Note 1 – Background and Significant Accounting Policies 

GB Sciences, Inc. (“the Company”, “GB Sciences”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a plant-inspired, biopharmaceutical research and development company creating patented, disease-targeted formulations of cannabis- and other plant-inspired therapeutic mixtures for the prescription drug market through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, GbS Global Biopharma, Inc. (“GBSGB”).

Through GBSGB, the Company is engaged in the research and development of plant-inspired medicines, with virtual operations in North America and Europe. GBSGB’s assets include a portfolio of intellectual property containing both proprietary plant-inspired formulations and our AI-enabled drug discovery platform, as well as critical research contracts and key supplier arrangements. The Company’s intellectual property portfolio, which is held by GBSGB, contains six issued U.S. and three issued foreign patents, as well as 18 U.S. and 49 foreign patent-pending applications. On October 14th, 2021, we filed the nonprovisional USPTO patent application entitled “METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR PHYTOMEDICINE ANALYTICS FOR RESEARCH OPTIMIZATION AT SCALE" to further protect aspects of our proprietary drug discovery engine, PhAROS™, which stands for Phytomedical Analytics for Research Optimization at Scale. On March 1st, 2022, the Company’s newest patent was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a cannabinoid-containing mixture designed to treat cardiac hypertrophy, often present in advanced heart disease. The Company’s newly issued patent also covers the use of these receptor-targeted formulations for the treatment of TRPV1-receptor associated hearing loss and urinary cystitis.

GBSGB’s intellectual property covers a range of over 65 medical conditions, from which five drug development programs are in the preclinical stage of drug development including our formulations for Parkinson’s disease ("PD"), chronic pain, COVID-related cytokine release syndrome, depression/anxiety, and cardiovascular therapeutic programs. The Company’s primary focus is on preparing its lead program for the treatment of the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease for a first-in-human clinical trial. Depending on the results of ongoing preclinical studies, the Company intends to move forward with clinical trials for its chronic pain and COVID-related cytokine release syndrome therapies after PD. The Company’s formulations for chronic pain, anxiety, and depression are currently in preclinical animal studies with researchers at the National Research Council Canada. The Company also recently received positive preclinical proof-of-concept data supporting its complex mixtures for the treatment of Cytokine Release Syndrome related to COVID-19, and its lead candidates will be optimized based on late-stage preclinical studies at Michigan State University. Proof-of-concept studies in animals that support our heart disease formulations have been successfully completed at the University of Hawaii. The Company runs a lean drug development program through GBSGB and takes effort to minimize expenses, including personnel, overhead, and fixed capital expenses through strategic partnerships with Universities and Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”). Our productive research and development network includes distinguished universities, hospitals, and Contract Research Organizations. 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of GB Sciences, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2023. The balance sheet at  March 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

We prepare our consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the United States of America. Our consolidated financial statements include all operating divisions and majority-owned subsidiaries, reported as a single operating segment, for which we maintain controlling interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All subsidiaries were wholly owned by the Company for the periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and standard cost allocations, valuation of initial right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, stock-based compensation expense, purchased intangible asset valuations, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, litigation, other loss contingencies, and impairment of long lived assets.  These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results the Company experiences may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.

Discontinued Operations

See Note 3.

Indefinite and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

Our indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily represent the value of our patents pending and includes the costs paid to draft and file patent applications. Upon issuance of the patents, the indefinite-lived intangible assets will have finite lives. We amortize our finite-lived intangible assets, which consist of granted patents, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, and we periodically evaluate the remaining useful lives of our finite-lived intangible assets to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.

We review all of our intangible assets for impairment indicators throughout the year. Impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed at least annually and we perform testing for definite-lived intangible assets whenever impairment indicators are present. If we determine that the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets during testing, we record impairment losses equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the fair market value of the asset.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had six patents that have been granted in the United States, including two licensed patents and four patents assigned to the Company's subsidiary, GBS Global Biopharma, Inc. The patents owned by the Company expire between January 2038 and May 2039. Amortization expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $61,660 and $28,829, respectively. The carrying amount of finite-lived intangible assets was $1,324,785 at December 31, 2022.

