MILLENNIUM SUSTAINABLE VENTURES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
Nature of Operations
Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp., formerly known as Millennium Investment & Acquisition Co. Inc., formerly known as Millennium India Acquisition Company, Inc. (“MILC”, “we”, “our”, the “Company”) is focused on the “Triple Bottom Line” and a commitment to Profit, Planet and People and conducts operations in three segments:
| - | Sustainable cultivation of cannabis in greenhouses | |
| - | Sustainable cultivation of food in greenhouses | |
| - | Sustainable production of activated carbon |
Millennium Cannabis LLC, (“MillCann”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MILC, is focused on a sustainable approach to cannabis cultivation through Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA) in the form of greenhouses, with operations in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Michigan.
On
April 1, 2022, MILC announced that it is expanding its sustainable greenhouse cultivation activities by establishing its first produce
related operations. A newly wholly-owned subsidiary of MILC, Millennium Produce of Nebraska LLC, (“Millennium Produce”),
has executed a long-term lease (the “Lease”) for an approximately
Millennium
HI Carbon, LLC (“MHC”) is a wholly owned subsidiary that acquired an activated carbon plant in Hawaii (the “Hawaii
Plant”) that was intended to produce a very high-grade form of Activated Carbon for the production of ultracapacitors which are
an advanced electrical storage device. During the first half of 2019, MHC concluded that the Hawaii Plant was not capable of producing
consistent results and has made efforts to minimize overhead and cash drain while it seeks a strategic alternative for the Hawaii Plant.
Effective December 31, 2021, MILC determined to write off $
Millennium Carbon, LLC (“MillCarbon”) is a wholly owned subsidiary that has developed a novel method for the sustainable production of activated carbon and has constructed a proof-of-concept pilot-scale plant in Kentucky to produce activated carbon from a waste stream generated by Bourbon distilleries. MILC is evaluating the construction of a commercial scale plant based on the technology it has developed.
On
January 1, 2022, the Lease between Walsenburg Cannabis LLC (“WC”) and PW CO CanRE Walsenburg LLC, a subsidiary of Power REIT,
a related party of which the CEO is also the CEO of MILC, was amended to allow Power REIT to provide funding for additional budget items
(the “Additional Items”) for the purpose of constructing and operating a Marijuana Infused Product manufacturing and processing
facility (“MIP”). Simultaneous with the Lease Amendment, WC entered into a sublease (the “Sublease”) with Fifth
Ace, LLC coterminous with the lease between Fifth Ace, LLC and PW CO CanRE Tam 7, a subsidiary of Power REIT. Pursuant to the Sublease,
Fifth Ace, LLC has granted WC use of a portion of the property located at 7889 Tamarack Lane, Ordway, Colorado 81063 (the “MIP
Area”) for the purpose of assembling the additional items and operating the constructed MIP. The straight-line rent pursuant to
the Sublease is $
| 7 |
On October 1, 2021, MILC filed an application with FINRA for approval to change its name to Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp and received approval for the name change as disclosed in a Form 8-K and Press Release issued on February 16, 2022. We believe the name change better reflects our focus on sustainable Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) cultivation in greenhouses and the sustainable production of activated carbon. MILC, with a focus on the “Triple Bottom Line” and a commitment to Profit, Planet and People is focused on sustainable business practices.
During 2020, MILC announced that it was seeking to de-register as an Investment Company that is regulated under Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As previously announced, MILC has completed the liquidation of its sole investment in securities - its investment in SMC and plans to invest the proceeds in operating businesses. On October 14, 2020, shareholders approved a proposal to change the nature of the Company’s business from a registered investment company under the 1940 Act to a holding company that focuses primarily on owning and operating businesses (collectively, the “Deregistration Proposal”). On March 1, 2021, as amended on May 11, 2021, December 9, 2021 and January 21, 2022, the Company filed an application pursuant Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for an Order Declaring that MILC has Ceased to be an Investment Company (the “Deregistration Order”). On February 2, 2022, the SEC issued a notice that it was commencing the 25-day public review period in response to MILC’s application. On February 28, 2022, MILC received the Deregistration Order declaring that is has ceased to be an Investment Company. Consequently, the financial statements presented in this herein are presented in accordance with the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K file with the SEC on March 15, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of MILC include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows:
| ● | Millennium Carbon LLC | |
| ● | Millennium HI Carbon LLC | |
| ● | Millennium Cannabis, LLC | |
| ● | Millennium HR LLC | |
| ● | Marengo Cannabis LLC (wholly-owned subsidiary of Millennium Cannabis, LLC) | |
| ● | Millennium Produce of Nebraska LLC |
The following indirect subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:
| ● | VinCann LLC |
| 8 |
The following variable interest entities of MILC are also included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:
| ● | Walsenburg Cannabis LLC |
All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In periods where the Company has a net loss, such as below, the computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. The costs of additions and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred. When items of property, plant and equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. The Company capitalizes property and leased equipment where the terms of the lease result in the transfer to the Company of substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the equipment.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
| Machinery and equipment | |
| Furniture and fixtures | |
| Office equipment |
| 9 |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement utilizing the straight-line method.
Depreciation
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount, if any, exceeds its fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, MILC incurred no impairment expenses.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes 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. |
Revenue from the direct sale of cannabis to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the Company transfers control of the good to the customer.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue operating and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders.
ASU 205-40 – Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern requires management to evaluate an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Specifically, management is required to evaluate whether the presence of adverse conditions or events, when considered individually and in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Substantial doubt exists when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance.
