NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS

CannaPharmaRx, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “ Company ”) is a Delaware corporation whose shares are publicly quoted on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. The Company began trading under its new stock ticker symbol “CPMD,” effective as of March 21, 2015. We are an early-stage pharmaceutical company whose purpose is to advance cannabinoid research and discovery using proprietary formulation and drug delivery technology currently in development.

HISTORY

The Company was originally incorporated as Golden Dragon Holding Co. in the State of Delaware in December 2010 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Concord Ventures, Inc. On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “ Share Purchase Agreement ”) with CannaPharmaRX, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“ CannaRx ”), and David Cutler, the former President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and director of the Company. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, CannaRx purchased 1,421,120 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock from Mr. Cutler and an additional 9,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock directly from the Company. As a result of the Share Purchase Agreement, CannaRx is the Company’s largest stockholder.

On May 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Plan of Merger ”) pursuant to which CannaRx would become a subsidiary of the Company. In October 2014, the Company changed its legal name to CannaPharmaRx, Inc. During the fourth quarter of 2014, in light of the Cohen litigation described in Note 7 (Legal Proceedings), the parties determined to delay the closing of the transaction contemplated by the original Plan of Merger. On March 30, 2015, the parties to the Cohen litigation entered into a full settlement and release of claims agreement. With the Cohen litigation matter settled, on April 21, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with CannaRx and CPHR Acquisition Corp., a Delaware Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ Acquisition Sub ”), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub will merge with and into CannaRx with CannaRx remaining as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the outstanding shares of CannaRx will be converted into 9,750,000 shares of the Company (the “ Merger ”). The Merger Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Plan of Merger from May 2014. The Merger is subject to conditions to closing customary of transactions of this type, including, among others, CannaRx shareholder approval. The parties are proceeding to obtain approval of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of CannaRx. Closing of the Merger is contemplated to occur in the second quarter of 2015, though no assurance can be given that this will occur. Upon the closing of the Merger, CannaRx will no longer be a stockholder of the Company, but the holders of CannaRx stock immediately prior to the Merger will become stockholders of the Company.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) “FASB Accounting Standard Codification™” (the “ Codification ”) which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”) in the United States. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that these estimates could be materially revised within the next year.

Table of Contents

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of less than three months.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company has acquired $102,800 in property and equipment, of which $100,721 was purchased during the year ended December 31, 2014, and another $2,078 purchased in the first quarter of 2015. Of this amount, $50,000 represents the capitalized cost of our proprietary RECRUIT Registry TM website development. This patient registry project was completed in the fourth quarter of 2014, although it will not become operational until mid-2015. Accordingly, no depreciation expense was recorded against the capitalized cost of the RECRUIT Registry to date.

In addition to the investment in our patient registry, another $52,800 has been invested in office and computer equipment, primarily incurred since the establishment of the Company’s new headquarters in Carneys Point, New Jersey on November 1, 2014. Accumulated depreciation to date totaled $6,155 against this $52,800 of fixed assets actually placed in service. Depreciation expenses totaled $3,135 and $-0- in the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Depreciation expense been calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from three to seven years.

DEFERRED COSTS AND OTHER OFFERING COSTS

Costs with respect to raising capital in the two private placements of the Company’s common stock were expensed by the Company both in 2014 and 2015. These costs were applied as internal operational expenses. We had no deferred costs and other stock offering costs as of either March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

However, the Company did incur accumulated costs totaling $25,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 associated with the proposed financing of a specialty pharmacy acquisition, the terms of which are currently being negotiated. No assurance can be provided that an agreement to complete such acquisition will be entered into or that such acquisition will be consummated. These non-refundable fees for underwriting and due diligence on behalf of the lenders will be amortized over the life of the loans(s).

Future costs associated with raising capital, be it debt or equity, may more likely be incurred as a direct variable cost with third parties. Our intent is to initially defer these costs and ultimately offset against the proceeds from these capital or financial transactions if successful, or expensed if the proposed financial transaction proves unsuccessful.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In the event that facts and circumstances indicated that the cost of long-lived and intangible assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability will be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset will be compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value will be required.

FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

 

Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. For example, Level 2 assets and liabilities may include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments.
Level 3: Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private equity investments and long-term derivative contracts.

 

8


Table of Contents

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company does not have any assets or liabilities which are considered Level 2 or 3 in the hierarchy.

