NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

 

Organization

 

Kaya Holdings, Inc. FKA (Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc.) is a holding company. The Company was incorporated in 1993 and has engaged in a number of businesses. Its name was changed on May 11, 2007 to NetSpace International Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) (“NetSpace”). NetSpace acquired 100% of Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc. (a Florida corporation) in January 2010 in a stock-for-member interest transaction and issued 6,567,247 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock to existing shareholders. Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed in October 2010 changing the Company’s name from NetSpace International Holdings, Inc. to Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc. (a Delaware corporation). Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed in March 2015 changing the Company’s name from Alternative Fuels Americas, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) to Kaya Holdings, Inc.

 

The Company has four subsidiaries: Marijuana Holdings Americas, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MJAI”), which is majority-owned and was formed on March 27, 2014 to maintain ownership of the Company’s Oregon based cannabis operations, 34225 Kowitz Road, LLC, a wholly-owned Oregon limited liability company which held ownership of the Company’s 26 acre property in Lebanon, Oregon (inactive since Feb 28, 2023 when the subject property was sold), Kaya Brand International, Inc., a Florida Corporation (“KBI”) which is majority-owned and was formed on October 14, 2019 to expand the business overseas (active) and Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc., a Florida corporation which is majority owned (“FDT ”) and was formed on December 13, 2022 to develop and maintain ownership of the Company’s planned Psychedelic Treatment Centers offering psilocybin treatments.

 

MJAI Oregon 1 LLC is the entity that holds the licenses for the Company’s retail store operations. MJAI Oregon 5 LLC is the entity that held the license application for the Company’s 26 acre farm property in Lebanon Oregon (property sold 2/28/23, inactive since that date).

 

KBI is the entity that holds controlling ownership interests in Kaya Farms Greece, S.A. (a Greek corporation) and Kaya Shalvah (“Kaya Farms Israel”, an Israeli corporation). These two entities were formed to facilitate expansion of the Company’s business in Greece and Israel respectively.

 

Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. (FDT) is the entity that was formed to hold interests in psychedelic treatment facilities, with operations initially targeted for Oregon where FDT holds a 49% stake in FDT Oregon 1, LLC (“FDT1”, an Oregon limited liability company) and has an irrevocable option to acquire the remaining 51% stake in FDT1 after the sunsetting in January 1, 2025 of Oregon’s residency requirements for majority ownership in entities that hold OHA issued Psilocybin Licenses.

 

Nature of the Business  

 

In January 2014, KAYS incorporated MJAI, a wholly owned subsidiary, to focus on opportunities in the legal recreational and medical marijuana in the United States.

 

On July 3, 2014 opened its first Kaya Shack™ MMD in Portland, Oregon.  Between April of 2014 and December 31, 2023, KAYS owned and operated four (4 ) Kaya Shack™ retail cannabis medical and recreational dispensaries, three (3) Medical Marijuana Grow sites licensed by the OHA and two (2) Recreational Marijuana grow sites licensed by the OLCC (all in Oregon). The statuses of these operations are as follows: 

 

The first Kaya Shack™ (Kaya Shack™ Store 1) opened in 2014 in Portland, Oregon at the same address as an Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) licensed medical and recreational marijuana retailer. On March 11, 2024, the Company notified the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (the “OLCC”) that we were temporarily closing this location. The Company is currently evaluating redeploying this remaining dispensary license to serve as a delivery hub for Portland residents, tourists and The Sacred Mushroom™ guests, among others.

  

Kaya Shack™ Store 2 was closed in December, 2022 as part of a sale and surrender agreement that the Company entered into with the OLCC to resolve an Administrative Action filed by the OLCC (as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2021 filed on April 18, 2022 and in the Company’s Quarterly report for the period ending March 31, 2022 filed on May 16, 2022). Per the terms of the agreement the Company agreed to either enter into a purchase and sale agreement for its retail license in South Salem by February 1, 2023 (the renewal date) or surrender the license. On April 21, 2023 the Company concluded the sale of Store 2 for $210,000, less a 6% closing commission and minor closing expenses. After these expenses and paying $75,000 to resolve three non-performing store leases in South Oregon, the Company netted $118,900.

 

 

 

Kaya Shack™ Store 3 and Kaya Shack™ Store 4 were both closed due to consolidation moves by the Company in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and the Company let the licenses lapse. 