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
Although the Company believes its cash available as of March 31, 2022 along with its other current assets and ability to secure additional debt and/or equity financing should be sufficient to fund operations and commitments for twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management has concluded the uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
| 10 |
Fair Value
Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
| ○ | Level 1 – valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds. | |
| ○ | Level 2 – valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 includes U.S. Treasury, U.S. government and agency debt securities, and certain corporate obligations. Valuations are usually obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities. | |
| ○ | Level 3 – valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. |
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, deposits, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their relatively short-term maturities.
Indemnification
Under MILC’s organizational structure and per the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to MILC. In addition, in the normal course of business, MILC enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. MILC’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against MILC. However, based on experience, MILC expects that risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventory
Costs incurred during the growing and cultivation process are capitalized as incurred to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. These costs include materials, labor and overhead used in the growing and cultivation processes. The Company capitalizes pre-harvest costs.
Finished
goods inventory is initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined
as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, disposal and transportation
for inventories in process. The Company periodically reviews its inventory and identifies that which is excess, slow moving or poor product
quality by considering factors such as inventory levels and forecasted sales demand. Any identified excess, slow moving and poor-quality
inventory is written down to its net realizable value through a charge to cost of goods sold. For the three months ended March
31, 2022 and 2021, $
| 11 |
Leases
The Company accounts for leases as required by ASC Topic 842. The guidance requires companies to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates all variable interest entities in which it holds a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary of the entity. Generally, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a legal entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total at risk equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following characteristics: (i) the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) some equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE and is the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party has the power to direct such activities; the amount and characteristics of Company’s interests and other involvements in the VIE; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support to the VIE; and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of Company and the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of these VIEs and general market conditions. As of March 31, 2022, MILC has determined that Walsenburg Cannabis is a variable interest entity.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The Company has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements and believes either they are not applicable or that none of them will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements
3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment and is comprised of the following:

As
of March 31, 2022, the Company’s Property, Plant and Equipment consisted of Activated Carbon production machinery and equipment
at the MillCarbon pilot plant in Kentucky, as well as machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures and office equipment at the three
operations related to Millennium Cannabis. Property, plant and equipment as of March 31, 2021 included the HI asset that was never commercially
operational and therefore did not incur a depreciation expense. Effective December 31, 2021, MILC determined to write off $

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company, through subsidiaries and its consolidated VIE, has entered into four operating leases and two lease amendments:
| ● | ||
| ● | ||
| ● |
| 13 |
| ● | ||
| ● | ||
| ● |
The exercise of the lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company is certain that there is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease terms and considers these leases to be classified as operating leases and the costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Operating lease right-of-use assets are amortized over the length of the leases. The renewal options are not included in the calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as the Company does not believe that it is reasonably certain at this time that these renewal options will be exercised. Periodically, the Company assesses its lease to determine whether it is reasonably certain that these options and any renewal options could be reasonably expected to be exercised.
In general, the individual lease contracts do not provide information about the rate implicit in the lease. Because the Company is not able to determine the rate implicit in its lease, it instead generally uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease liability.
Finance Leases
As
of March 31, 2022, MillCann has three finance leases for equipment which it uses within the operations of cultivating cannabis. The first
two lease amounts financed are $
As of March 31, 2022, the scheduled lease payments are as follows:

Other Contingencies
MHC is currently subject to a lawsuit which involves ownership of a piece of equipment that MHC believes it acquired as part of its original acquisition of the property through the bankruptcy trustee. MHC prevailed in this lawsuit with the court ruling in MHC’s favor and awarding a portion of MHC’s legal fees to MHC. The plaintiff has filed an appeal which is pending. MHC currently does not believe it is likely that the appeal will overturn the ruling of the lower court. MHC also does not believe it has material exposure in the event the ruling at the lower court is not affirmed.
MHC could, from time to time, be involved in additional litigation proceedings arising out of its normal course of business.

The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has caused business disruptions through mandated and voluntary closings. Although temporary disruptions can be expected, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Company’s customers, labor sources, supply chains, and demand for the Company’s services. The potential financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Given that a number of recent significant transactions are considered to be Related Party Transactions, the Board of Directors has established the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions. The purpose of this Special Committee is to approve all future transactions that can be considered Related Party Transactions. All such transactions will be presented to the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions which will then meet in an executive session to discuss the proposed transaction and ultimately vote on such transactions. The composition of the Special Committee will only include Independent Directors. The vote of a majority of the members of the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions will serve to approve transactions that are brought before the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions on behalf of the Board of Trustees.
MILC may enter into transactions in which directors, officers or employees have a financial interest, provided however, that in the case of a material financial interest, the transaction is disclosed to the Board of Directors to determine if the transaction is fair and reasonable. After consideration of the terms and conditions described herein, the independent directors approved such arrangements having determined such arrangements are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company.
