NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization, Nature of Business, Going Concern and Management Plans

 

Organization and Nature of Business 

 

Target Group Inc. (“Target Group” or “the Company”) was incorporated on July 2, 2013 under the laws of the state of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.

 

Target Group Inc. is a diversified and vertically integrated, progressive company with focus on both national and international presence. The Company owns and operates Canary Rx Inc, a final-stage, Canadian licensed producer, regulated under The Cannabis Act. Canary Rx Inc, operates a 44,000 square foot facility located in Norfolk County, Ontario, and has partnered with Dutch breeder, Serious Seeds, to cultivate exclusive & world class proprietary genetics. The Company has begun structuring multiple international production and distribution platforms and intends to continue rapidly expanding its global footprint as it focuses on building an iconic brand portfolio whose focus aims at developing cutting edge Intellectual Property among the medical and recreational cannabis markets. Target Group is committed to building industry-leading companies that transform the perception of cannabis and responsibly elevate the overall consumer experience.

 

The Company’s current business is to produce, manufacture, distribute, and conduct sales of cannabis products. As of the current year end, the company has not produced, manufactured, distributed or sold any cannabis products.

 

In May, 2014, the Company effected a change in control by the redemption of the stock held by its original shareholders, the issuance of shares of its common stock to new shareholders, the resignation of its original officers and directors and the appointment of new officers and directors.

 

On July 6, 2015, the Company filed its form S-1/A, to amend its form S-1 previously filed on January 26, 2015 and December 11, 2014. The prospectus relates to the offer and sale of 1,500,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share, offered by the holders thereof (the “Selling Shareholder Shares”), who are deemed to be statutory underwriters. The selling shareholders will offer their shares at a price of $0.50 per share, until the Company’s common stock is listed on a national securities exchange or is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (or a successor); after which, the selling shareholders may sell their shares at prevailing market or privately negotiated prices, including (without limitation) in one or more transactions that may take place by ordinary broker’s transactions, privately-negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more dealers for resale.

 

On July 13, 2015, the Company received a notice of effectiveness from the SEC for the registration of its shares.

 

On July 3, 2018, the Company filed an amendment in its Articles of association to change its name to Target Group Inc. The Company was able to secure an OTC Bulletin Board symbol CBDY from Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

 

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Visava Inc., a private Ontario, Canada corporation (“Visava”). Visava owns 100% of Canary Rx Inc., a Canadian corporation that holds a leasehold interest in a parcel of property located in Ontario’s Garden Norfolk County for the production of cannabis.

 

The Exchange Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, the Company issued to the Visava shareholders an aggregate of 25,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock held by the Visava shareholders. In addition of its Common Stock, the Company issued to the Visava shareholders, prorata Common Stock Purchase Warrants purchasing an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share of $0.10 for a period of two years following the issuance date of the Warrants. Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Visava shareholders held approximately 46.27% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company and Visava will continue its business operations as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was closed effective August 2, 2018.

TARGET GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Effective January 25, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with CannaKorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CannaKorp”). Company had previously entered into a Letter of Intent with CannaKorp dated November 30, 2018 which was disclosed in the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed December 4, 2018.

 

The Exchange Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, the Company issued to the CannaKorp shareholders an aggregate of 30,407,412 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on a price per share of $0.10, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of CannaKorp held by the CannaKorp shareholders. In addition, the Company will issue Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”) in exchange for all outstanding and promised CannaKorp stock options. The Warrants will grant the holders thereof the right to purchase up to approximately 7,211,213 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company will also assume all outstanding liabilities of CannaKorp. Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, CannaKorp will continue its business operations as a subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was closed effective March 1, 2019.

 

Effective August 8, 2019, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (“License Agreement”) with cGreen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“cGreen”). The License Agreement grants to the Company an exclusive license to manufacture and distribute the patent-pending THC antidote True Focus™ in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. The term of the license is ten (10) years and four (4) months from the effective date of August 8, 2019. In consideration of the license, the Company will issue 10,000,000 shares of its common stock as follows: (i) 3,500,000 within ten (10) days of the effective date; (ii) 3,500,000 shares on January 10, 2020; and (iii) 3,000,000 shares not later than June 10, 2020. In addition, the Company will pay cGreen royalties of 7% of the net sales of the licensed products and 7% of all sublicensing revenues collected by the Company. The Company will pay cGreen an advance royalty of $300,000 within ten (10) days of the effective date; $300,000 on January 10, 2020; and $400,000 on or before June 10, 2020 and $500,000 on or before November 10, 2020. All advance royalty payments will be credited against the royalties owed by the Company through December 31, 2020. During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the intangible asset was written off based on management’s review and evaluation of its recoverability. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company was in arbitration with cGreen for the breaches of the terms of the License Agreement, however, through an early mediation, both companies reached to a settlement agreement to settle the breaches of the contract on July 27, 2020 (“Effective Date”). As per the settlement agreement, the License Agreement has been terminated and the Company does not have to issue the 10 million shares nor pay the outstanding royalty payable in the amount of $1,191,860. As consideration, the Company will pay $130,000 within 30 days of the Effective Date and $100,000 in monthly installments of $10,000 commencing in April 2021 to cGreen resulting in a gain on settlement in the amount of $1,704,860.

