PRELIMINARY OFFERING CIRCULAR DATED FEBRUARY 2, 2022

ITEM 9 LABS CORP.

2727 N 3rd Street, Suite 201

Phoenix, AZ 85004

1-833-867-6337

28,000,000 Units Each Comprised of One Share and One Warrant

Maximum Amount: $42,000,000

Item 9 Labs Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “they,” “them” or “their”), is offering (the “Offering”) up to 28,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering”) units (the “Units”) of the Company for $1.25-1.50 per Unit (the “Offering Price”) on a “best-efforts/no minimum” basis pursuant to Regulation A (“Regulation A”) of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for Tier 2 offerings. Each Unit is comprised of one share (a “Common Share”) of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company and one warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase a Common Share (a “Warrant Share”). Only whole Warrants are exercisable. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Warrant Share for $ 2.00-3.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments, from the date of issuance until the second anniversary of the date of issuance and is redeemable by the Company under certain conditions. The Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The Common Shares and the Warrants comprising the Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this Offering.

The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the OTCQX under the symbol “INLB.” The closing price of our Common Stock on February 1, 2022 was $1.12 per share.

The Company currently estimates that the Offering Price will be between $1.25 and $1.50 per Unit and the Exercise Price will be between $2.00 and $3.00 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Offering Price range and Exercise Price range were determined by management in order to attract investors in this Offering and is based on a discount to the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Markets over the past six months, taking into account trading volume, price range, volume weighted average pricing and other factors. The price range also reflects prices at which the Company believes they can sell such Units in a timely manner, and is not based on book value, assets, earnings or any other recognizable standard of value. Unless otherwise noted, in this Offering Circular, the Company has assumed an Offering Price of $1.375 per Unit and an Exercise Price of $2.50 per Warrant. The Company will determine the final Offering Price and the Exercise Price after the qualification of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, and the Company will sell the Units in this Offering at the fixed prices for the duration of the Offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The Company is selling their Units through a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A, and the Company intends to sell the Units directly to investors.

The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC (“Dalmore”), to act as the broker-dealer of record in connection with this Offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services. This includes the 1% commission, but it does not include the one-time set-up fee and consulting fee payable by the Company to Dalmore. See “Plan of Distribution” for more details. To the extent that the Company’s officers and directors make any communications in connection with the Offering they intend to conduct such efforts in accordance with an exemption from registration contained in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, therefore, none of them is required to register as a broker-dealer.

The Company has engaged Russell Creative Group, LLC (dba Capital Raise Agency) to consult and manage the marketing campaign related to the Offering.

The Company expects to commence the sale of the Units within two calendar days of the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is qualified (the “Qualification Date”) by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) the first-year anniversary after the Qualification Date; (ii) the date on which the Maximum Offering is sold, or (iii) when the Board of Directors of the Company elects to terminate the offering (in each such case, the “Termination Date”). There is no aggregate minimum requirement for the Offering to become effective; therefore, the Company reserves the right, subject to applicable securities laws, to begin utilizing the first proceeds they receive from the Offering towards their business strategy, offering expenses, working capital and general corporate purposes, and other uses, as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this Offering Circular. The minimum investment amount for an investor is 1,000 Units; however, the Company reserves the right to waive this minimum in the sole discretion of our management.

No Escrow

The proceeds of this Offering will not be placed into an escrow account. The Company will hold closings upon the receipt of investors’ subscriptions and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company, upon which funds will be accepted by the Company directly. If, on the initial closing date, the Company has sold less than the Maximum Offering, then they may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales, until the Termination Date.

Investing in the Company’s securities involve a high degree of risk. These are speculative securities. One should purchase these securities only if one can afford a complete loss of one’s investment. See “Risk Factors” starting on page 5 for a discussion of certain risks that one should consider in connection with an investment in the Company’s securities.

OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This summary is not complete and does not contain all the information that one should consider before deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. One should carefully read the entire Offering Circular, including the risks associated with an investment in the Company discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Offering Circular, before making an investment decision. Some of the statements in this Offering Circular are forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” In this Offering Circular, unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “they,” the “Company,” “it,” “their” and “them” refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of Item 9 Labs Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

Overview

Item 9 Labs Corp. (the “Company”), formerly Airware Labs Corp., is a Delaware corporation. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 15, 2010, as Crown Dynamics Corp.

Through a licensing agreement, the Company grows marijuana and produces cannabis-related products for its premium Item 9 Labs product brand at their facility in Pinal County, Arizona on behalf of a licensed marijuana dispensary in the state of Arizona. Substantially all of the Company’s historical revenue since the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 has been earned from this agreement.

In March 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition of OCG, Inc., dba Unity Rd., a cannabis dispensary franchisor. The transaction was structured as a reverse triangular merger, with the effect of OCG, Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Unity Rd. has agreements with nearly twenty (20) partnersfor such partnersto open more than thirty-five (35) Unity Rd. retail dispensary locations in fourteen (14) states. One such franchise unit has been opened to date. Unity Rd. will assist in providing distribution for Item 9 Labs products to be sold across the United States and internationally to its franchisees for public resale, while keeping dispensaries locally owned and operated. As Unity Rd. dispensaries expand in its market penetration, Item 9 Labs aims to offer its products in those locations by expanding the distribution footprint of its premium product offerings to new states.

Item 9 Labs Corp. is a vertically integrated cannabis operator and dispensary franchisor delivering premium products from its large-scale cultivation and production facilities in the United States. The Company believes it brings the best industry practices to markets nationwide through distinctive retail experience, cultivation capabilities, and product innovation. The experienced management team combines a diverse skill set with deep experience in the cannabis sector, franchising, and the capital markets to lead a new generation of public cannabis companies that provide transparency, consistency, and well-being.

The award-winning Item 9 Labs brand seeks to offer best-in-class products and user experience across several cannabis categories. The product catalogue exceeds seventy-five (75) active cannabis strains and more than one hundred fifty (150) differentiated cannabis vape products as well as premium concentrates and Orion vape technologies. The highly-regarded brand has received thirteen (13) first place accolades and nine (9) additional podium placements in Arizona marijuana competitions, including Cannabis Cup, Errl Cup and 710 Degree Cup, for its high-quality, premium flower, concentrates and vape products.

Through the recently acquired national Unity Rd. retail brand, the Company believes it offers a unique value proposition in its business by offering the Item 9 Labs products and its Unity Rd dispensary franchise model. Easing barriers to entry, the franchise approach seeks to provide an opportunity for both new and existing dispensary owners to leverage the knowledge, resources, and ongoing support needed to compliantly thrive in their state. With many years of experience in the legal cannabis industry and franchising, Unity Rd.’s standard operating procedures guide franchise partners through every operational function of the business. The dispensary franchise ranked in the top five (5) out of seven hundred (700) submissions for MJBizDaily magazine’s ranking of the top cannabis retail leaders in the nation, and has earned high placements in several trade industry lists.

On October 6, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) for an existing dispensary license and storefront in Adams County, CO. This will be the first corporate-owned shop under its cannabis dispensary franchise brand, Unity Rd., and is anticipated to open as soon as practicable following regulatory approval by Colorado's Marijuana Enforcement Division (“MED”).

This APA is part of an broader acquisition strategy that is intended to accelerate national expansion by creating turnkey investment opportunities for Unity Rd. franchisees. The Company plans to convert acquired dispensaries, such as the Adams County acquisition, into Unity Rd. shops, operate them internally and then sell them to an existing or future franchise partner. The Company believes this offers an expedited solution for entrepreneurs seeking immediate entry into cannabis. The Company is planning to execute a number of similar transactions to gain a deeper market penetration in select markets.

Subsequently and/or concurrently, the Company plans to introduce the Item 9 Labs suite of products to the same markets through the acquisition of cultivation and production licenses or through joint ventures with qualified local, licensed operators. Item 9 Labs Corp. is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with current cannabis cultivation operations in Arizona, a franchised dispensary in Colorado and planned cultivation and dispensary operations in multiple U.S. markets. As Unity Rd. shops open in key markets, Item 9 Labs intends to distribute its products through the Unity Rd. dispensaries as well as wholesale its products throughout the rest of the market.

Additionally, Item 9 Labs Corp.’s asset portfolio includes Dispensary Permits and Dispensary Templates. These assets provide services specific to different stakeholder groups. Dispensary Permits is the Company’s consulting firm specializing in strategic license application and compliance. Dispensary Templates, a subdivision of the firm, is a technology platform with an extensive digital library of licensing and business planning resources.

Across its brands and ongoing education to communities nationwide, Item 9 Labs Corp. seeks to elevate trust in cannabis among consumers, entrepreneurs and investors. The Company intends to advance the cannabis industry with its dynamic product suites that can be accelerated by the retail franchise model, which requires low corporate capital requirements since franchisees own and operate their own businesses.

The Company is an early-stage growth company. It is generating cash from sales and is investing its capital reserves in operations, plant expansion and enhancement, and new acquisitions that will generate additional earnings in the long term. The Company expects that its cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with private and/or public financing, will be adequate to meet its capital requirements and operational needs for the next 12-24 months, although no assurance can be given that private and/or public financing can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Dividends

The Company has not declared or paid a cash dividend to stockholders since it was organized and does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors presently intends to retain any earnings to finance the Company’s operations and does not expect to authorize cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon the Company’s earnings, capital requirements and other factors.

The Company’s principal offices are located at 2727 N 3rd Street, Suite 201, Phoenix AZ 85004.

RISK FACTORS

The following is only a summary of the risks pertaining to the Company. Investment in their securities involves risks. One should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to other information contained in this Offering Circular. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause one to lose all or part of one’s investment. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute “forward-looking statements.”

Risks Related to the Company and its Business

 Cannabis (other than hemp) remains illegal under federal law, and any change in the enforcement priorities of the federal government could render the Company’s current and planned future operations unprofitable or even prohibit such operations.

The Company operates both directly and indirectly in the cannabis industry, which is dependent on state laws and regulations pertaining to such industry; however, under federal law, cannabis (other than hemp) remains illegal.

The United States federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, on one of five schedules. Cannabis is currently classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse and having no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. No prescriptions may be written for Schedule I substances, and such substances are subject to production quotas imposed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”). Because of this, doctors may not prescribe cannabis for medical use under federal law.

Currently, 36 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Island allow the use of medical cannabis and 18 states and the District of Columbia and Guam have legalized cannabis for “adult-use” or recreational use. These state and territorial laws are in conflict with the federal CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal at the federal level. The United States Supreme Court has confirmed that the federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, including for medical purposes, and that federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use.  

The United States Department of Justice has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amounts of marijuana for use on private property but relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity (see “Federal regulation of cannabis in the United States,” below). In addition, a federal statute, renewed each year in the Congressional budget since 2014 (the so-called “Blumenauer Amendment”), prohibits the use of federal enforcement dollars against state-legal medical cannabis operators. In the event the Department of Justice reverses stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical marijuana and adult-use marijuana in small amounts, or if Congress does not continue to renew the Blumenauer Amendment or an equivalent, there may be a direct and adverse impact to the Company and its revenue and profits.

The Company has expressed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder its ability to obtain future financing.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $1,454,460 of cash and negative working capital of ($4,393,385) (current assets minus current liabilities), compared with $84,677 of cash and ($7,396,258) of negative working capital as of September 30, 2020. We have experienced substantial and recurring losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of $33,874,094 at September 30, 2021. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s management concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at September 30, 2021. If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, they may not be able to accurately report the Company’s financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in their financial reporting, which would harm their business and the trading price of their stock.

5

In the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company disclosed that their management assessed the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2021, due to material weaknesses, including a lack of segregation of duties, a lack of risk assessment procedures on internal control to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and a lack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.

In expanding on the Company’s cited material weaknesses, the Company disclosed that their limited size has prevented them from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable them to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within their system of internal control. Further, the Company lacks risk assessment procedures on internal control to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and lacks documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.

Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If the Company cannot provide financial reports or prevent fraud, their business reputation and operating results could be harmed. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in their reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of their stock.

The Company is an early-stage growth company.

The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and has incurred net losses since its inception. These losses, with the associated substantial accumulated deficit, are a direct result of the Company’s planned ramp up period as it is pursuing market acceptance and geographic expansion. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations. The commercial response to the product offerings is still uncertain, and although the Company believes that its strategy incorporates advantages compared to other cannabis business models, if patients or consumers do not respond favorably to the Company’s products or if it takes longer to develop its products or establish its customer base or it proves to be more costly than currently anticipated to develop its businesses, revenues may be adversely affected.

The Company will need, but may be unable to, obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute the Company’s stockholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on their business.

In the future, the Company hopes to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of their activities. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any significant cash from their operating activities in the future. Future financings may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the Common Shares will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict the Company’s flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because the Company could lose their existing sources of funding and impair their ability to secure new sources of funding. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any investor interest in its securities. If the Company does not obtain additional financing, the Company’s business may be materially adversely affected and could require them to suspend operations, in which case one would likely lose the entirety of your investment in the Company.

Even if this Offering is successful, the Company will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force the Company to delay, limit or terminate their product development efforts or other operations.

6

The net proceeds from this Offering, excluding potential proceeds from the sale of Warrant Shares upon exercise of all the Warrants, will be up to $42,000,000, after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company expects that if at least 50% of the offered Units are sold in this Offering, the net proceeds will be sufficient to fund their current operations for at least the next twenty-four (24) months, and twelve (12) months if only 25% of the Units are sold. However, the Company may not achieve the maximum sale of Units, and/or their operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to them, and they may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances or a combination of these approaches. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. It is not certain that the Company has accounted for all costs and expenses of future development and regulatory compliance. Even if the Company believes they have sufficient funds for their current or future operating plans, the Company may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if they have specific strategic considerations.

Any additional fundraising efforts may divert the Company’s management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect their ability to develop and commercialize their products. In addition, they cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to them, if at all. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of their stockholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by the Company, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of their shares to decline. The sale of additional equity or convertible securities may dilute their existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and the Company may be required to agree to certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on their ability to incur additional debt, limitations on their ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact the Company’s ability to conduct their business. The Company could also be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and the Company may be required to relinquish rights to some of their technologies or product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to the Company, any of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and prospects.

If the Company is unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, they may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of their research or development programs or the commercialization of any product, or be unable to expand their operations or otherwise capitalize on the Company’s business opportunities, as desired, which could materially affect their business, financial condition and results of operations.

Investors will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of one’s shares of Common Stock.

Investors will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Common Stock one purchases in this Offering. Assuming all 28,000,000 Units are sold for estimated net proceeds of $36,813,250 (after deducting estimated offering expenses), purchasers of Units in this Offering will experience dilution of approximately $0.93 in net tangible book value of one’s Shares. See “Dilution.”

If the Company fails to raise additional capital, the Company’s ability to implement its business model and strategy could be compromised.

The Company has limited capital resources. To date, the Company’s operations have been funded by and through the Company’s operations, private placements of the Company’s securities and financing from the Company’s financing partners. The Company expects to require substantial additional capital in the near future, including through this Offering, in order to execute the Company’s businesses as planned, to develop and expand the Company’s operations, expand the Company’s brand in the marketplace, and to establish the targeted levels of production. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Even if the Company obtains financing for its near-term operations, the Company expects that they will require additional capital beyond the near term. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed, its business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected, and the Company could be forced to reduce or discontinue the Company’s operations.

