PART I
Item 1. Business
Historical background
Target Group Inc. (“Target Group” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 2, 2013, under our original name of River Run Acquisition Corporation. Effective May 13, 2014, the Company changed its name to Chess Supersite Corporation. On July 3, 2018, we filed an amendment in our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Target Group Inc.
Effective October 18, 2018, our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTCQB platform operated by OTC Markets Group Inc, under the symbol “CBDY”.
The global spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) continued to have a significant impact on the Canadian and global economy and customer purchasing behavior, while equity markets remained volatile. However, these factors have not impacted the Company’s operations, financial results for the year.
Cannabis Business-Canada
We are now engaged in the cultivation, processing and distribution of curated cannabis products for the adult-use medical and recreational cannabis market in Canada and, where legalized by state legislation, in the United States. We believe that there is a shift in the public’s perception of cannabis from a state of prohibition to a state of legalization. In October 2018, Canada became the first major industrialized nation to legalize adult-use cannabis at the national federal level. Cannabis is still heavily regulated. However, the medical use of cannabis is now permitted in up to 29 countries and many more countries have reformed, or are considering reforming, their cannabis uses laws to include the recreational use of cannabis.
In the 2016 publication by Deloitte, Insights and Opportunities Recreational Marijuana, the project size of the Canadian adult-use market ranged from CDN$4.9 billion to CDN$8.7 billion annually. In the 2018 publication by Deloitte, A Society in Transition, an Industry Ready to Boom, the projected size of the Canadian adult-use market in 2019 ranged from CDN$1.8 billion to CDN$4.3 billion. The Canadian medical cannabis industry experienced substantial growth since 2014. Health Canada projects the Canadian cannabis market will reach CDN$1.3 billion in annual value by 2024.
We intend to position ourselves with a core emphasis on wholesale & co-packaging services to accommodate all consumer-packaged goods required for the sophisticated cannabis market in Canada and internationally. This will integrate cannabinoid research, analytical testing, product development and manufacturing.
Our product manufacturing will include, but will not be limited to the following:
As of the date of this report, the Company (i.e., Target Group Inc. and its subsidiaries) does not have any operations, employees or corporate offices based in United States.
Acquisitions
To take advantage of the opportunity resulting from the legalization of adult-use cannabis in Canada, we completed several strategic acquisitions and entered into several significant agreements as follows:
4
Visava Inc./Canary Rx Inc.
On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Visava Inc., a private Ontario, Canada corporation (“Visava”).

Canary is a Canadian Licensed Producer under Health Canada’s Cannabis Act (“Bill C-45”). Canary expects to grow up to 4 million grams of cannabis annually out of its Simcoe facility once it is at full capacity. The Company is now growing premium cannabis in indoor grow rooms and each 2,200 square feet room gets up to 5.4 turns annually.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to the Visava shareholders an aggregate of 25,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock held by the Visava shareholders.

The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement closed effective August 2, 2018. Visava will continue its business operations as a first-tier wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with Canary operating as our second-tier subsidiary. During the year ended, December 31, 2020, all of the warrants expired, none were exercised.
CannaKorp Inc.
Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange dated January 25, 2019 (“Exchange Agreement”), on March 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Massachusetts –based CannaKorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CannaKorp”). CannaKorp has developed a single-use pre-measured pod and vaporizer system for consumers interested in vaporizing natural herbs, including cannabis. The patent-pending system is known as The Wisp™ and Wisp Pods™. The Wisp™ vaporizer system extracts the medically beneficial compounds more efficiently while simultaneously offering a much safer and more enjoyable experience than other alternatives.

