cbdMD, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business

cbdMD, Inc. (“cbdMD”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a North Carolina corporation formed on March 17, 2015 as Level Beauty Group, Inc. In November 2016 we changed the name of the Company to Level Brands, Inc. and on May 1, 2019 we changed the name of our Company to cbdMD, Inc. We operate from our offices located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our fiscal year end is established as September 30.

On December 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”),the Company, and its newly organized wholly owned subsidiaries AcqCo, LLC and cbdMD LLC (“CBDI”), completed a two-step merger (the “Mergers”) with Cure Based Development, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Cure Based Development”). Upon completion of the Mergers, CBDI survived and operates the prior business of Cure Based Development. As consideration for the Mergers, the Company had a contractual obligation, after approval by our shareholders, to issue 15,250,000 shares of our common stock to the members of Cure Based Development, of which unrestricted voting rights to 8,750,000 of the shares vest over a five-year period and are subject to a voting proxy agreement, as well as to issue another 15,250,000 shares of our common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) in the future upon certain earnout goals being achieved within five years from the closing of the Mergers. The Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of the 15,250,000 shares of common stock in April 2019 and these shares were issued to members of Cure Based Development on April 19, 2019. In April 2019, our shareholders also approved the possible issuance of the Earnout Shares. The first marking period for the earnout was December 31, 2019 and based on measurement criteria, 5,127,792 Earnout Shares had been earned and were issued on February 27, 2020. The sole member of Cure Based Development at the closing of the Mergers was CBD Holding LLC (“CBDH”). In February 2020, in connection with its liquidation, CBDH distributed the rights to the Earnout Shares (the “Earnout Rights”) to its members based upon the members’ pro pro-rata ownership interest in CBDH. Members of CBDH at the time of its liquidation and this distribution included affiliates of Martin A. Sumichrast and R. Scott Coffman, directors and executive officers of cbdMD. A second marking period for the earnout ended December 31, 2020 and based on measurement criteria an additional 3,348,520 Earnout Shares had been earned and were issued on March 8, 2021. The first quarter of the third marking period ended on March 31, 2021 and based on the measurement criteria an additional 562,278 Earnout Shares had been earned and issued in May of 2021.

The Company owns and operates the nationally recognized CBD (cannabidiol) brands cbdMD, Paw CBD and cbdMD Botanicals. The Company sources cannabinoids, including CBD, which are extracted from non-GMO hemp grown on farms in the United States. CBD is a natural substance produced from the hemp plant and the products manufactured by the Company are non-psychoactive as they do not contain detectable levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

In the third quarter of fiscal 2019 cbdMD launched its new CBD pet brand, Paw CBD. Following the initial positive response to the brand from retailers and consumers, cbdMD, Inc. organized Paw CBD, Inc. (“Paw CBD”) as a separate wholly owned subsidiary on October 22, 2019, to take advantage of its early mover status in the CBD animal health industry. On March 15, 2021 cbdMD formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, cbdMD Therapeutics, LLC (“Therapeutics”) for the purposes of isolating and quantifying the Company’s ongoing investments in science related to its existing and future products, including research and development activities for therapeutic applications.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of cbdMD have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020 (“2020 10-K”) as filed with the SEC on December 22, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2020 as reported in the 2020 10-K have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries CBDI, Paw CBD and Therapeutics. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, expected sales returns and allowances, certain assumptions related to the valuation of investments other securities, acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of intangible and long-lived assets and income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities, contingent liability and, hence consideration for the Mergers is a material estimate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed varying degrees of restriction on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the illness. We are monitoring the trends on infection rates and governmental restrictions and are cautiously optimistic impacts to the business environment will be minimal.

13

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statements purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Accounts Receivable Other

Accounts receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts, if applicable. Credit is extended to customers after an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally collateral is not required as a condition of credit extension. Management’s determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an evaluation of the receivables, past experience, current economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the receivables portfolio. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $29,629 and $20,664, respectively.

Merchant Receivable and Reserve

The Company primarily sells its products through the internet and has an arrangement to process customer payments with third-party payment processors and negotiate the fee based on the market. The arrangement with the payment processors requires that the Company pay a fee between 3.0% and 5.0% of the transaction amounts processed. Pursuant to this agreement, there can be a waiting period between 2 to 5 days prior to reimbursement to the Company, as well as a calculated reserve which some payment processors hold back. Fees and reserves can change periodically with notice from the processors. At June 30, 2021, the receivable from payment processors included approximately $342,713 for the waiting period amount and is recorded as accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of inventory includes product cost, freight-in, and production fill and labor (portions of which we outsource to third party manufacturers). Write-offs of potentially slow moving or damaged inventory are recorded based on management’s analysis of inventory levels, forecasted future sales volume and pricing and through specific identification of obsolete or damaged products. We assess inventory quarterly for slow moving products and potential impairments and at a minimum perform a physical inventory count annually near fiscal year end.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits consist of payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized as revenue recognition criteria are met.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment items are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Generally, the useful lives are five years for manufacturing equipment and automobiles and three years for software, computer, and furniture and equipment. The useful life for leasehold improvements are over the term of the lease. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property are eliminated from the accounts upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations for the applicable period. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstance indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

Fair Value Accounting

The Company utilizes accounting standards for fair value, which include the definition of fair value, the framework for measuring fair value, and disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, fair value accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, observable market activity. In instances where the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

When the Company records an investment in marketable securities the carrying value is assigned at fair value. Any changes in fair value for marketable securities during a given period will be recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. For investment other securities without a readily determinable fair value, the Company may elect to estimate its fair value at cost less impairment plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but must be evaluated for impairment annually. The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually or whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

In performing a goodwill test, the Company performs a qualitative evaluation and if necessary, a quantitative evaluation. Factors considered in the qualitative test include specific operating results as well as new events and circumstances impacting the operations or cash flows of the business acquired. For the quantitative test, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the business to the respective fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its acquired business using a combination of income-based and market-based approaches and incorporates assumptions it believes market participants would utilize. The income-based approach utilizes discounted cash flows while the market-based approach utilizes market multiples. These approaches are dependent upon internally developed forecasts that are based upon annual budgets and longer-range strategic plans. The Company uses discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective acquired business and in the internally developed forecasts. The Company has analyzed a variety of factors in light of the known impact to date of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at this time and based on the information presently known, does not believe that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred.

14

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intellectual property, all of which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company employs the non-amortization approach to account for purchased intangible assets having indefinite lives. Under the non-amortization approach, intangible assets having indefinite lives are not amortized into the results of operations, but instead are reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, to assess whether their fair value exceeds their carrying value. We perform an annual impairment analysis as of August 1 of each fiscal year on the indefinite-lived intangible assets following the steps laid out in ASC 350-30-35-18. Our annual impairment analysis includes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing a qualitative assessment, we review events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine if the fair value is less than the carrying value of the intangible assets. If a quantitative analysis is necessary, we would analyze various aspects including revenues from the business, associated with the intangible assets. In addition, intangible assets will be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. In addition, the Company has analyzed a variety of factors in light of the known impact to date of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at this time there have been no events identified that would trigger an impairment.

Contingent Liability

A significant component of the purchase price consideration for the Company’s acquisition of Cure Based Development includes a fixed number of future shares to be issued as well as a variable number of future shares to be issued based upon the post-acquisition entity reaching certain specified future revenue targets, as further described in Note 6. The Company made a determination of the fair value of the contingent liabilities as part of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination.

The Company recognized both the fixed number of shares to be issued, and the variable number of shares to be potentially issued, as contingent liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. These contingent liabilities were recorded at fair value upon the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the reassessed fair value as of the end of that quarterly reporting period. Additionally, as the fixed shares were issued on April 19, 2019, the value of the shares at that time, in the amount of $53,215,163, was reclassified from contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The first marking period for the Earnout Shares was December 31, 2019 and based on measurement criteria, 5,127,792 shares were issued on February 27, 2020. The value of the issued Earnout Shares as of February 27, 2020 was $4,620,000 and the decrease in value of $6,924,503 from December 31, 2019 related to those shares was recorded in the Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, as the 5,127,792 Earnout Shares were issued on February 27, 2020, the value of the shares in the amount of $4,620,000 was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The second marking period for the Earnout Shares ended December 31, 2020 and based on measurement criteria, 3,348,520 Earnout Shares were issued on March 8, 2021. The second marking period shares increased in value by $3,100,012 during the quarter through the time of issuance and had a value of $11,271,000, which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The first quarter of the third marking period ended on March 31, 2021 and based on the measurement criteria an additional 562,278 Earnout Shares had been earned and issued in May of 2021. These shares deceased in value by $522,104 during the quarter through the time of issuance and had a value of $1,329,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the remaining contingent liabilities associated with the business combination, after the issuance of the first quarter third marking period Earnout Shares, were decreased by $6,348,896 to reflect their reassessed fair values as of June 30, 2021. This decrease is reflective of a change in value of the variable number of shares from March 31, 2021. In aggregate, the Company recorded income of $6,871,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 between the decrease in the value of the third marking period Earnout Shares and the decrease in value of the remaining contingent liabilities. In May 2020, and subsequently in June 2021, the Company updated the forecasts for performance of the post-acquisition entity based on current trends and performance that would impact the estimated likelihood that the revenue targets disclosed in Note 7 would be met. The primary catalyst for the $2,100,000 decrease in contingent liabilities is the change in the Company’s common share price between March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021 from $4.14 per share to $2.90 per share. These increases or decreases to the contingent liabilities are reflected within Other Income (Expenses) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 27, 2020, we received a loan in the principal amount of $1,456,100 (the “SBA Loan”) in consideration of a Promissory Note, under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The intent and purpose of the PPP is to support companies, during the COVID-19 pandemic, by providing funds for certain specified business expenses, with a focus on payroll. As a qualifying business as defined by the SBA, the Company is using the proceeds from this loan to primarily help maintain its payroll as it navigates its business with a focus on returning to normal operations. The term of the Promissory Note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the Promissory Note. The SBA Loan carries a fixed interest rate of one percent per year, with the first payment due seven months from the date of initial cash receipt. Under the CARES Act and the PPP, certain amounts of loans made under the PPP may be forgiven if the recipients use the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs and certain rent or utility costs, and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. The Company used the SBA Loan for qualifying expenses and has applied for forgiveness of the SBA Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The Company filed for forgiveness under the terms of the SBA loan and on May 17, 2021 it received notice from the SBA that the loan had been forgiven. The Company subsequently booked $1,466,113 gain for unpaid principal and accrued interest. This gain is reflected within Other Income (Expenses) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company meets that obligation when it has shipped products which have been ordered to the customer. The Company has reviewed its various revenue streams for its other contracts under the five-step approach. At June 30, 2021, the Company has no future performance obligations.