 

On September 17 2019, the CannaKorp has signed an agreement with Nabis Holding (Nabis), where Nabis will purchase 200 wisp unit and 5000 pods per quarter from the Company. CannaKorp hereby agrees to sell to Nabis, one CannaMatic. The purchase price for the one CannaMatic shall be $4,500 USD in cash to be paid by Nabis to CannaKorp within 3 calendar days of Nabis obtaining regulatory approval of its vertically integrated licenses and $40,500 or the balance owing to be paid by Nabis to CannaKorp, within 180 days of the Effective Date.

 

As of the date of this report, the equipment to Nabis has been shipped and the Company has provided Nabis an additional 180 days before invoicing Nabis for the equipment. Once when the additional 180-day mark has passed, the Company will invoice Nabis. Additionally, the first quarter of the Nabis agreement minimums were shipped and invoiced (200 Wisp Units and 5000 Pod Assemblies to enable Nabis to manufacture 5000 complete Wisp Pods) for online and retail distribution in the Arizona Market. Nabis has had delays in rolling out all the products for which they have exclusive licenses with, and the Company expects their next order will likely be in the next 60 to 90 days. The delay is primarily due to the effects of pandemic and slowing down of the economy in United States of America.

 

Effective May 14, 2020, Canary entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture”) with 9258159 Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (referred to as “Thrive”) and 2755757 Ontario Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (referred to as “JVCo”). Canary and Thrive each hold 50% of the voting equity interest in JVCo. The term of the Joint Venture is five (5) years from its effective date of May 14, 2020.

 

Going Concern and Management Plans

 

The Company has earned minimal revenue since inception to date and has sustained operating losses during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company had working capital deficit of $3,546,893 and an accumulated deficit of $17,258,968 as of June 30, 2020. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern up-to at least 12 months from the balance sheet date; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations or from the sale of its equity. However, the Company currently has no commitments from any third parties for the purchase of its equity. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC and are expressed in US dollars. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Visava Inc. and CannaKorp, Inc. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management 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 the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates may include those pertaining to accruals. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

  

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a weighted average cost basis, and market being determined as the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company records write-downs of inventory that is obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or market value based on consideration of product lifecycle stage, technology trends, product development plans and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand, and such differences may have a material effect on recorded inventory values. Inventory write-downs are charged to cost of revenue and establish a new cost basis for the inventory. The cost is determined on the basis of the average cost or first-in, first-out methods.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, commencing when the assets become available for productive use, based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

F-8

 

 

Depreciation is calculated using the following terms and methods:

 

Furniture & office equipment     Straight-line       7 years  
Machinery & equipment     Straight-line       3-5 years  
Software     Straight-line       3 years  

 

An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period the asset is derecognized. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each reporting date, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  · Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

  · Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

  · Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The derivative liabilities of the promissory convertible notes are valued Level 3, refer to Note 11 for further details.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method after electing to delay the adoption of the accounting standard as the Company qualified as an “emerging growth company”. Since the Company did not have any contracts as of the effective day, therefore, there was no material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidation interim financial statements upon adoption of the new standard. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. Our performance obligation generally consists of the promise to sell our finished products to our customers, wholesalers, distributors or retailers. Control of the finished products is transferred upon shipment to, or receipt at, our customers' locations, as determined by the specific terms of the contract. Once control is transferred to the customer, we have completed our performance obligation, and revenue is recognized. 

 

The Company generated revenue of $30,000 during six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $nil revenue during comparable period ended June 30, 2019. The revenue represents the sale of Wisp™ vaporizer and pod units. Since the customer have received the units and there are no further obligations as per the agreement, revenue was recognized.

  

Deferred revenue is due to a shipment sent to one of the Company’s distributors. However, since control has not been transferred and the performance obligation has not been completed, revenue has not been recognized and proceeds received are classified as deferred revenue.

