March 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 1 - Nature of operations

Mentor Capital, Inc. (“Mentor” or “the Company”), reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in late 2015. The entity was originally founded as an investment partnership in Silicon Valley, California by the current CEO in 1985 and subsequently incorporated under the laws of the State of California on July 29, 1994. On September 12, 1996, the Company’s offering statement was qualified pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act, and the Company began to trade its shares publicly. On August 21, 1998, the Company filed for voluntary reorganization and, on January 11, 2000, the Company emerged from Chapter 11. The Company relocated to San Diego, California and contracted to provide financial assistance and investment into small businesses. On May 22, 2015, a corporation, named Mentor Capital, Inc. (“Mentor Delaware”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. A merger between Mentor and Mentor Delaware was approved by the California and Delaware Secretaries of State, and became effective September 24, 2015, thereby establishing Mentor as a Delaware corporation.

Since the August 2008, name change back to Mentor Capital, Inc., the Company’s common stock has traded publicly under the trading symbol OTCQB: MNTR.

In 2009, the Company began focusing its investing activities in leading edge cancer companies. In 2012, in response to government limitations on reimbursement for highly technical and expensive cancer treatments and a resulting business decline in the cancer development sector, the Company decided to exit that space. In the summer of 2013 the Company was asked to consider investing in a cancer related project with a medical marijuana focus. On August 29, 2013, the Company made a decision to divest of its cancer assets and focus future investments in the cannabis and medical marijuana sector.

Mentor has a 51% interest in Waste Consolidators, Inc. (“WCI”). WCI was incorporated in Colorado in 1999 and operates in Arizona and Texas. It is a legacy investment which was acquired prior to the Company’s current focus on the cannabis sector and is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements presented.

On February 28, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 60% of the outstanding shares of Bhang Corporation, formerly known as Bhang Chocolate Company, Inc. (“Bhang”), which was ultimately rescinded. Following arbitration, on December 29, 2016, Mentor obtained a judgment against Bhang in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The judgment is comprised of $1,500,000 of Mentor’s funds retained by Bhang plus pre-judgment interest in the amount of $421,534.62. The judgment also accrues post-judgment interest at the rate of 10% from December 29, 2016 until such time as the judgment is paid in full. Amounts paid to Bhang are reported as Receivable from Bhang Chocolate Company in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Interest receivable is fully reserved at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 pending the outcome of the Company’s collection process.

On April 18, 2016, the Company formed Mentor IP, LLC (“MCIP”), a South Dakota limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Mentor. MCIP was formed to invest in intellectual property and specifically to hold the investment in patent interests obtained on April 4, 2016 when Mentor Capital, Inc. entered into an agreement with R. Larson and Larson Capital (“Larson”) to seek and secure the benefits of mutual effort directed toward the capture of license fees from domestic and foreign THC and CBD cannabis vape patents. See Note 17.

Condensed consolidated financial statements 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

Basis of presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include majority owned subsidiaries of 51% or more. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

Concentrations of cash

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts nor does the Company believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no short-term debt securities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Accounts receivable

Customer accounts receivable are classified as current assets and are carried at original invoice amounts less an estimate for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a quarterly basis. The estimate of allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's bad debt experience, market conditions, collateral available, and aging of accounts receivable, among other factors. If the financial condition of the Company's customers deteriorates resulting in the customer's inability to pay the Company's receivables as they come due, additional allowances for doubtful accounts will be required. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded an allowance in the amount of $36,736 and $33,837, respectively.

Convertible notes receivable

The convertible note receivable from Electrum Partners, LLC (“Electrum”) is recorded at the principal face amount of $100,000 plus accrued interest of $6,874 at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The note matures March 12, 2022 and bears interest at 10% per annum. The conversion price is the note balance plus any accrued interest at conversion date. The conversion percentage is [conversion price divided by (conversion price plus $1.9 million)], which is currently approximately 5%. The note called for monthly interest payments of $898 through March 12, 2017 after which monthly payments of principal and interest would be $2,290 until the note was paid full. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, an addendum to the convertible note provides for continued monthly interest payments of $898 until such time as the Company may request commencement of principal and interest of $2,290 per month. The addendum also provided for a second investment in Electrum through an additional $100,000 promissory note with monthly principal and interest payments of $2,290 per month and an original equity conversion rate of approximately 0.5%, see Note 21.