7

If the Company needs additional capital to fund their growing operations, the Company may not be able to obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to limit the scope of the Company’s operations.

If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to expand their business operations and they would have to modify their business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company.

In connection with its growth strategies, the Company may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, the Company may not have sufficient capital to fund their future operations without additional capital investments. The Company’s capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including: (i) their profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products by their competition; (iii) the level of their investment in marketing and branding their products and (iv) the amount of their capital expenditures. The Company cannot assure one that they will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet their needs.

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, especially those in the cannabis industry, have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, the Company’s securities can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from market forces over which the Company will have no control. If the Company needs additional funding they will, most likely, seek such funding in the United States and the effect of market fluctuations on their stock price could limit their ability to obtain equity financing.

If the Company cannot obtain additional funding, they may be required to: (i) limit their expansion; (ii) limit their marketing efforts and (iii) decrease or eliminate capital expenditures. Such reductions could adversely affect their business and their ability to compete.

Even if the Company does find a source of additional capital, they may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are favorable to the Company. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of its existing stockholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by the Company to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to their Common Shares. The Company cannot give any assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company, or if available, will be on terms favorable to the Company.

The Company faces inherent risks prevalent when performing acquisitions and dispositions.

Material acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions involve a number of risks, including: (i) potential disruption of the Company’s ongoing business; (ii) distraction of management; (iii) the Company may become more financially leveraged; (iv) the anticipated benefits and cost savings of those transactions may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected; (v) increasing the scope and complexity of the Company’s operations; (vi) loss or reduction of control over certain of the Company’s assets; and (vii) litigation or other disputes concerning either the Company’s obligations to counterparties under relevant transaction documents or liabilities of an acquisition target or its previous owners (whether disclosed or undisclosed at the time of the relevant transaction).

The presence of one or more material liabilities of an acquired company that are unknown to the Company at the time of acquisition could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition of the Company. While the Company attempts to obtain appropriate indemnification provisions in connection with its acquisitions and dispositions, the Company may still be exposed to significant financial or reputational risk as a result of entering into such transactions.

The required regulatory approvals needed for certain acquisitions may not be obtained or may contain materially burdensome conditions.

Completion of certain of the Company’s potential acquisitions, specifically the transfer of certain licenses and cannabis inventory, are conditioned upon the receipt of certain approvals of the transfer of the assets and licenses by the respective state and local regulators. There can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained. In addition, the governmentalentities from which these approvals are required may impose conditions on the completion of the transfer or require changes to the terms of the transfer of the licenses. Such conditions or changes could have the effect of jeopardizing or delaying completion of the transfer of the licenses or reducing the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions. If the Company agrees to any material conditions in order to obtain any approvals required to complete any acquisition, the Company’s business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

8

Failure to effectively manage growth of internal operations and business may strain the Company’s financial resources.

The Company intends to significantly expand the scope of their business operations in the near term. The Company’s growth rate may place a significant strain on their financial resources for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:

• The need for continued development of the Company’s financial reporting and information management systems;

• The need to manage strategic relationships and agreements with manufacturers, suppliers, customers and partners; and

• Difficulties in hiring and retaining skilled management, technical and other personnel necessary to support and manage the Company’s business.

Additionally, the Company’s strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may impose a significant burden on their administrative and operational resources. The Company’s ability to effectively manage growth will require them to substantially expand the capabilities of their administrative and operational resources and to attract, train, manage and retain qualified management and other personnel. The Company’s failure to successfully manage growth could result in their sales not increasing commensurately with capital investments. The Company’s inability to successfully manage growth could materially adversely affect their business.

The failure to hire additional employees could harm the Company’s business.

The Company’s future success also depends upon the Company’s continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Expansion of the Company’s business and the management and operation will require additional managers, officers, directors and employees with industry experience, and the Company’s success will be highly dependent on their ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel and other employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for honest, diligent and skilled personnel in the Company’s industry is significant. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees.

Risks Related to the Cannabis Industry

The Company may be exposed to inherent risk due to the Federal regulation of cannabis in the United States.

Investors are cautioned that in the United States, cannabis is largely regulated at the state level.

As a result of the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis noted below, investments in cannabis businesses in the United States are subject to inconsistent legislation and regulation. The response to this inconsistency was addressed in the memorandum which then Deputy Attorney General James Cole sent to all United States district attorneys (the “Cole Memorandum”) acknowledging that, notwithstanding the designation of cannabis as a controlled substance at the federal level in the United States, several states had enacted laws relating to cannabis for medical purposes.

The Cole Memorandum outlined the priorities for the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) relating to the prosecution of cannabis offenses. In particular, the Cole Memorandum noted that in jurisdictions that have enacted laws legalizing cannabis in some form and that have also implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis, conduct in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to be a priority at the federal level. Notably, however, the DOJ never provided specific guidelines for what regulatory and enforcement systems it deemed sufficient under the Cole Memorandum standard. In light of limited investigative and prosecutorial resources, the Cole Memorandum concluded that the DOJ should be focused on addressing only the most significant threats related to cannabis. States where medical cannabis had been legalized were not characterized as a high priority.

9

In 2017, then newly appointed Attorney General Jeff Sessions again noted limited federal resources and acknowledged that much of the Cole Memorandum had merit. However, in 2018, then General Sessions issued a memorandum (the “Sessions Memorandum”), which rescinded and superseded the Cole Memorandum. The Sessions Memorandum stated, in part, that current law reflects “Congress’ determination that cannabis is a dangerous drug and cannabis activity is a serious crime”, and Mr. Sessions directed all U.S. Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and to follow well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related to cannabis activities as set out in chapter 9-27.000 of the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual. The inconsistency between federal and state laws and regulations is a major risk to the Company’s business.

As a result of the Sessions Memorandum, federal prosecutors are now free to utilize their prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to prosecute cannabis activities despite the existence of state-level laws that may be inconsistent with federal prohibitions. However, the Company believes that the Cole Memorandum’s principles remain well respected, and the federal government under Sessions’ tenure prosecuted no state law compliant entities. Sessions resigned in late 2018. The new Attorney General William Barr testified in his confirmation hearing that he will not upset “settled expectations”, “investments”, or other “reliance interest[s]” arising as a result of the Cole Memorandum, and that he does not intend to use federal resources to enforce federal cannabis laws in states that have legalized cannabis “to the extent people are complying with the state laws.”

Medical cannabis is currently further protected against enforcement by enacted legislation from United States Congress in the form of the Blumenauer-Farr Amendment, which similarly prevents federal prosecutors from using federal funds to impede the implementation of medical cannabis laws enacted at the state level, subject to Congress restoring such funding. If such funding were ever restored, actions which were previously protected could be subject to prosecution if they are within the statute of limitations.

Current Attorney General Merrick Garland, appointed by President Biden, has not readopted the Cole Memorandum or announced a substantive cannabis enforcement policy, although Mr. Garland has indicated he would deprioritize enforcement of low-level cannabis crimes such as possession and other state-legal operations and otherwise expressed views consistent with the Cole Memorandum. Recent statements include, “I do not think it the best use of the Department’s limited resources to pursue prosecutions of those who are complying with the laws in states that have legalized and are effectively regulating marijuana…I do think we need to be sure, for example, that there are no end runs around the state laws by criminal enterprises, and that access is prohibited to minors.”

Due to the dual sovereign nature of American government, the federal government can assert criminal violations of U.S. federal law despite state law. Since the Cole Memo, there have not been publicized instances of any state-legal cannabis operations being prosecuted absent claims that the operation is also violating state law. Nonetheless, the level of prosecutions of state-legal cannabis operations is entirely unknown. If the DOJ policy were to change course and aggressively pursue financiers or equity owners of cannabis-related business, and United States Attorneys followed such DOJ policies through pursuing prosecutions, then the Company could face (i) seizure of its cash and other assets used to support or derived from its cannabis subsidiaries, (ii) the arrest of its employees, directors, officers, managers and investors, and charges of ancillary criminal violations of the CSA for directly violating, or aiding and abetting and conspiring to violate the CSA by virtue of providing financial support to cannabis companies that service or provide goods to state-licensed or permitted cultivators, processors, distributors, and/or retailers of cannabis; and/or (iii) barring employees, directors, officers, managers and investors who are not U.S. citizens from entry into the United States temporarily or for life.

Under these circumstances, it also is possible that a federal prosecutor would seek to seize the assets of the Company, and to recover the “illicit profits” previously distributed to stockholders resulting from any of cannabis activities of the Company. In these circumstances, the Company’s operations would cease, stockholders may lose their entire investment and directors, officers and/or stockholders may be left to defend any criminal charges against them at their own expense and, if convicted, may be sent to federal prison.

The Blumenauer-Farr Amendment remains current in effect. On September 30, 2021, the amendment was renewed through the signing of a stopgap spending measure which is effective through December 3, 2021.

Should the Blumenauer-Farr Amendment not be renewed upon expiration in subsequent spending bills there can be no assurance that the federal government will not seek to prosecute cases involving medical cannabis businesses that are otherwise compliant with state law.

10

Such potential proceedings could involve significant restrictions being imposed upon the Company or on the Company’s business, revenues, operating results and financial condition as well as the Company’s reputation, even if such proceedings were concluded successfully in favor of the Company.

Additionally, there can be no assurance as to the position any new administration may take on cannabis and a new administration could decide to enforce the U.S. federal laws strongly. Any enforcement of current U.S. federal laws could cause significant financial damage to the Company and its stockholders. Further, future presidential administrations may want to treat cannabis differently and potentially enforce the U.S. federal laws more aggressively.

Violations of any U.S. federal laws and regulations could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens, or criminal charges, including, but not limited to, disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including its reputation and ability to conduct business, its holding (directly or indirectly) of cannabis licenses in the United States, the listing of its securities on various stock exchanges or trading platforms, its financial position, operating results, profitability or liquidity or the market price of its publicly traded shares. In addition, it is difficult to estimate the time or resources that would be needed for the investigation of any such matters or its final resolution because, in part, the time and resources that may be needed are dependent on the nature and extent of any information requested by the applicable authorities involved, and such time or resources could be substantial.

The Company understands that almost all major securities clearing firms in the U.S. refuse to facilitate transactions related to securities of companies involved in the marijuana industry, especially those companies, like the Company, whose securities are not trading on national securities exchanges. This is due to the fact that marijuana continues to be listed as a Schedule I controlled substance under U.S. federal law, with the result that marijuana-related practices or activities, including the cultivation, possession or distribution of marijuana, are illegal under U.S. federal law. Accordingly, U.S. residents who acquire Common Shares or Warrant Shares may find it difficult, or costly – if not impossible – to resell such shares over the facilities of any stock exchange or trading platform on which the Common Shares or Warrant Shares may then be listed, including the OTCQX. It remains unclear what impact, if any, this and any future actions among market participants in the U.S. will have on the ability of U.S. residents to resell any Common Shares that they may acquire in open market transactions.

There is regulatory uncertainty related to state cannabis laws.

The rulemaking process for cannabis operators at the state level in any state will be ongoing and result in frequent changes. As a result, a compliance program is essential to manage regulatory risk. All operating policies and procedures implemented by the Company are compliance-based and derived from the state regulatory structure governing ancillary cannabis businesses and their relationships to state-licensed or permitted cannabis operators, if any. Notwithstanding the Company’s efforts, regulatory compliance and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals can be costly and time-consuming. No assurance can be given that the Company will receive the requisite licenses, permits or cards to operate its businesses.

In addition, local laws and ordinances could restrict the Company’s business activity. Although legal under the laws of the states in which the Company’s business will operate, local governments have the ability to limit, restrict, and ban cannabis businesses from operating within their jurisdiction. Land use, zoning, local ordinances, and similar laws could be adopted or changed, and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. It is possible that laws or regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to the Company’s business. The Company cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can the Company determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on the Company’s business.

11

The Company is aware that multiple states are considering special taxes or fees on businesses in the cannabis industry. It is a potential yet unknown risk at this time that other states are in the process of reviewing such additional fees and taxation, which could result in changes in the state in which the Company operates. This could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. 

The Company may be exposed to risks upon the re-classification of cannabis in the United States.

If cannabis is re-categorized as a Schedule II or lower controlled substance, the ability to conduct research on the medical benefits of cannabis would most likely be improved; however, rescheduling cannabis may materially alter enforcement policies across many federal agencies, primarily the FDA. The FDA is responsible for ensuring public health and safety through regulation of food, drugs, supplements, cosmetics and other similar products, pursuant to its enforcement authority set forth in the United States Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”). The FDA’s responsibilities include regulating the ingredients, as well as the marketing and labeling, of drugs sold in interstate commerce. Because cannabis is federally illegal to produce and sell, and because it has no federally recognized medical uses, the FDA has historically deferred enforcement related to cannabis to the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”); however, the FDA has enforced the FDCA with regard to hemp-derived products, especially CBD, sold outside of state-regulated cannabis businesses.

If cannabis were to be rescheduled to a federally controlled, yet legal, substance, the FDA would likely play a more active regulatory role. In the event that cannabis becomes subject to FDA regulation, the pharmaceutical industry may directly compete with state-regulated cannabis businesses for market share, and the pharmaceutical industry may urge the DEA, the FDA, and others to enforce the CSA and FDCA against businesses that comply with state but not federal law. The potential for multi-agency enforcement could threaten or have a materially adverse effect on existing cannabis businesses whose operations are compliant with applicable state laws, including the Company.

Additionally, the FDA may issue rules and regulations including good manufacturing practices, related to the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of medical cannabis. Clinical trials may be needed to verify efficacy and safety. It is also possible that the FDA would require that facilities where medical-use cannabis is grown register with the FDA and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, the impact on the cannabis industry is unknown, including what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If the Company is unable to comply with the regulations or registration as prescribed by the FDA, it may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company could have exposure to risks related to the failure of cannabis legislation passing in certain states.

The Company’s business model depends on the legalization of cannabis, for medical and/or adult-use, at the state level. It is possible that legislation in certain states in which the Company may wish to operate could fail to obtain the necessary votes and fail to pass. Such inability for states to pass such legislation could materially impact the Company’s future growth prospects. If a state passes legislation to legalize cannabis for medical and/or adult-use, the state may subsequently pass legislation to implement the law and potentially address any details not addressed in the legalizing statute or constitutional amendment itself. It is possible that such implementing legislation could be drafted in such a way as to make the Company’s operations more challenging and costly.

Federal cannabis law pre-emptioncould pose a risk to the Company.

It is possible that the federal government could pass legislation legalizing cannabis for medical and/or adult-use in the future. Such federal legislation could preempt similar legislation, and/or similar legalization efforts, including existing state laws. The Company’s operations could be subject to new federal laws and regulations, which are currently unknown and could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

12

Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and other proprietary information.

The Company’s success depends upon the skills, knowledge and experience of their technical personnel, their consultants and advisors as well as their licensors and contractors. Because the Company operates in a highly competitive field, they will rely significantly on trade secrets to protect their proprietary techniques and processes. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. The Company enters into confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with their corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third-party businesses confidential information developed by the Company during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with the Company. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to the Company will be the Company’s exclusive property. However, these agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to the Company. The Company’s trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case the Company would not be able to prevent the use of such trade secrets by their Company’s competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using the Company’s trade secrets could be difficult, expensive and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could adversely affect the Company’s competitive position.