 

In August of 2017, the Company purchased a 26-acre parcel in Lebanon, Linn County, Oregon for $510,000 on which we intended to construct a Greenhouse Grow and Production Facility (the “Property”) and filed for OLCC licensure. In August of 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “CVC Agreement”) with CVC International, Inc. (“CVC”), an institutional investor who holds certain of the Company’s Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), one of which was secured by a $500,000 mortgage on the Property. CVC released its lien on the Property to enable the Company to sell the Property and utilize the proceeds therefrom for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders, without having to repay CVC the $500,000 Note held by CVC. Additionally, CVC agreed to advance certain sums against the sale of the Property (“Advances”), which amounted to $270,000 pending the sale of the Property. On February 28, 2023 we sold the Property for a price of $769,500, less commissions and customary closing costs. The net proceeds of the sale were used to repay the advances plus interest (including an additional $100,000 borrowed from another lender interest) and the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $302,000,000. The land is reflected on the balance sheet as assets held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2022 at a value of $516,076. The land was sold in 2023.

 

On September 26, 2019, the Company formed the majority owned subsidiary Kaya Brands International, Inc. (“KBI”) to serve as the Company’s vehicle for expansion into worldwide cannabis markets. Between September of 2019 and March 31, 2024 KBI has formed majority-owned subsidiaries in both Greece and Israel and its local operating subsidiaries have acquired interests in various licenses and entities.

 

On December 13, 2022 the Company formed Fifth Dimension Therapeutics ™ (“FDT”, a Florida Corporation) to seek to provide psychedelic services to sufferers of treatment resistant mental health diseases such as depression, PTSD and other mental health disorders. On January 3, 2023 the Oregon Health Authority (the “OHA”) began to accept license applications, allowing each entity to own and operate one (1) Psilocybin manufacturing and processing facility for the production of Psilocybin Mushrooms and derived therapeutics (“Psilocybins”), and up to five (5) Psilocybin Facilitation Centers where clients would go to ingest Psilocybins and experience effects under the supervision of State Licensed Facilitators.

 

On January 25, 2023 the Company confirmed that attorney Glenn E.J. Murphy was welcomed as a founding member to the FDT Board of Directors. Glenn will assist FDT with introductions to pharmaceutical companies seeking data and access to psychedelic patients, as well as advising on the development of intellectual property, structure of potential joint ventures, funding opportunities, acquisitions, and other related endeavors. Glenn has twenty-five years of private and corporate practice, including ten years in-house with the Henkel Group and more than fifteen years in private practice, Glenn's experience has touched on most every aspect of intellectual property practice.

 

On March 13, 2023, Bryan Arnold (one of KAYS Vice Presidents and its longest serving Oregon Employee) completed his OHA Certified Psilocybin Education through the Changra Institute and became one of the first eighteen graduates to obtain Psilocybin Facilitator certification in the State of Oregon. Bryan’s Facilitation License application has been approved by the OHA, and he now may oversee up to five (5) Psilocybin Treatment Facilities and up to one (1) Psilocybin Production Facility. Additionally, the Company expects to enroll additional potential licensee candidates within the coming months to bolster its ranks of OHA Licensed Psilocybin Facilitators as it moves forward with plans to open its first Psilocybin Clinic, subject to completion of financing and regulatory approvals.

 

On November 14, 2023 the Company filed a license application with the Oregon Department of Health (the “OHA”) for the licensure of The Sacred Mushroom™, an approximately 11,000 square foot psilocybin treatment center located in Portland, Oregon which would serve as the Company’s flagship psilocybin facility.

 

On March 6, 2024, the OHA completed its Psilocybin Service Center License Inspection and itemized three (3) facility structural/layout items that they wanted addressed/modified prior to issuing the facility license. On May 7, 2024, the Company had been awarded its license by the Oregon Health Authority to operate its Portland, Oregon psilocybin treatment center, The Sacred Mushroom. On June 4, 2024, The Sacred Mushroom has begun accepting appointments online.

 

 

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net loss of $600,289 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and net loss of $682,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net loss is due to the changes in derivative liabilities. At June 30, 2024 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $7,701,014 and is totally dependent on its ability to raise capital. The Company has a plan of operations and acknowledges that its plan of operations may not result in generating positive working capital in the near future. Even though management believes that it will be able to successfully execute its business plan, which includes third-party financing and capital issuance, and meet the Company’s future liquidity needs, there can be no assurances in that regard. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this material uncertainty. Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional funds to successfully develop its operations and activities. Management plans include:

 

•

the sale of additional equity and debt securities,

 

•

alliances and/or partnerships with entities interested in and having the resources to support the further development of the Company’s business plan,

 

•

business transactions to assure continuation of the Company’s development and operations,

 

•

development of a unified brand and the pursuit of licenses to operate recreational and medical marijuana facilities under the branded name.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure.  

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in its sales and earnings.  The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the uncertainty associated with the commercialization and ultimate success of the product, (ii) competition inherent at other locations where product is expected to be sold (iii) general economic conditions and (iv) the related volatility of prices pertaining to the cost of sales.

The Company owns 54% of Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method.  The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.  Total Value of Finished goods inventory as of June 30, 2024 is $0 and $9,259 as of December 31, 2023. Inventory allowance and impairment were $0 and $0 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-30 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

   

Long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of its intangible assets, management performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flow of the individual assets over the remaining amortization period. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows.