 

Equity Method Investments

 

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments when the Company has the ability to significantly influence, but not control, the operations or financial activities of the investee. As part of this evaluation, the Company considers the participating and protective rights in the venture as well as its legal form. The Company records the equity method investments at cost and subsequently adjust their carrying amount each period for the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee and other adjustments required by the equity method of accounting. Distributions received from the equity method investments are recorded as reductions in the carrying value of such investments and are classified on the consolidated statements of cash flows pursuant to the cumulative earnings approach. Under this approach, distributions received are considered returns on investment and are classified as cash inflows from operating activities unless the cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods that were determined to be returns of investment, exceed the cumulative equity in earnings recognized from the investment. When such an excess occurs, the current period distributions up to this excess are considered returns of investment and are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

 

The Company monitors equity method investments for impairment and record reductions in their carrying values if the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when such impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider our ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. Circumstances that indicate an impairment may have occurred include factors such as decreases in quoted market prices or declines in the operations of the investee. The evaluation of an investment for potential impairment requires us to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions. The Company has recorded impairment losses related to our equity method investments of $nil during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” (CGC) under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, management can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The management has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

The Company evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued and determined that the adoption of these pronouncements would not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (ASU 2018-10), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842)—Targeted Improvements (ASU 2018-11), which addressed implementation issues related to the new lease standard. These and certain other lease-related ASUs have generally been codified in ASC 842. ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (ASC 840). ASC 842 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Under ASC 842, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that reporting period (for “emerging growth company” from January 1, 2020). The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2020 using the effective date transition method. Prior period results continue to be presented under ASC 840 based on the accounting standards originally in effect for such periods.

 

The Company has elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842 to leases that commenced before January 1, 2020, including the package of practical expedients. The election of the package of practical expedients resulted in the Company not reassessing prior conclusions under ASC 840 related to lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs for expired and existing leases prior to January 1, 2020. The Company elected the practical expedient to not record short-term leases on its consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows. See Note 10 for additional information.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (for “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2020). The Company will be evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted (for “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2019). The Company has adopted this standard effective from January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Business Acquisition

 

ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, such as trade names, but instead tested at least annually for impairment (which the Company tests each year end, absent any impairment indicators) and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.

CannaKorp Inc.

 

Effective January 25, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with CannaKorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CannaKorp”). Company had previously entered into a Letter of Intent with CannaKorp dated November 30, 2018 which was disclosed in the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed December 4, 2018.

 

The Exchange Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, the Company issued to the CannaKorp shareholders an aggregate of 30,407,412 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on a price per share of $0.10, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of CannaKorp held by the CannaKorp shareholders. In addition, the Company will issue Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”) in exchange for all outstanding and promised CannaKorp stock options. The Warrants will grant the holders thereof the right to purchase up to approximately 7,211,213 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company will also assume all outstanding liabilities of CannaKorp. Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, CannaKorp will continue its business operations as a subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was closed effective March 1, 2019.

 

Due to the publicly traded nature of the Company’s shares of the common stock, the equity issuance of the shares was considered to be a more reliable measurement of fair market value of the transaction compared to having a separate valuation of the net assets.

 

This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of assets, liabilities and intangible assets and the purchase price allocation as of March 1, 2019 was as follows:

During the six month and year ended June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, the Company has identified no circumstances which would call for further evaluation of goodwill impairment related to Canary.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. In assessing whether goodwill is impaired, the Company utilize the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to statement of operations.

 

8. Related Party Transactions and Balances

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company expensed $147,088 (June 30, 2019: $692,558) in management service fee for services provided by the current key officers of the company.

10. Operating Lease Right-Of-Use Assets and Lease Liability

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and applying the standard’s transition provisions at January 1, 2020, the effective date. The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude from balance sheet reporting those leases with initial terms of 12 months or less.  The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components are recognized when the obligation is probable.

 

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As an implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.  The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Options for lease renewals have been excluded from the lease term (and lease liability) for the majority of the Company’s leases as the reasonably certain threshold is not met.

  

The Company does not own any real property. It currently leases two office/facility spaces. For accounting purposes, this lease is treated as an operating lease. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognized $1,657,076 (CAD $2,258,212) of right-to-use assets as operating leases and operating lease obligations. The right-to-use asset was reduced by $1,473,185 (CAD $2,089,921) due to recognition of the prior deferred rent liability which was eliminated upon adoption of ASC 842. Details of these leases are detailed below:

 

The Company is a party to a 5-year lease agreement (initiated on September 2018) with respect to its office premises. Total minimum rent for the premises is $814 (CAD $1,100) plus applicable taxes per month. On the first anniversary date, the minimum rent per month will increase to $835 (CAD $1,138) plus applicable taxes, on the second anniversary date, the minimum rent per month will increase to $855 (CAD $1,166) plus applicable taxes, on the third anniversary date, the minimum rent per month will increase to $876 (CAD $1,193) plus applicable taxes, on the fourth anniversary date, the minimum rent per month will increase to $896 (CAD $1,221) plus applicable taxes.