The Company faces inherent risks associated with extensive regulation and taxation in the cannabis industry.

The Company’s services and customers are expected to be subject to federal, state, county, local and other regulations that are subject to change without notice. In addition, there may be other legal, tax and/or regulatory changes that the Company may or may not be able to foresee that may materially affect the Company. The process of complying with any regulations that may be imposed could, among other unknown risks, take a significant period of time and require the expenditure of substantial resources.

The Company faces inherent risks associated with it competing with criminal enterprises.

The Company’s operations may be a source of competition with current criminal enterprises dealing in cannabis, including drug cartels. As a result, the operations of the Company may be an ongoing target of attacks specifically designed to impede the success of its products, and it may be exposed to various levels of criminal interference and other risks and uncertainties including terrorism, violence, hostage taking and other drug gang activities. The nature of the Company’s operations may also make the Company subject to greater risks of theft and greater risks as to property security. These conditions could lead to lower productivity and higher costs, which would adversely affect results of operations and cash flow of the Company. Such conditions could have a material impact on the investment returns of the Company.

The Company faces inherent risks associated with the cannabis industry due to limited access to banking and the ability to access public and private capital.

In February 2014, the US Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) issued a Memorandum (the “FinCEN Memorandum”) outlining the pathways for financial institutions to bank state-sanctioned cannabis businesses in compliance with federal enforcement priorities. The FinCEN Memorandum echoed the enforcement priorities of the Cole Memorandum and states that in some circumstances, it is permissible for banks to provide services to cannabis-related businesses without risking prosecution for violation of federal money laundering laws. Under these guidelines, financial institutions must submit a suspicious activity report (“SAR”) in connection with all banking activities on behalf of “marijuana related businesses” (as referred to in the FinCEN Memorandum), in accordance with federal money laundering laws. These cannabis-related SARs are divided into three categories – cannabis limited, cannabis priority, and cannabis terminated – based on the financial institution’s belief that the business in question follows state law, is operating outside of compliance with state law, or where the banking relationship has been terminated, respectively. Despite the foregoing, although FinCEN reported 706 banks and credit unions accepting business from marijuana related businesses as of June 2021, most banks do not accept deposit funds from state-sanctioned cannabis businesses. As a result, businesses involved in the cannabis industry in the U.S. often have difficulty accessing the U.S. banking system and traditional financing sources.

13

In addition to the foregoing, banks may refuse to process debit card payments and credit card companies generally refuse to process credit card payments for cannabis-related businesses. As a result, the Company may have limited or no access to banking or other financial services in the United States. In addition, federal money laundering statutes and Bank Secrecy Act regulations discourage financial institutions from working with any organization that sells a controlled substance, regardless of whether the state it resides in permits cannabis sales. The inability or limitation in the Company’s ability to open or maintain bank accounts, obtain other banking services and/or accept credit card and debit card payments may make it difficult for the Company to operate and conduct its business as planned or to operate efficiently. 

Risks Related to the Company’s Products and Services

The Company could face various risks due to its products and services offered.

Because the Company’s industry is relatively new, there is limited information about comparable companies available for potential investors to review in making a decision about whether to invest in the Company.

Stockholders and investors should further consider, among other factors, the Company’s prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like the Company, are in their early stages. For example, unanticipated expenses and problems or technical difficulties may occur and they may result in material delays in the operation of the Company’s business. The Company may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement its operating strategies. If the Company fails to do so, it could materially harm the Company’s business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of the securities of the Company to the point investors may lose their entire investment.

The Company expects to commit significant resources and capital to develop and market existing products and new products and services. These products are relatively untested, and the Company cannot assure stockholders and investors that it will achieve market acceptance for these products, or other new products and services that the Company may offer in the future. Moreover, these and other new products and services may be subject to significant competition with offerings by new and existing competitors in the business. In addition, new products and services may pose a variety of challenges and require the Company to attract additional qualified employees. The failure to successfully develop and market these new products and services could seriously harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company competes with a number of other companies, including other licensed entities in the United States, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources and experience than the Company has.

The Company faces, and they expect to continue to face, intense competition from licensed cannabis operators, both public and private, and other potential competitors, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources and experience than the Company has. In addition, the cannabis industry currently is undergoing consolidation, creating larger companies with financial resources, capabilities and product offerings that are superior to the Company’s by virtue of size alone. As a result of this competition, the Company may be unable to maintain their operations or develop them as currently proposed, on terms the Company considers acceptable, or at all.

There are currently hundreds of applications for cannabis licenses being processed across a number of states. The number of licenses granted and the number ultimately authorized by each state could have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to compete in the medical cannabis and adult-use cannabis industry. The Company expects to face additional competition from new market entrants that are granted licenses or existing license holders that are not yet active in the industry in the states in which the Company currently operates or plans to operate. If a significant number of new licenses are granted in any given market which the Company participate in, the Company may experience increased competition and may experience downward price pressure on the Company’s medical cannabis products as new entrants increase production.

If the number of users of cannabis for medical and/or adult-use purposes increases, the demand for products will increase. This could result in the competition in the cannabis industry becoming more intense as current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing number of diversified cannabis products. Conversely, if there is a contraction in the medical market for cannabis, resulting from the legalization of adult-use cannabis or otherwise, competition for market share may increase.

14

The Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims. 

The Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the sale of the Company’s products would involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of the Company’s products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. The Company may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that the Company’s products caused injury or illness or death, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect the Company’s reputation with its clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of the Company’s potential products.

The Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product recalls.  

Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the Company’s products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, the Company could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. The Company may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Although the Company has detailed procedures in place for testing its products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of the Company’s significant brands were subject to recall, the image of that brand and the Company could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for the Company’s products and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the Company’s operations by the FDA, or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

The Company’s business may be negatively impacted by environmental factors, including unfavorable weather patterns and pesticide contamination.

Cannabis cultivation is an extensive, complicated and delicate process, and a successful harvest is reliant on myriad factors including, but not limited to, lighting, fertilization, technique, sunlight, temperature and proper application of pesticides. Variance in any one of these factors may result in a tainted or destroyed harvest that will be unfit for distribution. Further, pesticide contamination may prompt recall and public-safety alerts, and any contamination detected may also result in product removal from retail dispensaries.

The Company’s business may be negatively impacted by current and future environmental regulations. 

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors (or the equivalent thereof) and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future, be required in connection with the Company’s operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from its proposed production of marijuana or from proceeding with the development of its operations as currently proposed.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. The Company may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

15

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the production of medical marijuana, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production or require abandonment or delays in development.

The Company’s business may be negatively impacted by currently unknown environmental risks.

There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter hazardous conditions at the site of the real estate used to operate its businesses, such as asbestos or lead, in excess of expectations that may delay the development of its businesses. Upon encountering a hazardous condition, work at the facilities of the Company may be suspended. If the Company receives notice of a hazardous condition, it may be required to correct the condition prior to continuing construction. The presence of other hazardous conditions will likely delay construction and may require significant expenditure of the Company’s resources to correct the condition. Such conditions could have a material impact on the investment returns of the Company.

The Company relies heavily on the management team and could be negatively impacted by a loss of service of key members.

A risk associated with the production and sale of adult-use cannabis is the loss of important staff members. Success of the Company will be dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of its senior management and key personnel. While employment agreements are customarily used as a primary method of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements cannot assure the continued services of such employees. Any loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.

The Company relies heavily on the key inputs, suppliers and employees and could be negatively impacted by a loss of these relationships. 

The cannabis business is dependent on a number of key inputs and their related costs including raw materials and supplies related to growing operations, as well as electricity, water and other local utilities. Any significant interruption or negative change in the availability, quality or economics of the supply chain for key inputs could materially impact the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company. Some of these inputs may only be available from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. If a sole source supplier was to go out of business, the Company might be unable to find a replacement for such source in a timely manner or at all. If a sole source supplier were to be acquired by a competitor, that competitor may elect not to sell to the Company in the future. Any inability to secure required supplies and services or to do so on appropriate terms could have a materially adverse impact on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company.

The ability of the Company to compete and grow will be dependent on it having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in maintaining its required supply of skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. This could have an adverse effect on the financial results of the Company.

The Company’s access to affordable skilled labor may be impeded by the existence of unionization or other collective bargaining efforts among the Company’s employees or independent contractors. The Company may also be legally required to participate in or facilitate such unionization or collective bargaining efforts within certain jurisdictions, which could limit the Company’s access to affordable skilled labor and have a materially adverse impact on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company. The Company does not believe its employees currently anticipate seeking unionization and believes its relationship with its employees is satisfactory.

As the Company is a cultivator, producer and provisioner of cannabis, it will largely depend on third party retailers to resell its cannabis and related products to end-user consumers. These retailers could tamper with the Company’s products or otherwise ignore its quality standards, which could harm the end-user customers, with whom the Company has no contact. Any changes in the Company’s retailer customer’s business or fortunes could disrupt the Company’s ability to sell its products at volume. Any such changes or other unrelated production issues could also disrupt the Company’s business due to delays in finding new retailers.

Furthermore, the Company cannot provide assurance that its internal controls and compliance systems will always protect it from acts committed by its employees, agents or business partners in violation of federal or state laws. Any improper acts or allegations could damage the Company’s reputation and subject it to civil or criminal investigations and related stockholder lawsuits, could lead to substantial civil and criminal monetary and non-monetary penalties, and could cause the Company to incur significant legal and investigatory fees.

16

The Company relies heavily on third parties and could be negatively impacted by a loss of these relationships. 

The cannabis business is dependent on a number of third parties, including various service providers, distributors and retailers. Some of the services and market access provided by such third parties may only be available from a single third party or a limited group of third parties. If the only provider of a service or access to a market were to go out of business or cease doing business with the Company, the Company might be unable to find a replacement for such service or market access in a timely manner or at all. If the only provider of a service or access to a market were to be acquired by a competitor, that competitor may elect not to provide services or market access to the Company in the future. Further, due to the uncertain regulatory landscape for regulating cannabis in U.S., the Company’s third-party suppliers, manufacturers and contractors may elect, at any time, to decline or withdraw services necessary for the Company’s operations. There is also a risk that a regulatory body could impose certain restrictions on such third party’s ability to operate in the United States. Any significant interruption or negative change in the Company’s business relations with such third parties could materially impact the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company.

The Company maintains what it believes to be adequate insurance coverages across its business, though there is a risk that the Company could be negatively impacted by unknown risks associated with being uninsured or underinsured.

The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, accidents, labor disputes and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to assets, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in operations, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although the Company intends to continue to maintain insurance to protect against risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. Moreover, there are exclusions and additional difficulties and complexities associated with certain insurance coverages due to the Company’s involvement in the cannabis industry. The Company may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability.

Insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards encountered in the operations of the Company is not generally available on acceptable terms. The Company’s access to adequate and affordable insurance is significantly limited by the nature of the Company’s business, which may prevent it from purchasing adequate and affordable insurance coverage. The Company might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which may not be insured against or which the Company may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.

The Company utilizes proprietary forecasting models, though the limited operating history of the Company and industry as a whole may make the models unreliable.

The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the adult-use cannabis industry in the states in which the Company’s business will operate. Federal and state laws prevent widespread participation and hinder market research. As a result, the market data available is limited and unreliable. Market research and projections by the Company of estimated total retail sales, demographics, demand, and similar consumer research are based on assumptions from limited and unreliable market data, and generally represent the personal opinions of the Company’s management team as of the date they are made. A failure in the demand for its products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

The Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to various litigation risks that could have an adverse impact on its planned future operations.

The Company may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect its business. Should any litigation in which the Company becomes involved be determined against the Company such a decision could adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operating and the market price for the Company’s securities and could use significant resources. Even if the Company is involved in litigation and wins, litigation can redirect significant resources of the Company and/or the Company’s management.

17

As the legalization of cannabis for the medical and/or adult-use is a highly controversial issue, the Company may be subject to litigation prior to, or after, passage of legislation and/or a constitutional amendment legalizing cannabis for certain uses. In addition, although the Company itself may not be directly named in a civil action, any litigation involving any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliated entities could negatively affect the Company’s profits and impact its ability to conduct business operations as planned. Such litigation could have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

Risks Related to the Company’s Franchise Model

The franchise business model presents a number of risks.

The Company’s success will rely to a large degree on the financial success and cooperation of their franchisees, including their pre-franchise clients and affiliates. The Company’s revenues arise from two sources: fees from franchised dispensaries and pre-franchise clients and sales from company-owned dispensaries that the Company owns and may own in the future. The Company’s franchisees manage their businesses independently, and therefore are responsible for the day-to-day operation of their dispensaries. The revenues the Company realizes from franchised dispensaries are largely dependent on the ability of the Company’s franchisees to grow their sales. Business risks affecting the Company’s operations also affect their franchisees. If the Company’s franchisees do not experience sales growth, the Company’s revenues and margins could be negatively affected as a result. Also, if sales trends worsen for franchisees, their financial results may deteriorate, which could result in, among other things, closures, or delayed or reduced payments to the Company.

The Company believes they are one of the first in the U.S. cannabis industry to offer dispensary franchises as they build their brand. There is, therefore, to the Company’s knowledge no record of any national company achieving success or profitability by offering franchised cannabis dispensaries under consistent branding in the United States.

The Company’s franchisees could take actions that could harm the Company’s business.

The Company’s franchisees are contractually obligated to operate their dispensaries in accordance with state cannabis laws and the operations, safety, and health standards set forth in the Company’s agreements with them. However, franchisees are independent third parties which the Company does not control. The franchisees own, operate, and oversee the daily operations of their dispensaries and have sole control over all employee and other workforce decisions. As a result, the ultimate success and quality of any franchised dispensary rests with the franchisee. If franchisees do not successfully operate dispensaries in a manner consistent with required standards, franchise fees paid to the Company will be adversely affected and brand image and reputation could be harmed, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and operating results.

The Company’s operating performance could also be negatively affected if the Company’s franchisees experience operational problems or project an image inconsistent with the Company’s brand and values, particularly if the Company’s contractual and other rights and remedies are limited, costly to exercise or subjected to litigation and potential delays.

The Company may face regulatory hurdles seeking to sell franchises in certain states.

The sale of franchises is regulated by various state laws, as well as by the FTC. The FTC requires that franchisors make extensive disclosure to prospective franchisees but does not require registration. A number of states require registration or disclosure by franchisors in connection with franchise offers and sales. Several states also have "franchise relationship laws" or "business opportunity laws" that limit the ability of the franchisor to terminate franchise agreements or to withhold consent to the renewal or transfer of these agreements. The states with relationship or other statutes governing the termination of franchises include Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. Some franchise relationship statutes require a mandated notice period for termination; some require a notice and cure period; and some require that the franchisor demonstrate good cause for termination. Although the Company believes that their franchise agreements comply with these statutory requirements, failure to comply with these laws could result in the Company incurring civil liability. In addition, the Company cannot predict the effect of any future federal or state legislation or regulation.

18

States may not be willing to allow the Company to offer franchises because of the federally illegal status of cannabis. States, such as California, also could require that the Company become a party to their franchisees’ cannabis dispensary license. If this occurs, the Company may be limited in the number of franchises they sell in a particular state, municipality or local jurisdiction, the Company’s costs of compliance would likely be increased, and the Company’s ability to remediate a default by a franchisee may be limited, which may have material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Their marketing activities for franchises may not be successful.