 

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, the recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets.

 

Operating Leases

 

We lease our retail stores under non-cancellable operating leases. Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, excluding contingent rent, and record the difference between the amount charged to expense and the rent paid as a deferred rent liability.

 

Deferred Rent and Tenant Allowances

 

Deferred rent is recognized when a lease contains fixed rent escalations. We recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis starting from the date of possession and record the difference between the recognized rental expense and cash rent payable as deferred rent. Deferred rent also includes tenant allowances received from landlords in accordance with negotiated lease terms. The tenant allowances are amortized as a reduction to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease starting at the date of possession.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, the Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed if the Company has net income; otherwise it would be anti-dilutive and would result from the conversion of a convertible note.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

We are subject to certain tax risks and treatments that could negatively impact our results of operations

 

Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking-controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act). The IRS has invoked Section 280E in tax audits against various cannabis businesses in the U.S. that are permitted under applicable state laws. Although the IRS issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of such items is interpreted very narrowly, and the bulk of operating costs and general administrative costs are not permitted to be deducted. While there are currently several pending cases before various administrative and federal courts challenging these restrictions, there is no guarantee that these courts will issue an interpretation of Section 280E favorable to cannabis businesses.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

We recorded a provision for income taxes in the amount of $93,910 during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $782,107 during the year ended December 31, 2021. Although we have net operating losses that we believe are available to us to offset this entire tax liability, which arises under Section 280E of the Code because we are a cannabis company, as a conservative measure, we have accrued this liability.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

•

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

•

Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3. See Note 7.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature. 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.

 

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendment also clarifies existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

 

Prior to this Update, an equity-linked financial instrument with a down round feature that otherwise is not required to be classified as a liability under the guidance in Topic 480 is evaluated under the guidance in Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine whether it meets the definition of a derivative. If it meets that definition, the instrument (or embedded feature) is evaluated to determine whether it is indexed to an entity’s own stock as part of the analysis of whether it qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. Generally, for warrants and conversion options embedded in financial instruments that are deemed to have a debt host (assuming the underlying shares are readily convertible to cash or the contract provides for net settlement such that the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative), the existence of a down round feature results in an instrument not being considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. This results in a reporting entity being required to classify the freestanding financial instrument or the bifurcated conversion option as a liability, which the entity must measure at fair value initially and at each subsequent reporting date.

 

The amendments in this Update revise the guidance for instruments with down round features in Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, which is considered in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. An entity still is required to determine whether instruments would be classified in equity under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 in determining whether they qualify for that scope exception. If they do qualify, freestanding instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated.

 

For entities that present EPS in accordance with Topic 260, and when the down round feature is included in an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument, the value of the effect of the down round feature is treated as a dividend when it is triggered and as a numerator adjustment in the basic EPS calculation. This reflects the occurrence of an economic transfer of value to the holder of the instrument, while alleviating the complexity and income statement volatility associated with fair value measurement on an ongoing basis. Convertible instruments are unaffected by the Topic 260 amendments in this Update.

 

The amendments in Part 1 of this Update are a cost savings relative to former accounting. This is because, assuming the required criteria for equity classification in Subtopic 815-40 are met, an entity that issued such an instrument no longer measures the instrument at fair value at each reporting period (in the case of warrants) or separately accounts for a bifurcated derivative (in the case of convertible instruments) on the basis of the existence of a down round feature. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features, applying specialized guidance such as the model for contingent beneficial conversion features rather than bifurcating an embedded derivative also reduces cost and complexity. Under that specialized guidance, the issuer recognizes the intrinsic value of the feature only when the feature becomes beneficial instead of bifurcating the conversion option and measuring it at fair value each reporting period.

 

The amendments in Part II of this Update replace the indefinite deferral of certain guidance in Topic 480 with a scope exception. This has the benefit of improving the readability of the Codification and reducing the complexity associated with navigating the guidance in Topic 480.

 

The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2019; however, the Company needs to continue the derivative liabilities due to variable conversion price on some of the convertible instruments. As such, it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

  

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt.  These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount.  The original issue discount would be recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Extinguishments of Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for extinguishments of liabilities in accordance with ASC 405-20 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. When the conditions are met for extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the sale is recognized.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - Employees

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties) (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial Option Model option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

 

 

•		Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
•		Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index.  The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
•		Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
•		Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – Non-Employees

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The ASU supersedes ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payment to Non-Employment and expends the scope of the Topic 718 to include stock-based payments granted to non-employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement date and performance and vesting conditions for stock-based payments to non-employees are aligned with those of employees, most notably aligning the award measurement date with the grant date of an award. The new guidance is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective transition approach. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2019, with an immaterial impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

•		Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior.  If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
•		Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index.  The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
•		Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
•		Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

  

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

To confirm, all of our OLCC licensed cannabis retail sales operations are conducted and operated on a “cash and carry” basis- product(s) from our inventory accounts are sold to the customer(s) and the customer settles the account at time of receipt of product via cash payment at our retail store; the transaction is recorded at the time of sale in our point-of-sale software system. Revenue is only reported after the product has been delivered to the customer and the customer has paid for the product with cash.

