Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Operations
History
On March 13, 2015, Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc. (the Company) (f/k/a Type 1 Media, Inc.) closed on a merger and share exchange agreement by and among (i) the Company, and (ii) Diego Pellicer World-wide 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Diego”), and (iii) Jonathan White, the majority shareholder of the Company. Diego was merged with and into the Company with the Company to continue as the surviving corporation in the merger.
Business Operations
The Company leases real estate to licensed marijuana operators, providing complete turnkey growing space, processing space, recreational and medical retail sales space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers, processors, dispensary and recreational store operators. Additionally, the Company plans to explore ancillary opportunities in the regulated marijuana industry, as well as offering for wholesale distribution branded non-marijuana clothing and accessories.
The properties generating rents in 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
| Purpose | Size | City | State | |||
| Retail store (recreational and medical) | ||||||
| Cultivation warehouse |
The Company’s two properties in Denver, CO are leased to Royal Asset Management, LLC (“RAM”). RAM opened the Diego Denver branded flagship store in February 2017. This store is known as “Diego Colorado”. The retail facilities have shown steady growth in sales since opening. For the two properties subleased, RAM uses these properties for its cultivation facilities in Denver, CO. Production at these facilities began in late 2016. On July 27, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against Royal Asset Management, LLC (“RAM”) and Neil Demers (“Demers”) in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, alleging breach of contract on four subleases for which RAM has failed to make the required payments to the Company pursuant to the respective sublease agreements (see Note 4).
In
August 2021, the master lease and sublease associated with the
Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices
The management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and for the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below, as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Diego Pellicer World-wide 1, Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities and derivative financial instruments issued in financing transactions and share based payment arrangements, the collectability of accounts receivable and other receivables (see Note 4), valuation of right of use assets and lease liabilities and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances.
5
Certain estimates, including evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could influence our estimates and could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company intends to re-evaluate all its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of rents receivable from the Company’s sublessee as disclosed in Note 4. Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. We have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, note receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash, receivables, notes receivable, payables and notes payable because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
The following table reflects assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Derivative liabilities and stock warrant liabilities were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model in calculating the embedded conversion features for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.
Cash
The
Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, up to $
Revenue recognition
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company recognizes rent income on a straight-line basis over the lease term to the extent that collection is considered probable. As a result, the Company has been recognizing rents as they become payable.
6
During the initial term of the lease, management has a policy of partial rent forbearance when the tenant first opens the facility to assure that the tenant has the opportunity for success. Management may be required to exercise considerable judgment in estimating revenue to be recognized.
When management concludes that the Company is the owner of tenant improvements, the Company records the cost to construct the tenant improvements as a capital asset. In addition, the Company records the cost of certain tenant improvements paid for or reimbursed by tenants as capital assets when management concludes that the Company is the owner of such tenant improvements. For these tenant improvements, the Company records the amount funded or reimbursed by tenants as deferred revenue, which is amortized as additional rental income over the term of the related lease. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record the Company’s contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The Company analyzes its contracts to assess that they are within the scope and in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, whether for goods and services or licensing, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
Leases
We have elected the practical expedient provided by ASC 842 that allows lessees to choose to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset and are applying this expedient to all relevant asset classes. We have also elected the practical expedient package to not reassess at adoption (i) expired or existing contracts for whether they are or contain a lease, (ii) the lease classification of any existing leases or (iii) initial indirect costs for existing leases.
Advertising
During
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, advertising expense was $
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The computation of limitations relating to the amount of such tax assets, and the determination of appropriate valuation allowances relating to the realizing of such assets, are inherently complex and require the exercise of judgment. As additional information becomes available, the Company continually assesses the carrying value of their net deferred tax assets.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of net cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC Topic 815-40 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of our common stock for common shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.
The Company utilizes ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. In accordance with ASC 260, the basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is adjusted for the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company has and common stock equivalents at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share. There are shares authorized resulting in insufficient shares as of March 31, 2022. Substantially all of these excess shares are included in the derivative liability calculations for convertible notes payable and warrants and are therefore accounted for at fair value.
Legal and regulatory environment
The cannabis industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, and different taxation between federal and state. Federal government activity may increase in the future with respect to companies involved in the cannabis industry concerning possible violations of federal statutes and regulations.
Management believes that the Company is in compliance with local, state and federal regulations and, while no regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.
7
Recent accounting pronouncements.
The Company believes recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
incurred losses since inception, its current liabilities exceed its current assets by $
The Company believes that it has sufficient cash on hand and cash generated by real estate leases to sustain operations provided that management and board members continue to agree to be paid company stock in exchange for accrued compensation. There are other future noncash charges in connection with financings such as a change in derivative liability that will affect income but have no effect on cash flow.
Although the Company has been successful raising additional capital, there is no assurance that the company will sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to raise additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. However, cash generated from lease revenues is currently exceeding lease costs, but is insufficient to cover operating expenses.
Note 4 – Accounts Receivables and Other Receivables
As
disclosed in Note 1, the Company subleases two properties in Colorado to Royal Asset Management at March 31, 2022. At March 31,
2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding receivables from the subleases totaling $

