Note 1 – Background and Significant Accounting Policies
GB Sciences, Inc. (“the Company”, “GB Sciences”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) seeks to be a biopharmaceutical research and cannabinoid-based drug development company whose goal is to create patented formulations for safe, standardized, cannabinoid therapies that target a variety of medical conditions in both the pharmaceutical and wellness markets. The Company is is engaged in the research and development of cannabinoid medicines and plans to produce cannabinoid therapies for the wellness markets based on its portfolio of intellectual property.
Through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, GBS Global Biopharma, Inc. (“GBSGB”), the Company is engaged in the research and development of cannabinoid medicines with virtual operations in North America and Europe. GBSGB assets include cannabinoid medicine intellectual property, research contracts and key supplier arrangements. GBSGB’s intellectual property covers a range of conditions and several programs are in pre-clinical animal stage of development; including Parkinson’s disease, neuropathic pain, and cardiovascular therapeutic programs. GBSGB runs a lean drug development program and takes effort to minimize expenses, including personnel, overhead, and fixed capital expenses through strategic partnerships with Universities and Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”). GBSGB’s intellectual property portfolio includes four USPTO & WIPO patent applications, four provisional USPTO patent applications, and three patent applications that we anticipate filing by June 30, 2020, as well as licenses for three additional patents covering novel cannabinoid delivery systems.
We currently hold 100% membership interests in cultivation and extraction facilities in Nevada under our subsidiaries GB Sciences Nevada, LLC ("GBSN") and GB Sciences Las Vegas, LLC ("GBLV"). On November 15, 2019, we entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (the "LOI") to sell 75% of the Company's membership interest interests in GBSN and GBLV for $3 million cash upon close and up to an additional $3 million in earn-out payments after close. In connection with the LOI, we entered into a Management Agreement with the purchaser whereby the facilities will be managed by an affiliate of the purchaser until the close of the sale. The sale is expected to close upon the successful transfer of the Nevada cultivation and production licenses. The transfer of cannabis licenses in the State of Nevada is presently subject to an indefinite moratorium, and while the moratorium is expected to be lifted shortly, we cannot provide any assurances as to the timing of the close of the sale.
We recently completed the sale of the Company's controlling interest in GB Sciences Louisiana, LLC, which has partnered with Louisiana State University to operate a cultivation and extraction facility to produce products for the medical cannabis market. As consideration for the sale of our controlling membership interest in GB Sciences Louisiana, LLC, we received an $8 million promissory note and may receive up to an additional $8 million in earn out payments. The Company retained its 50% interest in the research relationship with Louisiana State University ("LSU") and will retain an interest in rights to the intellectual property developed through the relationship with LSU.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of GB Sciences, Inc. (the “Company,” “We” or “Us”) 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, 2020. The balance sheet at March 31, 2019 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. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation
We prepare our consolidated 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. The ownership interest of non-controlling participants in subsidiaries that are not wholly owned is included as a separate component of equity. The non-controlling participants’ share of the net loss is included as “Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest” on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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, 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 and other loss contingencies. 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.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative period amounts in order to conform to the current period presentation. The current and long-term capital lease obligations recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation as finance lease obligations, current, and finance lease obligations, long term. Certain items on the unaudited statements of cash flows have been reclassified to confirm with current period presentation. In addition, the assets, liabilities, income, and cash flows of GB Sciences Louisiana, LLC have been separated from the comparative period amounts to confirm to the current period presentation as discontinued operations as the result of the sale of the Company’s interest in GB Sciences Louisiana, LLC (Note 10). The reclassifications had no effect on the reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment comprise a significant portion of our total assets. We evaluate the carrying value of property and equipment if impairment indicators are present or if other circumstances indicate that impairment may exist under authoritative guidance. The annual testing date is March 31. When management believes impairment indicators may exist, projections of the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the use of and eventual disposition of property and equipment are prepared. If the projections indicate that the carrying value of the property and equipment are not recoverable, we reduce the carrying values to fair value. These impairment tests are heavily influenced by assumptions and estimates that are subject to change as additional information becomes available. No indicators of impairment were identified by the Company as of March 31, 2019.
Inventory
We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost of our inventory, as determined using the first-in, first-out method, or its current estimated net realizable value. We periodically review our physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserve accordingly. Our reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based on expected future use.
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 current revenue source is from sales of cannabis, a distinct physical good. 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, past and present, contain 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.

