CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company, are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve substantial risks and uncertainty. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Our business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties inherent in our statements regarding:

 

  our projected financial position and estimated cash burn rate;
     
  our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues and capital requirements;
     
  our ability to continue as a going concern;
     
  our need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations;
     
  our ability to compete in the global space industry;
     
  our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our current products and services;
     
  our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and the potential for us to incur substantial costs from lawsuits to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights;
     
  the possibility that a third party may claim we have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated their intellectual property rights and that we may incur substantial costs and be required to devote substantial time defending against these claims;
     
  our reliance on third-party suppliers and manufacturers;
     
  the success of competing products or services that are or become available;
     
  our ability to expand our organization to accommodate potential growth and our ability to retain and attract key personnel;
     
  the potential for us to incur substantial costs resulting from lawsuits against us and the potential for these lawsuits to cause us to limit our commercialization of our products and services;

 

All of our forward-looking statements are as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q only. In each case, actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other documents or filings filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections or other circumstances affecting such forward-looking statements occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. We obtained the industry and market data in this annual report on Form 10-Q from our own research as well as from industry and general publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains projections and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, including those discussed in “Risk Factors.” We caution you not to give undue weight to such projections, assumptions, and estimates. Further, industry and general publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that these publications, studies, and surveys are reliable, we have not independently verified the data contained in them. In addition, while we believe that the results and estimates from our internal research are reliable, such results and estimates have not been verified by any independent source.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

 

Pineapple, Inc. (“Pineapple” or the “Company”) was originally formed in the State of Nevada under the name Global Resources, Ltd. on August 3, 1983. On April 12, 1999, the Company changed its name to “Helixphere Technologies Inc.”. On September 19, 2013, the Company changed its name to “New China Global Inc.” On October 30, 2013, the Company filed its Articles of Continuance with the Secretary of State of Wyoming pursuant to which the Company was re-domiciled from the State of Nevada to the State of Wyoming. On July 15, 2014, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “New China Global Inc.” to “Globestar Industries”. On September 3, 2015, the Company changed its name to “Pineapple Express, Inc.” from “Globestar Industries.” The Company’s name has no relation to the 2008 motion picture produced by Columbia Pictures. Currently, the Company is in the process of seeking regulatory approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to change its name to Pineapple, Inc.

 

On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “PVI Agreement”) with Pineapple Ventures, Inc. (“PVI”), the Company’s equity-method investment, and the stockholders of PVI (the “PVI Stockholders”) in which the Company acquired a total of 50% of the outstanding shares of PVI, in consideration for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, from time to time, be converted by the holder into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0000001 (the “Common Stock”), in an amount equal to ten (10) shares of Common Stock for each one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The PVI Stockholders elected to immediately convert the 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 20,000,000 shares of common stock upon issuance.

 

On January 17, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Jaime Ortega whereby in exchange for Mr. Ortega cancelling $1,062,000 of existing loans extended to the Company by Jaime Ortega, Neu-Ventures, Inc., and Sky Island, Inc., the Company transferred to Mr. Ortega 10,000 shares of capital stock of PVI. Subsequently, on February 11, 2021, the parties entered into amended agreement pursuant to which the original number of shares sold to Mr. Ortega was reduced from 10,000 shares of capital stock of PVI to 4,827 shares of capital stock of PVI. Accordingly, the Company owned 45,173 shares of capital stock of PVI representing 45.17% ownership interest in PVI. This amendment was entered into to correct the original agreement and properly reflected the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the initial agreement. In September 2022, the Company recorded full impairment on the equity investment of $10,787,652.

