MariMed Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

MariMed Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a multi-state organizationoperator in the emerging legalcannabis industry. The Company is an expert in the development, operation, management, and optimization of facilities for the cultivation, production and dispensing of medicinal and recreational cannabis and hemp industries. Duringcannabis-infused products. To date, the Company has developed in excess of 300,000 square feet of state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities.

At the outset of the Company’s entrance into the cannabis industry, the Company provided advisory services and assistance to its clients in the procurement of state-issued cannabis licenses, leased its cannabis facilities to these newly-licensed clients, and provided industry-leading expertise and oversight in all aspects of their cannabis operations, as well as ongoing regulatory, accounting, human resources, and administrative services. Since this time, the Company successfully secured 19 cannabis licenses across six states—2in Delaware, 5in Illinois, 3in Maryland, 6in Massachusetts, two in Nevada, and one in Rhode Island.

The Company has demonstrated an excellent track record developing and operating licensed cannabis facilities, and implementing its proprietary operating procedures and industry best practices. In 2018, the Company madecommenced a strategic decisionplan to transition from a management andan advisory firmbusiness that provides cannabis licensing, operational consulting and real estate services, to a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations, dedicated to improvingthe improvement of health and wellness through the use of cannabinoids and cannabis products.

Further, with the enactmentThe Company’s strategic plan consists of the 2018 U.S. Farm Billacquisition of its cannabis-licensed clients located in five states—Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Nevada—and the consolidation of these entities under the MariMed banner. The Company has played a key role in the successes of these entities, from the securing of their cannabis licenses, to the development of facilities that are models of excellence, to providing operational and corporate guidance. Accordingly, the Company believes it is well suited to own these facilities and manage the continuing growth of their operations.

A goal in completing this transition is to present a simpler, more transparent financial picture to the investment community. Once the consolidation is complete, the Company’s financial statements will provide a clearer representation of the revenues, earnings, and other financial metrics that the Company is generating, and a reflection of the full breadth of the Company’s overall business.

To date, acquisitions of the licensed businesses in Massachusetts and Illinois have been state-approved and completed, and establishes the Company as a fully integrated seed-to-sale multi-state operator. The acquisitions of the remaining entities located in Delaware, Maryland, and Nevada are at various stages of completion and subject to each state’s laws governing the ownership and transfer of cannabis licenses, which in the case of Delaware requires a modification of current cannabis ownership laws to permit for-profit ownership. However, the Company continues to develop additional revenue and business in these states and plans to leverage its success to expand into other markets where cannabis is and becomes legal.

The Company has also created its own brands of cannabis flower, concentrates, and precision-dosed products utilizing proprietary strains and formulations. These products are developed by the Company in cooperation with state-licensed facilities and operators who meet the Company’s strict standards, including all natural—not artificial or synthetic—ingredients. The Company licenses its product formulations only to knowledgeable manufacturing professionals who agree to adhere to the Company’s precise scientific formulations using its trademarked product recipes.

7

The Company’s branded products are licensed under brand names including Kalm Fusion™, Nature’s Heritage™, and Betty’s Eddies™, and are distributed in the form of dissolvable strips, tablets, powders, microwaveable popcorn, fruit chews, and with more varieties in development. The Company also has exclusive sublicensing rights in certain states to distribute the Binske® line of cannabis products crafted from premium artisan ingredients, the Healer™ line of medical full-spectrum tinctures, and the clinically-tested medicinal cannabis strains developed in Israel by Tikun Olam™. The Company intends to continue licensing and distributing its brands as well as other top brands in the Company’s current markets and in recognitionpartnerships in other states markets across the country where product sale is legal.

In anticipation of the growing demand for hemp-derived cannabidiol (“CBD”), the Company madeestablished a strategic investment during 2018 in Kentucky-based GenCanna Globalwholly owned subsidiary, MariMed Hemp Inc. (“MariMed Hemp”), to market and distribute hemp-derived CBD products across several vertical markets. Prior to this, as a means of expanding into the global CBD market, the Company acquired a majority interest of MediTaurus LLC (“MediTaurus”), an international cultivator, producer,entity operating in the United States and distributorEurope that has developed proprietary CBD formulations under its Florance™ brand.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of hempCOVID-19 a global pandemic. The spread of the virus in the United States and GMP-quality CBD oilsthe measures implemented to contain it—including business shutdowns, indoor capacity restrictions, social distancing, and isolates (“GenCanna”).

To date,diminished travel—have negatively impacted the economy and have created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. Consequently, the Company’s expansion efforts and implementation of its strategic plan have been delayed. Additionally, while the cannabis industry has been deemed an essential business has secured, on behalfand is not expected to suffer severe declines in revenue, the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity have been adversely affected, as further discussed in the notes to the financial statements included in this report.

Continued disruption to the global economy may materially and adversely affect the future carrying values of itself and its clients, 12 cannabis licenses across six states—two in Delaware, two in Illinois, one in Nevada, one in Rhode Island, three in Maryland and three in Massachusetts. The Company has developed in excess of 300,000 square feet of state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of legal cannabis and cannabis-infused products, located in allcertain of the aforementioned states, except Rhode Island. Along with operational oversight of these facilities, the Company provides its clients with license procurement, business development, human resources, accounting,Company’s assets, including inventories, accounts receivables, and other corporate and administrative services.

The Company’s strategic plan is primarily comprised of acquiring its cannabis-licensed clients who currently lease the Company’s facilities, and ultimately consolidating these entities under the MariMed banner. To date, the Company has completed the acquisition of its clients in Massachusetts and Illinois, with the remaining clients under contract or in various stages of negotiation, as discussed below. Each acquisition is subject to the respective state’s approval under its laws governing the ownership and transfer of cannabis licenses. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in fully implementing its plan.

Additionally, the Company licenses its own brands of precision-dosed, cannabis- and hemp-infused products to treat specific medical conditions or to achieve a certain effect. These products are licensed under the brand names Kalm Fusion™, Nature’s Heritage™, Betty’s Eddies™, and Florance™. The Company also has exclusive sublicensing rights in certain states to distribute Lucid Mood™ vaporizer pens, DabTabs™ vaporization tablets infused with cannabis concentrates, the Binske®line of cannabis products made from premium artisan ingredients, and the clinically tested medicinal cannabis strains developed in Israel by Tikun Olam™.

Leveraging its cannabis platform and product experience,intangibles, as well as negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise working capital to support its strategic relationship with GenCanna,operations. The full extent to which COVID-19 and the measures to contain it will impact the Company’s business, operations financial condition, and liquidity will depend on the continued severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and other future developments in response to the virus, all of which are highly uncertain at this time. As a result, the Company has recently developedcannot predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on its operational and is marketing a portfolio of hemp-based CBD brands to multiple retailers and direct to consumers both domestically and internationally.financial performance.

The Company’s stock is quoted on the OTCQX market under the ticker symbol MRMD.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in January 2011 under the name Worlds Online Inc. Initially, the Company developed and managed online virtual worlds. By early 2014, this line of business effectively ceased operating and the Company pivoted into the legal cannabis industry.

The following is a chronological summary of the major transactions undertaken by the Company over the past two years to achieve its strategic plan to transition into a multistate cannabis licensee and seed-to-sale cannabis operator. These transactions are disclosed in further detail in Note 3– Acquisitions,Note 4– Investments,Note 8– Notes Receivable, andNote 11– Debt.

April 2018 – The Company acquired iRollie LLC, a manufacturer of branded cannabis products and accessories for consumers, and custom product and packaging for companies in the cannabis industry.

78

 

August 2018 – The Company exchanged cash and stock to acquire a 23% ownership interest in an entity that developed Sprout, a customer relationship management and marketing platform for companies in the cannabis industry.

August to October 2018 – The Company loaned $300,000 to Healer LLC, an entity that provides cannabis education, dosage programs, and products developed by Dr. Dustin Sulak, an integrative medicine physician and nationally renowned cannabis practitioner. In 2019, the Company loaned Healer an additional $500,000.