Earnings/(loss) per Share
The Company’s basic loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company had 158,728,095 and 108,999,521 potentially dilutive common shares at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. However, for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, such common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2019, is presented in the following table:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (the "New Lease Standard"). This standard requires leases, other than short-term, to be recognized on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset.
Lease payments include fixed payments, variable payments based on an index or rate, reasonably certain purchase options, termination penalties, and others as required by the standard. Lease payments do not include variable lease payments other than those that depend on an index or rate, any guarantee by the lessee of the lessor’s debt, or any amount allocated to non-lease components. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and the Company adopted the standard as of April 1, 2019. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of lease classification.
The Company adopted the New Lease Standard using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date as permitted by the amendments in ASU 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements - Leases (Topic 842)." Under this method, the cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings is recognized at the adoption date. As a result, the Company was not required to adjust its comparative period financial information for effects of the standard or make the new required lease disclosures for periods before the date of adoption on April 1, 2019.
The Company's consolidated balance sheet was affected by this standard, but the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows were not significantly impacted. The most significant change to the consolidated balance sheet upon adoption on April 1, 2019 relates to the recognition of new right-of-use (ROU) assets of $182,624, net of accumulated amortizations, and operating liabilities of $190,173 at the date of adoption. The Company's accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU No 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance also specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and is effective for the Company as of April 1, 2019. The Company determined that all share-based payments were settled as of the date of the adoption, so there was no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company’s 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 $ (88,764,145) at December 31, 2019. The Company had a working capital deficit of $ (5,795,395) at December 31, 2019, compared to $ (3,245,409) including a deficit of $ (1,133,890) from discontinued operations at March 31, 2019. In addition, the Company has consumed cash in its operating activities of $ (4,248,291) including $ (1,244,721) from discontinued operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $ (7,847,751) including $ (447,852) from discontinued operations for the same period last year. 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 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 securing capital necessary to achieve 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 consolidated 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 – Inventory
Raw materials consist of supplies, materials, and consumables used in the cultivation and extraction processes. Work-in-progress includes live plants and cannabis in the drying, curing, and trimming processes. Finished goods includes completed cannabis flower, trim, extracts, and vapes in bulk and packaged forms.

Note 4 – Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and has lease agreements for warehouses, office facilities, and equipment. These commitments have remaining non-cancelable lease terms, with lease expirations which range from 2021 to 2032.
As a result of the adoption of ASC 842, certain real estate and equipment operating leases have been recorded on the balance sheet with a lease liability and right-of-use asset ("ROU"). Application of this standard resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $182,624, net of accumulated amortization, and a corresponding lease liability of $190,173 at the April 1, 2019, date of adoption. Accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged.

Operating leases are included in other current assets , accrued liabilities, and operating lease obligations, long term on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, finance lease obligations, short term, and finance lease obligations, long term, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make scheduled lease payments. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, which takes into consideration recent debt issuances as well as other applicable market data available. The rates used to discount finance leases previously recorded as capital leases range from 10.2% to 11.5%. Operating leases were discounted at a rate of 17.0%.
Lease terms include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, finance lease costs recorded in the consolidated financial statements were $ 790,666, of which $ 474,686 represents interest expense and $ 315,980 represents amortization of the right-of-use assets. Operating lease costs were $ 61,144, of which $ 22,667 represents interest expense and $ 38,477 represents amortization of the right-of-use assets.
Discontinued operations includes $ 280,227 in finance lease costs, of which $ 153,977 represents interest expense and $ 126,250 represents amortization of right-of-use assets.
Amortization of lease assets is included in general and administrative expenses. The future minimum lease payments of lease liabilities as of December 31, 2019, from continuing operations are as follows:

Note 5 – Notes Payable and Line of Credit
6% Note Payable due November 30, 2018
On July 28, 2018, the Company entered into the Amendment and Termination Agreement (“Amendment and Termination Agreement”) with Pacific Leaf Ventures, L.P (“Pacific Leaf”). Pursuant to that agreement, the Pacific Leaf Royalty Agreement and all other agreements with Pacific Leaf were terminated in their entirety, and the Company would make payments totaling $1 million of the $1.5 million balance due to Pacific Leaf by August 31, 2018. Contemporaneously with the Amendment and Termination Agreement, the Company issued a Promissory Note (“Promissory Note”) for the remaining $0.5 million due to Pacific Leaf.

In consideration for deferring the payment of the amounts due to Pacific Leaf, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Leaf on July 31, 2018 having a fair market value of $36,000. The Company made cash payments totaling $1.0 million to Pacific Leaf in August 2018 related to the Amendment and Termination Agreement.