 

To date the only other revenue we have received is for ATM transactions and revenue from this activity is only reported after we receive payment via check from the ATM service provider company.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the purchase of goods and third party testing of the Company’s products.

 

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements.

 

The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, and consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting period ended June 30, 2024.

 

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements are issued.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the effect of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU will likely result in us including the additional required disclosures when adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2024.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.001, of which 100,000 shares have been designated as Series C convertible preferred stock (“Series C” or “Series C preferred stock”). The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. The Board has the authority to issue the shares in one or more series and to fix the designations, preferences, powers and other rights, as it deems appropriate.

 

Each share of Series C has 434 votes on any matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company and is entitled to dividends equal to the dividends of 434 shares of common stock. Each share of Series C preferred stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into 434 shares of common stock.

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Holders each agreed to (a) waive payment of approximately $338,000 of Accrued Compensation; (b) defer payment of the remaining balance of Accrued Compensation owed to each of them of approximately $250,000 until January 1, 2025 ; and (c) exchange the 50,000 Series C Shares ( at total of 100,000) for twenty (20) Series D Convertible Preferred Shares of Kaya Holdings Stock. Mr. Frank’s Series D shares were issued to Mr. Frank and the Series D shares issued for the option held by BMN were issued to RLH Financial Services pursuant to a private sale between BMN and RLH whereby RLH acquired the shares in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000.

 

Each Share of 40 Series D Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, into one percent (1%) of the Company’s Fully Diluted Capitalization as of the Conversion Date. This resulted in a related party gain of $559,058.

 

The Company has 500,000,000 shares of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.001. Each share of common stock has one vote per share for the election of directors and all other items submitted to a vote of stockholders. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights, preemptive, redemption or conversion rights.

 

FDT increased the authorized preferred stock from 85 to 90 shares and issued an additional 9 preferred stock to Kaya Holdings. As the result of the stock changes, the Company’s ownership of FDT changed to approximately 54%.

 

The Company sold 1,265,000 shares of FDT as of June 30, 2024 for $12,650. It doesn’t affect the control right of the Company.

  

As of June 30, 2024, there were 22,172,835 shares of common stock outstanding and 1,100,000 shares subscription payable which total was 23,272,835 shares and no new issuances of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

 

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

Effective January 1, 2019, an equity-linked financial instrument with a down round feature that otherwise is not required to be classified as a liability under the guidance in Topic 480 is evaluated under the guidance in Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine whether it meets the definition of a derivative. If it meets that definition, the instrument (or embedded feature) is evaluated to determine whether it is indexed to an entity’s own stock as part of the analysis of whether it qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. Generally, for warrants and conversion options embedded in financial instruments that are deemed to have a debt host (assuming the underlying shares are readily convertible to cash or the contract provides for net settlement such that the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative), the existence of a down round feature results in an instrument not being considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. This results in a reporting entity being required to classify the freestanding financial instrument or the bifurcated conversion option as a liability, which the entity must measure at fair value initially and at each subsequent reporting date.

 

However, due to a recognition of tainting, due to variable conversion price on some of the convertible notes, all convertible notes are considered to have a derivative liability, therefore the Company accounted for these Notes under ASC Topic 815-15 “Embedded Derivative.”  The derivative component of the obligation is initially valued and classified as a derivative liability with an offset to discounts on convertible debt. Discounts are amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the related note. In determining the indicated value of the convertible note issued, the Company used the Binomial Options Pricing Model with a risk-free interest rate of ranging 4.77% to 5.37%, volatility ranging from 154.81% to 174.23%, trading prices ranging from $0.033 per share and a conversion price ranging from $0.0264 to $0.08 per share. The total derivative liabilities associated with these notes were $2,658,222 at June 30, 2024 and $2,752,321 at December 31, 2023.

 

As a result of the application of ASC No. 815, the fair value of the ratchet feature related to convertible debt is summarized as follow: 

 

Schedule of ratchet feature related to convertible debt
Balance as of December 31, 2023		$	2,752,321
Change in Derivative value			(325,245	)
Initial derivative			231,146
Balance as of June 30, 2024		$	2,658,222

 

The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised and expanded immediately the remaining fair value of the derivative liability, as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note.  