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. There were no such adjustments in the periods ended March 31, 2015, nor December 31, 2014.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value for financial instruments was determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involved uncertainties and could not be determined with exact precision. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and the related party loan, each approximate their carrying value due either to their short length to maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes under the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses totaled $1,157 in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and $-0- for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital investments. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. From our inception, there have been no differences between our comprehensive loss and net loss. Our comprehensive loss was identical to our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Income (loss) per share is presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU ”), Earning per Share (Topic 260) which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“ EPS ”) on the consolidated income statements. Basic EPS would exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities but does include the restricted shares of common stock issued. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock. Basic EPS calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Stock options outstanding at March 31, 2015 to purchase 4,275,000 shares of common stock are excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share since their effect is antidilutive.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We have adopted ASC Topic 718, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , which establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with guidance now incorporated in ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock options and

Table of Contents

warrants issued to employees and non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which we expect to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of stock warrants was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate and dividend yield.

On November 1, 2014, the Company granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to each of its employees for a total of 4,800,000 options granted. Including the November 1, 2014 grant and all subsequent option grants, the Company has granted a total of 5,475,000 options. As a result of forfeitures, 4,275,000 options remain outstanding as of March 31, 2015. Stock-based compensation expenses totaled $939,569 and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Our activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 comprised a single segment.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On June 10, 2014, the FASB issued update ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915). Amongst other things, the amendments in this update removed the definition of development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity; (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. However, entities are permitted to early adopt for any annual or interim reporting period for which the financial statements have yet to be issued. The Company has elected to early adopt these amendments, and accordingly, has not labeled the financial statements as those of a development stage entity and has not presented inception-to-date information on the respective financial statements.

We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

 

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY

The Company had cash on hand of $1,385,003 as of March 31, 2015, but no revenue-producing business or other sources of income. Additionally, the Company had outstanding liabilities totaling $2,148,630 (of which $1,597,500 subsequently was settled in May 2015 with the issuance of common stock) and a stockholders’ deficit of $551,632.

We had a working capital deficit of $623,276 at March 31, 2015 (which includes an offset of $1,597,500 in current liabilities that subsequently was settled in stock in May 2015) and reported an accumulated deficit since inception (January 1, 2011) of $551,632 as of March 31, 2015.

In our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm includes an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. It is our current intention to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund ongoing operating expenses. There is no assurance that these events will be satisfactorily completed or at terms acceptable to the Company. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

 

NOTE 3. ASSETS

As of March 31, 2015, we had $1,425,354 in current assets, primarily comprised of: $1,385,003 in cash on deposit in a bank and $40,351 in prepaid insurance, $96,644 in furniture and fixtures, net of $6,155 in accumulated depreciation, and $75,000 on deposit related to the proposed acquisition of a specialty pharmacy and prepaid financing fees associated with this acquisition, the terms of which are currently being negotiated. No assurance can be provided that an agreement to complete such acquisition will be entered into or that such acquisition will be consummated.

NOTE 6. LITIGATION AND ACCRUED SETTLEMENT LIABILITIES

On October 30, 2014, Gary M. Cohen (“ Cohen ”), former President, Chief Operating Officer and board member of CannaRx, a privately-held Colorado corporation, filed a lawsuit against CannaRx and individual officer and board member, Gary Herick. On November 26, 2014, Cohen filed an amended complaint naming the Company and Gerald Crocker, James Smeeding, Robert Liess and Mathew Sherwood. In his amended complaint, Cohen alleged various employment-related contract and wrongful termination claims, as well as claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of assets, violations of corporate law regarding his access to internal corporate information, and alleged violations of U.S. federal securities laws, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Cohen’s claims arose out of the removal of Cohen as an officer and board member of CannaRx, which occurred on or about October 23, 2014. The defendants successfully removed Cohen’s lawsuit from state court in Hillsborough County, Florida—where it was filed originally—to the U.S. District Court in Tampa, Florida.

On November 11, 2014, the Company, under its former name Golden Dragon Holding Co. (“ GDHC ”), sued Cohen in U.S. District Court in New Jersey for libel and tortious interference.

