1. | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS |
The financial statements presented herein are the combined financial statements of Ancient Alternatives, LLC, Natural Alternatives for Life, LLC, Hillside Enterprises, LLC, Mountainside Industries, LLC, and GT Creations, LCC (altogether “Green Tree” or the “Company”). The Company’s principal businesses include the cultivation and wholesale distribution of cannabis, and the retail sale of both medicinal and recreational cannabis products, including the production and sale of marijuana infused products. The Companies’ operations are located in Boulder, Longmont, and Berthoud, Colorado.
The Company’s business is subject to legal risk. Even though the State of Colorado has granted licenses to the Company for cultivation and retail distribution of marijuana products, these activities remain illegal under federal law. This causes difficulty in obtaining traditional banking and financing relationships. If the federal government elects to enforce the laws as currently written or changes the laws with respect to cannabis, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations, including potential prosecution under the laws and liquidation of the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety of state laws, regulations, and local ordinances.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Transactions between two or more of the companies within the combined group have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such results could be material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. FDIC insured cash balances held in a bank are approximately $107,000 and $482,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 2010, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses on this account, and management believes that the Company’s risk of loss is remote. The remainder of the Company’s recorded cash balances consist of cash on hand and a money market investment .
Inventories
Inventories consists of marijuana plants, marijuana flower, edibles, concentrates, and accessories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The Company periodically reviews physical inventory to specifically identify and adjust the value of excess, obsolete, and otherwise unsaleable items. Based on the low level of historical write-offs and frequent inventory turnover, management believes that obsolete inventory as of the fiscal year end is immaterial, and therefore no reserve for obsolete inventory is recorded as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. When property and equipment is sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gains or losses are recorded in the statements of income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
