CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based upon our current assumptions, expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on our business. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “approximately,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.

 

Factors that may cause or contribute actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, for example:

 

  · regulatory limitations on our products and services;

 

  · our ability to complete and integrate announced acquisitions;

 

  · general industry and economic conditions;

 

  · our ability to access adequate capital upon terms and conditions that are acceptable to us;

 

  · volatility in credit and market conditions;

 

  · other risks and uncertainties related to the cannabis market and our business strategy.

 

We operate in very competitive and rapidly changing markets. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

 

Stockholders and potential investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable, we cannot assure stockholders and potential investors that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.

 

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Business DescriptionBusiness Activity

 

Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (the "Company") incorporated on March 20, 2014, in the State of Nevada. On May 1, 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive Technology License Agreement with Medicine Man Denver, Inc., f/k/a Medicine Man Production Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“Medicine Man Denver”) whereby Medicine Man Denver granted it a license to use all of their proprietary processes they have developed, implemented and practiced at its cannabis facilities relating to the commercial growth, cultivation, marketing and distribution of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana pursuant to relevant state laws and the right to use and to license such information, including trade secrets, skills and experience (present and future) (the “Medicine Man Denver License Agreement”).

 

The Company commenced its business on May 1, 2014 and currently generate revenues derived from licensing agreements with cannabis related entities, as well as sponsoring seminars offered to the cannabis industry and other business endeavors related to our core competencies.

 

1. Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the quarters ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company primarily used revenues from its operation supplemented by cash to fund its operations.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date. The Company had $15,204,587 and $321,788 classified as cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

The Company maintains its cash balances with a high-credit-quality financial institution. At times, such cash may be more than the insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents.

 

In an effort to mitigate credit risk, the Company may purchase highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. At September 30, 2019, the Company had two United States Treasury Bills with a maturity date of October 15, 2019 and bearing interest at a rate of approximately 1.69%.

 

The following table depicts the composition of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018:

 

   

September 30,

2019

   

December 31,

2018

 
             
Deposits placed with banks   $ 2,974,122     $ 321,788  
United States Treasury Bills     12,230,465        
Total cash and cash equivalents   $ 15,204,587     $ 321,788  

 

 

 

  8  

 

 

The Company has recently elected to accelerate its organic growth path through additional marketing, team development, synergistic acquisitions, and other corporate activities wherein it expects to generate negative cash flow and an additional demand for capital to fuel such growth.

 

The Company has commenced legal action against a client for breach of contract, adding a significant value to its receivables for fees that had been booked due to forbearance grants by the Company that were subsequently violated, causing the Company to increase its receivables accordingly (see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings for more information).

 

2. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based upon amounts that differ from these estimates.

  

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net earnings and financial position.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payables and tenant deposits. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these instruments approximate the interest rate on debt with similar terms available to us. The Company’s derivative liability was adjusted to fair market value at the end of each reporting period, using Level 3 inputs.

 

The following is the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

December 31,

2018

 
             
Level 3 – Non-marketable securities – non-recurring   $ 741,307     $ 2,199,344  

 

Non-Marketable Securities at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The level 3 position consist of investments accounted for under the cost method. The Level 3 position consists of investments in equity securities held in private companies.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash and current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Available for sale securities are recorded at current market value as of the date of this report.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable related to licensing and consulting revenues are recorded at the time the milestone results in the funds being due being achieved, services are delivered, and payment is reasonably assured. Licensing and consulting revenues are generally collected from 30 to 60 days after the invoice is sent.

 

The following table depicts the composition of our accounts receivable as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018:

The Company commenced legal action against a customer for breach of contract, adding a significant value to its receivables for fees that had been booked, due to forbearance grants by the Company that were subsequently violated, causing the Company to increase its receivables accordingly. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the accounts receivable for this matter totaled $2,773,321 and $990,864, and the related revenue recorded totaled $1,782,457 and $1,015,154 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

On June 7, 2019 the company filed a complaint against a second customer in Clark County, Nevada, for, amongst other causes of action, breach of contract. On July 17, 2019, the parties stipulated to stay the case in favor of arbitration. Since that time, the parties have been in the process of mutually agreeing upon an arbitrator, which has now completed. The parties are now in the process of scheduling the arbitration. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 the accounts receivable for this matter totaled $290,647.

