Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Current investors and potential investors should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below together with all other information contained in this Report before making investment decisions with respect to our common stock. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, results of operations and financial condition. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and our future growth prospects would be materially and adversely affected. Under these circumstances, the trading price and value of our common stock could decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in this Report are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are not presently aware, or that we currently consider immaterial, may also affect our business operations.

Past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and current and potential investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Related to our Securities

There is no assurance that the Company will ever have enough authorized shares of common stock to honor the conversion or exercise of its convertible notes, warrants and other derivative securities.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 9,942,223,868 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2016, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 5,000,000 shares were issued as Series A Preferred Stock and then converted into common stock and retired and of which 5,000,000 remain unissued and undesignated. The Company may also be obligated to issue an additional 114,889,067,758 shares of common stock including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options and warrants and excluding shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible notes. There is no assurance that the Company will ever have enough authorized shares of common stock to honor the exercise and conversion requests of its options and warrants.

We can sell additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock, without consulting stockholders and without offering shares to existing stockholders, which would result in dilution of existing stockholders’ interests in our company and could depress our stock price.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue our common stock and preferred stock, up to the amount authorized. Although our Board of Directors intends to utilize its reasonable business judgment to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to our then existing stockholders in connection with any future issuance of our capital stock, the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock convertible into common stock would cause immediate, and potentially substantial, dilution to our existing stockholders, which could also have a material effect on the market value of the shares.

In order to raise capital to fund our business plan, including developing and operating the farm in Pueblo, CO, and the operating expenses of the Company, we have issued convertible debentures to our lenders that are convertible into shares of our common stock at a discount to the current market prices, upon conversion by the lenders. Conversion of these debentures by the lenders leads to immediate and substantial dilution to holders of our common stock and could depress the price of our stock, having a material effect on the market value of the shares.

Our stock price has been extremely volatile.

The market price of our common stock as has been extremely volatile and could be subject to further significant fluctuations due to changes in sentiment in the market regarding our operations or business prospects, among other factors.

Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

Because our common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange, investors may find it difficult to buy and sell our shares.

Our common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange. Accordingly, investors may find it more difficult to buy and sell our shares than if our common stock was traded on an exchange. Although our common stock is traded on the OTC markets, it is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market which provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Capital Market or other national securities exchanges. These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our common stock.

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

A substantial portion of our total outstanding shares of common stock may be sold into the market under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to drop, even if our business is doing well. Such sales may include sales by officers and directors of the Company, who have entered into pre-arranged stock trading plans to sell shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by them, established under Rule 10b-5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Furthermore, the market price of our common stock could decline as a result of the perception that such sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

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

Our Articles of Incorporation give our Board of Directors the authority to issue additional series of preferred stock without a vote or action by our stockholders. The Board of Directors also has the authority to determine the terms of preferred stock, including price, preferences and voting rights. The rights granted to holders of preferred stock in the future may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock. Any such authorized class of preferred stock may have a liquidation preference – a pre-set distribution in the event of a liquidation – that would reduce the amount available for distribution to holders of common stock or superior dividend rights that would reduce the amount of dividends that could be distributed to common stockholders. In addition, an authorized class of preferred stock may have voting rights that are superior to the voting right of the holders of our common stock. There are no shares of preferred stock presently outstanding.

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

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

Risks Related to Our Business

Our continued success is dependent on legalizing industrial hemp.

Continued development of the industrial hemp market is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of industrial hemp at the both the federal and the state level. The Farm Bill was signed into law in December 2018, which legalizes hemp cultivation broadly and the transfer of hemp-derived products across state lines. Pursuant to the Farm Bill, there will be significant shared state-federal regulatory power over hemp cultivation and production. See “Government Regulations.” In certain states, such as Colorado, based on the specifics of the legislation passed in that state, and on local governments authorizing a sufficient number of dispensaries. Any number of factors could slow or halt the progress. Furthermore, progress, while encouraging, is not assured, and the process normally encounters set-backs before achieving success. While there may be ample public support for legislative proposal, key support must be created in the legislative committee or a bill may never advance to a vote. Numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt the progress of hemp legalization, which would limit the market for our products and negatively impact our business and revenues.