15

Allocation of Transaction Price

In the Company’s current business model, it does not have contracts with customers which have multiple elements as revenue is driven purely by online product sales or purchase order-based product sales. However, at times in the past, the Company has entered into contracts with customers wherein there were multiple elements that may have disparate revenue recognition patterns. In such instances, the Company must allocate the total transaction price to these various elements. This is achieved by estimating the standalone selling price of each element, which is the price at which we sell a promised good or service separately to a customer.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue from the sale of its products when risk of loss and title to the product are transferred to the customer, which is upon shipping (and is typically FOB shipping) which is when our performance obligation is met. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions. These incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive. The Company currently offers a 60-day, money back guarantee.

Regarding sales for services provided, the Company records revenue when the customer has accepted services and the Company has a right to payment. Based on the contracted services, revenue is recognized when the Company invoices customers for completed services at agreed upon rates or revenue is recognized over a fixed period of time during which the service is performed.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company’s product revenue is generated primarily through two sales channels, E-commerce sales (formerly referred to as consumer sales) and wholesale sales. The Company believes that these categories appropriately reflect how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are impacted by economic factors.

A description of the Company’s principal revenue generating activities are as follows:

-  E-commerce sales - consumer products sold through the Company’s online and telephonic channels. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due prior to the date of shipment; and

-  Wholesale sales - products sold to the Company’s wholesale customers for subsequent resale. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Payment terms vary and can typically be 30 days from the date control over the product is transferred to the customer

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue by sales channel:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		% of total			2020		% of total
Wholesale sales	$	2,740,523		26.0	%	$	2,410,719		22.7	%
E-commerce sales		7,820,000		74.0	%		8,225,826		77.3	%
Total Net Sales	$	10,560,523				$	10,636,545
	Nine Months Ended June 30,					Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2021		% of total			2020		% of total
Wholesale sales	$	9,049,068		26.1	%	$	8,238,832		27.3	%
E-commerce sales		25,638,368		73.9	%		21,944,985		72.7	%
Total Net Sales	$	34,687,436				$	30,183,817

 Contract liabilities represent unearned revenues and are presented as deferred revenue or customer deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has no material contract assets nor contract liabilities at June 30, 2021.

Cost of Sales

The Company’s cost of sales includes costs associated with distribution, fill and labor expense, components, manufacturing overhead, third-party providers, and outbound freight for the Company’s products sales, and includes labor for its service sales. For the Company’s product sales, cost of sales also includes the cost of refurbishing products returned by customers that will be offered for resale, if any, and the cost of inventory write-downs associated with adjustments of held inventories to their net realizable value. These expenses are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations when the product is sold and net sales revenues are recognized or, in the case of inventory write-downs, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories is in excess of their net realizable value.

16

Income Taxes

The Company is a North Carolina corporation that is treated as a corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. As of October 1, 2019, CBDI and Paw CBD were wholly owned subsidiaries and are disregarded entities for tax purposes and their entire share of taxable income or loss is included in the tax return of the Company and as of March 15, 2021, Therapeutics is also a wholly owned subsidiary and is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and its entire share of taxable income or loss is included in the tax return of the Company.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Accounting for Income Taxes topic of the FASB ASC 740 which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company uses the inside basis approach to determine deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with its investment in a consolidated pass-through entity. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and securities.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. The Company had a $18,440,072 uninsured balance at June 30, 2021 and a $14,287,810 uninsured balance at September 30, 2020.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables is principally limited to trade receivables with corporate customers that meet specific credit policies. Management considers these customer receivables to represent normal business risk. The Company did not have any customers that represented a significant amount of our sales for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock compensation under the ASC 718-10-30, Compensation - Stock Compensation using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options and warrants. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company uses ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share for calculating the basic and diluted income (loss) per share. The Company computes basic income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, after deducting preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The ASU modifies, removes, and adds several disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on October 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance also clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating this standard update.

NOTE 2 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT OTHER SECURITIES

The Company has, from time to time, entered into contracts where a portion of the consideration provided by the customer in exchange for the Company’s services was common stock, options or warrants (an equity position). In these situations, upon invoicing the customer for the stock or other instruments, the Company recorded the receivable as accounts receivable other, and used the value of the stock or other instrument upon invoicing to determine the value. If there is insufficient data to support the valuation of the security directly, the Company will value it, and the underlying revenue, on the estimated fair value of the services provided. In determining fair value of marketable securities and investment other securities, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. The Company determines the fair value fair value of marketable securities and investment other securities based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

· Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

· Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

· Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Where an accounts receivable other is settled with the receipt of the common stock or other instrument, the common stock or other instrument was classified as an asset on the consolidated balance sheet as either an investment marketable security (when the customer is a public entity) or as an investment other security (when the customer is a privately held entity).

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 the Company recorded $(18,623) and $(30,849), respectively and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 the Company recorded $526,940 and $(906,011), respectively of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable and other securities, including impairments. The realized gain was driven by the sale of our investment in Formula Four Beverages, Inc. that was previously written to zero based on prior information related to the company’s performance and COVID-19 impacts, while the loss in the prior year was driven by the impairment from its investment in Formula Four Beverages, Inc. and Kure Corp.

On December 30, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Isodiol International, Inc., whereby the Company provided pharmaceutical grade phytochemical compound development services. As payment for these services, the Company has received 1,226,435 shares of Isodiol’s common stock between December 31, 2017 and January 2019. The Company also received 38,095 shares of Isodiol’s common stock upon Isodiol’s acquisition of Kure Corp., giving the Company a total of 1,264,530 shares. At June 30, 2021, the Company had 1,042,193 shares valued at $13,412.

In September 2020, the Company purchased a membership interest in Adara Sponsor LLC for $250,000, which along with proceeds from other investors was utilized as an investment in Adara Acquisition Corporation (“Adara”), a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (a “SPAC”). On January 13, 2021, the Company executed second tranche subscriptions agreements and funded the remaining $750,000 commitment into Adara Sponsor, LLC. On February 9, 2021, the public shares of Adara began trading on the NYSE. Commencing March 24, 2021, holders of the 11,500,000 units sold in the Adara’s initial public offering could elect to separately trade shares of the Adara Class A common stock and warrants included in the units. The shares of Class A common stock and warrants that were separated now trade on NYSE American LLC under the symbols “ADRA” and “ADRA WS”, respectively. On June 30, 2021,the Company’s implied, indirect ownership in Adara represented 4.4% (633,988 shares) and 10.1% (1 million) of the warrants. As of June 30, 2021, ADRA stock closed at $10.00 while ADRA WS closed at $0.67.

Adara’s focus of targets to pursue for the business combination are expected to be in the consumer products industry including business in the health and wellness, ecommerce, discretionary spending, information technology sectors and related channels of distribution. While Adara is currently a listed company, the Company’s investment is in Adara Sponsor, LLC and consequently the Company has classified this investment as Level 3 for fair value measurement purposes as there are no observable inputs. In valuing the investment, the Company used the value paid, which was the price offered to all third-party investors. The Company assessed the common stock and determined there was not an impairment for the period ended June 30, 2021.

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On December 20, 2018, the Company completed the Mergers with Cure Based Development and acquired certain assets, including the trademark “cbdMD” and its variants and certain other intellectual property. The trademark is the cornerstone of this subsidiary and is key as the Company creates and distributes products and continue to build this brand. The Company believes the trademark does not have limits on the time it will contribute to the generation of cash flows and therefore has identified these as indefinite-lived intangible assets (see Note 1 for more information).

In September 2019, the Company purchased the rights to the trademark name HempMD for $50,000. This trademark will be used in the marketing and branding of certain products to be released under this brand name. The Company believes the trademark does not have limits on the time it will contribute to the generation of cash flows and therefore has identified these as indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Intangible assets as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 consisted of the following:

	June 30,		September 30,
	2021		2020
Trademark related to cbdMD	$	21,585,000	$	21,585,000
Trademark for HempMD		50,000		50,000
Total	$	21,635,000	$	21,635,000

NOTE 6 – CONTINGENT LIABILITY

As consideration for the Mergers, described in Note 1, the Company had a contractual obligation to issue 15,250,000 shares of its common stock, after approval by its shareholders, to the members of Cure Based Development, issued in two tranches 6,500,000 shares and 8,750,000 shares, both of which are subject to leak out provisions, and the unrestricted voting rights to 8,750,000 tranche of shares will also vest over a five year period and are subject to a voting proxy agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that an additional 15,250,000 Earnout Shares can be issued upon the satisfaction of certain aggregate net revenue criteria by cbdMD within 60 months following the Closing Date.

The contractual obligations and earn out provision are accounted for as a contingent liability and fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, as estimating the fair value of these contingent liabilities require the use of significant and subjective inputs that may and are likely to change over the duration of the liabilities with related changes in internal and external market factors.

19

The initial two tranches totaling 15,250,000 shares have been valued using a market approach method and included the use of the following inputs: share price upon contractual obligation, discount for lack of marketability to address leak out restrictions, and probability of shareholder disapproval. In addition, the 8,750,000 shares in the second tranche also included an input for a discount for lack of voting rights during the vest periods.

The Merger Agreement also provides that an additional 15,250,000 Earnout Shares would be issued as part of the consideration for the Mergers, upon the satisfaction of certain aggregate net revenue criteria by cbdMD within 60 months following the Closing Date as follows, as measured at four intervals (each a “marking period”): the completion of 12, 24, 42, and 59 calendar months from the Closing Date, and based upon the ratios set forth below:

Aggregate Net Revenues	Shares Issued/ Each $ of Aggregate Net Revenue Ratio
$1 - $20,000,000	.190625
$20,000,001 - $60,000,000	.0953125
$60,000,001 - $140,000,000	.04765625
$140,000,001 - $300,000,000	.023828125

For clarification purposes, the Aggregate Net Revenues during a Marking Period shall be multiplied by the applicable Shares Issued/Each $ of Aggregate Net Revenue Ratio, minus, the number of shares issued as a result of Aggregate Net Revenues during the prior marking periods.

The issuance of the initial 15,250,000 shares and the 15,250,000 Earnout Shares were approved by the Company’s shareholders in April 2019. The initial shares were issued upon shareholder approval on April 19, 2019 and had a carrying value of $53,215,163. Additionally, as the 15,250,000 initial shares were issued, the value of the shares in the amount of $53,215,163 was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the first marking period for the Earnout Shares was December 31, 2019 and based on measurement criteria, 5,127,792 Earnout Shares were issued on February 27, 2020 and had a value of $4,620,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The second marking period for the Earnout Shares was December 31, 2020 and based on measurement criteria, 3,348,520 Earnout Shares were issued on March 8, 2021 and had a value of $11,271,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The first quarter of the third marking period ended on March 31, 2021 and based on the measurement criteria an additional 562,278 Earnout Shares had been earned and issued in May of 2021. These shares deceased in value by $522,104 during the quarter through the time of issuance and had a value of $1,329,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

The third marking period was originally an 18 month period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on June 30, 2022 (the “Third Marking Period End Date”), after which time the determination of the issuance of any remaining Earnout Shares would be made pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. On March 31, 2021 the Company entered into Addendum No. 1 to the Merger Agreement (“Addendum No. 1”) with the holders of the remaining Earnout Rights which amended the measurement periods within the third marking period to change the determination of the aggregate net revenues within the third marking period to a quarterly basis for each of the six fiscal quarters within the third marking period, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2021, instead of following Third Marking Period End Date. This change in the measurement date, however, has no effect on the number of remaining Earnout Shares issuable under the Earnout Rights and no effect on the earnout targets; Addendum No. 1 simply changes the physical issuance date(s) of the remaining Earnout Shares, if in fact, such shares are earned pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Addendum No. 1 did not change any of the terms of the fourth marking period (as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement). This change did not impact the fair value of the contingent liability.

