NOTE 1 — THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Financial Statement Presentation and principles of consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the operations and balances of NewBridge Global Ventures, Inc. (“NewBridge”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Elevated Education, Inc. (“Elevated”), 5Leaf, LLC (“5Leaf”), Genus Management Group, LLC (“Genus”), Mad Creek Farm, LLC (“Mad Creek”), 725 E 11th, LLC (“11th Street”), Timothy Lane LLC (“Timothy”), East 10^th Street LLC (“10^th Street”), The Bay Clonery, LLC (“Bay Clonery”), Roots of Caly, LLC (“Roots”) and 50% owned subsidiary Green Thumb Distributors, Inc. (“Green Thumb”). The consolidated financial statements include the operations of NewBridge and Elevated since July 14, 2018 which operations are continuing (see Reverse Acquisition below). Genus, Timothy, 10^th Street, Green Thumb, Bay Clonery, and Roots were formed in 2018 (collectively, “New Entities”, “we”, or “the Company”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Organization – On July 14, 2018, NewBridge closed on Share Exchange and Purchase Agreements (the Share Exchange and Purchase Agreements the “Purchase Agreements”, the acquisitions the “July Acquisitions”, and the closing of the July Acquisitions the “Closing”) with the various members and shareholders of 11^th Street, Mad Creek, Timothy, Genus (formerly GLML) and 5Leaf (together with Mad Creek, Timothy and Genus, the “Consortium”), whereby NewBridge purchased the shares or membership interests of the several entities comprising the Consortium for an aggregate of 31,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Consortium consists of a farm, nursery, extraction facility, and management and real estate companies in the cannabis industry.  

Reverse Acquisition – The 31,000,000 shares issued to the Consortium represented 76% of the 40,904,589 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the July Acquisitions. In addition, three of the four board members were replaced by the sellers at the Close. Due to the relative size of the Consortium compared to the Company prior to the Closing and the change in control of the Company, the July Acquisitions were considered a reverse acquisition and the Consortium is the acquirer for accounting purposes. The historical financial statements are of the Consortium.

Nature of Business – The Company is vertically integrated and through its subsidiaries intends to cultivate, manufacture, and distribute industrial hemp throughout the United States and medical and recreational cannabis in California as follows:

· Mad Creek Farm—plans to be a grower of cannabis,

· 5Leaf—plans to manufacture and extract oils from hemp and cannabis,

· Green Thumb—has applied for a California Type 11 license in the Bay area,

· Genus—plans to provide consulting services to cultivators, processors and retailers.

· Elevated Education—is creating and plans to market curriculum focused on the endocannabinoid system, pharmacology and clinical applications of medical cannabis.

· Bay Clonery—plans to operate as an indoor nursery and tissue culture lab and to cultivate and market cannabis clones.