11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
According to ASC 280, segment reporting establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of a business about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
As of March 31, 2022, MILC businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as two reportable segments. The reportable segments are determined based on the difference in the product produced. The cannabis cultivation segment, MillCann, (food cultivation did not start until 4/1/22) is focused on a sustainable approach to cannabis cultivation through Controlled Environmental Agriculture (“CEA”) in the form of greenhouses, with operations in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Michigan. The carbon segment, MillCarbon, has developed a novel method for the sustainable production of activated carbon and has constructed a proof-of-concept pilot-scale plant in Kentucky to produce activated carbon from a waste stream generated by Bourbon distilleries.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
April 1, 2022, MILC announced that it is expanding, adding a new line of business of cultivating food in a CEA through a wholly-owned
subsidiary of MILC, Millennium Produce of Nebraska LLC (“MillPro”). This subsidiary was created to enter into a
On April 1, 2022, Power REIT, through a wholly owned subsidiary, filed a Complaint, Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Jury Demand against the Marengo, Michigan. The Complaint was filed in the United States District Court – Western District of Michigan – Southern Division and the Case Number is: 1:22-cv-00321. The Complaint is an action for equitable, declaratory and injunctive relief arising out of Township’s false promises, constitutional violations by the Township’s deprivation of Plaintiffs’ civil rights through its refusal and failure to comply with its own ordinances and state law as well as a common dispute resolution mechanism. MarCann’s ability to conduct the intended operations at the property are being directly affected by the Township and we do not have visibility on when the issue will be resolved. Like all litigation, this case is subject to the litigation risks enumerated in Part II, Item 1 of this report. We remain optimistic that Power REIT will prevail and MarCann will be able to commence operations cultivating cannabis at the Michigan property. Effective April, 27, 2022, MarCann received a license to grow hemp at the greenhouse from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and commenced a limited scale crop of hemp plants that will allow MarCann to not only commence operations but also build experience growing a non-THC strain of the cannabis plant in the greenhouse while we await securing the necessary approvals to grow THC strains of the cannabis plant. We are also pursing markets for hemp and anticipate expanding hemp production based on the evaluation of the market and profit potential.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview
Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp., formerly known as Millennium Investment & Acquisition Co. Inc., formerly known as Millennium India Acquisition Company, Inc. (“MILC”, “we”, “our”, the “Company”) is focused on the “Triple Bottom Line” and a commitment to Profit, Planet and People and conducts operations in three segments: sustainable cultivation of cannabis in greenhouses, sustainable cultivation of food in greenhouses and sustainable production of activated carbon.
On October 1, 2021, MILC filed an application with FINRA for approval to change its name to Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp and received approval for the name change as disclosed in a Form 8-K and Press Release issued on February 16, 2022. We believe the name change better reflects our focus on sustainable Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) cultivation in greenhouses and the sustainable production of activated carbon. MILC, with a focus on the “Triple Bottom Line” and a commitment to Profit, Planet and People is focused on sustainable business practices.
During 2020, MILC announced that it was seeking to de-register as an Investment Company that is regulated under Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As previously announced, MILC has completed the liquidation of its sole investment in securities - its investment in SMC and plans to invest the proceeds in operating businesses. On October 14, 2020, shareholders approved a proposal to change the nature of the Company’s business from a registered investment company under the 1940 Act to a holding company that focuses primarily on owning and operating businesses (collectively, the “Deregistration Proposal”). On March 1, 2021, as amended on May 11, 2021, December 9, 2021 and January 21, 2022, the Company filed an application pursuant Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for an Order Declaring that MILC has Ceased to be an Investment Company (the “Deregistration Order”). On February 2, 2022, the SEC issued a notice that it was commencing the 25-day public review period in response to MILC’s application. On February 28, 2022, MILC received the Deregistration Order declaring that is has ceased to be an Investment Company. Consequently, the financial statements presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are presented in accordance with the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
As of March 31, 2022, MILC has two areas of focus (sustainable cultivation of food started April 1, 2022) and conducts business in two operating segments as follows:
| 1. | Sustainable cultivation of cannabis in greenhouses | |
| 2. | Sustainable production of Activated Carbon |
Cultivation of Cannabis and Food
Millennium Cannabis LLC, (“MillCann”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MILC, is focused on a sustainable approach to cannabis cultivation through Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA) in the form of greenhouses, with operations in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Michigan.
| 19 |
The Walsenburg cannabis campus was a distressed acquisition of a facility that had ceased operations. MILC believes that it was acquired at an attractive basis relative to the in-place improvements which provided an attractive opportunity to immediately commercialize the facility for cannabis cultivation. MILC believes that this WC property has the potential to become a large-scale, low-cost producer of high-quality cannabis to compete effectively in the Colorado market. The campus is subdivided into five parcels which allows for a significant availability of plant count based on how the Colorado Marijuana licensing works. The property is currently behind schedule and over-budget related to capital improvements but is taking steps to rectify the situation after which it anticipates its plant count will increase significantly and drive down its cost of production. The Price for wholesale cannabis in the Colorado market has compressed dramatically from historical prices which has had a negative impact on our performance.
The Vinita facility was a distressed acquisition purchased from an undercapitalized operator. MILC believes that it was acquired at an attractive basis relative to the in-place improvements which provided an attractive opportunity to immediately commercialize the facility for cannabis cultivation. MILC believes that the VC Property has the potential to become a large-scale, low-cost producer of high-quality cannabis to compete effectively in the Oklahoma market. The price for wholesale cannabis in the Oklahoma market has compressed dramatically from historical prices which has had a negative impact on our performance.
The Michigan facility was a distressed acquisition purchase that was vacant at the time of acquisition. MILC believes that it was acquired at an attractive basis relative to the in-place improvements which provide an attractive opportunity to commercialize the facility for cannabis cultivation. MILC believes that this property has the potential to become a large-scale, low-cost producer of high-quality cannabis to compete effectively in the Michigan market once issues related to receiving the remaining approvals for the cultivation of cannabis are received.