The Company has a convertible note receivable from NeuCourt, Inc., which it entered into on November 8, 2016, that is recorded at the principal face amount of $25,000 plus accrued interest of $181 at December 31, 2016. The note bears 5% interest and matures on November 8, 2018. No payments are required prior to maturity. Principal and unpaid interest may be converted into a blend of shares of a to-be-created series of Preferred Stock, and common stock, of NeuCourt (defined as “Conversion Shares”) (i) on closing of a future financing round of at least $750,000, (ii) on the election of NeuCourt on maturity of the Note, or (iii) an election of Mentor following NeuCourt’s election to prepay the Note. The Conversion Price for the Note is the lower of (i) 75% of the price paid in the Next Equity Financing, or the price obtained by dividing a $3,000,000 valuation cap by the fully diluted number of shares. The number of Conversion Shares issued on conversion shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest on a Note to be converted on the date of conversion by the Conversion Price (the “Total Number of Shares”). The Total Number of Shares shall consist of Preferred Stock and Common Stock as follows: (i) That number of shares of Preferred Stock obtained by dividing (a) the principal amount of each Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder by (b) the price per share paid by other purchasers of Preferred Stock in the Next Equity Financing (such number of shares, the "Number of Preferred Stock") and (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Total Number of Shares minus the Number of Preferred Stock. Using the valuation cap of $3,000,000, the Note would today convert into 128,583 Conversion Shares. In the event of a Corporate Transaction prior to repayment or conversion of the Note, the Company shall receive back two times its investment, plus all accrued unpaid interest. NeuCourt is a Delaware corporation that is developing a technology that is expected to be useful in the cannabis space.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Long term investments

The Company’s investments in entities where it is a minority owner and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are recorded at fair value if readily determinable. If the fair market value is not readily determinable, the investment is recorded under the cost-method. Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such investee company is not included in the Company’s financial statements. The Company reviews the carrying value of its long term investments for impairment each reporting period.

Investment in account receivable, net of discount

On April 10, 2015, the Company entered into an exchange agreement whereby the Company received an investment in account receivable with installment payments of $117,000 per year for 11 years. The investment is stated at face value, net of unamortized purchase discount. The discount is amortized to interest income over the term of the exchange agreement.

Notes receivable

Notes receivable are stated at amortized cost, less impairment, if any.

Property, equipment and machinery

Property, equipment and machinery are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful lives of various classes of property ranging from 3 to 7 years.

Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts. The resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Goodwill

Goodwill of $1,324,142 was derived from consolidating WCI effective January 1, 2014 and $102,040 of goodwill related to the 1999 acquisition of a 50% interest in WCI. The Company accounts for its Goodwill in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, rather than amortize. Goodwill impairment tests consist of a comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying value. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value for each reporting unit. To estimate the fair value, management used valuation techniques which included the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The evaluation of impairment requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and are subject to change as future events and circumstances change. Actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. Management determined that no impairment write-downs were required as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”. The Company records revenue under each contract once persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Service fees are generated by WCI for monthly services performed to reduce customer’s operating costs. Service fees are invoiced and recognized as revenue in the month services are performed. Revenue from consulting agreements is recognized at the time the related services are provided as specified in the related consulting agreements.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share

Basic net income (loss) per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS adjusts basic net income (loss) per common share, computed using the treasury stock method, for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares, if the effect is not antidilutive. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is antidilutive. Outstanding warrants that had no effect on the computation of dilutive weighted average number of shares outstanding as their effect would be antidilutive were approximately 7,540,831 and 18,008,395 as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were 7,540,831 and 4,500 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Income taxes

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed income tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential changes that management believes are more likely than not to occur upon examination by tax authorities.

Management has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed income tax returns that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s income tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense.