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

We have a limited operating history and may not succeed. We are subject to all risks inherent in a developing business enterprise. Our likelihood of continued success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with manufacturing specialty products and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate. For example, the industrial hemp industry is a new industry that, as a whole, may not succeed, particularly if the Federal government changes course and decides to prosecute those dealing in industrial hemp under Federal law. If that happens, there may not be an adequate market for our products. As a new industry, there are not established players on whose business models we can follow or build upon. Similarly, there is limited information about comparable companies available for potential investors to review in making a decision about whether to invest in our company. Furthermore, as the industrial hemp industry is a new market, it is ripe for technological advancements that could limit or eliminate the need for our products.

Furthermore, unanticipated expenses, problems, and technical difficulties may occur and they may result in material delays in the operation of our business, in particular with respect to our new products. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, such failure could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment.

There is no track record for companies pursuing our strategy and if our strategy is unsuccessful, we will not be profitable and our stockholders could lose their investments.

There is no track record for companies pursuing our business strategy, and there is no guarantee that our business strategy will be successful or profitable. If our strategy is unsuccessful, we may fail to meet our objectives and not realize the revenues or profits from the business we pursue, which may cause our value to decrease, thereby potentially causing our stockholders to lose their investments. The success of our strategy will depend on numerous factors including:

Our growth will depend upon a series of factors including , the successful cultivation and harvest of the industrial hemp we grow on our property or through the third party contractor farmers who grow on our behalf, the ability to process the harvested hemp raw material either through our own processing plant or though a toll processor, the ability to continue to build a broader sales pipeline and the ability to acquire additional acreage to expand our cultivation operation and we may be unable to consummate acquisitions on advantageous terms.

Our growth strategy is focused on the acquisition of specialized real estate assets on favorable terms as opportunities arise. Our ability to acquire these real estate assets on favorable terms is subject to the following risks:

We may acquire a property or properties “as-is,” which increases the risk of an investment that requires us to remedy defects or costs without recourse against the prior owner.

We may acquire properties “as is” with only limited representations and warranties from the seller regarding matters affecting the condition, use and ownership of the property. There may also be environmental conditions associated with properties we acquire of which we are unaware despite our diligence efforts, and for which we could be liable. In particular, cannabis facilities may present environmental concerns of which we are not currently aware. If environmental contamination exists on properties we acquire or develops after acquisition, we could become subject to liability for the contamination. As a result, if defects on any of our properties (including any building on such properties) or other matters adversely affecting the properties are discovered, including, but not limited to, environmental matters, we may not be able to pursue a claim for any or all damages against the seller, which could harm our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Currently, industrial hemp remains illegal under federal law.

In June, 2018, the Senate passed the Farm Bill which contains provisions to legalize the cultivation, processing and sale of industrial hemp. However, industrial hemp remains illegal under federal law as of the date of this report. It is a Schedule-I controlled substance. Even in those jurisdictions in which the use of hemp has been legalized at the state level, its prescription is a violation of federal law. The United States Supreme Court has ruled in United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers’ Coop. and Gonzales v. Raich that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes. Therefore, federal law criminalizing the use of hemp preempts state laws that legalize its use for medicinal purposes. Presently, despite federal law, many states are maintaining existing laws and passing new ones in this area. This may be because the Trump Administration has made a policy decision to allow states to implement these laws and not prosecute anyone operating in accordance with applicable state law.

Regardless of the Trump Administration’s policy decision, the federal government may at any time choose to enforce the federal law, and, in the past, it has investigated hemp businesses in the various states in which we do business. Moreover, a change in the federal attitude towards enforcement could cripple the industry.

Adverse actions taken by the federal government may lead to delays on our business operations, disruptions to our revenue streams, losses of substantial assets, and substantial litigation expenses.

We and people and businesses that we do business with may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for them to purchase our products and services.

As discussed above, the use of hemp is illegal under federal law. Therefore, there is a compelling argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from the drug trade and therefore cannot do business with our clients that traffic in hemp, and clinic operators often have trouble finding a bank willing to accept their business. On February 14, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) released guidance to banks “clarifying Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) expectations for financial institutions seeking to provide services to hemp-related businesses.” In addition, U.S. Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) has stated he will seek an amendment to banking regulations and laws in order to allow banks to transact business with state-authorized hemp businesses. While these are positive developments, there can be no assurance this legislation will be successful, or that, even with the FinCEN guidance, banks will decide to do business with hemp retailers, or that, in the absence of actual legislation, state and federal banking regulators will not strictly enforce current prohibitions on banks handling funds generated from an activity that is illegal under federal law. The inability of potential clients in our target markets to open accounts and otherwise use the services of banks may make it difficult for such potential clients to purchase our products and services and could materially harm our business.

