| Price to Public | Commissions(1) | Proceeds to Company(2) | Proceeds to Other Persons(3) |
Per Unit | $0.015 | $0 | $0.015 | None |

(1)The Company has not presently engaged an underwriter for the sale of securities under this Offering.
(2)Does not reflect payment of expenses of this Offering, which are estimated to not exceed $25,000.00 and which include, among other things, legal fees, accounting costs, reproduction expenses, due diligence, marketing, consulting, administrative services other costs of blue-sky compliance, and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company selling the Shares. This amount represents the proceeds of the offering to the Company, which will be used as set out in “USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER.”
(3)There are no finder’s fees or other fees being paid to third parties from the proceeds. See “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.”
This Offering (the “Offering”) consists of Units that investors will be able to purchase. Each Unit is composed of one (1) share of Series B Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 500 shares of Common Stock. Since the Company is offering 35,000,000 Units, each Unit can potentially result in the issuance of 1,000 shares of Common Stock, upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the exercise of the warrant. In this regard, the Offering includes 35,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock into which the Series B may be converted and the Warrants exercised (the “Shares” or individually, each a “Share”). This is being offered on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be sold. The Shares are being offered and sold by Green Leaf Innovations, Inc., a Florida Corporation (the “Company”). We are offering up to 35,000,000 Units, each one of them containing 1 share of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $0.015 per Unit and a warrant to purchase an additional 500 Shares of Common Stock. This Offering has a minimum purchase of $1,000 per investor. We may waive the minimum purchase requirement on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. The Shares are being offered only by the Company on a best-efforts basis to an unlimited number of accredited investors and to an unlimited number of non-accredited investors subject to the limitations of Regulation A. Under Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A+, non-accredited, non-natural investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth). The maximum aggregate amount of the Shares that will be offered is 35,000,000 Units with a Maximum Offering Price of $525,000. There is no minimum number of Shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for this Offering to close.
The Series B Preferred Stock is not listed on any exchange and will not be listed on any exchange. Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Market Group, Inc. under the symbol “GRLF”. On May 7, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.0001.
The Shares are being offered pursuant to Regulation A of Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for Tier 1 offerings. The Shares will only be issued to purchasers who satisfy the requirements set forth in Regulation A. The offering is expected to expire on the first of: (i) all of the Shares offered are sold; or (ii) the close of business 365 days from the date of qualification by the Commission, unless sooner terminated or extended by the Company’s CEO. Pending each closing, payments for the Shares will be paid directly to the Company. Funds will be immediately transferred to the Company where they will be available for use in the operations of the Company’s business in a manner consistent with the “USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER” in this Offering Circular.

Forward Looking Statement Disclosure
This Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein contain forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current reasonable expectations and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as ‘anticipate,’ ‘estimate,’ ‘expect,’ ‘project,’ ‘plan,’ ‘intend,’ ‘believe,’ ‘may,’ ‘should,’ ‘can have,’ ‘likely’ and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein are based on reasonable assumptions the Company has made in light of its industry experience, perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect its actual operating and financial performance and cause its performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect or change, the Company’s actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward- looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this Form 1-A, Offering Circular or any documents incorporated by reference herein speaks only as of the date of this Form 1-A, Offering Circular or any documents incorporated by reference herein. Factors or events that could cause our actual operating and financial performance to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy the Shares only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted.