There were 18 United States patent applications that are pending as of December 31, 2022, and the corresponding patent assets are treated as indefinite-lived intangible assets. The carrying amount of the indefinite-lived patent assets was $1,010,471 at December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company had $23,447 of indefinite-lived trademark assets at December 31, 2022.

Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable

The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”.  A beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of any attached equity instruments, if any related equity instruments were granted with the debt. In accordance with this guidance, the BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note's proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a reduction of the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to additional paid-in-capital. The Company calculates the fair value of warrants issued with the convertible notes using the Black-Scholes valuation model and uses the same assumptions for valuing any employee options in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. The only difference is that the contractual life of the warrants is used.

The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants on a relative fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 as guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue recognition depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company adopted the guidance on April 1, 2018 and applied the cumulative catch-up transition method.

The Company’s only material revenue source was part of discontinued operations prior to the sale of the Nevada Subsidiaries (Note 8), and was derived from sales of distinct physical goods. Under ASC 606, the Company is required to separately identify each performance obligation resulting from its contracts from customers, which may be a good or a service. A contract may contain one or more performance obligations. All of the Company’s contracts with customers contained only a single performance obligation, the delivery of distinct physical goods. Because fulfillment of the company’s performance obligation to the customer under ASC 606 results in the same timing of revenue recognition as under the previous guidance (i.e. revenue is recognized upon delivery of physical goods), the Company did not record any material adjustment to report the cumulative effect of initial application of the guidance.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax items are reflected at the enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Due to the uncertainty regarding the success of future operations, management has valued the deferred tax asset allowance at 100% of the related deferred tax assets.

Because the Company previously operated in the State-licensed cannabis industry through its now-deconsolidated Nevada Subsidiaries, gross profits from those subsidiaries was subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 280E (“280E”) for U.S. income tax purposes. Under 280E, the Company was allowed to deduct expenses that were directly related to the production of its products, i.e. cost of goods sold, but was allowed no further deductions for ordinary and necessary business expenses from its gross profit. The Company believes that the deductions disallowed include the deduction of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"). The unused NOLs will continue to carry forward and may be used by the Company to offset future taxable income that is not subject to the limitations of 280E.

Earnings and loss per Share 

The Company’s basic earnings and loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company had 173,786,468 and 131,059,194 potentially dilutive common shares, related to convertible debt, warrants, and stock options, at  December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively; however, those shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Of the potentially dilutive shares at December 31, 2021, 106,174,448 and 104,447,872 were not included in the computation of  diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The computation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Recently Adopted

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This guidance clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options due to a lack of explicit guidance in the FASB Codification. The ASU 2021-04 is effective for The Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2022. The Company adopted the standard on April 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard requires the use of an “expected loss” model on certain types of financial instruments. The standard also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and requires estimated credit losses to be recorded as allowances instead of reductions to amortized cost of the securities. The Company will adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2023 and does not expect a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The guidance simplifies the current guidance for convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Additionally, the amendments affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. This ASU will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update must be applied on either full retrospective basis or modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(deficit) in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, as well as the timing of adoption.

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Note 2 – Going Concern

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained net losses since inception, which have caused an accumulated deficit of $105,840,040 at December 31, 2022. The Company had a working capital deficit of $3,962,864 at December 31, 2022, compared to a deficit of $3,607,638 at March 31, 2022. In addition, the Company has consumed cash in its operating activities of $1,306,971 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1,200,915 used in operating activities, including $87,772 used in discontinued operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses through debt financings, a public offering, private placements and obtaining operating funds from stockholders. The Company is continuing to seek sources of financing.  There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.