 

On September 28th, 2022, the Company signed a letter of intent with Jaime Ortega for the sale of 100% interest of Pineapple Park, LLC (“PP”), in exchange for forgiveness of $10,000 of the existing note due to Ortega’s 100% owned entity, Neu-Ventures, Inc. The Entity has accordingly been removed from the Company’s basis of consolidated financial statements, which resulted in a decrease in the consolidated balance of accounts payable of $376,287 and a decrease in related party notes payable of $10,000. The sale of the Entity resulted in a gain of $386,287, which has been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

On March 10, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended Binding Letter of Intent effective as of December 31, 2022 with Mr. Ortega, amending the prior Letter of Intent executed January 4, 2023, where the Company agreed to sell 45.17% of its equity interest in Pineapple Ventures, Inc., in exchange for the purchase price of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.0000001 par value per share and the extinguishment of all of the Company’s debt to PVI and Neu-Ventures, Inc., respectively, of which both PVI and NVI are wholly owned by Ortega.

 

On June 12, 2023, Pineapple, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment to the Letter of Intent, by and between the Company and Matthew Feinstein (the “Amended LOI”), which amends the Letter of Intent, dated September 28, 2022. Pursuant to the Amended LOI, the Company shall acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Pineapple Wellness, Inc., a California corporation (“PW”) from Matthew Feinstein, the Chief Financial Officer, Director and shareholder of the Company and also the sole shareholder of PW, in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Presently, the Company procures and leases properties to licensed cannabis operators and provides nationwide hemp-derived CBD sales via online and in-store transactions. Through the Company’s operating subsidiary, Pineapple Express Consulting Inc., it also offers cannabis business licensing and consulting services.

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, assessment of legal accruals, the fair value of the Company’s stock, Incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) used for leases and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. (Note 12)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

  Level 1- Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
     
  Level 2- Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
     
  Level 3- Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable approximates their fair values since the current interest rates and terms on these obligations are the same as prevailing market rates.

 

Acquisition Under Common Control 

 

Under ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the receiving entity recognize the assets and liabilities transferred at their historical cost and combine the accounts under pooling-of interest method on a retroactive basis.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.

 

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has no cash equivalents and had cash of $1,509 and $0, respectively.

 

Security Deposits

 

As of June 30, 2023, security deposit relates to security deposit paid for seven office premises of $270,278.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded inventory impairment of $27,336. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had inventory of $0 and $27,336, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consist of furniture and fixtures and office equipment. They are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of the classes of property and equipment are as follows:

 

Office equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years

Investment – Equity Method

 

The Company accounted for its equity method investment (“PVI”) at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investment for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2022, management has identified indicators of other-than-temporary impairment that have led to the conclusion that the carrying value of its equity method investment is not recoverable. As a result, the Company has recorded an impairment write-down in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the Company recognized income from equity method investment of $0 and $741,364, respectively.

 

Related Party Balances and Transactions

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transaction. (Note 8)

 

Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense is reported under cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in line with the Company’s main operation of procuring and leasing properties to licensed cannabis operators.

 

Sublease

 

Under ASC 842, income for a sublessor operating lease is recognized as a single lease income item on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reflected in the appropriate income statement line item based on the lease asset’s function. For transactions where the company is considered the sublessor, revenue for operating leases is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease. Sublessor revenue relates to operating leases that the Company is subleasing. The Company recognizes sublease revenue on a gross basis. (see note 9)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue derives from sublease revenue and sales of CBD products.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of CBD products in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue Recognition” following the five steps procedure:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of CBD products of $0 and $822 and incurred cost of sales from CBD products of $0 and $488, resulting in gross profit of $0 and $334 from CBD products, respectively.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from subleasing of office premises in accordance with ASC842, “Lease Accounting”. The Company recognizes sublease revenue on monthly straight-line basis over the lease term on gross basis.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized sublease revenue from related parties of $52,500 and $0 and incurred lease expense of $323,134 and $0, resulting in gross loss of $270,634 and $0 from subleases, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the Company. In computing diluted income (loss) per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no options or warrants outstanding and no shares issuable for conversion of notes payable.

Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. These amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in its consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $24,045,864 as of June 30, 2023 and incurred a net loss of $507,100 during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

The Company has incurred net losses during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and in all prior years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placements of its common stock and from issuance of its short-term on demand loans, primarily from related parties. The Company intends to raise additional capital in the short term through addition of demand loans and, once the up listing to a higher exchange is completed, through private placements to sell restricted shares of common stock to investors. There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations.

