Organization and Business |
CannaVEST Corp. (formerly Foreclosure Solutions, Inc.) (the Company, we or us) is in the business of developing, producing, marketing and selling end consumer products to the nutraceutical industry containing the hemp plant extract, Cannabidiol (CBD), and reselling to third parties raw product acquired by us pursuant to our supply relationships in Europe. We seek to take advantage of an emerging worldwide trend to re-energize the production of industrial hemp and to foster its many uses for consumers. CBD is derived from hemp stalk and seed.
We were incorporated on December 9, 2010, in the state of Texas, to provide information on pre-foreclosure and foreclosed residential properties to homebuyers and real estate professionals on its website. However, the Company was not able to secure financing for this business plan and on November 16, 2012, the shareholders owning 6,979,900 of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock sold their shares in private transactions to four buyers. Commensurate with this transaction the former officer and director of the Company resigned and control of the Company changed. In addition, the Companys business offices moved from Dallas, Texas to Las Vegas, Nevada. On January 29, 2013, the Company amended its Certificate of Formation to change its name to CannaVEST Corp. and on March 14, 2013, the Company increased the size of its board of directors and elected three directors. On July 26, 2013 the Company reincorporated in the state of Delaware.
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets (the PhytoSPHERE Agreement) with PhytoSPHERE Systems, LLC (PhytoSPHERE) whereby upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the PhytoSPHERE Agreement, the Company acquired certain assets of PhytoSPHERE (the Transaction). The closing of the Transaction occurred on January 29, 2013. Throughout the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 5,825,000 shares of common stock and paid cash in the amount of $950,000 as payment for the assets acquired in the Transaction.