In view of these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or capital sources, to meet its financing requirements, and ultimately to achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations comprise those activities that were disposed of during the period or which were classified as held for sale at the end of the period and represent a separate major line of business or geographical area that can be clearly distinguished for operational and financial reporting purposes. The Company has included its subsidiaries GB Sciences Nevada, LLC, GB Sciences Las Vegas, LLC, and GB Sciences Nopah, LLC (the "Nevada Subsidiaries") in discontinued operations due to the sale of the Company's Nevada cultivation and extraction facilities. The assets and liabilities of the Nevada Subsidiaries were deconsolidated at December 31, 2021 due to the completion of the sale on that date (Note 8).

There were no assets and liabilities associated with discontinued operations as of December 31, 2022 and  March 31, 2022. The revenues and expenses associated with discontinued operations included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 were as follows:

Note 4  – Notes and Convertible Notes Payable

0% Note Payable dated October 23, 2017

On March 4, 2022, the Company entered into the Second Promissory Note Modification Agreement, which reduced the total outstanding balance of principal and interest from $201,532 (at the time of the agreement) to $179,127 and modified the terms of the note to provide that the Company would make an immediate payment of $75,000, with $5,000 monthly payments thereafter until the note is repaid in full. The modification also provided that the note would bear interest at 8.0% per annum.

At December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the note was $69,143, and accrued interest was $712. The Company made regular payments totaling $40,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, of which $5,016 represented interest payments, and $34,984 was applied to the principal balance of the note.

March 2017 and July 2017 Convertible Note Offerings

In March 2017, the Company entered into a Placement Agent’s Agreement with a third-party brokerage firm to offer units consisting of a $1,000 6% promissory note convertible into 4,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share and 4,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s’ common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for the period of three years. Between March 2017 and May 2017, the Company issued short-term Promissory Notes (“Notes”) to various holders with combined face value of $2,000,000. The Notes are payable within three years of issuance and are convertible into 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also issued 8,000,000 common stock warrants to the Noteholders. The warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time before maturity at the option of the holder. Each warrant gives the Noteholder the right to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for a period of three years. The Company recorded an aggregate discount on convertible notes of $1,933,693, which included $904,690 related to the relative fair value of beneficial conversion features and $1,029,003 for the relative fair value of the warrants issued with each note. The fair value of warrants was derived using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

In July 2017, the Company entered into a Placement Agent’s Agreement with a third-party brokerage firm to offer units consisting of a $1,000 6% promissory note convertible into 4,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share and 4,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s’ common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share for the period of three years. Between July 2017 and December 2017, the Company issued short-term Promissory Notes (“Notes”) to various holders with combined face value of $7,201,000. The Notes are payable within three years of issuance and are convertible into 28,804,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also issued 28,804,000 common stock warrants to the Note holders. The warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time before maturity at the option of the holder. Each warrant gives the Noteholder the right to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 per share for a period of three years. The Company recorded an aggregate discount on convertible notes of $7,092,796, which included $3,142,605 related to the relative fair value of beneficial conversion features and $3,950,191 for the relative fair value of the warrants issued with each note. The fair value of warrants was derived using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

All notes from the March and July 2017 offerings have passed their maturity dates. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company agreed to extensions with the holders of a total of $197,000 of the $1,257,000 that remained outstanding at the time. For the $197,000 of extended notes, the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price to $0.10 per share and issued a total of 788,000 additional warrants to the holders of the notes with a term of three years and an exercise price of $0.10 per share. In exchange, the maturity date of the notes was extended to September 30, 2023. Using the Black-Scholes model, the Company valued the warrants at $13,396 and the change in the fair value of the conversion feature at $33,490. Because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature exceeded 10% of the carrying amount of the notes, the Company accounted for the modification of the notes as an extinguishment and recorded a discount on the new convertible notes of $46,886 related to the fair value of the new warrants issued and the change in the fair value of the conversion feature. The Company recorded interest expense of $21,295 on the new notes during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, of which $12,389 represented amortization of the note discounts. Accrued interest on the $197,000 extended notes is $65,058 and the remaining unamortized discount was $13,865 at December 31, 2022.