 

The Company’s subsidiary, Canary, is a party to a 10-year lease agreement (initiated on July 2014) with respect to its facility to produce Medical Marijuana. The lease agreement was amended effective January 1, 2020, where the amended 10-year term starts on May 1, 2020 and provides the Company an option to extend for three (3) additional terms of ten (10) years. Additionally, effective January 1, 2020, the amended agreement increased the minimum rent to $25,683 (CAD $35,000) plus applicable taxes per month and on each anniversary date, commencing from January 1, 2021, the minimum rent will increase by 1.00%. Furthermore, only the current 10-year term has been factored into the calculation of the lease liability. Effective May 1, 2020, due to the implementation of the new lease, CAD 988,293 was forgiven by the landlord and one vendor.

 

These leases will expire between 2023 and 2030. The weighted average discount rate used for these leases were 16% (average borrowing rate of the Company). Maturities of lease liabilities were:

 

2020   $ 159,189  
2021   $ 321,624  
2022   $ 324,982  
2023   $ 324,705  
Thereafter   $ 2,086,493  
Total lease payment   $ 3,216,993  
Less imputed interest   $ (1,590,437 )
Present value of lease liabilities   $ 1,626,556  
Current portion   $ (70,377 )
Non-current portion   $ 1,556,179  

 

Below is the reconciliation of the net operating lease presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations:

 

    For the     For the  
    three months ended     six months ended  
    June 30, 2020     June 30, 2020  
Gross operating lease expense   $ 67,472     $ 150,754  
Gross rent and utilities expenses   $ 31,788     $ 62,601  
Recoverable expenses from JVCo related to rent and utilities   $ (90,711 )   $ (90,711 )
    $ 8,549     $ 122,644  

 

As explained in Note 6, the JVCo reimburses certain percentage of gross expenses incurred by Canary which includes rent and utilities. Due to this unique circumstance and since operating lease expense are related to rent expenses, the Company has decided to group the operating lease expenses, all lease related expenses and the recoverable amount from JVCo to show a net operating lease expense. 

 

11. Convertible Promissory Notes

 

Interest amounting to $11,701 was accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (June 30, 2019: $24,482).

 

Principal amount outstanding as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $3,128 and $200,488, respectively. As at June 30, 2020, the entire balance was current while in comparison, as at December 31, 2019, $32,188 is current portion while $168,300 is the non-current portion. 

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company settled the outstanding balance of Note R in full with a cash payment and recorded a loss of $43,156 as settlement of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The loss is due to the prepayment penalty as per the note agreement. In addition, the Company converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of Note I during quarter ended June 30, 2020.

 

All notes maturing prior to the date of this report are outstanding.

12. Stockholders’ Equity

 

On July 3, 2017, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware to increase its authorized common stock to 20,000,000,000 shares. The Company’s authorized preferred stock remained at 20,000,000 shares. 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share shall be designated as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”).

 

Effective September 25, 2018, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware to decrease its authorized common stock to 850,000,000 shares. The Company’s authorized preferred stock remained at 20,000,000 shares.

 

Capitalization

 

The Company is authorized to issue 850,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of which 563,277,094 shares are outstanding as at June 30, 2020 (at December 31, 2019: 571,145,968 shares of common stock issued and outstanding). The Company is also authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, of which 1,000,000 shares were outstanding as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

As of June 30, 2020, convertible notes, warrants and preferred stock warrants outstanding could be converted into 8,954,352 (December 31, 2019: 27,535,127), 407,217,495 (December 31, 2019: 408,950,827) and 100,000,000 (December 31, 2019: 100,000,000) shares of common stock, respectively. These together will exceed the authorized common share limit; however, majority of the warrants are unlikely to be exercised due to the depressed share price.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be determined by the board of directors. The board of directors may fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by the stockholders of the Company, except that no holder of preferred stock shall have pre-emptive rights. Any shares of preferred stock so issued would typically have priority over the common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. The board of directors does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or otherwise.

 

F-21

 

 

Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”)

 

Dividends shall be declared and set aside for any shares of Series A Stock in the same manner and amount as for the Common Stock. Series A Stock, as a class, shall have voting rights equal to a multiple of 2X the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding that are entitled to vote on any matter requiring shareholder approval. The Series A Stock holders shall not vote as a separate class but shall vote together with the common stock on all matters, including any amendment to increase or decrease the authorized capital stock. Upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the corporation, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed to the holders of common stock and the holders of the Series A Stock ratably without any preference to the holders of the Series A Stock. Shares of Series A Stock can be converted at any time into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the rate of One Hundred (100) shares of Common Stock for each One (1) share of Series A Stock.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors in its discretion from funds legally available therefore.