 

The Company recorded initial derivative liabilities of $231,146 and $0 for the new notes issued as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The Company recorded a change in the value of embedded derivative liabilities gain of $325,245 as of June 30, 2024 and a gain of $3,297,215 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The Company reclassified derivative liabilities of $0 to additional paid in capital due to debt repayments for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $155,342 for year ended December 31, 2023

 

NOTE 11 – DEBT DISCOUNT

 

The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised and expensed immediately the remaining fair value of the derivative liability, as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note.

 

Debt discount amounted to $205,093 and $742 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The Company recorded the amortization of debt discount of $26,795 and $249,553 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

 

 

 

 

NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company was indebted to an affiliated shareholder of the Company for $840,955, which consisted of $737,100 principal and $103,895 accrued interest, with interest accruing at 10%. On January 2, 2014, the Company entered into a Debt Modification Agreement whereby the total amount of the debt was reduced to $750,000 and no interest accrued until December 31, 2015. $500,000 of the debt is convertible into 50,000 Series C Convertible Preferred Shares of KAYS. The remaining $250,000 is not convertible.

The shares have been submitted to KAYS' transfer agent for cancellation. In addition, the Company received clear title to the warehouse facility, which enables the Company to sell it without restriction. As part of the settlement, Burwick received $160,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the facility's grow license to an unrelated third party, resigned from the Company's board of directors and agreed to work as a non-exclusive consultant to the Company for the next four years for a yearly fee of $35,000.00. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $138,227 due to Bruce. 

In 2023, The Tudog Group, BMN Consultants, Inc, Inc and 495 Oxford Consulting, Inc which all provide services to the Company through Craig Frank and William David Jones, forgiven totally $38,329 of payable expense. The payable forgiveness were recorded as Additional paid in capital.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Business Overview

 

PART I

 

Item 1. Business.

 

Overview  

 

Kaya Holdings, Inc is a holding company focusing on wellness and mental health through operations in psychedelic treatment clinics, medical and recreational cannabis, and CBD products.

 

In 2014, KAYS became the first US public company to own and operate a medical cannabis dispensary in the United States and has again broken ground with the licensing and opening of The Sacred Mushroom™ Psychedelic Treatment Center. KAYS plans to operate The Sacred Mushroom™ as part of its Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. subsidiary (“FDT”), which also plans to work cooperatively with select pharmaceutical companies to maximize the curative and therapeutic potential of psilocybin.

 

KAYS has approximately ten years of operational experience as a vertically integrated legal cannabis enterprise and is the first U.S. publicly traded company to operate a legal marijuana dispensary, as well as the first to vertically integrate by adding cultivation and manufacturing. During the last ten years of cannabis operations the Company has produced, distributed, and/or sold a full range of premium cannabis products including flower, oils, vape cartridges and cannabis infused confections, baked goods and beverages through a fully integrated group of subsidiaries and companies supporting highly distinctive brands.

 

In late 2019 the Company determined that US Federal cannabis legalization was not something that would come to fruition anytime soon and began to explore overseas opportunities for cannabis operations. The Company currently has one retail cannabis license in Oregon and two medical marijuana production and processing licenses in Greece.

 

In addition, we also began looking at opportunities within the pending legalization of Psilocybin treatments in Oregon and their potential therapeutic value for treatment-resistant mental health disorders.

 

In November 2020, Oregon became the first state in the United States to legalize and license the supervised use of psilocybin, and in January 2023 they began accepting licensing applications for Oregon Health Authority (the “OHA”) State Licensed Psilocybin Facilitators (OHA licensed professionals to operate the clinics), and also for the licensing of Psilocybin Manufacturing and Testing operations and the Facilitation clinics where clients can obtain Psilocybin Treatment Services. The OHA had also launched Oregon’s medical cannabis program in 2014, giving KAYS critical experience in comprehending and complying with OHA mandates, and sets the stage for KAYS “First Mover Advantage” in the emerging US psychedelic therapeutics industry.

 

On November 14, 2023, the Company filed a license application with the OHA for the licensure of The Sacred Mushroom™, an approximately 11,000 square foot psychedelic treatment center located in Portland, Oregon which the Company intends to operate as its flagship psychedelic treatment facility.

 

On April 25, 2024 the Company received notice from the OHA that its license had been approved and we commenced operations on August 1, 2024. It is our understanding is that we are the first US Public Company to own and operate a US based licensed Psychedelic Treatment Facility.

 

 

 

 

Our Psychedelic Treatment Facility Plan and KAYS Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. Subsidiary

 

On December 13, 2022 the Company formed Fifth Dimension Therapeutics ™ (“FDT”) to seek to provide psychedelic "mind care" treatments to veterans suffering from PTSD, addicts seeking to break addiction, individuals with eating disorders, and others with a wide array of treatment resistant mental health disorders.

