The following discussion includes many forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions.

Overview
Historically, we established joint ventures and entered into operating and management agreements with our partners and acted as a distributor of hemp products processed by our contractors. We previously generated revenue from various sources on a "one-time basis" for services that we provided to clients in helping them obtain licenses, build out and open dispensaries and cultivation centers. Prior to 2017, we sold a line of portable vaporizers and accessories under the brand name Vaporfection. We discontinued these business operations in 2016 to focus on our current business in the industrial hemp industry.
Based upon our knowledge and expertise in the regulation of the industrial hemp industry, our business plan involves creating a sustainable business model to grow crops and manufacture products from hemp farmland and to market, sell, and distribute hemp derivative products such as CBD distillate and isolate, while exploring other business opportunities that complement our core business.
We operate through the following subsidiaries:
? EWSD I, LLC d/b/a Shi Farms , which cultivates and processes
industrial hemp at a 320-acre farm in Pueblo, Colorado ;
? NY - SHI LLC , which conducted our pilot study in New York and will
be our joint venture partner with Canbiola and Canbiola Sub;
? SHI Cooperative LLC , which will contract with third-party farmers to
cultivate hemp in, among other areas, Colorado , Nevada , and
Oklahoma ;
? Pueblo Agriculture Supply and Equipment, LLC , "PASE" which owns
dehydration equipment;
? SOCO Processing LLC , which will construct a pre-processing plant as
part of the Partner Farm Agreement and Supply Agreement with Mile
High ; and
? Rock Acquisition Corporation , which will manage land containing
potential sand and gravel assets in Pueblo, Colorado , under a mining
permit with the State of Colorado .

Management believes that our cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be
generated from operations, proceeds from current and future expected debt
issuances and proceeds from future share capital issuances, if any, may not be
sufficient to fund the Company's net cash requirements through
Our financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis. The going
concern basis assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable
future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in
the normal course of business. During the year ended
We will continue to execute on our business model by attempting to raise additional capital through the sales of debt or equity securities or other means. However, there is no guarantee that such financing will be available on terms or timing acceptable to us, or at all. If we are successful, we expect that these efforts could provide us with the necessary liquidity to continue operations at least through the first quarter of the fiscal year during which this Report has been filed. If we are unable to obtain adequate debt or equity financing, we may be forced to slow or reduce the scope of operations and proposed expansion, and our business would be materially affected. It is uncertain whether we can obtain financing to fund operating deficits until profitability is achieved or until revenues increase. This need may be adversely impacted by: unavailability of financing, uncertain market conditions, the success of the crop growing season, the demand for CBD oil, our ability to obtain financing for the equipment and labor needed to cultivate hemp and extract the CBD oil, and adverse operating results. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