 

Holders of common stock have no pre-emptive rights to purchase the Company’s common stock. There are no conversion or redemption rights or sinking fund provisions with respect to the common stock. The Company may issue additional shares of common stock which could dilute its current shareholder’s share value.

13. Earnings (loss) Per Share

 

FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share provides for calculations of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at June 30, 2020, diluted EPS excludes the change due in fair value of derivative value and gain on forgiveness/settlement of debt which is causing the operating loss to turn into a net income, resulting in the basic and diluted EPS being same for this period.

Contingencies

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, a terminated employee of Canary has filed a lawsuit against the Company amounting to approximately $1,540,980 (CAD $2,100,000) in Ontario, Canada. Currently, the Company is defending its position and believes that the ultimate decision will be in favor of the Company. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the amount of estimated future cash flows, if any, relating to this claim, no provision has been recognized.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, a terminated employee of Canary had delivered a demand letter claiming wrongful dismissal. A settlement was reached in the amount of $5,412 (CAD $7,375) which were due within 30 days of the execution of the settlement agreement. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company has paid the settlement amount in full.

During quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company settled with the employee in the amount of $7,003 (CAD $9,543).

 

A complaint for damages in the amount of $150,000 was lodged against CannaKorp by the former Chief Financial Officer of the CannaKorp for outstanding professional fees. No claim has been registered and is working with management for a settlement. The Management are of the view that no material losses will arise in respect of the legal claim at the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. As at June 30, 2020, $188,865 has been recorded in the CannaKorp’s payable. Due to the uncertainty of timing and the amount of estimated future cash flows, if any, relating to this claim, no further amount has been recognized.

 

A complaint for damages was lodged against the Company by cGreen for missed payment of the January 2020, non-issuance of 7 million shares as promised in the agreement and loss in the share value. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company was in arbitration with cGreen for the breaches of the terms of the License Agreement, however, through an early mediation, both companies reached to a settlement agreement to settle the breaches of the contract on July 27, 2020 (“Effective Date”). As per the settlement agreement, the License Agreement has been terminated and the Company does not have to issue the 10 million shares nor pay the outstanding royalty payable in the amount of $1,191,860. As consideration, the Company will pay $130,000 within 30 days of the Effective Date and $100,000 in monthly installments of $10,000 commencing in April 2021 to cGreen resulting in a gain on settlement in the amount of $1,704,860.

 

Commitments

 

As per the Distribution, Collaboration and Licensing Agreement (“Agreement”) entered with Serious Seeds B.V. (“Serious Seeds”), effective December 6, 2018, the Company will issue to Serious Seeds B.V. each month 5,208 shares of common stock, beginning on the 13th month following the effective date of the Agreement and continuing through the sixtieth month of the initial term.

All of the warrants must be exercised on or before the two (2) year anniversary date of each of the warrant issuance dates. As at June 30, 2020, none of the above shares have been issued.

 

15. Restatement

 

During quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company identified that due to the change in functional currency of the Company from United States Dollar to Canadian Dollar during year ended December 31, 2019, the outstanding warrants as at December 31, 2019 no longer meet the scope exception of ASC 815 and therefore, should not be considered indexed to its own stock and as a result, these warrants should be re-classified from additional paid-in-capital to liability as at December 31, 2019.

 

As a result of this restatement, the following line items were restated in the comparative balance sheet as at December 31, 2019:

Overview

 

Target Group Inc. (“Target Group” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 2, 2013, under our original name of River Run Acquisition Corporation. On May 5, 2014, we issued 500,000 shares of common stock to Rubin Schindermann and 500,000 shares of Common Stock to Alexander Starr. With the issuance of these shares and the redemption of 19,500,000 shares of common stock issued to our original officers, directors and shareholders, we effected a change of control. Mr. Schindermann and Mr. Starr became our new officers and directors. They accepted the resignations of our original founding officers and directors. Effective May 13, 2014, the Company changed its name to Chess Supersite Corporation.

 

On July 23, 2014, we acquired certain assets (“Acquisition”) of Chess Supersite, Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario, Canada (“Chess Canada”). The Acquisition was consummated pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Chess Canada. In the Acquisition, we acquired all right, title and interest in and to the properties, assets, interests and rights of Chess Canada, including the contracts and intellectual property which are related to the business of developing, operating and maintaining a website focused on the game of chess. Chess Supersite, Inc. is under the common control of Rubin Schindermann and Alexander Starr.

 

Our original business comprised the operation of an extensive chess gaming website under the name ChessStars™. This comprehensive user-friendly web site www.chessstars.com, offered a state-of-the-art playing zone, broadcasts of the major tournaments, intuitive mega database, chess skilled contests and much more.