October 2018 – The Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire its two cannabis-licensed clients, KPG of Anna LLC and KPG of Harrisburg LLC, currently operating medical marijuana dispensaries in the state of Illinois. In October 2019, the Company received legislative approval for the transaction. Accordingly, the transaction was consummated and these entities became wholly-owned subsidiaries which will be consolidated into the Company’s financial statements starting in the fourth quarter of 2019.

October 2018 – The Company’s cannabis-licensed client with cultivation and dispensary operations in Massachusetts, ARL Healthcare Inc. (“ARL”), filed a plan of entity conversion with the state to convert from a non-profit entity to a for-profit corporation, with the Company as the sole shareholder of the for-profit corporation. On November 30, 2018, the conversion plan was approved by the Massachusetts Secretary of State, and effective December 1, 2018, ARL was consolidated into the Company as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

November 2018 – The Company issued a letter of intent to acquire The Harvest Foundation LLC, its cannabis-licensed client with cultivation operations in the state of Nevada. The parties entered into a purchase agreement governing the transaction in August 2019. The Company has not yet received state approval for the acquisition and therefore this acquisition is still pending. The Company anticipates approval will be obtained, and the transaction completed, by the end of this year.

December 2018 – The Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to acquire Kind Therapeutics USA Inc. (“Kind”), its client in the state of Maryland that holds licenses for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of medical cannabis. The MOU provides for a total purchase price of $6.3 million in cash, 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and other consideration. The acquisition is subject to the approval by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, which approval was not expected prior to October 2020. Recently, the sellers of Kind have attempted to renegotiate the terms of the MOU. Even though the MOU contains all the definitive material terms with respect to the acquisition transaction and confirms certain management and lease agreements, the selling parties now allege that the MOU is not an enforceable agreement. The Company engaged with the sellers in good faith in an attempt to reach updated terms acceptable to both parties, however the sellers failed to reciprocate in good faith, resulting in an impasse. Incrementally, both parties through counsel further sought to resolve the impasse, however such initiative resulted in both parties commencing legal proceedings. For further information, see Part II, Item 1.Legal Proceedings in this report.

January 2019 – The Company entered into an agreement with Maryland Health & Wellness Center Inc. (“MHWC”), an entity that has been pre-approved for a cannabis dispensing license, to provide MHWC with a $300,000 construction loan in connection with the buildout of MHWC’s proposed dispensary. Upon the two-year anniversary of final state approval of MHWC’s dispensing license, the Company shall have the right, subject to state approval, to convert the promissory note underlying the construction loan into a 20% ownership interest of MHWC.

January 2019 – The Company converted a $250,000 note receivable from Chooze Corp., an entity that develops environmentally conscious CBD- and THC-infused products, into a 2.7% ownership interest in the entity.

January 2019 – The Company established MariMed Hemp Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to develop, market, and distribute hemp-based CBD brands and products, and to provide hemp producers with bulk quantities of hemp genetics and biomass (“MariMed Hemp”). During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, MariMed Hemp launched Hemp Engine™, a store-within-a-store turnkey distribution platform of CBD-based products for retailers.

February 2019 – The Company converted its $30 million investment in subordinated secured convertible debentures of GenCanna into a 33.5% ownership interest in GenCanna.

May 2019 – The Company loaned an aggregate of $750,000 to Atalo Holdings Inc. (“Atalo”), an agriculture and biotechnology firm specializing in research, development, and production of industrial hemp and hemp-based CBD products. In July 2019, the Company extended an additional loan of $230,000 to Atalo.

May 2019 – The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for an 8.95% interest in Terrace Inc., a Canadian entity that develops and acquires international cannabis assets.

June 2019 – the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire MediTaurus LLC, a company established by Jokubas Ziburkas PhD, a neuroscientist and leading authority on hemp-based CBD and the endocannabinoid system. MediTaurus operates in the United States and Europe and has developed proprietary CBD formulations sold under its Florance™ brand.

July 2019 – The Company entered into a licensing agreement for the exclusive manufacturing and distribution in seven eastern states of the Binske® portfolio of products, a brand known for utilizing best-in-class proprietary strains and craft ingredients in its edibles, concentrates, vaporizers, and topicals.

August 2019 – The Company loaned $250,000 to High Fidelity Inc., a company that owns and operates two seed-to sale medical marijuana facilities in the state of Vermont, and produces its own line of CBD products.

October 2019 – The Company closed on the purchase of a 9,000 square foot building in Annapolis, MD which it intends to develop into a medical marijuana dispensary to be leased to Kind.

Significant Transactions in the Current Period

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into several hemp seed sale transactions with GenCanna whereby the Company acquired large quantities of top-grade feminized hemp seeds with proven genetics at volume discounts that it sold to GenCanna at market rates. The seeds met the U.S. government’s definition of federally legal industrial hemp, which was descheduled as a controlled substance and classified as an agricultural commodity upon the signing of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill.

The Company purchased $20.75 million of hemp seed inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which the Company sold and delivered to GenCanna for $33.2 million. The Company provided GenCanna with extended payment terms through December 2019, to coincide with the completion of the seeds’ harvest, although the payment by GenCanna is not contingent upon the success of such harvest or its yield.

As required by the relevant accounting guidance, the Company has classified the $33.2 million due from GenCanna as a receivable from a related party, with approximately $29.0 million recognized as revenue from a related party for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and approximately $4.2 million recorded underUnearned Revenue From Related Party on the balance sheet. Upon payment of the receivable balance by GenCanna, the amount inUnearned Revenue From Related Party will be recognized as revenue. This deferral of revenue represents the Company’s 33.5% ownership portion of the profit on these transactions.

To partially fund the seed purchases, the Company borrowed $17.0 million, which is reflected inNotes Payable on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and further discussed in Note 11– Debt.

The Company continues to explore opportunities to continue such seed sale transactions in the future, however there is no assurance that such transactions will materialize.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

In accordance with GAAP, these interim financial statements doare not required to contain all of the disclosures normally required in annual financial statements. In addition, the results of operations of interim periods aremay not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited annual financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ data to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income (losses) or cash flows.

Going Concern

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires an assessment of relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that are known or reasonably knowable by management on the issuance dates of the financial statements which indicate the probable likelihood that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.

As part of its evaluation, management assessed known events, trends, commitments, and uncertainties, which at the time included the status of the Company’s consolidation plan, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, developments concerning GenCanna’s bankruptcy proceedings, recent cannabis industry investment activity, price movements of public cannabis stock, actions and/or results of certain bellwether cannabis companies, the level of cannabis investor confidence, and changes to state laws governing recreational (adult-use) and medical cannabis.

At June 30, 2020, the Company’s negative working capital improved to approximately $21.5 million from approximately $29.3 million at December 31, 2019. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s operating activities provided positive cash flow of approximately $540,000, compared to approximately $22.1million of negative cash flow used by such activities during the same period of 2019. For further discussion of the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, please refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company refinanced the mortgage agreement secured by its Massachusetts real estate, replacing a mortgage with a remaining principal balance of approximately $4.8 million (the “Initial Mortgage”) with a $13.0 million mortgage bearing interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum that matures in August 2025. After paying off the Initial Mortgage, the Company retired approximately $7.3 million of outstanding short-term debt that bore interest at a weighted-average rate of 15% per annum.

With respect to the Company’s consolidation plan, the operations of the acquired entities in Illinois and Massachusetts have started to generate considerable liquidity and working capital for the Company. Since their acquisition in October 2019, the KPGs in Illinois have generated in excess of $2.8 million of pretax income for the Company, in part due to the legalization of adult-use cannabis in January 2020. Additionally, the KPGs have added a third dispensary in Mt. Vernon which is completing requirements to begin operations. In Massachusetts, the cultivation and production facility acquired by the Company in December 2018 has ramped up its medical grow capabilities to full capacity. Additionally, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (the “MCCC”) has given the Company final approval for adult-use cannabis production and sales. The MCCC will perform a final inspection, which the Company expects will occur in September 2020, in order for the Company to commence business in this state’s robust adult-use market.

