Plan of Operation
Our plan of operation for the next 12 months is to: (i) market the licensing of
the Company's technology in states in the U.S. where marijuana and/or hemp has
been legalized both for medicinal and/or recreational use, and in the Canadian
provinces; (ii) seek to raise additional equity funding so that the Company may
pursue the construction and operation of a facility to produce and market hemp
cigarettes to be located in Northern Nevada; and (iii) complete the transactions
which are the subjects of the two letters of intent signed by the Company which
include acquiring an Oregon company which specializes in hemp-related products
and operating the joint venture with Hempacco Co, Inc. to produce, market and
distribute hemp cigarettes and hemp-based products in the United States, Canada
and Mexico using the Company's Patented and Patent Pending Technologies. During
the next 12 months, our cash requirements include expenses to market our
technology; expenses to construct and operate a facility to produce and market
hemp cigarettes to be located in either San Diego, California or Northern
Nevada; the payment of our SEC reporting and filing expenses, including
associated legal and accounting fees; and costs incident to maintaining our good
standing as a corporation in our state of organization. We anticipate that we
will need to raise additional equity funds to successfully commence and operate
a facility to produce and market hemp cigarettes. We have no commitments to
raise any additional funds at the present time, and we can offer no assurance
that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to the
Company.

Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2021
We had no revenues during the year ended December 31, 2022. We hope to start
earning revenues during the present fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $181,971 for the year ended
December 31, 2022, a decrease of $38,605 from the $220,576 of general and
administrative expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2021. We
incurred depreciation of $56,393 in the year ended December 31, 2022 which is an
increase of $21,043 over the $35,350 incurred in the year ended December 31,
2021.
We incurred interest expense of $66,473 in the year ended December 31, 2022, an
increase of $8,114 from the $58,359 of interest expense incurred in the year
ended December 31, 2021. The increase is due to the increase in aggregate
principal balance of the Convertible notes payable in the later period from
increased borrowings, and increases in interest rates in some of the Notes
Payable in the later period. We also incurred interest expense - related party
of $1,597 in the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $555 from the
$2,152 of interest expense - related party incurred in the year ended December
31, 2021. The decrease is due to the Company's repayment of $10,000 of principal
balance of the Notes Payable-Related Party in a prior period. We incurred an
expense of $17,518 due to the amortization of debt discount in the year ended
December 31, 2022 which was an increase of $17,518 over the year ended December
31, 2021.
We incurred a net loss of $323,952, or approximately $0.01 per share, in the
year ended December 31, 2022, which is $10,003 less than the net loss of
$316,437 incurred in the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in the net
loss incurred in the later period is largely attributable to the amortization of
debt discount incurred in the later period.

21
The Company invested $43,435 in furniture, fixtures and equipment for its
facility located at 229 E, 5th street in Reno, Nevada during the year ended
December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect to have any further investments
for this property in the future. There was no such investment in the year ended
December 31, 2021.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained
operating losses during the current year-to-date and may not achieve the level
of profitable operations to sustain its activities. These factors raise
substantial doubt as to its ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing and
achieve profitable operations.
Management intends to raise additional operating funds to fund operations for
the next 12 months through proceeds to be received from the planned sale of our
hemp farming equipment, and through raising funds through equity and/or debt
offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in
its endeavors. Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve profitable
operations in order to continue as a going concern.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a
level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or
(2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public
offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support its working capital
requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any
private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the
Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be
given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on
terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available
to the Company it may be required to curtail its operations.
Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure
The Company qualifies as an "emerging growth company" under the 2012 JOBS Act.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take
advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of
the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As
an emerging grown company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain
accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private
companies. The Company may elect to take advantage of the benefits of this
extended transition period in the future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind for the year ended December
31, 2022.
