Nature of the Business  

 

The Company operates a subsidiary, Marijuana Holdings Americas, Inc., a Florida corporation, that pursues medical and/or recreational licenses for the growing, processing and/or sale of marijuana in jurisdictions where it is legal and permissible under local laws. The subsidiary was formed in March 2014.

 

In March 2014 Marijuana Holdings Americas, Inc. (through local Oregon subsidiaries) began the application process to obtain licenses to operate medical marijuana dispensaries in Oregon. On March 21, 2014 the Company received notice from the Oregon Health Authority that MJAI Oregon 1 had been granted provisional licensing approval to operate their first Medical Marijuana Dispensary in Portland, Oregon and subsequently received full licensing approval for the first “Kaya ShackTM” retail medical marijuana dispensary, which we began operating July 3, 2014.

 

In April 2015 KAYS commenced its own medical marijuana grow operations for the cultivation and harvesting of legal marijuana, thereby becoming the first US publicly traded company to own a majority interest in a vertically integrated legal marijuana enterprise in the United States. The Company opened its second MMD (and first Kaya Shack™ Marijuana Superstore) in October 2015 in Salem, Oregon. During 2015, the Company also consolidated its grow operations and manufacturing operations into a single facility in Portland, Oregon. In October 2015, Oregon commenced legal recreational marijuana sales, which are initially being conducted solely through State Licensed MMDs, including those operated by the Company. The Company plans to open at least two additional dispensaries in Oregon during 2016 and in April 2016 entered into leases and filed increased applications for its next two planned retain outlets in Salem Oregon.