We may have difficulty accessing bankruptcy courts.

As discussed above, the use of hemp is illegal under federal law. Therefore, there is a compelling argument that the federal bankruptcy courts cannot provide relief for parties who engage in the hemp or hemp-related businesses. Recent bankruptcy rulings have denied bankruptcies for dispensaries upon the justification that businesses cannot violate federal law and then claim the benefits of federal bankruptcy for the same activity and upon the justification that courts cannot ask a bankruptcy trustee to take possession of, and distribute hemp assets as such action would violate the Controlled Substances Act. Therefore, we may not be able to seek the protection of the bankruptcy courts and this could materially affect our business or our ability to obtain credit.

State and municipal governments in which we do business or seek to do business may have, or may adopt laws that adversely affect our ability to do business.

While the federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize hemp, which it has in fact done, state and municipal governments may adopt additional laws and regulations that further criminalize or negatively affect hemp businesses. States that currently have laws that decriminalize or legalize certain aspects of hemp could in the future, reverse course and adopt new laws that further criminalize or negatively affect hemp businesses. Additionally, municipal governments in these states may have laws that adversely affect hemp businesses, even though there are no such laws at the state level. For example, municipal governments may have zoning laws that restrict where hemp operations can be located and the manner and size of which they can expand and operate. These municipal laws, like the federal laws, may adversely affect our ability to do business, and adverse enforcement actions under these laws may lead to costly litigation and a closure of our businesses with which we have contracts or royalty-fee structures in place, in turn, affecting our own business. Moreover, if additional states do not adopt laws that legalize certain aspects of the hemp industry, we may not be able to expand our business in the manner in which we prefer.

Also, given the complexity and rapid change of the federal, state and local laws pertaining to hemp, the Company may incur substantial legal costs associated with complying with these laws and in acquiring the necessary state and local licenses required by our business endeavors. For example, some states permit entities to enter into joint venture relationships with individual license holders that provide for revenue sharing arrangements. In other states, revenue sharing is not permitted, and we accept fixed fees for our services. State and municipal governments may also limit the number of specialized licenses available or apply stringent compliance requirements necessary to maintain the license. These developments may limit our ability to expand our negatively affect our business model.

Our auditors have raised concerns about our ability to continue operations as a “going concern.” Investors may lose all of their investment if we are unable to continue operations and generate revenues.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, indicating that we have sustained substantial losses from continuing operations and have used, rather than provided, cash in our continuing operations, and that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern may hinder our ability to obtain future financing. Continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern are dependent on our ability to obtain additional funding in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such funding will be available at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Without additional funds from generation of revenues through execution of our business plan, debt or equity financings, sales of assets, or other transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis” below for further information regarding the Company’s efforts to secure liquidity and future cash flows.

The Company received an event of default regarding a promissory note and is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

On September 22, 2016, the Company received notice of an Event of Default and Acceleration from one of its lenders regarding a Promissory Note issued on March 14, 2016. (See Item 1A. Risk Factors). As of the date of this filing, the Company is in technical default on all notes outstanding. On October 31, 2018, the Company and the affiliates of YA PN, LTD., entered into a Forbearance Agreement regarding the notes, Security Agreement, related documents and the financing arrangements described within the Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which the affiliates of YA PN, LTD. agreed not to enforce certain of its claims. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters, however, legal action taken by the Company’s lenders could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows of the Company and their ability to raise funds in the future. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

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

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

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

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

The Company and some of its subsidiaries are currently delinquent with their respective federal and applicable state tax returns filings for the years ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017. Therefore, we may incur additional taxes and costs. At this time, we are unable to determine whether or not such additional taxes or costs would have a material adverse effect on the company or its net operating losses, as discussed below.

Although we have been experiencing recurring losses, we are obligated to file tax returns for compliance with IRS regulations and that of applicable state jurisdictions. Our subsidiary, EWSD I, LLC, has approximately $1,618,129 of net operating losses during the year ended December 31, 2016. This net operating loss will be eligible to be carried forward for tax purposes at federal and applicable states level, but the use of such net operating losses may be subject to restrictions under applicable tax law. A full valuation allowance has been recorded related to the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses. The Company is currently delinquent on filing their tax returns.

We have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, because of our status as an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accountant is not required to provide an attestation report as to our internal control over financial reporting for the foreseeable future.