 

The Company provided services to this customer for a period of thirteen months, agreeing conditionally to three modifications in December of 2017, March of 2018, and May of 2018 to forego certain revenue sharing payments in accordance with the agreement with the customer, which were subsequently breached by the customer. In July 2018, the Company engaged legal counsel and filed a complaint in Clark County, Nevada, which alleged breach of contract and sought general, special, and punitive damages in the amount of $3,876,850. On August 2, 2019, a jury in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada found in favor of the Company and awarded the Company damages totaling $2,773,321 (See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings for more information). The Company has classified the awarded amount receivable as a non-current asset since the customer has subsequently filed an appeal.

 

On March 22, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement of Sale of Future Receipts (“Factoring Agreement”) with Libertas Funding, LLC (“Purchaser”). Under the terms of the Factoring Agreement, the Purchaser acquired $810,000 of certain future receivables from the Company for $582,000 in net proceeds. The Company is required to repay Purchaser $24,107 weekly for an estimated term of eight months. On July 2, 2019, the Company repaid $436,607 which represented all remaining amounts owed under the Factoring Agreement. The Company recorded $192,277 in interest expense related to the Factoring Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Due to the low volume of write offs, the Company uses the direct write off method versus having an allowance for uncollectible debts. The Company recorded wrote off $6,423 of its accounts receivable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company did not write off any of its accounts receivable in either of the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2018.

 

The Company analyzed the contract, associated revenue and litigation process under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. As detailed above, the Company had a contract with the customer that identified distinct performance obligations to be satisfied over time. Additionally, it determined that the litigation process, and subsequent award, represented a contract modification.

 

Paragraph 606-10-25 states that an entity transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time if one of the following criteria is met:

 

· The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs.
· The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.
· The entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity, and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

 

 

 

  11  

 

 

Paragraph 606-10-25 further states that the process for determining the proper treatment for a contract modification includes three steps:

 

· Determine whether a change to a contract qualifies as a contract modification.
· Determine whether the modification should be treated as a separate, standalone contract or as a modification of the original contract. If the contract is a separate contract, the entity follows the five-step model to determine how to recognize revenue. If the modification is not treated as a separate contract, the entity continues to Step 3.
· Determine appropriate accounting treatment for contract modification not accounted for as a separate contract.

 

ASC 606 defines a contract modification as a change in scope and/or price to an original contract, or any change to the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties to the original contract. Enforceable rights and obligations are those that are approved by both parties and legally required. A contract modification does not need to be written; enforceable changes can be the result of oral agreements or implied through customary business practices.

 

The effect that the modification has on the transaction price, and on the entity’s measure of progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue at the date of the modification. The adjustment to revenue is made on a cumulative catch-up basis.

 

As management determined that the litigation process constituted a contract modification, and that the contract was upheld judicially, the Company recognized and recorded $1,782,457 on a cumulative catch-up basis as of August 2, 2019.

  

Notes Receivable

 

On July 17, 2018, the Company entered into an intellectual property license agreement with Abba Medix Corp. (AMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of publicly traded Canada House Wellness Group, Inc. (CHV). The Company agreed to provide a lending facility to AMC in CAD$125,000 increments of up to CAD$500,000. The lending facility is for a term of 24 months and bears interest rate at 5.50% (representing United States Prime). As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company loaned to AMC a total of $237,246 and $92,888, respectively. The Company classified these loans as long-term notes receivable on its consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Other Assets (Current and Non-Current)

 

Other assets at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 were $774,856 and $50,824, respectively and as of September 30, 2019 this balance included $573,191 in prepaid expenses, $7,150 in interest receivable and $19,450 in two security deposits. Prepaid expenses were primarily comprised of insurance premiums, membership dues, conferences and seminars, and other general and administrative costs.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers. Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. The Company’s amortizable intangible assets consist of licensing agreements, product licenses and registrations, and intellectual property or trade secrets. Their estimated useful lives range from 10 to 15 years.

 

 

 

  12  

 

 

Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company-specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

 

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform an impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests.

 

The Company performed its annual fair value assessment at December 31, 2018, on its subsidiaries with material goodwill and intangible asset amounts on their respective balance sheets and determined that no impairment exists.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable. The long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value.

 

The Company evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets on December 31, 2018 on its subsidiaries with material amounts on their respective balance sheets and determined that no impairment exists.

