At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owns -0- shares of common stock of Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (ticker: REFG). In January 2023, the Company sold all of its holdings in REFG for $9,041 and recognized a loss of $155,735.

 

In 2021, the Company received 1,500,000 shares of common stock and 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock of THC Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ticker: CBDG). The CBDG shares were received as consideration for the sale of the Company’s majority interest in iBud and GKMP in the year ended December 31, 2021. On the date of sale, the shares were valued at fair value which was $0.20 per share or $600,000 in the aggregate. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, David Tobias is a Director of CBDG. On January 1, 2024, the preferred shares were returned to CBDG.

 

The Company’s investment in CBDG represents 15% of CBDG’s voting shares on a fully diluted basis which, coupled with Mr. Tobias’ position as a director and his individual investment in CBDG, results in the Company having significant influence over CBDG.  The Company elected to account for its investment in CBDG at fair value because the Company does not intend to hold the investment for a long period of time and the shares are readily marketable.  The fair value of the Company’s investment at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $18,150 and $66,000 resulting in a unrealized loss of $14,850 and $211,483 for the change in fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The returned preferred shares are accounted for as a loss on return of investment securities on the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 in the amount of $33,000.