CL Investors Debt Purchase and Assignment Agreement
On June 15, 2020, the Company, its first-tier subsidiaries Visava Inc. (“Visava”) CannaKorp Inc. (“CannaKorp”), and the Company’s second-tier subsidiary, Canary Rx Inc. (“Canary”), entered into a Debt Purchase and Assignment Agreement (“Agreement”) with CL Investors Inc. (“CLI”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. June 15th was the preliminary date of the agreement, and the agreement was not finalized until the later date as indicated below.
The CEO (and also a director) of the Company is the secretary and a shareholder of CLI plus the CEO’s brother is the President and sole director of CLI therefore the loan from CLI is classified under related party transactions.
CLI purchased from the Company for the sum of $2,141,070, (CAD 2,900,000) a debt obligation owing from Canary to the Company in the principal balance of $7,825,980 (CAD 10,600,000 (“Canary Debt”)). Upon receipt of the consideration, the Company loaned the full sum to Canary under terms of an unsecured, non-interest-bearing promissory note, subject to a covenant by the Company not to take any collection action so long as the Canary Debt remains unpaid to CLI. As of December 31, 2022, $3,692 (CAD 5,000) is still outstanding from CLI which is presented as other receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.
As a condition of the closing of the Agreement, the terms of the Canary Debt were amended to provide for interest at 5% per annum with a maturity date of 60 months from the date of the Agreement (“Term”). The Canary Debt will be repaid according to the following schedule:
8
For the purposes of this Note, “Net Revenue” will mean any and all revenue generated from Canary’s Licensed Facility (hereinafter defined) to which it is entitled net of applicable taxes and third-party expenses.
The repayment of the Canary Debt, as amended, is guaranteed by Visava and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary CannaKorp Inc. and secured by (i) a general security interest in the assets of the Company, Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc., respectively; and (ii) a pledge by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc. held by the Company. In addition to the foregoing guarantees, security interest and stock pledge, CLI has been granted an option, in lieu of repayment of the amended Canary Debt, to demand, in its sole and absolute discretion the transfer, assignment and conveyance of 75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary.
Furthermore, the President and sole director of CLI has been granted an option to acquire the remaining 25% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary.
Effective August 14, 2020, the Agreement was amended (“Amendment”) to provide that CLI will purchase from Rubin Schindermann, a director of the Company, 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in consideration of the payment by CLI to Rubin Schindermann of $78,880 (CAD 100,000) and the issuance to Schindermann of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In consideration of the foregoing, Mr., Schindermann resigned as a director of the Company and from any and all administrative and executive positions with the Company’s subsidiaries Visava Inc., Canary Rx Inc. and CannaKorp Inc., respectively. In addition, the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrant for 10,000,000 shares of Target common stock to CLI as consideration for the Agreement. Refer to Note 17 for additional details on warrants. The combined impact of both transactions resulted in debt issuance cost of $251,518. This debt issuance cost will be amortized over the term of the debt on a straight-line basis.
The transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Amendment closed on August 14, 2020.
Item 1A Risk Factors.
In addition to all other information set out in this Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report, our business is subject to a number of risks that are uniquely applicable to the cannabis business generally and specifically in the cannabis business in Canada. Other risks and uncertainties that we do not presently consider material, or of which we are not presently aware, may become important factors that affect our future financial condition and results of operations. Some of these risks include but are not limited to the developing situation globally surrounding COVID-19 and its impacts on the overall global economy. If any of the risks discussed below actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially affected.
Risks Related to Our Cannabis Business and the Cannabis Industry in the United States
Our proposed business is dependent on laws pertaining to the marijuana industry
Continued development of the marijuana industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization and/or voter-approved referenda at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or halt progress in this area. In addition, progress for the industry, while encouraging, is not assured. While there may be ample public support for legislative action, numerous factors impact the legislative process, any one of which could slow or halt the use of marijuana, which could negatively impact our business.
9
Cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law.
The possession and use of marijuana are illegal under U.S. federal and certain states’ laws, which may negatively impact our business. The use of marijuana is regulated by both the U.S. federal government and state governments and state and U.S. federal laws regarding marijuana are often in conflict. Federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana pre-empts state laws that legalize the possession and use of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes. Any such changes in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could adversely affect our ability to possess or cultivate marijuana. Marijuana is a Schedule 1 controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act (“CSA”) meaning that it has a high potential for abuse, has not currently “accepted medical use” in the United States, lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and may not be prescribed, marketed or sold in the United States. No drug product containing natural cannabis or naturally-derived cannabis extracts have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the U.S. or obtained registration from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) for commercial production and the DEA may never issue the registrations required of the commercialization of such products. We will continue to assess potential strategic acquisitions of existing or new businesses in the cannabis industry, should we determine that such activities are in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. Any such pursuit would involve additional risks with respect to the regulation of cannabis, particularly, if the federal government determines to actively enforce all federal laws applicable to cannabis.
Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our business.
Local, state and federal marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which require us to incur potentially substantial costs associated with compliance and could alter our business plans. In addition, violations of these laws or allegations of such violations could disrupt our business and materially affect our operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business. We cannot predict the nature of any such future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.
Any potential growth in the cannabis industry continues to be subject to new and changing state and local laws and regulations.
Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent upon continued legalization of cannabis at the state level and a number of factors could curtail or halt progress in this area, even where there is public support for legislative action. Any delay or halt in the passing or implementation of legislation legalizing cannabis use, its sale and distribution, or the re-criminalization or restrictions on cannabis use at the state level could negatively impact our business. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws and regulations or their interpretations or applications. It is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be materially adverse to our business.
Our potential customers, clients and companies with which we may elect to invest directly may have difficulty accessing the services of U.S. banks which may make it difficult for them to operate.
On February 14, 2014, the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCen”) issued rules allowing banks to legally provide financial services to state-licensed cannabis businesses consistent with the Bank Secrecy Act obligations. A memorandum issued by the U.S. Justice Department to federal prosecutors reiterated the guidance previously given, this time to the financial industry that banks can do business with legal marijuana businesses and “may not” be prosecuted. However, the FinCen guidelines fall short of the explicit legal authorization that the banking industry had requested the government provide. To date, it is not clear if any banks have relied on the FinCen guidelines to take on legal cannabis companies as clients. Because the use, sale and distribution of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law, many banks will not accept deposits from or provide other bank services to a business involved with cannabis. The inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for our existing and potential customers to operate.
Operational risks of the cannabis industry.
Companies involved in the cannabis industry face intense competition, may have limited access to services of banks, may have substantial burdens on company resources due to litigation, complaints or enforcement actions and are heavily dependent on receiving necessary permits and authorization to engage in the cultivation, possession or distribution of cannabis. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operational histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger client bases than us and there can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully compete against these or other companies.

