ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated accounts include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, SkyPharm S.A., Decahedron Ltd. and Cosmofarm Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Effects of COVID-19

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of April 15, 2021, the date of issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the Euro and British Pound. For financial reporting purposes, both the Euro (“EUR”) and British Pound (“GBP”) have been translated into United States dollars ($) and/or (USD) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other comprehensive income (loss). There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of EUR or GBP to USD after the balance sheet date.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for all periods presented includes only foreign currency translation gains (losses).

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the consolidated results of operations as incurred.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the exchange rates used to translate amounts in Euros into USD and British Pounds into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Exchange rate on balance sheet dates
EUR: USD exchange rate		1.2230		1.1227
GBP: USD exchange rate		1.3662		1.3185

Average exchange rate for the period
EUR: USD exchange rate		1.1410		1.1194
GBP: USD exchange rate		1.2829		1.2767

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no cash equivalents.

The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States denominated in U.S. Dollars and in Greece and in Bulgaria all of which are denominated in Euros. Additionally, the Company maintains a bank account in the United Kingdom denominated in British Pounds. As of December 31, 2020, the amounts in these accounts were $448,659, $134,935 and $1,651. As of December 31, 2019, the amounts in these accounts were $14,451, $10,987 and $4,080. Additionally, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $31,604 and $52,489, respectively.

Account receivable, net

Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts against gross accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $715,845 and $529,252, respectively.

Reclassifications to Prior Period Financial Statements and Adjustments

Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company’s financial statements of the prior period to conform to the current year presentation. $4,381 in other investments for the year ended December 31, 2019 was reclassified to other current assets. $800,164 in accounts payable and accrued expenses was reclassified to accrued interest. For the year ended December 31, 2019, $264 in interest expense – related parties was reclassified to interest expense. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2019, $234,037, respectively in sales and marketing expenses were reclassified from general and administrative expenses. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net loss.

Tax Receivables

The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or similar taxes (“input VAT”), income taxes, and other taxes within the normal course of its business in most of the countries in which it operates related to the procurement of merchandise and/or services it acquires and/or on sales and taxable income. The Company also collects VAT or similar taxes on behalf of the government (“output VAT”) for merchandise and/or services it sells. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, this creates a VAT payable to the government. If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, this creates a VAT receivable from the government. The VAT tax return is filed on a monthly basis offsetting the payables against the receivables. In observance of EU regulations for intra-EU cross-border sales, our subsidiaries in Greece, SkyPharm and Cosmofarm, do not charge VAT for sales to wholesale drug distributors registered in other European Union member states. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a VAT net payable balance of $159,198 and $136,891 respectively, recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at net realizable value using the weighted average method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials, i.e. packaged pharmaceutical products and the wrappers and containers they are sold in. A periodic inventory system is maintained by 100% count. Inventory is replaced periodically to maintain the optimum stock on hand available for immediate shipment.

The Company writes-down inventories to net realizable value based on physical condition, expiration date, current market conditions, as well as forecasted demand. The Company’s inventories are not highly susceptible to obsolescence. Many of the Company’s inventory items are eligible for return to our suppliers when pre-agreed product requirements, including, but not limited to, physical condition and expiration date, are not met.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the useful lives (except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life) of the assets as follows:

	Estimated Useful Life
Leasehold improvements and technical works		Lesser of lease term or 40 years
Vehicles		6 years
Machinery		20 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		5–10 years
Computers and software		3-5 years

Depreciation expense was $240,886 and $201,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Long-lived Assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted 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 assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no impairment of long-lived assets.

Goodwill and Intangibles, net

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.

On December 19, 2018, as a result of the acquisition of Cosmo farm, the Company recorded $49,697 of goodwill.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are recorded on the basis of cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a useful life of 5 years for an import/export license. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets annually to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset will be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. As of December 31, 2020, no revision to the remaining amortization period of the intangible assets was made.

Amortization expense was $33,176 and $33,086 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Equity Method Investment

For those investments in common stock or in-substance common stock in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. The Company records its share in the earnings of the investee and is included in “Equity earnings of affiliate” in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company assesses its investment for other-than-temporary impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable and recognizes an impairment loss to adjust the investment to its then current fair value.