The Company invests resources in advertising and other marketing activities to maintain, extend and expand the Company’s brand image. There can be no assurance that the Company’s marketing strategies will be effective or that the amount the Company invests in advertising activities will result in a corresponding increase in sales of the Company’s franchises. If the Company’s marketing initiatives are not successful, the Company will have incurred significant expenses without the benefit of higher revenues. 

Risks Associated with the Company’s Capital Stock

Sales of substantial amounts of a particular class of securities may have an adverse effect on the market price of such securities. 

Sales of substantial amounts of a particular class of securities of the Company, or the availability of such securities for sale, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for such class of securities. A decline in the market prices of a particular class of the Company’s securities could impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should it desire to do so.

The Company’s stock has historically experienced volatile market pricing.

The market price for the Company’s securities may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control. Financial markets have at times experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Company’s securities may decline even if the Company’s operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company’s operations could be adversely impacted, and the trading price of the Company’s securities may be materially adversely affected.

The Company’s ability to manage debt service is dependent on its cash flows.

An economic downturn may negatively impact the Company’s cash flows. Credit and capital markets can be volatile, which could make it more difficult for the Company to obtain additional debt or equity financings in the future. Such constraints could increase the Company’s costs of borrowing and could restrict its access to other potential sources of future liquidity. The Company’s failure to have sufficient liquidity to make interest and other payments required by its debt could result in a default of such debt and acceleration of the Company’s borrowings, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. To the extent the Company incurs indebtedness, principal and interest payments on such indebtedness will have to be made when due, regardless of whether sufficient cash flow or income is available. If payments on any debts and obligations are not made when due, it may result in substantial adverse consequences to the Company, including adverse income tax consequences.

19

The Company’s common stock may become subject to the SEC's penny stock rules, which may make it difficult for broker-dealers to complete customer transactions and could adversely affect trading activity in their securities. 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of the Company’s common stock may be less than $5.00 per share for some period of time and therefore would be a "penny stock" according to SEC rules, unless the Company is listed on a national securities exchange. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

• make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;

• receive the purchaser's prior written agreement to the transaction; 

• provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in "penny stocks" and which describe the market for these "penny stocks" as well as a purchaser's legal remedies; and 

• obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a "penny stock" can be completed. 

If required to comply with these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in the Company’s securities may be adversely affected. 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell the Company’s stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy the Company’s Common Stock, which may limit one’s ability to buy and sell the Company’s stock and have an adverse effect on the market for the Company’s shares.

The Company does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of the Company’s stock.

The Company has never paid any cash dividends on any shares of their capital stock, and they do not anticipate that they will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company’s current business plan is to retain any future earnings to finance the expansion of their business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and will be dependent upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors as the Company’s Board of Directors may deem relevant at that time. If the Company does not pay cash dividends, their stock may be less valuable because a return on one’s investment will only occur if the Company’s stock price appreciates.

The market for the Company’s Common Stock may be thinly traded, so one may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if one needs to sell one’s shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate one’s shares.

The Company’s Common Stock has been historically thinly traded on the OTC Markets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing the Company’s shares at or near ask prices at any given time has been relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to several factors, including that the Company is a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stockbrokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community. Even if the Company came to such persons’ attention, those persons tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as the Company or purchase or recommend the purchase of the Company’s shares until they became more seasoned and viable. Consequently, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in the Company’s shares is minimal or non-existent compared to a seasoned issuer, which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on the Company’s share price. The Company cannot assure one that a broader or more active public trading market for the Company’s Common Shares will develop or be sustained or that current trading levels will be maintained.

20

The indemnification provisions in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws under Delaware law may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers, and employees.

The Company’s certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the Company’s directors’ liability for monetary damage to the Company and stockholders. The Company’s bylaws also require them to indemnify their officers and directors. The Company may also have contractual indemnification obligations under their agreements with their directors, officers, and employees. These indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers, and employees that they may not recoup.

Pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, the Company’s certificate of incorporation excludes personal liability for its directors for monetary damage based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, acts in violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right, which a director may have to be indemnified, and does not affect any director’s liability under federal or applicable state securities laws.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to provisions of the State of Delaware, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The Company is classified as a “smaller reporting company” and they cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make their Common Stock less attractive to investors.

The Company is currently a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, smaller reporting companies are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings. Decreased disclosures in the Company’s SEC filings due to their status as a smaller reporting company may make it harder for investors to analyze their results of operations and financial prospects.

Holders of the Company’s Common Stock may face significant restrictions on the resale of the Common Stock due to states’ “blue sky” laws or rules.

The Company intends to offer and sell their securities in this Offering to retail customers in every state in the United States plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 (“NSMIA”), which is a U.S. federal statute, preempts the states from regulating transactions in certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities,” and which include the Units and components thereof offered hereby pursuant to Regulation A. NSMIA nevertheless allows the states to investigate if there is a suspicion of fraud or deceit, or unlawful conduct by a broker or dealer, in connection with the sale of securities. If there is a finding of fraudulent activity, the states can bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. The various states and other jurisdictions can impose fines on the Company or take other regulatory actions against the Company if they fail to comply with their securities laws. Although the Company is taking steps to help ensure that they will conduct all offers and sales in this Offering in compliance with all blue sky laws, there can be no assurance that they will be able to achieve such compliance in all instances, or avoid fines or other regulatory actions if they do not achieve compliance. See “Description of Securities—Resale Restrictions” section in this Offering Circular.

Because the Company became a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means other than a traditional underwritten initial public offering, the Company may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.

21

Because the Company did not become a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering, or IPO, of the Company’s Common Stock, and because the Company is not listed on a national securities exchange, security analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of the Company. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on the Company’s behalf because they may be less familiar with the Company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media, and because the Company became public at an early stage in its development. 

Provisions under Delaware law could make an acquisition of the Company more difficult, limit attempts by their stockholders to replace or remove their current management.

In addition to the Company’s corporate charter and their bylaws, because they are incorporated in Delaware, they are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any holder of at least 15% of their capital stock for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became a 15% stockholder.

The Company currently has outstanding, and they may, in the future, issue instruments which are convertible into shares of Common Stock, which may result in stockholder dilution. 

The Company currently has outstanding instruments which are convertible into shares of Common Stock, and they may need to issue similar instruments in the future. In the event that these convertible instruments are converted into shares of Common Stock, or that the Company makes additional issuances of other convertible or exchangeable securities, stockholders could experience additional dilution. Furthermore, the Company cannot guarantee that they will be able to issue shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors or the then current market price.

Risks Related to This Offering

There is no minimum Offering amount.

Because this is a “best efforts” Offering with no minimum, the Company will have access to any funds tendered upon acceptance of subscriptions. This means that any investment made could be the only investment in this Offering, leaving the Company without adequate capital to pursue its business plan or even to cover the expenses of this Offering.

The Company does not have a minimum capitalization, and they may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following their acceptance of the corresponding subscription agreements. The Company does not have any track record for self-underwritten Regulation A offerings and there can be no assurance the Maximum Offering or any other amount will be sold in this Offering. There is no assurance that the Company will raise sufficient capital solely from this Offering to implement their business plan, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless the Company is able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to them, or at all.

The Company may terminate this Offering at any time during the Offering Period.

The Company reserves the right to terminate this Offering at any time, regardless of the number of Units sold. In the event that they terminate this Offering at any time prior to the sale of all of the Units offered hereby, whatever subscriptions the Company has accepted at that time will not be refunded and no funds will be returned to subscribers.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The maximum gross proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Units in this Offering is $42,000,000 (excluding the proceeds from the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants issued in this Offering). The table below sets forth the net proceeds of the Offering using an assumed an Offering Price of $1.375 per Unit, after deducting Offering estimated expenses, including 1% of the total gross proceeds for commissions payable to Dalmore on all the Units being offered, and legal, accounting, printing, marketing, selling and other costs incurred in the Offering. The estimate of the budget for offering costs is an estimate only and the actual offering costs may differ. The Company expects, from time to time, to evaluate the acquisition of businesses and mining assets for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used. The Company does not intend to use the proceeds from this Offering to pay for the pending acquisition pursuant to the APA, as it intends to arrange separate financing for that transaction.

The table below sets forth the net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting Offering estimated expenses if the Company sells 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of the Units in this Offering. The gross proceeds in the table include only the sale of the Units, exclusive of any Warrant exercise. The Company anticipates the use of proceeds in the case of the exercise of Warrants would be similar to the below table, ratably.

As indicated in the table above, if the Company sells only 75%, or 50%, or 25% of the Units offered for sale in this Offering, they expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as they would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the Units, and in approximately the same proportions, until such time as such use of proceeds would leave the Company without working capital reserve. At that point the Company would expect to modify their use of proceeds by limiting our expansion, leaving them with the working capital reserve indicated.

23

The amounts set forth above are the Company’s current estimates for such development activities, and they cannot be certain that actual costs will not vary from these estimates. The Company’s management has significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds received in this Offering and making short-term interest-bearing investments of the proceeds for capital preservation purposes. The Company cannot assure one that their assumptions, expected costs and expenses and estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen events, problems or delays will not occur that would require the Company to seek additional debt and/or equity funding, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. See “Risk Factors” in this Offering Statement for more information regarding the risks associated with an investment in the Company’s securities.

This expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents the Company’s intentions based upon their current financial condition, results of operations, business plans and conditions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this Offering or the amounts that they will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of their actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, the Company’s management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering and reserves the right to change the estimated allocation of net proceeds set forth above.

Although the Company’s business does not presently generate positive cash flow despite its revenues, they believe that if they raise at least 50% of the maximum amount in this Offering, that they will have sufficient capital to finance their operations for at least the next 24 months. However, if the Company does not sell the maximum number of Units offered in this Offering, or if the Company operating and development costs are higher than expected, the Company will need to obtain additional financing prior to that time. Further, the Company expects that during or after such 24-month period, they will be required to raise additional funds to finance their operations until such time that they can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities.

Pending their use of the net proceeds from this Offering, the Company may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including without limitation short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and United States government securities and including investments in related parties. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the investment in strategic partnerships and possibly the acquisition of complementary businesses or mining assets, although the Company has no present commitments or agreements for any specific acquisitions or investments.

DILUTION

At September 30, 2021, an aggregate of 107,074,417 shares of Common Stock issued and 94,774,417 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

If one purchases Units in this Offering, their ownership interest in the Company’s Common Shares will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each Unit in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Shares after this Offering.

The Company’s net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021, was $9,377,532, or $0.10 per share, based on 94,926,678 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Offering Circular. Net tangible book value per share equals the amount of the Company’s total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, all as of the dates specified.

If the Maximum Offering, at an assumed offering price of $1.375 per Common Share underlying each Unit, is sold in this Offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, the pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value at September 30, 2021, would be approximately $46,190,782, or $0.38 per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.28 per share to our existing stockholders as of the date of this Offering Circular, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $0.93 per share to new investors purchasing Units in this Offering at a price of $1.375 per Unit.

24

The following table illustrates the approximate per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Units offered for sale in this Offering, after deducting the Company’s estimated offering expenses:

Dilution
		100%		75%		50%		25%
Gross Proceeds	$	38,500,000	$	28,875,000	$	19,250,000	$	9,625,000
Expenses	$	1,686,750	$	1,301,750	$	916,750	$	531,750
Net Proceeds	$	36,813,250	$	27,573,250	$	18,333,250	$	9,093,250
Offering Price per Common Share	$	1.38	$	1.38	$	1.38	$	1.38
Pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock before the Offering	$	0.10	$	0.10	$	0.10	$	0.10
Increase per share of Common Stock attributable to investors in this Offering	$	1.31	$	1.31	$	1.31	$	1.30
Pro forma net tangible book value per share of Commons Stock after the Offering	$	0.38	$	0.32	$	0.25	$	0.18

The foregoing tables and calculations exclude: (i) 9,072,689 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, of which awards for 5,217,315 are outstanding as of September 30, 2021; (ii) 46,095,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2021: (iii) 1,630,724 shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and related accrued interest as of September 30, 2021 and (iv) the Warrant Shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company is offering up to 28,000,000 Units on a best efforts basis at a fixed price of $1.25-1.50 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one Common Share (the “Warrant”). Only whole Warrants are exercisable. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock (a “Warrant Share”) for $2.00-3.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments, from the date of issuance until the second anniversary of the date of issuance.

The Company is selling their Units through a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A (also known as “Regulation A+”) under the Securities Act and the Company intends to sell the Units either directly to investors or through registered broker-dealers who are paid commissions. The Company expects to commence the sale of the Units within two calendar days of the date on which the Offering Statement, of which this Offering Circular is a part, is qualified by the SEC.

The Company’s directors and officers will not register as broker-dealers under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer.

• the person meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (i) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (ii) is not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and (iii) does not participate in selling and offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act.

The Company’s officers and directors are not statutorily disqualified, are not being compensated, and are not associated with a broker-dealer. They are and will continue to hold their positions as officers or directors following the completion of the offering and have not been during the past twelve (12) months and are currently not brokers or dealers or associated with brokers or dealers. They have not nor will they participate in the sale of securities of any issuer more than once every twelve (12) months.

 The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC, a New York limited liability company and FINRA/SIPC (CRD 136352) registered broker-dealer (“Dalmore”), to perform the following administrative and technology related functions in connection with this Offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services:

• Keep investor details and data confidential and not disclose to any third-party except as required by regulators or pursuant to the terms of the agreement (e.g. as needed for AML and background checks).

As compensation for the services listed above, the Company has agreed to pay Dalmore a sales commission of 1% of the gross proceeds of sales of Units,and $25,000 in one-time set up fees, consisting of the following:

• $10,000 advance payment for due diligence fees.

• $15,000 consulting fee due and payable immediately after FINRA issues a no objection letter.

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has not entered into any arrangements with any selling agents other than Dalmore to act of the broker/dealer of record, for the sale of the securities hereunder; however, they may engage one or more additional selling agents to sell the securities in the future and have no exclusive arrangement with Dalmore with respect to sales of the Units. If the Company elects to do so, they will file a supplement to this Offering Circular to identify them. 

26

No Escrow

The proceeds of this Offering will not be placed into an escrow account.

BUSINESS

Overview

Item 9 Labs Corp. is a holding company, investing in cannabis and cannabis-related businesses. Its subsidiaries compete in three different market segments: (1) producing cannabis and cannabis-derived products and technologies through its Item 9 Labs brand, which is currently distributed throughout the State of Arizona in licensed medical and adult-use dispensaries; (2) sell medical and adult-use cannabis dispensary franchises under its franchise brand “Unity Rd.”; and (3) operates or will operate medical and adult-use cannabis dispensaries under its retail franchise “Unity Rd.”

Mission and Vision

Item 9 Labs Corp. believes it is leading a new generation of public cannabis companies. The Company seeks to elevate trust in cannabis through modernized Unity Rd. retail franchises, premium Item 9 Labs cannabis products and ongoing education to communities nationwide—with a goal to inspire confidence in the benefits of cannabis for all.

As local retail competition rises, the Company believes franchising is the vehicle that will empower independently-owned dispensary owners to thrive due to the ongoing guidance, resources and purchasing power, among other benefits, from the franchisor.