 

If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, scale back its current business plan and/or curtail operations until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to execute its strategy and on its ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate the Company’s business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to it. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

Investor Three

 

In December 2015, the Company entered into a Revenue Share Agreement for $750,000 that was recorded as “advances on agreements” liability.

Thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligations or responsibilities to Investor Three in connection with this Revenue Share Agreement. Due to the above clause, by reason of defaults on the DHS Project (as defined elsewhere herein), an additional penalty of $75,000 was incurred which was recorded as deferred finance cost. During the fiscal year 2018, the Company reduced $200,000 of principal by transferring land to Investor Three. During the fiscal year 2018, the Company also recorded a loss on settlement of debt in the consolidated statements of operations increasing the balance by $97,800 to $615,000 at December 31, 2018. There has been no activity during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 10 – Advances on Agreements

 

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, advances on agreements balance consist of the following:

 

Noteholder  June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Investor One and Investor Two   169,000    169,000 
           
Advances on Agreements  $169,000   $169,000 

 

Investor One

 

On February 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (“BLOI1”) with Investor One that the Company deemed a financing agreement for the purchase of a certain property (APN: 665-030-044), and upon completion of development of the acquired property, subsequently a revenue share agreement that was for the following considerations: (i) payment by Investor One of $125,000, representing one-half the purchase price of the property, (ii) the Company would have repurchased the financed property for $187,500 within one year of the purchase, and (iii) “rent” payments of $3,750 per month would have occurred during the referenced one year period.

 

During March 2016, the $125,000 in financing from Investor One, in addition to $40,768 from the Company, was deposited in Escrow No.: 7101604737-ST with Chicago Title Company against the purchase of another property (APN: 665-030-043) that was the subject of additional funding by Investor Two, described below.

 

Investor Two

 

On March 18, 2016, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (“BLOI2”), subsequently amended by a Real Property Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement”) dated March 21, 2016, both of which the Company deemed a financing agreement for the purchase of a certain property (APN: 665-030-043) for the following considerations: (i) payment by Investor Two of $350,000 of the $515,000 purchase price of the property, (ii) the Company would assign the existing escrow amount of $165,768 to Investor Two, who would close the transaction and take title to the property, (iii) the Company would pay any taxes, fees and other out-of-pocket expenses associated with the transaction, and (iv) the Company would have repurchased the property from Investor Two for a price of $500,000 within ninety days of the closing of the transaction.

 

On March 22, 2016, Investor Two deposited $350,000 into the escrow account referenced above and the transaction closed with title conveyed to Investor Two as required under BLOI2. Subsequent to closing, the Company defaulted under the BLOI2 and the Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement as it did not reacquire the property in the required ninety days after closing. As a consequence, the Company forfeited the $165,768 deposited into the Chicago Title Escrow account referenced above.

 

Investment Accounting Treatments for Investors One and Two

 

The escrow agreement closed and Investor Two took title to property. There is no provision in BLOI2, or in the Subsequent Land Purchase Agreement, that would impose any continuing liability on the Company other than the loss of the Company’s escrow deposit.

 

As no terms and conditions were established to characterize the $125,000 investment as a Note Payable, the Company has recorded a continuing liability to Investor One in connection with BLOI1 having been recorded as a deferred liability. Contrary to the case with Investor Two, the Company acknowledged the additional $62,500 liability provided for under BLOI1 and $187,500 was recorded as “advances on agreements” as a short-term deferred liability on the Company’s books and records. Additionally, BLOI1 provided for a “rent” payment of $3,750 for a period of twelve months after execution of BLOI1.

In February 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Investor One which required the issuance of 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and established an additional principal sum for repayment of $200,000. The settlement includes installment payments of $10,000 per month beginning on February 15, 2019, until the balance is repaid and ends the accrual of interest. Prior to entering into the settlement agreement, the Company had recorded interest expense of $4,125, bringing the balance from $187,500 at December 31, 2018 to $191,625. The settlement agreement resulted in additional expense of $8,375. The Company made three $10,000 payments during the year ended December 31, 2019, reduced the value by another $1,000 in connection with the 20,000 shares being valued at $11,000 instead of the $10,000 value initially discussed. There was no activity during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business.