a 15.13% membership interest in Blue Bronco, LLC. The purchase of the 15.13% interest in Blue Bronco LLC is subject to the approval
of the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division. Necessary approval by governing authorities is expected to be received in the
third or fourth quarter of 2022 pending the resolution of a lawsuit between the RAM and other parties related to the transaction.

Additionally, in connection with the termination of the sublease, RAM will continue to pay the remaining future sublease premium payments due to the company on the Denver sublease (the “Future Rent Debt”) beginning on the termination date, and until the earlier of the Maturity Date or June 30, 2024, notwithstanding the termination of the Subleases. However, no payment under the Future Rent Debt agreement will be due to the Company until the Maturity Date, at which time the entire Future Rent Debt shall be due and payable in full, except for any month in which RAM earns $725,000 of gross sales revenue, including taxes, at its Alameda location, in which case RAM shall pay the Future Rent Debt for the following month to the Company on or before the 5th day of the following month, and such amount will not accrue as a Future Rent Debt. RAM shall continue to accrue debt to the company, assessed on the first day of each month, according to the schedule below:

Note 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Company leases property under operating leases. Property leases include retail and warehouse space with fixed rent payments and lease terms ranging from three to five years. The Company is obligated to pay the lessor for maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses on certain property leases. These expenses are variable and are not included in the measurement of the lease asset or lease liability. These expenses are recognized as variable lease expense when incurred.
The
Company records the lease asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The leases typically
do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the time of lease commencement
to discount the present value of lease payments. The Company’s discount rate for operating leases at March 31, 2022 was
As of March 31, 2022, the maturities of operating leases liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings
On May 10, 2021, a lawsuit was filed against the Company, along with other defendants, by plaintiff Erin Turoff in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado. The specific allegations against the Company include civil theft and civil conspiracy and the plaintiff is seeking actual and compensatory damages. No specific monetary amount was demanded in the lawsuit. On July 8, 2021, the Company filed an answer to the complaint, denying the allegations. The proceedings are ongoing and the Company believes that the suit is without merit and that it will ultimately prevail in any litigation.
On
July 27, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against Royal Asset Management, LLC (“RAM”) and Neil Demers (“Demers”)
in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, alleging breach of contract on subleases for which RAM has
failed to make the required payments to the Company pursuant to the respective sublease agreements.
Equity Purchase Agreement
On
February 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Hemp Choice
Distribution, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“HCD”), its owners (the “Sellers”), and Gabriela
Vergara (the “Sellers’ Representative”), pursuant to which Purchaser has agreed to acquire all of the issued

COVID-19
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency in response to a new strain of a coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effects on the Company’s industry, financial condition, liquidity, and operations. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2022.
Employment Agreements
As
a condition of their employment, the Board of Directors approved employment agreements with three key executives. These agreements
provided that additional shares will be granted each year over the term of the agreements should their shares as a percentage
of the total shares outstanding fall below prescribed ownership percentages. Nello Gonfiantini III, who became the Company’s
CEO in October 2019 receives an annual grant of additional shares each year to maintain his ownership percentage at