On January 1, 2022, the Lease between Walsenburg Cannabis LLC (“WC”) and PW CO CanRE Walsenburg LLC, a subsidiary of Power REIT, a related party of which the CEO is also the CEO of MILC, was amended to allow Power REIT to provide funding for additional budget items (the “Additional Items”) for the purpose of constructing and operating a Marijuana Infused Product manufacturing and processing facility (“MIP”). Simultaneous to the Lease Amendment, WC entered into a sublease (the “Sublease”) with Fifth Ace, LLC coterminous with the lease between Fifth Ace, LLC and PW CO CanRE Tam 7, a subsidiary of Power REIT. Pursuant to the Sublease, Fifth Ace, LLC has granted WC use of a portion of the property located at 7889 Tamarack Lane, Ordway, Colorado 81063 (the “MIP Area”) for the purpose of assembling the Additional Items and operating the constructed MIP. The straight-line rent pursuant to the Sublease is $120,497 per annum.
On April 1, 2022, MILC announced that it is expanding its sustainable greenhouse cultivation activities by establishing its first produce related operations. A newly wholly-owned subsidiary of MILC, Millennium Produce of Nebraska LLC, (“Millennium Produce”), has executed a long-term lease (the “Lease”) for an approximately 1.1 million square foot greenhouse cultivation facility located in O’Neill, Nebraska (the “Property”). The Lease was entered into simultaneously with the acquisition of the Property by Power REIT. David H. Lesser, MILC’s Chairman and CEO is also Chairman and CEO of Power REIT. As part of the transaction, Power REIT has agreed to fund capital improvements of approximately $534,000 for the initial phase of improvements, which includes costs related to the replacement of energy curtains. As part of the transaction, Millennium Produce arranged a $3 million non-recourse loan with a fixed interest rate of 1.5%and a four-year term. The loan is secured by Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment, which was purchased by Millennium Produce, as well as crops.
Activated Carbon
Millennium HI Carbon, LLC (“MHC”) is a wholly owned subsidiary that acquired an activated carbon plant in Hawaii (the “Hawaii Plant”) that was intended to produce a very high-grade form of Activated Carbon for the production of ultracapacitors which are an advanced electrical storage device. During the first half of 2019, MHC concluded that the Hawaii Plant was not capable of producing consistent results and has made efforts to minimize overhead and cash drain while it seeks a strategic alternative for the Hawaii Plant. Effective December 31, 2021, MILC determined to write off $2,765,000, the remaining value of the HI asset for accounting purposes given that the plant is dormant and there is uncertainty around a business plan for this asset.
Millennium Carbon, LLC (“MillCarbon”) is a wholly owned subsidiary that has developed a novel method for the sustainable production of activated carbon and has constructed a proof-of-concept pilot-scale plant in Kentucky to produce activated carbon from a waste stream generated by Bourbon distilleries. The plant recently completed its 150th batch of Activated Carbon, Biochar, and Horticultural Vinegar and MillCarbon believes it has proven itself at the pilot level. MILC is evaluating the construction of a commercial scale plant based on the technology it has developed.

Critical Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results may differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.
The Company has identified its reportable segments and, for each period for which a statement of operations is presented, discloses certain information, separately by reportable segment, relative to the segment industries. MILC businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as two reportable segments. As of March 31, 2022, the reportable segments are determined based on the difference in the product produced. The cannabis segment, MillCann, is focused on a sustainable approach to cannabis cultivation through Controlled Environmental Agriculture in the form of greenhouses, with operations in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Michigan. The carbon segment, MillCarbon, has developed a novel method for the sustainable production of activated carbon and has constructed a proof-of-concept pilot-scale plant in Kentucky to produce activated carbon from a waste stream generated by Bourbon distilleries
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s Property, Plant and Equipment consisted of Activated Carbon production machinery and equipment at the MillCarbon pilot plant in Kentucky, as well as machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures and office equipment at the three operations related to Millennium Cannabis. Property, plant and equipment is carried at historical cost, net of depreciation and adjustments for impairment. The Company assesses the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Property, plant and equipment was never commercially operational and is now dormant for MHC and therefore has not incurred a depreciation expense on this asset and has since written off the asset. Millennium Cannabis recognized depreciation on its property, plant and equipment at its Walsenburg, CO, Vinita, OK and Marengo, MI locations on a straight-line basis over the useful life of five years and leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining term of the lease.
Finished goods inventory is initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, disposal and transportation for inventories in process. The Company periodically reviews its inventory and identifies that which is excess, slow moving or poor product quality by considering factors such as inventory levels and forecasted sales demand. Any identified excess, slow moving and poor-quality inventory is written down to its net realizable value through a charge to cost of goods sold.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:
Revenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the cultivation segment’s revenue increased by $255,085 and cost of goods sold increased by $1,360,827 resulting in a gross loss of $1,105,742 compared to no revenue an no cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2021. This was a result of MILC shifting its focus to cannabis cultivation and the expenses incurred to continue operations in the first quarter of 2022. There was no revenue or cost of goods sold for the carbon segment for both three-month periods ending 2022 and 2021.
| 21 |
Operating Expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, MILC’s total operating expenses were $1,998,113 compared to $120,726 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $1,877,387 was primarily related to an increase in lease expense for $1,418,780 for the cultivation segment, an increase in general & administrative expense of $401,305 and an increase in professional fees of $56,001 of which both were allocated to the carbon and cultivation segments. The increased G&A and professional fees were related to the continued costs of running operations for both the cultivation and carbon segments and increased insurance costs.
Other Income and Net Loss
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $7,580 compared to $69,694 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of $62,114 was due to a decrease in dividend income of $67,383. For the carbon segment, there was a decrease in other income of $5,320 and a decrease in interest income of $51. As a result, consolidated net loss for MILC for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $3,096,275 compared to $51,032, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash totaled $2,962,884 as of March 31, 2022 compared to $1,623,291 as of December 31, 2021. The increase of $1,340,593 is primarily from loan proceeds related to the Company’s credit facility with an affiliate (Note 6) and the Company’s non-recourse loan (Note 7).
