Company Overview
Our current business focus is on commercializing our own and licensed
technologies worldwide for transmucosal and transdermal delivery of legal
medical or recreational cannabis (other than in the field of oral care) and
cannabinoids ("CBD") (collectively, the "Technology"). While part of the
cannabis family, CBD, which contains less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol
("THC"), the psychoactive compound that produces the "high" in marijuana, is
distinguished from cannabis by its use, physical appearance and lower THC
concentration (cannabis generally has a THC level of 10% or more). The Company's
initial product is an oral transmucosal patch platform which provides for loaded
actives to be absorbed by the buccal mucosa into the body.
On December 5, 2019, the Company received its first purchase order for 125,000
oral patches employing the Technology, which was filled in the second quarter of
2020. The Company has subsequently received and is negotiating additional orders
for the oral patches.
The Company intends to continue to commercialize the Technology by sublicensing
or partnering with companies in the legal cannabis and CBD industries to bring
the product to market. Potential partners include licensed producers,
distributors, processors, consumer product and pharmaceutical companies. The
Company intends to focus on the North American market in legal medical and
recreational cannabis and CBD segments.
The Company is pursuing additional business opportunities in the CBD space,
including in cosmetic, beauty, and health and wellness products. The Company is
also seeking to license cannabinoid therapeutic technologies from medical and
academic institutions with the intention of advancing those technologies through
clinical studies, product development, and commercialization.
On July 21, 2021, GCAN entered into a License Agreement and a Research
Agreement, with Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel, pursuant to
which GCAN (a) licensed the rights to a CBD formulation developed at Shaare
Zedek as a therapeutic for treatment of autism related spectrum disorders (ASD),
attention deficit syndrome (ASD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease
(PD) and other neuropsychiatric disorders in children and adolescents; and (b)
agreed to sponsor further clinical research at Shaare Zedek with respect to
commercialization of the licensed CBD formulation.
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business
Since March 2020 there has been and there continues to be a significant and
growing volatility and uncertainty in the global economy due to the worldwide
Covid-19 pandemic affecting all business sectors and industries. The fulfillment
of our first order of patches was delayed from the first quarter to the second
quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 shutdowns in the United States. Moreover,
our customers and suppliers could be further adversely affected as a result of
additional or future quarantines, facility closures and logistics restrictions
imposed or which otherwise occur in connection with the pandemic. More broadly,
the high degree unemployment resulting from the pandemic could potentially lead
to an extended economic downturn, which would likely decrease spending,
adversely affect demand for our products and harm our business, results of
operations and financial condition. At this time, we cannot accurately predict
the long-term effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had $446,358 cash at September 30, 2021, compared to $112,953 at December 31,
2020.
At September 30, 2021, we had $298,756 in principal amount of outstanding notes

On March 15, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the
"Securities Purchase Agreement") with FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC
("FFG") pursuant to which it issued to FFG an initial 6% convertible note to FFG
in the principal amount of $272,500, of which $22,500 constituted an original
issue discount. On June 28, 2021, the Company issued a second 6% convertible
note to FFG in the principal amount of $272,500, of which $22,500 constituted an
original issue discount (the first and second promissory notes being
collectively, the "FFG Notes").
The FFG Notes bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, which
accrues from the date of funding of and will mature on March 11, 2021. The FFG
Notes may be pre-paid in whole or in part by paying FFG the following premiums:
PREPAY DATE PREPAY AMOUNT
? 30 days 105% * (Principal + Interest ("P+I")
31- 60 days 110% * (P+I)
61-90 days 115% * (P+I)
91-120 days 120% * (P+I)
121-150 days 125% * (P+I)
151-180 days 130% * (P+I)
Any amount of principal or interest on the FFG Notes, which is not paid when due
shall bear interest at the rate of twenty-four (24%) per annum from the due date
thereof until the same is paid ("Default Interest").

FFG has the right beginning on The earlier of (i) the date a registration
statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the FF Note is
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or (ii)
(one hundred eighty (180) days following the issuance of the first FFG Note, to
convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the
FFG Notes and accrued but unpaid interest thereon into shares of our common
stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $.01 or 70% of the 5-day
average prior to the date the registration statement is qualified, $0.0052 per
share (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price of the FFG Notes is subject
to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or other
customary events. In the case of an Event of Default (as defined in the FFG
Notes), the FFG Notes shall become immediately due and payable in an amount (the
"Default Amount") equal to the principal amount then outstanding plus accrued
interest (including any Default Interest) through the date of full repayment,
multiplied by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%). and interest shall accrue
at the rate of Default Interest. Certain events of default will result in
further penalties.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, on March 15, 2021, the Company
also issued three warrants to FFG (the "Warrants") to purchase 25,000,000,
15,000,000 and 10,000,000 shares of our common stock, respectively. The Warrants
are exercisable for a period of eighteen (18) months from issuance, at exercise
prices of $0.025, $0.05 and $0.075, respectively. The exercise prices are
subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or
other customary events.
On March 15, 2021, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement
(the "Registration Rights Agreement") with FFG, pursuant to which it agreed to
prepare and file with the SEC registration statement or registration statements
(as is necessary) covering the resale of all of the shares of common stock into
which the FFG Notes are convertible and the shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants. The initial registration statement was declared effective by the SEC
on June 28, 2021. On June 29, 2021 and July 15, 2021, FFG converted $25,858 and

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The SEC issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding
Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" suggesting that companies provide
additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies.
In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the SEC has defined the most critical
accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a
company's financial condition and operating results and require management to
make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need
to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this
definition, we have identified the following significant policies as critical to
the understanding of our financial statements. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (ii) the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the
financial statements. Our management expects to make judgments and estimates
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of
variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties
increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we
believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may
differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions
based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