Risks Related to Our Cannabis Business and the Cannabis Industry in Canada
The effects of the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada are unknown at this time.
The Government of Canada approved the Cannabis Act (Bill C-45) which went into effect on October 17, 2018. The Cannabis Act allows for regulated and restricted access to cannabis for recreational adult use in Canada. Under the Cannabis Act, there are significant restrictions on the marketing, branding, product formats and distribution channels allowed under the law. Additional restrictions may be imposed at the provincial level. Any failure by us to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements at the federal and provincial level could require changes to our proposed operations; result in regulatory or agency proceedings or investigations, increase compliance costs, fines, penalties or restrictions on our operations or revocation of our licenses and other permits.
The recreational adult-use cannabis market in Canada may become oversupplied following the implementation of the Cannabis Act.
As a result, in the surge of demand for cannabis as a result of the implementation of the Cannabis Act, we and other cannabis producers in Canada may produce more cannabis that is needed to satisfy the market and we may not be able to export that oversupply into other markets where cannabis use is fully legal under all federal, state and provincial laws thus the available supply of cannabis could exceed demand, resulting in a decline in the market price for cannabis. If this were to occur, there is no assurance that we would be able to generate sufficient revenue to result in profitability.
We are required to comply with federal, state or provincial and local laws in each jurisdiction where we conduct our business
Various federal, state or provincial and local laws and regulations govern our business in the jurisdictions in which we operate and propose to operate. These laws and regulations include those relating to health and safety and the production, management, transportation and storage of cannabis. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires concurrent compliance with complex federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires significant financial and managerial resources. A determination that we are not in compliance with these laws and regulations could harm our business. It is impossible to predict the cost or effect of such laws and regulations on our current and future business.
We may seek to enter into strategic alliances or acquisitions with third parties that we believe will have a beneficial impact on our business and there are risks that such alliances or acquisitions will not enhance our business in the desired manner.
We may expand, or in the future enter into, alliances or acquisitions with third parties that we believe will complement or enhance our existing business. Our ability to take advantage of existing or new alliances or acquisitions is dependent upon a number of factors such as the availability of suitable candidates and working capital. Future strategic alliances or acquisitions could result in the incurrence of debt, costs and contingent liabilities. In addition, there can be no assurances that future alliances or acquisitions will achieve the expected benefits to our business or that we will be able to consummate future strategic alliances or acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or at all.
We may not be able to identify and execute future acquisitions or to successfully manage the impact of such transactions on our business.
Acquisitions and/or other strategic business combinations involve many risks including (i) disruption of our existing business; (ii) the distraction of management away from the ongoing oversight of our existing business operations; (iii) incurring additional indebtedness; and (iv) increasing the scope and complexity of our operations. A strategic transaction may result in unforeseen obstacles or costs in implementing the transaction or integrating any acquired business into our existing operations.
Our cannabis cultivation business is subject to risks associated with an agricultural business.
One of the major aspects of our business operations is cultivating cannabis which is an agricultural process. As such, that part of our business is subject to the risks associated with the agricultural business, including crop failure presented by weather, plant diseases, and similar agricultural risks. Although we will grow our cannabis products indoors under climate-controlled conditions, there can be no assurances that natural elements, such as insects and plant diseases, will not disrupt our production activities or have an adverse effect on our business.
11
We may not be able to attract or retain key personnel with sufficient experience in the cannabis industry and we may not be able to attract, develop and retain additional employees required for our development and future success.
Our success is dependent to a great extent on the performance of our management team and certain key employees and our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees who are in high demand. The loss of the services of any key personnel, or an inability to attract other suitably qualified persons when needed, could prevent us from executing our business plan and we may not be able to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, if at all. Currently, we do not maintain any key-person insurance on the lives of any of our key personnel. Furthermore, each director and officer of a company that holds a license is subject to the requirement to obtain and maintain a security clearance from Canada Health under the Cannabis Act. A security clearance is valid for not more than five years and must be renewed before the expiration of the current security clearance. There is no assurance that any of our existing personnel who presently or may in the future require a security clearance will be able to obtain or renew such clearance or that new personnel who require a security clearance be able to obtain one. A failure by an individual in a key operational position to maintain or renew a security clearance could result in a reduction or complete suspension of our operations.
Employees
As of December 31, 2022, we had 56 employees which include Anthony Zarcone, Chief Executive Officer.
We have contracted several independent contractors and consultants to provide a range of information technology and marketing services who do not receive cash compensation but receive shares of our common stock as compensation. This mitigates any need for full or part-time employees for these services.
Intellectual Property Protection
Our subsidiary CannaKorp Inc. holds the following patents:
International Patent Application No. PCT/US20115/013778
Title: METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING HERBAL VAPO

At present, CannaKorp has failed to meet its annuity payments as well as maintenance fees on the 2 referenced patents. Although there has been a lapse and these patents remain unmaintained, there remains the possibility of CannaKorp reinstating these patents if done so in a reasonable amount of time. At this time, management is determining the value maintaining these patents will provide the company. Once management has completed their assessment, the company will proceed accordingly to advance in that determined direction moving forward. Additionally, CannaKorp is actively seeking a JV Partner joint venture partner and/ or a licensor to assist in both marketing and launching the Wisp Vaporizer and Wisp Pods in both the US and Canadian Legal Cannabis/ HEMP markets.
Corporate Facilities
Our principal executive office is located at 20 Hempstead Drive, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Item 2. Properties
We do not own any properties at this time and do not have presently any agreements to acquire any properties.