With the cash available as of March 31, 2022 and access to the credit facility, we believe these resources should be sufficient to fund our operations and commitments for twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, the Company may seek to raise additional funds through the sale of its securities or other capital sources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures (as defined Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and (to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. The design and operation of a control system must also reflect that there are resource constraints and management is necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls.
Previously Reported Material Weakness
As disclosed in Item 9A. on the Annual Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2022, we previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to its current complement of people resources, processes and systems which do not provide for necessary, timely reconciliation of certain accounts and sufficient consideration regarding recoverability of certain assets. The main material weakness was specifically related to inventory and management is taking the necessary steps to correct the deficiencies and improve upon current procedures and processes, as the weaknesses were due to starting up the cannabis cultivation as a new operating business segment.
| 22 |
Remediation Plan
Management has developed and is executing a remediation plan to address the previously disclosed material weaknesses. We are actively engaged in the remediation of the outstanding material weaknesses, including the implementation of better processes to improve tracing and valuation methods for inventory. To remediate the existing material weakness, additional time is required to demonstrate the effectiveness of the remediation efforts. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial procedures operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these procedures are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are, from time to time, the subject of claims and suits arising out of matters related to our business. In general, litigation claims can be expensive, and time consuming to bring or defend against and could result in settlements or damages that could significantly affect financial results. It is not possible to predict the final resolution of the current litigation to which we are party to, and the impact of certain of these matters on our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation has adversely impacted our business because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
MHC is currently subject to a lawsuit which involves ownership of a piece of equipment that MHC believes it acquired as part of its original acquisition of the property through the bankruptcy trustee. MHC prevailed in this lawsuit with the court ruling in MHC’s favor and awarding a portion of MHC’s legal fees to MHC. The plaintiff has filed an appeal which is pending. MHC currently does not believe it is likely that the appeal will overturn the ruling of the lower court. MHC also does not believe it has material exposure in the event the ruling at the lower court is not affirmed.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The Company’s results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties as described in the 2021 Form 10-K, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in the 2021 10-K. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the 2021 10-K and the following risks, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the risks actually materialize, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, and its continued mutations, governmental authorities in the United States, and internationally have introduced various measures to try to limit the pandemic, including travel restrictions, border closures, non-essential business closures, quarantines, self-isolations, shelter-in-place orders and social distancing protocols. The COVID-19 outbreak and the response of governmental authorities to try to limit it are having a significant impact on the private sector and individuals. The continued spread of COVID-19 globally could continue to have an adverse impact on our business, operations and financial results, including through disruptions in our cultivation and processing activities, supply chains and sales channels, as well as a deterioration of general economic conditions including a possible national or global recession. Shelter-in-place orders and social distancing practices designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 may affect our retail business. Due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation is developing and the uncertainty of its magnitude, outcome and duration, it is not possible to estimate its impact on our business, operations or financial results; however, the impact could be material.
| 23 |
Our business could be adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of a pandemic, or public perception of such a risk, could cause customers to avoid public places and are causing disruptions in our supply chains and/or delays in the delivery of our products. These risks could also adversely affect our customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending on the products we produce. We are also experiencing negative impacts with respect to reliability and consistency of our labor force and the lost of labor as a result of COVID-19. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic highly uncertain. These and other potential impacts could therefore adversely affect our business, growth, and financial condition in ways we may have not yet considered.

Nature of Operations
Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp., formerly known as Millennium Investment & Acquisition Co. Inc., formerly known as Millennium India Acquisition Company, Inc. (“MILC”, “we”, “our”, the “Company”) is focused on the “Triple Bottom Line” and a commitment to Profit, Planet and People and conducts operations in three segments:
Millennium Cannabis LLC, (“MillCann”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MILC, is focused on a sustainable approach to cannabis cultivation through Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA) in the form of greenhouses, with operations in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Michigan.
On April 1, 2022, MILC announced that it is expanding its sustainable greenhouse cultivation activities by establishing its first produce related operations. A newly wholly-owned subsidiary of MILC, Millennium Produce of Nebraska LLC, (“Millennium Produce”), has executed a long-term lease (the “Lease”) for an approximately 1.1 million square foot greenhouse cultivation facility located in O’Neill, Nebraska (the “Property”). The Lease was entered into simultaneously with the acquisition of the Property by Power REIT. David H. Lesser, MILC’s Chairman and CEO is also Chairman and CEO of Power REIT. As part of the transaction, Power REIT has agreed to fund capital improvements of approximately $534,000 for the initial phase of improvements, which includes costs related to the replacement of energy curtains. As part of the transaction, Millennium Produce arranged a $3 million non-recourse loan with a fixed interest rate of 1.5% and a four-year term. The loan is secured by Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment, which was purchased by Millennium Produce, as well as crops.
Millennium HI Carbon, LLC (“MHC”) is a wholly owned subsidiary that acquired an activated carbon plant in Hawaii (the “Hawaii Plant”) that was intended to produce a very high-grade form of Activated Carbon for the production of ultracapacitors which are an advanced electrical storage device. During the first half of 2019, MHC concluded that the Hawaii Plant was not capable of producing consistent results and has made efforts to minimize overhead and cash drain while it seeks a strategic alternative for the Hawaii Plant. Effective December 31, 2021, MILC determined to write off $2,765,000, the remaining value of the HI asset for accounting purposes given that the plant is dormant and there is uncertainty around a business plan for this asset.