 

On July 3, 2018, we filed an amendment in our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Target Group Inc. Effective October 18, 2018, our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTCQB platform operated by OTC Markets Group Inc, under the symbol “CBDY”.

 

Effective December 12, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the termination of our ChessStars™ online chess playing platform effective December 31, 2018. We will seek to sell all of the assets that comprise the ChessStars™ business. to a third-party buyer at the best possible price.

 

During the second quarter of 2020, the global spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) continued to have a significant impact on the Canadian and global economy and customer purchasing behaviour, while equity markets remained volatile. However, these factors have not impacted the Company’s operations, financial results for the quarter.

Business and Plan of Operations

 

Cannabis Business-Canada

 

We are now engaged in the cultivation, processing and distribution of curated cannabis products for the adult-use medical and recreational cannabis market in Canada and, where legalized by state legislation, in the United States. We believe that there is a shift in the public’s perception of cannabis from a state of prohibition to a state of legalization. In October 2018, Canada became the first major industrialized nation to legalize adult-use cannabis at the national federal level. Cannabis is still heavily regulated. However, the medical use of cannabis is now permitted in up to 29 countries and many more countries have reformed, or are considering reforming, their cannabis uses laws to include the recreational use of cannabis.

 

In the 2016 publication by Deloitte, Insights and Opportunities Recreational Marijuana, the project size of the Canadian adult-use market ranged from CDN$4.9 billion to CDN$8.7 billion annually. In the 2018 publication by Deloitte, A Society in Transition, an Industry Ready to Boom, the projected size of the Canadian adult-use market in 2019 ranged from CDN$1.8 billion to CDN$4.3 billion. The Canadian medical cannabis industry experienced substantial growth since 2014. Health Canada projects the Canadian cannabis market will reach CDN$1.3 billion in annual value by 2024.

 

We intend to position ourselves with a core emphasis on co-packaging services to accommodate all consumer-packaged goods required for the sophisticated cannabis market in Canada and internationally. This will integrate cannabinoid research, analytical testing, product development and manufacturing.

 

Our product manufacturing will include, but will not be limited to the following:

 

  · Cannabis flower pods for vaporizer use
  · Cannabis extract pods for vaporizer use
  · Cannabis pre-rolls
  · K-Cup infused coffee and tea pods
  · Infused cannabis beverages
  · Infused cannabis edibles
  · Infused topical products and CBD wellness products.

 

Acquisitions

 

To take advantage of the opportunity resulting from the legalization of adult-use cannabis in Canada, we completed several strategic acquisitions and entered into several significant agreements as follows:

 

Visava Inc./Canary Rx Inc.

 

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Visava Inc., a private Ontario, Canada corporation (“Visava”). Visava owns 100% of Canary Rx Inc, (“Canary”), a Canadian corporation that operates a 44,000 square foot facility located in Ontario’s Garden Norfolk County for the production of cannabis. Canary is a late stage Canadian licensed cannabis producer under Health Canada’s Cannabis Act (“Bill C-45”). Canary expects to produce at least 3,600,000 grams of cannabis per year, beginning in the third quarter of 2020.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to the Visava shareholders an aggregate of 25,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock held by the Visava shareholders. In addition of its Common Stock, the Company issued to the Visava shareholders, prorata Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share of $0.10 for a period of two years following the issuance date of the Warrants. The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement closed effective August 2, 2018. Visava will continue its business operations as a first-tier wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with Canary operating as our second-tier subsidiary. 

 

CannaKorp Inc.

 

Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange dated January 25, 2019 (“Exchange Agreement”), on March 1, 2019 we completed the acquisition of Massachusetts –based CannaKorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CannaKorp”). CannaKorp has developed a single-use pre-measured pod and vaporizer system for consumers interested in vaporizing natural herbs, including cannabis. The patent-pending system is known as The Wisp™ and Wisp Pods™. The Wisp™ vaporizer system extracts the medically beneficial compounds more efficiently while simultaneously offering a much safer and enjoyable experience than other alternatives.

 

Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we issued 30,407,712 shares of our common stock to the exchanging CannaKorp shareholders in exchange for 99.8% of the outstanding common stock held by the CannaKorp shareholders. CannaKorp will continue to operate as our subsidiary.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company was in arbitration with cGreen for the breaches of the terms of the License Agreement, however, through an early mediation, both companies reached to a settlement agreement to settle the breaches of the contract on July 27, 2020 (“Effective Date”). As per the settlement agreement, the License Agreement has been terminated and the Company does not have to issue the 10 million shares nor pay the outstanding royalty payable in the amount of $1,191,860. As consideration, the Company will pay $130,000 within 30 days of the Effective Date and $100,000 in monthly installments of $10,000 commencing in April 2021 to cGreen.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the intangible asset was written off based on management’s review and evaluation of its recoverability.