On March 30, 2015, the Company executed a Confidential Settlement and Release of Claims Agreement dated March 30, 2015 by and between the Company, CannaRx, Cohen and the other individuals named above (the “ Settlement Agreement ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the lawsuit filed in Florida on October 30, 2014 against the Company, Canna Colorado, Herick, Crocker, Smeeding, Sherwood and Liess by Cohen has been resolved and dismissed. The parties amicably resolved their differences before any discovery occurred or before any decision by the court on the merits of any claims. The Company and all the individuals who had been sued categorically denied of all Mr. Cohen’s claims and allegations, maintained that the allegations were false and were prepared to assert counterclaims of their own. As part of the parties’ resolution, Cohen has agreed to retract his allegations.

As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase all of Mr. Cohen’s 2,250,000 shares of CannaRx for a purchase price of $350,000, with $85,000 payable up front and the remainder payable in equal installments of $15,000 per month over the next 17 months, and a payment of $10,000 in the eighteenth month. The amount of cash payable in the next year of $250,000 is included in current liabilities. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 unregistered restricted shares of its common stock to Mr. Cohen as part of the Settlement Agreement. The Company valued those shares at $1,597,500 based on the trading average of the Company’s stock over the ten days preceding entry into the Settlement Agreement and recorded an expense in such amount during the period ended December 31, 2014. The liability associated with the obligation to deliver 600,000 shares is reflected in current liabilities as of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These shares subsequently were issued by the Company to Mr. Cohen on May 4, 2015 in full settlement of the stock portion of liability and $100,000 has been paid to Mr. Cohen in cash through May 12, 2015 in accordance with the settlement payment terms, leaving a remaining liability of $250,000 as of May 12, 2015 to be paid in cash in the future.

In addition, the Company and Cohen have resolved their differences in the Company’s lawsuit filed against Cohen on November 11, 2014 in New Jersey. The Company has dismissed its claims against Cohen of libel and tortious interference.

HISTORY

The Company was originally incorporated as Golden Dragon Holding Co. in the State of Delaware in December 2010 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Concord Ventures, Inc. On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “ Share Purchase Agreement ”) with CannaPharmaRX, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“ CannaRx ”), and David Cutler, the former President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and director of the Company. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, CannaRx purchased 1,421,120 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock from Mr. Cutler and an additional 9,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock directly from the Company. As a result of the Share Purchase Agreement, CannaRx is the Company’s largest stockholder.

On May 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Plan of Merger ”) pursuant to which CannaRx would become a subsidiary of the Company. In October 2014, the Company changed its legal name to CannaPharmaRx, Inc. During the fourth quarter of 2014, in light of the Cohen litigation described in “Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings,” the parties determined to delay the closing of the transaction contemplated by the original Plan of Merger. On March 30, 2015, the parties to the Cohen litigation entered into a full settlement and release of claims agreement. With the Cohen litigation matter settled, on April 21, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with CannaRx and CPHR Acquisition Corp., a Delaware Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ Acquisition Sub ”), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub will merge with and into CannaRx with CannaRx remaining as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the outstanding shares of CannaRx will be converted into 9,750,000 shares of the Company (the “ Merger ”). The Merger Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Plan of Merger from May 2014. The Merger is subject to conditions to closing customary of transactions of this type, including, among others, CannaRx shareholder approval. The parties are proceeding to obtain approval of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of CannaRx. Closing of the Merger is contemplated to occur in the second quarter of 2015, though no assurance can be given that this will occur. Upon the closing of the Merger, CannaRx will no longer be a stockholder of the Company, but the holders of CannaRx stock immediately prior to the Merger will become stockholders of the Company.

BUSINESS OF OUR COMPANY

We intend to become a pharmaceutical company whose purpose is to advance cannabinoid discovery. Cannabinoids are a class of chemicals active in the endocannabinoid system. We intend to advance endocannabinoid science and research and development and to work to bring novel prescription, personal care, and veterinary cannabinoid-based products to market in the U.S. and worldwide.

We intend to operate our operations in compliance with all applicable federal laws and regulations, including those enforced by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission. We are NOT a “marijuana” industry-related marketing or service company attempting to operate outside of federal “marijuana” prohibitions.

Our management understands the wide range of efficacies that the cannabis plant possesses, and is applying the pharmaceutical research, manufacturing and the distribution system that is already in place to provide novel treatments to patients who can benefit from cannabinoid therapies.