COVID-19
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency in response to a new strain of a coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The COVID-19 pandemic is a highly fluid situation and it is not currently possible for us to reasonably estimate the impact it may have on our financial and operating results. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business as we learn more and the impact of COVID-19 on our industry becomes clearer. We are complying health guidelines regarding safety procedures, including, but are not limited to, social distancing, remote working, and teleconferencing. The extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict. Adverse global economic and market conditions as a result of COVID-19 could also adversely affect our business. If the pandemic continues to cause significant negative impacts to economic conditions, our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely impacted.
Overview of the Market
Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc. was established on August 26, 2013 to take advantage of growing market for legalized cannabis being made possible by the escalating legislation allowing for the legalization of cannabis operations in the majority of states. The cannabis market has a multi-billion dollar potential. The industry is still in a development stage, and is being rapidly propelled towards its potential by the state legalization and the rush by suppliers to meet the pent-up demand. Most suppliers are small, unsophisticated but capable operators. The federal legal constraints provide an opportunity to those companies early to the market to gain a first mover advantage and to the successful ones, an opportunity to be a consolidator in the industry.
What is Diego’s Strategy, Phases One and Two?
Diego is a real estate and a consumer retail development company that is focused on high quality recurring revenues resulting from leasing real estate to licensed cannabis operators, and the management of operations for these and other third party cannabis operators deriving income from management and royalty fees. Diego provides a competitive advantage to these operators by developing “Diego Pellicer” as the world’s first premium marijuana brand and by establishing the highest quality standards for its facilities and products.
The Company’s first phase strategy is to lease and develop the most prominent and convenient real estate locations for the purposes of leasing them to state licensed operators in the cannabis industry. Diego’s first phase revenues result from leasing real estate and selling non-cannabis related accessories to our tenants. The Company has developed a brand name strategy, providing training, design services, branded accessories, systems and systems training, locational selection, and other advisory services to their tenants. We enter into branding agreements with our tenants. In addition, part of the vetting process in finding the proper tenant is selecting a tenant that shares the Company’s values and strictly complies with respective state laws, follows strict safety and testing requirements and provides consistent, high-quality products. If the tenants do not comply, they will not be allowed to use the brand.
The second phase of our strategy is to secure options to purchase the tenant’s operations. When mutually advantageous for Diego and the tenant, Diego will negotiate acquisition contracts with selected Diego operators/tenants. When it becomes federally legal to do so, Diego will execute the acquisition contracts, consolidate our selected tenants and become a nationally branded marijuana retailer and producer concurrent with the change of federal law.
Diego Pellicer Management Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, will license the upscale Diego Pellicer (“DP”) brand to qualified operators and receive royalty payments, while providing expertise in retail, product and manufacturing from Diego’s management team.
Recent Developments
During the fiscal quarter, the Company continued its focus on seeking complimentary acquisitions that are additive to the Company’s overall strategic plan.

Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company leased two facilities to a licensee in Colorado. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $186,506, as compared to $191,753 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $5,247, primarily due to a lease extension in the third quarter of 2021.
Gross profit. Rental revenue and rental expense for the period ended March 31, 2022 decreased over the prior three months ended March 31, 20201 resulting in a gross profit of $38,104, an increase of $5,378 from a gross profit of $32,726 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting from a lease extension in the third quarter of 2021 which reduced both sublease income and rental expense.
General and administrative expense. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $223,095, compared to $198,251 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $24,844 was largely attributable to an increase in professional fees, partially offset by a reduction in executive stock compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Selling expense. Our selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $8,465, compared to $9,881 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of $1,416 was due to reduced website costs.

The increase in net other expense resulted primarily from the effects that the changes in market value of the Company’s stock had on the derivative liability associated with our convertible debt and preferred stock, including a reduction in gain resulting from the extinguishment of derivative liabilities during the period, and from increased financing costs of new debt incurred by the Company.

Operating Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the net cash used of $187,999 was a decrease over the same period of the prior year of $8,764. Cash used for operating assets and liabilities decreased by $45,112, which was partially offset by an increase in loss from operations after non-cash adjustments of $36,348.
Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we loaned an aggregate of $120,000 to an entity and received repayments of principal of $55,339. We received $310,000 from the issuance of convertible notes payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we received $267,000 in proceeds from the sale of preferred stock and we made $200,000 of principal repayments of convertible notes payable.