The following is a list of current litigation:

 

Hawkeye v. Pineapple Express, Inc., et al.

 

Los Angeles Superior Court Case Number: BC708868 was filed June 6, 2018.

Defendants deny all allegations of claims asserted in the Complaint. Notwithstanding, the parties settled the matter pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement in or about January 3, 2020. However, the matter was reduced to an entry of judgment by the court in or about February 21, 2020, for the amount of $615,000, which monies remain due and outstanding and are accrued for in the Company’s settlement payable as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Introduction

 

The Company has spent the last several years recasting the direction of the Company. We intend to take advantage of the opportunities that have been identified in the ancillary cannabis sectors. The market opportunities that are opened to a ancillary service provider to the cannabis company include hemp CBD sales, property rentals to cannabis operators at a profit and selling the proprietary Top Shelf System to cannabis dispensaries.

 

Our Business

 

Pineapple, Inc. (f/k/a Pineapple Express, Inc). (“Pineapple”, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is based in Los Angeles, California and has a web presence of Pineappleinc.com. The Company procures and leases properties to licensed cannabis operators and provides nationwide hemp-derived CBD sales via online and in-store transactions, through Pineapple Wellness, Inc., which the Company acquired on June 12, 2023. The purpose of the acquisition was to have a fully functioning e-commerce platform, brand name of Pineapple Wellness, and domain of pineapplewellness.com to sell hemp-based CBD products. The acquisition also came with the opportunity to lease a CBD focused retail storefront near Beverly Hills, which the Company is currently in the process of making ready for in-store hemp-based CBD transactions. The Company will be assuming the lease on the retail storefront referenced herein as of October 1, 2023.

 

Through the Company’s operating subsidiary, Pineapple Express Consulting Inc., it also offers cannabis business licensing and consulting services. The Company’s executive team blends enterprise-level corporate expertise with decades of combined experience operating in the tightly-regulated cannabis industry.

 

ln addition to the foregoing business ventures, the Company was also assigned a patent for the proprietary Top Shelf Safe Display System (“SDS”) for use in permitted cannabis dispensaries and delivery vehicles across the United States and internationally (where permitted by law), on July 20, 2016, by Sky Island, Inc. (the “SDS Patent”) via a Patent Assignment Agreement (the “Patent Assignment Agreement”). The SDS Patent was originally applied for and filed on August 11, 2015, by Sky Island, Inc. and received its notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office on March 22, 2017. It is anticipated that the Top-Shelf SDS product shall retail for $30,000 per unit.

The Company anticipates beginning sales of the Top Shelf SDS system in the third quarter of 2023.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. As a result, significant volatility has occurred in both the United States and International markets. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. To date, the Company has experienced declining revenues, difficulty staffing interpreters, difficulty meeting debt covenants, maintaining consistent service quality with reduced revenue, and a loss of customers. Management expects this matter to continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial position, but the ultimate financial impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity, or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

Recent Developments

 

With relations to the Pineapple Wellness, Inc. acquisition, to make up for the expired Hemp-CBD inventory, the Company ordered new Hemp-CBD inventory from its supplier, and commenced working on the retail Hemp-CBD storefront at 8783 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA.

 

On August 17th, the Company gave 30 days’ notice to Chief Operations Officer, Joshua Eisenberg, that Mr. Eisenberg’s services would no longer be needed as of September 17, 2023. On September 1, 2023, Mr. Eisenberg resigned effective immediately and the Company accepted the resignation as of that date.