We intend to serve the marketplace for drug products in the following therapeutic categories: schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, oncology, infectious disease, pain management, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory disease, gastrointestinal disorders and ophthalmology.

We have a limited operating history in our proposed business and no representation is made, nor is there any assurance, that our Company will be able to successfully operate as we intend or to raise the necessary capital required to conduct such operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had total assets of $1,597,000 including $1,385,000 in cash, $40,400 in other prepaid expenses, and $171,600 in fixed and other long term assets. On March 31, 2015, the Company also had outstanding liabilities totaling $2,148,600, including $1,947,500 related to the settlement of litigation with Gary Cohen finalized on March 30, 2015. Of this $1,947,500 litigation liability, $350,000 will be settled ultimately in cash consideration over the next 17 months, while $1,597,500 of this liability was satisfied in May 2015 with the issuance of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Cohen.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a deficit stockholders’ equity position of $551,600 and a working capital deficit of $623,276. However, upon settlement of the Cohen litigation and issuance of the shares of common stock as part of the settlement, our total liabilities were reduced by $1,597,500 with a corresponding increase in our equity position.

In March 2015, the company began offering in a private placement of shares of its unregistered restricted common stock to accredited investors at $1.50 per share (the “ Private Placement ”). Two closings have occurred under the Private Placement. Through March 31, 2015 the Company issued a total of 303,001 shares in exchange for $454,501 of anticipated gross proceeds. On April 23, 2015, an additional 166,667 shares were issued for a total of $250,000 in gross proceeds, resulting in an aggregate total of 469,668 shares to date in the offering and $704,501 in gross proceeds.

The company has no revenue-producing business or other source of income at this time.

In our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm included an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Table of Contents

It is our current intention to continue to raise debt and/or equity financing to fund our ongoing operating expenses and pursue the Plan of Reorganization as previously noted. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed. Any issuance of equity securities, if accomplished, could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 we did not recognize any revenues from our activities. We do not anticipate recognizing revenues in the near future, though we are currently in negotiations to acquire a specialty pharmacy, which upon consummation, would provide the Company with a source of operations revenue, no assurance can be provided that such acquisition will be consummated.

Research and Development Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred $559,293 in total research and development expenses, including $160,842 in cash-based expenses and $398,451 in stock-based compensation. These figures compare to no R&D expenses incurred in the three month period ended March 31, 2014. Research and development expenses consist mainly of consulting fees, salaries, and fringe benefits including stock-based compensation charges.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred $1,097,402 in general and administrative expenses, compared to $21,108 we incurred in general and administrative expenses in the three month period ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $1,076,294 period over period. In the first quarter of 2015, general and administrative expenses included $556,284 of cash-based expenses and $541,118 of stock-based compensation. The Company’s general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2015 consisted primarily of salaries and fringe benefits, including stock-based compensation, and legal fees associated with the legal proceedings described in Note 6 to the financial statements and the satisfactory appeal of a FINRA deficiency notice, which was resolved on March 20, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the company’s general and administrative expenses were primarily limited to legal and accounting expenses incurred in maintaining our public reporting status prior to commencing operations.

Operating Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized an operating loss of $1,656,695, compared to an operating loss of $21,108 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $1,635,587 due to the factors discussed above.

Interest and Other Income (Expenses) Net

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred net interest expense of $777 as a result of the financing of the Company’s annual insurance premiums. The Company incurred $4,530 in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 on the Company’s obligation under a note payable to the former majority shareholder. The decrease of $3,753 in interest expense period over period largely reflects the termination in May 2014 of the Company’s obligation under the note payable to the former majority shareholder.

Loss Before Income Tax

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a loss before income taxes of $1,657,472, compared to loss before taxes of $25,638 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $1,631,834, due to the factors discussed above.

ITEM 3. QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2015, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent and/or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitation in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of March 31, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Cohen Litigation

On October 30, 2014, Gary M. Cohen (“ Mr. Cohen ”), former President, Chief Operating Officer and board member of CannaRx, a privately-held Colorado corporation, filed a lawsuit against CannaRx and individual officer and board member Gary Herick in the Circuit Civil Court of the Thirteenth Judicial District in and for Hillsborough County, Florida, in Division T. On November 26, 2014, Mr. Cohen amended his October 30 complaint naming the Company, CannaRx and Gerald Crocker, James Smeeding, Robert Liess and Mathew Sherwood as defendants. In his amended complaint, Mr. Cohen alleged various employment-related contract and wrongful termination claims, as well as claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of assets, tortious interference with business relationships, unjust enrichment, conspiracy, violations of corporate law regarding his access to internal corporate information, a derivative action on behalf of CannaPharmaRx, Inc. and alleged violations of U.S. federal securities laws, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Mr. Cohen sought compensatory damages, disgorgement of corporate profits and distributions, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and an injunction appointing a receiver for CannaPharmaRx, Inc. Mr. Cohen’s claims arose out of the removal of Mr. Cohen as an officer and director of CannaRx, which occurred on or about October 23, 2014.