Advertising and promotion

The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $1,847 and $2,541, respectively.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results ultimately may differ from these estimates. 

Fair value measurements

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic 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. The valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic establish a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. These three general valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows: Market approach (Level 1) – which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Prices may be indicated by pricing guides, sale transactions, market trades, or other sources. Cost approach (Level 2) – which is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service

Fair value measurements (continued)

capacity of an asset (replacement cost); and the Income approach (Level 3) – which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about the future amounts (including present value techniques, and option-pricing models). Net present value is an income approach where a stream of expected cash flows is discounted at an appropriate market interest rate.

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, customer deposits and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair value of the investment in account receivable is based on the net present value of calculated interest and principle payments. The carrying value approximates fair value as interest rates charged are comparable to market rates for similar investments.

The fair value of notes receivable are based on the net present value of calculated interest and principle payments. The carrying value approximates fair value as interest rates charged are comparable to market rates for similar notes.

The fair value of long-term notes payable is based on the net present value of calculated interest and principle payments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value due to the fact that the interest rate on the debt is based on market rates.

Recent Accounting Standards

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 3 - Prepaid expenses and other assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets consist of the following:

Note 4 - Bhang Corporation (formerly known as Bhang Chocolate Company, Inc.) and Judgment

On January 17, 2014, the Company transitioned out of its cancer related trading dormancy by announcing its first cannabis sector letter of intent amidst significantly increased share volume and price. The Company entered into an agreement with Bhang Chocolate Company, Inc., the predecessor in interest to Bhang Corporation (together “Bhang”), effective February 28, 2014. As part of that agreement, which was ultimately rescinded, Mentor delivered $1,500,000 to Bhang which Bhang refused to return following rescission of the agreement. Following arbitration of the dispute, on December 29, 2016, Mentor obtained a judgment in the amount of $1,921,534 against Bhang Corporation and its predecessor in interest, Bhang Chocolate Company, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The judgment accrues interest at the rate of 10% from December 29, 2016 until such time as the judgment is satisfied. See Notes 20 and 23. Accrued interest receivable is fully reserved at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the Company is analyzing its ability to collect the interest on this award and subsequent judgement. Mentor intends to vigorously pursue collection of the entire $1,500,000 plus all accrued interest.

The receivable and accrued interest consists of the following:

As part of the judgment Bhang owners, Scott Van Rixel and Richard Sellers, who together purchased 117,000 shares of Mentor Common Stock pursuant to the Bhang Agreement have the option until December 29, 2017 to return all or part of those shares in exchange for payment of the original purchase price of $1.95 per share plus a pro-rata amount of $58,568 in interest for such returned shares. Mentor will account for the return of the shares as a capital transaction if and when the shares are remitted back to the Company.

Note 5 – Investment in account receivable

On April 10, 2015, the Company entered into an exchange agreement whereby the Company received an investment in an account receivable with installment payments of $117,000 per year for 11 years totaling $1,287,000 in exchange for 757,059 shares of Mentor Common Stock obtained through exercise of Series D warrants at $1.60 per share. The Counterparty to the exchange agreement may elect to partially rescind the exchange at any time after June 1, 2017 and ending on the earlier of (i) December 1, 2017, and (ii) two weeks following the date on which the Counterparty receives notice from Mentor that Mentor’s warrant holders have been notified that they have approximately 30 days left to exercise Mentor warrants. The partial rescission election may be exercised for all or part of 313,820 of the Mentor shares exchanged for all or part of the installment payments due in or around January of each of 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. At this time the 313,820 shares are being reviewed at a brokerage for deposit which would terminate the partial rescission option. No adjustment has been made to the estimated present value or shares for this contingency.

The Company valued the transaction based on the market value of Company common shares exchanged in the transaction, resulting in a 17.87% discount from the face value of the account receivable. The discount is being amortized monthly to interest over the 11 year term of the agreement.

Note 7 – Convertible notes receivable

Convertible notes receivable consists of the following:

* Subsequent to March 31, 2017, an addendum to the convertible note provides for continued monthly interest payments of $898 until such time as the Company may request commencement of principal and interest of $2,290 per month. The addendum also provided for a second promissory note from Electrum in a principal face amount of $100,000 with an approximate 0.5% equity conversion option, see Note 21.