Going Concern Qualification
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, its current liabilities exceed its current assets by $11,893,402 at March 31, 2022, and it has an accumulated deficit of $55,672,640 at March 31, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Although the Company has been successful raising additional capital, there is no assurance that the company will sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to raise additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. However, cash generated from lease revenues is currently exceeding lease costs, but is insufficient to cover operating expenses.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2022, being the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” and “internal control over financial reporting” as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a- 15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent 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 benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision- making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
(b) Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the our management and directors; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
17
Based on our evaluation under the framework described above, as of March 31, 2022, our management concluded that we had “material weaknesses” (as such term is defined below) in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following as of the Evaluation Date:
1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal control and procedures;
2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes; and
4) lack of accounting personnel with adequate experience and training.
A “material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as 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 a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company does not intend to remedy the foregoing and therefore such material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process will continue due to lack of available capital. A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(c) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

History
On March 13, 2015, Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc. (the Company) (f/k/a Type 1 Media, Inc.) closed on a merger and share exchange agreement by and among (i) the Company, and (ii) Diego Pellicer World-wide 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Diego”), and (iii) Jonathan White, the majority shareholder of the Company. Diego was merged with and into the Company with the Company to continue as the surviving corporation in the merger.
Business Operations
The Company leases real estate to licensed marijuana operators, providing complete turnkey growing space, processing space, recreational and medical retail sales space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers, processors, dispensary and recreational store operators. Additionally, the Company plans to explore ancillary opportunities in the regulated marijuana industry, as well as offering for wholesale distribution branded non-marijuana clothing and accessories.
The properties generating rents in 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
The Company’s two properties in Denver, CO are leased to Royal Asset Management, LLC (“RAM”). RAM opened the Diego Denver branded flagship store in February 2017. This store is known as “Diego Colorado”. The retail facilities have shown steady growth in sales since opening. For the two properties subleased, RAM uses these properties for its cultivation facilities in Denver, CO. Production at these facilities began in late 2016. On July 27, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against Royal Asset Management, LLC (“RAM”) and Neil Demers (“Demers”) in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, alleging breach of contract on four subleases for which RAM has failed to make the required payments to the Company pursuant to the respective sublease agreements (see Note 4).
In August 2021, the master lease and sublease associated with the 14,800 sq. cultivation warehouse were extended through July 31, 2024 (see Note 9). |

| Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices | Note 2 – Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices
The management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and for the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below, as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Diego Pellicer World-wide 1, Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities and derivative financial instruments issued in financing transactions and share based payment arrangements, the collectability of accounts receivable and other receivables (see Note 4), valuation of right of use assets and lease liabilities and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances.
Certain estimates, including evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could influence our estimates and could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company intends to re-evaluate all its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of rents receivable from the Company’s sublessee as disclosed in Note 4. Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. We have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, note receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash, receivables, notes receivable, payables and notes payable because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
The following table reflects assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
Derivative liabilities and stock warrant liabilities were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model in calculating the embedded conversion features for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.
Cash
The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, up to $250,000. The Company’s accounts at these institutions may, at times, exceed the federal insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. There were no uninsured balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Revenue recognition
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company recognizes rent income on a straight-line basis over the lease term to the extent that collection is considered probable. As a result, the Company has been recognizing rents as they become payable.
During the initial term of the lease, management has a policy of partial rent forbearance when the tenant first opens the facility to assure that the tenant has the opportunity for success. Management may be required to exercise considerable judgment in estimating revenue to be recognized.
When management concludes that the Company is the owner of tenant improvements, the Company records the cost to construct the tenant improvements as a capital asset. In addition, the Company records the cost of certain tenant improvements paid for or reimbursed by tenants as capital assets when management concludes that the Company is the owner of such tenant improvements. For these tenant improvements, the Company records the amount funded or reimbursed by tenants as deferred revenue, which is amortized as additional rental income over the term of the related lease. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record the Company’s contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The Company analyzes its contracts to assess that they are within the scope and in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, whether for goods and services or licensing, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
Leases
We have elected the practical expedient provided by ASC 842 that allows lessees to choose to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset and are applying this expedient to all relevant asset classes. We have also elected the practical expedient package to not reassess at adoption (i) expired or existing contracts for whether they are or contain a lease, (ii) the lease classification of any existing leases or (iii) initial indirect costs for existing leases.
Advertising
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, advertising expense was $8,465 and $9,881, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The computation of limitations relating to the amount of such tax assets, and the determination of appropriate valuation allowances relating to the realizing of such assets, are inherently complex and require the exercise of judgment. As additional information becomes available, the Company continually assesses the carrying value of their net deferred tax assets.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of net cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC Topic 815-40 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of our common stock for common shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience.
The Company utilizes ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. In accordance with ASC 260, the basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is adjusted for the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company has and common stock equivalents at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share. There are shares authorized resulting in insufficient shares as of March 31, 2022. Substantially all of these excess shares are included in the derivative liability calculations for convertible notes payable and warrants and are therefore accounted for at fair value.
Legal and regulatory environment
The cannabis industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, and different taxation between federal and state. Federal government activity may increase in the future with respect to companies involved in the cannabis industry concerning possible violations of federal statutes and regulations.
Management believes that the Company is in compliance with local, state and federal regulations and, while no regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.
Recent accounting pronouncements.
The Company believes recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

