NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
MariMed
Inc. (the “Company”) is a multi-state operator in the United States cannabis industry. The Company develops, operates, manages,
and optimizes over 300,000 square feet of state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production and dispensing
of medicinal and recreational cannabis. The Company also licenses its proprietary brands of cannabis and hemp-infused products, along
with other top brands, in several domestic markets and overseas.
Upon
its entry into the cannabis industry in 2014, the Company was an advisory firm that procured state-issued cannabis licenses on behalf
of its clients, developed cannabis facilities which it leased to these newly-licensed companies, and provided industry-leading expertise
and oversight in all aspects of their cannabis operations. The Company also provided its clients with as ongoing regulatory, accounting,
real estate, human resources, and administrative services.
Thereafter ,
the Company made the strategic decision to transition from a consulting business to a direct owner and operator of cannabis licenses
in high-growth states. Core to this transition is the acquisition and consolidation of the Company’s clients (the “Consolidation
Plan”). Among several benefits, the Consolidation Plan would present a simpler, more transparent financial picture of the full
breadth of the Company’s efforts, with a clearer representation of the revenues, earnings, and other financial metrics the Company
has generated for its clients. The Company has played a key role in the successes of these entities, from the securing of their cannabis
licenses, to the development of facilities that are models of excellence, to funding their operations, and to providing operational and
corporate guidance. Accordingly, the Company believes it is well suited to own these facilities and manage the continuing growth of their
operations.
To
date, acquisitions of its client businesses in Massachusetts and Illinois have been completed and establish the Company as a fully
integrated seed-to-sale multi-state operator (“MSO”). The acquisitions of the remaining entities located in Maryland,
Nevada, and Delaware are at various stages of completion and subject to each state’s laws governing the ownership transfer of cannabis
licenses, which in the case of Delaware requires a modification of current cannabis ownership laws to permit for-profit ownership. Meanwhile,
the Company continues to expand these businesses and maximize the Company’s revenue from rental income, management fees, and licensing
royalties.
The transition to
becoming a fully integrated MSO is part of a strategic growth plan (the “Strategic Growth Plan”) the Company is implementing
to drive its revenues and profitability. The Strategic Growth Plan has four components: (i) complete the Consolidation Plan, (ii) increase
revenues in existing states, by spending capital to increase the Company’s cultivation and production capacity, and develop additional
assets within those states, (iii) expand the Company’s
footprint in additional legal cannabis states through new applications and acquisitions of existing cannabis businesses; and (iv) expand
the Company’s brand portfolio and licensing revenue, by continuing to build its portfolio of leading brands and license its brands
in other legal states.
As
to its products, the Company has created its own brands of cannabis
flower, concentrates, and precision-dosed products utilizing proprietary strains and formulations. These products are developed by the
Company in cooperation with state-licensed operators who meet the Company’s strict standards, including all natural—not artificial
or synthetic—ingredients. The Company licenses its brands and product formulations only to certified manufacturing professionals
who follow state cannabis laws and adhere to the Company’s precise scientific formulations and trademarked product recipes.
The
Company’s proprietary cannabis genetics produce flowers and concentrates under the brand name Nature’s Heritage™, and
cannabis-infused products under the brand names Kalm Fusion®, in the form of chewable tablets and drink powder mixes, and the award-winning 1
Betty’s Eddies® brand of all natural fruit chews. Both cannabis-infused brands are top selling products in Maryland and
Massachusetts 2 and the Company intends to introduce additional products under these brands in 2021.
The
Company also has exclusive sublicensing rights in certain states to distribute the Binske® line of cannabis products crafted from
premium artisan ingredients, the Healer™ line of medical full-spectrum cannabis tinctures, and the clinically tested medicinal
cannabis strains developed in Israel by global medical cannabis research pioneer Tikun Olam™. The Company intends to continue licensing
and distributing its brands as well as other top brands in the Company’s current markets.
The
Company’s stock is quoted on the OTCQX market under the ticker symbol MRMD.
The
Company was incorporated in Delaware in January 2011 under the name Worlds Online Inc. Initially, the Company developed and managed online
virtual worlds. By early 2014, this line of business effectively ceased operating, and the Company pivoted into the legal cannabis industry.

Awards won by the Company’s Betty’s Eddies® brand include LeafLink 2020 Industry Innovator, Explore Maryland Cannabis
2020 Edible of the Year, and LeafLink 2019 Best Selling Medical Product.

NOTE
2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“GAAP”).
