MariMed Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
MariMed Inc., formerly Worlds Online Inc. (the “Company”), is an industry leader in the emerging cannabis industry. The Company advises its clients in securing cannabis licenses, and in turn, develops and manages state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production, and dispensary of legal cannabis. In addition, the Company has created a brand of precision-dosed cannabis infused products, under the brand name Kalm Fusion™, which are licensed and distributed nationally. The Company’s stock is quoted on the OTCQB market under the ticker symbol MRMD (formerly WORX).
The Company was originally incorporated in January 2011 in the state of Delaware. Since inception, the Company has operated an online portal that offers multi-user virtual environments to users. This segment of the business has had insignificant operations since early 2014.
In May 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”), acquired Sigal Consulting LLC in exchange for (i) an aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares on the closing date of September 29, 2014, (ii) options to purchase three million shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable over five years with exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35, and (iii) a 49% ownership interest in MMA.
This transaction was accounted for as a purchase acquisition where the Company was both the legal and accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the Company recorded as goodwill the value of the common stock and options issued in excess of the Sigal assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This goodwill was subsequently deemed impaired in full and written down to zero.
In June 2017, the Company acquired the remaining 49% interest in MMA in exchange for 75 million shares of common stock.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In accordance with GAAP, these interim statements do not contain all of the disclosures normally required in annual statements. In addition, the results of operations of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts within the financial statements and disclosures thereof. Actual results could differ from these estimates or assumptions.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of sales and licensing of branded products, operational consulting, leasing, and advisory services. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists such as a signed contract, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This will usually be in the form of a receipt of customer acceptance and satisfaction with delivered product, or in the case of development and service revenue, when services have been performed.
6 |
Deferred revenue represents cash payments received before revenue is earned; the corresponding costs are also deferred until such revenue is ultimately recognized.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When assets are retired or disposed, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when the net book value of such assets exceeds their expected cash flows, in which case the assets are written down to fair value, which is determined based on discounted future cash flows or appraised values.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, to measure the fair value of its financial instruments, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for disclosures on the fair value of its financial instruments. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Extinguishment of Liabilities
The Company accounts for extinguishment of liabilities in accordance with ASC 405-20, Extinguishments of Liabilities. When the conditions for extinguishment are met, the liabilities are written down to zero and a gain or loss is recognized.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method as set forth in ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the fair value of the award on the grant date, with limited exceptions. Such value will be incurred as compensation expense over the period an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity awards for which employees do not render the requisite service.
7 |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits for the nine months and year ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Related Party Transactions
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
In accordance with ASC 850, the Company’s financial statements include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, as well as transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements.
Comprehensive Income
The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted average number of potentially dilutive securities during the period.
As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were 6,748,898 and 9,825,000 potentially dilutive securities in the form of options and warrants. Such securities had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share, and in accordance with ASC 260, were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation. For that reason, the calculations of basic and fully diluted net income per share were identical for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These options and warrants may dilute earnings per share in the future.
Commitments and Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and if the assessment indicates that it is probable and the amount of the liability can be estimated, such estimated liability is accrued. Otherwise, contingent liabilities are disclosed unless considered remote.
While not assured, management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that a loss contingency will have material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
8 |
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies operating within the legal and medical marijuana industries, including, but not limited to, federal laws, government regulations and jurisdictional laws.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ data to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income (losses).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. While working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was negative at September 30, 2017, for the nine months then ended, the Company generated positive cash flow from operating activities, and revenues and income more than doubled from the same period a year ago.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company raised $9 million. The Company will need additional funding to fully implement its business plan. An inability to obtain additional funding may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION
In May 2014, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”), acquired Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a company partially owned by the CEO and CFO of the Company. The purchase price, which was distributed to the owners of Sigal, consisted of (i) 31,954,236 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) options to purchase three million shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $0.15 - $0.35 per share and which vest over two years and exercisable over five years, and (iii) a 49% interest in MMA.
The value of the common stock issued was approximately $5,912,000, as determined by the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the closing date. The fair value of the stock options was approximately $570,000, as measured by the use of an option pricing model.
The fair value of common stock issued and options granted for acquisition over the book value of Sigal was recorded as goodwill, which was subsequently impaired in full.
In June, the Company issued 75 million shares of common stock to purchase the remaining 49% ownership of MMA.
9 |
NOTE 5 – DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue represented the conversion of a promissory note issued to a third party by the Company’s former parent, which was assumed by the Company in 201l, for future products and services of the Company’s online portal business segment.
In the third quarter of 2017, the Company wrote off the entire carrying amount of deferred revenue in accordance with an agreement with the third party whereby the Company was released from all of its obligations to the third party and any actions or demands related thereto.