** The conversion price is the Electrum Partners, LLC note balance plus any accrued interest at conversion date. The conversion percentage is [conversion price divided by (conversion price plus $1.9 million)], currently approximately 5%.

*** The Conversion Price for the Note is the lower of (i) 75% of the price paid in the Next Equity Financing, or the price obtained by dividing a $3,000,000 valuation cap by the fully diluted number of shares. The number of Conversion Shares issued on conversion shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest on a Note to be converted on the date of conversion by the Conversion Price (the “Total Number of Shares”). The Total Number of Shares shall consist of Preferred Stock and Common Stock as follows: (i) That number of shares of Preferred Stock obtained by dividing (a) the principal amount of each Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder by (b) the price per share paid by other purchasers of Preferred Stock in the Next Equity Financing (such number of shares, the “Number of Preferred Stock”) and (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Total Number of Shares minus the Number of Preferred Stock. Using the valuation cap of $3,000,000, the Note would today convert into 128,583 Conversion Shares. In the event of a Corporate Transaction prior to repayment or conversion of the Note, the Company shall receive back two times its investment, plus all accrued unpaid interest.

Note 8 - Note purchase agreement and consulting agreement with G FarmaLabs Limited

On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into a Notes Purchase Agreement with G Farmalabs Limited (“G Farma”), a Nevada corporation. Under the Agreement the Company purchased two secured promissory notes from G Farma in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000, both of which bear interest at 7.42% per annum, with monthly payments beginning on April 15, 2017, and mature on April 15, 2022. The first promissory note in the amount of $120,000 is for the purchase of real estate, which is secured by a deed of trust on real property, and requires monthly payments of $1,107 beginning April 15, 2017 with a balloon payment of approximately $93,585 at maturity. The second promissory note in the amount of $380,000 is to be used for working capital and is secured by all assets of G Farma and guaranteed by two owners of G Farma, which requires monthly payments of $3,505 with a balloon payment of approximately $296,352 at maturity. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, the Company and G Farma executed an Addendum II (the “Addendum II”) by which Mentor agreed to invest an additional $100,000 in G Farma by increasing the aggregate principal face amount of the working capital note to $480,000 and G Farma agreed to increase the monthly payments on the working capital note to $4,427 per month from $3,505 per month, see Note 21.

Associated with the Notes Purchase Agreement, on March 17, 2017, the Company and G Farma entered into a Rights Agreement which provides that G Farma will not register its stock in a public offering unless it obtains either (i) the written consent of the Company, or (ii) without the Company’s written consent if G Farma issues to the Company shares of each class or series of G Farma stock then outstanding equal to 1.5% of each such number of shares, calculated on a full dilution full conversion basis. Addendum II, executed subsequent to March 31, 2017, increases item (ii) above to 1.8% from 1.5%, see Note 21.

In addition, on March 17, 1017, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with G Farma whereby the Company will receive a monthly consulting fee in arears of $1,400 per month beginning April 15, 2017 and continuing until the later of (i) 12 months, and (ii) the date on which G Farma has paid in full all obligations under the Notes Purchase Agreement. This consulting fee is increased to $1,680 by Addendum II, executed subsequent to March 31, 2017, beginning with the May 15, 2017 payment, see Note 21.

Notes receivable from G Farma consists of the following at March 31, 2017:

Note 9 - Contractual interest in legal recovery

On March 17, 2017, G Farma purchased 222,223 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock in a private placement at a price of $2.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $500,002 to be paid as follows: (i) Assignment to the Company of an interest, equal to the amount of the purchase price, in any and all civil forfeiture or similar recoveries received by, or due to, G Farma including a $10 million claim filed March 29, 2017 against the County of Calaveras, or (ii) at any time before payment of the full purchase price from recovery, the Company may elect to have G Farma pay all or some of the purchase price on the date of the maturity of the promissory notes, described above under the Notes Purchase Agreement, or (iii) The Company may elect to have G Farma pay all or some of the purchase price by issuance to the Company of G Farma securities in aggregate amount equal to the purchase price as are offered to any other person (other than stock options offered to employees).