In
accordance with GAAP, interim financial statements are not required to contain all of the disclosures normally required in annual financial
statements. In addition, the results of operations of interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations
to be expected for the full year. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
most recent audited annual financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ data to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on reported income (losses) or cash flows.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MariMed Inc. and the following majority-owned subsidiaries

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts within the financial statements and disclosures thereof. Actual results could differ from these estimates or assumptions.
Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair values
of these investments approximate their carrying values.
The
Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with recognized financial institutions located in the United States. In the
normal course of business, the Company may carry balances with certain financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits. The
Company has not experienced losses on balances in excess of such limits and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant
risks in that regard.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable consist of trade receivables and are carried at their estimated collectible amounts.
The
Company provides credit to its clients in the form of payment terms. The Company limits its credit risk by performing credit evaluations
of its clients and maintaining a reserve, if deemed necessary, for potential credit losses. Such evaluations include the review of a
client’s outstanding balances with consideration towards such client’s historical collection experience, as well as prevailing
economic and market conditions and other factors. Based on such evaluations, the Company maintained a reserve of approximately $ 41.4
million and $ 40.0
million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
respectively. Please refer to Note 17 – Bad Debts for further discussion on receivable reserves.
8
Inventory
Inventory
is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with the cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company
allocates a certain percentage of overhead cost to its manufactured inventory; such allocation is based on square footage and other industry-standard
criteria. The Company reviews physical inventory for obsolescence and/or excess and will record a write-down if necessary.
Investments
Investments
are comprised of equity holdings in private companies. These investments are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet, with changes to fair value included in income. Investments are evaluated for permanent impairment and are written down
if such impairments are deemed to have occurred.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
606, Revenue from Contract with Customers, as amended by subsequently issued Accounting Standards Updates. This revenue standard
requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
that it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The recognition of revenue is determined by performing the
following consecutive steps:
●
Identify
the contract(s) with a customer;
●
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract(s);
●
Determine
the transaction price;
●
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
●
Recognize
revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Additionally,
when another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Company’s clients, a determination is made as to who—the
Company or the other party—is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sale transaction, and who is merely the agent arranging
for goods or services to be provided by the other party.
The
Company is typically considered the principal if it controls the specified good or service before such good or service is transferred
to its client. The Company may also be deemed to be the principal even if it engages another party (an agent) to satisfy some of the
performance obligations on its behalf, provided the Company (i) takes on certain responsibilities, obligations and risks, (ii) possesses
certain abilities and discretion, or (iii) other relevant indicators of the sale. If deemed an agent, the Company would not recognize
revenue for the performance obligations it does not satisfy.
The
Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:
●
Product
Sales – direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products by the Company’s retail dispensaries and
wholesale operations in Massachusetts and Illinois, and sales of hemp and hemp-infused products. An increase in product sales is
expected from the Company’s planned cannabis-licensee acquisitions in Maryland, Nevada, and Delaware (upon this state’s
amendment to permit for-profit ownership of cannabis entities). This revenue is recognized when products are delivered or at retail
points-of-sale.
●
Real
Estate – rental income and additional rental fees generated from leasing of the Company’s state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant
cannabis facilities to its cannabis-licensed clients. Rental income is generally a fixed amount per month that escalates over the
respective lease terms, while additional rental fees are based on a percentage of tenant revenues that exceed specified amounts.
●
Management
– fees for providing the Company’s cannabis clients with comprehensive oversight of their cannabis cultivation, production,
and dispensary operations. These fees are based on a percentage of such clients’ revenue and are recognized after services
have been performed.
●
Supply
Procurement – the Company maintains volume discounts with top national vendors of cultivation and production resources, supplies,
and equipment, which the Company acquires and resells to its clients or third parties within the cannabis industry. The Company recognizes
this revenue after the delivery and acceptance of goods by the purchaser.
●
Licensing
– royalties from the licensed distribution of the Company’s branded products including Kalm Fusion® and Betty’s
Eddies®, and from sublicensing of contracted brands including Healer and Tikun Olam, to regulated dispensaries throughout the
United States and Puerto Rico. The recognition of this revenue occurs when the products are delivered.
9
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, with depreciation recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, if applicable. When assets are retired or disposed, the cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income. Repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense in the period incurred.
The
estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows: buildings and building improvements, forty years ; tenant improvements,
the remaining duration of the related lease ; furniture and fixtures, seven to ten years; machinery and equipment, ten years . Land is
not depreciated.