Millennium Carbon, LLC (“MillCarbon”) is a wholly owned subsidiary that has developed a novel method for the sustainable production of activated carbon and has constructed a proof-of-concept pilot-scale plant in Kentucky to produce activated carbon from a waste stream generated by Bourbon distilleries. MILC is evaluating the construction of a commercial scale plant based on the technology it has developed.
On January 1, 2022, the Lease between Walsenburg Cannabis LLC (“WC”) and PW CO CanRE Walsenburg LLC, a subsidiary of Power REIT, a related party of which the CEO is also the CEO of MILC, was amended to allow Power REIT to provide funding for additional budget items (the “Additional Items”) for the purpose of constructing and operating a Marijuana Infused Product manufacturing and processing facility (“MIP”). Simultaneous with the Lease Amendment, WC entered into a sublease (the “Sublease”) with Fifth Ace, LLC coterminous with the lease between Fifth Ace, LLC and PW CO CanRE Tam 7, a subsidiary of Power REIT. Pursuant to the Sublease, Fifth Ace, LLC has granted WC use of a portion of the property located at 7889 Tamarack Lane, Ordway, Colorado 81063 (the “MIP Area”) for the purpose of assembling the additional items and operating the constructed MIP. The straight-line rent pursuant to the Sublease is $120,497 per annum.
On October 1, 2021, MILC filed an application with FINRA for approval to change its name to Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp and received approval for the name change as disclosed in a Form 8-K and Press Release issued on February 16, 2022. We believe the name change better reflects our focus on sustainable Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) cultivation in greenhouses and the sustainable production of activated carbon. MILC, with a focus on the “Triple Bottom Line” and a commitment to Profit, Planet and People is focused on sustainable business practices.
During 2020, MILC announced that it was seeking to de-register as an Investment Company that is regulated under Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As previously announced, MILC has completed the liquidation of its sole investment in securities - its investment in SMC and plans to invest the proceeds in operating businesses. On October 14, 2020, shareholders approved a proposal to change the nature of the Company’s business from a registered investment company under the 1940 Act to a holding company that focuses primarily on owning and operating businesses (collectively, the “Deregistration Proposal”). On March 1, 2021, as amended on May 11, 2021, December 9, 2021 and January 21, 2022, the Company filed an application pursuant Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for an Order Declaring that MILC has Ceased to be an Investment Company (the “Deregistration Order”). On February 2, 2022, the SEC issued a notice that it was commencing the 25-day public review period in response to MILC’s application. On February 28, 2022, MILC received the Deregistration Order declaring that is has ceased to be an Investment Company. Consequently, the financial statements presented in this herein are presented in accordance with the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K file with the SEC on March 15, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of MILC include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows:
The following indirect subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:
VinCann LLC (“VC”) is 100% consolidated into the financial statements of MILC as of March 31, 2022. MillCann has invested in VC and receives a preferred equity interest that receives a full return of invested capital plus a 12.5% preferred return, after which MillCann has an 82.0% ownership stake. As of March 31, 2022, MillCann has not received its return of capital and preferred return. Once this occurs, the remaining subordinated ownership will be held by the management team of VC and a non-controlling interest will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The following variable interest entities of MILC are also included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:
Walsenburg Cannabis LLC (“WC”) is 100% consolidated into the financial statements of MILC as of March 31, 2022. MillCann issued capital to WC in the form of a convertible loan for its business operations and MILC is in the process of obtaining regulatory approvals for holding cannabis licenses in Colorado. Upon receiving regulatory approval, it is contemplated that the loan will convert into a preferred equity interest in WC that receives a full return of invested capital plus a 12.5% preferred return, after which MillCann has an 83.5% ownership stake. As of March 31, 2022, MillCann has not received its return of capital and preferred return. Once this occurs, the remaining subordinated ownership will be held by the management of WC and a non-controlling interest will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In periods where the Company has a net loss, such as below, the computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. The costs of additions and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred. When items of property, plant and equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. The Company capitalizes property and leased equipment where the terms of the lease result in the transfer to the Company of substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the equipment.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement utilizing the straight-line method.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $15,482 and $, respectively.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount, if any, exceeds its fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, MILC incurred no impairment expenses.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes 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:
Revenue from the direct sale of cannabis to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the Company transfers control of the good to the customer.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue operating and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders.
ASU 205-40 – Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern requires management to evaluate an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Specifically, management is required to evaluate whether the presence of adverse conditions or events, when considered individually and in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Substantial doubt exists when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $53,580,167 and negative working capital of $4,056,836. Additionally, the Company had recurring losses and negative cashflow from operations. These adverse conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to support the Company’s ongoing operations, the Company entered into a credit facility with an affiliate during the period in which the Company drew down $368,563 with the ability to draw up to $1,500,000 through December 31, 2022. Additionally, the Company secured a $3,000,000 non-recourse loan during the period for purposes of financing the MillPro location.
Although the Company believes its cash available as of March 31, 2022 along with its other current assets and ability to secure additional debt and/or equity financing should be sufficient to fund operations and commitments for twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management has concluded the uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Fair Value
Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, deposits, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their relatively short-term maturities.
Indemnification
Under MILC’s organizational structure and per the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to MILC. In addition, in the normal course of business, MILC enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. MILC’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against MILC. However, based on experience, MILC expects that risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventory
Costs incurred during the growing and cultivation process are capitalized as incurred to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. These costs include materials, labor and overhead used in the growing and cultivation processes. The Company capitalizes pre-harvest costs.