 

Nabis Holding Sales Agreement

 

Effective September 17, 2019, CannaKorp entered into a Purchase, Licensing and Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”) with Nabis Arizona Property LLC of Scottsdale, Arizona (“Nabis”) concerning the distribution of CannaKorp’s WispVaporizer and Wisp™ Pods in Arizona. The term of the Agreement is three (3) years with automatic renewals for additional one-year periods unless the Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms. Nabis is required to pay CannaKorp $45,000 for the equipment needed to manufacture the WISP™ Pods, of which $4,500 will be paid within three (3) calendar days of Nabis obtaining regulatory approval of its vertically integrated license and the balance of $40,500 within 180 days of the effective date of the Agreement.

 

Under the Agreement, Nabis is licensed to manufacture the WISP™ Pods and to sell the WISP™ Pods in conjunction with the sale of the WISP™ Vaporizer. Nabis is required to meet minimum quarterly orders of two hundred (200) WISP™ Vaporizers and five thousand (5,000) WISP™ Pods cartridges. Nabis is licensed to sell the WISP™ Vaporizer and the WISP™ Pods to end users in Arizona, excluding Amazon, eBay, Walmart or other multistate/national brick and mortar or online sales. CannaKorp has granted Nabis a right of first refusal to obtain an exclusive license in Michigan and in Washington for the same rights granted to Nabis in Arizona.

 

As of the date of this report, the equipment to Nabis has been shipped and the CannaKorp has provided Nabis an additional 180 days before invoicing Nabis for the equipment. Once when the additional 180-day mark has passed, the Company will invoice Nabis. Additionally, the first quarter of the Nabis agreement minimums were shipped and invoiced (200 Wisp Units and 5000 Pod Assemblies to enable Nabis to manufacture 5000 complete Wisp Pods) for online and retail distribution in the Arizona Market. Nabis has had delays in rolling out all the products for which they have exclusive licenses with, and the Company expects their next order will likely be in the next 60 to 90 days. The delay is primarily due to the effects of pandemic and slowing down of the economy in United States of America.

 

Joint Venture Agreement

 

Effective May 14, 2020, Canary entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture”) with 9258159 Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (referred to as “Thrive Cannabis”) and 2755757 Ontario Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (referred to as “JVCo”).

During the term of the Joint Venture, JVCo will be responsible for the administration, operation and management of the Licensed Site Portion and all proceeds from the sale of the cannabis and related cannabis products cultivated therein will be payable to the JVCo.

 

In addition, Canary, Thrive Cannabis, and JVCo entered into a Unanimous Shareholder Agreement dated May 14, 2020 governing the management and administration of the business of JVCo.

 

As per the Joint Venture, Canary will provide the JVCo with a Hard Cost Loan with the maximum amount of $880,560 (CAD $1,200,000). This loan will bear an interest rate of 7% per annum and will be secured against the personal property of the JVCo and Thrive will guarantee one-half (1/2) of the loan. As at June 30, 2020, the loan advanced amounts to $25,683 (CAD $35,000) and interest income charged for the six months ended in amount of $178 (CAD $243) is included in other income on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and interest receivable in the amount of $178 (CAD $243) is included in receivable from joint venture on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim balance sheet.

Results of Operations

 

We have not generated significant revenue to date and consequently our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. Our analysis on the performance of the Company is as follows:

 

Balance sheet – As at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019

 

Cash

 

At June 30, 2020 we had cash of $2,946 compared to $10,487 as at December 31, 2019. The decrease is due to funds advanced from a related party as loans during the current period ended offset by payments of salaries, consulting, professional and legal expenses and outstanding payables during the period.

 

Prepaid asset

 

At June 30, 2020 we had prepaid expenses of $62,616 compared to $37,702 as at December 31, 2019. The balance represents the retainer fees paid to our lawyer, security deposit for the leased facility and retainer for vendors services.

 

Sales tax recoverable

 

At June 30, 2020, we had $72,283 (December 31, 2019: $48,744) of gross sales tax recoverable. This is due to sales tax paid by the subsidiary on expenses incurred during the year which are recoverable from the government.

 

We recorded an allowance of 25% of the sales tax recoverable stemming from the potential uncollectible balances within the outstanding sales tax recoverable amount. As of June 30, 2020, the balance of the allowance is $18,071 (December 31, 2019: $12,186).

Goodwill and intangible asset

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets of our subsidiaries at the date of acquisition.