The Company believes that blending a premium, experiential cannabis brand with a true dispensary franchise model puts Item 9 Labs Corp. in a unique industry position. This combination creates a capital-efficient method for national brand expansion. By focusing and clustering operations, the Company anticipates the Item 9 Labs and Unity Rd. brands will result in a network effect to more efficiently enter new markets.

Item 9 Labs Cannabis Products

The Company produces high-quality products and user experiences across several cannabis categories under its “Item 9 Labs” product brand. The product catalogue exceeds seventy-five (75) active cannabis strains and more than one hundred fifty (150) differentiated cannabis vaporizer (“vape”) products as well as premium concentrates and Orion vape technologies. The brand is well known in the Arizona market, having received thirteen (13) first place accolades and nine (9) additional podium placements in Arizona marijuana competitions—Cannabis Cup, Errl Cup and 710 Degree Cup—for its high quality, premium flower, concentrates and vape products.

Item 9 Labs is headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, with current cannabis operations in Arizona and planned operations in multiple U.S. markets.

Unity Rd. Dispensary Franchise

The Company sells medical and adult-use cannabis dispensary franchises under its retail brand “Unity Rd.” The franchising business offers existing and potential operators in the cannabis industry the benefit of the Company’s operational experience, marketing, partnerships, branding and ongoing guidance, while allowing them to own 100% of their dispensary license and business. To date, the franchise has agreements with nearly twenty (20) partners to open more than thirty-five (35) Unity Rd. retail dispensary locations in eight (8) states. Several of these agreements require conversion into franchise agreements upon issuance of the dispensary licenses, which has not yet occurred with respect to several of these partners. Subject to local franchise regulations, the Company intends to offer franchises in all states that have regulated medical or adult-use cannabis. They also intend to expand into international markets that have legalized cannabis for medical or adult-use.

31

The Company believes that its franchise model enables it to expand its brands more quickly than existing multi-state cannabis operators, or MSOs, across all cannabis markets with less capital investment from the Company than traditional MSOs. The Company believes they are one of the first U.S. companies to offer franchise opportunities to participants in the cannabis industry, which provides them an early mover advantage over newer franchisors or existing MSOs. The franchise program is intended to guide their franchisees in building industry experience, improving operational quality, innovating and maximizing operating results. Like a traditional franchise concept, their franchisees will assume much of the day-to-day responsibilities that otherwise would be performed by a typical owner-operator. This reduction of duties at the corporate level allows the Company’s franchise support team to scale across multiple units. Franchisees provide the Company a one-time upfront payment as well as ongoing royalties based on their revenues. Therefore, they will benefit directly from the growth in their business.

The Company believes their business model will assist their franchisees in delivering high-quality cannabis products, comfortable in-store customer experiences and a strong, trusting relationship with their local communities. Franchising enables an individual to be his or her own employer and maintain control over all employment-related matters, and marketing and pricing decisions, while also benefiting from the Company’s brand and operating system. While the Company intends for units operating under their brand to be primarily franchised, they also own and operate cannabis dispensaries and production facilities, which have generated a majority of their revenue to date.

The Company believes their current company-owned cannabis operations and potential future acquisitions will assist in product sourcing for their franchisees. One of the strengths of the franchising model is that the expertise from operating cannabis dispensaries allows the Company to improve the operations and success of all franchisees while suggested innovations from franchisees can be tested and, when viable, efficiently implemented to help improve corporate- and franchisee-owned businesses. Having company-owned and operated dispensaries also provides their personnel and those of their franchisees with a venue for training. In addition, in their company-owned and operated dispensaries, the Company plans to further develop and refine operating standards, marketing concepts and product and pricing strategies that theye believe will ultimately benefit all of their franchisees. They also may sell company-owned dispensaries to franchisees at times where the Company believes it is attractive to do so.

The Company’s franchising business model is designed to assist franchisees through every step of owning and operating a dispensary. Their franchise package includes product sourcing, technology, regulatory compliance, licensing, standard operating procedures, employee training and ongoing support. They intend for their franchisees to leverage their decades of cannabis operating experience and standardized procedures to operate their own dispensaries and be part of their brand as it grows.

They also recently launched a social equity and economic development (SEED) program, pursuant to which the Company would provide services to applicants in various states. Social equity programs run by state and local governments are generally designed to address the impacts of past cannabis policies and their inequities by developing and implementing cannabis policies that seek to provide equitable ownership and employment opportunities in the cannabis industry. The Company’s SEED program is intended to be consistent with these policies, but is also designed to help expand their brand and bring revenue to them through management fees and other services.

Item 9 Labs Corp.’s asset portfolio also includes Dispensary Permits (“DP”) and Dispensary Templates (“DT”). These assets provide services specific to different stakeholder groups. DP is the Company’s consulting firm specializing in strategic license application and compliance. DT, a subdivision of the firm, is a technology platform with an extensive digital library of licensing and business planning resources. DP and DT are supportive in nature, providing lead generation activities for Unity Rd. To date DP and DT have generated only minimal revenues but have helped facilitate at least two partners joining the Unity Rd. franchise system.

32

Unity Rd. Corporate-Owned Stores

Though it is not the intent of Item 9 Labs Corp. to have significant Company-owned operating dispensaries, they intend to own dispensaries in key markets to operate for profit, serve as models for Unity Rd. franchisees, and provide training grounds for franchisees and their management teams. Additionally, the Company’s immediate expansion plans call for acquiring currently operating dispensaries for short periods of time. Upon acquiring licensed dispensaries, the Company will seek to re-brand them to Unity Rd., implement their standard operating procedures, then divest the dispensaries to Unity Rd. franchisees and re-invest the capital into the acquisition of additional dispensaries.

Brand Synergies

The Company intends for Unity Rd. to be the platform  to bring Item 9 Labs products across the United States and internationally, while keeping dispensaries locally owned and operated, empowering entrepreneurs to operate their business and contribute to their local communities. As the Unity Rd. dispensary brand achieves sufficient market penetration, the Company aims to offer Item 9 Labs products in those locations to expand the distribution footprint of their premium product offerings. 

Corporate Structure

The following chart illustrates, as of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, including their respective jurisdictions of incorporation. Unless otherwise noted below, the percentage of voting securities of each that are beneficially owned, controlled or directed by the Company is 100%.

On April 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to Item 9 Labs Corp. to better reflect its business following the acquisition of BSSD, as discussed below. The Company’s fiscal year end is September 30^th.

On March 20, 2018, the Company closed on an Agreement and Plan of Exchange to acquire all of the membership interests of BSSD Group, LLC (“BSSD”), an Arizona limited liability company formed on May 2, 2017, in exchange for 40,355,771 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

On November 26, 2018, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary AZ DP Holdings, LLC (“AZ DP”) closed on an asset acquisition of the majority of the assets of Arizona DP Consulting, LLC, a consulting firm specializing in obtaining cannabis dispensary permits and developing cannabis-related business plans. The purchase price was $1,500,000 in cash and 3,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock having an aggregate value of $7,770,000 or $2.59 per share based on current market price of the Company shares at time asset purchase agreement was executed.

35

Strive Management, LLC

On September 12, 2018, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 and executed a promissory note in that amount, which funds were used to make a capital contribution into Strive Management, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Strive Management”). In exchange for the contribution, the Company received a 20% membership interest in Strive Management. The remaining interests were held by three individuals, Sara Gullickson, Larry Lemons, and Donnie Burton. Through a management agreement with Strive Wellness of Nevada, LLC, a related party, Strive Management will facilitate the cultivation and processing of cannabis in Nevada. Strive Wellness of Nevada, LLC has been allocated cultivation and processing licenses from the State of Nevada. Additionally, the Company could acquire an additional 31% ownership of Strive Management upon the approval from the State of Nevada to operate the cultivation and processing facility. In February 2020, the Company executed an agreement with the other members of Strive Management, LLC to purchase the remaining 80% of Strive Management, LLC (“Strive”), as well as the Nevada licenses its members held in another entity. The Company agreed to pay $500,000 in cash, $1,000,000 in an unsecured note payable and 3,250,000 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock and to issue 2,000,000 warrants exercisable into the Company’s Common Stock.   

OCG, Inc. (Unity Rd.)

 In March 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition of OCG, Inc., dba Unity Rd., a cannabis dispensary franchisor. The transaction was structured as a reverse triangular merger, with the effect of OCG, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Unity Rd. has agreements with nearly twenty (20) entrepreneurial groups to open more than thirty-five (35) Unity Rd. retail dispensary locations in fourteen (14) states, once licensing approval is obtained.

Unity Rd. intends to be the vehicle to bring Item 9 Labs products across the United States and internationally, while keeping dispensaries locally owned and operated, empowering entrepreneurs tooperate their business and contribute to their local communities. As the Unity Rd. dispensary brand achieves sufficient market penetration, the Company aims to offer Item 9 Labs products in those locations to expand the distribution footprint of its premium product offerings.

In June 2021, the first Unity Rd. franchisee location opened in Boulder, Colorado.

Cultivation Expansion

The Company’s Arizona cannabis operations expanded in recent years as well, with the addition of a 2^nd nearly 10,000 square foot facility in the 4^th quarter of fiscal year 2019, more than doubling the Company’s cultivation and processing space for Arizona. As the Company methodically expanded its operational capacity by more than 100% in fiscal year 2020, it was also able to significantly increase efficiencies within the cultivation and processing operations.

The Arizona expansion has continued in fiscal year 2021 and is expected to continue thereafter. The Company hastripled production since October 1, 2020, and is continuing to increase production for the remainder of this fiscal year, while beginning construction on phase 1 of its construction plan to build additional cultivation space. Phase 1 plans total over 60,000 square feet of additional cultivation and processing space, and the planned remaining five phases would add over 560,000 square feet of cultivation and processing space. By the conclusion of their master site development, the Company anticipates a total of more than 640,000 square feet of cultivation and processing space; there is no assurance the Company can complete these construction projects as planned.

Item 9 Labs Corp. continued its expansion plans into other states during fiscal year 2020 as well as the Company acquired (pending regulatory approval) cultivation and processing licenses in Nye County, Nevada which will be paired with their Nevada facility. In fiscal 2019, the Company broke ground on their 20,000 square foot cultivation and processing facility in Nevada. The facility is now approximately 70% complete. Construction recommenced after a pause due to Covid-19 in August 2021. The Company aims to commence operations in Nevada in fiscal year 2022.

Adams County, CO Dispensary Acquisition

On October 6, 2021, the Company entered into an APA to acquire an existing dispensary license and storefront from Nebrina Adams County LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Seller”) in Adams County, CO. The total purchase price is two million dollars ($2,000,000), as to which one million dollars ($1,000,000) will be paid to an escrow account upon conditional approvals of the change of ownership from state and local licensing authorities concerning the transfer of ownership. At closing, that amount will be released to the Seller along with an 18-month promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 and the balance payable in 300,000 shares of Company common stock. For additional terms of the APA, please see the Company’s filing on Form 8-K filed on October 7, 2021. The Company intends to obtain financing to consummate this transaction and does not intend to utilize the proceeds of the Offering therefor. There can be no assurance that the Company can consummate this transaction. The dispensary license has never been operational so there are no historical financial statements to present.

If completed, this will be the first corporate-owned shop under its cannabis dispensary franchise brand, Unity Rd., and is anticipated to open in early 2022. Currently, the Company is awaiting regulatory approval by Colorado's MED. This APA is part of an overarching acquisition strategy that is intended to accelerate national expansion by creating turnkey investment opportunities for Unity Rd. franchisees. The Company plans to convert acquired dispensaries into Unity Rd. shops, operate them internally and sell them to an existing or future franchise partner. This offers an expedited solution for entrepreneurs seeking immediate entry into cannabis. The Company is targeting numerous, similar transactions in the next 12 months to gain a deeper market penetration in select markets. Subsequently and/or concurrently, the Company plans to introduce the Item 9 Labs suite of products to the same markets through the acquisition of cultivation and production licenses or through joint ventures with qualified local, licensed operators.

The Company’s Products and Services

Item 9 Labs Corp. is focused on the development of technology and products that administer high-quality cannabis through novel and proprietary delivery devices. The Company is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.

Currently, Item 9 Labs Corp. operates on its 49-acre cultivation site in Coolidge, Arizona, with 20,000 square feet currently operational. In November 2020, the Company was approved to expand the site. The initial phase of expansion began on November 15, 2021 and adds more than 60,000 square feet of operations space with the addition of two 18,000 square foot greenhouses, one head house (green house support building), and two 9,600 square-foot buildings – one for indoor cultivation and one for the lab and packaging. As part of its growth strategy, the Company is in the process of opening additional cultivation and extraction locations, with its expansion to Nevada near completion, with operations projected to commence in the first quarter of 2022.

Item 9 Labs Corp. produces premium cannabis and cannabis-related products in a rapidly growing market. The Company currently offers hundreds of Item 9 Labs products that they group into the following categories: flower; concentrates; distillates and hardware. The Company expects their product offerings to continue to grow as they develop new products to meet the needs of the end users. The Company makes their products available to consumers through licensed dispensaries in Arizona and intends to offer them to be sold through their Unity Rd. franchisees’ dispensaries as the franchise brand saturates markets. Item 9 Labs products can be found in more than 60% of Arizona’s dispensaries. The following is a summary of the Company’s product line:

• Item 9 Labs Flower: The Company offers a variety of strains to assist consumers and patients with particular needs or ailments. Some of their most recognized strains are Candyland, Tres Leches and Jack-Herer. In May 2021, the Company introduced pre-rolled joints made from house-grown flower and ultra-thin, unrefined French paper, available as seven half-gram pre-rolls.

38

• Item 9 Labs Concentrates: The Company offers a variety of cannabis concentrates including shatter, crumble, badder, THCA, live resin terpene sauce and broad-spectrum distillate cartridges.

• Orion 710: The Company believes that its Orion 710, a technological advancement from the previous Apollo 710 system, revolutionizes the cannabis vape market with its clean, modern design and accurately-dosed delivery. It has a sleek, compact look and a streamlined design that makes it easy to fit in the palm of one’s hand. With three distinct temperature settings and a ceramic heating element, the Company believes the Orion 710 provides a longer, smoother and more effortless hit than other cannabis vaporizers.

The Company’s Franchise Offerings

Fees

As a cannabis dispensary franchisor, the Company offers both single-unit and multi-unit franchise packages to potential business operators. The Company seeks to sell primarily multi-unit packages in regulated markets across the U.S. to well capitalized individuals and organizations that meet their franchisee requirements. The primary franchise fees include an initial franchise fee and ongoing fees based on a percentage of revenues of the franchisee. A summary of all their current fees is provided below:

Initial Franchise Fees

Number of Franchises	Initial Franchise Fee Per Unit
1-2	$100,000
3 or more	$83,333

Recurring Fees

Fee Type	Fee Amount	Payment Frequency
Support Fee	5% of Gross Revenues	Weekly
Marketing Fund Contribution	2% of Gross Revenues	Weekly

The initial fee and the support fee are intended to generate revenue for the Company and to support their efforts to provide services to their franchisees. In their franchise agreements they are required to segregate the marketing fund contributions and use those funds to advertise locally, regionally, and/or nationally, in printed materials, on radio, on television, and/or on the Internet in support of their franchisees and their brand. The actual fee arrangements are subject to negotiation undertaken by their management.