The
Company’s property and equipment are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from the undiscounted future cash flows of such asset over the anticipated
holding period. An impairment loss is measured by the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value.
Impairment
analyses are based on management’s current plans, asset holding periods, and currently available market information. If these criteria
change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and could have a material impact to the consolidated financial
statements.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, based on the results of management’s impairment analyses, there were no impairment
losses.
Leases
The
consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s adoption of ASC 842, Leases , as amended by subsequent accounting
standards updates, utilizing the modified retrospective transition approach.
ASC
842 is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions. The most prominent change from previous accounting guidance is
the requirement to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet representing the rights and
obligations created by operating leases that extend more than twelve months in which the Company is the lessee. The Company elected the
package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842. Accordingly, the Company accounted for its existing operating leases that commenced
before the effective date as operating leases under the new guidance without reassessing (i) whether the contracts contain a lease, (ii)
the classification of the leases (iii) the accounting for indirect costs as defined in ASC 842.
The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying
asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Non-lease components within lease agreements are accounted for separately. Right-of-use assets and obligations are recognized at the
commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, utilizing the Company’s incremental borrowing
rate. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company
will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets . Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when the net book value of such assets exceeds their expected
cash flows, in which case the assets are written down to fair value, which is determined based on discounted future cash flows or appraised
values.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , to measure the fair value of its financial instruments, and
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for disclosures on the fair value of its financial instruments. To increase consistency and comparability
in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value
hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level
1
Quoted
market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level
2
Pricing
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the
reporting date.
Level
3
Pricing
inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
10
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable, approximate their fair values
due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The
fair value of option and warrant issuances are determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and employing several inputs such as
the expected life of instrument, the exercise price, the expected risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the value of
the Company’s common stock on issuance date, and the expected volatility of such common stock. The following table summarizes the
range of inputs used by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
SCHEDULE OF ASSUMPTIONS USED

to 0.90 %
0.33 %
to 1.33 %
Dividend

0 %
The
expected life of an instrument is calculated using the simplified method pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based
Payment , which allows for using the mid-point between the vesting date and expiration date. The volatility factors are based on the
historical two-year movement of the Company’s common stock prior to an instrument’s issuance date. The risk-free interest
rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates with maturity periods similar to the expected instruments life on the issuance date.
The
Company amortizes the fair value of option and warrant issuances on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each instrument.
Extinguishment
of Liabilities
The
Company accounts for extinguishment of liabilities in accordance with ASC 405-20, Extinguishments of Liabilities. When the conditions
for extinguishment are met, the liabilities are written down to zero and a gain or loss is recognized.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method as set forth in ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation,
which requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the fair
value of the award on the grant date, with limited exceptions. Such value will be incurred as compensation expense over the period an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for
equity awards for which employees do not render the requisite service.
11
Income
Taxes
The
Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes . Under this method,
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis and financial
reporting basis of assets and liabilities, measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than
not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no
adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Related
Party Transactions
The
Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures , for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party
transactions.
In
accordance with ASC 850, the Company’s financial statements include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than
compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, as well as transactions that
are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements.
Comprehensive
Income
The
Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by ASC 220, Comprehensive Income , which establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were
no items of comprehensive income applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.
Earnings
Per Share
Earnings
per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share . Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing
net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted average number of potentially
dilutive securities during the period.
As
of June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were potentially dilutive securities convertible into shares of common stock comprised of (i) stock
options – convertible into 12,402,750 and 6,805,750 shares, respectively, (ii) warrants – convertible into 29,174,958 and
12,710,107 shares, respectively, (iii) Series B preferred stock – convertible into 4,908,333 shares in both periods, (iv) Series
C preferred stock – convertible into 31,081,080 and zero shares, respectively, (v) debentures payable – convertible into
zero and 46,410,593 shares, respectively, and (vi) promissory notes – convertible into 5,605,260 and 29,421,133 shares, respectively.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the aforementioned potentially dilutive securities increased the number of weighted average
common shares outstanding on a diluted basis by 45,990,319
shares and 43,583,063
shares, respectively, in accordance with ASC
260, and are included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for such periods. For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020, the potentially dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share, and in accordance with ASC
260, were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculations, resulting in identical basic and fully diluted net income per
share for that period.
Commitments
and Contingencies
The
Company follows ASC 450, Contingencies , which requires the Company to assess the likelihood that a loss will be incurred from
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events. Such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing
possible loss contingencies from legal proceedings or unasserted claims, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of such proceedings
or claims, and of the relief sought or expected to be sought.