 

Accounts Payable

 

Accounts payable at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 were $915,651 and $202,515, respectively and were comprised of trade payables for various purchases and services rendered during the ordinary course of business.

 

 

 

  13  

 

 

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities

 

Accrued expenses and other liabilities at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 were $485,292 and $291,084, respectively. At September 30, 2019, this was comprised of customer deposits of $188,568, accrued payroll of $203,788, and operating expenses of $92,936.

 

At December 31, 2018, this was comprised of $163,568 in customer deposits, $21,330 in deferred rent expense and $106,185 in accrued payroll.

 

Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances

 

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because the amount and timing of revenue is a key component of our results of operations. Certain criteria are required to be met in order to recognize revenue. If these criteria are not met, then the associated revenue is deferred until is the criteria are met. When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. Our revenue contracts are identified when accepted from customers and represent a single performance obligation to sell our products to a customer.

 

The Company has three main revenue streams: product sales; licensing and consulting, cultivation max; and other operating revenues from seminars, reimbursements and other miscellaneous sources.

 

Revenue from cultivation max, licensing and consulting services is recognized when the obligations to the client are fulfilled which is determined when milestones in the contract are achieved.

 

Product sales are recorded at the time that control of the products is transferred to customers. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. Based on the assessment of control indicators, sales are generally recognized when products are delivered to customers.

 

Revenue from seminar fees is related to one-day seminars and is recognized as earned upon the completion of the seminar. The Company also recognizes expense reimbursement from clients as revenue for expenses incurred during certain jobs.

 

Costs of Goods and Services Sold

 

Costs of goods and services sold are comprised of related expenses incurred while supporting the implementation and sales of the Company’s products and services.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expense are comprised of all expenses not linked to the production or advertising of the Company’s services.

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $212,506 and $340,995 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to $32,110 and $109,650, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

 

 

  14  

 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based payments pursuant to ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” and, accordingly, the Company records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock and restricted stock awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

  

Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the vesting period of the award or expensed immediately under ASC 718 and EITF 96-18 when stock or options are awarded for previous or current service without further recourse.

  

Share based expense paid through direct stock grants is expensed as occurred. Since the Company’s common stock is publicly traded, the value is determined based on the number of shares issued and the trading value of the stock on the date of the transaction. Prior to the Company’s common stock being traded the Company used the most recent valuation. The Company recognized $940,870 and $3,166,276 in expenses for stock-based compensation to employees and consultants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to $837,500 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC Topic 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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.

 

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

FASB ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to record right-to-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. The new guidance will classify leases as either finance or operating (similar to current standard’s “capital” or “operating” classification), with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition in the statement of income. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this pronouncement and has reflected the value of all leases within the Balance Sheet of the Company.

 

FASB ASU 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)” – In August 2016, the FASB issued 2016-15. Stakeholders indicated that there is a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our statement of cash flows.

 

 

 

  15  

 

 

FASB ASU 2017-01 “Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805)” – In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-1. The new guidance that changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those years. Adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

6. Derivative Liability

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into employment agreements with certain key officers that contained contingent consideration provisions based upon the achievement of certain market condition milestones. The Company determined that each of these vesting conditions represented derivative instruments.

 

On January 8, 2019, the Company granted the right to receive 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to an officer, which will vest at such time that that the Company’s stock price appreciates to $8.00 per share with defined minimum average daily trading volume thresholds.

 

On April 23, 2019, the Company granted the right to receive 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to an officer, which will vest at such time that that the Company’s stock price appreciates to $8.00 per share with defined minimum average daily trading volume thresholds. Similarly, on June 11, 2019, the Company granted the right to receive 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to an officer, which will vest at such time that that the Company’s stock price appreciates to $8.00 per share with defined minimum average daily trading volume thresholds.

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with the US GAAP accounting guidance under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives at the respective balance sheet dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based upon the following inputs: (i) stock price on the date of grant ranging between $1.32 - $3.75, (ii) the contractual term of the derivative instrument ranging between 2.25 - 3 years, (iii) a risk-free interest rate ranging between 1.56% - 2.57% and (iv) an expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock ranging between 136% - 158%.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of these derivative liabilities is $5,852,649. The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $197,526 and $452,090, respectively, resulting in an aggregate unrealized loss on derivative liabilities.