Following the filing of Mr. Cohen’s amended complaint, the defendants removed Mr. Cohen’s lawsuit from state court to the U.S. District Court in Tampa, Florida.

On November 11, 2014, the Company, under its former name Golden Dragon Holding Co. (“ GDHC ”), sued Cohen for libel and tortious interference. The Company sought compensatory damages, punitive damages, costs and attorney’s fees and injunctive relief.

On March 30, 2015, the Company executed a Confidential Settlement and Release of Claims Agreement dated March 30, 2015 by and between the Company, CannaRx, Mr. Cohen and the other individuals named above (the “ Settlement Agreement ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the lawsuit filed in Florida on October 30, 2014 against the Company, Canna Colorado, Herick, Crocker, Smeeding, Sherwood and Liess by Mr. Cohen has been resolved and dismissed. The parties amicably resolved their differences before any discovery occurred or before any decision by the court on the merits of any claims. The Company and all the individuals who had been sued categorically denied of all Mr. Cohen’s claims and allegations, maintained that the allegations were false and were prepared to assert counterclaims of their own. As part of the parties’ resolution, Mr. Cohen has agreed to retract his allegations.

As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase all of Mr. Cohen’s 2,250,000 shares of CannaRx for a purchase price of $350,000, with $85,000 payable up front and the remainder payable in equal installments of $15,000 per month over the next 17 months, and a payment of $10,000 in the eighteenth month. The amount of cash payable in the next year of $250,000 is included in current liabilities. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 unregistered restricted shares of its common stock to Mr. Cohen as part of the Settlement Agreement. The Company valued those shares at $1,597,500 based on the trading average of the Company’s stock over the ten days preceding entry into the Settlement Agreement and recorded an expense in such amount during the period ended December 31, 2014. The liability associated with the obligation to deliver 600,000 shares is reflected in current liabilities as of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These shares subsequently were issued by the Company to Mr. Cohen on May 4, 2015 in full settlement of the stock portion of liability and $100,000 has been paid to Mr. Cohen in cash through May 12, 2015 in accordance with the settlement payment terms, leaving a remaining liability of $250,000 as of May 12, 2015 to be paid in cash in the future.

In addition, the Company and Mr. Cohen have resolved their differences in the Company’s lawsuit filed against Mr. Cohen on November 11, 2014 in New Jersey. The Company has dismissed its claims against Cohen of libel and tortious interference.

FINRA Action

On January 29, 2015, the Company received a deficiency notice from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“ FINRA ”), stating that FINRA would not process the Company’s name change from October 2014 due to questions about the Company’s ownership raised in the Cohen litigation described above. The Company appealed the notice to FINRA’s Uniform Practice Code Committee, arguing, among other things, that the ownership of the Company was not at issue in the Cohen litigation. On March 20, 2015, FINRA reversed the deficiency notice and subsequently processed the Company’s request to change its name and trading symbol.

In addition to the above-mentioned matters, we may be subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims. Any such claims, whether with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention and resources. We cannot assure that the outcome of all current or future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes with respect to our risk factors disclosed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES

On January 20, 2015, the Company issued a 3-year warrant (the “ First Warrant ”) to Viridian Capital & Research, LLC (“ VCR ”) as compensation for the services rendered by VCR in connection with the delivery of a company report describing the business, technology and products, markets, growth strategy and financial aspects of the Company. The First Warrant is exercisable into 244,283 of the Company’s fully-diluted common shares at an exercise price equal to the price per share of the Company’s common stock on the 10 days preceding January 20, 2015 or $2.90. The First Warrant has a 3-year life, a cashless exercise provision and is fully transferable with the Company’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The First Warrant is callable on 60 days’ notice if (i) the Company’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ and (ii) the Company’s common stock trades at three times the exercise price of the First Warrant for 20 consecutive trading days.