39

Services and Support

The Company’s franchise operations cover a wide scope of services to provide value to their franchisees. For new entrants to the cannabis industry, they have an application writing and support team well-versed in the cannabis licensing process for different cities and states across the country. They work with their franchisees’ advisors and facilitate relationships to help franchisees in obtaining a license. The Company’s franchisee prospects also may choose to acquire existing operators rather than new unlicensed locations. The Company also has a mergers and acquisitions team with experience in valuing and finding acquisition candidates. Alongside their industry relationships, they work with a variety of business brokers and bankers to help franchisees find existing businesses.

In addition to third-party acquisitions, they plan to provide refranchising opportunities when appropriate. These refranchise opportunities will allow the Company to sell a corporate owned asset to a franchisee and deploy the capital to allow them to continue to grow. Whether buying or building, they assist franchisees in selecting real estate in optimal areas that suit the zoning restrictions and limitations for cannabis dispensaries. The Company is also seeking to partner with real estate investors to provide real estate capital and leasing to their franchisees. During the building and/or retrofit stage of a franchisee’s dispensary, they intend to utilize their long-standing relationships with architects and contractors who have experience working with cannabis industry participants.

The Company also plans to provide franchisees with strategic sourcing and partnerships through their preferred suppliers in various locations. The Company plans to utilize existing relationships to assist franchisee product purchasing at more competitive pricing than if they were operating as a non-franchised dispensary.

Additionally, the Company will work with franchisees to develop and execute a plan with respect to various marketing programs, including the grand opening of each franchise location, local advertising and cooperative marketing to support their franchisees in establishing and growing their business. The Company believes their franchisees will receive the benefit of scale as their brand grows and the marketing pool and locations develop alongside them.

Prior to a franchisee beginning operations, the Company plans to provide a classroom training program that will last approximately 45 hours. Their staff is well versed in cannabis dispensary operational procedures and with training new employees and managers. Additionally, franchisee dispensary managers will be required to travel to their designated training facility in Denver, Colorado, or to one of the Company’s affiliate locations for hands-on training at least 60 days prior to franchisee dispensary operations commencing.

Pre-Franchise Service Agreements

For prospective franchisees that have not yet obtained a license, the Company enters into service agreements that require conversion into franchise agreements upon issuance of the licenses. In connection with these agreements, they assist the prospective franchisees with site selection, license procurement, dispensary design and other pre-operational services. Upon signing of the service agreement, the prospective franchisee typically pays the Company an amount that is credited towards one’s initial franchise fee in consideration for the services to be provided prior to obtaining the license. The Company believes these service agreements allow them to assist their prospective franchisees in obtaining licenses while it also provides them a binding commitment from the prospective franchisee to enter into a franchise agreement upon issuance of a license.

Company-Owned Cannabis Facilities

In addition to their franchised operations, the Company plans to expand through applying for or acquiring additional licenses to operate cannabis facilities and acquiring existing cannabis operators. They believe their current company-owned cannabis operations and potential future acquisitions will contribute to their revenue and asset base. One of the strengths of the franchising model is that the expertise from operating cannabis dispensaries allows the Company to improve the operations and success of all franchisees while innovations from franchisees can be tested and, when viable, efficiently implemented to help the Company and their franchisees. Having company-owned and operated dispensaries also provides their personnel and those of their franchisees with a venue for training. In addition, in their company-owned and operated dispensaries they plan to further develop and refine operating standards, marketing concepts and product and pricing strategies that they believe will ultimately benefit all of their franchisees.

40

Additionally, the Company plans to target “flagship locations” in new states to establish their retail brand. These locations would be retail dispensaries that they would use for touring potential franchisees and creating a presence in a new market. The Company also has a proven operations team in managing retail dispensaries and believes there are accretive acquisition opportunities for experienced operators.

  The Company’s targeted cannabis facilities include:

Dispensaries: Retail facilities that sell various cannabis products in both medical and adult-use markets to end consumers or medical patients.

Cultivation: Facilities for the cultivation of medical and/or adult-use cannabis flower.

Processing: Facilities for the manufacturing and/or processing of medical and/or adult-use cannabis products.

Packaging: Facilities or equipment that provide compliant and branded packaging for cannabis products delivered to franchisee- and company-owned dispensaries.

As the cannabis industry continues to evolve and innovate, the Company’s management team may target additional cannabis operations.

Social Equity and Economic Development (SEED) Program

The Company recently launched their SEED program, pursuant to which they would provide services to applicants in various states. Social equity programs run by state and local governments are generally designed to address the impacts of past cannabis policies and their inequities by developing and implementing cannabis policies that seek to provide equitable ownership and employment opportunities in the cannabis industry. The Company’s SEED program is intended to be consistent with these policies, but is also designed to help expand the franchise brand and bring revenue to the Company through recurring fees and other services.

While their SEED program is still developing [and they have not yet signed potential clients], they currently intend for the SEED Program to assist individuals or entities that qualify as social equity applicants under state or local programs. The Company plans to assist these clients in licensing, site selection and dispensary design and, ultimately, the operation of the dispensary utilizing the Unity Rd. brand.

Growth Objectives and National Expansion Plans for 2022-2023

The Company’s mission is to elevate trust in cannabis through a consistent, premium product offering; comfortable, modern cannabis dispensaries; and ongoing education to their communities nationwide. They seek to inspire customers, entrepreneurs, investors and the general community alike to confidently embrace the benefits cannabis offers. They will accomplish this through the acquisition of numerous medical and adult-use cannabis business licenses and existing businesses located throughout the United States. The Company’s goal is to acquire several dispensaries as well as acquire or develop complementary product brands, and hold several licenses by the end of 2023, including through the provision of management services over joint ventures for outstanding license applications.

Employees and Independent Contractors

As of January 28, 2022 the Company had 105 full-time employees, including their executive officers, and two part-time employees. The Company plans to hire additional employees and engage consultants on an as-needed basis. They also have relationships with several independent contractors who provide services to them on a regular basis.

41

Research and Development

Going forward, the Company intends to continue focusing resources on research and development. Allocation of research and development funds may be dependent on the perceived likelihood of legalization or a significant change in the treatment of cannabis in a given geographic market. Funds may also be used for both product and market development in the hemp and cannabis industries. Given the emergent nature of these industries, they recognize the needs of today may not be the needs of the future and some capital investment will be necessary to meet changing demands.

Intellectual Property

The Company generally relies upon copyright, trademark and trade secret laws to protect and maintain their proprietary rights for their technology, brands, and products.  The Company currently holds several trademarks including various goods and services of “Item 9 Labs” (serial numbers 87940264, 87940227, 87940254 and 87940239), “Delta 8” (serial numbers 88004775, 88004789, 88004799, 88004812) and Strive Life (88/144,717), as well as several Internet domains including arizonadispensarypermits.com, dispernsarytemplates.com and wegrowstore.com.

The Company maintains a policy requiring their employees, consultants and other third parties to enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements and to control access to software, documentation and other proprietary information. 

Notwithstanding the steps they have taken to protect their intellectual property rights, third parties may infringe or misappropriate their proprietary rights. Competitors may also independently develop products and models that are substantially equivalent or superior to their products and services.

Competition

The Company competes in markets where cannabis has been legalized and regulated. The Company expects that the quantity and composition of their competitive environment will continue to evolve as the industry matures. Additionally, increased competition is possible to the extent that new states and geographies enter the marketplace as a result of continued enactment of regulatory and legislative changes that de-criminalize and regulate cannabis products. The Company believes that by diligently establishing and expanding their brands, product offerings and services in new and existing locations, they will continue to grow in this industry. Additionally, the Company expects that establishing their product offerings in new and existing locations will help to mitigate the risk associated with operating in a developing competitive environment. Additionally, the contemporaneous growth of the industry as a whole will result in new customers entering the marketplace, further mitigating the impact of competition on their operations and results.

The Company currently competes with cannabis cultivators, manufacturers and retailers in their local jurisdictions as well as international enterprises, including Harvest Health & Recreation, Curaleaf, Green Thumb Industries and American Cannabis Company, among others. Many of their competitors are substantially larger than the Company and have significantly greater name recognition, sales and marketing, financial, technical, customer support and other resources. These competitors also may have more established distribution channels and stronger relationships with local, long distance and Internet service providers.  

Government Regulation of Cannabis

Cannabis (other than hemp and its derivatives) is currently a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811) (“CSA”) and is, therefore, illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of cannabis has been legalized pursuant to state law, its use, possession or cultivation remains a violation of federal law. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as one that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) defines Schedule I controlled substances as “the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence.” If the federal government decides to enforce the CSA, persons that are charged with distributing, possessing with intent to distribute or growing cannabis could be subject to fines and/or terms of imprisonment, the maximum being life imprisonment and a $50 million fine, even though these persons are in compliance with state law.

42

The Company and their licensed products will also be subject to a number of other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. The Company anticipates that they, along with their vendors, will be required to manufacture their products in accordance with the Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines and will be subject to regulations relating to employee safety, working conditions, protection of the environment and other items. Changes in laws, rules and regulations or the recall of any product by a regulatory authority, could have a material adverse effect on their business and financial condition.

The United States federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Currently, cannabis and cannabidiol (“CBD”) (if it has 0.3 percent THC or more) are classified as Schedule I drugs, which are viewed as highly addictive and having no medical value and is illegal to distribute and use. The United States Federal Drug Administration has not approved the sale of cannabis for any medical application but did approve the CBD-based drug epidiolex, in 2018. Doctors may not prescribe cannabis or CBD (0.3 percent THC or more) for medical use under federal law. In 2010, the United States Veterans Affairs Department clarified that veterans using medicinal cannabis or CBD (0.3 percent THC or more) will not be denied services or other medications that are denied to those using illegal drugs. In December 2018, the federal Agriculture Improvement Act (also known as the Farm Bill of 2018) was approved, federally legalizing hemp and its derivatives, such as CBD that contain less than 0.3% THC.

Currently, forty-seven (47) States and the District of Columbia have laws legalizing cannabis and CBD in some form. In November 2016, California, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada all passed measures legalizing the adult use of cannabis. California’s Prop. 64 measure allows adults age 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of cannabis and grow up to six plants in their homes. Other tax and licensing provisions of the law did not take effect until January 2018. In November 2020, Arizona, Montana, South Dakota and New Jersey all passed measures legalizing the adult use of cannabis, and Mississippi and South Dakota passed measures legalizing the medical use of cannabis. In March 2021, New York State passed a law to legalize adult use of cannabis.

Director Independence

The OTC Market’s OTCQX tier, on which the Company’s Common Stock is quoted, requires that companies have a board of directors that includes at least two Independent Directors (as defined below) and have an Audit Committee a majority of whose members are Independent Directors.

51

The OTCQX defines the following terms:

• “Independent Director” means a Person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other Person having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as a director. The following persons shall not be considered independent: (A) a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company; (B) a director who accepted or has a Family Member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any fiscal year within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than compensation for board or board committee service; compensation paid to a Family Member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of the Company; or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or nondiscretionary compensation; or (C) A director who is the Family Member of a Person who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an executive officer.

• “Family Member” means a Person’s spouse, parents, children and siblings, whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such Person’s home.

• “Person” shall mean any individual, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, corporation, trust, unincorporated organization, or other entity.

According to the OTCQX definition of “Independent Director” (i) Lawrence Taylor and Dr. Eric Kutscher are each an Independent Director and (ii) Messrs. Andrew Bowden, Douglas Bowden, Jeffrey Rassás and Michael Weinberger are not Independent Directors because each is also an executive officer or a relative of an executive officer of the Company.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on their Common Stock. The Company currently intends to retain any future earnings for use in the operation of their business and do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any further determination to pay dividends on their capital stock will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on their financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that their Board of Directors considers relevant.

Warrants

Overview. The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the form of Warrant which is filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the form of Warrant. There is no market for the Company’s Warrants and none is expected to develop.

Exercisability. Only whole Warrants underlying the Units can be exercised. Each whole Warrant issued in this Offering entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price equal to $[2.00 – 3.00] share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, immediately following the issuance of such Warrant and terminating at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), second anniversary after the date of issuance. The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Company, by utilizing the exercise form on the reverse side of the Warrant certificate completing and executing as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Warrants being exercised.

Adjustment. If and whenever the shares of Common Stock of the Company are subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares, or in the event of any payment by the Company of a stock dividend (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course), or in the event that the Company conducts a rights offering to its stockholders, the exercise price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be. Upon any such subdivision, consolidation, payment of a stock dividend or rights offering, the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of a Warrant and the exercise price of the Warrant will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be.

In case of any reclassification of the capital of the Company, or in the case of the merger, reorganization or amalgamation of the Company with, or into any other company or of the sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other company, each Warrant will, after such reclassification of capital, merger, amalgamation or sale, confer the right to purchase that number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the Company resulting from such reclassification, merger, amalgamation, or to which such sale will be made, as the case may be, which the Holder would then hold if the Holder had exercised the Holder’s rights under the Warrant before reclassification of capital, merger, amalgamation or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in the Warrant with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders to the end that the provisions set forth in the Warrant will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of a Warrant.

Fractional Shares. Only whole Warrants may be exercised. Each whole Warrant may only be exercised for a whole number of shares and no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrant, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price or round the fractional share up to the nearest whole number.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without the Company’s consent.

Warrant Agreement. The Warrants, substantially in the form of the Warrant filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular, will be issued in the name of the investor, or its designee(s).

53

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Company’s Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets, their consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of their outstanding Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by their outstanding Common Stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

Rights as a Stockholder. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock or any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Governing Law. The Warrants and the Warrant Agent Agreement are governed by Delaware law.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s certificate of incorporation does not authorize preferred stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws 

The Company is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

• a stockholder who owns 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

• an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

• an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

• the Company’s board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

• after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of the Company’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of Common Stock; or

• on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the Company’s board of directors and authorized at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

The Company’s shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 (“NSMIA”), which is a U.S. federal statute, preempts the states from regulating transactions in certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” NSMIA nevertheless allows the states to investigate if there is a suspicion of fraud or deceit, or unlawful conduct by a broker or dealer, in connection with the sale of securities. If there is a finding of fraudulent activity, the states can bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case.

The Company is a reporting company under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Following this Offering, the Company intends to continue filing periodic and current reports as required by the Exchange Act. Therefore, under NSMIA, the states and other jurisdictions of the United States are preempted from regulating the resale by security holders of the Company’s Common Stock. However, NSMIA does allow states and territories to require notice filings and collect fees with regard to resale transactions, and a state may suspend the offer and resale of the Company’s securities within such state if any such required filing is not made or fee is not paid. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the following states and territories do not require any resale notice filings or fee payments and security holders may resell the Company’s securities: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

As of the date of this Offering Circular, in the following states, district and territories, security holders may resell the Company’s securities if the proper notice filings have been made and fees paid: the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Texas and Vermont. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has not determined in which of these states and other jurisdictions, if any, the Company will submit the required filings or pay the required fees. Additionally, if any additional states or other jurisdictions adopt a statute, rule or regulation requiring a filing or fee, or if any state amends its existing statutes, rules or regulations with respect to its requirements, the Company will likely need to comply with those new requirements in order for the Company’s securities to become eligible, or continue to be eligible, for resale by security holders in those states or other jurisdictions.