Three convertible notes totaling $1,060,000 held by the same investor remained outstanding during the year ended March 31, 2022. On January 20, 2022, the Company repaid $500,000 of the principal balances owed to the investor ($500k Notes"), and one convertible note in the amount of  $560,000 ("$560k Note") remained outstanding plus accrued interest on all three notes totaling $294,497. The notes do not provide for a default penalty or penalty interest rate. On September 28, 2022, the Company entered into the $560,000 Note Extension Agreement ("$560k Extension") with the investor. The $560k Extension provides that the due date of the $560,000 Note is extended to October 1, 2023, and the interest rate of the $560k Note is increased to 8% per annum beginning October 1, 2022. In addition, the Company agreed to make immediate payment of the outstanding accrued interest balance of $129,534 on the $500k Notes. The Company made the payment of $129,534 on October 5, 2022 and no principal or accrued interest balances remain outstanding on the $500k Notes.

At December 31, 2022, the accrued interest balance outstanding on the $560k Note due October 1, 2023 was $184,723. Interest expense was $28,138 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

December 2020 $625,000 6% Convertible Note Offering

On December 18, 2020, the Company began an offering of 6.0% convertible notes for the purpose of funding a pre-clinical study of the Company's patent-pending Cannabinoid-Containing Complex Mixtures for the treatment of Cytokine Release Syndromes, including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, in COVID-19 patients. The Company pledged the related intellectual property as security for the notes. The notes are convertible at a rate of $0.05 per share at the lender's request. To date, the Company has issued $625,000 in convertible notes under the offering to three investors. $375,000 of the notes matured between January 31, 2022 and July 1, 2022, and $250,000 mature in December 2023. Payment of accrued interest and principal is due at maturity. The Company received cash of $543,750, net of brokerage fees, and recorded discounts on the convertible notes totaling $81,250 related to the issuance costs. Notes totaling $425,000 were issued with in-the-money conversion features, and the Company recorded beneficial conversion feature discounts totaling $347,000 on the related notes.

A $300,000 note ("$300k Note"), a $25,000 note ("$25k Note") due January 18, 2022, and a $50,000 note due July 1, 2022 ("$50k Note") have passed their original maturity dates. On September 28, 2022, the Company entered into the $300,000 Note Extension Agreement ("$300k Extension") with the holder of the $300k Note, which extends the maturity date of that note to October 1, 2023 and increases the interest rate to 8% per annum beginning October 1, 2022. The $25k Note and $50k Note remain in default and the Company intends to negotiate terms of an extension with the note holders. The notes do not provide for a default penalty or a penalty interest rate.

At December 31, 2022, notes with a carrying amount of $582,950 were included in short term notes and convertible notes payable, net of unamortized discounts of $42,050. Interest expense related to the notes was $62,715 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, which includes $32,949 from amortization of the note discounts.

Note 5 – Capital Transactions

Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

On May 9, 2022 the Company entered into a Placement Agent's Agreement with its brokers for the private placement of up to $565,000 in units at a price of $0.03 per unit. For each unit purchased, the investor will receive one share of the Company's common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.10 for a period of five years. On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into the Amendment to the Placement Agent's Agreement which extended the placement to November 30, 2022 and increased the amount to $2,000,000, all other terms remaining the same.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company received $1,413,750 under the private placement, net of brokerage fees of $211,250, and issued 54,168,337 shares of its common stock and 54,168,337 warrants to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at $0.10 for five years.

As the result of the units sold to date under the private placement, the Company will issue its brokers 5,416,834 compensation warrants to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at $0.03 per share for a period of five years. The Company valued the compensation warrants at $0.0273 or $147,879 using the Black-Scholes model.

Employee Option Grant

On August 25, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a commitment to grant options to a total of seven persons which include the officers and directors of the Company, who will be instrumental in obtaining an up-listing of the common shares of the Company onto the NASDAQ Stock Market.  The Options will be granted to the employees on the effective date of the up-listing (the “Effective Date”), and will equal options sufficient to purchase 13% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis, as of the Effective Date.  The exercise price of one Option will equal 80% of the value of one share of common stock on the Effective Date. The options will be accounted for once the performance condition (the up-listing) is probable.