The value of the contingent liability was $14,100,000 and $16,200,000 at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and represents the Earnout Shares. During the first quarter of 2021, the company recorded an increase in value of $8,500,000 which was primarily driven by change in stock price between December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The second marking period shares were valued at $11,271,000 on March 8, 2021 as compared to $8,170,988 on December 31, 2020. This increase in value of $3,100,012 was recorded as an expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 prior to these shares being reclassified to additional paid in capital. After the issuance of the Second Marking Period shares, the remaining Earnout Shares for potential future issuance were valued at $22,300,000 at March 31, 2021 as compared to $16,529,012 at December 31, 2020. The increase in value of the contingent liability of $5,770,988 is recorded in consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and represents the change in value of the remaining Earnout Shares. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021 the company recorded a decrease in value of $6,872,206 to the contingent liability which is recorded as other expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease in value is comprised of $522,104 associated with the decrease of the value of the Third Marking Period shares prior to their issuance in May 2021, while the remaining $6,348,896 is associated with the decrease in the remaining contingent shares as of June 30, 2021. The Company utilized both a market approach and a Monte Carlo simulation in valuing the contingent liability and a key input in both of those methods is the stock price. The main driver of the change in the value of the Earnout Shares within the contingent liability was the increase of the Company’s stock price, which was $2.90 at June 30, 2021 as compared to $4.14 at March 31, 2021, $2.95 on December 31, 2020 and $2.00 on September 30, 2020.

The expected volatility rate was estimated based on comparison to the volatility of a peer group of companies in similar industries. The expected term used was the full term of the contract for the issuances. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Treasury securities. The pre-vesting forfeiture rate of zero is based upon the experience of the Company. As required under ASC 718, the Company will adjust the estimated forfeiture rate to its actual experience. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, and thereby materially impact our fair value determination.

NOTE 9 -STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Compensation Plan – On June 2, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (“2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan made 1,175,000 common stock shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of options, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of our fiscal year during the term of the 2015 Plan, beginning with calendar year 2016, by an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day in September of the immediately preceding fiscal year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 100,000 shares of common stock. On April 19, 2019, shareholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan and increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan to 2,000,000 and retained the annual evergreen increase provision of the plan. Subsequent thereto, on August 7, 2019 the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan changing the date the automatic evergreen increase is determined to the first trading day of October each calendar year during the term of the 2015 Plan to coincide with the Company’s fiscal year.

22

On January 8, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2021 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and it was subsequently approved by its shareholders at its annual meeting held on March 12, 2021. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by providing an incentive to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and competent persons who are important to it and upon whose efforts and judgment the success of the Company is largely dependent. The 2021 Plan made 5,000,000 common shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of options, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. The 2021 Plan also contains an “evergreen formula” pursuant to which the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on October 1 of each calendar year during the term of the 2021 Plan, beginning with calendar year 2022, by an amount equal to 1.0% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on September 30 of such calendar year, up to a maximum of 250,000 shares.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 codification requires companies to recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation expense in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the options. All options are approved by the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. Restricted stock awards that vest in accordance with service conditions are amortized over their applicable vesting period using the straight-line method. The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards or modifications is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Eligible recipients include employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company. Options granted generally have a five-to-ten-year term and have vesting terms that cover one to three years from the date of grant. Certain of the stock options granted under the plan have been granted pursuant to various stock option agreements. Each stock option agreement contains specific terms.

Stock Options:

The Company currently has awards outstanding with service conditions and graded-vesting features. We recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The fair value of each time-based award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Our weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for equity awards with time-based vesting provisions granted during the year.

The following table summarizes stock option activity under both plans:

NOTE 14 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective September 30, 2019, the Company ceased operations of four business subsidiaries: EE1, IM1, BPU and Level H&W. These subsidiaries accounted for our licensing, entertainment, and products segments prior to fiscal 2019 and the Company determined that these business units are not able to provide support or value to the CBD business, which the Company is now strategically focused on. Therefore, the Company classified the operating results of these subsidiaries as discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At September 30, 2020 the balance in accounts receivable related to discontinued operations was $447,134, which reflects payments made and an impairment of $45,783. At June 30, 2021 the balance in accounts receivable related to discontinued operations totaled $18,467.

NOTE 15 – LEASES

The Company has lease agreements for its corporate, warehouse and laboratory offices with lease periods expiring between 2021 and 2026. ASC 842 requires the recognition of leasing arrangements on the consolidated balance sheet as right-of-use assets and liabilities pertaining to the rights and obligations created by the leased assets. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as finance or operating. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees.

Right-of-use lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since the interest rate implicit in our lease arrangements is not readily determinable, the Company determined an incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on the approximate interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar remaining terms and payments as of the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease.

In addition to the monthly base amounts in the lease agreements, the Company is required to pay real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses during the lease terms.

Lease costs on operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included as a selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Components of operating lease costs are summarized as follows:

	Three months		Nine months
	ended		ended
	June 30,		June 30,
	2021		2021
Total Operating Lease Costs	$	386,783	$	1,160,350

NOTE 17 – INCOME TAXES

On November 17, 2017, the Company completed an IPO of its common stock. The Company conducted a Section 382 analysis and determined an ownership change occurred upon the IPO. On October 2, 2018, the Company completed a follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of its common stock. On May 16, 2019, the Company completed an additional follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of its common stock. On October 16, 2019, the Company completed a follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of its 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 14, 2020, the Company completed a follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of its common stock. Management has determined that an ownership change has occurred under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 382 resulting in limitations on the utilization of Company’s federal and state NOL carryovers.

On December 20, 2018, the Company completed a two-step merger with Cure Based Development (see Note 1). As a result of the Mergers the Company established as part of the purchase price allocation a net deferred tax liability related to the book-tax basis of certain assets and liabilities of approximately $4.6 million.

The Company has had a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets, with the exception of the deferred tax liabilities that result from indefinite-life intangibles (“naked credits”). The Company has determined that using the general methodology for calculating income taxes during an interim period for the quarters ending December 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020, provided for a wide range of potential annual effective rates. Therefore, the Company had calculated the tax provision on a discrete basis under ASC 740-270-30-36(b) for the quarters ending December 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020. For the nine months ended June 31, 2021 the Company’s expectation is that it will generate enough indefinite life deferred tax assets from post-merger NOLs to reduce the naked credits from $895,000 to $130,000 and resulted in a deferred tax provision benefit of $765,000 for the 9 month period.

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.

Recent Developments

At the end of December 2020, we announced the expansion of our direct-to-consumer operations into the United Kingdom (U.K.) which allows U.K. consumers to shop for our products online, with all orders shipping directly from a U.K.-based warehouse In March 2021, we officially filed our Novel Food Application with the United Kingdom’s Food Standards Agency (“FSA”). The Application included all of the requisite data to allow for a validated submission and thorough scientific assessment. A similar submission was simultaneously made to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to ensure compliance for the European markets. During the remainder of fiscal 2021 we will be accelerating our efforts to increase revenue in the U.K.

In January 2021 we announced the launch of cbdMD Botanicals, our new beauty and skincare line featuring 15 luxury products, including facial oil and serum, toners, moisturizers, clear skin, facial masks, exfoliants and body care. We continue to invest in the line of products and have a number of additional SKUs launching during the balance of fiscal 2021.

In January 2021 we also announced that we renewed our partnership with Ken Block, professional rally and rallycross driver currently with the Hoonigan Racing division. Through this renewed sponsorship with cbdMD, the brand is set to become synonymous with Mr. Block’s rally car races, with the cbdMD logo to appear on his official fire suit and rally car. The extended sponsorship deal will also include a wide range of additional integrated marketing opportunities to promote the cbdMD brand.

In February 2021, we migrated our ERP system to NetSuite in an effort to obtain more-robust, real-time visibility into our operation.

In February 2021, two of cbdMD’s products were awarded 2021 Product of the Year Awards by a national survey organized by Kantar, a global leader in research. cbdMD serves as the first CBD company to win Product of the Year in consecutive years, earning 2021 top honors in “CBD Ingestible” for its CBD Gummies, while its Paw CBD brand secures category first “CBD Pet” award with its CBD Hard Chews for Dogs.

In March 2021, we announced the formation of Therapeutics for the purposes of isolating and quantifying the Company’s ongoing investments in science related to its existing and future products, including research and development activities for therapeutic applications.

In April 2021, we announced cbdMD signed an exclusive CBD sponsorship with highly decorated professional golfer, and 9-time PGA TOUR winner, Patrick Reed, to become the latest high profile member of Team cbdMD.

During the second quarter of 2021 our Pet brand, Paw CBD, debuted its first-ever national TV advertising campaign during the live broadcast of Puppy Bowl XVII, which aired on Sunday, February 7, 2021 before a national audience on Discovery+ and Animal Planet. In addition, we developed a second commercial that debuted April 1, 2021 for our core cbdMD brand.

In May 2021, cbdMD signed an exclusive sponsorship agreement to be the Official CBD Partner of the NOBULL CrossFit Games to be held during 2021.

In July 2021, cbdMD acquired the assets of Twenty Two Capital, LLC d/b/a directcbdonline.com. This business operates a CBD marketplace through directcbdonline.com. In addition to the revenue and contribution from this business we believe this will provide the Company with additional insight on consumer data and industry trends.

During the last two quarters we underwent the National Animal Supplement Counsel ("NASC") Audit for our pet products and earned their prestigious Quality Seal Award.

Growth Strategies

We continue to pursue many strategies to grow our revenues and expand the scope of our business in fiscal 2021 and beyond:

· Increase our base product offering: We regularly assess and evaluate our product offering, new products within our existing product categories, additional categories, as well as new and innovative ways to provide CBD in a manner that meets consumer demands. To that end, we are devoting resources to ongoing research and development processes with the goal of expanding our product offerings to meet these expanding consumer demands. In fiscal 2020, we created offerings packaged for convenience stores and lip balm and other topicals as well as several unique products for certain customers. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we launched CBD lidocaine products including sprays, a CBD bath salt line, as well as our cbdMD Botanicals line of CBD skin care products. In April 2021 we announced our forthcoming 2021 product launches of which included an extension of our award-winning and best-selling gummies, as well as the first ever, and highly anticipated, cbdMD Drink Mixes. We incurred some minor supply chain delays on new products due to the current business climate but remain focused on launching during the coming quarters. In June 2021 we launched an additional line of cbdMD sleep tinctures and softgels.