On February 23, 2015, the Company issued another 3-year warrant (the “ Second Warrant ,” and together with the First Warrant, the “ VCR Warrants ”) to VCR as compensation for VCR’s services in managing and implementing investor relations strategies designed to enhance the Company’s presence, reach and mindshare with the U.S. investment community and industry. The Second Warrant is exercisable into 244,283 of the Company’s fully-diluted common shares at an exercise price equal to the price per share of the Company’s common stock on the 10 days preceding February 23, 2015 or $2.50. The Second Warrant has a 3-year life, a cashless exercise provision and is fully transferable with the Company’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Second Warrant is callable on 60 days’ notice if (i) the Company’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ and (ii) the Company’s common stock trades at three times the exercise price of the Second Warrant for 20 consecutive trading days.

With respect to the Company’s issuances of the VCR Warrants to VCR, the Company relied upon the private offering exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).

In March 2015, the Company began offering in a private placement of shares of its unregistered restricted common stock to accredited investors at $1.50 per share (the “ Private Placement ”). Two closings have occurred under the Private Placement. Through March 31, 2015 the Company issued a total of 303,001 shares in exchange for $454,500.50 of anticipated gross proceeds. On April 23, 2015, an additional 166,667 shares were issued for a total of $250,000 in gross proceeds, resulting in an aggregate total of 469,668 shares to date in the offering and $704,500.50 in gross proceeds. The shares are being offered, and upon the closing of the offering will be issued, in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D, which is a safe harbor for the private offering exemption of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The various investors that purchased common shares of the Company pursuant to the Private Placement were composed solely of accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and no more than 35 non-accredited investors.

Exhibit 10.2

EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, CONSENT, AND REPRESENTATIONS

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I understand that CannaPharmaRx, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is offering to exchange restricted Common Shares for common shares of CannaPharmaRx, Inc. (“CPI-CO”), a Colorado corporation, to the shareholders of CPI-CO pursuant to a Plan of Merger (“Plan of Merger”) attached hereto as Exhibit A and which is incorporated herein by this reference.

As a Shareholder of CPI-CO, I hereby consent to the Plan of Merger, and

I hereby offer to exchange all of my shares of CPI-CO, as shown on the transfer records of CPI-CO for equivalent number of restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) and tender all my Shares of CPI-CO herewith, on a one for one basis and upon acceptance by you, agree to become a shareholder of the Company. In order to induce the Company to accept my offer, I advise you as follows; and acknowledge:

1. Corporate Documents . Receipt of copies of Articles, Bylaws, and audited financial statements of the Company and such other documents as I have requested, I hereby acknowledge that I have received the documents including the Plan of Merger (as may be supplemented from time to time) relating to the Company and that I have carefully read the information and that I understand all of the material contained therein, and agree to the terms, and understand the risk factors as described therein.

2. Availability of Information . I hereby acknowledge that the Company has made available to me the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company and any other person or entity acting on its behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of the Plan of Merger Exchange Agreement, the financial statements and related information of the Company and the 2014 10-K of the Company and the information contained in the corporate documents, and to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information provided by the Company and any other person or entity acting on its behalf.

3. Representations and Warranties . I represent and warrant to the Company (and understand that it is relying upon the accuracy and completeness of such representations and warranties in connection with the availability of an exemption for the offer and exchange of the Shares from the registration requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws) that:

(a) RESTRICTED SECURITIES.

(I) I understand that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any state securities laws.

(II) I understand that if this exchange agreement is accepted and the Shares are issued to me, I cannot sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares unless the Shares are


registered under the Act or the state securities laws or exemptions therefrom are available (and consequently, that I must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time):

(III) I understand that the Company has no obligation now or at any time to register the Shares under the Act or the state securities laws or obtain exemptions therefrom.

(IV) I understand that the Company will restrict the transfer of the Shares in accordance with the foregoing representations.

(V) There is a limited public market for the Shares of the Company and there is no certainty that a more liquid market will ever develop or be maintained. There can be no assurance that I will be able to sell or dispose of the Shares. Moreover, no assignment, sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of the Shares can be made other than in accordance with all applicable securities laws. It is understood that a transferee may at a minimum be required to fulfill the investor suitability requirements established by the Company, or registration may be required.