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can
be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates
that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then
the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be
disclosed.
While
not assured, management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that a loss contingency will have material adverse
effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
12
Beneficial
Conversion Features on Convertible Debt
Convertible
instruments that are not bifurcated as a derivative pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , and not accounted for as a separate
equity component under the cash conversion guidance are evaluated to determine whether their conversion prices create an embedded beneficial
conversion feature at inception, or may become beneficial in the future due to potential adjustments.
A
beneficial conversion feature is a nondetachable conversion feature that is “in-the-money” at the commitment date. The in-the-money
portion, also known as the intrinsic value, is recorded in equity, with an offsetting discount to the carrying amount of convertible
debt to which it is attached. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt with adjustments to amortization
upon full or partial conversions of the debt.
Risk
and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks common to companies operating within the legal and medical marijuana industries, including, but not limited
to, federal laws, government regulations and jurisdictional laws.
Noncontrolling
Interests
Noncontrolling
interests represent third-party minority ownership of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to noncontrolling
interests is shown in the consolidated statements of operations; and the value of net assets owned by noncontrolling interests are presented
as a component of equity within the balance sheets.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

NOTE
3 – ACQUISITIONS
The
Harvest Foundation LLC
In
August 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 100 % of the ownership interests of The Harvest Foundation LLC (“Harvest”),
the Company’s cannabis-licensed client in the state of Nevada. The acquisition is conditioned upon legislative approval of the
transaction. At this time, the state has paused the processing of cannabis license transfers, without indicating when it will resume.
Upon the resumption of these activities and the ensuing approval by the state, the Company expects to consummate this transaction whereby
the operations of Harvest will be consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.
The
purchase price is comprised of the issuance of (i) 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in the aggregate, to two owners
of Harvest, which as a good faith deposit, were issued upon execution of the purchase agreement, (ii) $ 1.2 million of the Company’s
common stock at closing, based on the closing price of the common stock on the day prior to legislative approval of the transaction,
and (iii) warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of
the Company’s common stock on the day prior to legislative approval of the transaction. The issued shares were recorded at par
value. Such shares are restricted and will be returned to the Company in the event the transaction does not close by a date certain.
Kind
Therapeutics USA Inc.
In
the fall of 2016, the members of Kind Therapeutics USA Inc., the Company’s cannabis-licensed client in Maryland that holds licenses
for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of medical cannabis (“Kind”), and the Company agreed to a partnership/joint
venture whereby Kind would be owned 70 % by the Company and 30 % by the members of Kind, subject to approval by the Maryland Medical Cannabis
Commission (“MMCC”). Prior to finalizing the documents confirming the partnership/joint venture, in December 2018, the Company
and the members of Kind negotiated and entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) for the Company to acquire 100 %
of the membership interests of Kind. The MOU provides for a total purchase price of $ 6.3 million in cash, 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock, and other consideration. The acquisition is subject to approval by the MMCC, which will be applied for following the resolution
of the litigation with Kind discussed below.
Also
in December 2018, (i) MariMed Advisors Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and Kind entered into a management services
agreement to provide Kind with comprehensive management services in connection with the business and operations of Kind (“the MSA”),
and (ii) Mari Holdings MD LLC, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, entered into a 20 -year lease with Kind for Kind’s
utilization of the Company’s 180,000 square foot cultivation and production facility in Hagerstown, MD (“the Lease”),
which the Company purchased, designed, and developed for occupancy and use by Kind commencing in late 2017. Additionally, in October
2019, Mari Holdings MD LLC purchased a 9,000 square foot building in Anne Arundel County, MD, which is currently under constructions,
for the development of a dispensary which would be leased to Kind.
In
2019, the members of Kind sought to renegotiate the terms of the MOU and have subsequently sought to renege on both the original partnership/joint
venture and the MOU. The Company engaged with Kind in good faith in an attempt to reach updated terms acceptable to both parties, however
Kind failed to reciprocate in good faith, resulting in an impasse. Incrementally, both parties through counsel further sought to resolve
the impasse, however such initiative resulted in both parties commencing legal proceedings. As a result, the consummation of this acquisition
has been delayed and may not ultimately be completed. The litigation is further discussed in Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies .

Flowr
Corp. (formerly Terrace Inc.)