 

In addition, intangible assets represent the Exclusive License Agreement entered with cGreen. The value of the license is based on 10 million common stock valued at the market rate of the stock prevailing on August 8, 2019 and the royalty payments in the amount of $2,243,000. The asset is amortized over the terms of license i.e. 10 years. During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the intangible asset was written off based on our management’s review and evaluation of the intangible asset’s recoverability.

 

Fixed assets and capital work in progress

 

The Company initiated construction on its 44,000 square foot cannabis cultivation facility in September of 2017. Since then, extensive demolition and structural upgrades have been carried out at the site. During six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company has capitalized $1,314 (December 31, 2019: $3,510,401) in payments to multiple vendors for the upgrade and renovation of the facility.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As at June 30, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $3,546,893 (December 31, 2019: $4,922,069). We are actively seeking various financing operations to meet the deficit capital requirements.

 

To date we have relied on third parties to provide financing for our operations by way of loans and private placements. The proceeds may not be sufficient to effectively develop our business to the fullest extent to allow us to maximize our revenue potential, in which case, we will need additional capital.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have 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 or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

  

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been performed, the amount is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Other critical accounting policies are described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On July 27, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with cGreen. The License Agreement, as explained in Note 1, has been terminated and the Company does not have to issue the 10 million shares nor pay the outstanding royalty payable in the amount of $1,191,860. As consideration for the settlement, the Company will pay $130,000 within 30 days of the Effective Date and $100,000 in monthly installments of $10,000 commencing in April 2021 to cGreen resulting in a gain on settlement in the amount of $1,704,860.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), we have carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in internal controls

 

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Canary hereby grants to JVCo non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Canary Marks solely and strictly as required to operate the Business and undertake the Activities. JVCo hereby agrees that it has no, and will acquire no, proprietary rights whatsoever in the Canary Marks and further agrees as follows:

 

(i) To comply with Canary's guidelines and instructions regarding use of the Canary Marks as communicated to JVCo from time to time;

 

(ii) In the event Canary notifies JVCo that such use is not in conformance with Canary's guidelines and instructions, to promptly bring such use into conformance;

 

(iii) To ensure that all use of the Canary Marks will not reflect adversely upon the good name or good will of Canary;

 

(iv) Not to use the Canary Marks (or any part thereof) as part of, or in combination with, any other names or trademarks;

 

(v) Not to register (or aid any third party in registering) the Canary Marks (or confusingly similar mark) or take any action inconsistent with Canary's ownership of the Canary Marks in any jurisdiction;

 

(vi) That all usage of the Canary Marks will be on behalf of, and inure to the benefit of, Canary; and

 

(vii) On the written direction of Canary immediately cease and desist all use of the Canary Marks provided that any inability of JVCo to perform the Activities as a result of such direction shall be excused and not constitute a default hereunder by JVCo.

(d) JVCo and Canary recognize that Thrive is licensing the use of its genetic cannabis strains and phenotypes of such strains, as well as the derivatives thereof, (whether derived from genetic manipulation, cloning, or phenotype propagation before or after the Effective Date by either Thrive of JVCo) (the "Thrive Genetics") for the Grow and Business. Such Thrive Genetics are the sole property of Thrive. Thrive hereby grants to a JVCo and Canary a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Thrive Genetics as required to operate the Business and undertake the Activities. JVCo and Canary hereby agree that they have no, and will acquire no, proprietary rights whatsoever in the Thrive Genetics and further agrees that upon the termination or expiry of this Agreement, such license shall terminate and the JVCo and Canary shall destroy any Thrive Genetics each may have in their possession and shall not continue to propagate same, in any manner whatsoever. For clarity, Canary shall have no right to propagate, grow, harvest or otherwise develop or use the Thrive Genetics for its own purposes beyond the JVCo's use under the Grow License and in accordance with the Activities under this Agreement unless otherwise granted by Thrive by way of other mutual agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JVCo and Thrive covenant and agree to assist Canary throughout the Term of this Agreement to create and propagate, for Canary use and benefit following the currency of this Agreement, its own genetic cannabis strains and phenotypes of such strains of quality and nature which are reasonably competitive within the marketplace.

 

(e) To the extent that JVCo or Canary breach section 12(d), hereto, and continue to propagate any Genetics beyond the termination or expiry of this Agreement or outside the scope of the limited license, the parties acknowledge that Thrive shall suffer irreparable harm and would likely cause damages that are both unascertainable and not compensable through monetary relief. Accordingly, the JVCo and Canary agree, without prejudice to any and all other rights available to Thrive, that in the event of such violation of section 12(d), an mandatory or other injunction or equitable remedy shall be the only effective method to protect Thrive's rights and property as set out, and that an interim injunction shall be granted immediately on the commencement of any action by Thrive.