Our principal executive office is located at 20 Hempstead Drive, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Our subsidiary, Canary, leases a 44,000 square foot facility located in Norfolk County, Ontario to produce medical and recreational cannabis.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
During the year ended December 31, 2019, a terminated employee of Canary has filed a lawsuit against the Company amounting to approximately $1,550,430 (CAD 2,100,000) in Ontario, Canada. Currently, the Company is defending its position and believes that the ultimate decision will be in favor of the Company.
A complaint for damages of $150,000 was lodged against CannaKorp by the former Chief Financial Officer of CannaKorp for outstanding professional fees. No claim has been registered. The management is of the view that no material losses will arise in respect of the legal claim at the date of these consolidated financial statements.
A claim for damages of $1,375,309 (CAD 1,862,805) was lodged against Company and its directors by the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company for wrongful dismissal. The management is of the view that no material losses will arise in respect of the legal claim at the date of these consolidated financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, a claim for damages of $96,553 (CAD 130,778) was lodged against Canary by a vendor for breach of contract. The management is of the view that no material losses will arise in respect of the legal claim at the date of these consolidated financial statements.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB inter-dealer quotation service maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “CBDY.” The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices of our common stock for the last two fiscal years. Such prices are inter-dealer quotations without retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.
Our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, known as the Penny Stock Rule, which imposes requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system. The Penny Stock Rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with the current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. These disclosure requirements have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result of these rules, investors may find it difficult to sell their shares.
As of the date of this report, we have 617,025,999 shares of common stock issued and outstanding held by 430 stockholders of record.
Dividend Policy
To date, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. It is anticipated that our future earnings will be retained to finance our continuing development. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors has the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and any other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not generated significant revenues and had no income or cash flows from operations since inception. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,358,008 and an accumulated deficit of $30,783,678.
The Company’s independent auditors have issued a report raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
At present, the Company is running its operations at its Simcoe Facility cultivating Premium Cannabis and started generating revenue (though its investment in JVCo) within the Canadian wholesale cannabis market. However, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon these operations successfully generating cashflow for the Company, financial support from its stockholders, its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and/or to successfully locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of the target company with the Company.
Balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021
Cash and restricted cash
On December 31, 2022, we had cash of $223,843 (excluding restricted cash of $8,490) compared to $113,079 (excluding restricted cash of $9,072) as of December 31, 2021. The increase is due to increased cash being provided by investment in the joint venture which reflects net recovery of payments of salaries, rent, and other operating expenses of our subsidiary, Canary, and additional loan provided by a related party offset by payments of a loan to a different related party.
The change in restricted cash is due to foreign exchange conversion of balances in Canadian Dollar into United States Dollar.
Prepaid asset
As of December 31, 2022, we had prepaid expenses of $41,714 compared to $44,567 as of December 31, 2021. The balance represents the security deposit for the leased land for the facility to produce Medical Marijuana.
Sales tax recoverable and payable
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $nil of gross sales tax recoverable compared to $22,146 as of December 31, 2021 while the Company had $35,254 of gross sales tax payable as of December 31, 2022.
Recoverable is due to the sales tax paid by the Company on expenses incurred during the year which are recoverable from the government while payable is due to the sales tax received (after deducting sales tax paid on expenses incurred by the Company) during the year which are payable from the government due to sales conducted by the Joint Venture.
Sales tax recoverable allowance on December 31, 2022 is $nil (December 31, 2021: $509).
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets of our subsidiaries at the date of acquisition.
15
Fixed assets
The Company had initiated construction on its leased 44,000 square foot cannabis cultivation facility in September of 2017. On May 1, 2019, the Company completed the construction of its 44,000 square foot cannabis cultivation facility and on May 14, 2019, the Company had submitted a Site Evidence Package to Health Canada as part of the steps to obtain the license to cultivate cannabis at the Company’s facility. On October 8, 2019, the Company was granted licenses to cultivate, process and sell cannabis pursuant to the Cannabis Act (Bill C-45). On June 4, 2021, Canary received its Sales License amendment from Health Canada.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Accounts payable amounting to $2,296,935 as of December 31, 2022, primarily represents consulting and construction services related to fixed asset additions amounting to $154,811, interest on promissory notes and loans amounting to $739,130, outstanding and accrued professional fees amounting to $906,596.
Accounts payable amounting to $2,885,909 as of December 31, 2021, primarily represents customer advance for sales amounting to $394,400, consulting and construction services related to fixed asset additions amounting to $163,101, interest on promissory notes and loans amounting to $952,376, outstanding and accrued professional fees amounting to $973,017.
Payable to related parties
As of December 31, 2022, we had $10,346,465 of the amount payable to related parties as compared to $10,658,800 as of December 31, 2021. The balance primarily represents loans provided by the Company’s shareholders and a related party, CLI, management services fee outstanding to the managers of the company, and outstanding amount of $65,000 to be paid to a former shareholder of CannaKorp as part of the settlement agreement.
For additional detail, refer to Note 14 in consolidated financial statements.
Convertible promissory notes payable
Interest amounting to $37 was accrued for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2021: $109).
The principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $480. At both reporting dates, the entire balance was current.
All notes maturing prior to the date of this report are outstanding.
Income statement for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
The Company did not generate revenue during the current or the comparable year ended in 2021. However, Canary generated revenues of $3,916,539 (though its investment in JVCo) during the current year ended (2021: $2,198,592) and is represented as a share of income from joint venture on the audited consolidated statement of operations. The revenue represents the sale of cannabis product, and the entire revenue was sold to thirteen customers (2021: ten).
Expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
Our expenses are classified primarily into advisory and consultancy fees, management fees, salaries and wages, legal and professional fees, and depreciation expense. The decrease in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 2021 is due to decrease in consulting expenses, management fees and depreciation and amortization expense.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily represented consulting fees of $18,926 (2021: $21,702), management fees of $143,677 (2021: $149,819), legal and professional charges of $243,670 (2021: $232,151) comprising legal, review, accounting and Edgar agent fee, depreciation expense amounting to $885,229 (2021: $971,524).
16
Changes in other income and expenses were due to: (1) the revaluation of the warrant and convertible debt liabilities on each quarter-end which reduced significantly in magnitude since a significant number of warrants expired during the current year ended; (2) increase in the principal balance of higher interest rate bearing loans led to increased interest expense; (3) started to earning net income from the joint venture, as a result, the share of income has increased significantly; (4) the recovery of interest expense charged on shareholder loan from JVCo operations caused a significant increase in other income; (5) impairment of goodwill related to Canary’s acquisition and (6) significant increase in exchange income during the year due to favorable exchange rate.
Other income and expenses comprised, change in fair value of derivative and warranty liability amounting to positive $14,383 (2021: positive $2,930,894), (gain) loss on settlement of debt amounting to $nil (2021: $(26,049)), interest and bank charges amounting to $1,121,595 (2021: $985,634), exchange income of $126,314 (2021: loss of $73,163) other income of $811,464 (2021: 30,769), impairment of inventory in the amount of $99,000 (2021: $nil), impairment of goodwill in the amount of $3,315,749 (2021: $nil) and share of income from joint venture of $354,736 (2021: loss of $272,995).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,358,008 and an accumulated deficit of $30,783,678 (2021: Working capital deficit of $3,459,035 and an accumulated deficit of $26,263,614). The Company is actively seeking various financing operations to meet the working capital requirements.
We have relied on equity financing and personal funds for our operations. The proceeds may not be sufficient to effectively develop our business to the fullest extent to allow us to maximize our revenue potential, in which case, we will need additional capital.
We will need capital to allow us to invest in development. The Company anticipates that its future operations will generate positive cash flows starting in 2022 provided that it is successful in obtaining additional financing in the foreseeable future.
Statement of Cash Flow – For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:
Operating activities
Operating activities used cash of $1,014,828 compared to the provided cash of $100,118 during the prior year. This is primarily due to the payments of a number of outstanding balances in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Investing activities
Investing activities provided cash of $1,015,040 compared to usage of $1,405,966 during the prior year. The current period cash generation represents the recovery of investment and increased revenue generated by the JVCo offset by improvements to Canary’s facility to increase its efficiency and increase cannabis production, and investment made in the JVCo by way of paying operating expenses such as salaries, rent, utilities, etc., which will be reimbursed by the JVCo in the future. The switch from using cash to providing cash is due to the JVCo starting to generate sales leading to reduced funding towards JVCo.
Financing activities
Financing activities provided cash of $122,674 compared to $1,251,489 for the corresponding period of the prior year. During the current period, cash was provided by a loan advance from a related party offset by payment to another related party while in the prior period, cash was primarily provided by proceeds from private placements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Target Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Target Group, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficit, and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, net losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
F-2
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Goodwill
Description of the Critical Audit Matter
As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. During the year ended December 31, 2022, an Impairment loss was recorded in the amount equal to the excess amount over goodwill carrying value.
Auditing management's goodwill impairment test was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of the goodwill and underlying business unit. In particular, the fair value estimate was sensitive to significant assumptions, such as the Company’s financial forecast, discount rate, and operating costs, which are impacted by expectations about future market and economic conditions.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s goodwill and underlying business unit, we performed audit procedures that included, among other things, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. In addition, we assessed the current financial forecast in light of management’s current plans, and we assessed the historical basis of management’s estimates based on its current operating results that would result from changes in the assumptions.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