· Expand our revenue channels: As the market continues to evolve, we are expanding our sales channels. During fiscal 2020, our wholesale business was impacted as the broader retail industry faced various headwinds tied to quarantining and COVID impacts. Despite this, we continue to pursue relationships with a number of key traditional retail accounts and believe our top brand awareness, effective marketing and strong balance sheet position us as the partner for CBD for key traditional retail accounts as this channel continues to normalize during the remainder of fiscal 2021.

· Expand to markets outside the United States: We continue to explore sales into markets outside of the United States. Our products are currently available in 31 countries. We generally partner with local wholesalers who can help navigate the laws and regulatory requirements within their jurisdiction. We continue to pursue key wholesale accounts in a number of international markets and are focused on expanding our E-commerce business to consumers in the U.K.

29

· Expand PAW CBD: During fiscal 2020 we saw the direct-to-consumer strength of cbdMD also translate into significant growth for Paw CBD. We continue to add internal resources to enhance this division. As this brand continues to grow, we are focusing on cross-selling, customer retention and education. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021 we began advertising on TV and introduced our Paw CBD rewards program. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021 we introduced a Paw CBD subscription which offers additional savings to customers that enroll in the service.

· Expand our sponsorships toward targeted segments: We have had significant success with attracting high profile sponsors and influencers and expect to continue to assess the segments we have covered with a focus on activation of the sponsorships and influencers which are producing the largest visibility and responsiveness.

· Acquisitions: During fiscal 2021 and beyond we may also choose to further build and maintain our brand portfolio by acquiring additional brands directly or through joint ventures if opportunities arise that we believe are in our best interests. As we are in an emerging market, opportunities could be present as companies establish strong brands and begin to obtain large market share. In assessing potential acquisitions or investments, we expect to primarily utilize our internal resources to evaluate growth potential, the strength of the target brand, offerings of the target, as well as possible efficiencies to gain. We believe that this approach will allow us to effectively screen consumer brand candidates and strategically evaluate acquisition targets and efficiently complete due diligence for potential acquisitions. As referenced above, we recently acquired directcbdonline.com and related intellectual property. We are currently not a party to any additional agreements or understandings regarding the acquisition of additional brands or companies and there are no assurances we will be successful in expanding our brand portfolio.

We record product sales primarily through two main delivery channels, direct to consumers via our E-commerce sales and direct to wholesalers utilizing our internal sales team. The following table provides information on the contribution of net sales by type of sale to our total net sales.

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		% of total			2020		% of total

Total net sales for the third quarter of 2021 nominally decreased as compared to the third quarter of 2020. E-commerce net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 4.9% year over year. We are continuing to see increases in our wholesale business and sales to our brick and mortar retail customers experienced a 13.7% increase in net sales year over year for the quarter despite a 20% sequential quarterly net sales decrease. Wholesale volume remains stronger year over year with the reduction of lockdowns and increased confidence and economic outlook when compared to significant uncertainty brought about by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021 overall net sales increased 14.9%, while net sales from of our E-commerce and wholesale grew 16.8% and 9.8% respectively. Overall, we believe the ongoing brand and market efforts continue to build momentum and traction with consumers and an increase in activity from our wholesale business has contributed to our year over year growth.

Of our total net sales as indicated above, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 our Paw CBD line accounted for net sales of $1,547,687 and $1,228,860, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 our Paw CBD line accounted for net sales of $4,430,336 and $2,818,414, respectively. The year over year growth in our Paw CBD brand is due to the expansion of products, increase in marketing efforts specific to the brand, including TV, as well as further adoptions from our wholesale customers.

Cost of sales

Our cost of sales includes costs associated with distribution, fill and labor expense, components, manufacturing overhead, third-party providers, and outbound freight for our product sales, and includes labor for our service sales. Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 31.9% and 35.2% for three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and 30.1% and 33.7% for the nine months ended June 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change reflects the increasing revenue percentage of E-commerce sales, growth and maturation of the business and its manufacturing process, changes in the cost of raw materials, evaluating key vendors, negotiating volume pricing, as well as additional product offerings which continue to impact our cost of production. We expect product sales will maintain a normal cost of sales as a percentage of net sales, between 30% and 35% for cbdMd product, as we continue to manage our overall cost for manufacturing and production during the balance of fiscal 2021.

Operating expenses

Our principal operating expenses include staff related expenses, advertising (which includes expenses related to industry distribution and trade shows), sponsorships, affiliate commissions, merchant fees, technology, travel, rent, professional service fees, and business insurance expenses. Our operating expenses on a consolidated basis increased approximately 68% for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 from the same period in fiscal 2020 and increased approximately 11% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase can be attributed to an increase in advertising and marketing expenses, and increase in payroll, increase in R&D and regulatory expenses (mostly due to cbdMD Therapeutics, LLC) as well as an increase in non-cash stock compensation the implementation of various cost control measures while supporting continued revenue growth and driving the business to a positive cash flow operation.

31

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the overall operating expenses increased by $5,639,162 or 68.6% year over year, primarily driven by an increase in marketing spend of $3,097,667 to drive increases in brand awareness, as well as a $1,164,828 increase in staff related expenses, a $653,242 increase in R&D and Regulatory expense related to Therapeutics and an increase of $627,334 in non-cash stock compensation expense.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we made progress reducing many of our operation expenses while increasing our spend on R&D and marketing expenses to help drive revenue. We believe that we have built a strong business foundation and infrastructure, and we are now focused on activation of our assets to continue to build our brand while we focus on overall execution and profitability.

Corporate overhead and allocation of management fees to our segments

Included in our consolidated operating expenses are expenses associated with our corporate overhead which are not allocated to the operating business unit, including (i) staff related expenses; (ii) accounting and legal expenses; (iii) professional outside services; (iv) travel and entertainment expenses; (v) rent; (vi) business insurance; and (vii) non-cash stock compensation expense.

The following tables provide information on our approximate corporate overhead for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Totals	$	4,693,238	$	3,621,958	$	1,071,280

The increase in corporate related expenses for the three and nine months ended June 2021 over prior year is primarily due to the increase in non-cash stock compensation to employees and directors and increases in staffing related expenses.

The corporate operating expenses are primarily related to the ongoing public company related activities.

Therapeutics Overhead

Included in our consolidated operating expenses are expenses associated with Therapeutics which are not allocated to the operating business unit, including (i) staff related expenses and R&D and regulatory expenses.

The following tables provide information on our approximate corporate overhead for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. We did not incur expenses related to Therapeutics in 2020 as this subsidiary was not formed until March 15, 2021.

Other income and other non-operating expenses

We also record income and expenses associated with non-operating items. The material components of those are set forth below.

Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable and other securities

We value investments in marketable securities at fair value and record a gain or loss upon sale at each period in realized and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $(18,623) and $(30,849), respectively and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 we recorded $526,940 and $(906,011), respectively, of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable and other securities, including impairments. The realized gain was driven by the sale of our investment in Formula Four Beverages, Inc. that was previously written to zero in the prior year based on prior information related to the company’s performance and COVID-19 impacts. The loss in the prior year was driven by the impairment from its investment in Formula Four Beverages, Inc.

Increase in contingent liability

As described in Note 6 to the notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, the earn-out provision for the Earnout Shares is accounted for and recorded as a contingent liability with increases in the liability recorded as non-cash other expense and decreases in the liability recorded as non- cash other income. The value of the non-cash contingent liability was $14,100,000 at June 30, 2021, as compared to $16,200,000 at September 30, 2020, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021 we had a decrease in value of $6,871,000 to the contingent liability which is recorded as other expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease in value is comprised of $522,104 associated with the decrease of the value of the Third Marking Period shares prior to their issuance in May 2021, while the remaining $6,348,896 is associated with the decrease in the remaining contingent shares as of June 30, 2021. We utilize both a market approach and a Monte Carlo simulation in valuing the contingent liability and a key input in both of those methods is the stock price. The main driver of the change in the value of the contingent liability was the increase of our common stock price, which was $2.90 at June 30, 2021 as compared to $4.14 at March 31, 2021. We expect to continue to record changes in the non-cash contingent liability through the balance of the earnout period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $18,984,012 and working capital of $23,232,727 at June 30, 2021 as compared to cash and cash equivalents on hand of $14,824,644 and working capital of $16,023,174 at September 30, 2020. Our current assets increased approximately 26.4% at June 30, 2021 from September 30, 2020, which is primarily attributable to an increase in cash received under the public offering of our shares of our 8.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in December 2020 Our current liabilities decreased approximately 12.2% at June 30, 2021 from September 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in accrued expenses as well as the forgiveness of our Paycheck Protect Program Loan, partially offset by increases in accounts payable.

On July 1, 2021 we closed a follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of shares of our 8.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock resulting in total net proceeds to us of approximately $15.3 million.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 we used cash primarily to fund our operations.

We do not have any commitments for capital expenditures. We have a commitment for cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 8% payable monthly in arrears for the prior month to our preferred shareholders. We have multiple endorsement or sponsorship agreements for varying time periods up through December 2022 and provide for financial commitments from the Company based on performance/participation (see Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies). We have sufficient working capital to fund our operations.

Our goal from a liquidity perspective is to use operating cash flows to fund day to day operations and we have not met this goal as cash flow from operations has been a net use of $4,608,254 and $1,130,029 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $8,293,160 (excluding the extinguishment of the PPP loan totaling $1,466,113) and $10,277,081 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Earnout Shares

As described in Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing earlier in this report, on March 31, 2021 we entered into Addendum No. 1 to the Merger Agreement with the holders of the remaining Earnout Rights which amended the measurement periods within the third marking period to change the determination of the aggregate net revenues within the third marking period to a quarterly basis for each of the six fiscal quarters within the third marking period, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2021, instead of the initial 18 month period. While this change in the measurement date has no effect on the number of remaining Earnout Shares issuable under the Earnout Rights, nor the revenue targets, it will result in the issuance of the Earnout Shares associated with the third marketing period (assuming the revenue targets are met under the terms of the Merger Agreement) on a quarterly basis instead of at the end of the 18 month period. Because the Earnout Shares are earned based on the Company’s earned revenue and by issuing these shares quarterly, as compared to at the end of the eight quarters, we expect that this change has the potential to reduce the volatile impact of the contingent liability on our Net Income results and consequentially its non-cash impact to our financial statements with each subsequent quarter.

Critical accounting policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with US GAAP and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results require our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1, “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.

Please see Part II, Item 7 – Critical Accounting Policies appearing in our 2020 10-K for the critical accounting policies we believe involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters.