Investments in Equity Securities

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, and accordingly, investments in equity securities are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Equity securities are classified as short-term or long-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability to meet current operating requirements. Equity securities that are readily available for use in current operations are reported as a component of current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Equity securities that are not considered available for use in current operations would be reported as a component of long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For equity securities with no readily determinable fair value, the Company elects a measurement alternative to fair value. Under this alternative, the Company measures the investments at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in transactions for identical or similar investments of the investee. The election to use the measurement alternative is made for each eligible investment.

As of December 31, 2020, investments consisted of 3,000,000 shares, which traded at a closing price of $0 per share or a value of $0 of ICC International Cannabis Corp., 40,000 shares which traded at a closing price of $5.45 per share, or value of $218,183 of Diversa S.A. and 16,666 shares which traded at a closing price of $0.28 per share or value of $4,609 of National Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Company has $4,772 in equity securities of Pancreta bank, which are not publicly traded and recorded at cost. See Note 2, for additional investments in equity securities.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

The following table presents assets that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, on a recurring basis:

	December 31, 2020						Total Carrying
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Value
Marketable securities – ICC International Cannabis Corp.	$	-		-		-	$	-
Marketable securities – Divsersa S.A.		218,183		-		-		218,183
Marketable securities – National Bank of Greece		4,609		-		-		4,609
	$	222,792					$	222,792

	December 31, 2019						Total Carrying
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Value
Marketable securities – ICC International Cannabis Corp.	$	33,000		-		-	$	33,000
Marketable securities – Divsersa S.A.		200,290		-		-		200,290
Marketable securities – National Bank of Greece		5,650		-		-		5,650
	$	238,940					$	238,940

FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, (“ASC 825-10-25”), expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. When the Company enters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features are clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the remainder of the host contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the host contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument, then the embedded feature is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets separately from the carrying value of the host contract. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Customer Advances

The Company receives prepayments from certain customers for pharmaceutical products prior to those customers taking possession of the Company’s products. The Company records these receipts as customer advances until it has met all the criteria for recognition of revenue including passing control of the products to its customer, at such point, the Company will reduce the customer and deposits balance and credit the Company’s revenues.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company uses a five-step model for recognizing revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring the promised goods to the customer. Once these steps are met, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) issued by the SEC in March 2005 regarding its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock-based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”

Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated.

Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in net earnings.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable.

The following tables show the number of the Company’s clients which contributed 10% or more of revenue and accounts receivable, respectively:

	Year Ended December 31,			Year Ended December 31,
	2020			2019

Number of 10% clients		1			0
Percentage of total revenue		14.82	%		n/a
Percentage of total AR		14.65	%		n/a

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes ASC 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company is liable for income taxes in Greece and the United Kingdom of England. The corporate income tax rate is 24% in Greece (tax losses are carried forward for five years effective January 1, 2013) and 19% in United Kingdom of England. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.

We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2020 the Company has maintained a valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction in which it is subject to income tax.

The Company periodically reviews the uncertainties and judgments related to the application of complex income tax regulations to determine income tax liabilities in several jurisdictions. The Company uses a “more likely than not” criterion for recognizing the income tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and establishing measurement criteria for income tax benefits. The Company has evaluated the impact of these positions and due to the fact that the fiscal years 2013 - 2014 are unaudited by the Greek tax authorities, a potential tax liability has not been identified because there is a limitation on periods that the Tax authorities can audit retrospectively 5 years prior to the current fiscal year. Therefore, no prospective tax audit from tax authorities may arise. The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $0 and $79,716, respectively, and has been excluded from recording as a long-term liability within the consolidated balance sheets.

Retirement and Termination Benefits

Under Greek labor law, employees are entitled to lump-sum compensation in the event of termination or retirement. The amount depends on the employee’s work experience and renumeration as of the day of termination or retirement. If an employee remains with the company until full-benefit retirement, the employee is entitled to a lump-sum equal to 40% of the compensation to be received if the employee were to be dismissed on the same day. The Company periodically reviews the uncertainties and judgements related to the application of the relevant labor law regulations to determine retirement and termination benefits obligations of its Greek subsidiaries. The Company has evaluated the impact of these regulations and has identified a potential retirement and termination benefits liability. The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, was $107,167 and $77,170, respectively, and has been recorded as a long-term liability within the consolidated balance sheets.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, using the treasury stock method. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding.

	Years Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding Basic		13,270,097		13,273,596
Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents		37,698		-
Weighted average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding – Diluted		13,307,795		13,273,596

Common stock equivalents are included in the diluted income per share calculation only when option exercise prices are lower than the average market price of the common shares for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