55

In addition, aside from the exemption from registration provided by NSMIA, the Company believes that their securities may be eligible for resale in various states without any notice filings or fee payments, based upon the availability of applicable exemptions from such states’ registration requirements, in certain instances subject to waiting periods, notice filings or fee payments.

The various states and other jurisdictions can impose fines on the Company or take other regulatory actions against it if they fail to comply with their securities laws. Although they are taking steps to help ensure that they will conduct all offers and sales in this Offering in compliance with all Blue Sky laws, there can be no assurance that they will be able to achieve such compliance in all instances, or avoid fines or other regulatory actions if they do not achieve compliance.

Purchasers under this Offering should consult with one’s own professional advisers with respect to restrictions on the transferability of the securities offered hereunder.

Penny Stock Regulation

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Company’s Common Shares immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Shares in the secondary market.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited market for the Company’s Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of their Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into their Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of their Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this Offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of the Company’s Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock prevailing at that time.

Rule 144

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock for at least 12 months, in the event they have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of theirs at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of theirs at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of the Company’s at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

• 1% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock then outstanding; or

• the average weekly trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

provided that, in each case, the Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Item 9 Labs Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Item 9 Labs Corp. (the "Company") as of September 30, 2021, the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue recognition — identification of contractual terms in certain customer arrangements

As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, management assesses relevant contractual terms in its customer arrangements to determine the transaction price and recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Management applies judgment in determining the transaction price which is dependent on the contractual terms. In order to determine the transaction price, management may be required to estimate variable consideration when determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the identification of contractual terms in customer arrangements to determine the transaction price is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management in identifying contractual terms due to the volume and customized nature of the Company’s customer arrangements. This in turn led to significant effort in performing our audit procedures which were designed to evaluate whether the contractual terms used in the determination of the transaction price and the timing of revenue recognition were appropriately identified and determined by management and to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including those related to the identification of contractual terms in customer arrangements that impact the determination of the transaction price and revenue recognition. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of management’s identification of the contractual terms by examining customer arrangements on a test basis, and (ii) testing management’s process for determining the appropriate amount and timing of revenue recognition based on the contractual terms identified in the customer arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Item 9 Labs Corp.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Item 9 Labs Corp. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries at September 30, 2020, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

ITEM 9 LABS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Item 9 Labs Corp. ("Item 9 Labs" or, including its subsidiaries, the "Company"), formerly Airware Labs Corp., is a Delaware corporation. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 15, 2010 as Crown Dynamics Corp.

Item 9 Labs Corp. is a holding company, investing in cannabis and cannabis-related businesses. Its subsidiaries currently compete in two different market segments: (1) producing cannabis and cannabis-derived products and technologies through its Item 9 Labs brand (“Cultivation”), which is currently distributed throughout the State of Arizona in licensed medical and adult-use dispensaries; and (2) sell medical and adult-use cannabis dispensary franchises under its franchise brand “Unity Rd.” (“Franchising”).

In March 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition of OCG, Inc, dba Unity Rd, a dispensary franchisor. The transaction was structured as a reverse triangular merger, with the effect of OCG, Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Unity Rd has agreements with more than twenty (20) entrepreneurial groups to open more than thirty-five (35) Unity Rd retail dispensary locations in fourteen (14) states. The majority of the locations are in the licensing process. Unity Rd will be the vehicle to bring Item 9 Labs products across the United States and internationally, while keeping dispensaries locally owned and operated, empowering entrepreneurs to operate their business and contribute to their local communities. As the Unity Rd dispensaries achieve sufficient market penetration, Item 9 Labs aims to offer its products in those locations to expand the distribution footprint of its premium product offerings.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, its impact on our customers and vendors, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Item 9 Labs consolidates a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.  An entity is generally a VIE if it meets any of the following criteria: (i) the entity has insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (ii) the equity investors cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations or (iii) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity or receive the expected returns of the entity and substantially all of the entity’s activities involve or are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately few voting rights. The Company periodically makes judgments in determining whether its investees are VIEs and, for each reporting period, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of its VIE. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was deemed the primary beneficiary of Strive Management, LLC. The interests in Strive Management, LLC held by non-controlling members have been presented on the statement of operations as non-controlling interest. During fiscal year 2020, the Company purchased the remaining non-controlling member interest and at September 30, 2021 and 2020, Strive Management, LLC was consolidated as a wholly-owned subsidiary. See Note 4.

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the prior year's net loss or accumulated deficit.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Significant estimates of the Company include but are not limited to accounting for depreciation and amortization, current and deferred income taxes, inventory, accruals and contingencies, carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets, collectability of notes receivable, the fair value of common stock and the estimated fair value of stock options and warrants, and the estimated fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of assets purchased and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of OCG, Inc. (See Note 4). Due to the uncertainties in the formation of accounting estimates, and the significance of these items, it is reasonably possible that these estimates could be materially changed in the near term.

F-7

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash represents cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks and other financial institutions and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. The Company maintains cash on deposit, which, can exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts nor believes it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Outstanding accounts receivable balances are due in 30 days or less from the time of delivery. Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are recognized in the results of operations in the year in which those differences are determined. Accounts receivable are written off when all reasonable collection efforts have been taken. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company has reserved $0 and $81,018, respectively, of specific accounts deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable are pledged as collateral for debt, bear no interest, and are unsecured.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on the first in first out method. Inventory consists of the costs directly related to the production and cultivation of cannabis crops, cannabis oils, and cannabis concentrate products. Inventory is relieved to cost of revenues as products are delivered to dispensaries. Inventory consists primarily of labor, utilities, costs of raw materials, packaging, nutrients and overhead.

The Company routinely evaluates the carrying value of inventory for slow moving and potentially obsolete inventory and, when appropriate, will record an adjustment to reduce inventory to its estimated net realizable value. There were no inventory reserves recorded at September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Deferred Commissions

The Company pays sales commissions upon the execution of the franchise and consulting agreements and collection of amounts due. These commissions are capitalized on the balance sheet and recognized as expense in the statement of operations as the revenue associated with each franchise or consulting agreement is recognized. Deferred commission expense had a balance of $122,082 and $0 at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Commission expense recognized during the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 that was included in deferred commission expense at September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $1,288 and $0, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred. Gains and losses on the disposition of property and equipment are recorded in the period incurred. Equipment not yet in service will be depreciated once operations commence.

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are:

Cultivation and manufacturing equipment	3 to 5 years
Computer equipment and software	3 years
Buildings and improvements	20 to 30 years

Notes and Other Receivables, net

Notes and other receivables are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are reported in the results of operations in the period in which those differences are determined, with an offsetting entry to a valuation allowance for receivables. Management assesses all receivables individually and in total, considering historical credit losses as well as existing economic conditions to determine the likelihood of future credit losses. The Company stops accruing interest on interest bearing receivables when the receivable is in default.

F-8

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We analyze long-lived assets, including property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We review the amortization method and estimated period of useful life at least at annually at the balance sheet date. We record the effects of any revision to operations when the change arises. We recognize impairment when the estimated undiscounted cash flow generated by those assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets. The amount of impairment is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of such assets, which is generally calculated using discounted cash flows.

Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization

Intangible assets include trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, a website, franchise and consulting agreements, a noncompete agreement and other intellectual property obtained through business acquisitions. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods deemed appropriate for the type of intangible asset acquired. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and reported net of accumulated amortization, separately from goodwill. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis using the following estimated useful lives:

Tradenames and trademarks	10 years
Customer relationships	2 years
Noncompete agreement	4 months
Websites and other intellectual property	5 years
Franchise and consulting agreements	10 years

Generally, the Company utilizes the relief from royalty method to value tradenames and trademarks, the multi-period excess earnings method for valuing franchise and consulting agreements, the with or without method for valuing the customer relationships, and the discounted cash flow method for valuing the website and other intellectual property.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Not Subject to Amortization

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of a business over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Indefinite life intangible assets represent licenses purchased for cultivation, processing and distribution of cannabis. Goodwill and indefinite life intangibles are not subject to amortization, however, annually, or whenever there is an indication that goodwill or the indefinite life intangible assets may be impaired, we evaluate qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets is less than its carrying amount. Our test of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets includes assessing qualitative factors and the use of judgment in evaluating economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, and entity-specific events, as well as overall financial performance. Upon the determination of a likely impairment, management assesses the recorded goodwill or indefinite life intangibles balance with the fair value of the reporting unit or assets acquired.

Licenses

Cannabis licenses vary in term for each jurisdiction. The Company capitalizes all costs associated with the acquisition of cannabis licenses in the year the license is obtained. Subsequent measurement is determined by the length of the term of the license. The Company acquired licenses during the year ended September 30, 2020 that have indefinite useful lives. Costs associated with maintaining licenses (annual fees) are expensed as incurred. The anticipated maintenance fees are not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements. Licenses are included on the balance sheet under the heading Intangible assets, net at September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company calculates a provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by identifying the temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment and interpretation of statutes are required.

In assessing realizable deferred tax assets, management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not more likely than not or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. The Company adjusts the valuation allowance in the period management determines it is more not more likely than not that net deferred tax assets will be realized. After review of the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance in accordance with ASC 740, management determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize its net deferred tax assets and the net deferred tax assets were fully reserved at September 30, 2021 and 2020.

F-9

The Company is generally subject to tax audits for its United States federal and state income tax returns for approximately the last four years, however, earlier years may be subject to audit under certain circumstances. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.

Revenue Recognition

Cultivation revenue

The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, including identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, including estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation and recognizing revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Substantially all of the Company's revenue is associated with a customer contract that represents an obligation to provide cannabis products that are delivered at a single point in time.  Any costs incurred prior to the period in which the products are delivered are recorded to inventory and recognized as cost of revenues in the period in which the performance obligation is completed. For the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, substantially all of the Company's revenue was generated from performance obligations completed in the state of Arizona.

The Company recognizes revenue once the products are delivered. Revenue is considered earned upon successful delivery of the product to the dispensary as the Company has no further performance obligations at this point in time and collection is reasonably assured. Under the performance contract in effect prior to January 1, 2020, the Company acted as an agent for the dispensary, did not own the cannabis products, could not exchange the cannabis products, prepared invoices for the dispensary and all employees that were in contact with cannabis products were agents of the dispensary with which we had our contract. Given these facts and circumstances, it was the Company's policy to record the revenue related to the contract net of the amount retained by the dispensary. Per the dispensary contract, the Company was paid 85% of the wholesale market price of the cannabis products delivered for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The contract was amended in December 2019 and beginning in January 2020, the Company was paid 100% of the wholesale market price of the cannabis products delivered. The contract called for monthly payments in the amount of $80,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2020. Beginning April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a three-year agreement with another dispensary, which calls for monthly payments of $40,000. Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company recorded revenues at the amount it expected to collect, 85% of the total wholesale sales. Since January 1, 2020, the Company records revenue at the amount it expects to collect, 100% of the wholesale sales. The fees paid for operating under the contract are expensed to cost of revenues.

The Company's revenues accounted for under ASC 606 do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company's revenue stream. The sales price is generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from the contract is included in the transaction price. The Company's contracts do not include multiple performance obligations, variable consideration, a significant contract, rights of return or warranties.

Franchising revenue

Through OCG, Inc., the Company enters into franchise agreements and consulting agreements. The franchise agreement allows the franchisee to, among other things, establish a franchised outlet under the Company’s Unity Rd. brand. Under the consulting agreements, the Company assists customers with applying for and being awarded a retail cannabis license through the state license application process. The initial franchise fee and the consulting fee are due upon execution of the related agreement. These payments are deferred on the consolidated balance sheet and is recognized into revenue on the statement of operations when (or as) the performance obligations included in the agreements are satisfied. Deferred revenue had a balance of $775,843 and $0 at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized during the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 that was included in deferred revenue at September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $11,662 and $0, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to their short term to maturity (level 3 inputs).  The Company's receivable resulting from the sale of Airware, notes receivable and notes payable approximate fair value based on borrowing rates currently available on notes with similar terms and maturities (level 3 inputs).

F-10

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:

Level 1 -	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 -	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or
Level 3 -	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share does not include dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of an entity. Dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average number of shares when inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the securities outstanding at September 30, 2021 and 2020 that were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

	2021		2020
Potentially dilutive common share equivalents
Options		5,217,315		3,211,709
Warrants		46,095,000		16,500,000
Convertible notes		1,630,724		2,312,710
Potentially dilutive shares outstanding		52,943,039		22,024,419

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718-10, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. For stock options, the Company estimates the fair value using a closed option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. The estimated fair value is then expensed over the requisite service period of the award which is generally the vesting period and the related amount is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes forfeitures at the time they occur.

Assumptions used to estimate compensation expense are determined as follows:

• Expected term is generally determined using the average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award.

• Expected volatility is measured using the historical daily changes in the market price of the Company's common stock over a period consistent with the expected term or, if earlier, since March 20, 2018, the day of the merger between BSSD Group LLC ("BSSD") and Airware Labs Corp. We do not have an extensive history as a public company and the expected volatility is a significant input into the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

• Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards.

Item 9 Labs Corp Incentive Stock Option Plan:

On June 21, 2019, our board and shareholders voted to approve the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan"). Pursuant to the 2019 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan through awards is the lesser of: (i) 6,000,000 shares, increased each anniversary date of the adoption of the plan by 2 percent of the then-outstanding shares, or (b) 10,000,000 shares. It is the policy of the Company to issue new shares for options that are exercised.

F-11

Warrants, Conversion Options and Debt Discounts

The Company analyzes warrants issued with debt to determine if the warrants are required to be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value at each reporting period. When bifurcation is not required, the Company records a debt discount, based on the relative fair values of the warrants and the debt, with a corresponding charge to equity unless the terms of the warrant require it to be classified as a liability. The warrants and corresponding note discounts are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model uses estimates of volatility, risk free interest rate and the expected term of the warrants, along with the current market price of the Company's stock, to estimate the value of the outstanding warrants. The Company estimates the expected term using an average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award. The expected volatility is measured using the average historical daily changes in the market price of the Company's common stock over the expected term of the award or, if earlier, since March 20, 2018, the day of the merger between BSSD Group LLC ("BSSD") and Airware Labs Corp, and the risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards.

The Company also analyzes conversion options embedded with debt to determine if the conversion options are required to be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value at each reporting period or to determine if there is a beneficial conversion feature. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, none of the conversion options embedded in the Company’s debt was required to be bifurcated.

Segment Reporting

The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on the sales and services performed by its subsidiaries. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company has identified two segments: the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis and cannabis derived products and technologies (“Cultivation”) and the sales of Unity Rd. franchises to dispensaries (“Franchising”).

Business Combination

The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Adoption

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides guidance on measuring credit losses on financial instruments. The amended guidance replaces current incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company on October 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted on October 1, 2019. We are assessing the provisions of this amended guidance; however, the adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

F-12

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This standard requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. For public business entities, it ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoptions of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

Note 2 - Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and has incurred net losses since its inception. These losses, with the associated substantial accumulated deficit, are a direct result of the Company's planned ramp up period as it is pursuing market acceptance and geographic expansion. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations. The Company operates in a new, developing industry with a variety of competitors. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need to generate additional revenue and obtain additional capital to fund its operating losses and service its debt. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described as follows:

Sales and Marketing. Historically, the Company has generated the majority of its revenues by providing the products it produces to dispensaries throughout the state of Arizona. The Company's revenues have increased significantly since its inception in May 2017. Management will continue its plans to increase revenues in the Arizona market by providing superior products. Additionally, as capital resources become available, the Company plans to expand into additional markets outside of Arizona, with construction of a cultivation and processing facility nearing completion in Nevada. The Company believes that it will continue reducing the overall costs of revenues and costs of revenues will increase at a lower rate than revenues in future periods, which will lead to increased profit margins.

