- Litigation & Legal Liabilities - Risk 1The auditors' report for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The report of our auditors on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We had a net loss of $2,751,452 and $2,820,730 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue our operations as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which includes successfully integrating Mycotopia Therapies, Inc., which was acquired during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken will provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 23
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1There are substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern and if we are unable to continue our business, our shares may have little or no value.
Our ability to become a profitable operating company is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues and/or obtain financing adequate to implement our business plan. Achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure, our continued operating losses and our net cash used in operations has raised substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to attempt to raise additional equity capital by issuing shares and, if necessary through one or more private placement or public offerings, and via the securities purchase agreement/equity line financing. However, the doubts raised relating to our ability to continue as a going concern may make our shares an unattractive investment for potential investors. These factors, among others, may make it difficult to raise any additional capital.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Because our common stock is quoted and traded on the OTC Markets Group marketplace, short selling could increase the volatility of our stock price.
Short selling occurs when a person sells shares of stock which the person does not yet own and promises to buy stock in the future to cover the sale. The general objective of the person selling the shares short is to make a profit by buying the shares later, at a lower price, to cover the sale. Significant amounts of short selling, or the perception that a significant amount of short sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. In contrast, purchases to cover a short position may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the OTC Markets Group marketplace or any other available markets or exchanges. Such short selling if it were to occur could impact the value of our stock in an extreme and volatile manner to the detriment of our shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The trading volume of our common stock has been low, and the sale of a substantial number of shares in the public market could depress the price of our common stock.
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets Group marketplace and historically has had a low average daily trading volume relative to many other stocks. Thinly traded stocks can have more price volatility than stocks trading in an active public market, which can lead to significant price swings even when a relatively small number of shares are being traded and can limit an investor's ability to quickly sell blocks of stock. If there continues to be low average daily trading volume or price in our common stock investors may be unable to quickly liquidate their investments or at prices investors consider to be adequate.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Our common stock price has been volatile, and your investment could lose value.
The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations due to various factors. The timing of announcements in the public market regarding new products, product enhancements or technological advances by us or our competitors, and any announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, major transactions or management changes could also affect our stock price. Our stock price is subject to speculation in the press and the analyst community, changes in recommendations or earnings estimates by financial analysts, changes in investors' or analysts' valuation measures for our stock and market trends unrelated to our performance. A significant drop in our stock price could also expose us to the risk of securities class action lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business. Moreover, if the per share trading price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the public offering price. We cannot assure you that the per share trading price of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as "FINRA") has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Trading of our stock is restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission's penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our common stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. 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 in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which 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 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. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7We are controlled by our principal shareholder.
As of March 14, 2023, Ehave, Inc. owned approximately 65.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Our CEO, Ben Kaplan, is also the CEO of Ehave. We expect our principal shareholder to continue to use its interest in our common stock: to significantly influence the direction of our management, the election of our entire board of directors, and the method and timing of the payment of dividends; to determine substantially all other matters requiring shareholder approval; and to control us. The concentration of our beneficial ownership may have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control, may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over their market price, and may otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