Finished goods inventory is initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, disposal and transportation for inventories in process. The Company periodically reviews its inventory and identifies that which is excess, slow moving or poor product quality by considering factors such as inventory levels and forecasted sales demand. Any identified excess, slow moving and poor-quality inventory is written down to its net realizable value through a charge to cost of goods sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, $950,140 and $0, respectively were expensed through cost of goods sold related to impairment of inventory.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases as required by ASC Topic 842. The guidance requires companies to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates all variable interest entities in which it holds a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary of the entity. Generally, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a legal entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total at risk equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following characteristics: (i) the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) some equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE and is the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party has the power to direct such activities; the amount and characteristics of Company’s interests and other involvements in the VIE; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support to the VIE; and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of Company and the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of these VIEs and general market conditions. As of March 31, 2022, MILC has determined that Walsenburg Cannabis is a variable interest entity.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The Company has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements and believes either they are not applicable or that none of them will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements

Operating Leases
A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company, through subsidiaries and its consolidated VIE, has entered into four operating leases and two lease amendments:
The exercise of the lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company is certain that there is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease terms and considers these leases to be classified as operating leases and the costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Operating lease right-of-use assets are amortized over the length of the leases. The renewal options are not included in the calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as the Company does not believe that it is reasonably certain at this time that these renewal options will be exercised. Periodically, the Company assesses its lease to determine whether it is reasonably certain that these options and any renewal options could be reasonably expected to be exercised.
In general, the individual lease contracts do not provide information about the rate implicit in the lease. Because the Company is not able to determine the rate implicit in its lease, it instead generally uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease liability.
Finance Leases
As of March 31, 2022, MillCann has three finance leases for equipment which it uses within the operations of cultivating cannabis. The first two lease amounts financed are $14,757 for WC and VC, respectively, with terms of 60 months (53 years remaining) at a rate of 3.99% per annum. The third lease is for equipment at WC. The amount financed is $61,743 with a term of 72 (69 months remaining) months at a rate of %.
As of March 31, 2022, the scheduled lease payments are as follows:
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, the operating lease costs were as follows:
For the year ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, total finance lease expense was as follows:
Other Contingencies
MHC is currently subject to a lawsuit which involves ownership of a piece of equipment that MHC believes it acquired as part of its original acquisition of the property through the bankruptcy trustee. MHC prevailed in this lawsuit with the court ruling in MHC’s favor and awarding a portion of MHC’s legal fees to MHC. The plaintiff has filed an appeal which is pending. MHC currently does not believe it is likely that the appeal will overturn the ruling of the lower court. MHC also does not believe it has material exposure in the event the ruling at the lower court is not affirmed.
MHC could, from time to time, be involved in additional litigation proceedings arising out of its normal course of business.
The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has caused business disruptions through mandated and voluntary closings. Although temporary disruptions can be expected, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Company’s customers, labor sources, supply chains, and demand for the Company’s services. The potential financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Commencing September 2016, the Board approved payment to an entity affiliated with the CEO of the Company, Mr. Lesser, to reimburse such entity for accounting and administrative functions at a rate of $750 per month for each of Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp. and Millennium HI Carbon LLC. On October 1, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an increase to $5,000 ($750 from MHC, $1,250 from MILC and $3,000 from MillCann) a month due to the increase in administrative and accounting support needed for the new focus of cannabis cultivation. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the total number expensed to such affiliate was $15,000 and $1,500, respectively.
The Company has hired Morrison Cohen, LLP (“MoCo”) as its legal counsel with respect to general corporate matters. The spouse of the Company’s CEO is a partner at MoCo. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company paid $0 to MoCo. There is no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2022.
VC, WC, and Marengo Cannabis LLC (“MarCann”), have entered into long-term leases for greenhouse cultivation properties that are owned by subsidiaries of Power REIT (Ticker: PW and PW.PRA). David Lesser is the Chairman and CEO of both MILC and Power REIT.
The Company has entered into a credit facility with an affiliate of David H. Lesser, our Chairman and CEO on March 16, 2022 which provides up to $1.5 million of cash to fund the capital needs of the company with a quarterly variable interest rate as determined by the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions of 0% for 1Q2022, 5% for 2Q2022, 7% for 3Q2022 and 9% for 4Q2022. The credit facility carries a default rate of 16% if not paid in full by maturity date. The Company is recording interest using an average interest rate on a straight-line basis.

Given that a number of recent significant transactions are considered to be Related Party Transactions, the Board of Directors has established the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions. The purpose of this Special Committee is to approve all future transactions that can be considered Related Party Transactions. All such transactions will be presented to the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions which will then meet in an executive session to discuss the proposed transaction and ultimately vote on such transactions. The composition of the Special Committee will only include Independent Directors. The vote of a majority of the members of the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions will serve to approve transactions that are brought before the Special Committee – Related Party Transactions on behalf of the Board of Trustees.
MILC may enter into transactions in which directors, officers or employees have a financial interest, provided however, that in the case of a material financial interest, the transaction is disclosed to the Board of Directors to determine if the transaction is fair and reasonable. After consideration of the terms and conditions described herein, the independent directors approved such arrangements having determined such arrangements are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company.

| SEGMENT INFORMATION | 11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
According to ASC 280, segment reporting establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of a business about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
As of March 31, 2022, MILC businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as two reportable segments. The reportable segments are determined based on the difference in the product produced. The cannabis cultivation segment, MillCann, (food cultivation did not start until 4/1/22) is focused on a sustainable approach to cannabis cultivation through Controlled Environmental Agriculture (“CEA”) in the form of greenhouses, with operations in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Michigan. The carbon segment, MillCarbon, has developed a novel method for the sustainable production of activated carbon and has constructed a proof-of-concept pilot-scale plant in Kentucky to produce activated carbon from a waste stream generated by Bourbon distilleries.