Financing. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily with loans from shareholders, private placement financings and sales revenue. Management believes that with continued production efficiencies, production growth, and continued marketing efforts, sales revenue will continue to grow, thus enabling the Company to reverse its negative cash flow from operations and raise additional capital as needed. However, there is no assurance that the Company's overall efforts will be successful.

If the Company is unable to generate additional sales growth in the near term and raise additional capital, there is a risk that the Company could default on its obligations, and could be required to discontinue or significantly reduce the scope of its operations if no other means of financing operations are available. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities or any other adjustment that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Acquisitions

Strive Management, LLC

In February 2020, the Company executed an agreement with the other members of Strive Management, LLC to purchase the remaining 80% of Strive Management, LLC ("Strive"), as well as the Nevada licenses its members held in another entity. The Company agreed to pay $500,000 in cash, $1,000,000 in an unsecured note payable, 3,250,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock, valued at $1.08 which was the trading price on the day of the acquisition, and issue 2,000,000 warrants, valued at $1,610,100 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, exercisable into the Company's common stock. The warrants were issued upon the earlier of September 30, 2020 or three months following the date on which each provisional certificate becomes a final certificate, which has not yet occurred. The warrants have a three-year term, exercise price of $1.13 and include down round provisions. In addition, a volatility of 186% and a discount rate of 2.97% were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In order to close the transaction, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Stockbridge Enterprises, a related party (See Note 9). Though the Company acquired the remaining portion of Strive, Strive was not considered a business under ASC 805, Business Combinations, as it did not have a substantive process. As such, the Company has recorded the transaction as an asset acquisition. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, $6,703,981 has been recorded to licenses relating to the transaction, determined as follows.

OCG Inc. (Unity Rd)

On December 13, 2020, the Company and I9 Acquisition Sub Inc. ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with OCG Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Target"), pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into the Target in a reverse triangular merger with the Target continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger"). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, upon the completion of the Merger, the Target Shareholders became stockholders of the Company through the receipt of an aggregate of 19,080,000 restricted shares of the common stock of the Company, of which 6,868,800 shares will be held in escrow for 12-18 months. As the initial merger agreement was agreed upon in February 2020, the Company agreed to fund a line of credit to assist in funding the operations of OCG Inc. during the process. The payments made on behalf of OCG, Inc. were reported as deposits in the amount of $643,738 as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the amount is reported as an internal balance and has been eliminated in consolidation for financial reporting purposes. The Agreement dated December 13, 2020 superseded and replaced all prior agreements between the parties, including that certain merger agreement dated February 27, 2020.  The transaction closed on March 19, 2021, which has been determined to be the acquisition date.

Management retained a third-party valuation specialist to review the value of the transaction as well as the purchase price allocation. The valuations and allocations are significant estimates. The fair value of the consideration paid, as set forth in the table below, is based on a third-party valuation.

	Shares		Price		Value
Stock issued		14,500,800	$	3.49	$	50,607,792
Escrow stock		1,992,559		2.27		4,521,017

Stock option expense - pre-acquisition allocation						621,107
					$	62,805,914

F-14

The value of the stock issued is based on the market price of the Company’s stock as of March 19, 2021. The value of the escrow stock is based on the market price of the Company’s stock as of March 19, 2021 and has been discounted for a lack of marketability. The warrants issued are exercisable at $3.00 per share and expire on June 30, 2024. Further, at any time after the issuance date, the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on its then principal trading market is greater than $5.00 per common stock share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, and has five days of trading volume in a 10 trading day period of 50,000 shares, and the shares underlying the exercised warrants are registered, then the Company may give notice that the expiration date shall be the 30^th day after the date on which such notice is deemed to have been given by the Company. The value of the warrants issued was determined using Monte Carlo simulation and Geometric Brownian motion to simulate the Company’s stock price on a daily basis in order to isolate occurrences where the 10 day price hit above the $5.00 threshold that triggers exercise at $3.00. Also, the probability of meeting the 5/10 trading day condition if on a major exchange of 74.3% and the probability of trading on a major exchange before June 2024 of 1% to 10% were used in estimating the warrant value. The range of value for the warrants was $285,465 to $2,854,649. The Company used the lower end of the range in determining the value of consideration paid. As part of the consideration transferred, 285,883 of stock options were issued to employees that were retained by the Company subsequent to the acquisition. These options were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and resulted in an estimated value of $934,940. Of this value, $621,107 was allocated to the acquisition price. The remaining $313,833 was allocated to future services to be rendered by the employees and recorded as compensation expense subsequent to the acquisition. See Note 13.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the estimated purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the transaction date:

Tangible assets acquired
Cash	$	94,596
Other current assets		116,441
Fixed assets		41,549
Total tangible assets		252,586
Assumed liabilities
Accounts payable		1,106,158
Other current liabilities		3,389,771
Officer and shareholder loans		1,186,658
Unearned franchise fee revenue		612,505
Total assumed liabilities		6,295,092
Net liabilities assumed		(6,042,506	)
Intangible assets		11,900,000
Goodwill (a)(b)		56,948,420
Consideration paid	$	62,805,914

(a)

The excess purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Goodwill may not be deductible for tax purposes.

(b)

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition represents expected synergies from the merger of operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. With the addition of a retail dispensary franchise business, it brings the full vertical to the Company (cultivation, processing, distribution and retail), providing a built in premium supply chain to distribute the products that the Company produces while maintaining a mode of growth which may be less dependent on outside capital for expansion.

The Company has recognized $61,512 and $2,396,777 of revenue and net loss, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2021 as a result of the acquisition of OCG, Inc. effective March 19, 2021.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the consolidated results of operations of the Company and OCG, Inc. as if the acquisition consummated on March 19, 2021 had been consummated on October 1, 2019. Such unaudited pro forma information is based on historical unaudited financial information with respect to the acquisition and does not include operational or other charges which might have been affected by the Company.

The notes also included warrants to purchase 1,360,000 shares of Company common stock for $3 per share, with a 3 year term. The debt included a beneficial conversion feature after consideration of the relative fair value of the warrants. The debt and warrants were recorded at their relative fair values and, along with the beneficial conversion feature, was limited to the proceeds received from the notes. The resulting discount was amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the automatic conversion feature of the notes was triggered and all debt and accrued interest were converted to shares of common stock. The unamortized discount was recorded to interest expense at the time of the conversion.

F-18

(C-7, C-8)

On September 29, 2021, the Company entered into two convertible note agreements. Up to fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount is convertible into common stock.

Further, the Company issued 67,365 shares of common stock, valued at $112,500 as an inducement to the lenders to enter into the note agreements. The debt included a beneficial conversion feature after consideration of the relative fair values of the warrants and shares of common stock. The debt, shares of common stock and warrants were recorded at their relative fair values, along with the beneficial conversion feature. The resulting discount of $597,606 and an additional $75,000 discount related to a one-time interest charge of 10% of the original principal amount, is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. The one-time interest charge was accrued at September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021, the if-converted value of Notes C-7 and C-8, at the market price of $1.59 per share, was less than the notes’ principal balance.

(f) Viridis AZ

On September 13, 2018, the Company entered into a Loan and Revenue Participation Agreement with Viridis Group I9 Capital LLC ("Viridis"), a related party, in which Viridis agreed to loan the Company up to $1.2 million for the expansion of the Company's Arizona property. In exchange for the loan, Viridis was to be repaid in the form of waterfall revenue participation schedules. Viridis was to receive 5% of the Company's gross revenues from the Arizona operations until the loan was repaid, 2% until repaid 200% of the amount loaned, and 1% of gross revenues in perpetuity or until a change in control. The loan was originally collateralized with a Deed of Trust on the Company's 5-acre parcel in Coolidge, AZ and its two 10,000 square foot buildings. In August 2019, Viridis agreed to subordinate its first priority Deed of Trust and move into a 2^nd position. At that time, the loan was amended to include 6% annualized interest.

On May 1, 2020, under a troubled debt restructuring, the Company renegotiated the $1,200,000 note payable. As part of the restructuring, the Company issued 1,555,556 warrants exercisable into the Company's common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 and a term of 5 years. Accrued interest in the amount of $186,370 was added to the principal balance of the note, making the total principal $1,386,370. Interest only payments of $11,553 shall be paid monthly until November 1, 2020 at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $28,144 are required for 36 months, with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal and interest due upon the note's maturity. The note also entitles Viridis to a gross revenue participation of the Arizona Operations equal to 1% of the gross sales (up to $20,000 monthly) upon the maturity of the note and for the subsequent 5 year period. The debt and warrants were recorded at their relative fair values. The resulting discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. The lender has granted a payment forbearance for the note and all unpaid principal and interest during this time will be added to the balloon payment at maturity.

In August 2021, the Viridis AZ and Viridis NV debt was modified to subordinate these notes to the Pelorus Notes (see (q,r) below). As part of this modification, it is anticipated that 2.0 million warrants were granted to Viridis. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the terms of this modification have not been finalized. Based on the expected modification terms, this modification has been accounted for as an extinguishment of the debt. As a result, the Company expensed the remaining unamortized discount of $393,917 and recognized the remaining $53,113 of unamortized gain on forgiven accrued interest as additional paid-in capital on the Viridis AZ debt. The 2.0 million warrants were allocated to the accrued interest outstanding on the Viridis NV debt at the payoff date (see (g) below) and then to the Viridis AZ and Viridis NV debt based on the amount of each debt outstanding at the time the warrants were granted at the relative fair value. As such, a debt discount of $715,853 was recorded related to the Viridis AZ debt and will be amortized over the remaining term of the debt.

Interest only payments of $13,040 shall be paid monthly until 3 months following the commencement date of the Nevada Operations at which time monthly principal and interest payments of $33,962 will be required for 36 months, with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal and interest is due upon the note's maturity. The note also entitles Viridis to a gross revenue participation of the Nevada Operations equal to 1% of the gross sales (up to $20,000 monthly) upon the maturity of the note and for the subsequent 5 year period. The debt and warrants were recorded at their relative fair values. The resulting discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

In August 2021, the Viridis AZ and Viridis NV debt was modified to subordinate these notes to the Pelorus Notes (see (q,r) below).

As such, a debt discount of $807,637 was recorded related to the Viridis NV debt.

Note 10 - Concentrations

For the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, substantially all of the Company's revenue was generated from a single customer. Given the agreement with the license holder, although the Company’s products are distributed to numerous dispensaries throughout Arizona, all sales are made through the license holder. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary provides cannabis products to this customer under a three-year Cultivation Management Services Agreement that commenced on April 1, 2020. Provisions of the agreement require 30-day written notice to terminate except for the following circumstances, in which case the agreement is cancellable with no notice: (i) uncured default; (ii) gross negligence, intentional, or willful misconduct by either party; (iii) federal or state enforcement action against either party; (iv) any change or revocation of state or local law that has the effect of prohibiting the legal operation of the Cultivation Facility; (v) the dispensary license renewal is not approved; (vi) the dispensary fails to maintain its dispensary license in good standing with the regulators resulting in the revocation of the dispensary license.

Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies

The production and possession of cannabis is prohibited on a national level by the Controlled Substances Act, though the state of Arizona allows these activities to be performed at licensed facilities such as BSSD. If the federal government decides to change its policy on the enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act, it would have a material adverse effect on our business.

The earnest money amounts are non-refundable. The Company negotiated an amendment to this agreement that will spread the $800,000 payment over the course of 4 months. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, $600,000 has been deposited in escrow which has been classified as a long-term asset on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and 2020.

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of September 30, 2021, for those awards that have an exercise price currently below the closing price as of September 30, 2021. Awards with an exercise price above the closing prices as of September 30, 2021 are considered to have no intrinsic value.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following range of assumptions were used during the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

	Year ended September 30,
	2021			2020
Expected stock price volatility		161% - 174	%		183	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.5% - 1.1	%		0.6	%
Expected term (years)		5.25 - 6.5			5
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Black-scholes value		$1.39 - $3.27		$	0.84

During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company received $30,994 for the exercise of 35,625 stock options. During the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized compensation expense of $1,715,424 and $334,631, respectively. At September 30, 2021, there was $3,276,038 of total unrecognized compensation cost. This unrecognized cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted average vesting period of 1.7 years.

Note 14 – Income Taxes  

The income tax provision reflected in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 consist of the following:

	Years ended September 30,
	2021			2020
Current expense	$	—		$	—
Deferred benefit		(2,277,000	)		(2,565,984	)
Change in valuation allowance		2,277,000			2,480,000
Net income tax benefit	$	—		$	(85,984	)

The following table summarizes the effects of the significant differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for financial statement purposes for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

	Years ended September 30,
	2021			2020
Federal statutory rates	$	(2,290,000	)	$	(2,585,984	)
State income taxes		(534,000	)		(590,000	)
Permanent differences and other		547,000			610,000
Change in valuation allowance		2,277,000			2,480,000
Effective rate	$	—		$	(85,984	)

The components of net deferred taxes are as follows:

	2021			2020
Allowance for doubtful accounts		254,000			210,000
Stock based compensation		976,000			147,000

Valuation allowance		(9,857,000	)		(7,580,000	)
	$	—		$	—

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards on its Federal and State income tax filings of approximately $21,402,000 and $17,079,000, respectively at September 30, 2021. We are subject to limitations existing under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 relating to the availability of the net operating losses. Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred, which we have not fully analyzed at this time as we have fully reserved the net deferred tax asset. However, given the equity issuances during the years ended September 30, 2021 and prior, it is likely that a section 382 limitation has been incurred. The Company’s federal and state NOLs expire as follows:

Years ending September 30,		Federal		State
	2029	$	899,000	$	—
	2030		2,956,000		—

Subsequent to September 30, 2021 the following events have occurred.

The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase certain assets, which include licenses, a lease and certain personal property to operate a licensed recreational cannabis dispensary.

The note has an interest rate of 5% per annum and a term of 18 months and payable in six installments on the last day of each three month period following the Closing Date.

The Company completed the purchase of 44 acres of land from a related party for $3.0 million plus expenses. The land-owner is one of the original members of BSSD and a current employee of the Company.

The Company entered into two debt agreements for total proceeds of $1.5 million. As part of these debt agreements, the Company agreed to issue 1,575,000 warrants and 142,365 shares of common stock.

In October 2021, the Company and Stockbridge, a related party, amended the terms of the note payable due to Stockbridge. Under the amended terms, the maturity date of the note was extended by six months and, beginning with the October 1, 2021 payment, the payments are interest only at an interest rate of 15% per annum. A final payment of all principal and accrued interest is due on August 1, 2021. Stockbridge was issued 164,744 warrants as part of the amendment.

The Company granted 20,000 stock options.

The lease has a term of five years with escalating monthly base rent beginning at $6,354. Commencement of the lease is contingent upon the Company receiving an approved retail license.