As of the filing date of this report, the Company has hired an investment banking and advisory firm to explore additional opportunities to raise capital, although there is no assurance that a financing transaction will be consummated.

 

In light of the aforementioned disclosures, among other factors reviewed as part of management’s evaluation, there is a substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts within the financial statements and disclosures thereof. Actual results could differ from these estimates or assumptions.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with recognized financial institutions located in the United States. In the normal course of business, the Company may carry balances with certain financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on balances in excess of such limits and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks in that regard.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and are carried at their estimated collectible amounts.

The Company provides credit to its clients in the form of payment terms. The Company limits its credit risk by performing credit evaluations of its clients and maintaining a reserve, if deemed necessary, for potential credit losses. Such evaluations include the review of a client’s outstanding balances with consideration towards such client’s historical collection experience, as well as prevailing economic and market conditions and other factors. Based on such evaluations, the Company recorded a reservemaintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $250,000approximately $40.1 million and $150,000$39.7 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Please refer to Note 16 – Bad Debts for further discussion on receivable reserves.

910

 

Inventory

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with the cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company periodicallyallocates a certain percentage of overhead cost to its manufactured inventory; such allocation is based on square footage and other industry-standard criteria. The Company reviews physical inventory for obsolescence and/or excess and will record a reserve for excess and/or obsolete inventory if necessary. As of the date of this report, no reserve was deemed necessary.

Investments

The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale-investments. Investments are comprised of equity holding of private companies. These investments are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with changes to fair value if any, included in comprehensive income. Investments are evaluated for other-than-temporarypermanent impairment and are written down if such impairments are deemed to have occurred.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606,Revenue from Contract with Customers,as amended by subsequently issued Accounting Standards Updates. This revenue standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The recognition of revenue is determined by performing the following consecutive steps:

Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);
Determine the transaction price;
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Additionally, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Company’s clients, a determination is made as to who—the Company or the other party—is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sale transaction, and who is merely the agent arranging for goods or services to be provided by the other party.

The Company is typically considered the principal if it controls the specified good or service before such good or service is transferred to its client. The Company may also be deemed to be the principal even if it engages another party (an agent) to satisfy some of the performance obligations on its behalf, provided the Company (i) takes on certain responsibilities, obligations and risks, (ii) possesses certain abilities and discretion, or (iii) other relevant indicators of the sale. If deemed an agent, the Company would not recognize revenue for the performance obligations it does not satisfy.

The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated operating results, and accordingly no restatement has been made to prior period reported amounts.

The Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:

Real Estate – rental income and additional rental fees from leasing of the Company’s regulatory-compliant legal cannabis facilities to its clients, which are cannabis-licensed operating companies. Rental income is generally a fixed amount per month that escalates over the respective lease terms, while additional rental fees are based on a percentage of tenant revenues that exceed a specified amount.
Management – fees for providing the Company’s cannabis clients with corporate services and operational oversight of their cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary operations. These fees are based on a percentage of such clients’ revenue, and are recognized after services have been performed.
Supply Procurement – the Company maintains volume discounts with top national vendors of cultivation and production resources, supplies, and equipment, which the Company acquires and resells to its clients or third parties within the cannabis industry. The Company recognizes this revenue after the delivery and acceptance of goods by the purchaser.

Licensing – revenue from the sale of precision-dosed, cannabis-infused products, products—such as Kalm Fusion™, Nature’s Heritage™, and Betty’s Eddies™, to legal dispensaries throughout the United States. The recognition of this revenue occurs when the products are delivered.

Consulting – fees from third-parties parties where the Company provides assistance in securing cannabis licenses, and advisory services in the areas of facility design and development, and cultivation and dispensing best practices. These fees are recognized as the services are performed.
Product Sales – direct sales of cannabis, hemp, and products derived from these plants. This year,In 2019, the Company commenced (i) the direct sale of acquired hemp seed inventory. Asinventory in the Company continues to explore opportunities to continue such sales, significant product sales are expected to be generated from (i) the distribution of the Company’s acquiredsecond quarter, and developing hemp-derived CBD product lines, (ii) thecannabis dispensary and wholesale operations of ARL in Massachusetts and the KPGs in Illinois in the fourth quarter. Future product sales are expected to include the distribution of Company-acquired and (iii)developed hemp-derived CBD product lines, and the Company’s planned cannabis-licensee acquisitions in Maryland, Nevada, and Nevada.Delaware (upon this state’s amendment to permit for-profit ownership of cannabis entities). This revenue will beis recognized when products are delivered or at retail points-of-sale.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, with depreciation recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, if applicable. When assets are retired or disposed, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred.

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows: buildings and building improvements, seven to thirty-nine years; tenant improvements, the remaining duration of the related lease;lease; furniture and fixtures, seven years; machinery and equipment, five to ten years. Land is not depreciated.

The Company’s property and equipment are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from the undiscounted future cash flows of such asset over the anticipated holding period. An impairment loss is measured by the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value.

Impairment analyses are based on management’s current plans, asset holding periods, and currently available market information. If these criteria change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and could have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, based on the results of management’s impairment analyses, there were no 0impairment losses.

Leases

The consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s adoption of ASC 842,Leases, as amended by subsequent accounting standards updates, utilizing the modified retrospective transition approach which calls for applying the new standard to all of the Company’s leases effective January 1, 2019, which is the effective date of adoption.

ASC 842 is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions. The most prominent change from previous accounting guidance is the requirement to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet representing the rights and obligations created by operating leases that extend more than twelve months in which the Company is the lessee. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842. Accordingly, the Company accounted for its existing operating leases that commenced before the effective date as operating leases under the new guidance without reassessing (i) whether the contracts contain a lease, (ii) the classification of the leases, or (iii) the accounting for indirect costs as defined in ASC 842.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Non-lease components within lease agreements are accounted for separately. Right-of-use assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, utilizing the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15,Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when the net book value of such assets exceeds their expected cash flows, in which case the assets are written down to fair value, which is determined based on discounted future cash flows or appraised values.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement, to measure the fair value of its financial instruments, and ASC 825,Financial Instruments,for disclosures on the fair value of its financial instruments. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

Level 1Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

1112

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of option and warrant issuances are determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and employing several inputs such as the expected life of instrument, the exercise price, the expected risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the value of the Company’s common stock on issuance date, and the expected volatility of such common stock. The following table summarizes the range of inputs used by the Company during the nine monthssix month ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018:2019.

  Nine Months Ended September 30, 
  2019  2018 
Life of instrument  2.3 to 3.0 years   0.5 to 5.0 years 
Volatility factors  1.059 to 1.106   1.020 to 2.086 
Risk-free interest rates  1.42% to 2.28%   1.92% to 2.99% 
Dividend yield  0%  0%

SCHEDULE OF ASSUMPTIONS USED

  Six Months Ended June 30, 
  2020  2019 
Life of instrument  3.0 years   3.0 years 
Volatility factors  1.059 to 1.180   1.059 to 1.106 
Risk-free interest rates  0.33% to 1.33%   1.76% to 2.28% 
Dividend yield  0%  0%

The expected life of an instrument is calculated using the simplified method pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14,Share-Based Payment, which allows for using the mid-point between the vesting date and expiration date. The volatility factors are based on the historical two-year movement of the Company’s common stock prior to an instrument’s issuance date. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates with maturity periods similar to the expected instruments life on the issuance date.

The Company amortizes the fair value of option and warrant issuances on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each instrument.

Extinguishment of Liabilities

The Company accounts for extinguishment of liabilities in accordance with ASC 405-20,Extinguishments of Liabilities.When the conditions for extinguishment are met, the liabilities are written down to zero and a gain or loss is recognized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method as set forth in ASC 718,Compensation—Stock Compensation,which requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the fair value of the award on the grant date, with limited exceptions. Such value will be incurred as compensation expense over the period an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity awards for which employees do not render the requisite service.