 

On January 3, 2023 the OHA began to accept license applications, allowing each entity to own and operate one (1) Psilocybin manufacturing and processing facility for the production of Psilocybin Mushrooms and derived therapeutics (“Psilocybins”), and up to five (5) Psilocybin Facilitation Centers where clients would go to ingest Psilocybins and experience effects under the supervision of State Licensed Facilitators. The OHA had also launched Oregon’s medical cannabis program in 2014, giving KAYS critical experience in comprehending and complying with OHA mandates. The psilocybin opportunity is a logical extension for Kaya Holdings. The purpose, customer, regulations, and operations, as well as our familiarity with Oregon regulators, are synergistic with our current mission, and can be leveraged within our current operational infrastructure. We anticipate being able to respond to market demand rapidly, upon licensing. The licenses issued in Oregon are the first ever State Legal Licensing of Psilocybin Manufacturing and Treatment Centers, and KAYS is positioned to be first in line due to its operating history in Oregon.

 

On January 25, 2023 attorney Glenn E.J. Murphy became a founding member of the FDT Board of Directors. Mr. Murphy has agreed to assist FDT with introductions to pharmaceutical companies seeking data and access to psychedelic patients, as well as advising on the development of intellectual property, structure of potential joint ventures, funding opportunities, acquisitions, and other related endeavors. With more than 25 years of experience in corporate legal practice (including both ten years in-house with the Henkel Group and more than 15 years in private practice), Mr. Murphy’s experience has touched on most every aspect of intellectual property practice.

  

On March 13, 2023, Bryan Arnold (one of KAYS Vice Presidents and its longest serving Oregon Employee) completed his OHA Certified Psilocybin Education through the Changra Institute and became one of the first eighteen graduates to obtain Psilocybin Facilitator certification in the State of Oregon. Bryan’s Facilitation License application has been approved by the OHA, and he now may oversee up to five (5) Psilocybin Treatment Facilities and up to one (1) Psilocybin Production Facility. Additionally, the Company expects to enroll additional potential licensee candidates within the coming months to bolster its ranks of OHA Licensed Psilocybin Facilitators as it moves forward with plans to open its first Psychedelic Treatment Center, subject to completion of financing and regulatory approvals.

 

On November 14, 2023 the Company filed a license application with the OHA for the licensure of The Sacred Mushroom™, an approximately 11,000 square foot psychedelic treatment center located in Portland, Oregon which the Company intends to operate as its flagship psychedelic treatment facility. On April 25, 2024 the Company received notice from the OHA that its license had been approved and we commenced operations on August 1, 2024. It is our understanding is that we are the first US Public Company to own and operate a US based licensed Psychedelic Treatment Facility.

 

 

The Science of Psilocybin and Treatment Resistant Mental Health Issues

 

 

Growing evidence suggests that psychedelics act on the brain’s default network, or those regions of the brain that remain active when your brain is not engaged in active tasks. The default network provides a “framework” for the brain’s activity, providing structure and making order of all that is happening in the cortex and keeping external neurological information (delivered via our senses) distinct from internally generated activity (thoughts, emotions, and memory).

 

Psychedelics seem to suppress the default network, relaxing the separation of our senses, memories, thoughts, and emotions, and enabling each to influence each other more easily. This ability to break down the brain’s “framework” has led to a focus on psychedelics as a groundbreaking opportunity to address a wide range of mental health disorders.

 

Psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound found in “magic mushrooms”, is one of an emerging class of psychedelic medicines that contain potent psychoactive chemicals that can serve to affect human perception, emotions, and other cognitive functions. Psychedelic medicines have been found to have ground-breaking potential in treating a range of physical and mental disorders including anxiety and panic disorder, resistant depression, opiate addiction, adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”), post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), and acute and chronic pain. 

 

A 2020 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry found that 71% of the patients with severe, previously treatment-resistant depression, showed “clinically significant improvement” that lasted at least four weeks and with “low potential” for addiction after treatment with Psilocybin. Speaking on the study one of the study’s co-authors, Alan Davis, a neuroscience researcher at Ohio State University and adjunct professor at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research stated, “I would say at this stage the research is showing that in safe settings, this provides relief from debilitating mental health problems for some people.”

 

   

 

It is estimated that approximately 46.5 million American adults (18%) battle an anxiety disorder such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Panic Disorders, 24.5 million American adults (9.5%) suffer from depressive illness (with someone committing suicide every 40 seconds), 17.3 million American adults (6.7%) have been diagnosed with Alcohol Use Disorder, 18.3 million American adults (7.1%) are considered drug dependent, and 11.4 million American women (8.5%) and 3 million American men (2.5%) struggle with an eating disorder. All of these difficult to treat mental health disorders have been shown by research to be aided by psychedelic treatment.