| Going Concern | Note 3 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, its current liabilities exceed its current assets by $11,893,402 at March 31, 2022, and it has an accumulated deficit of $ at March 31, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company believes that it has sufficient cash on hand and cash generated by real estate leases to sustain operations provided that management and board members continue to agree to be paid company stock in exchange for accrued compensation. There are other future noncash charges in connection with financings such as a change in derivative liability that will affect income but have no effect on cash flow.
Although the Company has been successful raising additional capital, there is no assurance that the company will sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to raise additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. However, cash generated from lease revenues is currently exceeding lease costs, but is insufficient to cover operating expenses. |

| Accounts Receivables and Other Receivables | Note 4 – Accounts Receivables and Other Receivables
As disclosed in Note 1, the Company subleases two properties in Colorado to Royal Asset Management at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding receivables from the subleases totaling $673,695 and $598,667, respectively, and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company’s subleases with RAM accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenues.
In addition to the receivables from the subleases, the Company has agreed to provide RAM and affiliates of RAM up to an aggregate amount of $1,030,000 in financing. These notes accrue interest at the rates ranging from 12% to 18% per annum. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of these notes receivable total $635,631 and $620,781, respectively, including accrued interest of $305,631 and $290,781, respectively. The notes are secured by a UCC filing and also $400,000 of the balance was personally guaranteed by the managing member of RAM. Our position was subordinate to the CEO’s note described in Note 5. We have recorded interest income of $14,850 and $26,850 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In April 2021, we received a payment of $400,000 of note principal and $93,770 of related accrued interest.
On September 9, 2020, we closed on a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated September 4, 2020, and obtained the right to acquire a 15.13% membership interest in Blue Bronco, LLC. The purchase of the 15.13% interest in Blue Bronco LLC is subject to the approval of the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division. Necessary approval by governing authorities is expected to be received in the third or fourth quarter of 2022 pending the resolution of a lawsuit between the RAM and other parties related to the transaction. Accrued interest receivable of approximately $68,000 will be applied to the purchase of the membership interest upon approval of the purchase by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division.
Lease Termination
On October 1, 2020, the master and sublease associated with the 18,600 sq. cultivation warehouse in Denver were terminated. In connection with that termination, we entered into a Sublease Termination Agreement (“Termination Agreement”) with RAM and an affiliate of RAM Venture Product Consulting, LLC (“VPC”). Pursuant to this agreement, RAM acknowledged a debt of deferred rent to the Company in the amount of $1,418,480 and VPC acknowledged a debt of deferred rent to the Company in the amount of $64,344. RAM and VPC executed promissory notes for these amounts, respectively. The notes accrue interest on the unpaid balance at a rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate for mid-term obligations as published by the Internal Revenue Service. No payment under the promissory notes will be due to the Company until the earlier of (i) the date on which RAM and the Company consummate a change of control event, which is defined as: the acquisition of RAM by the Company or an affiliated entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which RAM is a party (including, without limitation, any membership interest acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation, (generally, a “Merger”), or, (ii) the date one (1) business day following the earlier of (x) at any time, receipt by the Company from RAM or VPC of a written notice stating such party no longer desires to pursue the Merger, or (y) beginning eighteen (18) months after the date of this Agreement, receipt by RAM or VPC from the Company of a written notice stating that the Company no longer desires to pursue the Merger (the “Maturity Date”).
We have recorded the promissory notes as long term notes receivable of $1,482,824 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Due to the uncertainty of the collectability, we have also recorded a long term deferred credit in the same amount. We will record income under the deferred rent notes as payments are received or deemed collectible. This asset and related credit have been netted on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Additionally, in connection with the termination of the sublease, RAM will continue to pay the remaining future sublease premium payments due to the company on the Denver sublease (the “Future Rent Debt”) beginning on the termination date, and until the earlier of the Maturity Date or June 30, 2024, notwithstanding the termination of the Subleases. However, no payment under the Future Rent Debt agreement will be due to the Company until the Maturity Date, at which time the entire Future Rent Debt shall be due and payable in full, except for any month in which RAM earns $725,000 of gross sales revenue, including taxes, at its Alameda location, in which case RAM shall pay the Future Rent Debt for the following month to the Company on or before the 5th day of the following month, and such amount will not accrue as a Future Rent Debt. RAM shall continue to accrue debt to the company, assessed on the first day of each month, according to the schedule below:
We will record income pursuant to the Future Rent Debt as payments are received based on the Company’s analysis of collectability including, but not limited to, the potential application toward the purchase price. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we have recorded $34,866 and $33,851 as Lease Termination Payments in the Statement of Operations.

