Overview and History
We were originally incorporated in the State of Colorado in August 1998 under
the name "Network Acquisitions, Inc." We changed our name to Cavion
Technologies, Inc. in February 1999 and subsequently to Concord Ventures, Inc.
in October 2006.
On December 21, 2000, we filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the filing, on February 16, 2001, we
sold our entire business, and all of our assets, for the benefit of our
creditors. After the sale, we still had liabilities of $8.4 million and were
subsequently dismissed by the Court from the Chapter 11 reorganization,
effective March 13, 2001, at which time the last of our remaining directors
resigned. On March 13, 2001, we had no business or other source of income, no
assets, no employees or directors, outstanding liabilities of approximately $8.4
million and had terminated our duty to file reports under securities law. In
February 2008, we were re-listed on the OTC Bulletin Board.
In April 2010, we re-domiciled in Delaware under the name CCVG, Inc. ("CCVG").
Effective December 31, 2010, CCVG completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization (the "Reorganization") which provided for the merger of two of
our wholly-owned subsidiaries. As a result of this reorganization, our name was
changed to "Golden Dragon Inc.", which became the surviving publicly quoted
parent holding company.
40
On May 9, 2014, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share Purchase
Agreement") with CannaPharmaRX, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Canna Colorado"),
and David Cutler, a former President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer and director of our Company. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, Canna
Colorado purchased 1,421,120 shares of our common stock from Mr. Cutler and an
additional 9,000,000 restricted common shares directly from us.
On May 15, 2014, as amended and effective January 29, 2015, we entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger") pursuant to which Canna Colorado
became a subsidiary of our Company. In October 2014, we changed our legal name
to "CannaPharmaRx, Inc."
Pursuant to the Merger, all of the shares of our Common Stock previously owned
by Canna Colorado were canceled. As a result of the aforesaid transactions, we
became an early-stage pharmaceutical company whose purpose was to advance
cannabinoid research and discovery using proprietary formulation and drug
delivery technology then under development.
In April 2016, we ceased operations. Our then management resigned their
respective positions with our Company, with the exception of Mr. Gary Herick,
who remained as one of our officers and directors until March 2019.
Effective December 31, 2018, the Company and Hanover CPMD Acquisition Corp.
("CPMD Hanover") a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement with Alternative Medical Solutions, Inc., an
Ontario, Canada corporation ("AMS"), its shareholders, wherein the Company
acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of AMS. AMS is a
corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. As a
result of the completion of the acquisition of AMS on December 31, 2019, the
Company no longer fits the definition of a "shell company," as defined in Rule
405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. It filed the
required disclosure on Form 8-K/A with the SEC on February 14, 2019, advising
that it was no longer a shell company pursuant to the aforesaid Rule.
On January 6, 2021, the Company executed an Agreement of Purchase and Sale
through its wholly owned subsidiary, Alternative Medical Solutions Inc for the
sale of the lands and premises located at Hanover, Ontario, Canada. The price
was $2,000,000 CAD and the closing of this transaction occurred on July 9, 2021.
As a result, and anticipation of the closing, the Company recorded an impairment
of goodwill and fixed assets relating to the property of $7,962,694 during the
year ended December 31, 2020. This property is security for a $1,000,000 US note
with Koze Investments, LLC by way of a first charge ranking. At closing, the
note was retired with the proceeds from the sale by repayment of the principal
of $1,000,000, accrued interest of $124,735, and penalties of $475,265. This
note was discharged on July 13, 2021.
Effective February 25, 2019, the Company acquired 3,936,500 shares and 2,500,000
Warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock of GN Ventures, Ltd,
Alberta, Canada, f/k/a Great Northern Cannabis, Ltd. ("GN"), in exchange for an
aggregate of 7,988,963 shares of its Common Stock, from a former shareholder of
GN who is now the Company's President and CEO. While no assurances can be
provided, the Company believes this is the initial step in its efforts to
acquire all or a significant portion of the issued and outstanding stock of GN.
In May 2020, the Company exchanged 5,507,400 of its shares for 3,671,597 shares
of GN.