Off balance sheet arrangements

As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business

cbdMD, Inc. (“cbdMD”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a North Carolina corporation formed on March 17, 2015 as Level Beauty Group, Inc. In November 2016 we changed the name of the Company to Level Brands, Inc. and on May 1, 2019 we changed the name of our Company to cbdMD, Inc. We operate from our offices located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our fiscal year end is established as September 30.

On December 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”),the Company, and its newly organized wholly owned subsidiaries AcqCo, LLC and cbdMD LLC (“CBDI”), completed a two-step merger (the “Mergers”) with Cure Based Development, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Cure Based Development”). Upon completion of the Mergers, CBDI survived and operates the prior business of Cure Based Development. As consideration for the Mergers, the Company had a contractual obligation, after approval by our shareholders, to issue 15,250,000 shares of our common stock to the members of Cure Based Development, of which unrestricted voting rights to 8,750,000 of the shares vest over a five-year period and are subject to a voting proxy agreement, as well as to issue another 15,250,000 shares of our common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) in the future upon certain earnout goals being achieved within five years from the closing of the Mergers. The Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of the 15,250,000 shares of common stock in April 2019 and these shares were issued to members of Cure Based Development on April 19, 2019. In April 2019, our shareholders also approved the possible issuance of the Earnout Shares. The first marking period for the earnout was December 31, 2019 and based on measurement criteria, 5,127,792 Earnout Shares had been earned and were issued on February 27, 2020. The sole member of Cure Based Development at the closing of the Mergers was CBD Holding LLC (“CBDH”). In February 2020, in connection with its liquidation, CBDH distributed the rights to the Earnout Shares (the “Earnout Rights”) to its members based upon the members’ pro pro-rata ownership interest in CBDH. Members of CBDH at the time of its liquidation and this distribution included affiliates of Martin A. Sumichrast and R. Scott Coffman, directors and executive officers of cbdMD. A second marking period for the earnout ended December 31, 2020 and based on measurement criteria an additional 3,348,520 Earnout Shares had been earned and were issued on March 8, 2021. The first quarter of the third marking period ended on March 31, 2021 and based on the measurement criteria an additional 562,278 Earnout Shares had been earned and issued in May of 2021.

The Company owns and operates the nationally recognized CBD (cannabidiol) brands cbdMD, Paw CBD and cbdMD Botanicals. The Company sources cannabinoids, including CBD, which are extracted from non-GMO hemp grown on farms in the United States. CBD is a natural substance produced from the hemp plant and the products manufactured by the Company are non-psychoactive as they do not contain detectable levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

In the third quarter of fiscal 2019 cbdMD launched its new CBD pet brand, Paw CBD. Following the initial positive response to the brand from retailers and consumers, cbdMD, Inc. organized Paw CBD, Inc. (“Paw CBD”) as a separate wholly owned subsidiary on October 22, 2019, to take advantage of its early mover status in the CBD animal health industry. On March 15, 2021 cbdMD formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, cbdMD Therapeutics, LLC (“Therapeutics”) for the purposes of isolating and quantifying the Company’s ongoing investments in science related to its existing and future products, including research and development activities for therapeutic applications.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of cbdMD have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020 (“2020 10-K”) as filed with the SEC on December 22, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2020 as reported in the 2020 10-K have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries CBDI, Paw CBD and Therapeutics. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, expected sales returns and allowances, certain assumptions related to the valuation of investments other securities, acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of intangible and long-lived assets and income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities, contingent liability and, hence consideration for the Mergers is a material estimate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed varying degrees of restriction on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the illness. We are monitoring the trends on infection rates and governmental restrictions and are cautiously optimistic impacts to the business environment will be minimal.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statements purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Accounts Receivable Other

Accounts receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts, if applicable. Credit is extended to customers after an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally collateral is not required as a condition of credit extension. Management’s determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an evaluation of the receivables, past experience, current economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the receivables portfolio. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $29,629 and $20,664, respectively.

Merchant Receivable and Reserve

The Company primarily sells its products through the internet and has an arrangement to process customer payments with third-party payment processors and negotiate the fee based on the market. The arrangement with the payment processors requires that the Company pay a fee between 3.0% and 5.0% of the transaction amounts processed. Pursuant to this agreement, there can be a waiting period between 2 to 5 days prior to reimbursement to the Company, as well as a calculated reserve which some payment processors hold back. Fees and reserves can change periodically with notice from the processors. At June 30, 2021, the receivable from payment processors included approximately $342,713 for the waiting period amount and is recorded as accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of inventory includes product cost, freight-in, and production fill and labor (portions of which we outsource to third party manufacturers). Write-offs of potentially slow moving or damaged inventory are recorded based on management’s analysis of inventory levels, forecasted future sales volume and pricing and through specific identification of obsolete or damaged products. We assess inventory quarterly for slow moving products and potential impairments and at a minimum perform a physical inventory count annually near fiscal year end.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits consist of payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized as revenue recognition criteria are met.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment items are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Generally, the useful lives are five years for manufacturing equipment and automobiles and three years for software, computer, and furniture and equipment. The useful life for leasehold improvements are over the term of the lease. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property are eliminated from the accounts upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations for the applicable period. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstance indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

Fair Value Accounting

The Company utilizes accounting standards for fair value, which include the definition of fair value, the framework for measuring fair value, and disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, fair value accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, observable market activity. In instances where the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

When the Company records an investment in marketable securities the carrying value is assigned at fair value. Any changes in fair value for marketable securities during a given period will be recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. For investment other securities without a readily determinable fair value, the Company may elect to estimate its fair value at cost less impairment plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but must be evaluated for impairment annually. The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually or whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

In performing a goodwill test, the Company performs a qualitative evaluation and if necessary, a quantitative evaluation. Factors considered in the qualitative test include specific operating results as well as new events and circumstances impacting the operations or cash flows of the business acquired. For the quantitative test, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the business to the respective fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its acquired business using a combination of income-based and market-based approaches and incorporates assumptions it believes market participants would utilize. The income-based approach utilizes discounted cash flows while the market-based approach utilizes market multiples. These approaches are dependent upon internally developed forecasts that are based upon annual budgets and longer-range strategic plans. The Company uses discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective acquired business and in the internally developed forecasts. The Company has analyzed a variety of factors in light of the known impact to date of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at this time and based on the information presently known, does not believe that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intellectual property, all of which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company employs the non-amortization approach to account for purchased intangible assets having indefinite lives. Under the non-amortization approach, intangible assets having indefinite lives are not amortized into the results of operations, but instead are reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, to assess whether their fair value exceeds their carrying value. We perform an annual impairment analysis as of August 1 of each fiscal year on the indefinite-lived intangible assets following the steps laid out in ASC 350-30-35-18. Our annual impairment analysis includes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing a qualitative assessment, we review events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine if the fair value is less than the carrying value of the intangible assets. If a quantitative analysis is necessary, we would analyze various aspects including revenues from the business, associated with the intangible assets. In addition, intangible assets will be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. In addition, the Company has analyzed a variety of factors in light of the known impact to date of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at this time there have been no events identified that would trigger an impairment.

Contingent Liability

A significant component of the purchase price consideration for the Company’s acquisition of Cure Based Development includes a fixed number of future shares to be issued as well as a variable number of future shares to be issued based upon the post-acquisition entity reaching certain specified future revenue targets, as further described in Note 6. The Company made a determination of the fair value of the contingent liabilities as part of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination.

The Company recognized both the fixed number of shares to be issued, and the variable number of shares to be potentially issued, as contingent liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. These contingent liabilities were recorded at fair value upon the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the reassessed fair value as of the end of that quarterly reporting period. Additionally, as the fixed shares were issued on April 19, 2019, the value of the shares at that time, in the amount of $53,215,163, was reclassified from contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The first marking period for the Earnout Shares was December 31, 2019 and based on measurement criteria, 5,127,792 shares were issued on February 27, 2020. The value of the issued Earnout Shares as of February 27, 2020 was $4,620,000 and the decrease in value of $6,924,503 from December 31, 2019 related to those shares was recorded in the Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, as the 5,127,792 Earnout Shares were issued on February 27, 2020, the value of the shares in the amount of $4,620,000 was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The second marking period for the Earnout Shares ended December 31, 2020 and based on measurement criteria, 3,348,520 Earnout Shares were issued on March 8, 2021. The second marking period shares increased in value by $3,100,012 during the quarter through the time of issuance and had a value of $11,271,000, which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The first quarter of the third marking period ended on March 31, 2021 and based on the measurement criteria an additional 562,278 Earnout Shares had been earned and issued in May of 2021. These shares deceased in value by $522,104 during the quarter through the time of issuance and had a value of $1,329,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the remaining contingent liabilities associated with the business combination, after the issuance of the first quarter third marking period Earnout Shares, were decreased by $6,348,896 to reflect their reassessed fair values as of June 30, 2021. This decrease is reflective of a change in value of the variable number of shares from March 31, 2021. In aggregate, the Company recorded income of $6,871,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 between the decrease in the value of the third marking period Earnout Shares and the decrease in value of the remaining contingent liabilities. In May 2020, and subsequently in June 2021, the Company updated the forecasts for performance of the post-acquisition entity based on current trends and performance that would impact the estimated likelihood that the revenue targets disclosed in Note 7 would be met. The primary catalyst for the $2,100,000 decrease in contingent liabilities is the change in the Company’s common share price between March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021 from $4.14 per share to $2.90 per share. These increases or decreases to the contingent liabilities are reflected within Other Income (Expenses) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 27, 2020, we received a loan in the principal amount of $1,456,100 (the “SBA Loan”) in consideration of a Promissory Note, under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The intent and purpose of the PPP is to support companies, during the COVID-19 pandemic, by providing funds for certain specified business expenses, with a focus on payroll. As a qualifying business as defined by the SBA, the Company is using the proceeds from this loan to primarily help maintain its payroll as it navigates its business with a focus on returning to normal operations. The term of the Promissory Note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the Promissory Note. The SBA Loan carries a fixed interest rate of one percent per year, with the first payment due seven months from the date of initial cash receipt. Under the CARES Act and the PPP, certain amounts of loans made under the PPP may be forgiven if the recipients use the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs and certain rent or utility costs, and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. The Company used the SBA Loan for qualifying expenses and has applied for forgiveness of the SBA Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The Company filed for forgiveness under the terms of the SBA loan and on May 17, 2021 it received notice from the SBA that the loan had been forgiven. The Company subsequently booked $1,466,113 gain for unpaid principal and accrued interest. This gain is reflected within Other Income (Expenses) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company meets that obligation when it has shipped products which have been ordered to the customer. The Company has reviewed its various revenue streams for its other contracts under the five-step approach. At June 30, 2021, the Company has no future performance obligations.

