The Company’s fixed assets consist of the following: a property at
135
North Rear Road, and leasehold improvements at
20
North Rear Road. The company paid
$1,064,651
in order to buy
135
North Rear Road, which is intended to serve as an office and an experimental growing space for the Company. This amount was capitalized as an asset in the balance sheet called “land.” All of these assets were acquired during
2014.
In
September
2016,
the property at
135
North Rear Road was included in the deal to acquire a technology patent – see Note
12
for details.
 
The Company leases
20
North Rear Road from a cousin of Mr. Chaaban, the Company’s President (see note
8).
Over the course of
2014,
the Company constructed improvements to this property, including structures and equipment for growing marijuana, security fencing required for licensing as a marijuana producer, and other infrastructure. According to the terms of the lease, the owner of the property will retain possession of any immovable improvements upon the termination of the lease, but the Company believes it can realize the value of these assets once it begins operations. The Company also believes renewal of the lease is likely, but this cannot be guaranteed (see Note
8
for more on the lease).
 
The assets will be classified on the balance sheet as improvements in progress until the Company obtains a license to produce pharmaceutical-grade medical marijuana and is able to begin operations. Until that time, the Company cannot make the final additions that will be necessary for the sites to
 
function as growing spaces. Although there are currently grow rooms outfitted and ready to grow.  The amount listed represents the capitalized costs the Company incurred in constructing the improvements, some of which were paid to related parties (see Note
7).
 
Our impairment assessment as of
December
31,
2016
concluded the investment at
20
North Rear Road is substantially impacted by the changes in Canada’s MMPR and the company is reporting impairment charges of
$4,835,596
based upon our assessment related to specialty use elements of the leasehold improvements at
20
North Rear Road.
