Note 7 - Acquisition of Natural Plant Extract of California, Inc.

 

On August 31, 2020 we issued a convertible promissory note pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA) with Robert L. Hymers, III (“Hymers”) to acquire 266,667 shares of common stock of Natural Plant Extract of California Inc., a California corporation (“NPE”), representing 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE on a fully diluted basis. With the exception of the entry into the subject material definitive agreements, no material relationship exists between us, or any of our affiliates or control persons and Hymers. Under the terms of the SPA, we acquired all rights and responsibilities of the equity stake for a purchase price of Two Million Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($2,040,000) (the “Purchase Price”). Relative to the payment of the Purchase Price, we agreed to: 1) pay Hymers twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) each month for a period of twenty-seven (27) months, with the first payment commencing September 1, 2020 and the remaining payments due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until Hymers has received Five Hundred Forty Thousand United Stated Dollars ($540,000), and 2) issue Hymers a convertible promissory note in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. Hymers has the right at any time six (6) months after the issuance date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to the note. Conversion Price shall be calculated as follows: 60% of the lowest Trading Price of the common shares during the ten (10) days preceding the date the Company receive a notice of conversion. Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the common stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall we issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the note and the other notes issued, more than the maximum number of shares of common stock that we can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the common stock is then traded, which shall be 4.99% of the total shares outstanding at any time. A debt discount of $54,212 on the note payable at issuance was calculated based on the present value of the note using an implied interest rate of 10%. A debt discount of $270,886 was recognized. Accordingly, we recorded an initial value of its investment in NPE of $1,714,903.

 

On June 11, 2021, we amended the material definitive agreement with Hymers. The amendment relieved us from having to make monthly payments of $20,000 to Hymers in exchange for our issuing a convertible promissory note to Hymers for the balance owed of $440,000. The note is due June 11, 2022, bears interest at 10% and is convertible at a fixed price of $0.004 per share.

 

On January 27, 2021, the Company acquired an additional 18.8% interest in NPE from Edward Manolos, a Director of the Company and a related party. The Company issued 11,383,929 shares of common stock, which had a fair value of $1,821,429.

 

On February 16, 2021, we purchased 266,667 shares of common stock of NPE from Alan Tsai, in exchange for the issuance of 1,436,368 common shares of the Company, with a fair value of $400,747. Other than with respect to the transaction, there was no material relationship between Mr. Tsai and us. By virtue of the transaction, we acquired 18.8% of the outstanding capital stock of NPE, bringing our total beneficial ownership in NPE to 56.5%. The transfer of control constituted an acquisition of NPE by the Company (the “NPE Acquisition”). For the three month period following the one year anniversary of the closing date, Mr. Tsai has the sole and irrevocable option to require the Company to repurchase the common shares issued to Mr. Tsai. If the value of the shares at the time notice is given is less than $150,000, Mr. Tsai will receive $150,000. If the value of the shares at the time notices is given is greater than $150,000, then Mr. Tsai will receive the market value of the shares.

 

 

As a result of the transaction, we became party to a Shareholder Agreement with respect to our ownership over the NPE Shares, dated June 5, 2020, by and among Alan Tsai, Robert Hymers III, Betterworld Ventures, LLC (“BWV”), Marijuana Company of America, Inc. and NPE. The Joinder Agreement contains terms and conditions including, but not limited to: the ownership and management of NPE, rights of shareholders concerning the transfer of shares in NPE, pre-emptive rights, drag-along rights, confidentiality, and term and termination.

 

The NPE acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805 as a result of the transfer of control. Immediately prior to obtaining control, our total investment in NPE was adjusted to fair value of $3,324,956, resulting in a loss on investment of $359,391.  The Company is continuing to gather evidence to evaluate the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such as property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, evaluate all contingent liabilities that may require recognition in the financial statements, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest discussed below, and assess the fair value of all consideration transferred to the seller to obtain control of NPE. The Company expects to finalize the fair value of the acquired business within one year of the acquisition date. 

 

The following information summarizes the provisional purchase consideration and preliminary allocation of the fair values assigned to the assets at the purchase date:
