NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

MariMed Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a multi-state organizationoperator in the emerging legal cannabis and hemp industries. During 2018, the Company made a strategic decision to transition from a management and advisory firm that provides cannabis licensing, operational consulting and real estate services, to a direct owner of cannabis licenses and seed-to-sale operations, dedicated to improving health and wellness through the use of cannabinoids and cannabis products.

Further, with the enactment of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill and in recognition of the growing demand for hemp-derived cannabidiol (“CBD”), the Company made a strategic investment during 2018 in Kentucky-based GenCanna Global Inc., an international cultivator, producer, and distributor of hemp and GMP-quality CBD oils and isolates (“GenCanna”).

To date, the Company’s cannabis business has secured, on behalf 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.industry. The Company has developed in excess of develops, operates, manages, and optimizes over 300,000square feet of state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production and dispensing of legalmedicinal and recreational cannabis. The Company also licenses its proprietary brands of cannabis and cannabis-infusedhemp-infused products, locatedalong with other top brands, in several domestic markets and overseas.

Upon its entry into the cannabis industry, the Company was an advisory firm that procured state-issued cannabis licenses on behalf of its clients, leased its cannabis facilities to these newly-licensed companies, and provided industry-leading expertise and oversight in all aspects of the aforementioned states, except Rhode Island. Along with operational oversight of these facilities, thetheir cannabis operations. The Company providesalso provided its clients with license procurement, business development,ongoing regulatory, accounting, real estate, human resources, accounting, and other corporate and administrative services.

In 2018, the Company commenced a strategic plan to transition from a consulting business to a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations. The Company’s strategic plan is primarily comprisedconsists of acquiringthe acquisition of its cannabis-licensed clients who currently leaselocated in five states—Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Nevada—and the Company’s facilities, and ultimately consolidatingconsolidation of these entities under the MariMed banner. To date,

A goal in completing this transition is to present a simpler, more transparent financial picture of the full breadth of the Company’s efforts, with a clearer representation of the revenues, earnings, and other financial metrics the Company has completedgenerated for its clients. The Company has played a key role in the acquisitionsuccesses of its clientsthese entities, from the securing of their cannabis licenses, to the development of facilities that are models of excellence, to providing industry best practices and corporate guidance. Accordingly, the Company believes it is well suited to own these facilities and manage the continuing growth of their operations.

To date, acquisitions of the licensed businesses in Massachusetts and Illinois withhave been state-approved and completed, and establishes the Company as a fully integrated seed-to-sale multi-state operator. The acquisitions of the remaining clients under contract orentities located in Maryland, Nevada, and Delaware are at various stages of negotiation, as discussed below. Each acquisition iscompletion and subject to the respectiveeach state’s approval under its laws governing the ownership and transfer of cannabis licenses. Accordingly, there is no assurance thatlicenses, which in the case of Delaware requires a modification of current cannabis ownership laws to permit for-profit ownership. Meanwhile, the Company will be successfulcontinues to develop additional revenue and business in fully implementingthese states and plans to leverage its plan.success to expand into other markets where cannabis is and becomes legal.

Additionally, theThe Company licenseshas also created its own brands of cannabis flower, concentrates, and precision-dosed cannabis-products utilizing proprietary strains and hemp-infusedformulations. These products are developed by the Company in cooperation with state-licensed operators who meet the Company’s strict standards, including all natural—not artificial or synthetic—ingredients. The Company licenses its product formulations only to treat specific medical conditions orcertified manufacturing professionals who adhere to achieve a certain effect. Thesethe Company’s precise scientific formulations and trademarked product recipes.

The Company’s branded cannabis products are licensed under the brand names including Kalm Fusion™, Nature’s Heritage™, and Betty’s Eddies™, and Florance™.are distributed in the form of dissolvable strips, tablets, powders, microwaveable popcorn, fruit chews, and other varieties in development. 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®Binske® line of cannabis products madecrafted from premium artisan ingredients, the Healer™ line of medical full-spectrum tinctures, and the clinically testedclinically-tested medicinal cannabis strains developed in Israel by global medical cannabis research pioneer 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 additional legal markets worldwide.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The spread of the virus in the United States and the measures implemented to contain it—including business shutdowns, indoor capacity restrictions, social distancing, and 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 relationship with GenCanna,plan have been delayed. Additionally, while the cannabis industry has been deemed an essential business and 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 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and 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 certain of the Company’s assets, including inventories, accounts receivables, and intangibles, as well as negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise working capital to support its 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.

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.

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 nine months ended September 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 continuing 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.

Management also reviewed certain key liquidity metrics of the Company, as further described below, as well as other factors in its evaluation, and determined that there currently exists 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 without additional funding or the continued profitability growth of its cannabis operations in Illinois and Massachusetts.

The Company produced the following improvements to key liquidity metrics during the reported period:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s operating activities provided positive cash flow of approximately $1.6 million, compared to approximately $24.2 million of negative cash flow used by such activities during the same period of 2019, a positive swing of approximately $25.8 million.

At September 30, 2020, the Company’s negative working capital was approximately $9.1 million, a continued improvement from approximately $21.5 million at June 30, 2020 and approximately $29.3 million at December 31, 2019.

The Company successfully restructured the terms of its short-term promissory notes payable to approximately $8.5 million at September 30, 2020 from approximately $17.2 million at June 30, 2020 and $23.1 million at December 31, 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 September 30, 2020.

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 $40.5 million and $150,000$39.7 million at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Please refer to Note 16 – Bad Debts for further discussion on receivable reserves.

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, theThe Company adoptedrecognizes revenue in accordance with 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:

 

Product Sales – direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products by the Company’s dispensary and wholesale operations in Massachusetts and Illinois, and direct sales of hemp and hemp-infused products by the Company’s hemp division. In 2019, this division participated in one-time sales of acquired hemp seed inventory, as further explained in Note 17 – Related Party Transactions. Future product sales are expected to include the Company’s planned cannabis-licensee acquisitions in Maryland, Nevada, and Delaware (upon this state’s amendment to permit for-profit ownership of cannabis entities). This revenue is recognized when products are delivered or at retail point-of-sale.

Real Estate – rental income and additional rental fees generated from leasing of the Company’s state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant legal cannabis facilities to its clients, which are cannabis-licensed operating companies.clients. Rental income is generally a fixed amount per month that escalates over the respective lease terms,term, while additional rental fees are based on a percentage of tenant revenues that exceed a specified amount.amounts.
Management – fees for providing the Company’s cannabis clients with corporate services and operationalcomprehensive oversight of their cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary operations. Along with this oversight, the Company provides human resources, regulatory, marketing, and other corporate services. 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 legalregulated dispensaries throughout the United States.States and Puerto Rico. 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, the Company commenced the direct sale of acquired hemp seed inventory. As 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 acquired and developing hemp-derived CBD product lines, (ii) the dispensary and wholesale operations of ARL in Massachusetts and the KPGs in Illinois, and (iii) the Company’s planned cannabis-licensee acquisitions in Maryland and Nevada. This revenue will be 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 nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, based on the results of management’s impairment analyses, there were no0 impairment 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.

12
 11

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 months ended September 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

  Nine Months Ended September 30, 
  2020  2019 
Life of instrument  2.7 to 4.3 years   2.3 to 3.0 years 
Volatility factors  1.059 to 1.180   1.059 to 1.106 
Risk-free interest rates  0.26% to 1.30%   1.42% 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.

13
 12

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 no0 adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits for the nine months ended September 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 ofAt September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, there were 16,815,10724,860,857 and 15,497,823,16,815,107, 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) $4.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of convertible promissory notes and $11.1 million ofoutstanding convertible debentures payable, (ii) 4,908,333 and 0 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

For the three months ended September 30, 2018.

2020, all such potentially dilutive securities were convertible into approximately 64.6 million net shares of common stock, which were 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 this period as shown in the statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and for the three and nine months ended Septembers 30, 2019, and 2018, allthe 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. The potentially dilutive securities may dilute earnings per share in the future.

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. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt with adjustments to amortization upon full or partial conversions of the debt.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies operating within the legal and medical marijuana industries, including, but not limited to, federal laws, government regulations and jurisdictional laws.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent third-party minority ownership of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is shown in the consolidated statements of operations; and the value of net assets owned by noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of equity within the balance sheets.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which enhances and clarifies the guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This ASU was adopted effective January 1, 2019 with no impact to the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. This update, which provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with that of employees, was adopted effective January 1, 2019 with no material impact to the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.

In addition to the above, the Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of approximately $5,570,000 was recorded as a discount to the carrying amount of the $10M Debentures, with an offset to additional paid-in-capital.

The fair value of the Additional Warrants of approximately $1,148,000 was recorded as a discount to the carrying amount of the Additional $10M Debentures.

Based on the conversion prices of the Additional $10M Debentures in relation to the market value of the Company’s common stock, the Additional $10M Debentures provided the Holder with a beneficial conversion feature, as the embedded conversion option was in-the-money on the commitment date.

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.

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.

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.

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 alleged breach of contract with respect to each of the MOU and the Management Agreement (the “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.

In light of this litigation, the Company has not recorded management fees charged to Kind of approximately $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

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. The Company also licenses its proprietary brands of cannabis and cannabis-infused products. We providehemp-infused products, along with other top brands, in several domestic markets and overseas.

Upon its entry into the cannabis industry, the Company was an advisory firm that procured state-issued cannabis licenses on behalf of its clients, leased its cannabis facilities to these newly-licensed companies, and provided industry-leading expertise and consultative servicesoversight in all aspects of their cannabis licensing procurement, includingoperations. The Company also provided its clients with as ongoing management oversight orregulatory, accounting, real estate, services to five independent operations in five states – Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada and Massachusetts.

We acquire land and/or real estate for the purpose of developing state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant legal cannabis facilities. These facilities are designed to be models of excellence in horticultural principals, cannabis production, product development and dispensary operations.

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 have developed in excess of 300,000 square feet of seed-to-sale cannabis facilities.

In 2018, we beganthe Company commenced a strategic plan to transition from being a management and advisory firm that provides cannabis licensing, operational consulting and real estate services,business to being primarily a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations, dedicated tooperations. The Company’s strategic plan consists of the improvementacquisition of healthits cannabis-licensed clients located in five states—Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and wellness throughNevada—and the useconsolidation of cannabinoids and cannabis products. We have implemented a plan to consolidate the ownership of our client operatingthese entities under the MariMed banner.

A goal in completing this transition is to present a simpler, more transparent financial picture of the full breadth of the Company’s efforts, with a clearer representation of the revenues, earnings, and other financial metrics the Company has generated for its clients. 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.

To date, the acquisitions of clientsthe licensed businesses in Massachusetts and Illinois have been state-approved and completed withand establishes the Company as a fully integrated seed-to-sale multi-state operator, The acquisitions of the remaining clients under contractentities located in Maryland, Nevada, and inDelaware are at various stages of completion as discussed below. Our acquisition efforts areand subject to each particular state’s laws governing cannabis licensethe ownership and accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be successfultransfer of cannabis licenses, which in fully implementing our plan. Once the consolidation is completed, we will own, managecase of Delaware requires a modification of current cannabis ownership laws to permit for-profit ownership. Meanwhile, the Company continues to develop additional revenue and operate cultivation, manufacturingbusiness in these states and retail dispensary operations in six states. Moreover, we planplans to leverage ourits success in providing management oversight in these markets to expand into other states, while focusing on regulatory compliance, efficiencymarkets 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 operators who meet the Company’s strict standards, including all natural—not artificial or synthetic—ingredients. The Company licenses its product performance.

Recognizingformulations only to certified manufacturing professionals who adhere to the emergence 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 producer and distributor of industrial hemp, CBDCompany’s precise scientific formulations 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, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, MariMed Hemp Inc., in January 2019 to market and distribute hemp-derived CBD products across several vertical markets.trademarked product recipes.

In March 2020, the country.

Over our short history, we have developed an excellent reputation for strong managementWorld Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The spread of the virus in the United States and the measures implemented to contain it—including business shutdowns, indoor capacity restrictions, social distancing, and 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.industry has been deemed an essential business, and 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 accompanying the financial statements and within this Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Continued disruption to the global economy may materially and adversely affect the future carrying values of certain of the Company’s assets, including inventories, accounts receivables, and intangibles, as well as negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise working capital to support its 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 management company, our clients have thrivedresult, the Company cannot predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on its operational 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:financial performance.

Professional ManagementRevenues

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 one of the largest hemp producers in the United States by the year 2020, will help ensure we have access to 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-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”), 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.

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 challenges 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 in 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 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 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 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.

Revenues

Our revenues are currently comprised of the following primary categories:

Product Sales – direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products by the Company’s dispensary and wholesale operations in Massachusetts and Illinois, and direct sales of hemp and hemp-infused products by the Company’s hemp division.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONSLiquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.3 million and negative working capital of approximately $9.1 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 Company produced the following improvements to key liquidity metrics during the reported period:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s operating activities provided positive cash flow of approximately $1.6 million, compared to approximately $24.2 million of negative cash flow used by such activities during the same period of 2019, a positive swing of approximately $25.8 million.
At September 30, 2020, the Company’s negative working capital was approximately $9.1 million, a continued improvement from approximately $21.5 million at June 30, 2020 and approximately $29.3 million at December 31, 2019.
The Company successfully restructured the terms of its short term promissory notes payable to approximately $8.5 million at September 30, 2020 from approximately $17.2 million at June 30, 2020 and $23.1 million at December 31, 2019.

 

Three months ended September 30,The large negative working capital balance at December 31, 2019 comparedwas primarily caused by GenCanna’s bankruptcy proceeding under Chapter 11 initiated in early 2020, the details of which are disclosed in the footnotes accompanying the Company financial statements included in this report. Prior to the commencement of these bankruptcy proceedings, during the period March 2019 to June 2019, the Company raised $17.0 million via the issuance of promissory notes to three months ended September 30, 2018

Total revenues forunaffiliated third parties (the “Seed Funding Notes”). The proceeds from the three months ended September 30, 2019 increasedSeed Funding Notes were used to approximately $11.2 million from approximately $3.4 million forfund the same period in 2018, a more than three-fold increasepurchase of approximately $7.8 million. This substantial growth was primarily due to the hemp seed sale transactions with GenCanna, a related party, whereby the Company acquired large quantities of top-grade feminized hemp seeds with proven genetics at volume discounts that itwhich were then sold to GenCanna at market rates (the “Seed Transactions”). The Seed Transactions have beenFunding Notes were committed to be repaid by the end of calendar 2019 utilizing a portion of the approximate $29.0 million of revenue to be generated from the Seed Transactions. Upon the commencement of the GenCanna bankruptcy proceedings, the Company recorded a bad debt reserve at December 31, 2019 against the entire $29.0 million receivable balance from GenCanna.

Also contributing to the large negative working capital balance at December 31, 2019 were the additional bad debt reserves recorded by the Company on such date of $11.2 million against the working capital and receivable balances due from Kind, in light of the pending litigation between the Company and Kind, and $2.2 million against the working capital and receivable balances due from Harvest, based on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Harvest’s operations.

During 2020, the Company (i) successfully extended the maturity dates of all of the Seed Funding Notes, (i) converted $802,000 of accrued interest on the Seed Funding Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, and (iii) paid down $4,450,000 of principal and accrued interest of the Seed Funding Notes with proceeds from newly-issued long-term debt and cash generated from operations. These actions, coupled with the continuing growth and profitability of the Company’s cannabis operations in Illinois and Maryland, and offset by the continued reserves on amounts due from GenCanna, Kind, and Harvest, resulted in a negative working capital balance of $9.1 million at September 30, 2020, an improvement from December 31, 2019 of approximately $20.2 million.