  

Companies such as Compass Pathways, ATAI Life Sciences, and Cybin are engaged in developing synthetic versions of psilocybin and psilocin (the active ingredient in “magic mushrooms”) to offer as breakthrough therapies for treatment resistant mental health disorders. As a “Delivery of Treatment” provider, it is expected that The Sacred Mushroom™ and similar facilities will be the safe environment needed for these emerging pharma-based psychedelic treatments. As these companies endure the costly, time consuming, and unpredictable path to FDA approval, we believe that The Scared Mushroom will establish its position as a leader in the delivery of psychedelic care, offering more immediate relief for people with pressing mental health conditions.

 

Industry Treatment Models

 

A recently published report on psilocybin treatment prices in Oregon showed that initial prices for one facility range from $300 for a group microdose session to $3,500 for an individual high-dose session, with another facility pricing first-time full dose treatments at $15,000 (these prices do not include the cost of the psilocybin, which can run from $300 to $500).

 

KAYS facility offers a superior setting, broader activity and treatment options, integrated cultivation and processing, and accessible pricing, thereby enabling us to deliver a superior treatment experience at a much lower price than the competition, while still achieving profitability.

 

 

The Sacred Mushroom™ Psychedelic Treatment Facility

 

 

It has been shown that Set and Setting are the keys to the successful psilocybin journeys. (Set as in mindset, Setting as in the place). With this in mind, the curators at The Sacred Mushroom™ (“TSM”) carefully considered every detail to enable an extraordinary setting. TSM provides guests access to psilocybin treatments in a spacious, comfortable, carefully controlled environment under licensure by the OHA (OHA).

 

Situated in downtown Portland in Old Chinatown, The Sacred Mushroom™ is less than 30 minutes from Portland International Airport (PDX) and conveniently accessible by public transportation. The Sacred Mushroom™ is seven floors above the city of Portland, with panoramic views of the city skyline and Mount Hood. The Sacred Mushroom™ encompasses approximately 11,000 sq ft. and provides guests with access to private treatment rooms, group session areas, and activity zones with movement, listening stations, journaling chairs, and art expression for distinctive, effective, and positive psilocybin treatments. The setting and space are designed to deliver the ultimate in safe, comfortable, and relaxing psychedelic treatments.

The Global Psilocybin and Psychedelic Medicine Industry

 

While Oregon is currently the only State that has legalized Psilocybin for medical use with a regulatory framework in place to issue licenses for their manufacture and sale, Denver Colorado, Santa Cruz and Oakland, California, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Washington D.C., and Seattle, Washington have all decriminalized small quantities. Other activity in the U.S. include:

 

§

The Connecticut legislature has begun the process toward legalizing Psilocybin centers for the treatment of veterans. Many veterans’ groups are advocating making psychedelic treatments available for veterans, particularly those with PTSD.

 

§

Texas, Utah, Maryland, and Washington State have set up task forces to study the medical use of psilocybin and have funded research to explore the effects of psilocybin on certain mental health conditions.

 

§

Cannabis Operations

 

Kaya™ Family of Brands

 

During the last 10 years of cannabis operations the Company has produced, distributed, and/or sold a full range of premium cannabis products including flower, oils, vape cartridges and cannabis infused confections, baked goods and beverages through a fully integrated group of subsidiaries and companies supporting highly distinctive brands.

 

The Company currently maintains an extensive genetic library of seeds for top strains of cannabis that it has assembled from its own grow operations and other commercial sources which it intends to utilize to launch international grow operations in Greece and elsewhere.

Kaya Brands International

 

In 2019 KAYS formed Kaya Brands International, Inc. (“Kaya International” or “KBI”), to leverage its experience and expand into worldwide cannabis markets. KBI’s current initiative includes Greece, with additional areas under consideration.

 

Kaya Farms Greece

In September 2017, the Greek government announced it would be legalizing medical cannabis, and less than a year later Greek leaders approved Law 4523 and Joint Ministerial Decision No. 51483, which permitted farming and production of medical cannabis. In 2020 the Greek Parliament passed legislation that further relaxed cannabis export regulations, now permitting the bulk export of cannabis flower.

 

We have selected Greece as the center of our European market activity because of its amenable cannabis regulations, favorable climate, affordable, capable workforce, and the country’s position as a major pharmaceutical center in Europe.

 

As an EU nation Greece opens up the entire European market (where legal) to KAYS flower and oils, and as permitted, the KAYS portfolio of brands.

 

On January 11, 2021, through a majority owned subsidiary of KBI, Kaya Farms Greece (or “KFG”) and Greekkannabis (“GKC”, an Athens based cannabis company) executed an agreement for KBI to acquire 50% of GKC. The first 25% was acquired in January, 2021 and the remaining 25% was acquired in July, 2021. GKC’s projects include two medical cannabis cultivation and processing projects in Greece- one in Epidaurus, Greece and the other in Thebes, Greece.

