INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors

AC Management Group, LLC and Affiliates

Tempe, Arizona

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) of AC Management Group, LLC (an Arizona corporation) and Affiliates (Arizona nonprofit organizations), which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of income, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AC Management Group, LLC and Affiliates as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of AC Management Group, LLC and Affiliates and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about AC Management Group, LLC and Affiliates’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of AC Management Group, LLC and Affiliates’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about AC Management Group, LLC and Affiliates’ ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021 and 2020

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

AC Management Group, LLC (“AC Management”) is an Arizona Limited Liability Company organized in May 2015. The Company is engaged in the leasing of supplies, labor, and other managed services to two medical marijuana dispensaries located in the state of Arizona, as described below. AC Management engages only with those dispensaries that are properly licensed and in good standing with the state of Arizona. The services are performed under cost-plus-fee contracts, fixed-price contracts, and fixed-price contracts modified by incentive and penalty provisions.

 

CJK, Inc. dba Hana Meds (“CJK”) is an Arizona corporation operating on a not-for- profit basis that was incorporated in April 2012. CJK’s mission is to function as a full service alternative health and wellness facility that provides cannabis and natural homeopathic remedies in a compassionate, safe and supportive environment for qualified patients and caregivers. To this end, CJK operates as a marijuana dispensary and a marijuana cultivation facility, while at all times complying with the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) Title 36, Chapter 28 (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations propagated by the Arizona Department of Health Services (“DHS”) (the “Rules” thereunder).

 

Broken Arrow Herbal Center, Inc. dba Hana Meds (“Broken Arrow”) is an Arizona corporation operating on a not -for-profit basis that was incorporated in June 2011. Broken Arrow’s mission is to function as a full service alternative health and wellness facility that provides cannabis and natural homeopathic remedies in a compassionate, safe and supportive environment for qualified patients and caregivers. To this end, Broken Arrow operates as a marijuana dispensary and a marijuana cultivation facility, while at all times complying with the Act, and the Rules.

 

In November 2020, Arizona voters passed Arizona Proposition 207, a Marijuana Legalization Initiative that legalized the possession and use of marijuana for adults (age 21 years or order). Under Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) Title 36, Chapter 28.2 Responsible Adult Use of Marijuana (the Smart and Safe Arizona Act) and Arizona Administrative Code Title 9, Chapter 18, Adult-Use of Marijuana Program, CJK and Broken Arrow obtained marijuana establishment licenses in addition to the medical registration certificates. Accordingly, CJK and Broken Arrow operate as dual licensees wherein they may dispense medical marijuana to registered qualifying patients, and sell marijuana to adults who are at least 21 years of age.

 

Altogether, the entities listed above are referred to as AC Management Group, LLC and Affiliates (“the Company”).

 

The Company’s operations are dependent on the Arizona medical marijuana dispensaries, including the economic and legal conditions which affect the medicinal cannabis and health care industries. Changes in those conditions may affect the Company’s continuing operations.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021 and 2020

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its affiliates described in Note 1. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Accounting Method

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) . In accordance with this method of accounting, revenue is recognized in the period in which it is earned and expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. All revenue and expenses which are applicable to future periods have been presented as deferred or prepaid on the accompanying statements of financial position

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure. The Company conducts substantially all of its business in Arizona. Additionally, the Company operates in the marijuana industry. Consequently, any significant economic downturn in the Arizona market or any changes in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws or changes in state laws could potentially have a negative effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts. Uninsured balances totaled $264,456 and $1,454,613 for each year ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial position for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory, and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates and assumptions are those used in determining collectability of accounts receivable and useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, and deposits in financial institutions and other deposits that are readily convertible into cash. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable due under the management contracts are recorded based on contractual prices and terms specific to the contract. The Company provides for potentially uncollectable accounts receivable by use of the allowance method. The allowance is provided based upon a review of the individual accounts outstanding, prior history of uncollectable accounts receivable and existing economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Normal accounts receivable are due 15 days after the issuance of the invoice. Receivables past due more than 60 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.

 

At December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the net trade accounts receivable balance was $ 243,956, $107,462, and $ 184,614, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $4,565, $25,000, and $25,000, as of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, typically 3 to 10 years and up to 39 years for buildings. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the term of the lease. The Company has a capitalization policy of $1,000.

 

Operating Leases

 

A lease of property and equipment is classified as an operating lease whenever the terms of the lease do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight- line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

 

Revenues

 

The Organization derives its revenues primarily from the sale of marijuana, CBD, and related products in Arizona. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when control of these products is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Organization expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. Sales and other taxes the Organization collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Any shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense.

 

The Organization does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. Costs incurred to obtain a contract will be expenses as incurred when the amortization period is less than a year.

 

Variable Consideration

 

The nature of the Company’s business gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns or price concessions.

 

Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based upon historical experience and known trends.

 

The Company determined that no reserve was necessary for variable consideration based on its historical experience.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred advertising expenses of $470,993 and $212,904, respectively.

 

Income Taxes – AC Management Group, LLC

 

AC Management Group, LLC has elected to be taxed as a partnership for Federal and state income tax purposes, wherein all income or loss of the Company are passed through to the members and reported on their respective income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in these consolidated financial statements related to AC Management Group, LLC.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

 

Income Taxes – AC Management Group, LLC - continued

 

U.S. GAAP require management to perform an evaluation of all income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for Federal and state purposes. Due to the nature of the industry the Company serves, it is possible that the IRS would impose Internal Revenue Code Section 280E (“280E”). The imposition of 280E would disallow all tax deductions for general and administrative expenses. Management believes the imposition of 280E cannot be reasonably estimated and is unlikely to occur.

 

Income Taxes – CJK and Broken Arrow

 

In accordance with the Act, the CJK and Broken Arrow are registered non-profit entities under Arizona law, and therefore are not subject to state income tax. Due to the nature of the CJK and Broken Arrow’s activities under Federal law, they are considered unable to qualify as tax exempt organizations under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

Moreover, pursuant to Section 280E of the Code, these organizations may not be permitted to take tax deductions for certain operating expenses. Because they are not non-profit entities under Federal law, they are therefore subject to Federal income tax. Furthermore, costs of medicinal sales are the only deductible expenses under Federal case law. Management believes that the guidance under Code Section 280E has been appropriately applied.

 

U.S. GAAP, imposes a threshold for determining when an income tax benefit can be recognized. The threshold imposed for financial statement reporting is generally higher than the threshold imposed for claiming deductions in income tax returns. There is no liability, asset, or provision for income taxes reported by these organizations as a result of applying this threshold.

 

These organizations adopted the accounting standard for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, they may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. As a result of implementation of this guidance, management believes that any uncertainties do not represent a significant liability.

Income Taxes – CJK and Broken Arrow - continued

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. Generally, the Company is no longer subject to examinations for income tax returns filed more than three years ago.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption and is effective on January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on the financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain accounts in the prior-year statements have been reclassified for comparative purpose to conform to the presentation in the current-year financial statements.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent events have been evaluated by management through March 22, 2022, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

While management of the Company believe that the Company are in compliance with applicable local and state regulation as of December 31, 2021, marijuana regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations.

In the opinion of management, and based on management’s consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate outcome of such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