Investors should carefully consider the various risk factors below before investing in the Shares.
2
The purchase of the Shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to any other risks associated with this investment. The Shares offered by the Company constitute a highly speculative investment and you should be in an economic position to lose your entire investment. The risks listed do not necessarily comprise all those associated with an investment in the Shares and are not set out in any particular order of priority. Additional risks and uncertainties may also have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and your investment in the Shares. An investment in the Company may not be suitable for all recipients of this Offering Circular. You are advised to consult an independent professional adviser or attorney who specializes in investments of this kind before making any decision to invest. You should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is suitable in the light of your personal circumstances and the financial resources available to you.
The discussions and information in this Offering Circular may contain both historical and forward- looking statements. To the extent that the Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects, or any other aspect of the Company’s business, please be advised that the Company’s actual financial condition, operating results, and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by the Company in forward-looking statements. The Company has attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors it currently believes may cause actual future experience and results may differ from the Company’s current expectations.
Before investing, you should carefully read and carefully consider the following risk factors:
Risks Related to the Company and Its Business
We have a limited operating history.
Our operating history is limited. There can be no assurance that our proposed plan of business can be realized in the manner contemplated and, if it cannot be, shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment. There is no guarantee that we will ever realize any significant operating revenues or that our operations will ever be profitable.
We are dependent upon management, key personnel, and consultants to execute our business plan.
Our success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of our current management team, especially our current executive officer. Loss of this individual could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, our success and the achievement of our growth plans depends on our ability to recruit, hire, train, and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees among companies in our industry, and the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain, and motivate any additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of our activities, could have a materially adverse effect on our business. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel, consultants, and advisors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operations.
Although we are dependent upon certain key personnel, we do not have any key man life insurance policies on any such people.
We are dependent upon management in order to conduct our operations and execute our business plan; however, we have not purchased any insurance policies with respect to those individuals in the event of their death or disability. Therefore, should any of those key personnel, management, or founders die or become disabled, we will not receive any compensation that would assist with any such person’s absence. The loss of any such person could negatively affect our business and operations.
We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes.
Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe that our tax estimates will be reasonable: (i) there is no assurance that the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our income tax provisions, expense amounts for non-income based taxes and accruals and (ii) any material differences could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations in the period or periods for which determination is made.
3
We are not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulation and lack the financial controls and safeguards required of public companies.
We do not have the internal infrastructure necessary, and are not required to complete an attestation about our financial controls that would be required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There can be no assurances that there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of our financial controls. We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time if and when it becomes necessary to perform the system and process evaluation, testing, and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements.
We have engaged in certain transactions with related persons.
Please see the section of this offering circular entitled “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions”.
Changes in employment laws or regulation could harm our performance.
Various federal and state labor laws govern the Company’s relationship with our employees and affect operating costs, including labor laws of non-USA jurisdictions, specifically Canadian federal and provincial statutes. These laws may include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform and the implementation of various federal and state healthcare laws, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership and sales taxes. A number of factors could adversely affect our operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, changing regulations from the National Labor Relations Board and increased employee litigation including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Our bank accounts will not be fully insured.
The Company’s regular bank accounts and the escrow account for this Offering each have federal insurance that is limited to a certain amount of coverage. It is anticipated that the account balances in each account may exceed those limits at times. In the event that any of the Company’s banks should fail, we may not be able to recover all amounts deposited in these bank accounts.
Our business plan is speculative.
Our present business and planned business are speculative and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. There is no assurance that the Company will generate significant revenues or profits.
The Company will likely incur debt.
The Company has incurred debt in the past and expects to incur future debt in order to fund operations. Complying with obligations under such indebtedness may have a material adverse effect on the Company and on your investment.
Our expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues.
Our operating and other expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and on your investment. Factors which could increase operating and other expenses include, but are not limited to (1) increases in the rate of inflation, (2) increases in taxes and other statutory charges, (3) changes in laws, regulations or government policies which increase the costs of compliance with such laws, regulations or policies, (4) significant increases in insurance premiums, and (5) increases in borrowing costs.
Increased costs could negatively affect our business.
An increase in the cost of raw materials could affect the Company’s profitability. Commodity and other price changes may result in unexpected increases in the cost of raw materials. To date, the sourcing and availability of raw materials has not been problematic and does not pose a significant risk to the Company, but the Company may be adversely affected by shortages of raw materials and/or an increase in their cost. In addition, energy cost increases could result in higher transportation, freight and other operating costs. We may not be able to increase our prices to offset these
4
increased costs without suffering reduced volume, sales and operating profit, and this could have an adverse effect on your investment.
We may be unable to maintain or enhance our product image.
It is important that we maintain and enhance the image of our existing and new products. The image and reputation of the Company’s products may be impacted for various reasons, including litigation. Such concerns, even when unsubstantiated, could be harmful to the Company’s image and the reputation of its products. From time to time, the Company may receive complaints from customers regarding products purchased from the Company. The Company may in the future receive correspondence from customers requesting reimbursement. Certain dissatisfied customers may threaten legal action against the Company if no reimbursement is made. The Company may become subject to product liability lawsuits from customers alleging injury because of a purported defect in products sold by the Company, claiming substantial damages and demanding payments from the Company. The Company is in the chain of title when it manufactures, supplies or distributes products, and therefore is subject to the risk of being held legally responsible for them. These claims may not be covered by the Company’s insurance policies. Any resulting litigation could be costly for the Company, divert management attention, and could result in increased costs of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Any negative publicity generated as a result of customer complaints about the Company’s products could damage the Company’s reputation and diminish the value of the Company’s brand, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as your investment. Deterioration in the Company’s brand equity (brand image, reputation and product quality) may have a material adverse effect on its financial results as well as your investment.
If we are unable to protect our Intellectual Property effectively, we may be unable to operate our business.
Our success will depend on our ability to obtain and maintain meaningful Intellectual Property Protection for any such Intellectual Property. The names and/or logos of Company brands (whether owned by the Company or licensed to us) may be challenged by holders of trademarks who file opposition notices, or otherwise contest trademark applications by the Company for its brands. Similarly, domains owned and used by the Company may be challenged by others who contest the ability of the Company to use the domain name or URL. Such challenges could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results as well as your investment.
Computer, website, or information system breakdown could negatively affect our business.
Computer, website and/or information system breakdowns as well as cyber security attacks could impair the Company’s ability to service its customers leading to reduced revenue from sales and/or reputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results as well as your investment.
Changes in the economy could have a detrimental impact on the Company.
Changes in the general economic climate could have a detrimental impact on consumer expenditure and therefore on the Company’s revenue. It is possible that recessionary pressures and other economic factors (such as declining incomes, future potential rising interest rates, higher unemployment and tax increases) may adversely affect customers’ confidence and willingness to spend. Any of such events or occurrences could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results and on your investment.
Additional financing may be necessary for the implementation of our growth strategy.
The Company may require additional debt and/or equity financing to pursue our growth and business strategies. These include, but are not limited to enhancing our operating infrastructure and otherwise respond to competitive pressures. Given our limited operating history and existing losses, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available, or, if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us. Lack of additional funding could force us to curtail substantially our growth plans. Furthermore, the issuance by us of any additional securities pursuant to any future fundraising activities undertaken by us would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders and may reduce the price of our Shares.
5
Our operating plan relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by the Company. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, the Company’s actual operating results may be materially different from our forecasted results.
Whether actual operating results and business developments will be consistent with the Company’s expectations and assumptions as reflected in its forecast depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, including, but not limited to:
·whether the Company can obtain sufficient capital to sustain and grow its business
·our ability to manage the Company’s growth
·whether the Company can manage relationships with key vendors and advertisers
·demand for the Company’s products and services
·the timing and costs of new and existing marketing and promotional efforts and/or competition
·the Company’s ability to retain existing key management, to integrate recent hires and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel
·the overall strength and stability of domestic and international economies
·consumer spending habits
Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our operations may not be profitable.
The Company may not be able to generate significant revenues in the future. In addition, we expect to incur substantial operating expenses in order to fund the expansion of our business. As a result, we may experience substantial negative cash flow for at least the foreseeable future and cannot predict when, or even if, the Company might become profitable.
We may be unable to manage our growth or implement our expansion strategy.
We may not be able to expand the Company’s product and service offerings, the Company’s markets, or implement the other features of our business strategy at the rate or to the extent presently planned. The Company’s projected growth will place a significant strain on our administrative, operational and financial resources. If we are unable to successfully manage our future growth, establish and continue to upgrade our operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary personnel or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our business model is evolving.
Our business model is unproven and is likely to continue to evolve. Accordingly, our initial business model may not be successful and may need to be changed. Our ability to generate significant revenues will depend, in large part, on our ability to successfully market our products to potential users who may not be convinced of the need for our products and services or who may be reluctant to rely upon third parties to develop and provide these products. We intend to continue to develop our business model as the Company’s market continues to evolve.
The Company needs to increase Brand Awareness
Due to a variety of factors, our opportunity to achieve and maintain a significant market share may be limited. Developing and maintaining awareness of the Company’s brand name, among other factors, is critical. Further, the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in the Company’s market increases. Successfully promoting and positioning our brand, products and services will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Therefore, we may need to increase the Company’s financial commitment to create and maintain brand awareness. If we fail to successfully promote our brand name or if the Company incurs significant expenses promoting and maintaining our brand name, it will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
6
We face competition from a number of large and small companies, some of which have greater financial, research and development, production, and other resources than we do.
In many cases, our competitors have longer operating histories, established ties to the market and consumers, greater brand awareness, and greater financial, technical and marketing resources. Our ability to compete depends, in part, upon a number of factors outside of our control, including the ability of our competitors to develop alternatives that are superior. If we fail to successfully compete in the relevant markets, or if we incur significant expenses in order to compete, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Our employees may engage in misconduct or improper activities.
The Company, like any business, is exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include intentional failures to comply with laws or regulations, provide accurate information to regulators, comply with applicable standards, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to the Company. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Employee misconduct could also involve improper or illegal activities which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation.
Limitation on director liability.
The Company may provide for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and, to the extent permitted by such law, eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors to the Company and its shareholders for monetary damages for certain breaches of fiduciary duty. Such indemnification may be available for liabilities arising in connection with this Offering.