GN owns a 60,000 square foot cannabis cultivation and grow facility located on
38 acres in Stevensville, Ontario, Canada. Because the Company is a minority
shareholder of GN and GN is a privately held company, the Company cannot confirm
that the information it currently has on GN's operations is complete or fully
reliable. GN estimates annual total production capacity from the Stevensville
facility of up to 12,500 kilograms of cannabis. GN believes the Stevensville
facility to be complete, and GN's subsidiary, 9869247 Canada Limited, received a
license to cultivate from the Canadian Ministry of Health on July 5, 2019. As a
result, in October 2019, GN commenced cultivation activities and began
generating revenues during the first calendar quarter of 2020. The Company
expects that it will obtain additional information on the business activities of
GN as it has renewed discussions to acquire additional interests and is
performing its due diligence procedures.
41
Effective June 11, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement with Sunniva, Inc, a British Columbia, Canada corporation ("Sunniva")
wherein the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding
securities of Sunniva's wholly-owned subsidiaries Sunniva Medical Inc. ("SMI")
and 1167025 B.C. LTD ("1167025") for CAD $16.0 million in cash and a note in the
principal amount of CAD $4.0 million. These companies are the current owners of
the Sunniva Canada Campus, which includes construction assets for a planned
759,000 square-foot greenhouse located on an approximately 114-acre property in
Okanagan Falls, British Columbia.
On June 8, 2020, the Company received a notice of termination of this Purchase
Agreement, as amended, from Sunniva. As a result, the Company incurred a charge
of $1,881,126 due to the write-off of its deposit to Sunniva, banking fees and
prepaid expenses associated with the failed acquisition of Sunniva. The Company
is in discussions with Sunniva, as well as an investment banker who received
deposits from the Company, about recovering all or a portion of its deposits,
banking fees, and prepaid expenses. The accompanying financial statements as of
December 31, 2021, do not reflect potential recovery amounts related to Sunniva
and other parties, if any.
On January 6, 2022, the Company entered into a 20 year operating lease with
Formosa Mountain Ltd., for a cannabis production facility in Cremona, Alberta,
Canada. The facility is a 55,000 square foot plant, built in 2015. The licencing
process is currently underway and production and sales are anticipated in Q3 of
2022.
Our principal place of business is located at 3600 888-3rd Street SW, Calgary,
Alberta, Canada, phone 949-652-6838. Our website address is
www.cannapharmarx.com.
Because we have not generated any revenues during our prior two years, the
following is our Plan of Operation.
PLAN OF OPERATION
See "Part 1, Item 1, Business," above for a detailed discussion of our current
business activities and plan of operation, the contents of which are
incorporated herein as if set forth.
Recent Funding
Between January 1, 2021 and December 30, 2021 the Company issued $584,333.33 new
convertible debentures to accredited investors with 12 month terms to maturity
and interest rates between 5% and 10%. As of December 31, 2021 $1,303,316 of
outstanding notes have been converted into Common Shares.
During the fourth quarter, the Company entered into $103,750 of new convertible
debentures to accredited investors with 12 month terms to maturity and an
interest rate of 10%. These debentures are convertible at any time up after 180
days at the lowest trading price during the previous 20 trading days. Prepayment
is authorized between 0 and 180 days at 115% to 135%.
For additional information, see Note 15 Subsequent Events included in Item 8. of
this Form 10-K.
Going Concern
Substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern based
on the fact that we do not have adequate working capital to finance our
day-to-day operations. The Company did not have any revenues for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company's operating deficit of $2,993,169 as of
December 31, 2021 indicates substantial uncertainty about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include engaging in further
research and development and raising additional capital in the short term to
fund such activities through sales of its common stock. Management's ability to
implement its plans and continue as a going concern may be dependent upon
raising additional capital. Our continued existence depends on the success of
our efforts to raise additional capital necessary to meet our obligations as
they come due and to obtain sufficient capital to execute our business plan. We
may obtain capital primarily through issuances of debt or equity or entering
into collaborative arrangements with corporate partners. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in completing additional financing or
collaboration transactions or, if financing is available, that it can be
obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the
additional financing on a timely basis, we may be required to further scale down
or perhaps even cease the operation of our business. The issuance of additional
equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity
interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming
those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash
commitments. Our financial statements do not include adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
42
Results of Operations
The Company does not currently sell or market any products and did not have any
sales in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020. The Company will
commence actively marketing products after the products have been cleared or
approved by Health Canada, but there can be no assurance, however, that we will
be successful in obtaining Health Canada clearance or approval for our products.
Costs of Goods Sold
The Company did not have sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 or
2020 and, accordingly, there were no cost of goods sold.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no gross
profit or gross margin.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist primarily of general and administrative expenses,
which include salaries, stock-based compensation expense and legal and
professional fees associated with the costs for services or employees in
finance, accounting, sales, administrative activities and the formation and
compliance of a public company.
