In response to a comment letter received from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has treated the disposition of Curado in connection with the Accord and Satisfaction Agreement between the Company and South Beach as a disposition of a subsidiary and has presented Curados operations in the financial statements as discontinued operations.
On May 8, 2010, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire Rockbrook, Inc., a Colorado dispensary in exchange for 400,000 restricted common shares in the Company. Due to a change in Colorado legislation preventing outside residents from owning a dispensary within the state, the Company and the sole Rockbrook shareholder agreed to and entered into a Mutual Termination Agreement on July 27, 2010 to retroactively cancel the acquisition.
On July 27, 2010, the Company signed a mutual termination agreement (MTA) to cancel the Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Rockbrook Inc. (Rockbrook). Due to regulatory changes in the state of Colorado it was no longer permissible for the Company to own Rockbrook, a Colorado dispensary, and therefore the May 8, 2010 acquisition was retroactively cancelled along with the 400,000 restricted common shares issued on May 14, 2010 to the sole shareholder of Rockbrook. The Company had not yet taken possession of Rockbrook shares or assets at the time of signing the MTA.
On August 19, 2010, the Company signed a license agreement with RockBrook Inc, a medical marijuana medicines company. RockBrook has been granted the full latitude and rights to manufacture, develop, produce, distribute and sell products developed from, or based on, Cannabis Science formulations, and delivery systems for the Cannabis Science Brand of Pharmaceutical Products and Cannabis Science Ailment Formulations within the State of Colorado. Under the agreement RockBrook will pay Cannabis Science an initial licence fee of $25,000, payable within the first year. RockBrook will also pay the Company a quarterly royalty payment of 50% of all positive revenues derived from the the Company Brand of Pharmaceutical Products. Additionally, in the event RockBrook executes any sublicensing agreements, Cannabis Science is entitled to royalty payments of 50% of all positive revenues received by the licensee for sales of any Cannabis Science Brand of Pharmaceutical Products. Within two years RockBrook is expected to invest a minimum of $250,000 in research and development for the Cannabis Science Brand of Pharmaceutical Products and will also pay the Company a renewable licence fee, payable annually on the anniversary of the execution of this agreement. The first anniversary payment will be $25,000, the second $50,000, third $75,000 and fourth $100,000. The fifth and subsequent anniversary payments will be $150,000.
On April 27, 2011, the Company was advised by the principal of Rockbrook, Inc. that the current licensing agreement was no longer in effect and that a new license agreement would be signed once new terms could be agreed upon. Despite this notification from Rockbrook, Inc., a legally signed license agreement is still in effect between the Company and Rockbrook. The Company will work with Rockbrook to negotiate new license agreement terms, if its in the best interest of shareholders of the Company. Alternatively, the Company will legally enforce the current license agreement if a revised and mutually beneficial license agreement cannot be reached.
B. Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Companys fiscal year end is December 31.
C. Interim Financial Statement
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
D. Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to stock-based compensation and deferred income tax valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
E. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Under ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS"), the Company provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or losses of the entity. For the periods January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 and from inception through March 31, 2011, basic and diluted loss per share are the same since the calculation of diluted per share amounts would result in an anti-dilutive calculation.
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
G. Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customers creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.
H. Income Taxes
Under ASC 740, Income Tax, the Company is required to account for its income taxes through the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of timing differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes during the year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce that deferred tax asset if it is "more likely than not" that the related tax benefits will not be realized.
I. Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718-10, Compensation - Stock Compensation ("ASC 718-10"), using the modified-prospective method. Under ASC 718-10, share-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense, net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, ratably over the applicable period of the award.
J. Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is currently in the development stage as defined under the provisions of Accounting Codification Standard ("ASC") 915-10. In October 2008, the Company divested itself of its operating company, Curado Energy Resources, Inc. Beginning with the fiscal fourth quarter of 2008 the Company again became a development stage company. The Company is working on developing its medical cannabis business, which will be comprised of cannabinoid medicines approved through the FDA along with non-psychotropic medicines for the naturopathy market.

K. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended December 31, 2010 and through May 13, 2011, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB the most recent of which was Accounting Standards Update 2011-03. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
L. Reclassifications
For comparative purposes, certain prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with report classifications of the current year.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported an accumulated deficit of $64,988,539 and had a stockholders deficit of $1,602,032 at March 31, 2011.
In view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of capital. At March 31, 2011, the Company had minimal operations. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire research and growing facilities, and to cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional public or private offerings of debt or equity securities. There are no commitments or arrangements for other offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be forthcoming, or as to the terms of any such financings. Any future financing may involve substantial dilution to existing investors. We had been relying on our common stock to pay third parties for services which has resulted substantial dilution to existing investors.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As at March 31, 2011, a total of $138,658 (December 31, 2010: $107,835) was due to a related parties. The amounts due are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no specified terms of repayment. This related party also performs management services to the Company under a Management Consulting Agreement signed on July 1, 2010.
4. NOTES PAYABLE
As at March 31, 2011, a total of $186,109 (December 31, 2010: $171,509) of notes payable are due to stockholders. A total of $9 is due to a stockholder under a convertible note that is non-interest bearing and has no specified terms of repayment. $186,100 is due to a stockholder under promissory notes that are non-interested bearing and are due 12 months from the date of issue and loan origination beginning on June 6, 2011 through March 28, 2012. This stockholder, to whom promissory notes are due, also performs business and accounting services for the Company on a month-to-month basis.

On January 28, 2011, the Company issued 10,000,000 common shares of S-8 stock to several consultants for services to be performed for the period February 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012. The shares had a fair market value of $0.04 per share.

In July 2005, the Company acquired Es3, Inc., a Nevada Corporation ("Es3"), pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") by and among the Company, Crown Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Crown Partners"), Es3, and certain stockholders of Es3 (the "Es3 Stockholders"). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Es3 in exchange for the issuance of 191,828 shares of the Company's common stock (adjusted for splits) to the Es3 Stockholders, Crown Partners and certain consultants. The transactions effected by the Exchange Agreement were accounted for as a reverse merger, and recapitalization. In addition, the Company changed its accounting year-end from March 31 to December 31, which was Es3's accounting year-end. The Company then commenced business manufacturing and marketing products under the name Special Stone Surfaces. The Company sold its shares in Es3 in October 2005, and thereafter conducted no substantial business until 2006.
On April 3, 2006, the Company acquired a group of oil and gas leases in Oklahoma in exchange for issuance of common stock and commenced the business of oil and gas exploration and production, mineral lease purchasing and all activities associated with acquiring, operating and maintaining the assets of such operations. On June 6, 2007, the Company changed its name from National Healthcare Technology, Inc., to Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc., and converted to a Nevada corporation. The Company acquired additional oil and gas leases during 2007, all for issuance of common stock; in October 2007, the Company acquired leases from K & D Equity Investments, Inc., a Texas corporation in a transaction that effected a change of control, with K & D acquiring a majority stake in the Company. The Company also entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with South Beach Live, Inc., a Florida corporation, to provide it with working capital of up to $100,000 on a revolving credit line. The Agreement permitted South Beach the right to repayment on demand, or to convert amounts owed for shares.
On March 25, 2008 the Company changed its name to Gulf Onshore, Inc. On June 6, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement with K & D to acquire additional leases (the Leases) in exchange for common stock and a Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) with South Beach Live, Inc., a Florida corporation, to purchase 100% of the common shares of Curado Energy Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation (Curado). Curado is registered with the Texas Railroad Commission as an oil and gas well operator, and is the operator for the Leases. The Company acquired the Leases into Curado, in exchange for shares issued to K & D. The Company issued South Beach a promissory note for $250,000, payable in 1 year at 10% interest, which was guaranteed by Curado. The Company consolidated the operations of Curado commencing in 3Q 2008.
In August 2008, the Company granted South Beach a security interest in its Curado shares and the Curado assets, in exchange for concessions from South Beach regarding further cash advances and future stock conversions. This transaction was contemplated and further consummated by the Company due to declining oil prices throughout 3Q 2008 and increased operating costs, which made continued oil and gas operations on the Leases unprofitable. The Company was also continually drawing down on its Line of Credit Agreement with South Beach that created unsustainable working capital pressure.

Results of Operations
The Company had license revenues of $11,290 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0 for the comparative prior year quarter. This increase resulted from the Companys license agreement with Rockbrook signed on August 18, 2010 and the associated recognition of license fees paid by Rockbrook to the Company for the distribution of its products. We are currently negotiating new license agreement terms with Rockbrook to remove the exclusivity clause and permit the Company to seek other licensees to market its products and add additional license revenues. The new agreement is expected to be signed on or before May 20, 2011.
Net loss on settlement of liabilities increased by $1,017,100 to $1,487,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $470,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is due to the Company settling debt through at decreased settlement prices.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1,191,684 to $1,296,609 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $104,925 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is due to increased compensation from new management consulting agreements signed on July 1, 2010 and increased management and consulting expense from S-8 stock issued to consultants for services rendered.
The Company is in the development stage as defined in ASC 915.