Our business is dependent upon suppliers.
While we have only recently begun developing and manufacturing our own products, we still heavily use other suppliers and other manufacturers to obtain our products. We have supply agreements with these suppliers and manufacturers. We continue to develop relationships and enter into agreements with manufacturers and suppliers. Nevertheless, we remain dependent upon a limited number of suppliers for our products and the dependability of these suppliers and manufacturers directly impact our ability to maintain inventory and distribute our products. Although we do not anticipate difficulty in obtaining adequate inventory at competitive prices, we can offer no assurance that such difficulties will not arise. The extent to which supply disruption will affect us remains uncertain. Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of raw materials at competitive prices would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to this Offering and Investment
We may undertake additional equity or debt financing that would dilute the shares in this offering.
The Company may undertake further equity or debt financing, which may be dilutive to existing shareholders, including you, or result in an issuance of securities whose rights, preferences and privileges are senior to those of existing shareholders, including you, and also reducing the value of Shares subscribed for under this Offering.
An investment in the Shares is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.
An investment in the Company’s Shares is speculative, and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.
The Shares are offered on a “Best Efforts” basis and we may not raise the Maximum Amount being offered.
Since we are offering the Units on a “best efforts” basis, there is no assurance that we will sell enough Units to meet our capital needs. If you purchase Shares in this Offering, you will do so without any assurance that we will raise enough money to satisfy the full Use Of Proceeds To Issuer which we have outlined in this Offering Circular or to meet our working capital needs.
7
If the maximum offering is not raised, it may increase the amount of long-term debt or the amount of additional equity we need to raise.
There is no assurance that the maximum number of Units in this Offering will be sold. If the maximum Offering amount is not sold, we may need to incur additional debt or raise additional equity in order to finance our operations. Increasing the amount of debt will increase our debt service obligations and make less cash available for distribution to our shareholders. Increasing the amount of additional equity that we will have to seek in the future will further dilute those investors participating in this Offering.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, so any return on investment may be limited to the value of our shares.
We have never paid cash dividends on our Shares and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Shares will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time that management may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Shares may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.
We may not be able to obtain additional financing.
Even if we are successful in selling the maximum number of Units in the Offering, we may require additional funds to continue and grow our business. We may not be able to obtain additional financing as needed, on acceptable terms, or at all, which would force us to delay our plans for growth and implementation of our strategy which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we need additional funds, we may seek to obtain them primarily through additional equity or debt financings. Those additional financings could result in dilution to our current shareholders and to you if you invest in this Offering.
The offering price has been arbitrarily determined.
The offering price of the Units has been arbitrarily established by us based upon our present and anticipated financing needs and bears no relationship to our present financial condition, assets, book value, projected earnings, or any other generally accepted valuation criteria. The offering price of the Shares may not be indicative of the value of the Shares or the Company, now or in the future.
The management of the Company has broad discretion in application of proceeds.
The management of the Company has broad discretion to adjust the application and allocation of the net proceeds of this offering in order to address changed circumstances and opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the management of the Company with respect to the application and allocation of the net proceeds hereof.
An investment in our Shares could result in a loss of your entire investment.
An investment in the Company’s Shares offered in this Offering involves a high degree of risk and you should not purchase the Shares if you cannot afford the loss of your entire investment. You may not be able to liquidate your investment for any reason in the near future.
There is no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends to our Shareholders.
While we may choose to pay dividends at some point in the future to our shareholders, there can be no assurance that cash flow and profits will allow such distributions to ever be made.
Issuances of Conversion Shares in this offering will reduce the cash proceeds we are able to obtain.
To the extent the holders of the Subject Convertible Notes elect to convert their notes into Offered Shares, the total amount of cash that we will be able to obtain in this offering would be reduced. Should we become obligated to issue a significant number of Conversion Shares, our inability to offer and sell such issued Offered Shares for cash could have a negative effect on our business and operating results. However, no prediction can be made, in this regard.
8
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our stock may cause the price of our stock to decline.
If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our Shares in the public market, Shares sold may cause the price to decrease below the current offering price. These sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity related securities at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
We have made assumptions in our projections and in Forward-Looking Statements that may not be accurate.
The discussions and information in this Offering Circular may contain both historical and “forward- looking statements” which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including the terms “believes,” “anticipates,” “continues,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular, based on past trends or activities, should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. To the extent that the Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects, or any other aspect of our business, please be advised that our actual financial condition, operating results, and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us. We have attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from our current expectations. The differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, lack of market acceptance, reduction of consumer demand, unexpected costs and operating deficits, lower sales and revenues than forecast, default on leases or other indebtedness, loss of suppliers, loss of supply, loss of distribution and service contracts, price increases for capital, supplies and materials, inadequate capital, inability to raise capital or financing, failure to obtain customers, loss of customers, the risk of litigation and administrative proceedings involving the Company or its employees, loss of government licenses and permits or failure to obtain them, higher than anticipated labor costs, the possible acquisition of new businesses or products that result in operating losses or that do not perform as anticipated, resulting in unanticipated losses, the possible fluctuation and volatility of the Company’s operating results and financial condition, adverse publicity and news coverage, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives, changes in interest rates, inflationary factors, and other specific risks that may be referred to in this Offering Circular or in other reports issued by us or by third-party publishers.
You should be aware of the long-term nature of this investment.
Because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or non-United States jurisdiction, the Shares may have certain transfer restrictions. It is not currently contemplated that registration under the Securities Act or other securities laws will be effected. Limitations on the transfer of the Shares may also adversely affect the price that you might be able to obtain for the Shares in a private sale. You should be aware of the long-term nature of your investment in the Company. You will be required to represent that you are purchasing the Securities for your own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof.
The Shares in this Offering have no protective provisions.
The Shares in this Offering have no protective provisions. As such, you will not be afforded protection by any provision of the Shares or as a Shareholder in the event of a transaction that may adversely affect you, including a reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction involving the Company. If there is a ‘liquidation event’ or ‘change of control’ the Shares being offered do not provide you with any protection. In addition, there are no provisions attached to the Shares in the Offering that would permit you to require the Company to repurchase the Shares in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
You will not have significant influence on the management of the Company.
Substantially all decisions with respect to the management of the Company will be made exclusively by the officers, directors, managers or employees of the Company. You will have a very limited ability, if at all, to vote on issues of Company management and will not have the right or power to take part in the management of the Company and will not be represented on the board of directors or by managers of the Company. Accordingly, no person should purchase Shares unless he or she is willing to entrust all aspects of management to the Company.
9
There is no guarantee of any return on your investment.
There is no assurance that you will realize a return on your investment or that you will not lose your entire investment. For this reason, you should read this Offering Circular and all exhibits and referenced materials carefully and should consult with your own attorney and business advisor prior to making any investment decision.
Our Subscription Agreement identifies the state of Florida for purposes of governing law.
The Company’s Subscription Agreement for shares issued under this Offering contains a choice of law provision stating, “all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Offering Circular, including, without limitation, this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.” As such, excepting matters arising under federal securities laws, any disputes arising between the Company and shareholders acquiring shares under this offering shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the state of Florida. Furthermore, the Subscription Agreement establishes the state and federal courts located in Florida as having jurisdiction over matters arising between the Company and shareholders.
These provisions may discourage shareholder lawsuits or limit shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum in disputes with the Company and its directors, officers, or other employees.
IN ADDITION TO THE RISKS LISTED ABOVE, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY THE MANAGEMENT. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FORESEE ALL RISKS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY. MOREOVER, THE COMPANY CANNOT PREDICT WHETHER THE COMPANY WILL SUCCESSFULLY EFFECTUATE THE COMPANY’S CURRENT BUSINESS PLAN. EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY ANALYZE THE RISKS AND MERITS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES AND SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN MAKING SUCH ANALYSIS, AMONG OTHER FACTORS, THE RISK FACTORS DISCUSSED ABOVE.
10
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
We are offering Units, each Unit containing 1 Series B Preferred Share and a warrant to purchase an additional 500 shares of Common Stock, each Unit at a price of $0.015. The Offering Price has been arbitrarily determined and is not meant to reflect a valuation of the Company.
The term ‘dilution’ refers to the reduction (as a percentage of the aggregate Shares outstanding) that occurs for any given share of stock when additional Shares are issued. If all the Units in this Offering are fully subscribed and sold, the Shares offered herein will constitute approximately 60% of the total Shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company. The Company anticipates that, subsequent to this Offering, the Company may require additional capital and such capital may take the form of Common Stock, other stock or securities or debt convertible into stock. Such future fund raising will further dilute the percentage ownership of the Shares sold herein in the Company.
If you purchase Units in this Offering, your economic interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, after this Offering.
As of December 31, 2024, the net tangible book value of the Company was $(1,059,782). Historical net tangible book value equals the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified. Net tangible book value per share is an estimate based on the net tangible book value as of December 31, 2024 and 14,827,163,745 of Common Stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis) as of the date of this Offering Circular.
The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale and subsequent conversion to Common Stock of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Series B Preferred Shares offered for sale in this Offering (before deducting our estimated offering expenses of $25,000):
Funding Level | 100% | 75% | 50% | 25% | ||||
Gross Proceeds | $ | 525,000 | $ | 393,750 | $ | 262,500 | $ | 131,250 |
Offering Price | $ | 0.00002 | $ | 0.00002 | $ | 0.00002 | $ | 0.00002 |
Net Tangible Book Value per Share of Common Stock before this Offering | $ | (0.000071) | $ | (0.000071) | $ | (0.000071) | $ | (0.000071) |
Increase in Net Tangible Book Value per Share Attributable to New Investors in this Offering | $ | 0.000061 | $ | 0.000055 | $ | 0.000047 | $ | 0.000032 |
Net Tangible Book Value per Share of Common Stock after this Offering | $ | (0.000011) | $ | (0.000016) | $ | (0.000025) | $ | (0.000039) |
Dilution per share to Investors in the Offering | $ | (0.000026) | $ | (0.000031) | $ | (0.000040) | $ | (0.000054) |
There is no material disparity between the price of the Shares in this Offering and the effective cash cost to officers, directors, promoters and affiliated persons for shares acquired by them in a transaction during the past year, or that they have a right to acquire.
11
We are offering a Maximum Offering of up to $525,000 in Units. The offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis without any minimum number of shares or amount of proceeds required to be sold. There is no minimum subscription amount required (other than a per investor minimum purchase) to distribute funds to the Company. The Company will not initially sell the Shares through commissioned broker-dealers, but may do so after the commencement of the offering. Any such arrangement will add to our expenses in connection with the offering. If we engage one or more commissioned sales agents or underwriters, we will supplement this Form 1-A to describe the arrangement. Subscribers have no right to a return of their funds. The Company may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion, and may extend the Offering past the termination date of 365 days from the date of qualification by the Commission in the absolute discretion of the Company and in accordance with the rules and provisions of Regulation A of the JOBS Act. None of the Shares being sold in this Offering are being sold by existing securities holders.
After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Shares. No escrow agent is involved and the Company will receive the proceeds directly from any subscription. You will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest.
All subscription agreements and checks received by the Company for the purchase of shares are irrevocable until accepted or rejected by the Company and should be delivered to the Company as provided in the subscription agreement. A subscription agreement executed by a subscriber is not binding on the Company until it is accepted on our behalf by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or by specific resolution of our board of directors. Any subscription not accepted within 30 days will be automatically deemed rejected.

The Company, by determination of the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may issue the Securities under this Offering for cash, promissory notes, services, and/or other consideration without notice to subscribers.
At this time no broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), is being engaged as an underwriter or for any other purpose in connection with this Offering. This Offering will commence on the qualification of this Offering Circular, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and continue for a period of 365 days.

Investor suitability standards in certain states may be higher than those described in this Form 1-A and/or Offering Circular. These standards represent minimum suitability requirements for prospective investors, and the satisfaction of such standards does not necessarily mean that an investment in the Company is suitable for such persons. Different rules apply to accredited investors.
Each investor must represent in writing that he/she/it meets the applicable requirements set forth above and in the Subscription Agreement, including, among other things, that (i) he/she/it is purchasing the shares for his/her/its own account and (ii) he/she/it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she/it is capable of evaluating without outside assistance the merits and risks of investing in the shares, or he/she/it and his/her/its purchaser representative together have such knowledge and experience that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the shares. Broker-dealers and other persons participating in the offering must make a
12
reasonable inquiry in order to verify an investor’s suitability for an investment in the Company. Transferees of the shares will be required to meet the above suitability standards.
The Units may not be offered, sold, transferred, or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any person who (i) is named on the list of “specially designated nationals” or “blocked persons” maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) at www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn or as otherwise published from time to time, (ii) an agency of the government of a Sanctioned Country, (iii) an organization controlled by a Sanctioned Country, or (iv) is a person residing in a Sanctioned Country, to the extent subject to a sanctions program administered by OFAC.

OTC Markets Considerations
The OTC Markets is separate and distinct from the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq stock market or other national exchange. Neither the New York Stock Exchange nor Nasdaq has a business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Markets. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets.
Although other national stock markets have rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of their issuers and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards; the OTC Markets has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files.
Investors may have greater difficulty in getting orders filled than if we were on Nasdaq or other exchanges. Trading activity in general is not conducted as efficiently and effectively on OTC Markets as with exchange-listed securities. Also, because OTC Markets stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq-listed securities.
The Use of Proceeds is an estimate based on the Company’s current business plan. We may find it necessary or advisable to reallocate portions of the net proceeds reserved for one category to another, or to add additional categories, and we will have broad discretion in doing so.
The maximum gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this Offering are $525,000. The net proceeds from the offering, assuming it is fully subscribed, are expected to be approximately $525,000 after the payment of offering costs such as printing, mailing, marketing, legal and accounting costs, and other compliance and professional fees that may be incurred. The estimate of the budget for offering costs is an estimate only and the actual offering costs may differ from those expected by management.
Management of the Company has wide latitude and discretion in the use of proceeds from this Offering. At present, management’s best estimate of the use of proceeds, at various funding milestones, is set out in the chart below. However, potential investors should note that this chart contains only the best estimates of the Company’s management based upon information available to them at the present time, and that the actual use of proceeds is likely to vary from this chart based upon circumstances as they exist in the future, various needs of the Company at different times in the future, and the discretion of the Company’s management at all times.
A portion of the proceeds from this Offering may be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to officers or directors of the issuer. The officers and directors of the Company may be paid salaries and receive benefits that are commensurate with similar companies, and a portion of the proceeds may be used to pay these ongoing business expenses.

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.
In the event we do not sell all the Units being offered, we may seek additional financing from other sources in order to support the intended use of proceeds indicated above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this Offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available to us when wanted or needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.
The allocation of the use of proceeds among the categories of anticipated expenditures represents management’s best estimates based on the current status of the Company’s proposed operations, plans, investment objectives, capital requirements, and financial conditions. No assurances can be provided that any milestone represented herein will be achieved. Future events, including changes in economic or competitive conditions of our business plan or the completion of less than the total Offering amount, may cause the Company to modify the above-described allocation of proceeds. The Company’s use of proceeds may vary significantly in the event any of the Company’s assumptions prove inaccurate. We reserve the right to change the allocation of net proceeds from the Offering as unanticipated events or opportunities arise. Additionally, the Company may from time to time need to raise more capital to address future needs.
The Company reserves the right to change the use of proceeds set out herein based on the needs of the ongoing business of the Company and the discretion of the Company’s management.

Plan of Operations
Our primary business is the manufacturing of handmade premium cigars from our factory in Esteli Nicaragua. The company strategically imports and distributes its brands and private label brands to cigar lounges, smoke shops, C-stores and vape shops across the United States. In addition to it also procuring, financing, processing, packing, storing, and shipping leaf tobacco for sale to manufacturers of consumer tobacco products. Procuring leaf tobacco involves contracting with, providing agronomy support to and financing farmers in many origins. We do not manufacture cigarettes or other than certain “roll-your-own” and handmade cigars for consumer tobacco products. We support consumer product manufacturers such as handmade cigar factories by selling them processed leaf tobacco and performing related services for them. Through various operating subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates located in tobacco-growing origins around the world, we contract, purchase, process and sell dark air-cured tobaccos, these are used mainly in the manufacture of cigars, natural wrapped cigars, cigarillos, loose leaf, smokeless, and pipe tobacco products.
Several important operating factors characterize our company and our primary business, including:
·Experience dealing with large numbers of farmers and cigar distribution channels,
·Expertise in delivering a sustainable supply of compliant, traceable, competitively-priced cigars and leaf tobacco,
·Capability to meet unique customer requirements for style, volume and quality,
·Longstanding customer, farmer and community relationships, and
·Presence in all major leaf tobacco sourcing areas.
In addition to our leaf tobacco business, we are continually evaluating prospects for the acquisition of other smaller-scale tobacco and agribusiness opportunities. We can utilize our assets and capabilities and deliver value to our shareholders. We consider adjacencies to be industries and markets where we can leverage our strengths such as country knowledge, agricultural expertise, and complex grower and logistic network management. A potential investment might involve high-value, non-commodity, or crop-based agricultural products requiring value added handling or processing.
With respect to our handmade cigar and leaf tobacco business, we generate our revenues from product sales of high quality cigars and wrapper leaf individually selected, sealed and packed to be distributed to the Cigar Lounges, C-Store Market and gas station category in the U.S and other countries, in addition to it we also source and cure process dark air tobacco and sell it from our Nicaraguan facility to cigar factories and distributors in Nicaragua, Dominican republic and Honduras in bail units packed tobacco. We plan to engage in the processing of flue-cured and burley tobaccos in the near future.
We conduct our business in varying degrees in a number of countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Honduras, Indonesia and the United States.
Because unprocessed, or “green,” leaf tobacco is a perishable product, timely processing is an essential service to our customers. Our processing of leaf tobacco includes grading at the processing plant, removal of non-tobacco material, separation of leaf from the stems, drying, packing to precise moisture targets for proper aging, as well as temporary storage. This generally requires investments in personal and machinery. Processed tobacco that has been properly
15
packed can be stored by customers for a number of years prior to use, but most processed tobacco is used within two to three years.
We believe that our leading position in the leaf tobacco industry will be based on our quality control and volumes handled, our operating presence in all of the six major sourcing areas, our ability to meet customer style, volume, and quality requirements, our expertise in dealing with large numbers of farmers, our long-standing relationships with customers, our development of processing equipment and technologies and our financial position. The efficiencies that we offer our customers, due to our established network of operational expertise and infrastructure on the ground and our ability to market most styles and grades of leaf to a diverse customer base, are also key to our success.
Sales are made by our sales force and, to a much smaller degree, through the use of commissioned agents. Most customers are long-established tobacco product manufacturers. Customer contract arrangements vary around the world and include negotiated pricing as well as cost plus arrangements. Discussions of a customer’s longer-term needs may begin as early as one to two years in advance of a particular crop purchase. These discussions are key to our future crop production planning. Prior to planting each year, we use early customer indications for type, style, processing, and volume requirements for the upcoming season’s crop to help us determine our farmer contracting and grower input needs in our origins. We work with our farmers and customers continually throughout the crop season. As crops progress through the growing season, customers will inspect the crop, and a customer’s early indications may be refined based upon emerging crop qualities and quantities and market pricing expectations. Ultimately, purchase agreements specifying quantity, quality, grade and price are executed, leading to inventory allocations of harvested green or processed leaf that we have acquired.
In the majority of the countries where we operate, we contract directly with tobacco farmers or tobacco farmer cooperatives.
In most countries outside the United States, we advance seed or seedlings, fertilizer, and other agricultural inputs to farmers. These advances are repaid by farmers with the tobacco they produce. We are dedicated to promoting a sustainable farmer base and provide our farmers with agronomy support. Our Good Agricultural Practices programs educate farmers in such matters as the reduction of non-tobacco related materials, product traceability, environmental sustainability, agricultural labor standards, and social responsibility.
Our foreign operations are subject to international business risks, including unsettled political conditions, expropriation, import and export restrictions, exchange controls, and currency fluctuations. During the tobacco season in many of the countries listed above, we advance funds, guarantee local loans, or do both, each in substantial amounts, for the eventual purchase of tobacco.
The majority of these seasonal advances and loan guarantees mature in one year or less upon the farmers’ delivery of contracted tobaccos. Most advances to farmers are denominated in local currency, which is a source of foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Most tobacco sales are effected in U.S. dollars, which reduces our foreign currency exchange risk after the tobacco has been purchased.
Seasonality
Our operations are seasonal in nature. Tobacco in Brazil is usually purchased from January through July, while buying in Ecuador would be November, December.
We normally operate each of our processing plants for seven to nine months of the year. During this period for each region, inventories of green tobacco, inventories of processed tobacco, and trade accounts receivable normally reach peak levels in succession
.
We normally finance this expansion of current assets with cash, short-term borrowings from banks, and customer advances, and these funding sources normally reach their peak usage in each region during its respective purchasing or processing period. Our balance sheet at our fiscal year end reflects seasonal expansions in working capital in South America and Central America. Our financial performance is also impacted by the seasonality of our business. Due to global tobacco growing cycles, as well as customer shipment preferences, we typically ship a larger portion of our volumes in the second half of our fiscal year. Changes in customer shipment schedules or changes in crop timing in a season can shift recognition of revenue in a given fiscal year or between fiscal years.
16
Customers
A material part of our business is dependent upon quite a few customers such as cigar lounges around the world and also cigar factories in three different countries and a few distributors for handmade cigars and bulk tobacco purchasing, also tens of thousands of C-store and gas station outlets in the U.S and other countries for cigars and individually packaged leaves in a carton.

Our business is subject to general governmental regulation in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions where we conduct business.

Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Company available for dividends such sums as the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, deems proper as a reserve for working capital, to meet contingencies, for equalizing dividends, for repairing or maintaining any property of the Company, or for such other purposes as the Board of Directors shall deem in the best interests of the Company.
Because this is a best-efforts offering, there is no minimum number of Units that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for this Offering to hold its first closing.
The minimum subscription that will be accepted from an investor $1,000 (the ‘Minimum Subscription’).
The Company reserves the unqualified discretionary right to reject any subscription for Shares, in whole or in part. The Company reserves the unqualified discretionary right to accept any subscription for Shares, in an amount less than the Minimum Subscription.

The Series B Preferred Stock will not be subject to further calls or assessment by the Company.