1213

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740,Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no 0adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

Related Party Transactions

The Company follows ASC 850,Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

In accordance with ASC 850, the Company’s financial statements include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, as well as transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by ASC 220,Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260,Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted average number of potentially dilutive securities during the period.

As of SeptemberAt June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, there were 16,815,107 19,515,857 and 15,497,823,18,655,107, respectively, of potentially dilutive securities in the form of outstanding options and warrants. AsAlso as of September 30, 2019,such dates, there were $350,000(i) $6.3 million and $13.75 million, respectively, of convertible promissory notes and $11.1 million ofoutstanding convertible debentures payable, (ii) 4,908,333 and zero shares, respectively, of Series B convertible preferred stock outstanding, that wereand (iii) approximately $5.2 million and $350,000, respectively, of outstanding convertible promissory notes. All of these potentially dilutive whose conversionsecurities are convertible into common stock is based on either (i) a discountpredetermined price, subject to adjustment, or (ii) the market value of common stock on or about the future conversion date. No such debt instruments existed as of September 30, 2018.

For the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018,2020, all potentially dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share, and in accordance with ASC 260, were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculations, resulting in identical basic and fully diluted net income per share for these periods. TheSuch potentially dilutive securities may dilute earnings per share in the future. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the potentially dilutive securities then outstanding were convertible into 19,509,815 shares of common stock, utilizing the June 30, 2019 closing stock price of the Company’s common stock. Such share amount was included in the number of weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis, and in the calculation of diluted net income per share for these periods, as shown in the statement of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows ASC 450,Contingencies, which requires the Company to assess the likelihood that a loss will be incurred from the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events. Such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing possible loss contingencies from legal proceedings or unasserted claims, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of such proceedings or claims, and of the relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

While not assured, management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that a loss contingency will have material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Beneficial Conversion Features on Convertible Debt

Convertible instruments that are not bifurcated as a derivative pursuant to ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging, and not accounted for as a separate equity component under the cash conversion guidance are evaluated to determine whether their conversion prices create an embedded beneficial conversion feature at inception, or may become beneficial in the future due to potential adjustments.

A beneficial conversion feature is a nondetachable conversion feature that is “in-the-money” at the commitment date. The in-the-money portion, also known as the intrinsic value of the option, is recorded in equity, with an offsetting discount to the carrying amount of convertible debt to which it is attached.

Upon a change in control transaction, as defined, in the $10M Debentures, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the $10M$21M Debentures at a price equal to 110%110% of the outstanding principal amount of the $10M$21M Debentures, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. So long as the $10M$21M Debentures are outstanding, in the event the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction (“VRT”), as defined in the SPA, the Holder may cause the Company to revise the terms of the $10M$21M Debentures to match the terms of the convertible security issued in such VRT.

Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Award and Incentive Plan

In August 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), based on the board’s belief that awards authorized under the Incentive Plan provide incentives for the achievement of important performance objectives and promote the long-term success of the Company. In September 2019, the Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual stock-holders meeting.

The 2018Incentive Plan is an omnibus plan, authorizing a variety of equity award types as well as cash and long-term incentive awards. The Incentive Plan amends and restates the Company’s 2018 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Original“Previous Plan”), which was approved by the board of directors in July 2018 but never presented to stockholders for approval. Any grants made under the OriginalPrevious Plan prior to the approval date of the Incentive Plan shall continue to be governed by the terms of the OriginalPrevious Plan.

The Incentive Plan authorizes a broad range of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, dividend equivalents, performance shares, cash-based performance awards, and other stock-based awards. Such awards can be granted to employees, non-employee directors and other persons who provide substantial services to the Company and its affiliates. Nothing in the Incentive Plan precludes the payment of other compensation to officers and employees, including bonuses based upon performance, outside of the Incentive Plan.

An aggregate of 40,000,000 shares are reserved for delivery to participants and may be used for any type of award under the Incentive Plan. Shares actually delivered in connection with an award will be counted against such number of reserved shares. Shares will remain available for new awards if an award under the Incentive Plan expires, is forfeited, canceled, or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares or is settled in cash. Each award under the Incentive Plan is subject to the Company’s claw back policy in effect at the time of grant of the award.

The board of directors may amend, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Incentive Plan or the authority to grant awards thereunder without stockholder approval, except as required by law or regulation or under rules of the stock exchange, if any, on which the Company’s stock may then be listed. Unless earlier terminated, grants under the Incentive Plan will terminate ten years after stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan, and the Incentive Plan will terminate when no shares remain available and the Company has no further obligation with respect to any outstanding award.

Terminated Employment Agreement

An employment agreement which commenced in 2012 with Thomas Kidrin, the former CEO of the Company, that provided Mr. Kidrin with salary, car allowances, stock options, life insurance, and other employee benefits, was terminated by the Company in 2017.2017. At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company maintained an accrual of approximately $1,043,000 $1,043,000for any amounts that may be owed under this agreement, although the Company contends that such agreement is not valid and no amount is due.

In July 2019, Mr. Kidrin, also a former director of the Company, filed a complaint in the Massachusetts Superior Court, that alleges the Company failed to pay all wages owed to him and breached the employment agreement, and requests multiple damages, attorney fees, costs, and interest. The Company has moved to dismiss certain counts of the complaint and has asserted counterclaims against Mr. Kidrin alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, money had and received, and unjust enrichment. The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter and prosecute its counterclaims.

Maryland Acquisition

As previously disclosed in Note 3– Acquisitions, the sellers of Kind have attempted to renegotiate the terms of the MOU, alleging that the MOU is not an enforceable agreement, despite the MOU containing all the definitive material terms with respect to the acquisition transaction and confirming the management and lease agreements. The Company engaged with the sellers in a good faith attempt to reach updated terms acceptable to both parties, but the non-reciprocation of the sellers resulted in an impasse. Additionally, both parties through counsel further sought to resolve the impasse however such initiative resulted inand both parties commencing legal proceedings. For further information, see Note 19– Subsequent Events.

On November 13, 2019, Kind Therapeutics USA Inc. (“Kind”) commenced an action in the Circuit Court for Washington County, MD captioned Kind Therapeutics USA, Inc. vs. MariMed, Inc., et al. (Case No. C-21-CV-19-000670) asserting claims against the Company, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, accounting, and unjust enrichment, and seeking declaratory judgment and damages in excess of $75,000. On November 15, 2019, the Company filed counterclaims against Kind and a third-party complaint against the Members of Kind (Jennifer DiPietro, Susan Zimmerman, and Sophia Leonard-Burns) and William Tham (the “Counterclaim”). The Counterclaim alleges breach of contract with respect to each of the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) and the Management Agreement (“MSA”), unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance, and fraud in the inducement, and seeking a declaratory judgement that the MOU is an enforceable contract, specific performance of such contact, and the establishment of a constructive trust for the Company’s benefit. The Counterclaim also seeks damages.

Both parties, MariMed (including MariMed Holdings MD, LLC and MariMed Advisors Inc.) and Kind, brought motions for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. By Opinion and Order entered on November 21, 2019, the Court denied both parties motions for a temporary restraining order. In its opinion, the Court specifically noted that, contrary to Kind’s allegations, the MSA and the 20-year lease agreement for Kind’s utilization of the Company’s cultivation and production facility (“Lease”) “appear to be independent, valid and enforceable contracts.” Each party’s preliminary injunction motion is currently pending before the Court.

On or about April 3, 2020, the Company filed its First Amended Counterclaim and Third Party Complaint in which additional claims were added and clarified, including breach of Lease and breach of the Licensing and Manufacturing Agreement (“LMA”) against Kind, along with other alternative claims and seeking damages. The Company believes that its claims for breach of contract with respect to the MOU, the MSA, the Lease, and the LMA, as well as its claims for unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance, and fraud in the inducement are meritorious. Further, the Company believes that Kind’s claims against the Company are without merit. The Company intends to aggressively prosecute and defend the action. The trial is currently scheduled to start on June 7, 2021.