 

On September 15th, 2023, the Company appointed Marco Rullo as an independent director on the Company’s board of directors.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

Working Capital

 

   As of   As of         
   June 30,   December 31,         
   2023   2022   Changes   % 
                 
Current Assets  $54,009   $27,336   $26,673    98%
Current Liabilities  $3,033,919   $1,414,372   $1,619,547    115%
Working Capital Deficiency  $(2,979,910)  $(1,387,036)  $(1,592,874)   115%

 

Our total current assets increased to $54,009 as of June 30, 2023 from $27,336 as of December 31, 2022 due primarily to an increase in lease receivable from related parties of $52,500.

 

Our total current liabilities increased to $3,033,919 as of June 30, 2023 from $1,414,372 as of December 31, 2022 due primarily to the increase in operating lease liability and amount due to affiliates for payment made to vendors on behalf of the Company.

 

Our working capital deficit on June 30, 2023 was $2,979,910 as compared to working capital deficit of $1,387,036 as of December 31, 2022. The increase in working capital deficit was mainly attributed to the increase in operating lease liability and amount due to affiliates for payment made to vendors on behalf of the Company.

 

The Company have funded our operations since inception primarily through the issuance of our equity securities in private placements to third parties, and/or promissory notes to related parties for cash. The cash was used primarily for operating activities, including cost of employees, management services, professional fees, consultant fees, and travel. Our management expects that cash from operating activities will not provide sufficient cash to fund normal operations, support debt service, or undertake certain investments we anticipate prosecuting for our business proposition both in the near and intermediate terms. We will continue to rely on financing provided under notes from related and third-party party sources, as well as sale of shares of our common stock in private placements, to fund our expected cash requirements.

We intend to continue raising additional capital through the issuance of equity and debt securities for cash. There can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or will be sufficient to enable us to fully complete our development activities or sustain operations. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional funds, we will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead and operations, or scale back our current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in such consolidated financial statements, we had an accumulated stockholders’ deficit of $24,045,864 and had a net loss of $507,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firms in their audit reports to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern was raised due to our net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and our expectation that these conditions may continue for the foreseeable future. In addition, we will require additional financing to fund future operations. Our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Based on our management’s estimates and expectation to continue to receive short-term debt funding from a related party on as needed basis, we believe that current funds on hand as of the date of issuance and proceeds of such loans will be sufficient for us to continue operations beyond twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our business strategy and in our ability to raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate our business; however, we can give no assurance that any future financing will be available or, if at all, and if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we can obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, assessment of legal accruals, the fair value of our stock, Incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) used for leases and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense is reported under cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in line with the Company’s main operation of procuring and leasing properties to licensed cannabis operators.

 

Sublease

 

Income for a sublessor operating lease is recognized as a single lease income item on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reflected in the appropriate income statement line item based on the lease asset’s function. For transactions where the company is considered the sublessor, revenue for operating leases is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease. Sublessor revenue relates to operating leases that the Company is subleasing. The Company recognizes sublease revenue on a gross basis. (see note 9)

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to reasonably 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 rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Management based its controls on the report, “2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, and to the same extent as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

Material Weaknesses and Corrective Actions

 

To the same extent as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we identified certain deficiencies relating to our internal control over financial reporting that constitute a material weakness under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”). The PCAOB defines a material weakness 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 the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

 

The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist as of June 30, 2023:

 

  The Company does not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
     
  Due to the size of the Company and available resources, there are limited personnel to assist with the accounting and financial reporting functions, which results in lack of sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to the Company’s limited size and early-stage nature of operations, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible; however, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals; and
     
  The Company does not have an audit committee of our board of directors.

 

10

 

 

To remediate the Company’s internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures, as finances allow:

 

  Developing and maintaining adequate written accounting policies and procedures, once additional accounting personnel or outside consultants are engaged.

 

The additional hiring is contingent upon our efforts to obtain additional funding and the results of our operations.

 

Management expects to secure funds before the end of the current fiscal year but provides no assurances that it will be able to do so.

 

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above, our management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

CEO and CFO Certifications

 

Exhibit 31.1 to this Quarterly Report has the “Certifications” of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. These Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 4 of this Quarterly Report contains is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications, and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation. While the outcome of any litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a materially adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The following is a list of current litigation:
