be the arbitrator.

Regardless of whether such an agreement is executed, this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor of the Corporation in accordance with the operation of law, and such successor shall be deemed “the Corporation” for purposes of this Agreement.

No delay on the part of either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of either party of such right, power or privilege nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege, preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc.

dba American Cannabis Consulting:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc. dba American Cannabis Consulting (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related income statement, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from inception (March 5, 2013) through December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from inception (March 5, 2013) through December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc. d/b/a American Cannabis Consulting (the “Company” or “ACC”) was incorporated on March 5, 2013 under the laws of the State of Colorado. ACC is based out of Denver, CO, and operates a fully integrated business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses operating in the cannabis industry in states and countries where cannabis is regulated and has been de-criminalized for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use.

 

ACC provides its clients end-to-end solutions based on its specialized knowledge of and experience with operating in regulated cannabis industries. ACC is both a consulting and advisory service provider and a supplier of products and equipment to businesses operating in this unique industry. The Company’s consultants and advisors providing services to clients consist of the Company’s two officers and directors and three independent contractors.

 

The Company was incorporated on March 5, 2013 under the laws of the State of Colorado. Upon formation, each of the co-founders Ellis Smith and Corey Hollister were issued 4,000 shares of common stock in exchange for $400. This constituted 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and voting rights. Mr. Smith and Mr. Hollister are the sole directors and officers of the Corporation.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.

 

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are deemed to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include but are not limited to following: those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors, and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates. When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution. Our cash balances at December 31, 2013 do not exceed the deposit insurance limits for the financial institutions.

  F- 5  
 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and, if necessary, establish the allowance for doubtful accounts by calculating and recording a specified percentage of the individual open receivable balances. Specific allowances are also recorded based on historical experience, analysis of past due accounts, client creditworthiness and other current available information. However, our actual experience may vary from our estimates. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay our fees, we may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that we typically receive retainers from some of our clients prior to performing significant services. 

 

The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses.

 

Significant Clients and Customers

 

During 2013, there were three clients that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues, and 63% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues. At December 31, 2013, one client represented 100% of our gross accounts receivable balance.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” We did not capitalize any interest during 2013.

 

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

  

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. The Company did not record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets during 2013.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition . The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services are rendered or delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company primarily generates revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally entered into on a time basis, for a fixed-fee or on a contingent fee basis. Generally, a prepayment or retainer is required prior to performing services.

 

Revenues from time based engagements are recognized as the hours are incurred by the Company.

  F- 6  
 

Revenues from fixed-fee engagements are recognized under the completed or proportional performance methods. Management reviews arrangement to determine whether or not the fixed-fee is for a final deliverable or act which is significant to the arrangement as a whole. If it is, revenue is recognized under the completed performance method, in which revenue is recognize once the final act or deliverable is performed or delivered. Revenue recognized under the proportional performance method is recognized as services are performed. Under this method, the Company estimates the amount of completed work versus the total services to be provided under the arrangement or deliverable in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Revenue recognition is affected by a number of factors that change the estimated amount of work required to complete the deliverable, such as changes in scope, timing, awaiting notification of license award from local government, and the level of client involvement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. To date, such losses have not been significant. The Company believes if an engagement terminates prior to completion it can recover the costs incurred related to the services provided.

 

The Company has some arrangements for which the revenues are contingent upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Any contingent revenue for these arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s arrangements with clients may include terms to deliver multiple services or deliverables. These contracts specifically identify the services to be provided with the corresponding deliverable. The value for each deliverable is determined based on the prices charged when each element is sold separately or by other vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). Revenues are recognized in accordance with our accounting policies for the elements as described above. The elements qualify for separation when the deliverables have value on a stand-alone basis and the value of the separate elements can be established by VSOE or an estimated selling price. While assigning values and identifying separate elements requires judgment, generally selling prices of the separate elements are readily identifiable as the Company also sells those elements individually outside of a multiple services engagement. Contracts with multiple elements are typically fixed-fee or on time basis. Arrangements are typically terminable by either party upon sufficient notice and do not include provisions for refunds relating to services provided.

 

Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled services or deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheet. Revenues recognized for services performed, but not yet billed to clients are recorded as unbilled services.

 

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues. Typically, an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses are included in total direct client service costs. Reimbursable expenses related to time and materials and fixed-fee engagements are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the income statement on a net basis.

 

Revenue from cultivation supply sales, including the delivery fee, is recognized when an order has been obtained, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped, title has transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, our suppliers’ drop-ship orders to our clients with origin terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. To date, sales returns have not been significant, and as such, a sales return allowance has not been recorded.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize cost of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the costs are incurred. Cost of revenue includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes Compensation and fees for services, Travel and other expenses for services and cost of supplies. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs, which are included as a component of selling and marketing expense, are expensed as incurred and have been insignificant.

  F- 7  
 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

For cultivation supply sales, shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of revenues.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be treated as an S corporation for income tax purposes as provided in Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the owners are taxed on their proportionate share of the respective Company’s taxable income. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had elected and maintained its status as an S Corporation. The Company believes it does not have any uncertain tax positions. No provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share . This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. There were no adjustments to diluted earnings per share calculation as the Company does not have any dilutive instruments.

Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists , to resolve the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 for all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is permitted. The Company has not elected early adoption or retrospective application of this ASU as it is not applicable to the Company.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) . The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under US GAPP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, and entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc. dba American Cannabis Consulting (the “Company” or “ACC”) was incorporated on March 5, 2013 under the laws of the State of Colorado. ACC is based out of Denver, CO, and operates a fully integrated business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses operating in the cannabis industry in states and countries where cannabis is regulatCed and has been de-criminalized for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use.