These facilities, located in multiple states, are leased to our clients who are entities that have been awarded legal and medical marijuana licenses by multiple states.

Since entering the cannabis industry, we have demonstrated an excellent track record in managing state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production and dispensing of legalmedicinal and recreational cannabis and cannabis-infusedcannabis infused products. We provide industry-leading expertise and consultative services in all aspects of cannabis licensing procurement, including ongoing management oversight or real estate services to five independent operations in five states – Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada and Massachusetts.

These facilities are designed to be models of excellence in horticultural principals, cannabis production, product development and dispensary operations. Along with operational oversight, we provide our clients with legal, accounting, human resources, and other corporate and administrative services.

We have secured, on behalf of our clients, 12 cannabis licenses across six states — two in Delaware, two in Illinois, one in Nevada, one in Rhode Island, three in Maryland and three in Massachusetts. We have client operating facilities that are opened or under development in the cities of Wilmington, Lewes, and Milford in Delaware; the cities of Anna and Harrisburg in Illinois; Clark county in Nevada; Arundel county and the city of Hagerstown in Maryland; and the cities of New Bedford and Middleborough in Massachusetts. In total, we haveCompany has developed in excess of 300,000 square feet of seed-to-salestate-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities.

At the outset of the Company’s entrance into the cannabis facilities.industry, the Company provided advisory services and assistance to its clients in the procurement of state-issued cannabis licenses, leased its cannabis facilities to these newly-licensed clients, and provided industry-leading expertise and oversight in all aspects of their cannabis operations, as well as ongoing regulatory, accounting, human resources, and administrative services. Since this time, the Company successfully secured 19 cannabis licenses across six states—two in Delaware, five in Illinois, three in Maryland, and six in Massachusetts, two in Nevada, and one in Rhode Island.

The Company has demonstrated an excellent track record developing and operating licensed cannabis facilities, and implementing its proprietary operating procedures and industry best practices. In 2018, we beganthe Company commenced a strategic plan to transition from being a management andan advisory firmbusiness that provides cannabis licensing, operational consulting and real estate services, to being primarily a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations, dedicated to the improvement of health and wellness through the use of cannabinoids and cannabis products. We have implemented a

The Company’s strategic plan to consolidateconsists of the ownershipacquisition of our client operatingits cannabis-licensed clients located in five states—Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Nevada – and the consolidation of these entities under the MariMed banner. The Company has played a key role in the successes of these entities, from the securing of their cannabis licenses, to the development of facilities that are models of excellence, to providing operational and corporate guidance. Accordingly, the Company believes it is well suited to own these facilities and manage the continuing growth of their operations.

A goal in completing this transition is to present a simpler, more transparent financial picture to the investment community. Once the consolidation is complete, the Company’s financial statements will provide a clearer representation of the revenues, earnings, and other financial metrics that the Company is generating, and a reflection of the full breadth of the Company’s overall business.

Recognizing the emergence

The Company has also created its own brands of the global hemp market following the enactment of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, in late 2018 we purchased $30 million of subordinated secured convertible debentures (the “GC Debentures”) from GenCanna Global USA, Inc., a leading producercannabis flower, concentrates, and distributor of industrial hemp, CBD formulations,precision-dosed products utilizing proprietary strains and hemp genetics (“GenCanna”). In February 2019, we converted the GC Debentures, plus accrued interest, into a 33.5% ownership interest in GenCanna on a fully diluted basis. Additionally,formulations. These products are developed by the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, MariMed Hemp Inc., in January 2019cooperation with state-licensed facilities and operators who meet the Company’s strict standards, including all natural—not artificial or synthetic—ingredients. The Company licenses its product formulations only to market and distribute hemp-derived CBD products across several vertical markets.knowledgeable manufacturing professionals who agree to adhere to the Company’s precise scientific formulations using its trademarked product recipes.

Over our short history, we have developed an excellent reputation for strong management in the cannabis industry. As a management company, our clients have thrived and succeeded in their respective markets. Our goal is to continue this success as we transition from a manager and advisor to an owner of cannabis licenses and an operator of cannabis businesses. Our strengths can be summarized as follows:

34

Professional Management

We have had considerable success writing award-winning applications for clients applying for licenses in new and established legal cannabis states; creating and developing defined business, operating and security plans; sourcing real estate for cannabis facilities in receptive municipalities; and raising capital to purchase and develop facilities. These skills are important as we expand our footprint into new states on a direct ownership basis.

Development of State-of-the-Art Cannabis Facilities and Operations

We have constructed numerous cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in several states utilizing and developing industry “best practices” in all of our facilities, and our clients’ seed-to-sale operations in multiple states are examples of operational excellence under our proven management processes and practices.

Cannabis Brand Creation

We have developed unique brands of precision-dosed cannabis-infused products which are currently licensed and distributed in cannabis-legal states. Going forward, we intend to continue expanding both our brand portfolio and the licensing of our branded products into additional cannabis-legal states.

Investment in Hemp Production, Branding, and Distribution

Our direct ownership in GenCanna, which we believe will become oneIn anticipation of the largest hemp producers ingrowing demand for hemp-derived cannabidiol (“CBD”), the United States by the year 2020, will help ensure we have access toCompany established a safe and reliable source of hemp-based CBD. The market for hemp-based CBD products is expected to grow significantly over the next several years.

With the creation of the wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, MariMed Hemp in early 2019, we have started to make inroads into the branding and distribution of hemp-derived CBD products. With our acquisition in February 2019 of MediTaurus and its Florance™ brand, we are starting to leverage the GenCanna relationship and grow the revenue base for hemp-derived CBD products.

Technological and Scientific Innovation

We are diligent in identifying and reviewing the latest sciences and processes applicable to the cultivation, distillation, production, packaging, securing, and distribution of cannabis and cannabis-infused products. We have obtained the highest quality cannabis strains and genetics. We are at the leading edge of patient education and physician outreach for cannabis, and we seek strategic relationships with companies that are at the forefront of extraction and distillation.

Consolidation Plans

Ourstrategic plan involves the acquisition of the business operations and licenses of entities to which we provide advisory and real estate services. The following is an overview of the consolidation process:

Massachusetts

Wesuccessfully converted ARL Healthcare Inc. (“ARL”MariMed Hemp”), our cannabis-licensed client, from a non-profit entity to a for-profit corporation of which we are the sole shareholder. We now own ARL and its cannabis licenses for cannabis cultivation, production and dispensing, and as a licensee, we will have priority to obtain incremental licenses as they are made available by the state.

Werecently completed construction of a 70,000 square foot state-of-the-art cultivation and production facility for ARL in New Bedford within our 138,000 square foot facility purchased in 2017. We also own a 22,700 square foot building in Middleborough in which we developed a 10,000 square foot dispensary. Both locations have been approved by the state to commence full operations in December 2019. Furthermore, subject to regulatory approval, we intend to open two more dispensaries in the Boston area by the end of 2020.

35

Maryland

In December 2018, we entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to acquire Kind Therapeutics USA Inc. (“Kind”), our cannabis-licensed client that holds licenses for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of medical cannabis. The MOU provides for a total purchase price of $6.3 million in cash, 2,500,000 shares of our common stock, and other consideration. The acquisition is subject to the approval by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, which approval was not expected prior to October 2020.

Also in December 2018, MariMed Advisors Inc, our wholly owned subsidiary, and Kind entered into a management agreement pursuant to which we provide Kind with comprehensive management services in connection with the business and operations of Kind, and Mari Holdings MD LLC, our majority-owned subsidiary, entered into a 20-year lease with Kind for its utilization of the Company’s 180,000 square foot cultivation and production facility in Hagerstown, MD. Additionally, in October 2019, we purchased a 9,000 square foot building in Anne Arundel County for the development of a dispensary which would be leased to Kind.

