F- 5 |
The following subsidiaries and controlling interests are included with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2017:
In 2012, the Company formed Cannabis Science Europe GmbH (“CSE”) in which the Company own 90% to operate joint-venture operations with Dupetit Natural Products Ltd. The JV asset was sold to Endocan Corporation (formerly X-Change Corporation) on December 12, 2012. No operations had commenced at the time of sale of the JV asset. The Company has reignited the CSE by appointing Mr. Alfredo Dupetit on September 19, 2015 as president and chief executive officer of CSE. As recent as January 7, 2016, the Federal Health Ministry in Germany has presented “Cannabis as medicine”, a detailed draft bill that aims to modify the Drug Law and relax the strict measures that regulate the consumption of medical cannabis and, above all, become the main vehicle for everything relating to the plant and its medical users in the country. The Company has reinstated the development of cannabis products in February 2016 for medicinal uses in Germany.
On May 6, 2013, the Company formed Cannabis Science International Holdings B.V. and on May 10, 2013, the Company formed Cannabis Science B.V. for the purpose of wholly-owned operating subsidiaries for the Company’s European and world-wide operations.

Mario Lap, director of the Company and director and officer of Cannabis Science B.V. manages the day-to-day operations through his private companies MLS BV, MJR BV and Cannabis Agency BV, all are Netherlands registered companies.
On August 6, 2014, the Company signed a proposal letter with Michigan Green Technologies, LLC (“MGT”) to acquire an additional 30.1% equity in MGT and completed the transaction with the principals of MGT under the proposal letter on February 20, 2015 to effectively increase the Company’s equity ownership to 50.1%. As consideration for acquiring the additional 30.1% equity, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $60,000 to the principals and shareholders of MGT.
On May 6, 2015, the Company announced the Assets acquisition of Equi-Pharm LLC, a USA manufacturer and distributor of specialty horse and pet grooming and topical applications. The acquisition incorporates an extensive expansion plan for Equi-Pharm including "Large Animal" such as horses, cattle, sheep and the like and "Small Animal" or "Pets" include cats, dogs, pet snakes and the like for medical and cosmetic products. As consideration for acquiring the Assets, which consist of Inventory, Trademark and brand names, and goodwill, the Company issued ten million (10,000,000) shares to the shareholders of Equi-Pharm and they agreed to change its company name. The acquisition was completed on November 16, 2015 and the Company has formed a new wholly owned subsidiary called Equi-Pharm LLC. in the state of Tennessee and started the operation of distributing of existing and new line of products.
On February 2, 2017, the Cannabis Science GmbH, a subsidiary 90% owned by the Company and 10% owned by Dupetit Natural Products GmbH, has entered a Share Purchase Agreement with Jinvator BioMed GmbH (Jinvator), a German corporation, for 74.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Jinvator for three hundred thousand Euros (€ 300,000) which has a US dollar equivalent of $320,430. Jinvator developed a prototype called nanoGold-Test which is based on nano-particle technology for the detection of HIV in the early stage of infection. Patent has been submitted and pending for approval. The acquisition is pending on verification of key information.
On May 10, 2017, the Company paid €60,000, which has a US dollar equivalent of $65,214, to the principal shareholder of Jinvator BioMed GmbH (Jinvator) as deposit for the purchase of the 74.9% equity interest in Jinvator.

For other accounting policies please refer to the Company’s 10-K/A filed with the SEC on file no. 000-28911 171022778 August 11, 2017
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 101 of the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) as we do not have more than $1,000,000,000 in annual gross revenue and did not have such amount as of December 31, 2016, our last fiscal year. We are electing to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported an accumulated deficit of $144,822,153 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $2,537,903 as of June 30, 2017.
In view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of capital. At June 30, 2017, the Company had insufficient operating revenues and cash flow to meet its financial obligations. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire research and growing facilities, and to cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional public or private offerings of debt or equity securities. There are no commitment or arrangements for other offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be forthcoming, or as to the terms of any such financings.
Any future financing may involve substantial dilution to existing investors. We had been relying on our common stock to pay third parties for services which has resulted in substantial dilution to existing investors.