(b) LEGEND.

I agree that any certificate representing the Shares will contain and be endorsed with the following, or a substantially equivalent, LEGEND:

“This share certificate has been acquired pursuant to an investment representation by the holder and shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or donated or otherwise transferred except upon the issuance of a favorable opinion by its counsel and the submission to the Company of other evidence satisfactory to and as required by counsel to the Company, that any such transfer will not violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws. These Shares are not and have not been registered in any jurisdiction.”

(c) OWN ACCOUNT.

I am the only party in interest with respect to this exchange offer, and I am acquiring the Shares for my own account for long-term investment only, and not with an intent to resell, fractionalize, divide, or redistribute all or any part of my interest to any other person.

(d) AGE: CITIZENSHIP.

I am at least twenty-one years old and a citizen of the United States.

(e) ACCURACY OF INFORMATION.

All information which I have provided to the Company concerning my financial position and knowledge of financial and business matters is correct and complete as of the date set forth

 

2


at the end hereof, and if there should be any material change in such information prior to acceptance of this exchange offer by the Company, I will immediately provide the Company with such information.

4. Exchange Procedure . I understand that this exchange is subject to each of the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Company may reject this exchange for legal reasons, and this exchange shall become binding upon the Company only when accepted, in writing, by the Company.

(b) This offer may not be withdrawn by me.

(c) The share certificates to be issued and delivered pursuant to this exchange will be issued in the name of and delivered to the undersigned.

5. Suitability . I hereby warrant and represent:

(a) That I can afford a complete loss of the investment and can afford to hold the securities being received hereunder for an indefinite period of time,

(b) That I consider this investment a suitable investment,

(c) That I am sophisticated and knowledgeable and have had prior experience in financial matters and investments, and

(d) The exchange is subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement.

6. Acknowledgement of Risks . I have been furnished and have carefully read the Plan of Merger and information relating to the Company, including this Exchange Agreement. I am aware that:

(a) There are substantial risks incident to the ownership of Shares from the Company, and such investment is speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss by me of my entire investment in the Company.

(b) No federal or state agency has passed upon the Shares or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness of this investment.

(c) The books and records of the Company will be reasonably available for inspection by me and/or my investment advisors, if any, at the Company’s place of business.

(d) All assumptions and projections set forth in any documents provided by the Company have been included therein for purposes of illustration only, and no assurance is given that actual results will correspond with the results contemplated by the various assumptions set forth therein.

(e) Prior to the completion of the exchange, CPI-CO has a very limited operating history. CPI-CO is in the development stage, and its proposed operations are subject to all of the risk inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including a limited operating history. The unlikelihood of the success of the Company must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation and operation of a new business and the competitive environment in which the Company will operate.

 

3


7. Receipt of Advice . I acknowledge that I have been advised to consult my own attorney and investment advisor concerning the investment.

8. Restrictions on Transfer . I acknowledge that the investment in the Company is an illiquid investment. In particular, I recognize that:

(a) Due to restrictions described below, the lack of any market liquid existing for these Shares, in the event I should attempt to sell my Shares in the Company, my investment will be highly illiquid and, probably must be held indefinitely.

(b) I must bear the economic risk of investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, since the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and issuance is made in reliance upon Rules 501-506 of Regulation D under the Act. Therefore, the Shares cannot be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, or hypothecated to any person unless either they are subsequently registered under said Act or an exemption from such registration is available and the favorable opinion of counsel for the Company to that effect is obtained, which is not anticipated. Further, unless said Shares are registered with the securities commission of the state in which offered and sold, I may not resell, hypothecate, transfer, assign or make other disposition of said Shares except in a transaction exempt or exempted from the registration requirement of the securities act of such state, and that the specific approval of such sales by the securities regulatory body of the state is required in some states.

(c) My right to transfer my Shares will also be restricted by the legend endorsed on the certificates.

9. Access to Information . I represent and warrant to the Company that:

(a) I have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the Plan of Merger and exchange of the Shares, including the risks of total loss in the event the Company’s business is unsuccessful.

(b) I and my investment advisors, if any, have been furnished all materials relating to the Company and its proposed activities and anything which they have requested and have been afforded the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations about the Company.

 

4


(c) The Company has answered all inquiries that I and my investment advisors, if any, have put to it concerning the Company and its proposed activities and the Exchange Agreement and exchange for the Shares.