Recently, the sellers of Kind have attempted to renegotiate the terms of the MOU. Even though the MOU contains all the definitive material terms with respect to the acquisition transaction and confirms the management and lease agreements, the selling parties now allege that the MOU is not an enforceable agreement. We engaged with the sellers in good faith in an attempt to reach updated terms acceptable to both parties, however the sellers failed to reciprocate in good faith, resulting in an impasse. Incrementally, both parties through counsel further sought to resolve the impasse, however such initiative resulted in both parties commencing legal proceedings. For further information, see Part II, Item 1.Legal Proceedings in this report.

Illinois

In October 2019, the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation approved our acquisition of the ownership interests of KPG of Anna LLC and KPG of Harrisburg LLC, the Company’s two cannabis-licensed clients that operate Company-built and owned medical marijuana dispensaries in the state of Illinois (both entities collectively, the “KPGs”). As part of this transaction, we also acquired the selling parties’ interests in Mari Holdings IL LLC, our subsidiary which owns the real estate in which the KPGs’ dispensaries are located. Effective October 1, 2019, 100% of the operations of these entities will be consolidated into our financial statements. Additionally, the state is in the process of legalizing adult-use cannabis which we believe will permit us to expand into two additional locations when such legalization occurs.

Nevada

In November 2018, we issued a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the ownership interests of The Harvest Foundation LLC, our cannabis-licensed client in the state of Nevada (“Harvest”). In August 2019, the parties entered into a purchase agreement governing the transaction. The acquisition is conditioned upon the approval of the state cannabis commission which is pending. Harvest holds both medical and adult-use cannabis licenses, and operates in approximately 10,000 square feet of an industrial building that we lease and have built out into a cannabis cultivation facility. We are currently awaiting state approval of the transaction which we expect to receive by the end of the year.

Delaware

Delaware currently is a not-for-profit state with regard to the ownership of cannabis licenses. We provide comprehensive management and real estate services to First State Compassion Center (“FSCC”), our cannabis-licensed client which was awarded Delaware’s first ever seed-to-sale medical cannabis license and owns two out of the four statewide licenses.

FSCC operates out of our 47,000 square foot seed-to-sale facility in Wilmington, and a 4,000 square foot retail location in Lewes that we lease. We has recently signed a lease with an option to purchase a 100,000 square foot building in Milford, with plans to build another cultivation and production facility to serve the state’s growing patient count.

The state is expected to allow “for-profit” ownership of cannabis licenses in the near future, at which time we will seek to acquire FSCC and obtain ownership of the licenses and operations.

Rhode Island

Rhode Island currently is a not-for-profit state with regard to the ownership of cannabis licenses. We are in continuing negotiations to purchase the real estate which is leased to our cannabis-licensed client, the Thomas C. Slater Compassion Center (“Slater”), and to acquire, subject to state approval, the management company that oversees Slater’s operations. The entity that owns the real estate and the management company are both partially owned by the Company’s CEO and CFO. If these transactions are completed, we will generate real estate and management fees until the state allows “for-profit” ownership, which is expected to occur in 2020. At that time, we will seek to acquire Slater’s cannabis licenses and operations.

New Operations – Completed Transactions & Current Activities

GenCanna Global Inc.

In late 2018, we purchased the GC Debentures from GenCanna. In February 2019, we converted the GC Debentures plus accrued interest through the conversion date into common shares of GenCanna representing a 33.5% ownership interest in GenCanna on a fully diluted basis, and our CEO, Robert Fireman, was appointed to GenCanna’s board of directors.

In December 2018, the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill (the “Farm Bill”) became law in the United States. Under the Farm Bill, industrial and commercial hemp is no longer classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, and explicitly allows interstate hemp commerce which will enable its legal transport and delivery across state lines.

GenCanna, based in Winchester, Kentucky, focuses on growing hemp with superior genetics and creating hemp-based products in accordance with the highest quality standards such as GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) to ensure that wholesalers and consumers receive a consistent high-quality product to meet their wellness needs. GenCanna has also become a thought leader in the hemp industry, working closely with federal and local governmental regulatory authorities.

In 2019 GenCanna has expanded acreage of hemp farming and production of compliant CBD oils, isolates, and infused products, making it one of the largest producers of these products in the country.

MariMed Hemp

To leverage its investment in GenCanna, we established MariMed Hemp Inc. in January 2019, a wholly-owned subsidiary to develop, market and distribute hemp-based CBD brands and products to different classes of retailers and direct to consumers. In addition, MariMed Hemp will be developing and acquiring top quality genetics and biomass to resell to growers and processors.

The rapid growth of legal cannabis and hemp-derived CBD markets presents a global paradigm shift and challengesproducts across several vertical markets. Prior to medical professionals and consumers who seek scientific knowledge and research regarding medical cannabis and hemp. Accordingly, in addition to the aforementioned objectives, one of MariMed Hemp’s priorities will be to provide credible research-based information about the health benefits of cannabis and hemp to medical providers and their patients, many of whom express a strong and growing appetite for knowledge on this, topic. Armed with this knowledge, such healthcare professionals and consumers will be able to effectively and safely choose from a broad, and potentially confusing, range of cannabis products.

As part of our education initiative, we are assembling a Scientific Advisory Board (the “SAB”), that includes some of the world’s leading scientists and researchers focused on the scientific application of cannabis and hemp for health and wellness. The SAB’s goals will include the development of strategies to address the most widespread and debilitating medical and dietary conditions through the utilization of cannabis- and hemp-based therapies.

MediTaurus

To facilitate our drive for greater science and education, we acquired MediTaurus LLC in June 2019. MediTaurus was established by Dr. Jokubas Ziburkas a leading authority on hemp-based CBD and the endocannabinoid system. Dr. Ziburkas holds a PhD in Neuroscience, and currently serves as Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Houston, where his research is focused on cannabinoid actions in the brain and novel treatments for neurological disorders. He has published over 20 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and is regarded as a thought leader inmeans of expanding into the global cannabis industry.

MediTaurushas developed proprietary formulations for hemp-derived CBD and currently operates in Lithuania and Texas. Its Florance™ brand, recently launched in Germany, is marketed globally through the MediTaurus website. Additionally, Dr. Ziburkas has been named the Chief Innovation Officer of MariMed, and will assist MariMed Hemp in the marketing and distribution of Florance™ and newly-developed products throughout the United States and Europe.

Pipeline Transactions

MariMed is actively pursuing other growth opportunities to expand its asset portfolio in the hemp and cannabis industries. At this time, there is no assurance that any of these opportunities will materialize.

Significant Transactions in the Current Period

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into several hemp seed sale transactions with GenCanna whereby the Company acquired large quantities of top-grade feminized hemp seeds with proven genetics at volume discounts that it sold to GenCanna at market rates. The seeds met the U.S. government’s definition of federally legal industrial hemp, which was descheduled as a controlled substance and classified as an agricultural commodity upon the signing of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill.

The Company purchased $20.75 million of hemp seed inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which the Company sold and delivered to GenCanna for $33.2 million.The Company provided GenCanna with extended payment terms through December 2019, to coincide with the completion of the seeds’ harvest, although the payment by GenCanna is not contingent uponexpected to suffer severe declines in revenue, the success of such harvest or its yield.

As required by the relevant accounting guidance, the Company has classified the $33.2 million due from GenCannaCompany’s business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity have been adversely affected, as a receivable from a related party, with approximately $29,0 million recognized as revenue from a related party for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and approximately $4.2 million recorded underUnearned Revenue From Related Party on the balance sheet. Upon payment of the receivable balance by GenCanna, the amount inUnearned Revenue From Related Partywill be recognized as revenue.

To partially fund the seed purchases, the Company borrowed $17.0 million, which is included inNotes Payableon the balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and further discussed in Note 11the notes accompanying the financial statements and within this – DebtManagement’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The full extent to which COVID-19 and the measures to contain it will materialize.impact the Company’s business, operations financial condition, and liquidity will depend on the continued severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and other future developments in response to the virus, all of which are highly uncertain at this time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

DuringAt June 30, 2020, the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we raised $2.6Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.3 million fromand negative working capital of approximately $21.5 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $739,000 and negative working capital of approximately $29.3 million at December 31, 2019.