Allocation of Transaction Price

In the Company’s current business model, it does not have contracts with customers which have multiple elements as revenue is driven purely by online product sales or purchase order-based product sales. However, at times in the past, the Company has entered into contracts with customers wherein there were multiple elements that may have disparate revenue recognition patterns. In such instances, the Company must allocate the total transaction price to these various elements. This is achieved by estimating the standalone selling price of each element, which is the price at which we sell a promised good or service separately to a customer.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue from the sale of its products when risk of loss and title to the product are transferred to the customer, which is upon shipping (and is typically FOB shipping) which is when our performance obligation is met. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions. These incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive. The Company currently offers a 60-day, money back guarantee.

Regarding sales for services provided, the Company records revenue when the customer has accepted services and the Company has a right to payment. Based on the contracted services, revenue is recognized when the Company invoices customers for completed services at agreed upon rates or revenue is recognized over a fixed period of time during which the service is performed.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company’s product revenue is generated primarily through two sales channels, E-commerce sales (formerly referred to as consumer sales) and wholesale sales. The Company believes that these categories appropriately reflect how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are impacted by economic factors.

A description of the Company’s principal revenue generating activities are as follows:

-  E-commerce sales - consumer products sold through the Company’s online and telephonic channels. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due prior to the date of shipment; and

-  Wholesale sales - products sold to the Company’s wholesale customers for subsequent resale. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Payment terms vary and can typically be 30 days from the date control over the product is transferred to the customer

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue by sales channel:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		% of total			2020		% of total
Wholesale sales	$	2,740,523		26.0	%	$	2,410,719		22.7	%
E-commerce sales		7,820,000		74.0	%		8,225,826		77.3	%
Total Net Sales	$	10,560,523				$	10,636,545
	Nine Months Ended June 30,					Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2021		% of total			2020		% of total
Wholesale sales	$	9,049,068		26.1	%	$	8,238,832		27.3	%
E-commerce sales		25,638,368		73.9	%		21,944,985		72.7	%
Total Net Sales	$	34,687,436				$	30,183,817

 Contract liabilities represent unearned revenues and are presented as deferred revenue or customer deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has no material contract assets nor contract liabilities at June 30, 2021.

Cost of Sales

The Company’s cost of sales includes costs associated with distribution, fill and labor expense, components, manufacturing overhead, third-party providers, and outbound freight for the Company’s products sales, and includes labor for its service sales. For the Company’s product sales, cost of sales also includes the cost of refurbishing products returned by customers that will be offered for resale, if any, and the cost of inventory write-downs associated with adjustments of held inventories to their net realizable value. These expenses are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations when the product is sold and net sales revenues are recognized or, in the case of inventory write-downs, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories is in excess of their net realizable value.

Income Taxes

The Company is a North Carolina corporation that is treated as a corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. As of October 1, 2019, CBDI and Paw CBD were wholly owned subsidiaries and are disregarded entities for tax purposes and their entire share of taxable income or loss is included in the tax return of the Company and as of March 15, 2021, Therapeutics is also a wholly owned subsidiary and is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and its entire share of taxable income or loss is included in the tax return of the Company.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Accounting for Income Taxes topic of the FASB ASC 740 which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company uses the inside basis approach to determine deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with its investment in a consolidated pass-through entity. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and securities.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. The Company had a $18,440,072 uninsured balance at June 30, 2021 and a $14,287,810 uninsured balance at September 30, 2020.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables is principally limited to trade receivables with corporate customers that meet specific credit policies. Management considers these customer receivables to represent normal business risk. The Company did not have any customers that represented a significant amount of our sales for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock compensation under the ASC 718-10-30, Compensation - Stock Compensation using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options and warrants. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company uses ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share for calculating the basic and diluted income (loss) per share. The Company computes basic income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, after deducting preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The ASU modifies, removes, and adds several disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on October 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance also clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating this standard update.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT OTHER SECURITIES

MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT OTHER SECURITIES

Note - 2 MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT OTHER SECURITIES

NOTE 2 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT OTHER SECURITIES

The Company has, from time to time, entered into contracts where a portion of the consideration provided by the customer in exchange for the Company’s services was common stock, options or warrants (an equity position). In these situations, upon invoicing the customer for the stock or other instruments, the Company recorded the receivable as accounts receivable other, and used the value of the stock or other instrument upon invoicing to determine the value. If there is insufficient data to support the valuation of the security directly, the Company will value it, and the underlying revenue, on the estimated fair value of the services provided. In determining fair value of marketable securities and investment other securities, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. The Company determines the fair value fair value of marketable securities and investment other securities based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

· Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

· Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

· Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Where an accounts receivable other is settled with the receipt of the common stock or other instrument, the common stock or other instrument was classified as an asset on the consolidated balance sheet as either an investment marketable security (when the customer is a public entity) or as an investment other security (when the customer is a privately held entity).

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 the Company recorded $(18,623) and $(30,849), respectively and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 the Company recorded $526,940 and $(906,011), respectively of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable and other securities, including impairments. The realized gain was driven by the sale of our investment in Formula Four Beverages, Inc. that was previously written to zero based on prior information related to the company’s performance and COVID-19 impacts, while the loss in the prior year was driven by the impairment from its investment in Formula Four Beverages, Inc. and Kure Corp.

On December 30, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Isodiol International, Inc., whereby the Company provided pharmaceutical grade phytochemical compound development services. As payment for these services, the Company has received 1,226,435 shares of Isodiol’s common stock between December 31, 2017 and January 2019. The Company also received 38,095 shares of Isodiol’s common stock upon Isodiol’s acquisition of Kure Corp., giving the Company a total of 1,264,530 shares. At June 30, 2021, the Company had 1,042,193 shares valued at $13,412.

In September 2020, the Company purchased a membership interest in Adara Sponsor LLC for $250,000, which along with proceeds from other investors was utilized as an investment in Adara Acquisition Corporation (“Adara”), a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (a “SPAC”). On January 13, 2021, the Company executed second tranche subscriptions agreements and funded the remaining $750,000 commitment into Adara Sponsor, LLC. On February 9, 2021, the public shares of Adara began trading on the NYSE. Commencing March 24, 2021, holders of the 11,500,000 units sold in the Adara’s initial public offering could elect to separately trade shares of the Adara Class A common stock and warrants included in the units. The shares of Class A common stock and warrants that were separated now trade on NYSE American LLC under the symbols “ADRA” and “ADRA WS”, respectively. On June 30, 2021,the Company’s implied, indirect ownership in Adara represented 4.4% (633,988 shares) and 10.1% (1 million) of the warrants. As of June 30, 2021, ADRA stock closed at $10.00 while ADRA WS closed at $0.67.

Adara’s focus of targets to pursue for the business combination are expected to be in the consumer products industry including business in the health and wellness, ecommerce, discretionary spending, information technology sectors and related channels of distribution. While Adara is currently a listed company, the Company’s investment is in Adara Sponsor, LLC and consequently the Company has classified this investment as Level 3 for fair value measurement purposes as there are no observable inputs. In valuing the investment, the Company used the value paid, which was the price offered to all third-party investors. The Company assessed the common stock and determined there was not an impairment for the period ended June 30, 2021.

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On December 20, 2018, the Company completed the Mergers with Cure Based Development and acquired certain assets, including the trademark “cbdMD” and its variants and certain other intellectual property. The trademark is the cornerstone of this subsidiary and is key as the Company creates and distributes products and continue to build this brand. The Company believes the trademark does not have limits on the time it will contribute to the generation of cash flows and therefore has identified these as indefinite-lived intangible assets (see Note 1 for more information).

In September 2019, the Company purchased the rights to the trademark name HempMD for $50,000. This trademark will be used in the marketing and branding of certain products to be released under this brand name. The Company believes the trademark does not have limits on the time it will contribute to the generation of cash flows and therefore has identified these as indefinite-lived intangible assets.

CONTINGENT LIABILITY

Note - 6 CONTINGENT LIABILITY

NOTE 6 – CONTINGENT LIABILITY

As consideration for the Mergers, described in Note 1, the Company had a contractual obligation to issue 15,250,000 shares of its common stock, after approval by its shareholders, to the members of Cure Based Development, issued in two tranches 6,500,000 shares and 8,750,000 shares, both of which are subject to leak out provisions, and the unrestricted voting rights to 8,750,000 tranche of shares will also vest over a five year period and are subject to a voting proxy agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that an additional 15,250,000 Earnout Shares can be issued upon the satisfaction of certain aggregate net revenue criteria by cbdMD within 60 months following the Closing Date.

The contractual obligations and earn out provision are accounted for as a contingent liability and fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, as estimating the fair value of these contingent liabilities require the use of significant and subjective inputs that may and are likely to change over the duration of the liabilities with related changes in internal and external market factors.

The initial two tranches totaling 15,250,000 shares have been valued using a market approach method and included the use of the following inputs: share price upon contractual obligation, discount for lack of marketability to address leak out restrictions, and probability of shareholder disapproval. In addition, the 8,750,000 shares in the second tranche also included an input for a discount for lack of voting rights during the vest periods.

The Merger Agreement also provides that an additional 15,250,000 Earnout Shares would be issued as part of the consideration for the Mergers, upon the satisfaction of certain aggregate net revenue criteria by cbdMD within 60 months following the Closing Date as follows, as measured at four intervals (each a “marking period”): the completion of 12, 24, 42, and 59 calendar months from the Closing Date, and based upon the ratios set forth below:

Aggregate Net Revenues	Shares Issued/ Each $ of Aggregate Net Revenue Ratio
$1 - $20,000,000	.190625
$20,000,001 - $60,000,000	.0953125
$60,000,001 - $140,000,000	.04765625
$140,000,001 - $300,000,000	.023828125

For clarification purposes, the Aggregate Net Revenues during a Marking Period shall be multiplied by the applicable Shares Issued/Each $ of Aggregate Net Revenue Ratio, minus, the number of shares issued as a result of Aggregate Net Revenues during the prior marking periods.

The issuance of the initial 15,250,000 shares and the 15,250,000 Earnout Shares were approved by the Company’s shareholders in April 2019. The initial shares were issued upon shareholder approval on April 19, 2019 and had a carrying value of $53,215,163. Additionally, as the 15,250,000 initial shares were issued, the value of the shares in the amount of $53,215,163 was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the first marking period for the Earnout Shares was December 31, 2019 and based on measurement criteria, 5,127,792 Earnout Shares were issued on February 27, 2020 and had a value of $4,620,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The second marking period for the Earnout Shares was December 31, 2020 and based on measurement criteria, 3,348,520 Earnout Shares were issued on March 8, 2021 and had a value of $11,271,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The first quarter of the third marking period ended on March 31, 2021 and based on the measurement criteria an additional 562,278 Earnout Shares had been earned and issued in May of 2021. These shares deceased in value by $522,104 during the quarter through the time of issuance and had a value of $1,329,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

The third marking period was originally an 18 month period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on June 30, 2022 (the “Third Marking Period End Date”), after which time the determination of the issuance of any remaining Earnout Shares would be made pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. On March 31, 2021 the Company entered into Addendum No. 1 to the Merger Agreement (“Addendum No. 1”) with the holders of the remaining Earnout Rights which amended the measurement periods within the third marking period to change the determination of the aggregate net revenues within the third marking period to a quarterly basis for each of the six fiscal quarters within the third marking period, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2021, instead of following Third Marking Period End Date. This change in the measurement date, however, has no effect on the number of remaining Earnout Shares issuable under the Earnout Rights and no effect on the earnout targets; Addendum No. 1 simply changes the physical issuance date(s) of the remaining Earnout Shares, if in fact, such shares are earned pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Addendum No. 1 did not change any of the terms of the fourth marking period (as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement). This change did not impact the fair value of the contingent liability.