In
December 2020, Terrace Inc., a Canadian cannabis entity in which the Company had an ownership interest of 8.95 % (“Terrace”),
was acquired by Flowr Corp. (TSX.V: FLWR; OTC: FLWPF), a Toronto-headquartered cannabis company with operations in Canada, Europe, and
Australia (“Flowr”). Under the terms of the deal, each shareholder of Terrace received 0.4973 of a share in Flowr for each
Terrace share held.
This
investment is carried at it fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the decrease in fair value of this
investment of approximately $ 415,000
and $ 664,000 ,
respectively, was reflected in Change In Fair Value Of Investments
on the statement of operations.
MembersRSVP
LLC
In
August 2018, the Company invested $ 300,000 and issued 378,259 shares of its common stock, valued at approximately $ 915,000 , in exchange
for a 23 % ownership in MembersRSVP LLC (“MRSVP”), an entity that has developed cannabis-specific customer relationship management
software, branded under the name Sprout.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020, the investment was accounted for under the equity method. Based on the Company’s
equity in MRSVP’s net loss during such period, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $ 33,000
which comprised the balance of Loss
on Equity Investments on the statement of operations for the six month ended June 30, 2020.
In
January 2021, the Company and MRSVP entered into an agreement whereby the Company assigned and transferred membership interests comprising
an 11 % ownership in MRSVP in exchange for a release from all further obligation by the Company to make future investments or payments
and certain other non-monetary consideration. Following the interest transfer, the Company’s ownership interest in MRSVP was reduced
to 12 % on a fully diluted basis.
As
part of the agreement, the Company relinquished its right to appoint a member to the board of MRSVP. In light of the Company no
longer having the ability to exercise significant influence over MRSVP, the Company discontinued accounting for this
investment under the equity method as of January 1, 2021. The Company’s share of MRSVP’s earnings and losses
recorded under the equity method prior to January 1, 2020 will remain part of the carrying amount of the
investment.
In
accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities , the Company elected the measurement alternative to value this
equity investment without a readily determinable fair value. Following the discontinuation of equity accounting, there has been
no impairment to this investment, nor any observable price changes to investments in the entity.
The
Company will continue to apply the alternative measurement guidance until this investment does not qualify to be so measured. The Company
may subsequently elect to measure this investment at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

In
November 2017, the Company entered into a 10 -year
mortgage agreement with Bank of New England in the amount of $ 4,895,000
(the “Initial Mortgage”) for the
purchase of a 138,000
square foot industrial property in New Bedford,
Massachusetts, within which the Company has built a 70,000
square foot cannabis cultivation and processing
facility. Pursuant to the Initial Mortgage, the Company made monthly payments of (i) interest-only from the mortgage date through May
2019 at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2 % ,
with a floor of 6.25 %
per annum, and (ii) principal and interest payments
from May 2019 to July 2020 at a rate equal to the prime rate on May 2, 2019 plus 2 % ,
with a floor of 6.25 %
per annum. In July 2020, at which time the Initial
Mortgage had a remaining principal balance of approximately $ 4.8
million, the parties consummated an amended and
restated mortgage agreement, secured by the Company’s properties in New Bedford and Middleboro in the amount of $ 13.0
million bearing interest at a rate of 6.5 %
per annum that matures
in August 2025 (the “Refinanced Mortgage”).
Proceeds from the Refinanced Mortgage were used to pay down the Initial Mortgage and approximately $ 7.2
million of promissory notes as further described
below. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the Refinanced Mortgage approximated $ 12.7
million and $ 12.8
million, respectively, of which approximately
$ 346,000
and $ 335,000 ,
respectively, was current.
The
Company maintains another mortgage with Bank of New England for the 2016 purchase of a 45,070
square foot building in Wilmington, Delaware
which was developed into a cannabis seed-to-sale facility and is currently leased to the Company’s cannabis-licensed client in
that state. The mortgage
matures in 2031 with monthly principal and interest
payments at a rate of 5.25 %
per annum through September 2021, and thereafter
the rate adjusting every five years to the then prime rate plus 1.5 %
with a floor of 5.25 %
per annum. At June 30, 2021 and December 31,
2020, the outstanding principal balance on this mortgage approximated $ 1.5
million and $ 1.6
million, respectively, of which approximately
$ 117,000
and $ 114,000 ,
respectively, was current.