Overall operating expenses in fiscal 2021 was 2,993,169 compared to fiscal 2020
of 14,486,172, lower by $11,493,003. General and Administrative expenses are
lower by $1,282,430 which included accrued expenses for management services
contracts currently in dispute. Acquisition expenses were lower by $1,508,604
due to the prior year write off of Sunniva expenses. Travel and entertainment
expenses were lower by $457,329 due to lower activity. Professional fees were
higher by $259,797 due to investment banking fees and legal fees.Consulting fees
were lower by $380,220 than the prior year due to reduced board fees. The prior
year also included $7,962,694 in impairment of goodwill due to the write down of
the hanover facility investment.
Other expense
Interest expense was $1,507,391 and $2,293,858 for the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in interest expense in fiscal 2021
compared to fiscal 2020 was attributable to a decrease in the average
outstanding balance of notes payable and the amortization of debt discounts.
Loss on extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2021 was
$1,452,629 compared to a gain during the prior year of $566,408. Other income
for the year ended December 31, 2021 from the settlement of the Koze note. A
loss on investments during the current year of $6,672,019 due to the write down
of the GN Ventures investment. Changes in the fair value of derivative liability
increased by $6,845,805 over the prior year.
Net Loss
Net loss decreased $11,057,773, or 56% , in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020,
primarily as a result of the decrease in operating expenses and interest
expense, partially offset by the fair value of derivative liability.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2021, we had $27,767 in cash as compared to $334,969 at
December 31, 2020.
Cash Flows
The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash and cash
equivalents:
Year Ended Year Ended
2021 2020
Net cash used in operating activities $ (2,414,656 ) $ (563,573 )

Cash flows from operating activities
The Company used $2,414,656 in operating activities during the year ended
December 31, 2021, as compared to $563,573 during the prior year. During the
current year, the Company had a net loss of $8,832,499, stock based compensation
expense of $363,050, loss on investment in GN Ventures of $6,672,019, common
stock issued in connection with advertising expense of $211,200 and financing
expense of $51,010, amortization of debt discount of $1,452,629, change in the
fair value of derivatives of $3,169,156, depreciation of $2,708, a decrease in
prepaid expenses of $132,039, and an increase to payables and accruals of
$553,026.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss of
$19,890,272, stock based compensation expense of $820,379, amortization of
intangible assets of $126,963, common stock issued in connection with
advertising expense of $701,650 and financing of $20,003, amortization of debt
discount of $2,293,858, change in the fair value of derivatives of $3,676,649,
depreciation expense of $1,542, impairment of goodwill on Hanover of $7,962,694,
decrease in prepaid expenses of $1,782,873, and an increase to accounts payable
and accruals of $1,940,087.
Cash flows from investing activities
During the year ended December 31, 2021, cash was provided to the Company,
$539,376 from the sale of the AMS land and building, offset by $6,263 from the
purchase of fixed assets, and a further $39,490 invested in Klonetics. There
were no funds generated from investing activities during the prior year.
Cash flows from financing activities
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company generated $1,340,459 from
financing activities, $535,000 from the sale of Preferred stock, $530,836 from
convertible loans, net of repayments, $238,560 from notes payable, net of
repayments, $291,064 from the sale of Common stock in private placements, offset
by $255,001 through the repayment of related party loans.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company generated $824,573, with
$848,000 of proceeds from convertible loans net of repayments, $11,973 from
proceeds of notes payable net of repayments, offset partially by $35,400 from
the repayment of related party loans.
Based on the foregoing, substantial doubt exists as to the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern based on the fact that the Company does not have
adequate working capital to finance its day-to-day operations. The Company did
not have any revenues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The
Company's accumulated deficit of $13,589,006 as of December 31, 2021 indicates
substantial uncertainty about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans include raising capital through the sale of common stock and
the issuance of convertible notes. Management's ability to implement its plans
and continue as a going concern is directly dependent upon raising additional
capital.
Currently, the Company has no committed source for any funds to allow the
Company to complete any of its proposed acquisitions or projects. No
representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the
event funds cannot be raised if and when needed, the Company may not be able to
carry out its business plan. The Company's inability to obtain funding for its
projects will have a material negative impact on its liquidity and results of
operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate
the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements.
The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be
reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results
could differ from these estimates made by management.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Management has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such
pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial
condition or the results of our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered
material to investors.
