NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS	Distribution and Equity Agreement On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement (the “Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement”) with Marathon Global Inc. (“Marathon”), a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Marathon was formed to be a global supplier of cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD) and/or any cannabis extract products, extracts, ancillaries and derivatives (collectively, the “Products”). The Company was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Products initially throughout Europe and on a non-exclusive basis wherever else lawfully permitted. The Company has no present intention to distribute any Products under this Agreement in the United States or otherwise participate in cannabis operations in the United States. The Company intends to await further clarification from the U.S. Government on cannabis regulation prior to determining whether to enter the domestic market. The Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement is to remain in effect indefinitely unless Marathon fails to provide Market Competitive (as defined) product pricing and Marathon has not become profitable within five (5) years of the agreement. The transaction closed on May 22, 2018 after the due diligence period, following which the Company received: (a) a 33 1/3% equity interest or 5 million shares in Marathon as partial consideration for the Company’s distribution services; and (b) received cash of CAD $2,000,000, subject to repayment in common shares of the Company if it fails to meet certain performance milestones. The Company is entitled to receive an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon the Company’s receipt of gross sales of CAD $6,500,000 and an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon receipt of gross sales of CAD $13,000,000. The Company was also given the right to nominate one director to the Marathon board of directors. Since Marathon is a newly formed entity with no assets and no activity, the Company attributed no value to the 5 million shares in Marathon which was received as consideration for the distribution services. As described below, the Company exchanged the Marathon shares in May and July 2018. Share Exchange Agreements On May 17, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “SEA”) with Marathon, ICC International Cannabis Corp (“ICC”) formerly known as Kaneh Bosm Biotechnology Inc. (“KBB”) and certain other sellers of Marathon capital stock. Under the SEA, the Company transferred 2.5 million shares in Marathon to ICC, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a public reporting issuer on the Canadian Securities Exchange, in exchange for 5 million shares of ICC. The Company accounted for the exchange at fair value and recognized a gain on exchange of its investment in Marathon of $1,953,000 included in “Gains on exchange of equity investments” in the consolidated statements of operations. On July 16, 2018, the Company completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “New SEA”) with Marathon, ICC, and certain other sellers of Marathon capital stock whereby the Company transferred its remaining one-half interest (2.5 million shares) in Marathon to KBB for an additional 5 million shares of ICC. The Company accounted for the exchange at fair value and recognized a gain on exchange of its investment in Marathon of $2,092,200 included in Gains on exchange of equity investments in the consolidated statements of operations. The ten million shares of ICC owned by the Company constitute approximately 7% of the 141,219,108 shares of capital stock of KBB then issued and outstanding. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over ICC. The Company determined the fair value of both exchanges based on an actively quoted stock price of ICC received in exchange for the Marathon shares. The Company continues to fair value its investment in ICC with changes recognized in earnings each period and recorded an unrealized loss on exchange of investment during the year ended December 31, 2018 of $1,545,200 such that the net gain at the end of the period is $2,500,000. Since no value was attributed to the 33 1/3% equity ownership interest in Marathon received as consideration for the distribution services, the Company would receive variable consideration in future for its services under the Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement, if certain milestones are achieved. Refer to Note 9 for the accounting associated with the cash of CAD $2 million received upfront. Variable consideration to be received in the future upon achieving the gross sales milestones described above, is constrained as the Company estimates that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue could occur. In assessing the constraint, the Company considered its limited experience with the Products, new geographic markets and similar transactions, which affect the Company’s ability to estimate the likelihood of a probable revenue reversal. Therefore, no revenue has been recognized for the period ended December 31, 2018. The Company will continue to reassess variable consideration at each reporting period and update the transaction price when it becomes probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur.