The approximate $1.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the Refinanced Mortgage, the $4.4M Notes, the Third Party Notes, and the $1M Note as discussed in further detail in Note 19 Organization of Description of BusinessDebt of the Company’s financial statements, coupled with the continuing growth in profitability of the Company’s cannabis operations in Illinois and Massachusetts as explained below, offset primarily by the buildup of inventory balances and the purchase of property and equipment.

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 $4.6 million of pretax income for the Company, which continues to exceed forecasts, in part due to the legalization of adult-use cannabis in this state in January 2020. Additionally, the KPGs added a third dispensary in Mt. Vernon which commenced operations in September 2020. 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 Company received final approval for adult-use cannabis production and sales from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, and commenced business in this state’s robust adult-use market in September 2020. 

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the nine months ended September 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 in Part Ithe status of this report. The higherthe Company’s consolidation plan, the continuing 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 revenuescannabis investor confidence, and changes to state laws governing recreational (adult-use) and medical cannabis.

Management also reviewed certain key liquidity metrics of the Company, as further described below, as well as other factors in its evaluation, and determined that there currently exists 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 without additional funding or the continued profitability growth of its cannabis operations in Illinois and Massachusetts.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 approximated $1.6 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $24.2 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year improvement was alsoprimarily attributable to a 167%(i) the increase in licensing revenue associated with the Company’s branded products, and a 91% increasecannabis-derived profits in management fees earned from a percentage of revenue2020 generated by the acquisition of the KPGs in Illinois and ARL in Massachusetts, (ii) the intentional slowing of payments of trade accounts payable and other liabilities in 2020, and (iii) the large purchase of hemp seeds in 2019 as part of the Seed Transactions, offset by higher cannabis inventory in 2020.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 approximated $3.9 million, compared to approximately $9.3 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year decrease in the use of cash was due to the investments in Atalo, Healer, MHWC, and MediTaurus made in 2019. No similar investments were made in 2020. The year-over-year decrease is also due to reduced property and equipment purchases in 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 approximated $3.8 million, compared to approximately $29.5 million for the same period in 2019. In 2020, the Company raised approximately $20.1 million from debt financings, offset by approximately $15.9 million of promissory note and mortgage repayments, compared to debt and equity financings in 2019 of $29.2 million in the aggregate with no repayments of debt.

The proceeds from the aforementioned financings were used to execute on the Company’s cannabis-licensed clients.strategy to become a fully integrated multistate operator of seed-to-sale cannabis operations, to continue the development of its regulated facilities, to grow its hemp operations, to expand its branded licensing business, and for working capital purposes.

Results of Operations

Cost of

Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to three months ended September 30, 2019

Total revenues rose in line with the increase in revenues, from approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 20182020 approximated $13.5 million compared to approximately $6.5$11.2 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of approximately $2.2 million or 19.9%. Excluding the Seed Transactions, core revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This2020 grew to approximately $13.5 million from approximately $4.2 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of approximately $9.3 million or 219.8%. The year-over-year increase was due to aggregate cannabis sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 of approximately $10.8 million generated by the KPGs in Illinois, acquired by the Company in October 2019, and ARL in Massachusetts, acquired by the Company in late 2018 and whose selling operations commenced in December 2019. The cannabis sales were offset by decreases in procurement revenue and management fees charged to Kind, the Company’s cannabis-licensed client in Maryland, and with whom the Company is currently engaged in litigation.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 approximated $4.8 million compared to approximately $6.5 million for the same period in 2019, a decrease of approximately $1.7 million or 26.7%. The year-over-year variance was primarily dueattributable to the cost of hemp seeds incurred by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 of approximately $5.0 million as part of the Seed Transactions.

However, limited information regarding ourthe Company’s risk factors appears inPart I, Item 2.

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 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 pandemic 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.