Leases
The Company leases property under operating leases. Property leases include retail and warehouse space with fixed rent payments and lease terms ranging from three to five years. The Company is obligated to pay the lessor for maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses on certain property leases. These expenses are variable and are not included in the measurement of the lease asset or lease liability. These expenses are recognized as variable lease expense when incurred.
In August 2021, the master lease and sublease associated with the 14,800 sq. cultivation warehouse were extended through . Monthly base rent payments range from $20,000 to $21,118. Monthly sublease base rent payments range from $26,300 to $28,622.
The Company records the lease asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The leases typically do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the time of lease commencement to discount the present value of lease payments. The Company’s discount rate for operating leases at March 31, 2022 was 12%. Leases often include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term to the extent that collection is considered probable. As a result the Company been recognizing rents as they become payable. Our weighted-average remaining lease term is years.
As of March 31, 2022, the maturities of operating leases liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings
On May 10, 2021, a lawsuit was filed against the Company, along with other defendants, by plaintiff Erin Turoff in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado. The specific allegations against the Company include civil theft and civil conspiracy and the plaintiff is seeking actual and compensatory damages.

On February 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Hemp Choice Distribution, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“HCD”), its owners (the “Sellers”), and Gabriela Vergara (the “Sellers’ Representative”), pursuant to which Purchaser has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of HCD (“Membership Interests”). On April 22, 2022, the Company sent a termination notice of the Purchase Agreement to HCD, the Sellers and the Sellers' Representative pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Company has made loans to HCD in the aggregate original amount of $244,000, as described in Note 4. The balance due to the Company on the loans is $177,461 at March 31, 2022.
COVID-19
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency in response to a new strain of a coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effects on the Company’s industry, financial condition, liquidity, and operations. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022. However, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2022.
Employment Agreements
As a condition of their employment, the Board of Directors approved employment agreements with three key executives. These agreements provided that additional shares will be granted each year over the term of the agreements should their shares as a percentage of the total shares outstanding fall below prescribed ownership percentages. Nello Gonfiantini III, who became the Company’s CEO in October 2019 receives an annual grant of additional shares each year to maintain his ownership percentage at 10% of the outstanding stock. The Company’s CFO received a similar grant each to maintain his ownership percentage at 2% of the outstanding stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company accrued compensation expense of approximately $8,000 on shares of common stock under these agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company accrued compensation expense of approximately $25,000 on shares of common stock under these agreements. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the ending balance of accrued compensation was $11,769 and $3,586, respectively. The number of shares accrued to be issued was at March 31, 2022.
Departure of Executive Officer
On January 30, 2019, the Company executed a Separation Agreement and Release with David Thompson, its former Senior Vice President- Finance, finalizing his departure from the Company as an employee. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, $0 and $17,936, respectively, was paid under this agreement. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance was $126,389, and is included in Accrued payable – related party in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On October 29, 2019, the Company accepted the resignation of Ron Throgmartin from his positions as CEO, President and Director. Mr.Throgmartin signed a -year term Separation Agreement which, among other matters, terminated his Employment Agreement, as amended. On the date of the Separation Agreement, the Company acknowledged it owed Mr. Throgmartin the amount of $517,252 in principal and accrued interest of note payable, salary and fees, accrued during the 5 years of his employment. In addition, the Corporation further acknowledged that it will pay Mr. Throgmartin fifty (50%) percent of his compensation due under the remaining Employment Agreement, or $614,583 under certain conditions, which the Company accrued in full as the date of Mr. Throgmartin’s separation. This agreement provides that the Registrant will pay him $5,000 monthly against his accrued salary/fees and 50% of future compensation due under his terminated Employment Agreement, with certain accelerated payments in the event Registrant’s financial results attain certain EBITA benchmarks. Registrant shall have the right to require Mr. Throgmartin to provide consulting services to Registrant for a per diem fee of $500. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, $15,000 and $15,000, respectively, were paid under this agreement. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance was $805,597 and $820,597, respectively, and is included in Accrued payable – related party in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. |

| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future periods. |

The financial statements include the accounts of Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Diego Pellicer World-wide 1, Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities and derivative financial instruments issued in financing transactions and share based payment arrangements, the collectability of accounts receivable and other receivables (see Note 4), valuation of right of use assets and lease liabilities and deferred taxes and related valuation allowances.
Certain estimates, including evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could influence our estimates and could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company intends to re-evaluate all its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of rents receivable from the Company’s sublessee as disclosed in Note 4. Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. We have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, note receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash, receivables, notes receivable, payables and notes payable because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
The following table reflects assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
Derivative liabilities and stock warrant liabilities were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model in calculating the embedded conversion features for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash | Cash
The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, up to $250,000. The Company’s accounts at these institutions may, at times, exceed the federal insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. There were no uninsured balances at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company recognizes rent income on a straight-line basis over the lease term to the extent that collection is considered probable. As a result, the Company has been recognizing rents as they become payable.
During the initial term of the lease, management has a policy of partial rent forbearance when the tenant first opens the facility to assure that the tenant has the opportunity for success. Management may be required to exercise considerable judgment in estimating revenue to be recognized.
When management concludes that the Company is the owner of tenant improvements, the Company records the cost to construct the tenant improvements as a capital asset. In addition, the Company records the cost of certain tenant improvements paid for or reimbursed by tenants as capital assets when management concludes that the Company is the owner of such tenant improvements. For these tenant improvements, the Company records the amount funded or reimbursed by tenants as deferred revenue, which is amortized as additional rental income over the term of the related lease. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record the Company’s contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The Company analyzes its contracts to assess that they are within the scope and in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, whether for goods and services or licensing, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Leases | Leases
We have elected the practical expedient provided by ASC 842 that allows lessees to choose to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset and are applying this expedient to all relevant asset classes. We have also elected the practical expedient package to not reassess at adoption (i) expired or existing contracts for whether they are or contain a lease, (ii) the lease classification of any existing leases or (iii) initial indirect costs for existing leases. |

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, advertising expense was $8,465 and $9,881, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The computation of limitations relating to the amount of such tax assets, and the determination of appropriate valuation allowances relating to the realizing of such assets, are inherently complex and require the exercise of judgment. As additional information becomes available, the Company continually assesses the carrying value of their net deferred tax assets. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments | Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of net cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC Topic 815-40 “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of our common stock for common shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income (loss) per common share |
The Company utilizes ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. In accordance with ASC 260, the basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is adjusted for the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company has and common stock equivalents at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, these potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share. There are shares authorized resulting in insufficient shares as of March 31, 2022. Substantially all of these excess shares are included in the derivative liability calculations for convertible notes payable and warrants and are therefore accounted for at fair value. |

| Legal and regulatory environment | Legal and regulatory environment
The cannabis industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, and different taxation between federal and state. Federal government activity may increase in the future with respect to companies involved in the cannabis industry concerning possible violations of federal statutes and regulations.
Management believes that the Company is in compliance with local, state and federal regulations and, while no regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time. |