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective, and that there was a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, due to insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting function because of our limited personnel. We currently have no employees and rely (and anticipate continuing to rely) heavily on third-party contractors for the provision of professional and other services. This resulted in not ensuring appropriate segregation of duties between incompatible functions, and made it more difficult to ensure that financial information is adequately analyzed and reviewed on a timely basis to detect misstatements. These above deficiencies represent a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting given that they result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements would not have been prevented or detected.

We have begun evaluating and implementing additional procedures to improve the segregation of duties, however, because of our limited resources we cannot assure that these or other measures will fully remediate the deficiencies or material weakness described above in a timely manner. We intend to address the weakness identified above by increasing the oversight and review procedures of the board of directors with regard to financial reporting, financial processes and procedures and internal control procedures; and when funding is available, hiring additional finance and accounting personnel.

Nevertheless, there can be no assurances that we will have enough financial resources to remedy our current material weaknesses and significant deficiencies. If we are unable to remediate the material weakness, or otherwise maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, prevent fraud or file our periodic reports in a timely manner. We cannot assure you that we have identified all of our existing significant deficiencies and material weaknesses, or that we will not in the future have additional significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.

Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the recently enacted JOBS Act, if we take advantage (as we expect to do) of the exemptions contained in the JOBS Act. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to the registration statement that went effective on December 11, 2014, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating. Our remediation efforts may not enable us to avoid a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in the future.

Any of the foregoing occurrences, should they come to pass, could negatively impact the public perception of our company, which could have a negative impact on our stock price.

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

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

If we are able to expand our operations, we may be unable to successfully manage our future growth.

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

Our business may expose us to product liability claims for damages resulting from the design or manufacture of our products. Product liability claims, whether or not we are ultimately held liable for them, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may be subject to product liability claims if any of our products are alleged to be defective or cause harmful effects. Product liability claims or other claims related to our products, regardless of their outcome, could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation, divert management time and attention, require us to pay significant damages, harm our reputation or hinder acceptance of our products. Any successful product liability claim may prevent us from obtaining adequate product liability insurance in the future on commercially desirable or reasonable terms. An inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our products.

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

You should not consider prior operating results with respect to revenues, net income or any other measure to be indicative of our future operating results. In 2016, we transitioned to a new business model. The timing and amount of future revenues will depend almost entirely the success of our new model and our ability to service new customers. Our future operating results will depend upon many other factors, including:

Our lack of adequate D&O insurance may also make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers.

We are and may in the future be subject to additional litigation, including potential class action and stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. Although we have obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance to cover such risk exposure for our directors and officers, the amount of D&O insurance we have obtained is lower than customary for public companies. Such insurance generally pays the expenses (including amounts paid to plaintiffs, fines, and expenses including attorneys’ fees) of officers and directors who are the subject of a lawsuit as a result of their service to the Company. The amount of D&O insurance we have obtained may not be adequate to cover such expenses should such a lawsuit occur, and our deductibles are higher than we may be able to pay. While neither Nevada law nor our Articles of Incorporation or bylaws require us to indemnify or advance expenses to our officers and directors involved in such a legal action, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors and may agree to indemnify other officers and directors in the future. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action based on their service to the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, our lack of adequate D&O insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting, the reputational effects could materially adversely affect our business.

Under the provisions of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended by the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to perform an evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Internal Controls) and to report on our evaluation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our Internal Controls constitute a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. However, as discussed in greater detail in Item 9A of this Form 10-K, the Company identified a material weakness in its Internal Controls resulting in restatement of its consolidated financial statements. If our remediation of such reported material weakness is ineffective, or if in the future we are unable to maintain effective Internal Controls, additional resulting material restatements could occur, regulatory actions could be taken, and a resulting loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements could materially adversely affect the value of our common stock. We may be required to expend substantial funds and resources in order to rectify any deficiencies in our Internal Controls. Further, if lenders lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fund our operations.

We depend upon key personnel, the loss of which could seriously harm our business.

Our operating performance is substantially dependent on the continued services of our executive officers and key employees. The unexpected loss of the services of any of the key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and operating results, as well as the value of our common stock.

Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our business, and we cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on us.

Local, state and federal cannabis laws and regulations are broad in scope and they are subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or to alter one or more of our sales or marketing practices. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, and financial condition.

In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our company and our products. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business. These potential effects could include, however, requirements for the revisions to our products to meet new standards, the recall or discontinuance of certain products, or additional record keeping and reporting requirements. Any or all of these requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