8. Goodwill and Acquisition Accounting

 

On September 17, 2018, we closed the acquisition of Two JS LLC, dba The Big Tomato, a Colorado limited liability company. (“Big T” or “Big Tomato”). The Company issued an aggregate of 1,933,329 shares of its common stock for 100% ownership of Big Tomato. The Company accounted for the transaction utilizing purchase price accounting stating that net book value approximates fair market value of the assets acquired. The purchase price accounting resulted in the Company valuing the investment as $3,000,000 of Goodwill. At September 17, 2018, the Company’s per share value of common stock was $1.55. There is no requirement for Big Tomato to have independent audited financial statement for the prior two fiscal years and any interim periods because the aggregate value of the acquisition is less than 20% of the Company’s current assets.

9. Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – “Earnings per Share”, the basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company's earnings (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis were $(0.05) and $0.18 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $(0.44) and $0.19 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

10. Inventory

 

As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively, the Company had $407,708 and $489,239 of finished goods inventory. The Company only has finished goods within inventory because it does not produce any of its products. All inventory is produced by a third party. The Company uses the FIFO inventory valuation method. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any obsolescence within its inventory.

 

11. Note Payable

 

The Company had a note payable to the Company’s Chief Cultivation Officer, Joshua Haupt. The balance of the note as of December 31, 2017 totaled $58,280 and was repaid in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

 

12. Leases

 

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet at the time of lease commencement or modification of a right of use (“RoU”) operating lease asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lease costs are recognized in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis. RoU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

 

The Company's leases consist of real estate leases for office spaces. The Company elected to combine the lease and related non-lease components for its operating leases.

 

The Company’s operating leases include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are not included in the determination of the RoU asset or lease liability unless reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company's operating leases have remaining lease terms of less than two years. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The discount rate used in the computations was 6%.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Over the past three years, the Company has supported legislation in Colorado to allow licensed cannabis companies in Colorado to trade their securities, provided they are reporting companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. HB19-1090 titled, “Publicly Licensed Marijuana Companies” was signed into Colorado legislature on May 29, 2019, and will go into effect on November 1, 2019. The bill repeals the provision that prohibits publicly traded corporations from holding a marijuana license in Colorado.

The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC 480, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company estimates the fair value of warrants at date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There is a moderate degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate the warrants, and the assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model are moderately judgmental.

The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants at date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following inputs: (i) stock price on the date of grant of $1.49, (ii) the contractual term of the warrant of 3 years, (iii) a risk-free interest rate of 2.48% and (iv) an expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock of 126%.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 9,800,000 common stock purchase warrants to various accredited investors with an exercise price of $3.50 per share with an expiration date of three years from the date of issuance. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants at date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following inputs: (i) stock price on the date of grant of $3.50, (ii) the contractual term of the warrant of 3 years, (iii) a risk-free interest rate ranging between 1.56% - 1.84% and (iv) an expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock ranging between 158% - 162%.

16. Tax Provision

 

The company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry forwards. The Company had no tax provisions as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The company had a net loss during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, increased the net loss carryforward.

 

17. Subsequent events

These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “approximately,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Historical results may not indicate future performance. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. Factors that may cause differences between actual results and those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our filings with the SEC. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated on March 20, 2014, in the State of Nevada. On May 1, 2014, we entered into an exclusive Technology License Agreement with Medicine Man Denver, Inc., f/k/a Medicine Man Production Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“Medicine Man Denver”) whereby Medicine Man Denver granted us a license to use all of its proprietary processes it had developed, implemented and practiced at its cannabis facilities relating to the commercial growth, cultivation, marketing and distribution of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana pursuant to relevant state laws and the right to use and to license such information, including trade secrets, skills and experience (present and future) (the “Medicine Man Denver License Agreement”).

 

We commenced our business on May 1, 2014 and currently generate revenues derived from licensing agreements with cannabis related entities, as well as sponsoring seminars offered to the cannabis industry and other business endeavors related to our core competencies. As of the date of this report we have or have had 45 fee generating clients in 14 different states. In addition, we operate a division that sells grower supplies and a plant nutrient product line.