The large negative working capital balances were primarily the issuanceresult of common stock, $17.0 million from the issuance of promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $17.0 million in 2019 (the “Notes”) to fund the purchase of large quantities of top-grade hemp seeds at volume discounts which were then sold to GenCanna, a related party, at market rates (the “Seed Transactions”), coupled with the recording of a bad debt reserve, also in 2019, against the receivable balance from GenCanna arising from the Seed Transactions of approximately $29.0 million following GenCanna’s Chapter 11 proceedings. The Notes were amended in 2020 to extend their due dates, among other amended terms, with an aggregate principal amount of $13.0 million still outstanding as of June 30, 2020; and $9.6the approximate $29.0 million GenCanna receivable remained fully reserved as well. Please refer to the footnote disclosures accompanying the Company’s financial statements included in this report for further discussion of the Seed Transactions.

The negative working capital balances were also due to the recording in 2019 of a bad debt reserve against the receivable and working capital balances due from (i) Kind of approximately $11.2 million in the aggregate, in light of the current litigation between the Company and Kind described below, and (ii) Harvest of approximately $2.2 million in the aggregate, due to the anticipated effect on Harvest’s operations from a weakened local economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2020, the Kind reserves were increased to approximately $12.6 million, the Harvest reserves remained at approximately $2.2 million, and the Company recorded an additional reserve of $450,000 against certain aged receivable balances. Please refer to the footnote disclosures accompanying the Company’s financial statements included in this report for further discussion of bad debt reserves.

The approximate $1.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and approximate $7.8 million improvement in working capital from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 were primarily attributable to approximately $4.4 million of proceeds from the exchange agreement consummated in February 2020, and $700,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures. Please refera promissory note in April 2020, both such debt arrangements discussed in Note 9 – Debt of the Company’s financial statements, offset primarily by purchases of property and equipment. The improvement of negative working capital was also due to the aforementioned amendment of promissory notes, accompanying our condensed consolidatedwhich resulted in a portion of such notes being classified as long term and therefore excluded from the calculation of working capital.

Prior to the filing of this report, the Company refinanced the mortgage agreement secured by its Massachusetts real estate, replacing a mortgage with a remaining principal balance of approximately $4.8 million (the “Initial Mortgage”) with a $13.0 million mortgage bearing interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum that matures in August 2025. After paying off the Initial Mortgage, the Company retired approximately $7.3 million of outstanding short-term debt that bore interest at a weighted-average rate of 15% per annum.

As of the filing date of this report, the Company the Company has hired an investment banking and advisory firm to explore additional opportunities to raise capital, although there is no assurance that a financing transaction will be consummated.

With respect to the Company’s consolidation plan, the operations of the acquired entities in Illinois and Massachusetts have started to generate considerable liquidity and working capital for the Company. Since their acquisition in October 2019, the KPGs in Illinois have generated in excess of $2.8 million of pretax income for the Company, which continues to exceed forecasts, in part due to the legalization of adult-use cannabis in January 2020. Additionally, the KPGs have added a third dispensary in Mt. Vernon which is finalizing requirements to begin operations. In Massachusetts, the cultivation and production facility acquired by the Company in December 2018 has ramped up its grow capabilities to full capacity. Additionally, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (the “MCCC”) has given the Company final approval for adult-use cannabis production and sales. The MCCC will perform one last inspection, which the Company expects will occur prior to the end of September 2020, in order for the Company to commence business in this state’s robust adult-use market.

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements at Septemberfor the six months ended June 30, 2019 for further discussion2020, the Company’s management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires an assessment of relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that are known or reasonably knowable by management on these transactions.the issuance dates of the financial statements which indicate the probable likelihood that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.

 

These fundsAs part of its evaluation, management assessed known events, trends, commitments, and uncertainties, which at the time included the status of the Company’s consolidation plan, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, developments concerning GenCanna’s bankruptcy proceedings, recent cannabis industry investment activity, price movements of public cannabis stock, actions and/or results of certain bellwether cannabis companies, the level of cannabis investor confidence, and changes to state laws governing recreational (adult-use) and medical cannabis.

In light of the aforementioned disclosures, among other factors reviewed as part of management’s evaluation, there is a substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 approximated $540,000, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $22.1 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year improvement was primarily attributable to the higher inventory and related party receivable balances from the Seed Transactions, the intentional slowing of payments of trade accounts payable and other liabilities in 2020, and an increase in operating income in 2020 generated by the acquisition of the KPGs in Illinois and ARL in Massachusetts, offset by higher payments in 2020 to third parties and for operating leases.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 approximated $2.6 million, compared to approximately $5.4 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year improvement was due to investments in notes receivable from Atalo, Healer and MHWC in 2019. No such investments were made in 2020. The year-over-year improvement is also due to reduced property and equipment purchases in 2020.

Nine months ended September 30, 20192020 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2018

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased to approximately $40.4 million compared with $8.4 million from the same period in 2018, a nearly five-fold increaseoperating income of approximately $32.0 million. This considerable growth was principally due to the Seed Transactions discussed in further detail in Note 1– Organization of Description of Businessof the Company’s financial statements included in Part I of this filing. Revenue generated from the Seed Transactions commenced in the second quarter of 2019 and approximated $29.0 million through September 30, 2019. The increase in revenues was also attributable to (i) a 106% increase in licensing revenue associated with the Company’s branded products, (ii) a 105% increase in management fees earned from the Company’s cannabis-licensed clients, and (iii) an 85% increase in supply procurement revenue, primarily from Kind in Maryland.

Cost of revenues increased from approximately $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to approximately $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to the cost of hemp seeds incurred by the Company of approximately $20.8 million as part of the Seed Transactions. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues associated with the Seed Transactions was 71%, higher than the contracted cost of 62.5%, due to the deferral of profits required by the accounting guidance and effected via an approximate $4.2 million reduction of the recognized revenue, such reduction based on the Company’s ownership percentage of GenCanna. Apart from the Seed transactions, cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue decreased from 40% in 2018 to 33% in 2019, as the Company continued to leverage its infrastructure to generate higher margins in its recurring business.

As a result of the foregoing, gross profit increased from approximately $5.1 million in 2018 to approximately $15.9 million in 2019. Although gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined from 61% to 39%, this was expected based on the 37.5% contracted margin and the required accounting treatment of the Seed Transactions discussed above. Looking at the core business on its own, gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 61% to 67%.

Personnel expense increased to approximately $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $822,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily the result of the hiring of additional staff to support (i) higher levels of revenue and (ii) our expansion into direct cannabis and hemp operations.

Marketing and promotion costs increased from approximately $167,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to approximately $287,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Despite the increase, these costs decreased as a percentage of revenues from 2% in 2018 to 1% in 2019.

General and administrative costs increased to approximately $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from approximately $4.5$5.3 million for the same period a year ago. The year over year increase is primarily due to a (i) higher level of legal costs and travel expenses inExcluding the current period associated with the consolidation of our cannabis-licensee clients, settlement of the AgriMed matter, Terrace investment, acquisition of MediTaurus, and other merger activity which has yet to close, (ii) additional leasing costs and utilities of a property in Milford, DE which the Company is developing into an additional cultivation and production facility for its client in that state, (iii) increases in corporate insurance, and (ii) non-cash increases in depreciation and amortization.

As a result of the above,Seed Transactions, the Company generated operating income of approximately $6.1$2.1 million for the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, compared with2020 and incurred an operating loss of approximately $417,000$929,000 for the same period in 2018.2019, a positive swing of approximately $3.0 million.