 

ACC provides its clients end-to-end solutions based on its specialized knowledge of and experience with operating in regulated cannabis industries. ACC is both a consulting and advisory service provider and a supplier of products and equipment to businesses operating in this unique industry. The Company’s consultants and advisors providing services to clients consist of the Company’s two officers and directors and three independent contractors.

 

On May 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Cannamerica Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. (“BIMI”), at which point in time, effective immediately, the Company’s co-founder and president, Corey Hollister, was named CEO of BIMI. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will be acquired. The effective time of the Merger shall be upon the filing of Certificates of Merger with the Secretaries of State of the States of Delaware and Colorado, pursuant to applicable statutes. As of the date of this report, September 4, 2014, the documents making the merger effective have not been filed.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.

 

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are deemed to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include but are not limited to following: those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors, and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates. When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution. The Company’s cash balances at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 did not exceed the deposit insurance limits for the financial institutions.

  F- 5  
 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. There was no restricted cash included in current assets on our balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Restricted cash previously related to remaining proceeds from a short-term note entered into on March 21, 2014 (see Note 7. Notes Payable) which restricted the use of its proceeds.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets is comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services, general expenses and inventory deposits. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the contract. When the Company takes title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory and recognized as a cost of revenues (see “Cost of Revenues” below).

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the net value of face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts by calculating and recording a specified percentage of the individual open receivable balances. Specific allowances are also recorded based on historical experience, analysis of past due accounts, client creditworthiness and other current available information. However, the Company’s actual experience may vary from its estimates. If the financial condition of its clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay the Company’s fees, it may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that the Company receives retainers from its clients prior to performing significant services.

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses.

 

Significant Clients and Customers

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, three clients individually accounted for 10% or more and 65% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, three clients individually accounted for 10% or more and 66% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues. The Company did not have any revenues during fiscal year 2013.

 

The Company did not have any outstanding gross accounts receivables at June 30, 2014. At December 31, 2013, one client represented 100% of its gross accounts receivable balance of $1,250.

 

Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company did not capitalize any interest as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

  F- 6  
 

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. The Company had not recorded any impairment charges related to long-lived assets as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition . The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services are rendered or delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company primarily generates revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally entered into on a time basis, for a fixed-fee or on a contingent fee basis. Generally, a prepayment or retainer is required prior to performing services.

 

Revenues from time-based engagements are recognized as the hours are incurred by the Company.

 

Revenues from fixed-fee engagements are recognized under the completed or proportional performance methods. Management reviews arrangement to determine whether or not the fixed-fee is for a final deliverable or act which is significant to the arrangement as a whole. If it is, revenue is recognized under the completed performance method, in which revenue is recognized once the final act or deliverable is performed or delivered. Revenue recognized under the proportional performance method is recognized as services are performed. Under this method, the Company estimates the amount of completed work in comparison to the total services to be provided under the arrangement or deliverable in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Revenue recognition is affected by a number of factors that change the estimated amount of work required to complete the deliverable, such as changes in scope, timing, awaiting notification of license award from local government, and the level of client involvement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, such losses have not been significant. The Company believes if an engagement terminates prior to completion it can recover the costs incurred related to the services provided.

 

The Company has some arrangements for which revenues are contingent upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Any contingent revenue for these arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s arrangements with clients may include terms to deliver multiple services or deliverables. These contracts specifically identify the services to be provided with the corresponding deliverable. The value for each deliverable is determined based on the prices charged when each element is sold separately or by other vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). Revenues are recognized in accordance with our accounting policies for the elements as described above. The elements qualify for separation when the deliverables have value on a stand-alone basis and the value of the separate elements can be established by VSOE or an estimated selling price. While assigning values and identifying separate elements requires judgment, generally selling prices of the separate elements are readily identifiable as the Company also sells those elements individually outside of a multiple services engagement. Contracts with multiple elements are typically fixed-fee or on time basis. Arrangements are typically terminable by either party upon sufficient notice and do not include provisions for refunds relating to services provided.

  F- 7  
 

Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled services or deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheet. Revenues recognized for services performed, but not yet billed to clients are recorded as unbilled services.

 

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues. Typically, an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses are included in total direct client service costs. Reimbursable expenses related to time and materials and fixed-fee engagements are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the statement of operations on a net basis.

 

Revenue from supply and equipment sales, including the delivery fee, is recognized when an order has been obtained, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped, title has transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, our suppliers’ drop-ship orders to our clients with origin terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, sales returns had not been significant and as such, a sales return allowance had not been recorded.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Cost of revenue includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and cost of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had elected and maintained its status as an S Corporation.

 

The Company believes it does not have any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and accordingly, no liability for federal or state income taxes was included in the financial statements as of these dates, and no provision for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements during the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share . This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. There were no adjustments to the diluted earnings per share calculation as the Company does not have any dilutive instruments during the periods presented.

See Note 9 Related Party Transactions for associated disclosures.

 

Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” to resolve the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Although permitted by the ASU, the Company did not elect early adoption or retrospective application. As such, the ASU became effective prospectively for the Company as of its first quarter of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits that meet the conditions described by the ASU; accordingly, the ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,”Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. This ASU requires revenue to be recognized to reflect the consideration an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers in the appropriate period. This ASU also requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are required. The Company will be required to implement this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, using one of two prescribed retrospective methods. No early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

  F- 9  
 

 There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.