The value of the contingent liability was $14,100,000 and $16,200,000 at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and represents the Earnout Shares. During the first quarter of 2021, the company recorded an increase in value of $8,500,000 which was primarily driven by change in stock price between December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The second marking period shares were valued at $11,271,000 on March 8, 2021 as compared to $8,170,988 on December 31, 2020. This increase in value of $3,100,012 was recorded as an expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 prior to these shares being reclassified to additional paid in capital. After the issuance of the Second Marking Period shares, the remaining Earnout Shares for potential future issuance were valued at $22,300,000 at March 31, 2021 as compared to $16,529,012 at December 31, 2020. The increase in value of the contingent liability of $5,770,988 is recorded in consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and represents the change in value of the remaining Earnout Shares. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021 the company recorded a decrease in value of $6,872,206 to the contingent liability which is recorded as other expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease in value is comprised of $522,104 associated with the decrease of the value of the Third Marking Period shares prior to their issuance in May 2021, while the remaining $6,348,896 is associated with the decrease in the remaining contingent shares as of June 30, 2021. The Company utilized both a market approach and a Monte Carlo simulation in valuing the contingent liability and a key input in both of those methods is the stock price. The main driver of the change in the value of the Earnout Shares within the contingent liability was the increase of the Company’s stock price, which was $2.90 at June 30, 2021 as compared to $4.14 at March 31, 2021, $2.95 on December 31, 2020 and $2.00 on September 30, 2020.

The expected volatility rate was estimated based on comparison to the volatility of a peer group of companies in similar industries. The expected term used was the full term of the contract for the issuances. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Treasury securities. The pre-vesting forfeiture rate of zero is based upon the experience of the Company. As required under ASC 718, the Company will adjust the estimated forfeiture rate to its actual experience. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, and thereby materially impact our fair value determination.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Note - 9 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE 9 -STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Compensation Plan – On June 2, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (“2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan made 1,175,000 common stock shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of options, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of our fiscal year during the term of the 2015 Plan, beginning with calendar year 2016, by an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day in September of the immediately preceding fiscal year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 100,000 shares of common stock. On April 19, 2019, shareholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan and increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan to 2,000,000 and retained the annual evergreen increase provision of the plan. Subsequent thereto, on August 7, 2019 the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan changing the date the automatic evergreen increase is determined to the first trading day of October each calendar year during the term of the 2015 Plan to coincide with the Company’s fiscal year.

On January 8, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2021 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and it was subsequently approved by its shareholders at its annual meeting held on March 12, 2021. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by providing an incentive to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and competent persons who are important to it and upon whose efforts and judgment the success of the Company is largely dependent. The 2021 Plan made 5,000,000 common shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of options, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. The 2021 Plan also contains an “evergreen formula” pursuant to which the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on October 1 of each calendar year during the term of the 2021 Plan, beginning with calendar year 2022, by an amount equal to 1.0% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on September 30 of such calendar year, up to a maximum of 250,000 shares.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 codification requires companies to recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation expense in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the options. All options are approved by the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. Restricted stock awards that vest in accordance with service conditions are amortized over their applicable vesting period using the straight-line method. The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards or modifications is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Eligible recipients include employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company. Options granted generally have a five-to-ten-year term and have vesting terms that cover one to three years from the date of grant. Certain of the stock options granted under the plan have been granted pursuant to various stock option agreements. Each stock option agreement contains specific terms.

Stock Options:

The Company currently has awards outstanding with service conditions and graded-vesting features. We recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The fair value of each time-based award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Our weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for equity awards with time-based vesting provisions granted during the year.

The following table summarizes stock option activity under both plans:

						Weighted-average
						remaining		Aggregate
	Number of			Weighted-average		contractual term		intrinsic value

NOTE 14 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective September 30, 2019, the Company ceased operations of four business subsidiaries: EE1, IM1, BPU and Level H&W. These subsidiaries accounted for our licensing, entertainment, and products segments prior to fiscal 2019 and the Company determined that these business units are not able to provide support or value to the CBD business, which the Company is now strategically focused on. Therefore, the Company classified the operating results of these subsidiaries as discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

LEASES

Note - 15 LEASES

NOTE 15 – LEASES

The Company has lease agreements for its corporate, warehouse and laboratory offices with lease periods expiring between 2021 and 2026. ASC 842 requires the recognition of leasing arrangements on the consolidated balance sheet as right-of-use assets and liabilities pertaining to the rights and obligations created by the leased assets. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as finance or operating. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees.

Right-of-use lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since the interest rate implicit in our lease arrangements is not readily determinable, the Company determined an incremental borrowing rate for each lease based on the approximate interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar remaining terms and payments as of the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease.

In addition to the monthly base amounts in the lease agreements, the Company is required to pay real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses during the lease terms.

Lease costs on operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included as a selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Components of operating lease costs are summarized as follows:

	Three months		Nine months

NOTE 17 – INCOME TAXES

On November 17, 2017, the Company completed an IPO of its common stock. The Company conducted a Section 382 analysis and determined an ownership change occurred upon the IPO. On October 2, 2018, the Company completed a follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of its common stock. On May 16, 2019, the Company completed an additional follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of its common stock. On October 16, 2019, the Company completed a follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of its 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 14, 2020, the Company completed a follow-on firm commitment underwritten public offering of its common stock. Management has determined that an ownership change has occurred under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 382 resulting in limitations on the utilization of Company’s federal and state NOL carryovers.

On December 20, 2018, the Company completed a two-step merger with Cure Based Development (see Note 1). As a result of the Mergers the Company established as part of the purchase price allocation a net deferred tax liability related to the book-tax basis of certain assets and liabilities of approximately $4.6 million.

The Company has had a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets, with the exception of the deferred tax liabilities that result from indefinite-life intangibles (“naked credits”). The Company has determined that using the general methodology for calculating income taxes during an interim period for the quarters ending December 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020, provided for a wide range of potential annual effective rates. Therefore, the Company had calculated the tax provision on a discrete basis under ASC 740-270-30-36(b) for the quarters ending December 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020. For the nine months ended June 31, 2021 the Company’s expectation is that it will generate enough indefinite life deferred tax assets from post-merger NOLs to reduce the naked credits from $895,000 to $130,000 and resulted in a deferred tax provision benefit of $765,000 for the 9 month period.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business

cbdMD, Inc. (“cbdMD”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a North Carolina corporation formed on March 17, 2015 as Level Beauty Group, Inc. In November 2016 we changed the name of the Company to Level Brands, Inc. and on May 1, 2019 we changed the name of our Company to cbdMD, Inc. We operate from our offices located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our fiscal year end is established as September 30.

On December 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”),the Company, and its newly organized wholly owned subsidiaries AcqCo, LLC and cbdMD LLC (“CBDI”), completed a two-step merger (the “Mergers”) with Cure Based Development, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Cure Based Development”). Upon completion of the Mergers, CBDI survived and operates the prior business of Cure Based Development. As consideration for the Mergers, the Company had a contractual obligation, after approval by our shareholders, to issue 15,250,000 shares of our common stock to the members of Cure Based Development, of which unrestricted voting rights to 8,750,000 of the shares vest over a five-year period and are subject to a voting proxy agreement, as well as to issue another 15,250,000 shares of our common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) in the future upon certain earnout goals being achieved within five years from the closing of the Mergers. The Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of the 15,250,000 shares of common stock in April 2019 and these shares were issued to members of Cure Based Development on April 19, 2019. In April 2019, our shareholders also approved the possible issuance of the Earnout Shares. The first marking period for the earnout was December 31, 2019 and based on measurement criteria, 5,127,792 Earnout Shares had been earned and were issued on February 27, 2020. The sole member of Cure Based Development at the closing of the Mergers was CBD Holding LLC (“CBDH”). In February 2020, in connection with its liquidation, CBDH distributed the rights to the Earnout Shares (the “Earnout Rights”) to its members based upon the members’ pro pro-rata ownership interest in CBDH. Members of CBDH at the time of its liquidation and this distribution included affiliates of Martin A. Sumichrast and R. Scott Coffman, directors and executive officers of cbdMD. A second marking period for the earnout ended December 31, 2020 and based on measurement criteria an additional 3,348,520 Earnout Shares had been earned and were issued on March 8, 2021. The first quarter of the third marking period ended on March 31, 2021 and based on the measurement criteria an additional 562,278 Earnout Shares had been earned and issued in May of 2021.

The Company owns and operates the nationally recognized CBD (cannabidiol) brands cbdMD, Paw CBD and cbdMD Botanicals. The Company sources cannabinoids, including CBD, which are extracted from non-GMO hemp grown on farms in the United States. CBD is a natural substance produced from the hemp plant and the products manufactured by the Company are non-psychoactive as they do not contain detectable levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

In the third quarter of fiscal 2019 cbdMD launched its new CBD pet brand, Paw CBD. Following the initial positive response to the brand from retailers and consumers, cbdMD, Inc. organized Paw CBD, Inc. (“Paw CBD”) as a separate wholly owned subsidiary on October 22, 2019, to take advantage of its early mover status in the CBD animal health industry. On March 15, 2021 cbdMD formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, cbdMD Therapeutics, LLC (“Therapeutics”) for the purposes of isolating and quantifying the Company’s ongoing investments in science related to its existing and future products, including research and development activities for therapeutic applications.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of cbdMD have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020 (“2020 10-K”) as filed with the SEC on December 22, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2020 as reported in the 2020 10-K have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries CBDI, Paw CBD and Therapeutics. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, expected sales returns and allowances, certain assumptions related to the valuation of investments other securities, acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of intangible and long-lived assets and income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities, contingent liability and, hence consideration for the Mergers is a material estimate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed varying degrees of restriction on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the illness. We are monitoring the trends on infection rates and governmental restrictions and are cautiously optimistic impacts to the business environment will be minimal.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statements purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Accounts Receivable Other

Accounts receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts, if applicable. Credit is extended to customers after an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally collateral is not required as a condition of credit extension. Management’s determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an evaluation of the receivables, past experience, current economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the receivables portfolio. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $29,629 and $20,664, respectively.