Information concerning the Company’s operations by reportable segment for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

On April 1, 2022, MILC announced that it is expanding, adding a new line of business of cultivating food in a CEA through a wholly-owned subsidiary of MILC, Millennium Produce of Nebraska LLC (“MillPro”). This subsidiary was created to enter into a 10-year lease with a subsidiary of Power REIT (Ticker: PW and PW.PRA, collectively, “Power REIT”). The property consists of 86 acres featuring a 1,121,153 square foot state-of-the-art greenhouse cultivation facility and an associated employee housing property located in O’Neil, Nebraska. This is our largest operation to date and MillPro will cultivate tomatoes in the facility. As part of the transaction, MillPro arranged a $3 million non-recourse loan with a fixed interest rate of 1.5% and a term. The loan is secured by Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment, which was purchased by MillPro, as well as crops.
On April 1, 2022, Power REIT, through a wholly owned subsidiary, filed a Complaint, Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Jury Demand against the Marengo, Michigan. The Complaint was filed in the United States District Court – Western District of Michigan – Southern Division and the Case Number is: 1:22-cv-00321. The Complaint is an action for equitable, declaratory and injunctive relief arising out of Township’s false promises, constitutional violations by the Township’s deprivation of Plaintiffs’ civil rights through its refusal and failure to comply with its own ordinances and state law as well as a common dispute resolution mechanism. MarCann’s ability to conduct the intended operations at the property are being directly affected by the Township and we do not have visibility on when the issue will be resolved. Like all litigation, this case is subject to the litigation risks enumerated in Part II, Item 1 of this report. We remain optimistic that Power REIT will prevail and MarCann will be able to commence operations cultivating cannabis at the Michigan property. Effective April, 27, 2022, MarCann received a license to grow hemp at the greenhouse from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and commenced a limited scale crop of hemp plants that will allow MarCann to not only commence operations but also build experience growing a non-THC strain of the cannabis plant in the greenhouse while we await securing the necessary approvals to grow THC strains of the cannabis plant. We are also pursing markets for hemp and anticipate expanding hemp production based on the evaluation of the market and profit potential. |

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

The following indirect subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:
VinCann LLC (“VC”) is 100% consolidated into the financial statements of MILC as of March 31, 2022. MillCann has invested in VC and receives a preferred equity interest that receives a full return of invested capital plus a 12.5% preferred return, after which MillCann has an 82.0% ownership stake. As of March 31, 2022, MillCann has not received its return of capital and preferred return. Once this occurs, the remaining subordinated ownership will be held by the management team of VC and a non-controlling interest will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The following variable interest entities of MILC are also included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:
Walsenburg Cannabis LLC (“WC”) is 100% consolidated into the financial statements of MILC as of March 31, 2022.

| Loss per Common Share |
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In periods where the Company has a net loss, such as below, the computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. The costs of additions and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred. When items of property, plant and equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. The Company capitalizes property and leased equipment where the terms of the lease result in the transfer to the Company of substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the equipment.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement utilizing the straight-line method.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $15,482 and $, respectively.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount, if any, exceeds its fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, MILC incurred no impairment expenses.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes 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:
Revenue from the direct sale of cannabis to customers for a fixed price is recognized when the Company transfers control of the good to the customer.

| Liquidity and Going Concern | Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue operating and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders.
ASU 205-40 – Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern requires management to evaluate an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Specifically, management is required to evaluate whether the presence of adverse conditions or events, when considered individually and in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Substantial doubt exists when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $53,580,167 and negative working capital of $4,056,836. Additionally, the Company had recurring losses and negative cashflow from operations. These adverse conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to support the Company’s ongoing operations, the Company entered into a credit facility with an affiliate during the period in which the Company drew down $368,563 with the ability to draw up to $1,500,000 through December 31, 2022. Additionally, the Company secured a $3,000,000 non-recourse loan during the period for purposes of financing the MillPro location.
Although the Company believes its cash available as of March 31, 2022 along with its other current assets and ability to secure additional debt and/or equity financing should be sufficient to fund operations and commitments for twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management has concluded the uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value | Fair Value
Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, deposits, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their relatively short-term maturities.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Indemnification | Indemnification
Under MILC’s organizational structure and per the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to MILC. In addition, in the normal course of business, MILC enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. MILC’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against MILC. However, based on experience, MILC expects that risk of loss to be remote.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| nventory | Inventory
Costs incurred during the growing and cultivation process are capitalized as incurred to the extent that cost is less than net realizable value. These costs include materials, labor and overhead used in the growing and cultivation processes. The Company capitalizes pre-harvest costs.
Finished goods inventory is initially valued at cost and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, disposal and transportation for inventories in process. The Company periodically reviews its inventory and identifies that which is excess, slow moving or poor product quality by considering factors such as inventory levels and forecasted sales demand. Any identified excess, slow moving and poor-quality inventory is written down to its net realizable value through a charge to cost of goods sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, $950,140 and $0, respectively were expensed through cost of goods sold related to impairment of inventory.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Leases | Leases
The Company accounts for leases as required by ASC Topic 842. The guidance requires companies to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates all variable interest entities in which it holds a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary of the entity. Generally, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a legal entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total at risk equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following characteristics: (i) the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) some equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE and is the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party has the power to direct such activities; the amount and characteristics of Company’s interests and other involvements in the VIE; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support to the VIE; and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of Company and the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of these VIEs and general market conditions. As of March 31, 2022, MILC has determined that Walsenburg Cannabis is a variable interest entity.