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

On April 11, 2022, the Company was served notice of a lawsuit filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada by an individual who alleges he was shot by a security guard at the Teco Facility in May of 2020. The alleged incident occurred after the claimant broke into the Teco Facility during closing hours. GB Sciences, Inc. and its former subsidiaries GB Sciences Nevada, LLC and GB Sciences Las Vegas, LLC, along with the security provider, Protective Force International, Inc. ("PFI"), were named as defendants in the lawsuit. The Company denies any liability and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. The Company holds a certificate of insurance with the insurer for PFI and the insurer accepted the Company's defense tender on September 28, 2022. The insurance policy covers up to $1,000,000 for each occurrence. We are unable to make any determination at this time as to the likelihood or amount of damages.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, based on consultations with outside counsel, the results of any of these ordinary course matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. As more information becomes available, if management should determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable on such a claim and that the amount of such probable loss that it will incur on that claim is reasonably estimable, the Company would record a reserve for the claim in question. If and when the Company records such a reserve, it could be material and could adversely impact its results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Note 7 – Related Party Transactions

None.

Note 8 – Sale of Membership Interests in Nevada Subsidiaries

On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("Teco MIPA") with AJE Management, LLC. Pursuant to the Teco MIPA, the Company agreed to sell 100% of its membership interests in GB Sciences Nevada, LLC, and GB Sciences Las Vegas, LLC (the "Teco Subsidiaries") for approximately $8 million, which amount includes a cash payment at closing, the extinguishment and/or repayments of certain liabilities owed to the purchaser and affiliates of the purchaser, and an 8% promissory note.

On August 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("Nopah MIPA") and Promissory Note Modification Agreement with 483 Management, LLC. Pursuant to the Nopah MIPA, the Company agreed to sell its 100% membership interest in GB Sciences Nopah, LLC ("Nopah"), which holds a Nevada medical marijuana cultivation certificate. As consideration, the Company would receive $312,315 in consideration in the form of a $237,668 reduction to the outstanding principal and accrued interest balances of the 0% Note payable dated October 23, 2017 (Note 4), and extinguishment of accounts payable of $74,647, which were owed to an affiliate of the purchaser.

The closing of the Teco and Nopah sales was contingent upon the successful transfer of the Nevada cultivation and production licenses. On December 14, 2021, the Company received approval from the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board for the transfer of cannabis cultivation and extraction licenses held by its subsidiaries GB Sciences Nevada, LLC, GB Sciences Las Vegas, LLC, and GB Sciences Nopah, LLC (the "Nevada Subsidiaries"). Consequently, all conditions to closing the sales of the 100% membership interests in the Nevada Subsidiaries were satisfied, and the transactions formally closed on December 31, 2021. After the closing date, the Company retains no ownership interest in the Nevada Subsidiaries.

As the result of sale, the income, assets, and cash flows of GB Sciences Nevada, LLC, GB Sciences Las Vegas, LLC, and GB Sciences Nopah, LLC have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements prior to the sale.

Note Receivable from Sale of Teco Subsidiaries

The $3,025,000 note receivable from the sale of the Teco Subsidiaries is payable as quarterly, interest only payments of $60,500 for the first year, followed by seven quarterly payments of interest and principal of $201,774 beginning March 31, 2023, with a final payment of principal and interest totaling $2,014,225 on December 31, 2024.

The note contains a provision that allows payments of principal and interest due prior to the maturity date to be postponed to the next quarterly payment date if cash flow from the operations of the facility is insufficient to cover the amount of the payment. Several days prior to the first interest payment due date of April 1, 2022, AJE Management, LLC notified the Company that it would be postponing the payment of interest of $60,500 due on April 1, 2022 due to insufficient cash flow to make the payment. AJE Management, LLC was also unable to make the interest payment due July 1, 2022 due to insufficient cash flow. As a result, the Company reevaluated the factors relating to the collectibility of the note and recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $3,025,000 at March 31, 2022, equal to the full balance of the note, as there is substantial uncertainty around the collectibility of the note, and we are unable to make an appropriate estimate of the amount of payments, if any, the Company will ultimately receive.