This increase wasThe year-over-year change is primarily due to (i) approximately $6.5the approximate $2.9 million of non-cash amortizationreceived by the Company in 2019 from the settlement of the beneficial conversion feature on the $20M Debentures, and AgriMed matter discussed in Note 3 – Acquisitions of warrants issued together with the issuance of debt (such amortization reflected withinInterest Expense), (ii) interest expense of approximately $1.5 million primarily from the issuance of promissory notes to fund the Seed Transactions, and (iii) the Company’s non-cash equityfinancial statements, and (ii) declines in value of the loss of GenCanna of approximately $928,000, offset by (a) a reduction of approximately $4.2 million of losses incurredCompany’s investments in the prior period from the extinguishment of debt,Chooze and (b) the net settlement proceeds of $2.9 million from the AgriMed matter. Additionally, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $1.9 million and $12,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.MRSVP in 2020.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $2.5$1.1 million duringfor the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 compared with2020. For the same period a year ago, after a tax provision of approximately $975,000, the Company generated net income of approximately $4.7 million, and excluding the Seed Transactions, incurred a net loss of approximately $5.6$581,000.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to six months ended June 30, 2019

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $17.1 million duringcompared to $29.2 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year variance was primarily attributable to revenues from GenCanna, a related party, of approximately $22.0 million generated from the Seed Transactions. Excluding these one-time Seed Transactions, core revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 grew to approximately $17.1 million, an increase of 138.0%, from approximately $7.2 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year increase of approximately $9.9 million was due to cannabis sales in 2020 of approximately $9.3 million from the KPGs in Illinois, acquired by the Company in October 2019, and approximately $2.3 million from ARL in Massachusetts, acquired by the Company in late 2018 and whose selling operations commenced in December 2019. These increases in cannabis sales were offset by decreases in procurement revenue and management fees charged to Kind, the Company’s cannabis-licensed client in Maryland, and against whom the Company is currently in litigation.

Cost of revenues were approximately $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $18.0 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year variance was primarily attributable to the cost of seeds sold to GenCanna of approximately $15.7 million incurred from the Seed Transactions. Excluding these one-time Seed Transactions, cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased to approximately $6.1 million from approximately $2.3 million for the same period in 2019. As a percentage of total revenues, these costs increased to 35.4% in 2020 from 31.6% in 2019, which is the result of Company’s transition from a cannabis advisory company to a multi-state operator of cannabis businesses, whereby the Company will generate less revenues from a rental income and management fees, which have minimal associated costs, to a vastly higher level of revenue from product sales, which have a relatively higher level of associated costs.

As a result of the foregoing, gross profit approximated $11.0 million, or 64.6% of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $11.2 million, or 38.3% of total revenues, for the same period a year ago. Excluding the Seed Transactions, gross profit increased to approximately $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $4.9 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of approximately $6.1 million or 124.6%.

Personnel expenses increased to approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $1.5 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to the hiring of additional staff to support (i) higher levels of revenue, and (ii) the Company’s expansion into a direct owner and operator of seed-to-sale cannabis businesses. As a percentage of revenues excluding the Seed Transactions, personnel expenses dropped to 15.9% in 2020 compared to 20.9% in 2019.

Marketing and promotion costs decreased slightly to approximately $178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $195,000 for the same period a year ago. As a percentage of revenues excluding the Seed Transactions, these costs fell to 1.0% in 2020 from 2.7% in 2019 resulting from the Company’s reduced presence at industry conferences and tradeshows.

General and administrative costs increased to approximately $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $4.4 million for the same period a year ago. This slight increase is primarily due to higher facility costs on additional properties owned and in service in 2020. As a percentage of revenue excluding the Seed Sales, general and administrative costs decreased to 26.8% in 2020 from 60.7% in 2019, reflecting a more efficient use of the Company’s fixed overhead costs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an additional bad debt reserve of $450,000 to cover potential losses that would be incurred by the Company and its clients from the impact of COVID-19 and the measures enacted by local governments to reduce its spread.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company generated operating income of approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to operating income of approximately $5.1 million for the same period in 2019. Excluding the Seed Transactions, the Company generated operating income of approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to an operating loss of approximately $1.1 million for the same period in 2019, resulting in a positive period-over-periodswing of approximately $4.2 million.

Net non-operating expenses were approximately $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net non-operating income of approximately $649,000 for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year change is primarily due to (i) the approximate $2.9 million received by the Company in excess2019 from the settlement of $3.0 million.the AgriMed matter discussed in Note 3 – Acquisitions of the Company’s financial statements, (ii) declines in value of the Company’s investments in Terrace, Chooze and MRSVP in 2020, and (iii) an increase in interest expense due to higher levels of debt in 2020.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the same period a year ago, after a tax provision of approximately $985,000, the Company generated net income of approximately $4.8 million, and excluding the Seed Transactions, incurred a net loss of approximately $493,000.

2020 Plans

During the remainder of 2020, the Company intends (subject to state and regulatory approvals) to complete the implementation of its aforementioned strategic plan as previously discussed. Progress made on the plan to date has established the Company as a fully integrated seed-to-sale multi-state cannabis operator

In addition, the Company’s focus has been and will continue to be on the following key areas:

 411)Increase production and wholesale revenue at its cultivation and production facility in New Bedford, MA. Co-locate adult-use at the currently medical dispensary in Middleboro, MA; Open two additional co-located dispensaries in Massachusetts.
 
2)Continue to expand the Company’s Nature’s Heritage™ branded flower and popular infused-product brands such as Betty’s Eddies™, Kalm Fusion™, and Bourne Baked Goods™ into the robust Massachusetts medical and adult-use marketplace. Expand our exclusively licensed Tropizan® and Binske® brands.
3)Increase sales and profits of the dispensaries in Anna and Harrisburg in Illinois—which legalized recreational adult-use of cannabis at the start of 2020, in addition to its continuing medical use cannabis program—and open the third dispensary in September and the fourth by the beginning of 2021.
4)Increase sales and profits in Maryland and Delaware by adding over 100,000 square feet of new cannabis cultivation and processing facilities. Add more of the Company’s brands and expand marketing into these states.
5)Drive licensing fees through the sale of branded products at the Company’s owned and managed facilities and with strategic partners into additional markets.
6)Continue to build brands and distribution of CBD-infused products through the Company’s MariMed Hemp subsidiary.

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented will necessarily yield positive results.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In July 2019, Thomas Kidrin, the former chief executive officer and a former director of the Company, filed a complaint in the Massachusetts Superior Court, Suffolk County, captioned Thomas Kidrin v. MariMed Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 19-2173D. In the complaint, Mr. Kidrin alleges that the Company failed to pay all wages owed to him and breached his employment agreement, dated August 30, 2012, and requests multiple damages, attorney fees, costs, and interest. The Company has moved to dismiss certain counts of the complaint and has asserted counterclaims against Mr. Kidrin alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, money had and received, and unjust enrichment. The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter and prosecute its counterclaims.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As a smaller reporting company, we arethe Company is not required to provide the information required bycontained in this Item.item pursuant to Regulation S-K. However, limited information regarding ourthe Company’s risk factors appears inPart I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis1A. of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the captionForward-Looking Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and inItem 1A. RISK FACTORSof ourits Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. These risk factors describe some of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could adversely affect the Company’s business or that could otherwise result in changes that differ materially from management’s expectations. There have been no material changes fromto the risk factors previously disclosedcontained in suchthe Annual Report except for the following additional risk related to COVID-19:

Our business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of the virus. The spread of COVID-19 in the United States and the measures to contain it have negatively impacted the economy and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. Business shutdowns in certain states in response to stay-at-home orders and related measures have temporarily eliminated certain customers’, principally non-medical use customers’, access to our managed dispensaries, adversely impacting sales during this restricted period. In addition, these restrictions and other disruptions caused by the outbreak have impacted our expansion, consolidation, and administrative functions. Further, the volatility in the financial markets and investor uncertainty has delayed and adversely impacted our ability to consummate debt and equity financings to raise working capital to support our operations and expansion plans. As a result, our business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected. Further, the disruption to the global economy and to our business, along with the decline in our stock price, may also negatively impact the future carrying values of certain assets, including inventories, accounts receivables, intangibles, and goodwill. The full extent to which COVID-19 and the measures to contain it will impact our business, operations financial condition, and liquidity will depend on Form 10-K.the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and other future developments related to the response to the virus all of which are highly uncertain. As a result, we cannot predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its operational and financial performance.