DISQUALIFYING EVENTS DISCLOSURE
Recent changes to Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act prohibit an issuer from claiming an exemption from registration of its securities under such rule if the issuer, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer participating in the offering of the interests, general partner or managing member of the issuer, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the voting power of the issuer’s outstanding voting equity securities, any promoter connected with the issuer in any capacity as of the date hereof, any investment manager of the issuer, any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with such sale of the issuer’s interests, any general partner or managing member of any such investment manager or solicitor, or any director, executive officer or other officer participating in the offering of any such investment manager or solicitor or general partner or managing member of such investment manager or solicitor has been subject to certain “Disqualifying Events” described in Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D subsequent to September 23, 2013, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Company is required to exercise reasonable care in conducting an inquiry to determine whether any such persons have been subject to such Disqualifying Events and is required to disclose any Disqualifying Events that occurred prior to September 23, 2013 to investors in the Company. The Company believes that it has exercised reasonable care in conducting an inquiry into Disqualifying Events by the foregoing persons and is aware of the no such Disqualifying Events.
It is possible that (a) Disqualifying Events may exist of which the Company is not aware and (b) the SEC, a court or other finder of fact may determine that the steps that the Company has taken to conduct its inquiry were inadequate and did not constitute reasonable care. If such a finding were made, the Company may lose its ability to rely upon exemptions under Regulation A, and, depending on the circumstances, may be required to register the Offering of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock with the SEC and under applicable state securities laws or to conduct a rescission offer with respect to the securities sold in the Offering.
Trustees and other fiduciaries of qualified retirement plans or IRAs that are set up as part of a plan sponsored and maintained by an employer, as well as trustees and fiduciaries of Keogh Plans under which employees, in addition to self-employed individuals, are participants (together, “ERISA Plans”), are governed by the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). An investment in the Shares by an ERISA Plan must be made in accordance with the general obligation of fiduciaries under ERISA to discharge their duties (i) for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries; (ii) with the same standard of care that would be exercised by a prudent man familiar with such matters acting under similar circumstances; (iii) in such a manner as to diversify the investments of the plan, unless it is clearly prudent not do so; and (iv) in accordance with the documents establishing the plan. Fiduciaries considering an investment in the Shares should accordingly consult their own legal advisors if they have any concern as to whether the investment would be inconsistent with any of these criteria.
Fiduciaries of certain ERISA Plans which provide for individual accounts (for example, those which qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code, Keogh Plans and IRAs) and which permit a beneficiary to exercise independent control over the assets in his individual account, will not be liable for any investment loss or for any breach of the prudence or diversification obligations which results from the exercise of such control by the beneficiary, nor will the beneficiary be deemed to be a fiduciary subject to the general fiduciary obligations merely by virtue of his exercise of such control. On October 13, 1992, the Department of Labor issued regulations establishing criteria for determining whether the extent of a beneficiary’s independent control over the assets in his account is adequate to relieve the ERISA Plan’s fiduciaries of their obligations with respect to an investment directed by the beneficiary. Under the regulations, the beneficiary must not only exercise actual, independent control in directing the particular investment transaction, but also the ERISA Plan must give the participant or beneficiary a reasonable opportunity to exercise such control, and must permit him to choose among a broad range of investment alternatives.
24
Trustees and other fiduciaries making the investment decision for any qualified retirement plan, IRA or Keogh Plan (or beneficiaries exercising control over their individual accounts) should also consider the application of the prohibited transactions provisions of ERISA and the Code in making their investment decision. Sales and certain other transactions between a qualified retirement plan, IRA or Keogh Plan and certain persons related to it (e.g., a plan sponsor, fiduciary, or service provider) are prohibited transactions. The particular facts concerning the sponsorship, operations and other investments of a qualified retirement plan, IRA or Keogh Plan may cause a wide range of persons to be treated as parties in interest or disqualified persons with respect to it. Any fiduciary, participant or beneficiary considering an investment in Shares by a qualified retirement plan IRA or Keogh Plan should examine the individual circumstances of that plan to determine that the investment will not be a prohibited transaction. Fiduciaries, participants or beneficiaries considering an investment in the Shares should consult their own legal advisors if they have any concern as to whether the investment would be a prohibited transaction.
Regulations issued on November 13, 1986, by the Department of Labor (the “Final Plan Assets Regulations”) provide that when an ERISA Plan or any other plan covered by Code Section 4975 (e.g., an IRA or a Keogh Plan which covers only self-employed persons) makes an investment in an equity interest of an entity that is neither a “publicly offered security” nor a security issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the underlying assets of the entity in which the investment is made could be treated as assets of the investing plan (referred to in ERISA as “plan assets”). Programs which are deemed to be operating companies or which do not issue more than 25% of their equity interests to ERISA Plans are exempt from being designated as holding “plan assets.” Management anticipates that we would clearly be characterized as “operating” for the purposes of the regulations, and that it would therefore not be deemed to be holding “plan assets.”
Classification of our assets as “plan assets” could adversely affect both the plan fiduciary and management. The term “fiduciary” is defined generally to include any person who exercises any authority or control over the management or disposition of plan assets. Thus, classification of our assets as plan assets could make the management a “fiduciary” of an investing plan. If our assets are deemed to be plan assets of investor plans, transactions which may occur in the course of its operations may constitute violations by the management of fiduciary duties under ERISA. Violation of fiduciary duties by management could result in liability not only for management but also for the trustee or other fiduciary of an investing ERISA Plan. In addition, if our assets are classified as “plan assets,” certain transactions that we might enter into in the ordinary course of our business might constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA and the Code.
Under Code Section 408(i), as amended by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, IRA trustees must report the fair market value of investments to IRA holders by January 31 of each year. The Service has not yet promulgated regulations defining appropriate methods for the determination of fair market value for this purpose. In addition, the assets of an ERISA Plan or Keogh Plan must be valued at their “current value” as of the close of the plan’s fiscal year in order to comply with certain reporting obligations under ERISA and the Code. For purposes of such requirements, “current value” means fair market value where available. Otherwise, current value means the fair value as determined in good faith under the terms of the plan by a trustee or other named fiduciary, assuming an orderly liquidation at the time of the determination. We do not have an obligation under ERISA or the Code with respect to such reports or valuation although management will use good faith efforts to assist fiduciaries with their valuation reports. There can be no assurance, however, that any value so established (i) could or will actually be realized by the IRA, ERISA Plan or Keogh Plan upon sale of the Shares or upon liquidation of us, or (ii) will comply with the ERISA or Code requirements.
The income earned by a qualified pension, profit sharing or stock bonus plan (collectively, “Qualified Plan”) and by an individual retirement account (“IRA”) is generally exempt from taxation. However, if a Qualified Plan or IRA earns “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”), this income will be subject to tax to the extent it exceeds $1,000 during any fiscal year. The amount of unrelated business taxable income in excess of $1,000 in any fiscal year will be taxed at rates up to 36%. In addition, such unrelated business taxable income may result in a tax preference, which may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. It is anticipated that income and gain from an investment in the Shares will not be taxed as UBTI to tax exempt shareholders, because they are participating only as passive financing sources.
25
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, and any other restrictions, holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds. We and our predecessors have not declared any dividends in the past. Further, we do not presently contemplate that there will be any future payment of any dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of this Offering, assuming the maximum amount of Units offered in this Offering are sold, there will be 35,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. Our Series B Preferred Stock is not currently listed on any exchange, nor do we expect it to be listed on any exchange. Assuming the full conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants included in each Unit, there will be 49,827,163,745shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited market for our Common Stock on the OTC Markets. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into our Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this Offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing at that time.
Rule 144
In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least twelve months, in the event we are a reporting company under Regulation A, or at least six months, in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:
·1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; or
·the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;
provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

GREEN LEAF INNOVATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ending December 31, 2024
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Basis Of Presentation
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Use Of Estimates
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification Of Prior Period Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Cash And Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable And Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
Trade receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less the allowance for doubtful accounts, as needed. Factors used to establish an allowance include the credit quality of the customer and whether the balance is significant. The Company may also use the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts that are not received. Using the direct write-off method, trade receivable balances are written off to bad debt expense when an account balance is deemed to be uncollectible. The Company believes that all accounts receivable are collectable as of December 31, 2024.
Inventories
Inventories are measured using the first-in, first-out method.
Cash Flows Reporting
The Company follows ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Related party transactions are summarized in Note 8.
F-5
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the inception of the lease initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. ASU 2016-02 requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost that is calculated as a total cost of the lease allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. The Company did not have any leases within the scope of ASU 2016-02 at December 31, 2024.
Concentrations Of Credit Risk And Significant Customers
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and restricted cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions in bank deposits, money market funds, U.S. government securities and other investment grade debt securities that have strong credit ratings. The Company has established guidelines relative to diversification of its cash and marketable securities and their maturities that are intended to secure safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates and changes in the Company’s operations and financial position. Although the Company may deposit its cash and cash equivalents with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
Level 3 | Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Derivative Liabilities
Derivative liabilities include the fair value of instruments such as common stock warrants, preferred stock warrants and convertible features of notes, that are initially recorded at fair value and are required to be re-measured to fair value at each reporting period under provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The change in fair value of the instruments is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the Company’s statements of operations until the instruments settle, expire or are no longer classified as derivative liabilities. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value include the exercise price, volatility of the stock underlying the instrument, risk-free interest rate, estimated fair value of the stock underlying the instrument and the estimated life of the instrument.
F-6
As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had Level 3 financial instruments consisting of derivative liabilities relating to the conversion feature of convertible debt. The balance of the derivative liability at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $639,252 and $62,342 respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. ASC 606, has a five-step process: a) Determine whether a contract exists; b) Identify the performance obligations; c) Determine the transaction price; d) Allocate the transaction price; and e) Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
·Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and the parties are committed to perform, and (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for goods or services that will be transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.
·Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the goods or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, we apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
·Determination of the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. Constraints are applied when estimating variable considerations based on historical experience where applicable.
·Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
All current contracts are of a single performance obligation thus the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. We determine standalone selling price taking into account available information such as historical selling prices of the performance obligation, geographic location, overall strategic objective, market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligation.
·Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligation
We satisfy performance obligations either over time or at a point in time as discussed in further detail below. Revenue is recognized at or over the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to a customer.
Revenue for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $2,366,955 and $199,701 respectively. The performance obligation has been met as per ASC 606.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future
F-7
taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices as of December 31, 2024.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences will become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unused net operating loss carry forwards of $1,403,596 available to reduce federal taxable income. The Company’s ability to offset future taxable income, if any, with tax net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due to the non-filing of tax returns. Under the CARES act, net operating losses arising after 2017 are able to be carried forward indefinitely. Furthermore, changes in ownership may result in limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.
Share-Based Expense
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Share-based expense was $1,100,000 and $0 for the six months ending December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
F-8
Commitments And Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no known commitments or contingencies as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
3. Accrued Compensation
The Company’s accrued compensation consisted of the following:
|
| December 31, 2024 |
| December 31, 2023 |
Roberto Mederos | $ | 1,330,936 | $ | 1,264,656 |
Total Accrued Compensation | $ | 1,330,936 | $ | 1,264,656 |
4. Convertible Notes Payable
At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had issued $127,452 and $27,500 in convertible notes payable, respectively. All notes have an interest rate of 10% per annum and maturity dates between November 2, 2024 and November 21, 2025. Default terms are not defined within the notes.
The holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this note, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest amount into Common Stock. The conversion is set at a price equal to lower of 75% of the average of the trading price on the date prior to the funding of the note and 60% of the lowest trading price during the 15 trading days period ending on the last complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The convertible notes are currently not in repayment as of the date of this report and are accruing interest per the terms of each individual note. Total accrued interest on all convertible notes is disclosed in the table below. Although certain notes have maturity dates prior to the date of this report, the notes are not in default. There is not a default clause associated with any note that has a maturity date prior to this report.
The Company accounts for this embedded conversion feature as a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83 and valued separately from the note at fair value. The embedded conversion feature of the note is revalued at each subsequent reporting date at fair value and any changes in fair value will result in a gain or loss in those periods. On December 31, 2024, the derivative liability associated with all convertible note payable was $639,252.
Convertible Notes payable consisted of the following:
| December 31, 2024 |

