1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business:
Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company,” “us”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated as Ultra Sun Corp. under the laws of Nevada in November 2004. On November 13, 2013, we changed our name to Cannabis Sativa, Inc. We operate through several subsidiaries including:
| · | PrestoCorp, Inc. (“PrestoCorp”) |
| · | Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. (“Wild Earth”) |
| · | Kubby Patent and Licenses Limited Liability Company (“KPAL”) |
| · | Hi Brands, International, Inc. (“Hi Brands”) |
| · | Eden Holdings LLC (“Eden”). |
| · | iBudtender, Inc. (“iBud”) – through April 2021 |
| · | GK Manufacturing and Packaging, Inc. (“GKMP”) - through April 2021 |
PrestoCorp is a 51% owned subsidiary and until April 22, 2021, GKMP and iBud were 51% and 50.1% owned subsidiaries. Wild Earth, KPAL, Hi Brands, and Eden are wholly owned subsidiaries. At December 31, 2021, PrestoCorp is the sole operating subsidiary. Until sale of the Company’s interest in April 2021, GKMP and iBud tender were operating subsidiaries although iBud was not generating any revenue.
Our primary operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and through September 30, 2022 were through PrestoCorp, which provides telemedicine online referral services for customers desiring medical marijuana cards in states where medical marijuana has been legalized. The Company is actively seeking new business opportunities for acquisition and is continually reviewing opportunities for product and brand development through our Wild Earth, Hi Brands, and KPAL subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with audited financial statements and related footnotes set forth in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2022.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, and its results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (‘GAAP”) for complete financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (the “Company” or “CBDS”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and PrestoCorp, a 51% owned subsidiary. On April 22, 2021, we sold our interests in two companies in which the Company had majority control, iBud and GKMP. These condensed consolidated financial statements include operations of iBud and GKMP through April 22, 2021. All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
CANNABIS SATIVA, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 |
Going Concern:
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $79,984,982 at September 30, 2022, which, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they are due.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), the provision for income taxes and related deferred tax accounts, certain accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, contingencies, and the value attributed to stock-based awards.
Net Loss per Share:
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and contains no dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 175,000 and 175,000 outstanding warrants, respectively, and 695,708 and 824,989 shares of convertible preferred stock, respectively, that would be dilutive to future periods net income if converted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
Accounting Standards Updates Adopted
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years and with early adoption permitted. Early adoption of this update had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

3. Sale of Majority Owned Subsidiaries and Discontinued Operations
On April 22, 2021, the Company sold its majority interests in GKMP (51%) and iBud (50.1%) to THC Farmaceuticals, Inc. (“CBDG”). In consideration of the transaction, the Company received 1,500,000 shares of CBDG common stock and 1,500,000 shares of CBDG preferred stock. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, David Tobias is a Director of CBDG. Shares of CBDG common stock are traded on the OTC Pink Sheets Market.
The sale of the Company’s majority interests was undertaken to allow the Company to focus on its other operating subsidiary, PrestoCorp, to focus on capital formation for expansion of PrestoCorp, and to pursue other opportunities. At the time of the sale, iBud was inactive and GKMP had not yet achieved positive cash flow from operations.
On the closing date of the sale, CBDG common shares closed at $0.20 per share, for a fair value of $300,000. The CBDG preferred stock received is convertible into CBDG common stock on a one for one basis and has no other rights or preferences that distinguish it from the common stock and are convertible at any time by the Company. Management determined that the shares of preferred stock received are equivalent to CBDG’s common stock and valued the preferred shares at the same rate. In the aggregate, the total shares of CBDG stock received were valued at $600,000 on the date of the sale.

In 2021, the Company received 1,500,000 shares of common stock and 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock of THC Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ticker: CBDG).
