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 Company’s 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.
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited combined financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company at the dates and for the periods indicated. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The comparative balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of combined 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 combined 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.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies are included in Note 2 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. There were not changes to these accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Certain accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. These financial statements do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