 

Additionally, on November 8, 2021 KAYS/KBI through a majority owned subsidiary of KBI (Kaya Farms Greece or “KFG”) executed an agreement to acquire 50% of Greekkaya, a second medical Cannabis in Epidaurus, Greece.

 

GKC has a development license from the Greek authorities that was originally issued as part of a plan purchase and develop 15 acres in Thebes, Greece as a large-scale cultivation production and processing project. However, GKC has elected to hold off on acquiring the land until such time as European cannabis demand warrants the investment required to develop the project.

 

The Epidaurus Project consists of 2 connected industrial buildings (already constructed, approximately 50,000 square feet in total under-air space) situated on 2.8 acres of land, with its own independent industrial electrical power center and ample water supply to service the needs of the facility. The Epidaurus Project will include 25,000 square feet of indoor cannabis cultivation, a 15,000 square foot EU-GMP extraction and processing facility, and a 10,000 square foot EU-GMP packing area. There is ample room for expansion with room to construct an additional 15,000 square feet on site. The joint venture is awaiting project financing and final license approval from Greek government authorities.

 

Neither of the two subject Greece properties are currently owned or optioned by GKC or its operating subsidiaries, but the land for the potential project in Epidaurus is owned by one of our Greek partner’s families and the land in Thebes is currently available for purchase or option. The Company believes it could acquire either of the properties once funding and market conditions allow. Alternatively, both licenses are in good order, and can be transferred to a new location pending Greek Government approval.

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws directly applicable to our operations. As we continue to expand the scope of our operations, the application of existing laws and regulations could include matters such as pricing, advertising, consumer protection, quality of products, and intellectual property ownership. In addition, we will also be subject to new laws and regulations directly applicable to our activities.

 

While the State of Oregon has created a regulatory framework through the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) that allows for the administration of psilocybin to clients in OHA Licensed Psilocybin Treatment Facilities, the use and possession of Psilocybin is currently illegal under Federal Law.

 

Any existing or new legislation applicable to us could expose us to substantial liability, including significant expenses necessary to comply with such laws and regulations, which could hinder or prevent the growth of our business.

 

Federal, state and local laws and regulations governing legal recreational and medical marijuana use are broad in scope and are subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance. In addition, violations of these laws or allegations of such violations could disrupt our planned business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that additional or revised federal, state and local laws and regulations may be enacted in the future governing the legal marijuana industry. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with any such laws and regulations and its failure to do so could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our foreign operations will also be subject to comparable government regulation in Greece and any other various foreign jurisdictions in which KAYS intends to operate.

 

Competition

 

The legal marijuana sector is rapidly growing and the Company faces significant competition in the operation of retail outlets and grow facilities. Many of these competitors will have far greater experience, more extensive industry contacts and greater financial resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that we can adequately compete to succeed in our business plan.

 

The legal psychedelic medicine sector is rapidly growing, and while the industry is at a much earlier stage than cannabis, the Company will also face significant competition in the operation of retail outlets and grow facilities. Many of these competitors will have far greater experience, more extensive industry contacts and greater financial resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that we can adequately compete to succeed in our business plan.

 

Employees

 

As of the date as of this Report, our Oregon operations have 2 full-time employees, consisting of Chad Craig, the Senior Vice President of Oregon Operations and Bryan Arnold, Vice President of KAYS Subsidiary Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. and Lead Facilitator of the Sacred Mushroom Psychedelic Treatment Center. Additionally, we engage several consultants to assist with daily duties and business implementation and execution. Additional employees will be hired and other consultants engaged in the future as we execute our business plan.

Moreover, we may not be successful in raising additional capital on commercially reasonable terms, if and when needed, in which case our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Not applicable. 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

  

Under the direction of our Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Our Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fourth fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chairman and President concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management of is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: 

 

▪

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

▪		Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
▪		Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The Company’s Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024.. In making this assessment, the Company’s Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). The COSO framework is based upon five integrated components of control: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communications and ongoing monitoring.

 

Based on the assessment performed, the Company’s Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as of June 30, 2023. is not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, the Company’s Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024.

 

Based on an evaluation, the Company’s Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of June 30, 2024. (the “Evaluation Date”), to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Each of the following is deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:

  

▪		We do not have an audit committee.  While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures.
▪		We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements.  We currently have only one officer overseeing all transactions.  This has resulted in several deficiencies, including the lack of control over preparation of financial statements and proper application of accounting policies
▪		Lack of controls over related party transactions: As  of  June 30, 2024, the  Company  did  not  establish  a  formal  written  policy  for  the  approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions.

 

The Company’s Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, believes that the material weaknesses set forth in the two items above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, the Company’s Chairman and President, who is our principal, executive, financial and accounting officer, believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and financial procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during the first quarter of the year ended June 30, 2024 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