Overview of the Company’s Business
Cannabis Science, Inc. (formerly Gulf Onshore, Inc.) (“We” or “the Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado, on February 29, 1996, as Patriot Holdings, Inc. On August 26, 1999, the Company changed its name to National Healthcare Technology, Inc. On June 6, 2007, the Company changed its name from National Healthcare Technology, Inc., to Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc., and converted to a Nevada corporation. On March 25, 2008 the Company changed its name to Gulf Onshore, Inc. On April 7, 2009, the Company changed its name to Cannabis Science, Inc.
Cannabis Science, Inc. is at the forefront of medical cannabis research and development. The Company works with world authorities on phytocannabinoid science targeting critical illnesses, and adheres to scientific methodologies to develop, produce, and commercialize phytocannabinoid-based pharmaceutical products. In summary, we are dedicated to the creation of cannabis-based medicines, both with and without psychoactive properties, to treat disease and the symptoms of disease, as well as for general health maintenance.
Cannabis Science, Inc., takes advantage of its unique understanding of metabolic processes to provide novel treatment approaches to a number of illnesses for which current treatments and understanding remain unsatisfactory. The Company works with leading experts in drug development, medicinal characterization, and clinical research to develop, produce, and commercialize novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment for illnesses caused by infections as well as for age-related illness. Our initial focus is on skin cancers and neurological conditions.
Cannabis Science, Inc. takes advantage of its unique understanding of metabolic processes to provide innovative treatment options for unmet medical needs.
Cannabis use has an extensive history dating back thousands of years, and currently there are thousands of peer-reviewed scientific publications that document the underlying biochemical pathways that cannabinoids modulate.
At Cannabis Science, we use an inquiring approach to discover and develop novel cannabinoid-based therapies to improve patients’ lives. From the initiation, our founders have been committed to fostering and maintaining a bold, pioneering spirit fostering the true nature of innovation from which cutting edge ideas flourish and translate into evidence-based solutions.
We are dedicated to working closely with local, national and international regulatory agencies to provide access to high quality, first class cannabinoid pharmaceuticals to those critically in need of new treatments for life threatening and debilitating conditions. Cannabis Science’s clinical trial material comes from the cultivation and production facilities that are GMP compliant, surpassing high quality standard industrial and food processing requirements.
The Company works with leading experts in drug development, medicinal characterization, and clinical research to develop, produce, and commercialize novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of multiple critical ailments from cancer and infections to age-related illnesses.
Our products, broadly described, are medical cannabinoid formulations developed from one or more of the cannabinoid compounds found in the cannabis plant. Our immediate focus is to treat one of the most important diseases in the world, cancer.
CS-S/BCC1 is in preparation to enter phase I clinical trials within one to two year. This product is formulated for topical administration to be tested in phase I study, with an indication for skin cancer.

CS-TATI1 is in preclinical development with the indication for infectious disease. Consistent with data published in March by researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that cannabinoids inhibit TAT induced migration to TAT via cannabinoid 2 receptors (CB2) which has potential applications in HIV and other infectious diseases.
In November 2013, Cannabis Science submitted patent application N2010968 in Europe entitled "Composition for the Treatment of Neurobehavioral Disorders." The subject of the patent is development of cannabinoid-based formulations to treat a variety of neurobehavioral disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety. The first formulation in the series of neurobehavioral disorder-targeted products is the pre-clinical development and use of the invention in food products through a licensing agreement with a strategic partner and related company, OmniCanna Health Solutions, Inc. And Cannabis Science will move forward at the same time with pharmaceutical grade product development.
Cannabis plants have extensive history of medical and agricultural use dating back thousands of years.
To date hundreds of natural constituents covering several chemical classes have been isolated and identified from the Cannabis plant.
Some key phytocannabinoids are:
· | tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) |
· | cannabidiol (CBD) |
· | cannabigerol (CBG) |
· | cannabichromene (CBC) |
· | cannabinol (CBN) |
These cannabinoids belong to the chemical class of terpenophenolics, of which 85 have been uniquely identified in cannabis, including the most psychoactive cannabinoid, THC.
Some applications of cannabinoids have been well established in peer-reviewed literature such as for alleviating nausea and stimulating the appetite for people with AIDS and cancer. Other well-known uses include easing chronic pain and reducing muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries.
The pharmacology of THC has been widely studied, while many other identified cannabinoids are still poorly characterized pharmacologically and biologically, with new activities for cannabinoids consistently being discovered.
Cannabis Science is developing novel cannabis based approaches to treat the world’s most deadly illnesses. We learn from patients about the healing properties of cannabis medicines. Our immediate focus is the development of cutting edge cancer treatments.
The Company’s future endeavors include infectious illnesses, neurobehavioral disorders including attention deficit disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder; and an application of the anti-inflammatory activities of cannabis in the management of age-related illnesses.
The endocannabinoid system possessed by all vertebrates regulates all body systems and maintains homeostasis. As such, the mechanisms of phytocannabinoids’ biological impact are multidimensional.
While concentrating on our core activities of discovering and developing treatments that will make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives, we remain mindful that we have other responsibilities to the clinicians who utilize our drugs, health authorities around the world, our shareholders, our employees, and the communities in which we live and work. We continually strive to improve our corporate responsibility standards and activities, implementing comprehensive ethical standards and undertaking patient and community progressive initiatives.
These principles reflect the mission of Cannabis Science to provide innovative therapeutics for unmet medical needs.

The Company is working on several business acquisition and development projects to increase business and revenue generation in 2017 and beyond, including but not limited to: product licensing and royalty agreements, private label hemp product line, consulting, and other strategic acquisitions to support product development, production, and distribution of newly acquire or manufactured cannabis and hemp based products.