| d) | In the fourth year of the Term, Canary will pay CLI the greater of $2,273,964 (CAD 3,080,000) and fifty percent (50%) of the Net Revenue, by way of twelve (12) consecutive monthly installments payable on the 14th day of each month commencing on August 14, 2023, provided that where the latter amount exceeds the former amount, Canary will, within thirty (30) days following the end of such fourth year, pay CLI the balance of such amount owing for such fourth year; and |

For the purposes of this Note, “Net Revenue” will mean any and all revenue generated from Canary’s Licensed Facility (hereinafter defined) to which it is entitled to net of applicable taxes and third-party expenses.
The repayment of the Canary Debt, as amended, is guaranteed by Visava and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary CannaKorp Inc. and secured by (i) a general security interest in the assets of the Company, Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc., respectively; and (ii) a pledge by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc. held by the Company. In addition to the foregoing guarantees, security interest and stock pledge, CLI has been granted an option, in lieu of repayment of the amended Canary Debt, to demand, in its sole and absolute discretion the transfer, assignment and conveyance of 75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary.

In addition, the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrant for 10,000,000 shares of Target common stock to CLI as consideration for the Agreement. Refer to Note 17 for additional details on warrants. The combined impact of both transactions resulted in debt issuance cost of $251,518. This debt issuance cost will be amortized over the term of the debt on a straight-line basis.
The transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Amendment closed on August 14, 2020.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Visava Inc. and CannaKorp, Inc. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
F-10
3. GOING CONCERN
The Company has earned minimal revenue since inception to date and has sustained operating losses during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company had a working capital deficit of $6,358,008 and an accumulated deficit of $30,783,678 as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its members or other sources, as may be required.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to maintain its current level of operations, the Company will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations, sale of its equity or issuance of debt. However, the Company currently has no commitments from any third parties for the purchase of its equity. If the Company is unable to acquire additional working capital, it will be required to significantly reduce its current level of operations.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Restricted cash represents deposits made to the Company’s bank as a requirement to use the bank’s credit card which is not available for immediate or general business use.
ACCOUNT RECEIVABLE
Account receivable consists of amounts due to the Company from customers as a result of the Company's normal business activities. Account receivable is reported on the balance sheets net of an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated uncollectible receivables based on historical experience, assessment of specific risk, review of outstanding invoices, and various assumptions and estimates that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and recognizes the provision as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance after appropriate collection efforts have been exhausted and when it is deemed that a balance is uncollectible. As of December 31, 2022, the Company expects to collect these balances completely and therefore has not created any allowance for it.
INVENTORY
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined on a weighted average cost basis, and market being determined as the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company records write-downs of inventory that is obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or market value based on consideration of product lifecycle stage, technology trends, product development plans and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand, and such differences may have a material effect on recorded inventory values. Inventory write-downs are charged to the cost of revenue and establish a new cost basis for the inventory. The cost is determined on the basis of the average cost or first-in, first-out methods.
F-11
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, commencing when the assets become available for productive use, based on the following estimated useful lives:
Depreciation is calculated using the following terms and methods:
Furniture & office equipment |
| Straight-line |
| 7 years |
Machinery & equipment |
| Straight-line |
| 3-5 years |
Software |
| Straight-line |
| 3 years |
Leasehold improvements |
| Straight-line |
| Lease period |
An item of equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from the derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period the asset is derecognized. The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each reporting date, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not being amortized, such as trade names, are tested at least annually for impairment and are written down if impaired. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be fully recoverable.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the infinite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such a review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method after electing to delay the adoption of the accounting standard as the Company qualified as an "emerging growth company". Since the Company did not have any contracts as of the effective day, therefore, there was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption of the new standard. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. Our performance obligation generally consists of the promise to sell our finished products to our customers, wholesalers, distributors or retailers. Control of the finished products is transferred upon shipment to, or receipt at, our customers' locations, as determined by the specific terms of the contract. Once control is transferred to the customer, we have completed our performance obligation, and revenue is recognized.
The Company did not generate any revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021.
In addition, Canary generated revenue of $3,916,539 (though its investment in JVCo) during the year ended December 31, 2022 (2021: $2,198,592) and is represented as a share of income (losses) from joint venture on the consolidated statement of operations. The revenue was concentrated to thirteen customers (2021: ten). The revenue represents the sale of cannabis products. Since the customers have received the product and there are no further obligations as per the agreement, revenue was recognized. Refer to Note 11 for additional details.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian-based subsidiary is the Canadian dollar, and the US-based parent is the U.S. dollar. In addition, effective April 1, 2019, the Company changed its functional currency from United States Dollar to Canadian Dollar thereby having an impact on additional paid-in capital and accumulated comprehensive income (loss). The presentation currency of the Company
F-12
has remained unchanged at United States Dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All exchange gains or losses arising from the translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) for the year. In translating the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Canadian subsidiaries from their functional currency into the Company’s reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high-quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
INCOME TAXES
Under ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2022 there were no deferred taxes due to the uncertainty of the realization of net operating loss or carry forward prior to expiration.
OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases office space and the production facility under operating lease agreements. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share provides for calculations of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflect the potential dilution of securities 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 income (loss) of the Company. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, basic and diluted EPS are the same due to net loss result.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, diluted EPS excludes the change due in fair value of derivative value and gain on settlement of debt which is causing the operating loss to turn into a net income, resulting in the basic and diluted EPS being the same for this period.
CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with ASU 2017-11, warrants with a down round feature are treated as equity, with no adjustment for changes in fair value at each reporting period. The Company accounted for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40. The Company accounts for convertible notes
F-13
deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.
MARKETING EXPENSES
Marketing, advertising and promotion expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on the appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset or asset group, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| ● | Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| ● | Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. |
F-14
The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The derivative liabilities of the promissory convertible notes are valued Level 3, refer to Note 16 for further details.
EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments when the Company has the ability to significantly influence, but not control, the operations or financial activities of the investee. As part of this evaluation, the Company considers the participating and protective rights in the venture as well as its legal form. The Company records the equity method investments at cost and subsequently adjust their carrying amount each period for the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee and other adjustments required by the equity method of accounting. Distributions received from the equity method investments are recorded as reductions in the carrying value of such investments and are classified on the consolidated statements of cash flows pursuant to the cumulative earnings approach. Under this approach, distributions received are considered returns on investment and are classified as cash inflows from operating activities unless the cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods that were determined to be returns of investment, exceed the cumulative equity in earnings recognized from the investment. When such an excess occurs, the current period distributions up to this excess are considered returns of investment and are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.
The Company monitors equity method investments for impairment and records reductions in their carrying values if the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when such impairment is deemed to be other than temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider our ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. Circumstances that indicate an impairment may have occurred include factors such as decreases in quoted market prices or declines in the operations of the investee. The evaluation of an investment for potential impairment requires us to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions. The Company has not recorded any impairment losses related to our equity method investments during the year ended December 31, 2022.
5. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB recently issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – 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, to reduce complexity in applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as derivatives. In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features requiring separate accounting from the host contract. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted (for “emerging growth company” beginning after December 15, 2023). The Company will be evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
6. INVENTORY
As of December 31, 2022, the inventory in the amount of $nil (2021: $99,000) consists of finished goods and is held at a third-party location.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a write-down of inventory to its net realizable value, in the amount of $99,000 due to decrease in inventory value and recorded an impairment in the amount of $99,000 due to obsolete inventory.
F-15
7. PREPAID ASSET
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had prepaid expenses of $41,714 compared to $44,567 as of December 31, 2021. The balance represents the security deposit for the leased land of the subsidiary’s facility. The change in is due to foreign exchange conversion of balances in Canadian Dollar into United States Dollar.
8. SALES TAX RECOVERABLE
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $nil of gross sales tax recoverable compared to $22,146 as of December 31, 2021 while the Company had $35,254 of gross sales tax payable as of December 31, 2022.
Recoverable is due to the sales tax paid by the Company on expenses incurred during the year which are recoverable from the government while payable is due to the sales tax received (after deducting sales tax paid on expenses incurred by the Company) during the year which are payable from the government due to sales conducted by the Joint Venture.
The Company has recorded $nil of allowance as of December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: $509).
9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective August 8, 2019, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement ("License Agreement") with cGreen, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("cGreen"). The License Agreement granted the Company an exclusive license to manufacture and distribute the patent-pending THC antidote True Focus(TM) in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean. The term of the license was ten () years and four (4) months from the effective date of August 8, 2019. In consideration of the license, the Company would issue 10,000,000 shares of its common stock as follows: (i) 3,500,000 within ten (10) days of the effective date; (ii) 3,500,000 shares on January 10, 2020; and (iii) 3,000,000 shares not later than June 10, 2020. In addition, the Company would pay cGreen royalties of 7% of the net sales of the licensed products and 7% of all sublicensing revenues collected by the Company. The Company would pay cGreen an advance royalty of $300,000 within ten (10) days of the effective date; $300,000 on January 10, 2020; and $400,000 on or before June 10, 2020, and $500,000 on or before November 10, 2020. All advance royalty payments would be credited against the royalties owed by the Company through December 31, 2020. During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the intangible asset was written off based on management’s review and evaluation of its recoverability.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company was in arbitration with cGreen for the breaches of the terms of the License Agreement, however, through an early mediation, both companies reached a settlement agreement to settle the breaches of the contract on July 27, 2020 (“Effective Date”). As per the settlement agreement, the License Agreement has been terminated and the Company does not have to issue the 10 million shares nor pay the outstanding royalty payable in the amount of $1,191,860. As consideration, the Company paid $130,000 within 30 days of the Effective Date and started paying $100,000 in monthly installments of $10,000 which commenced in April 2021 to cGreen. This resulted in a gain on settlement of $1,704,860.
As at December 31, 2022, there was no outstanding balance, the balance has been paid in full and the claim is closed during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: $10,000).
10. FIXED ASSETS
The Company’s subsidiary, Canary, initiated construction on its leased 44,000 square foot cannabis cultivation facility in September of 2017. Since then, extensive demolition and structural upgrades have been carried out at the site. On May 1, 2019, the Company completed the construction of its 44,000 square foot cannabis cultivation facility and on May 14, 2019, the Company submitted a Site Evidence Package to Health Canada as part of the steps to obtain the license to cultivate cannabis at the Company's facility.