(d) Neither I nor my investment advisors, if any, have been furnished any offering literature other than the documents attached as exhibits thereto and I and my investment advisors, if any, have relied only on the information contained in such exhibits and the information, as described in subparagraphs (b) and (c) above, furnished or made available to them by the Company.

(e) I am acquiring the Shares for my own account, as principal, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part of such Shares, and that I have no present intention, agreement or arrangement to divide my participation with others or to resell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares subscribed for unless and until I determine, at some future date, that changed circumstances, not in contemplation at the time of this exchange, makes such disposition advisable;

(f) I, the undersigned, if on behalf of a corporation, partnership, trust, or other form of business entity, affirm that: it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold Shares in the Company; recognize that the information under the caption as set forth in (a) above related to investments by an individual and does not address the federal income tax consequences of an investment by any of the aforementioned entities and have obtained such additional tax advice that I have deemed necessary; such entity has its principal place of business as set forth below; and such entity has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring Shares in the Company.

(g) I have adequate means of providing for my current needs and personal contingencies and have no need for liquidity in this investment; and

(h) The information provided by the Company is confidential and non-public and I agree that all such information shall be kept in confidence by it and neither used by it to its personal benefit (other than in connection with its exchange for the Shares) nor disclosed to any third party for any reason; provided, however, that this obligation shall not apply to any such information which (i) is part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible at the date hereof; (ii) becomes part of the public knowledge or literature and readily accessible by publication (except as a result of a breach of these provisions); or (iii) is received from third parties (except those parties who disclose such information in violation of any confidentiality agreements including, without limitation, any Exchange Agreement they may have with the Company).

10. Binding Agreement . I hereby adopt, accept, and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, and by all of the terms and conditions of the Articles of Incorporation, and amendments thereto, and By-Laws of the Company. Upon acceptance of this Exchange Agreement by the Company and issuance of the Shares, I shall become a stockholder for all purposes.

 

5


11. Agreement to Be Bound . The Exchange Agreement, upon acceptance by the Company, shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of mine.

12. Indemnification . I further represent and warrant:

(a) I hereby indemnify the Company and hold the Company harmless from and against any and all liability, damage, cost, or expense incurred on account of or arising out of:

(I) Any inaccuracy in my declarations, representations, and warranties hereinabove set forth;

(II) The disposition of any of the Shares which I will receive, contrary to my foregoing declarations, representations, and warranties; and

(III) Any action, suit or proceeding based upon (1) the claim that said declarations, representations, or warranties were inaccurate or misleading or otherwise cause for obtaining damages or redress from the Company; or (2) the disposition of any of the Shares or any part thereof.

13. Governing Law .

Exhibit A

Plan of Merger


AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of April 21, 2015 (the “EFFECTIVE DATE”), by and among CannaPharmaRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CANNA DELAWARE”), CannaPharmaRX, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“CPHR”), and CPHR Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canna Delaware (“ACQUISITION SUB”). Each of Canna Delaware, CPHR and Acquisition Sub is referred to herein individually as a “PARTY,” or collectively as the “PARTIES.”

RECITALS

A. On May 15, 2014, CPHR entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among Canna Delaware (formerly known as Golden Dragon Holding Co.), CPHR and Acquisition Sub (the “ORIGINAL AGREEMENT”).

B. On December 30, 2014, the Board of Directors of Canna Delaware voted to terminate the Original Agreement, but said agreement was never formally terminated in writing.

C. The respective Boards of Directors of Canna Delaware, CPHR and Acquisition Sub now desire to consummate the transactions contemplated by the original Agreement, modified as provided herein and in connection therewith, have each approved and adopted this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case after making a determination that this Agreement and such transactions are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, such corporation and its stockholders.

D. Canna Delaware and CPHR intend to effect a transaction (the “MERGER”), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub will merge with and into CPHR and CPHR will survive, as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CPHR (the “CPHR SHARES”) will be converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Canna Delaware upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

E. The Parties intend that the Merger contemplated by this Agreement will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “TAX CODE”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and mutual covenants herein made, the parties hereby agree to the foregoing and as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the attached SCHEDULE 1.

SECTION 2. THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT. The Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as follows.


SECTION 3. THE MERGER.

(a) EFFECTING THE MERGER .