Receivable and Merchant Reserve

The Company primarily sells its products through the internet and has an arrangement to process customer payments with third-party payment processors and negotiate the fee based on the market. The arrangement with the payment processors requires that the Company pay a fee between 3.0% and 5.0% of the transaction amounts processed. Pursuant to this agreement, there can be a waiting period between 2 to 5 days prior to reimbursement to the Company, as well as a calculated reserve which some payment processors hold back. Fees and reserves can change periodically with notice from the processors. At June 30, 2021, the receivable from payment processors included approximately $342,713 for the waiting period amount and is recorded as accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of inventory includes product cost, freight-in, and production fill and labor (portions of which we outsource to third party manufacturers). Write-offs of potentially slow moving or damaged inventory are recorded based on management’s analysis of inventory levels, forecasted future sales volume and pricing and through specific identification of obsolete or damaged products. We assess inventory quarterly for slow moving products and potential impairments and at a minimum perform a physical inventory count annually near fiscal year end.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits consist of payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized as revenue recognition criteria are met.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment items are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Generally, the useful lives are five years for manufacturing equipment and automobiles and three years for software, computer, and furniture and equipment. The useful life for leasehold improvements are over the term of the lease. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property are eliminated from the accounts upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations for the applicable period. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstance indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

Fair Value Accounting

The Company utilizes accounting standards for fair value, which include the definition of fair value, the framework for measuring fair value, and disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, fair value accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, observable market activity. In instances where the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

When the Company records an investment in marketable securities the carrying value is assigned at fair value. Any changes in fair value for marketable securities during a given period will be recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. For investment other securities without a readily determinable fair value, the Company may elect to estimate its fair value at cost less impairment plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but must be evaluated for impairment annually. The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually or whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

In performing a goodwill test, the Company performs a qualitative evaluation and if necessary, a quantitative evaluation. Factors considered in the qualitative test include specific operating results as well as new events and circumstances impacting the operations or cash flows of the business acquired. For the quantitative test, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the business to the respective fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its acquired business using a combination of income-based and market-based approaches and incorporates assumptions it believes market participants would utilize. The income-based approach utilizes discounted cash flows while the market-based approach utilizes market multiples. These approaches are dependent upon internally developed forecasts that are based upon annual budgets and longer-range strategic plans. The Company uses discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective acquired business and in the internally developed forecasts. The Company has analyzed a variety of factors in light of the known impact to date of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at this time and based on the information presently known, does not believe that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intellectual property, all of which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company employs the non-amortization approach to account for purchased intangible assets having indefinite lives. Under the non-amortization approach, intangible assets having indefinite lives are not amortized into the results of operations, but instead are reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, to assess whether their fair value exceeds their carrying value. We perform an annual impairment analysis as of August 1 of each fiscal year on the indefinite-lived intangible assets following the steps laid out in ASC 350-30-35-18. Our annual impairment analysis includes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing a qualitative assessment, we review events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine if the fair value is less than the carrying value of the intangible assets. If a quantitative analysis is necessary, we would analyze various aspects including revenues from the business, associated with the intangible assets. In addition, intangible assets will be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. In addition, the Company has analyzed a variety of factors in light of the known impact to date of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at this time there have been no events identified that would trigger an impairment.

Contingent Liability

A significant component of the purchase price consideration for the Company’s acquisition of Cure Based Development includes a fixed number of future shares to be issued as well as a variable number of future shares to be issued based upon the post-acquisition entity reaching certain specified future revenue targets, as further described in Note 6. The Company made a determination of the fair value of the contingent liabilities as part of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination.

The Company recognized both the fixed number of shares to be issued, and the variable number of shares to be potentially issued, as contingent liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. These contingent liabilities were recorded at fair value upon the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the reassessed fair value as of the end of that quarterly reporting period. Additionally, as the fixed shares were issued on April 19, 2019, the value of the shares at that time, in the amount of $53,215,163, was reclassified from contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The first marking period for the Earnout Shares was December 31, 2019 and based on measurement criteria, 5,127,792 shares were issued on February 27, 2020. The value of the issued Earnout Shares as of February 27, 2020 was $4,620,000 and the decrease in value of $6,924,503 from December 31, 2019 related to those shares was recorded in the Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, as the 5,127,792 Earnout Shares were issued on February 27, 2020, the value of the shares in the amount of $4,620,000 was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The second marking period for the Earnout Shares ended December 31, 2020 and based on measurement criteria, 3,348,520 Earnout Shares were issued on March 8, 2021. The second marking period shares increased in value by $3,100,012 during the quarter through the time of issuance and had a value of $11,271,000, which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The first quarter of the third marking period ended on March 31, 2021 and based on the measurement criteria an additional 562,278 Earnout Shares had been earned and issued in May of 2021. These shares deceased in value by $522,104 during the quarter through the time of issuance and had a value of $1,329,000 which was reclassified from the contingent liability to additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the remaining contingent liabilities associated with the business combination, after the issuance of the first quarter third marking period Earnout Shares, were decreased by $6,348,896 to reflect their reassessed fair values as of June 30, 2021. This decrease is reflective of a change in value of the variable number of shares from March 31, 2021. In aggregate, the Company recorded income of $6,871,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 between the decrease in the value of the third marking period Earnout Shares and the decrease in value of the remaining contingent liabilities. In May 2020, and subsequently in June 2021, the Company updated the forecasts for performance of the post-acquisition entity based on current trends and performance that would impact the estimated likelihood that the revenue targets disclosed in Note 7 would be met. The primary catalyst for the $2,100,000 decrease in contingent liabilities is the change in the Company’s common share price between March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021 from $4.14 per share to $2.90 per share. These increases or decreases to the contingent liabilities are reflected within Other Income (Expenses) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 27, 2020, we received a loan in the principal amount of $1,456,100 (the “SBA Loan”) in consideration of a Promissory Note, under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The intent and purpose of the PPP is to support companies, during the COVID-19 pandemic, by providing funds for certain specified business expenses, with a focus on payroll. As a qualifying business as defined by the SBA, the Company is using the proceeds from this loan to primarily help maintain its payroll as it navigates its business with a focus on returning to normal operations. The term of the Promissory Note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the Promissory Note. The SBA Loan carries a fixed interest rate of one percent per year, with the first payment due seven months from the date of initial cash receipt. Under the CARES Act and the PPP, certain amounts of loans made under the PPP may be forgiven if the recipients use the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs and certain rent or utility costs, and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. The Company used the SBA Loan for qualifying expenses and has applied for forgiveness of the SBA Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The Company filed for forgiveness under the terms of the SBA loan and on May 17, 2021 it received notice from the SBA that the loan had been forgiven. The Company subsequently booked $1,466,113 gain for unpaid principal and accrued interest. This gain is reflected within Other Income (Expenses) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company meets that obligation when it has shipped products which have been ordered to the customer. The Company has reviewed its various revenue streams for its other contracts under the five-step approach. At June 30, 2021, the Company has no future performance obligations.

Allocation of Transaction Price

In the Company’s current business model, it does not have contracts with customers which have multiple elements as revenue is driven purely by online product sales or purchase order-based product sales. However, at times in the past, the Company has entered into contracts with customers wherein there were multiple elements that may have disparate revenue recognition patterns. In such instances, the Company must allocate the total transaction price to these various elements. This is achieved by estimating the standalone selling price of each element, which is the price at which we sell a promised good or service separately to a customer.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue from the sale of its products when risk of loss and title to the product are transferred to the customer, which is upon shipping (and is typically FOB shipping) which is when our performance obligation is met. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions. These incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive. The Company currently offers a 60-day, money back guarantee.

Regarding sales for services provided, the Company records revenue when the customer has accepted services and the Company has a right to payment. Based on the contracted services, revenue is recognized when the Company invoices customers for completed services at agreed upon rates or revenue is recognized over a fixed period of time during which the service is performed.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company’s product revenue is generated primarily through two sales channels, E-commerce sales (formerly referred to as consumer sales) and wholesale sales. The Company believes that these categories appropriately reflect how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are impacted by economic factors.

A description of the Company’s principal revenue generating activities are as follows:

-  E-commerce sales - consumer products sold through the Company’s online and telephonic channels. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due prior to the date of shipment; and

-  Wholesale sales - products sold to the Company’s wholesale customers for subsequent resale. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Payment terms vary and can typically be 30 days from the date control over the product is transferred to the customer

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue by sales channel:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		% of total			2020		% of total
Wholesale sales	$	2,740,523		26.0	%	$	2,410,719		22.7	%
E-commerce sales		7,820,000		74.0	%		8,225,826		77.3	%
Total Net Sales	$	10,560,523				$	10,636,545

	2021		% of total			2020		% of total
Wholesale sales	$	9,049,068		26.1	%	$	8,238,832		27.3	%
E-commerce sales		25,638,368		73.9	%		21,944,985		72.7	%
Total Net Sales	$	34,687,436				$	30,183,817

 Contract liabilities represent unearned revenues and are presented as deferred revenue or customer deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has no material contract assets nor contract liabilities at June 30, 2021.

Cost of Sales

The Company’s cost of sales includes costs associated with distribution, fill and labor expense, components, manufacturing overhead, third-party providers, and outbound freight for the Company’s products sales, and includes labor for its service sales. For the Company’s product sales, cost of sales also includes the cost of refurbishing products returned by customers that will be offered for resale, if any, and the cost of inventory write-downs associated with adjustments of held inventories to their net realizable value. These expenses are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations when the product is sold and net sales revenues are recognized or, in the case of inventory write-downs, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories is in excess of their net realizable value.

Income Taxes

The Company is a North Carolina corporation that is treated as a corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. As of October 1, 2019, CBDI and Paw CBD were wholly owned subsidiaries and are disregarded entities for tax purposes and their entire share of taxable income or loss is included in the tax return of the Company and as of March 15, 2021, Therapeutics is also a wholly owned subsidiary and is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and its entire share of taxable income or loss is included in the tax return of the Company.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Accounting for Income Taxes topic of the FASB ASC 740 which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company uses the inside basis approach to determine deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with its investment in a consolidated pass-through entity. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and securities.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. The Company had a $18,440,072 uninsured balance at June 30, 2021 and a $14,287,810 uninsured balance at September 30, 2020.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables is principally limited to trade receivables with corporate customers that meet specific credit policies. Management considers these customer receivables to represent normal business risk. The Company did not have any customers that represented a significant amount of our sales for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock compensation under the ASC 718-10-30, Compensation - Stock Compensation using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options and warrants. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company uses ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share for calculating the basic and diluted income (loss) per share. The Company computes basic income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, after deducting preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The ASU modifies, removes, and adds several disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on October 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance also clarifies that single-member limited liability companies and similar disregarded entities that are not subject to income tax are not required to recognize an allocation of consolidated income tax expense in their separate financial statements, but they could elect to do so. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating this standard update.