III.CONVERSION
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a)Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into 500 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.
(b)Mechanics of Conversion.
i.Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Series A Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance
3
with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock.
ii.Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series A Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series A Conversion Price.
iii.Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Article III and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for shareholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.
iv.Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article III. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(c)Adjustments to Series A Preferred.
i.Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable on the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on such reorganization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately before such reorganization, reclassification, or change.
ii.Sales, Reorganizations, Mergers or Consolidations. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity, the sale, transfer or other
4
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another person or the sale, transfer or other disposition of securities of the Corporation representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Corporation, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable on conversion of Series A Preferred Stock would have been entitled on such consolidation, merger or sale on the same basis as set forth herein.

Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for shareholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock accordingly.
iv.Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article III. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(f)Adjustments to Series B Preferred.
i.Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable on the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise, then and in each such event the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on such reorganization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately before such reorganization, reclassification, or change.
ii.Sales, Reorganizations, Mergers or Consolidations. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity, the sale, transfer or other
8
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another person or the sale, transfer or other disposition of securities of the Corporation representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Corporation, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable on conversion of Series B Preferred Stock would have been entitled on such consolidation, merger or sale on the same basis as set forth herein.
(g)Conversion Limitations. In no event shall the Holder, or any future Holder, be entitled to convert any portion of the Series B Preferred in excess of that portion of the Series B Preferred upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Series B Preferred or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion of exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the Series B Preferred with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company at any given time. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.
IV.RANK
All shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank (i) junior to the Corporation's Series A Preferred stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created, except as otherwise provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Article IV, (ii) pari passu with the Corporation’s Common Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created and specifically ranking, by its terms, on par with the Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series B Preferred Stock, in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
V.VOTING RIGHTS
Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Series B Preferred shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B Preferred, (b) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
VI.PROTECTION PROVISIONS
So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the majority consent of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, alter or change the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
VII.MISCELLANEOUS
A.Status of Redeemed Stock. In case any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed or otherwise repurchased or reacquired, the shares so redeemed, repurchased, or reacquired shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series B Preferred Stock.
B.Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and (ii) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, indemnity (with a bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or in the case of mutilation, the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (surrendered for cancellation), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Series B Preferred Stock Certificates.
9
C.Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series B Preferred Stock (and the holders thereof) upon the unanimous written consent of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.
D.Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally, by nationally recognized overnight carrier or by confirmed email transmission, and shall be effective five (5) days after being placed in the mail, if mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight carrier or confirmed email transmission, in each case addressed to a party as set forth below, or such other address and telephone and fax number and email address as may be designated in writing hereafter in the same manner as set forth in this Article.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
REGULATION A UNITS
THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT made as of the ____ day of _____________, 2025, between GREEN LEAF INNOVATIONS, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida, (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Subscriber” and together with each of the other subscribers in the Offering (defined below), the “Subscribers”).
WHEREAS, in reliance on Regulation A+, the Company desires to sell Units comprised of one share of Series B Preferred Stock and a common stock purchase warrant for an additional 500 shares (collectively, the “Units”), at a purchase price of $0.015 per Unit and per the terms set forth in the Company’s Form 1-A (as amended) which was filed on April 29, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on ______________ (the “Offering”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1.1. Subscription for Units. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such aggregate amount of Units as is set forth upon the signature page hereof; and the Company agrees to sell such Units to the Subscriber for said purchase price subject to the Company’s right to sell to the Subscriber such lesser number of Units as the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The purchase price is payable by wire transfer, or certified or bank checks made payable to “GREEN LEAF INNOVATIONS, INC.” and delivered contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement to the Company’s address set forth in the FORM 1-A.
1.2. Form 1-A Registered Units. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Units being purchased herein are registered in the Company’s Form 1-A (as amended) which was filed on April 29, 2025.
1.3. Investment Purpose. The Subscriber represents that the Units (the “Securities”) are being purchased for his or her or its own account, for investment purposes only and not for distribution or resale to others in contravention of the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. The Subscriber agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.4. Accredited Investor. The Subscriber represents and warrants that he, she, or it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, and that it can bear the economic risk of any investment in the Units.
1.5. Domicile. Subscriber represents and warrants that his, her, or its Domicile matches the address listed on the signature page of this Agreement. For individuals, Domicile means actual state of residency. For corporate entities, Domicile means (i) state of incorporation/organization; or (ii) principal place of business.
1.6. RISK OF INVESTMENT. THE SUBSCRIBER RECOGNIZES THAT THE PURCHASE OF THE UNITS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL RISKS DISCUSSED IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY AND THE UNITS MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF A SUBSCRIBER’S ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
(a) Risk of Loss of Investment. An investment in the Company and the Units offered hereby involve a high degree of risk. An investment in the Units is suitable only for investors who can bear a loss of their entire investment.
(b) Value of Units is Speculative. The terms of this offering have been determined arbitrarily by the Company. There is no relationship between such terms and the Company’s assets, earnings, book value and/or any
other objective criteria of value.
(c) Dependence on Net Proceeds; No Minimum Offering. The Company is dependent upon the net proceeds of this Offering to fund its operations, as more specifically described elsewhere in this Subscription Agreement. There is no commitment by any person to purchase Units and there is no assurance that any number of Units will be sold. Additionally, there is no minimum amount of funds that are required to be raised in order for the Company to accept subscriptions received from investors and the Company’s may terminate this Offering prior to the expiration of the Offering Period. There is no assurance that the Company will sell a sufficient number of Units in this Offering on a timely basis or that the net proceeds after payment of debts and other obligations will be adequate for the Company’s needs.
(d) Need for Additional Capital; Additional Private Placement. The net proceeds raised by the Company from this Offering will be used immediately to fund the Company’s current operations. The Company will therefore require significant additional financing shortly after this Offering, regardless of the net proceeds received, in order to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company may seek to raise additional funds in private placement transactions. However, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in a timely manner or on terms that will enable it to enter its proposed business on a reasonable basis.
1.7 Information. The Subscriber acknowledges receipt and full and careful review and understanding of this Subscription Agreement and of the Form 1-A (as amended) which was filed on April 29, 2025.
1.8 No Representations or Warranties. The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as expressly set forth in the Form 1-A, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee, or affiliate of the Company and in entering into this transaction the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than that contained in the Form 1-A and the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.
1.9 Tax Consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of the Units may involve tax consequences and that the contents of the Form 1-A does not contain tax advice or information. The Subscriber acknowledges that it must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Units.
1.10 Transfer or Resale.