Liquidity
The Company has a working capital deficit of $4,670,849 as of June 30, 2017, compared to a working capital deficit of $2,983,206 as of December 31, 2016, There are insufficient liquid assets to meet current liabilities or sustain operations through 2016 and beyond and the Company must raise additional capital to cover the working capital deficit. Management is working on plans to raise additional capital through private placements and lending facilities. The Company currently is relying on existing cash and loans from stockholders to meet its obligations and sustain operations.
The Company has promissory note payment commitments of $1,340,156 due to stockholders and currently is in default. The Company is negotiating with the debtors to extend the notes payable. In addition, the Company has convertible promissory notes payment commitment of $670,407 to Raymond C. Dabney, CEO/Director of the Company and $1,235,790 to Royalty Management Services Corp.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has various commitments under consulting contracts, debt settlement, farming rights agreements, laboratory services agreement, joint development, and joint venture agreement.
Capital Resources
The Company has additional capital resource requirements for personnel, supplies, research and development, laboratory, cultivation equipment, green houses and scientific equipment of approximately $6,000,000 over the next 12 months. These capital disbursements are dependent on management’s successful raising of capital through private placements and/or lending facilities.
The Company is not currently in good short-term financial standing. We anticipate that we may only generate limited revenues in the near future and we will not have enough positive internal operating cash flow until we can generate substantial revenues, which may take the next two years to fully realize. There is no assurance we will achieve profitable operations. We have historically financed our operations primarily by cash flows generated from the sale of our equity securities and through cash infusions from officers and outside investors in exchange for debt and/or common stock.
Results of Operations

The Company had $3,985 in revenues for the 2017 compared to $5,787 for 2016. This decrease in revenue was due to reduction of sales of Equi-Pharm and license revenue from product sales.
Our research and development expenses increased by $127,295 to $385,832 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $258,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

This increase was due to higher share prices in the stock compensation expense pursuant to management consulting and bonus agreements.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding any statement in this Form 10-Q or elsewhere. The following information should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-Q.
Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
The Company is subject to laws and regulations worldwide, changes to which could hinder the Company’s medical cannabis research and increase the Company’s costs and individually or in the aggregate adversely affect the Company’s business.
The Company is subject to laws and regulations affecting its domestic and international operations in medical research and production of medical cannabis. These U.S. and foreign laws and regulations affect the Company’s activities including, but not limited to, areas of sales to only certain legalized regions, labor, advertising, digital content, product label, consumer protection, billing, e-commerce, promotions, quality of services, media, television, intellectual property ownership and infringement, tax, import and export requirements, foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions, environmental, health, and safety.
By way of example, laws and regulations related to cannabis in United States is listed under Schedule 1 of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as defined under the United States Controlled Substances Act even though there are 20 states have legalized medical marijuana and eight states legalized for recreational use.
12 |
Compliance with these laws, regulations and similar requirements may be onerous and expensive, and they may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business. Any such costs, which may rise in the future as a result of changes in these laws and regulations or in their interpretation could individually or in the aggregate make the Company’s products and services less attractive to the Company’s customers, delay the introduction of new products in one or more regions, or cause the Company to change or limit its business practices. The Company has implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but there can be no assurance that the Company’s employees, contractors, or agents will not violate such laws and regulations or the Company’s policies and procedures.
Risk related to Liquidity and Capital Resources: Although our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, we must raise additional capital before September 30, 2017 to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.
Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P., our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position we may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompany consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.
We anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund our activities needs through September 30, 2017. In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond September 30, 2017, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital by September 30, 2017 in order to continue as a going concern and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.
Our stockholders are subject to significant dilution upon the occurrence of certain events which could result in a decrease in our stock price.
As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately 1.906 billion shares of our common stock reserved or designated for future issuance upon conversion of outstanding convertible promissory notes. Further, we may from time to time make an offer to our debtors or consultants to exchange their outstanding debts or services for shares of our common stock. Any future issuance of common shares will have a further dilutive effect on our existing stockholders and could result in a decrease in our stock prices.
Investment in new business strategies and acquisitions could disrupt the Company’s ongoing business and present risks not originally contemplated.
The Company has invested, and in the future may invest, in new business strategies or acquisitions. Such endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management from current operations, greater than expected liabilities and expenses, inadequate return of capital, and unidentified issues not discovered in the Company’s due diligence. These new ventures are inherently risky and may not be successful.
The Company’s stock price is subject to volatility.
The Company’s stock continues to experience substantial price volatility. Additionally, the Company, the medical cannabis industry, and the stock market as a whole have experienced extreme stock price and volume fluctuations that have affected stock prices in ways that may have been unrelated to these companies’ operating performance.
The Company’s ability to raise additional capital to fund operations
The Company is required to raise additional funds to acquire research and growing facilities, and to cover cost of operations. We intend to do so through additional public or private offerings of debt or equity securities. There are no commitment or arrangements for other offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be forthcoming or as to the terms of any such financings.