 

Recent Developments

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we started our transition from being primarily a cannabis consulting and products company to becoming a company that operates plant touching production, processing, research and retail operations. This transition into operations was facilitated with the passage of Colorado House Bill 1090 signed by Governor Jared Polis on May 30, 2019. Over the first two quarters of 2019, we invested a significant amount of time, effort and resources into preparing for this transition.

 

Through the date of this filing, we have entered into binding terms sheets to acquire the cannabis research, production, processing and distributions of various entities that we believe, once consummated, will generate material future revenues for the Company.

 

The target entities combined have the capacity to grow product over 1,275,680 square feet of cultivation including, 42,000 square feet of indoor cultivation; 14,000 square feet of greenhouse cultivation; and 1,219,680 square feet of outdoor cultivation. The target entities own retail branded products that are currently distributed in over 400 retail locations throughout the state of Colorado, including Alivar; Become; Batch; Purplebees; and Dabble.

 

The acquisitions are subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, compliance with all required regulatory requirements necessary to complete our acquisition of the target entities. We will continue to evaluate and negotiate additional acquisition opportunities in line with our growth strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate the announced proposed acquisitions or any future acquisitions that we target.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we generated revenues of $5,338,869 including (i) product sales of $2,760,195, (ii) consulting, licensing and Cultivation Max fees of $2,563,478, of which includes $1,782,457 in revenue awarded in litigation, and (iii) other operating revenues of $15,195 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2018, where we generated revenues of $4,672,519 including (i) product sales of $382,846, (ii) consulting, licensing and Cultivation Max fees of $4,259,439, of which includes $1,015,154 in revenue subsequently awarded in litigation, and (iii) other operating revenues of $30,234. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased by $666,349, or approximately 14.3%, over the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Cost of goods and services, consisting of expenses related to delivery of services and product procurement, was $2,786,244 during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $459,280 during the comparable period in 2018. This increase was due to increased sales of product and increased salaries and related employment costs.

 

Operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2019, were $3,478,232, compared to operating expenses of $1,842,954 incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $1,635,278. This increase was due to increased general and administrative expenses, professional fees, salaries and related employment costs and non-cash, stock-based compensation.

 

As a result, we generated a net loss of $1,827,978 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 (or a loss of approximately $0.05 per share), compared to net income of $4,950,601 (or income of approximately $0.18 per share) during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased by $1,798,921, or approximately 24.6%, over the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Cost of goods and services, consisting of expenses related to delivery of services and product procurement, was $5,471,369 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $1,213,194 during the comparable period in 2018. This increase was due to increased sales of product and increased salaries and related employment costs.

 

Operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $15,125,299, compared to operating expenses of $3,546,565 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $11,578,734. This increase was due to increased general and administrative expenses, professional fees, salaries and related employment costs and non-cash, stock-based compensation.

  

As a result, we generated a net loss of $13,562,446 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (or a loss of approximately $0.44 per share), compared to net income of $5,157,717 (or income of approximately $0.19 per share) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2019, we had $15,204,587 in cash and cash equivalents on hand.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $4,679,562 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4,083,893 for the similar period in 2018, a decrease of $8,763,454.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $639,365 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5,302,933 for the similar period in 2018.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $20,201,726 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,000,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company received proceeds of $19,600,000 from the private sale of our common stock as compared to $1,000,000 in proceeds from the private sale of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Additionally, the Company received $601,726 in proceeds in connection with the exercise of common stock purchase warrants during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

 

We do not expect to be cash flow positive during the fiscal year 2019 and extending into 2020. While no assurances can be provided, we believe we will generate positive cash flow from our operations upon successfully consummating certain acquisitions and merging those operations into our own. If we are successful in achieving this objective, we do not believe we will need to raise any additional capital, as we anticipate that the revenue generated from the fully integrated acquisitions will be sufficient to allow us to implement our current business plan. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete any of the contemplated acquisitions. Also, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient funds to consummate the acquisitions.

 

However, if we do not generate positive cash flow, or we do not experience a positive impact on our operations from acquisitions we may consummate, or unforeseen developments occur, we may need to raise additional capital in the form of either debt, equity or both. At this time, we are unable to state how much capital we may need. As of the date of this Report we have no commitment from any investor or investment-banking firm to provide us with any funding. Further, no assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing. Failure to obtain this additional financing may have a material negative impact on our ability to generate profits on a regular basis in the future.

 

Inflation

 

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the condensed financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