Pursuant to the Addendum II entered into subsequent to March 31, 2017, G Farma purchased an additional 66,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.50 per share for an additional purchase price of $100,000 payable as above, see Note 21.

We account for our financial assets in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors: Level 1 represents assets valued at quoted prices in active markets using identical assets; Level 2 represents assets valued using significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs; and, Level 3 represents assets valued using significant unobservable inputs.

The hierarchy of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Assets are listed as following:

Note 11 - Common stock warrants

The Company’s Plan of Reorganization, which was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California on January 11, 2000, provided for the creditors and claimants to receive new warrants in settlement of their claims. The warrants expire May 11, 2038.

All Series A, B, C and D warrants have been called and all Series A, B, and C warrants have been exercised. Today only the Series D warrants remain active for exercise. The warrant holders have a minimum of 30 calendar days during which to exercise their warrants once they are called. However, the Company intends to allow warrant holders or Company designees in place of original holders additional time as needed to exercise the remaining series D warrants. The Company may lowerthe exercise price of all or part of a warrant series at any time. Similarly, the Company could, but does not anticipate, reverse splitting the stock to raise the stock price above the warrant exercise price. The warrants are specifically not affected and do not split with the shares in the event of a reverse split. If the called warrants are not exercised, the Company has the right to designate the warrants to a new holder in return for a $0.10 per share redemption fee payable to the original warrant holders as discussed further in Note 12. All such changes in the exercise price of warrants were provided for by the court in the Plan of Reorganization in order to provide a mechanism for all debtors to receive value even if they could not or did not exercise their warrant. Therefore, Management believes that the act of lowering the exercise price is not a change from the original warrant grants and the Company has not recorded an accounting impact as the result of such change in exercise prices.

All Series A and Series C warrants were exercised by December 31, 2014. Exercise prices in effect at January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2017 for Series B warrants were $0.11 and Series D warrants were $1.60. Subsequent to March 31, 2017 the remaining 4,500 Series B warrants were exercised, see Note 21.

In 2009, the Company entered into an Investment Banking agreement with Network One Securities, LLC and a related Strategic Advisory Agreement with Lenox Hill Partners, LP with regard to a potential merger with a cancer development company. In conjunction with those related agreements, the Company issued 689,159 Series H ($7) Warrants, with a 30 year life. The warrants are subject to cashless exercise based upon the ten day trailing closing bid price preceding the exercise as interpreted by the Company.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the weighted average contractual life for all Mentor warrants was 21.26 years and 21.49 years, respectively, and the weighted average outstanding warrant exercise price was $2.09 and $2.02 per share, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, a total of 1,359,218 and 395,000 warrants were exercised, respectively. There were no warrants issued during the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The intrinsic value of outstanding warrants at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $4,382,190 and $4,275, respectively.

The following table summarizes Series B and Series D common stock warrants as of each period:

Note 11 - Common stock warrants (continued)

Series E, F, G and H warrants were issued for investment banking and advisory services during 2009. Series E, F and G warrants were exercised in 2014. The following table summarizes Series H ($7) warrants as of each period:

On February 9, 2015, in accordance with Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and the Company’s Plan of Reorganization, the Company announced a minimum 30 day partial redemption of up to 1% (approximately 90,000) of the already outstanding Series D warrants to provide for the court specified redemption mechanism for warrants not exercised timely by the original holder or their estates. Company designees that applied during the 30 days paid 10 cents per warrant to redeem the warrant and then exercised the Series D warrant to purchase a share at the court specified formula of not more than one-half of the closing bid price on the day preceding the 30 day exercise period. In the Company’s October 7, 2016 press release, Mentor stated that the 1% redemptions which were formerly priced on a calendar month schedule would subsequently be initiated and be priced on a random date schedule after the prior 1% redemption is completed to prevent potential third party manipulation of share prices at month-end. The periodic partial redemptions will continue to be periodically recalculated and repeated until such unexercised warrants are exhausted or the partial redemption is otherwise truncated by the Company. The regular and 1% partial redemptions authorization, which was recalculated and repeated according to the court formula, resulted in a combined average exercise price of $1.55 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $0.32 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 12 - Warrant redemption liability