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, as of May 7, 2025 (the “Issue Date”), Green Leaf Innovations, Inc., a Florida corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower” or “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of CV3 Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum up to $400,000.00, payable upon the earlier of maturity or upon acceleration or upon prepayment of this Note as set forth herein. The term “Note” and all references thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented. This Note shall accrue interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) (the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date that the Note is funded until all principal, interest, default interest, penalties, etc. accruing hereunder have been paid in full. The same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise, as further provided herein. Holder will fund the Note in tranches. The first tranche of $________________ will be due at closing and the remaining tranches will be funded at the mutual agreement of the parties, in amount and for the purposes to be agreed. Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully funded and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Any Principal Amount or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate the lesser of (a) eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”); or (b) the maximum rate allowed by law. The maturity date of this Note shall be the date that is twelve (12) months after the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”), and is the date upon which the principal amount, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable. This Note may be prepaid in whole as explicitly set forth herein. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into Stock of the Company shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of Miami, Florida are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.
This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
The following additional terms shall also apply to this Note:
ARTICLE I
CONVERSION RIGHTS
1.1Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, on or after the Issue Date to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, fees, or any other obligation owed pursuant to this Note into Units comprised of (i) one share of Series B Preferred Stock, and (ii) a warrant to purchase an additional 500 shares of Company Common Stock (a “Conversion”). Upon issuance, each Unit and the corresponding securities underlying said Unit shall be fully paid and non-assessable; provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each Conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) (the numerator) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion (the denominator), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., Miami, Florida time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any Conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such Conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, provided however, that the Borrower shall have the right to pay any or all interest in cash plus (3) at the Holder’s option, fees on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 0 and 0 hereof.
The Holder shall have the right, which may be exercised at the Holder’s sole discretion, to convert any amount due under this Note into shares of any qualified Regulation A Offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of Borrower during the term of the any such Regulation A Offering. The number of shares to be issued upon any such conversion shall be in accordance with Section 1.2 of this Note. In conjunction with the rights granted to the Holder under this Section 1.1, Borrower shall, as may be required and while any amount due under this Note remains outstanding, (1) identify the Holder as a selling shareholder in each of its Regulation A Offering Circulars; and (2) qualify and allocate a sufficient number of Units to repay the remaining balance under the Note in full.
1.2Conversion Price. Subject to the adjustments described herein, this Note shall be convertible into Units at any time, and from time to time, at the fixed conversion price of $0.015 per Unit (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price shall be automatically adjusted equitably for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, as well as combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events.
1.3Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the Conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Series B Preferred and Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Purchase Agreement. The
2
Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares of Stock will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Stock into which this Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) represents that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Reserved Amount be lower than the initial Reserved Amount, regardless of any prior conversions.
Borrower’s failure to maintain or to replenish the Reserved Amount within three (3) business days of a request of the Holder, shall be an Event of Default under this Note.
1.4Method of Conversion.
(a)Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time on or after the Issue Date, by (i) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., Miami, Florida time) and (ii) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.
(b)Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Holder shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(c)Delivery of Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates (or electronic shares via DWAC transfer, at the option of Holder) for the Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note). Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
3
obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., Miami, Florida time, on such date.
(d)Delivery of Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system.
(e)Failure to Deliver Stock Prior to Delivery Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 0 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $200 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Stock until the Borrower issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Holder’s and Borrower’s expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issue Date). Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.
1.5Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished by the Holder with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (ii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor.
1.6Effect of Certain Events.
(a)Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.
(b)Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or
4
securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(c)Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.
1.1Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Holder’s conversion rights herein shall not be affected in any way until the Note is fully paid (funds received by the Holder).
ARTICLE II
CERTAIN COVENANTS
2.1Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.
ARTICLE III
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The occurrence of any of the following shall each constitute an “Event of Default” with no right to notice or the right to cure except as specifically stated:
3.2Conversion and the Shares. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the Conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Stock issued to the
5
Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for three (3) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an “Event of Default” of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.
3.3Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in this Note, or in any of the Transaction Documents including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement.
3.4Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made.
3.5Receiver or Trustee. The Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.
3.6Bankruptcy; Liquidation. (i) Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or the Borrower admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, or have filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy; or (ii) any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business occurs.
3.7Delisting of Stock. The Borrower shall fail to maintain the listing of the Stock on at least one of the OTCBB, OTCQB, OTC Pink or an equivalent replacement exchange.
3.8Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.
3.9Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC for any date or period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.
3.10Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable
6
Transfer Agent Instruction Letter in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Sum (as defined herein). UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT SUM (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and/or 3.11, exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date specified in Section 3,1 hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable and the details of the determination of such amount, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
4.2Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery, or electronic transmission by e-mail (with read-receipt required) addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.

Dear Sirs/Madams:
I have acted as special counsel to Green Leaf Innovations, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), for the purpose of rendering an opinion as to the legality of 35,000,000 Units, each comprised of (i) one share of Company Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.10; and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant for an additional 500 shares of Comon Stock, offered and distributed by the Company at a price of $0.015 per Unit, and 35,000,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.01, issuable upon conversion of the Series B shares and exercise of the warrants, pursuant to a Tier 1 Offering Statement filed under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form 1-A, for the purpose of registering the offer and sale of the Shares (“Offering Statement”).
In rendering this opinion, I have reviewed (a) statutes of the State of Florida, to the extent I deem relevant to the matter opined upon herein; (b) true copies of the Articles of Incorporation of Company and all amendments thereto; (c) the Bylaws of Company; (d) selected proceedings of the board of directors of Company authorizing the issuance of the Shares; (e) certificates of officers of Company and of public officials; (f) and such other documents of Company and of public officials as I have deemed necessary and relevant to the matter opined upon herein.
I have assumed (a) the Offering Statement filed on Form 1-A and all corresponding exhibits (collectively, the "Documents") have been duly authorized and executed (except as it relates to the Company in which case the Documents have in fact been duly authorized and executed); (b) the persons who executed the Documents had the legal capacity to do so; and (c) the persons identified as officers are
actually serving as such and that any shares issued under and pursuant to the Offering Statement will be properly authorized by one or more such persons.
Based upon my review described herein, it is my opinion the Shares are duly authorized and when/if issued and delivered by Company against payment therefore, as described in the offering statement, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
I have not been engaged to examine, nor have I examined, the Offering Statement for the purpose of determining the accuracy or completeness of the information included therein or the compliance and conformity thereof with the rules and regulations of the SEC or the requirements of Form 1-A, and I express no opinion with respect thereto. The forgoing opinion is strictly limited to matters of Florida corporation law; and, I do not express an opinion on the federal law of the United States of America or the law of any state or jurisdiction therein other than Florida, as specified herein.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Offering Circular constituting a part of the Offering Statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of the opinion set forth herein to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur following the date hereof.
Sincerely,
/s/ JDT LEGAL