On July 12, 2019, the Company entered into the Amendment to Note Documents and the Amended and Restated 8% Senior Secured Promissory Note (together, “Amended CSW Note”). The Amended CSW Note increased the note balance by $100,000 to reflect an additional $100,000 advanced to the Company on July 12, 2019, by $41,863 to add accrued interest to date to the principal balance, and decreased the conversion price to $0.11 per share, with the remaining terms substantially unchanged from the original CSW Note.
We evaluated the modification under the guidance in ASC 470-50 and determined that the amendment represents an extinguishment because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature exceeded 10% of the carrying value of the CSW Note on the amendment date. The carrying value of the amended note on the date of extinguishment was $1,338,057, net of a beneficial conversion feature discount of $133,806, and we recorded a loss on extinguishment of $124,158.
On August 1, 2019, the Company received notice from CSW Ventures, L.P. of the conversion of a total of $ 110,000 of the principal balance of the Amended CSW Note at $0.11 per share. Accordingly, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. In connection with the conversions, $9,579 in unamortized discount was recorded as interest expense and the Company has reduced the carrying amount of convertible notes payable by $100,421. After conversion, the remaining balance outstanding was $ 1,361,863.
On October 23, 2019, the Company entered into the Amendment to Promissory Note. The October 23, 2019 amendment decreased the conversion price to $0.08 per share, with the remaining terms substantially unchanged from the Amended CSW Note.
We evaluated the modification under the guidance in ASC 470-50 and determined that the amendment represents an extinguishment because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature exceeded 10% of the carrying value of the Amended CSW Note immediately prior to the 2nd Amended CSW Note. The carrying value of the Amended CSW Note on the date of extinguishment was $1,269,067, net of a beneficial conversion feature discount of $92,796, and we recorded a loss on extinguishment of $92,796.
On November 27, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Note Documents and the Second Amended and Restated 8% Senior Secured Promissory Note (together, “2nd Amended CSW Note”). The 2nd Amended CSW Note decreased the conversion price to $0.04 per share and increased the note balance by $30,000 to reflect an advance received on that date, with the remaining terms substantially unchanged from the Amended CSW Note.
We evaluated the modification under the guidance in ASC 470-50 and determined that the 2nd Amended CSW Note represents an extinguishment because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature exceeded 10% of the carrying value of the Amended CSW Note immediately prior to the 2nd Amended CSW Note; however, no loss on extinguishment was recorded because the net consideration paid for the 2nd Amended CSW Note was equal to the extinguished carrying value of the Amended CSW Note. The carrying value of the Amended CSW Note on the date of extinguishment was $1,361,863.

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.

The Company may also receive up to $8,000,000 in earn-out payments under the MIPA. Earn-out payments are calculated as 25% of the distributions made by GBSLA to Purchaser through September 30, 2022, and 10% of distributions made thereafter under any extension or renewal of the relationship with LSU. The Company accounts for contingent consideration under a loss recovery approach. Under a loss recovery approach, the Company records a contingent consideration asset only to the extent of the lesser of, 1) the amount that the non-contingent consideration received is exceeded by the net assets deconsolidated, or 2) the amount of contingent consideration that it is probable will be received. As of the transaction date, the Company was unable to determine that it was probable that any of the contingent consideration would be received, and accordingly no asset was recorded for contingent consideration. Subsequent measurement of contingent consideration will be based on the guidance for gain contingencies, and any gain from contingent consideration will be recorded at the time the consideration is received.
Based on the foregoing assessment of the consideration received, the Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of $4,502,058 related to the sale of its membership interest in GBSLA, calculated as follows:

Note 11 – Sale of Membership Interests in Nevada Subsidiaries
The Company operates cannabis cultivation and extraction facilities located at 3550 W. Teco Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89118. The facilities operate under two wholly-owned subsidiaries, GB Sciences, Nevada, LLC and GB Sciences Las Vegas, LLC (together, "Teco"), which hold the Company’s Nevada Licenses for the State-regulated cultivation and production of cannabis and cannabis products, respectively (the "Teco Licenses").
On November 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (the “Teco LOI”) to sell 75% of its interests in Teco to AJE Management, LLC, with the transaction closing upon transfer of the Licenses. As consideration for the transfer of membership interests, the Company will receive $3,000,000 upon closing and up to an additional $3,000,000 in earn-out payments. The transaction closes upon the approval of the transfer of the Teco Licenses by Nevada regulatory authorities. As of the date of this report, the State of Nevada has imposed a temporary moratorium on cannabis license transfers. The Company anticipates that the moratorium will be lifted in the near future but we are unable to say when the timing of the close may be.
In connection with the Teco LOI, on December 6, 2019, the Company entered into a Management Agreement with AJE Management whereby AJE Management will manage the operations of Teco until the closing of the sale of membership interests. Under the management agreement, AJE Management is entitled to receive a $75,000 monthly management fee for the duration of the management contract, to be paid out of available cash flow from Teco or no later than the close of the sale of membership interests. The management fee is accrued in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets under accrued liabilities.
In connection with the Teco LOI, the Company also entered into a Line of Credit of up to $470,000 with AJE Management (Note 5) to fund the operations of Teco. The line of credit accrues interest at a rate of 8% and the Company pledged its interest in the Teco facilites as collateral for the note, subject to the preexisting lien for collateralization of the CSW Ventures Note (Note 6).
The Company also holds a Nevada license for cultivation of medical marijuana located in Sandy Valley, Nevada (the “Nopah License”). The license is owned by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, GB Sciences Nopah, LLC ("Nopah"). Operations have not begun under the Nopah License. On November 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent to sell its 100% interest in GB Sciences Nopah, LLC to The Moore Group, Inc. (the “Nopah LOI”), with the transaction closing upon transfer of the Nopah License. As consideration for the transfer of the license, the Company will receive $300,000. The transfer of the Nopah License is subject to the same restrictions on license transfers currently in effect in the State of Nevada.

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the Company received notices of the exercise of 2,214,000 warrants at the discounted exercise price of $0.04 (Note 7) and received proceeds of $79,704, net of brokerage fees of $8,856.