12. GOODWILL
Business Acquisition
ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, such as trade names, but instead tested at least annually for impairment (which the Company tests each year end, absent any impairment indicators) and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.
CannaKorp Inc.
Effective January 25, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with CannaKorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CannaKorp”). The Company had previously entered into a Letter of Intent with CannaKorp dated November 30, 2018, which was disclosed in the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed December 4, 2018.
F-18
The Exchange Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, the Company issued to the CannaKorp shareholders an aggregate of 30,407,412 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on a price per share of $0.10, in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of CannaKorp held by the CannaKorp shareholders. In addition, the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”) in exchange for all outstanding and promised CannaKorp stock options. The Warrants granted the holders thereof the right to purchase up to approximately 7,211,213 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also assumed all outstanding liabilities of CannaKorp. Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, CannaKorp continued its business operations as a subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was closed effective March 1, 2019.
Due to the publicly traded nature of the Company’s shares of the common stock, the equity issuance of the shares was considered to be a more reliable measurement of the fair market value of the transaction compared to having a separate valuation of the net assets. This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. As of March 1, 2019, the fair value of the net liabilities was $2,534,121 and the purchase consideration was fair valued as $4,062,844, shown below, leading to a goodwill allocation of $6,071,627.
The purchase consideration of 30,407,412 shares and 7,211,213 warrants of the Company’s common stock are valued as detailed below:
The fair value of these warrants was measured at the date of acquisition using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:
| ● | Forfeiture rate of 0%; |
| ● | Stock price of $0.108 per share; |
| ● | Exercise price between the range of $0.13 to $0.15 per share |
| ● | Volatility at 635.49% |
| ● | Risk free interest rate of 2.55%; |
| ● | Expected life of 2 years; and |
| ● | Expected dividend rate of 0% |
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the goodwill was revaluated after the completion of CannaKorp’s audit of the year ended December 31, 2018. This resulted in changing the balance on the acquisition date, March 1, 2019, thereby increasing the goodwill by $369,315 to $6,071,627.
However, during the same year the Company identified circumstances that would call for an evaluation of goodwill impairment and therefore impaired $1,485,925 reducing the goodwill related to the CannaKorp to $4,585,702.
Further, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified circumstances that would call for an evaluation of goodwill impairment and therefore the remaining balance of goodwill related to the CannaKorp to $nil.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, all of the warrants expired, none were exercised.
F-19
Visava Inc./Canary Rx Inc.
On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Visava Inc., a private Ontario, Canada corporation (“Visava”). Visava owns 100% of Canary Rx Inc., a Canadian corporation that holds a leasehold interest in a parcel of property located in Ontario’s Garden Norfolk County for the production of cannabis.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Visava Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 25,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and issued to the Visava shareholders, pro rata Common Stock Purchase Warrants purchasing an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share of $0.10 for a period of two years following the issuance date of the Warrants. As a result of this transaction, Visava Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the former shareholders of Visava Inc. owned approximately 46.27% of the Company’s shares of Common Stock. The transaction was closed effective August 2, 2018. During the year ended, December 31, 2020, all of the warrants expired, none were exercised.
This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. As of August 2, 2018, the fair value of the net liabilities was $275,353 and the purchase consideration was fair valued as $3,318,842, shown below, leading to a goodwill allocation of $3,594,195.
The fair value of these warrants was measured at the date of acquisition using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:
| ● | Forfeiture rate of 0%; |
| ● | Stock price of $0.067 per share; |
| ● | Exercise price of $0.10 per share |
| ● | Volatility at 329% |
| ● | Risk free interest rate of 2.66%; |
| ● | Expected life of 2 years; and |
| ● | Expected dividend rate of 0% |
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified circumstances that would call for an evaluation of goodwill impairment and therefore impaired $3,315,749 reducing the goodwill related to the Canary to $263,117 (December 31, 2021: the Company has identified no circumstances which would call for further evaluation of goodwill impairment related to Canary).
During the year ended, December 31, 2022, all of the warrants expired, none were exercised.
F-20
Goodwill
The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. In assessing whether goodwill is impaired, the Company utilizes the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test compares the fair value of the reporting unit, determined based upon discounted estimated future cash flows, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required, and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to the statement of operations.
13. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Accounts payable amounting to $2,296,935 as of December 31, 2022, primarily represents consulting and construction services related to fixed asset additions amounting to $154,811, interest on promissory notes and loans amounting to $739,130, outstanding and accrued professional fees amounting to $906,596.

Debt purchase by CL Investors Inc.
On June 15, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries, entered into a Debt Purchase and Assignment Agreement (“Agreement”) with CL Investors Inc. (“CLI). June 15th was the preliminary date of the agreement, and the agreement was not finalized until the later date as indicated below.
The CEO of the Company is a director of the Company, the Secretary of CLI, a shareholder of CLI and the brother of the CEO is the President and sole director of CLI, therefore, the loan from CLI is classified under related party transactions.
Pursuant to the Agreement, CLI purchased from the Company for the sum of $2,141,070, (CAD 2,900,000) a debt obligation owing from Canary to the Company in the principal balance of $7,825,980 (CAD 10,600,000 (“Canary Debt”)). Upon receipt of the consideration, the Company loaned the full sum to Canary under terms of an unsecured, non-interest-bearing promissory note, subject to a covenant by the Company not to take any collection action so long as the Canary Debt remains unpaid to CLI. As of December 31, 2022, $3,692 (CAD 5,000) is still outstanding from CLI which is presented as other receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.
F-21
The Canary debt owed to CLI from Canary bears an interest rate of 5% per annum and matures on August 14, 2025. The repayment of the debt is guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries plus secured by a general security interest in the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc. held by the Company. In addition to the above, CLI has been granted an option, in lieu of repayment of the amended Canary Debt, to demand, in its sole and absolute discretion the transfer, assignment and conveyance of 75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary. Furthermore, the President and sole director of CLI has been granted an option to acquire the remaining 25% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary.

In addition, the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrant for 10,000,000 shares of Target common stock to CLI as consideration for the Agreement. Refer to Note 17 for additional details on warrants. The combined impact of both transactions resulted in debt issuance cost of $251,518. This debt issuance cost will be amortized over the term of the debt on a straight-line basis. As of December 31, 2022 the balance is $129,764 of which $49,539 is current while $80,225 is non-current.
Shareholder loan
One of the Company’s shareholders provided a loan to the Company. The loan is secured by all assets owned by the Company and its subsidiaries including leasehold improvements and matures on June 1, 2023, and therefore is presented as non-current.

15. OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITY
The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and applying the standard’s transition provisions at January 1, 2020, the effective date. The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude from balance sheet reporting those leases with initial terms of 12 months or less. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components is recognized when the obligation is probable.
Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As an implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Options for lease renewals have been excluded from the lease term (and lease liability) for the majority of the Company’s leases as the reasonably certain threshold is not met.
The Company does not own any real property. It currently leases two office/facility spaces. For accounting purposes, this lease is treated as an operating lease. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognized $1,667,238 (CAD $2,258,212) of right-to-use assets as operating leases and operating lease obligations. The right-to-use asset was reduced by $1,542,989 (CAD 2,089,921) due to recognition of the prior deferred rent liability which was eliminated upon adoption of ASC 842. Details of these leases are detailed below:
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company subleased its executive premises to a third party that makes rent payments directly to the landlord. However, if the sub-lessee cancels its sub-lease agreement with the landlord during the Company's lease term with the landlord (ending on August 30, 2023), the Company will be responsible for making rent payments for the period from the date of cancellation by the sub-lessee to August 30, 2023.
The Company’s subsidiary, Canary, is a party to a lease agreement (initiated in July 2014) with respect to its facility to produce Craft Cannabis at Scale. The lease agreement was amended effective January 1, 2020, where the amended 10-year term starts on May 1, 2020 and provides the Company with an option to extend for three (3) additional terms of ten (10) years. Additionally, effective January 1, 2020, the amended agreement increased the minimum rent to $25,841 (CAD 35,000) plus applicable taxes per month and on
F-23
each anniversary date, commencing from January 1, 2021, the minimum rent will increase by 1.00%. Furthermore, only the current term has been factored into the calculation of the lease liability. Effective May 1, 2020, due to the implementation of the new lease, $729,657 (CAD 988,293) was forgiven by the landlord and one vendor.
These leases will expire between 2023 and 2030. The weighted average discount rate used for these leases was 16% (average borrowing rate of the Company). Maturities of lease liabilities were:
Below is the reconciliation of the net operating lease presented on the consolidated statement of operations:
As explained in Note 11, the JVCo reimburses a certain percentage of gross expenses incurred by Canary which includes rent and utilities. Due to this unique circumstance and since operating lease expenses are related to rent expenses, the Company has decided to group the operating lease expenses, all lease related expenses and the recoverable amount from JVCo to show a net operating lease expense.

Covid-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak as a global health emergency. This resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus, including the closure of certain non-essential businesses.
During the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the pandemic did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not observe any material impairment of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has taken steps to minimize the potential impact of the pandemic including safety measures with respect to personal protective equipment, the reduction in travel and the implementation of a virtual office including regular video conference meetings and participation in virtual customer meetings and other virtual events.
Due to the rapid developments and uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, it is not possible to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business, balance sheet and operating results in the future. In addition, it is possible that estimates in the Company’s financial statements will change in the near term as a result of COVID-19 and the effect of any such changes could be material, which could result in, among other things, impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

Income taxes
The provision for income taxes is calculated at a US corporate tax rate of approximately 21% (2021: 21%) as follows:
| 2022 |
| 2021 | |
$ | $ | |||
Expected income tax (expense) recovery from net (income) loss | 949,213 | (57,305) | ||

Deferred tax assets
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31:
| 2022 |
| 2021 | |
$ | $ | |||
Tax effect of NOL Carryover | 5,020,076 | 4,067,763 | ||
Less valuation allowance | (5,020,076) | (4,067,763) | ||
— | — |
As of December 31, 2022, the Company performed a comprehensive analysis of its tax estimates and revised comparative figures accordingly, which had no net impact on deferred tax recorded. The Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $23,905,124 (2021: $19,370,301) that may be offset against future taxable income from the year by 2042. No tax benefit has been reported as of December 31, 2022, consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. The Company is taxed in the United States at the Federal level. All tax years since inception are open to examination because no tax returns have been filed.
20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Our officers, if any, are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board. All officers and directors listed above will remain in office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors.

Audit Committee
At the present time, we do not have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because of our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B is beyond its limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in its consolidated financial statements at this stage of its development. We have not formed a Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or any other Board Committee as of the filing of this Annual Report.

No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past five years.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
Director Independence
Of our current directors, only Frank Monte is considered an “independent director” because he is not an executive officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Barry Katzman is not considered independent because he is chairman of the Joint Venture (JVCo)’s board where Canary holds 50% of the voting equity interest in JVCo. Saul Niddam is not considered independent because he is the sole executive officer and director of CannaKorp. Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. In determining whether a director is “independent” the Company follows the criteria established by NASDAQ.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Effective December 20, 2019, Jerry Zarcone, the brother of Anthony Zarcone, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and a director of the Company, entered into a loan agreement with the Company pursuant to which Jerry Zarcone agreed to loan the Company up to $2,000,696 (CAD 2,536,380) for working capital purposes. The loan was provided in two tranches with one bearing an annual interest rate of 16% while the other bearing an annual interest rate of 43.26%. The loan is secured by all assets owned by the Company and its
24
subsidiaries including leasehold improvements and matures on June 1, 2023. Additional detail is provided in Note 14. The full text of the loan agreement is included in this report as Exhibit 10.20, 10.21, 10.22 and 10.23.
On June 15, 2020, the Company, and its subsidiaries, entered into a Debt Purchase and Assignment Agreement (“Agreement”) with CL Investors Inc. (“CLI). June 15th was the preliminary date of the agreement, and the agreement was not finalized until the later date as indicated below. The CEO of the Company is a director of the Company, the Secretary of CLI, a shareholder of CLI and the brother of the CEO is the President and sole director of CLI therefore the loan from CLI is classified under related party transactions.
Pursuant to the Agreement, CLI purchased from the Company for the sum of $2,141,070, (CAD 2,900,000) a debt obligation owing from Canary to the Company in the principal balance of $7,825,980 (CAD 10,600,000 (“Canary Debt”)). Upon receipt of the consideration, the Company loaned the full sum to Canary under terms of an unsecured, non-interest-bearing promissory note, subject to a covenant by the Company not to take any collection action so long as the Canary Debt remains unpaid to CLI.
The Canary debt owed to CLI from Canary bears an interest rate of 5% per annum and matures on August 14, 2025. The repayment of the debt is guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries plus secured by a general security interest in the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Canary, Visava and CannaKorp Inc. held by the Company. In addition to the above, CLI has been granted an option, in lieu of repayment of the amended Canary Debt, to demand, in its sole and absolute discretion the transfer, assignment and conveyance of 75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary. Furthermore, the President and sole director of CLI has been granted an option to acquire the remaining 25% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Visava and Canary.
Effective August 14, 2020, the Agreement was amended (“Amendment”) to provide that CLI will purchase from Rubin Schindermann, a director of the Company, 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in consideration of the payment by CLI to Rubin Schindermann of $73,830 (CAD 100,000) and the issuance to Mr. Schindermann of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In consideration of the foregoing, Mr., Schindermann resigned as a director of the Company and from any and all administrative and executive positions with the Company’s subsidiaries. In addition, the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrant for 10,000,000 shares of Target common stock to CLI as consideration for the Agreement. The full text of the loan agreement is included in this report as Exhibit 10.26 and 10.27.