The Plan of Reorganization provides the right for the Company to call, and the Company or its designee to redeem warrants that are not exercised timely, as specified in the Plan, by transferring a $0.10 redemption fee to the former holders. Certain individuals desiring to become a Company designee to redeem warrants have deposited redemption fees with the Company that, when warrants are redeemed, will be forwarded to the former warrant holders at their last known address 30 days after the last warrant of a class is exercised, or earlier at the discretion of the Company. The Company has arranged for a service to process the redemption fees in offset to an equal amount of liability. In prior years the Series A and Series C redemption fees have been distributed through DTCC into holder’s brokerage accounts or directly to the holders and are no longer outstanding. In addition, subsequent to March 31, 2017 the remaining Series B warrants were redeemed and the redemption fees were distributed in the same manner, see Note 21. Once the D warrants have been fully redeemed the fees for the D warrant series will likewise be distributed. The President and CEO, Chet Billingsley has agreed to assume liability for paying the redemption fees and therefore warrant redemption fees received are retained by the Company for operating costs. Should Mr. Billingsley be incapacitated or otherwise become unable to pay the warrant redemption fees, the Company will remit the warrant liability to former holders from amounts due him which are sufficient to cover the redemption fee at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 16 - Accrued salary, accrued retirement and incentive fee - related party

The Company had an outstanding liability to Chet Billingsley, its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), as follows:

The Company agreed to advance the CEO $944,000 against the accrued liabilities due him, in January 2014, to exercise additional warrants into shares to be used as collateral for a potential loan to the Company. The warrant exercise was a cashless transaction made solely for the benefit of the Company in its efforts to obtain financing.

After the warrants were exercised, the CEO put 100% of his shares owned, 5,000,486 shares, in an escrow which was to guarantee the potential loan. The loan was mutually rescinded on June 12, 2014, and the shares remained in escrow until March 28, 2016, at which time the CEO’s shares were removed from escrow and, in August 2016, 135,000 shares were placed under a 10b5-1 Plan under third party control to preclude any directed share sales by a company officer when non-public information is known. The CEO’s remaining shares are held in certificate form and are not held in any brokerage account or in any other manner for intended resale.

As provided by Board of Director resolution in 1998, the CEO will be paid an incentive fee and a bonus which are payable in cash upon merger, resignation or termination or in installments at the CEO’s option.

Note 18 – Commitments and contingencies

On December 29, 2016, Mentor obtained a judgment in the amount of $1,921,534.62 against Bhang Corporation and its predecessor in interest, Bhang Chocolate Company, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California related to an action filed by Mentor on August 11, 2014 seeking rescission of the February 28, 2014 co-operative funding agreement with Bhang Corporation (“Bhang Agreement”) and return of the $1,500,000 paid by the Company to Bhang. The judgment accrues interest at the rate of 10% from December 29, 2016 until such time as the judgment is satisfied. Mentor intends to enforce this judgment. As part of the judgment Bhang owners, Scott Van Rixel and Richard Sellers, who together purchased 117,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Bhang Agreement have the option until December 29, 2017 to return some or all of those shares in exchange for payment of the original purchase price of $1.95 per share plus a pro-rata amount of $58,568.92 in interest for such returned shares. Mentor will account for the return of the shares as a capital transaction if and when the shares are remitted back to the Company. See Note 4 to condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, Mentor was served with a complaint in an action in the United States District Court for the District of Utah initiated by the wife and daughter of Bhang’s corporate counsel related to 75,000 shares of Mentor’s Common Stock purchased from Bhang Corporation’s CEO in a secondary sale. The shares purchased by plaintiffs are returnable to Mentor per the judgement awarded in the Bhang matter, above. Mentor was not a party to this transaction and intends to vigorously defend itself against all claims in this case. No trial date has currently been set in this action.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resources constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management’s evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our managers, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