NOTE 6 – FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are comprised of land and properties that have been acquired, built out for commercial use within the legal and medical cannabis industry, and then leased to third parties. These amounts are shown net of accumulated depreciation.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, fixed asset purchases were $11.5 million compared to $3.3 million during the same period in 2016. These purchases included the acquisition of properties in Hagerstown, MD and Middleborough, MA, and the buildout of facilities in Lewes, DE, Clark County, NV, and Hagerstown, MD.
Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $264,000 and $166,000, respectively.
NOTE 7 – WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of preferred stock and 873,898 shares of common stock; and options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock. The Company recorded non-cash equity compensation of approximately $285,000 representing the estimated fair value of these instruments on the grant date, calculated using a binomial pricing model.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, options to purchase 4.8 million shares of common stock were exercised, at exercise prices ranging from $0.010 to $0.025. The issuance of shares associated with these exercises occurred after the quarter end, and accordingly the stock is reflected as Common Stock Subscribed But Not Yet Issued within the September 30, 2017 balance sheet.
Stock options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2017 were:

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, each of which speak only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company has no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes that may occur to general economic and business conditions; changes in current pricing levels that we can charge for our services or which we pay to our suppliers and business partners; changes in political, social and economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate; changes to laws and regulations that pertain to our operations; changes in technology that render our technology relatively inferior, obsolete or more expensive compared to others; foreign currency fluctuations; changes in the business prospects of our business partners and customers; increased competition, including from our business partners; delays in the delivery of broadband capacity to the homes and offices of persons who use our services; general disruptions to Internet service; and the loss of customer faith in the Internet as a means of commerce.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related notes which are included under Item 1.
We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect future events or circumstances.
Overview
General
We are a management advisory company in the medical cannabis industry. We provide our clients with industry leading expertise in the design, development, operation, funding, and optimization of medical cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities. Our team acquires land and/or real estate for the purpose of developing state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant legal cannabis facilities. These facilities are models of excellence in horticultural principals, cannabis production, product development, and dispensary operations. These facilities are leased to the Company’s clients who are entities that have been awarded legal and medical marijuana licenses from multiple states.
We currently have five active and fully operational facilities which are located in Delaware (in the cities of Wilmington and Lewes), Illinois (in the cities of Anna and Harrisburg), and Nevada (Clark county). In addition, we currently have three facilities in various stages of acquisition and construction in Maryland (Hagerstown) and Massachusetts (in the cities of Middleborough and New Bedford).
In addition to our medical cannabis facilities, we are on the forefront of the development of precision-dosed cannabis medicine for the treatment of specific medical conditions. Our branded products, such as Kalm Fusion™, are licensed and distributed in cannabis-legal states across the country.
Since our inception in 2011, we have also operated an online portal that offers multi-user virtual environments to users. While this business segment owns a proprietary technology platform, select URLs and a vast inventory of digital assets, it has had insignificant operations since early 2014, and provides a negligible contribution to the business.
In May 2014, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”), our wholly owned subsidiary immediately prior to the Agreement, Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), and the Members of Sigal, two of whom were the CEO and CFO of the Company (“Sellers”). The transaction closed in September 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company, through MMA, acquired Sigal, and the Sellers received (i) the aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the closing date; (ii) options to purchase three million shares of the Company’s common stock, which are exercisable over five years with exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35, and (iii) a 49% ownership interest of MMA, thereby reducing our ownership of MMA to 51%.
In June 2017, we acquired the remaining 49% interest in MMA in exchange for 75 million shares of restricted common stock.
13 |
Revenues
Revenues are predominantly generated by our medical cannabis operating segment. Such revenues are comprised of: subleasing contracts with our medical marijuana clients; consulting services to companies operating in the legal and medical marijuana industry; production arrangements for the procurement of cannabis resources; and licensing revenues from the sale of our branded products.
Subleasing revenue is derived from the rental of our regulatory-compliant, medical cannabis facilities to companies that have been awarded medical marijuana licenses, but who otherwise do not have the resources to develop such facilities.
Consulting revenue is generated from the guidance we provide entities to attain medical marijuana licenses, and from the expert services we deliver, which include best practices and standard operating procedures, in support of the cultivation and dispensing of medical cannabis.
Production revenue is generated from agreements with third parties to provide our medical cannabis clients with materials necessary for the production and dispensing of medical marijuana.
Licensing revenue arises from the sale of our branded precision-dosed cannabis medications, such as Kalm Fusion™, to legal dispensaries throughout the country.
Expenses
We classify our operating expenses into the following categories:
● | cost of revenues |
● | personnel |
● | marketing and promotion |
● | general and administration, and |
● | depreciation and amortization |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we raised a total of $9 million, comprised of $5,150,000 from the issuance of common stock, $200,000 from the subscription of Series A preferred stock, and $3,650,000 from the issuance of promissory notes. These funds will be used to for the purchase, development, and continual expansion of state-of-the-art medical marijuana facilities, and the broadening of our branded line of medicinal marijuana products. We expect to continue to pursue additional sources of capital, though we have no current arrangements in place at this time, and there can be no assurance that any such financing will become available.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to three months ended September 30, 2016
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 nearly doubled from the same period a year ago. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were approximately $874,000, and increased over 96% to approximately $1,716,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This significant increase was primarily due to the expanding operations of our medical cannabis clients from whom we earn subleasing, consulting, and production fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, these clients’ revenues increased to approximately $3.3 million from $1.9 million for the same period in 2016.
Cost of revenues increased 6% from approximately $423,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $448,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The slight increase demonstrates our continued successful leveraging of our infrastructure to generate higher margins. Accordingly, gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from 52% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to 74% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Personnel expense increased to approximately $270,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $112,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase was the result of hiring additional staff to support the higher level of revenues.
Marketing and promotion costs increased slightly to $29,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from approximately $20,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase is due to our additional efforts to promote our services within the medical cannabis industry.
14 |
General and administrative costs increased to approximately $581,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from approximately $198,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase is commensurate with the growth of revenues and the overall business.
Depreciation and amortization increased from approximately $66,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to approximately $100,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 due to the increase in fixed assets.
Non-operating expenses were primarily comprised of (i) interest expense on our mortgage and notes payable, offset by interest income on our note receivable, and (ii) three one-time non-cash items: equity compensation, loss on conversions of debt to common stock, and the write-off of deferred revenue. These non-cash items are required by generally accepted accounting principles, but have no effect on the operating earnings or liquidity of the Company. These non-cash items in 2017 are one-time in nature and are the cause for the large year-over-year variation in non-operating expenses.
As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of approximately $314,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a net loss of approximately $7,000 from the same period a year ago. The loss in the current period is due to the previously explained large one-time expenses which had no impact on the Company’s operating income or cash flow. Without these one-time items, net income would have been approximately $208,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2016
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 more than doubled from the same period a year ago. Last year, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were approximately $2.1 million, and increased 110% to approximately $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This significant increase was due to the continued strengthening of the operations of our medical cannabis clients from whom we earn subleasing, consulting, and production fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, these clients’ revenues increased to approximately $8.4 million from $4.6 million for the same period in 2016.
Cost of revenues increased 36% from approximately $954,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to approximately $1,294,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The percentage increase was significantly less that the increase in revenues, demonstrating the successful leveraging of our infrastructure to generate higher margins. Accordingly, our gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from 55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Personnel expense increased 64% to approximately $574,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $351,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase was the result of hiring additional staff to support the higher level of revenues and expected continuing growth.
Marketing and promotion costs increased to approximately $84,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from approximately $24,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase is due to our additional efforts to promote our services within the medical cannabis industry.
General and administrative costs increased to approximately $1,173,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from approximately $476,000 from the same period a year ago. This increase is commensurate with the increase in revenues and expected continuing growth of the overall business.
Depreciation and amortization increased from approximately $166,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to approximately $264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the increase in fixed assets.
Non-operating expenses were primarily comprised of (i) interest expense on our mortgage and notes payable, offset by interest income on our note receivable, and (ii) three one-time non-cash items: equity compensation, loss on conversions of debt to common stock, and the write-off of deferred revenue. These non-cash items are required by generally accepted accounting principles, but have no effect on the operating earnings or liquidity of the Company. These non-cash items in 2017 are one-time in nature and are the cause for the large year-over-year variation in non-operating expenses.
As a result of the foregoing, our operating results improved from a net loss of approximately $27,000 for the nine months ended September 31, 2016, to the realization of net income of approximately $300,000 for the nine months ended September 31, 2017.
15 |
As a result of the foregoing, we realized net income of approximately $957,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a net loss of approximately $27,000 for the same period a year ago.
Subsequent Events
In October 2017, the Company received a certificate of occupancy for its recently completed facility in Hagerstown, MD, which is leased to a third party that has been awarded a medical marijuana license in the state.
In November 2017, the Company purchased a 137,500 square foot industrial building in New Bedford, MA, a portion of which is tenant-occupied, and a portion of which will be renovated into a state-of-the-art medical cannabis facility to be leased to a cannabis licensee in the state.
In November 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement for the production and distribution of its branded cannabis products in the state of Nevada. Production of the Company’s THC and CBD formulated products—including Kalm Fusion™, Kalm Chewable Tablets, Kalm Popcorn, Kalm Powdered Tincture, and Mari Melts—is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2017.
During the period October 1 through November 14, 2017, the Company issued 450,000 shares of its common stock.
Item 4. Controls And Procedures
As of September 30, 2017, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017. The above statement notwithstanding, you are cautioned that no system is foolproof.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s reports in this quarterly report.