19
In
May 2016, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement with DuQuoin State Bank (“DSB”) for the purchase of two properties
which the Company developed into two 3,400
square foot free-standing retail dispensaries
in Illinois. On May 5 th of each year, this mortgage is due to be repaid unless it is renewed for another year at a rate determined
by DSB’s executive committee. The mortgage was renewed in May 2021 at a rate of 6.75 %
per annum. At June 30, 2021 and December 31,
2020, the outstanding principal balance on this mortgage approximated $ 793,000
and $ 815,000
respectively, of which approximately $ 32,000
and $ 31,000 ,
respectively, was current.
In February 2020, the Company entered into a
mortgage agreement with South Porte Bank for the purchase and development of a property in Mt. Vernon, IL. Pursuant to amendments to
the mortgage agreement, the Company is making interest-only monthly payments at a rate of 5.5 %
per annum through the amended maturity date of August 31, 2021 , at which time the parties are expected to enter into a one-year renewal agreement.
Promissory Notes Issued Pursuant to
an Exchange Agreement
In
February 2020, pursuant to an exchange agreement as further described in Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity , the Company issued
two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $ 4.4 million, bearing interest at 16.5 % per annum and maturing
in August 2021 (the “$4.4M Notes”), in exchange for a loan in the same amount. At December 31, 2020, the principal and accrued
interest balance of the $4.4M Notes approximated $ 4.6 million. In March 2021, utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the Hadron transaction
discussed in Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity, the $4.4M Notes were fully paid down, along with accrued interest through the repayment
date.
Promissory Notes Issued by the Company
and its MariMed Hemp Inc. Subsidiary
In
June 2019, the Company and MariMed Hemp Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“MMH”), issued a secured promissory note in the
principal amount of $ 10.0 million (the “$10M Note”) to an unaffiliated party (the “Noteholder”). The $10M Note
provided for the repayment of principal plus a payment of $ 1.5 million (the “$1.5M Payment”) on the maturity date of January
31, 2020 . Such payment was charged to interest expense over the life of the $10M Note.
As
part of the $10M Note transaction, the Company issued three-year warrants to purchase up to 375,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $ 4.50 per share to the Noteholder. The fair value of these warrants on the issuance date of approximately $ 601,000 was recorded
as a discount to the $10M Note. Approximately $ 523,000 of the warrant discount was amortized to interest expense in 2019, with the remainder
in January 2020.
The
Company entered into an amendment agreement with the Noteholder in February 2020, whereby the Company and MMH issued an amended and restated
promissory note maturing in June 2020 in the principal amount of $ 11,500,000 (the “$11.5M Note”), comprised of the principal
amount of the $10M Note and the $1.5M Payment. The $11.5M Note bore interest at a rate of 15 % per annum, requiring periodic interest
payments and minimum amortization payments of $ 3,000,000 in the aggregate, which the Company made in the first half of 2020.
The
Company entered into a second amendment agreement with the Noteholder in June 2020, whereby (i) $ 352,000
of outstanding principal of the $11.5M Note was
converted into 1,900,000
shares of the Company’s common stock (which
did not result in a material extinguishment gain or loss as the conversion price approximated the price of the Company’s common
stock on the agreement date), and (ii) the Company and MMH issued a second amended and restated promissory note in the principal amount
of approximately $ 8.8
million, comprised of the outstanding principal
and unpaid interest balances of the $11.5M Note, plus an extension fee of approximately $ 330,000 , bearing interest at a rate of 15 %
per annum and maturing
in June 2022 (the “$8.8M Note”).
In addition, the Company issued three-year
warrants to the Noteholder to purchase up to 750,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$ 0.50
per share. The fair value of these warrants on
the issuance date of approximately $ 66,000
was recorded as a discount to the $8.8M Note,
and amortized to interest expense over the life of the $8.8M Note.
The
Company made a required principal payment of $ 4,000,000 in
July 2020 with a portion of proceeds of the Refinanced Mortgage discussed earlier in this footnote, and additional principal
payments of $ 600,000 in the aggregate in calendar 2020. Accordingly, the carrying value of the $8.8M Note was approximately $ 4.2 million
at December 31, 2020.
The
Noteholder has the option to convert the $8.8M Note, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion
price of $ 0.30
per share, subject to certain conversion limitations.
This non-detachable conversion feature of the $8.8M Note had no intrinsic value on the agreement date, and therefore no
beneficial conversion feature arose. In March
2021, the Noteholder converted $ 1,000,000 of principal and approximately $ 10,000 of accrued interest into 3,365,972 shares of the Company’s
common stock, reducing the carrying value of the $8.8M Note to approximately $ 3.2 million.
The
Company entered into a third amendment agreement with the Noteholder in April 2021 whereby the Company and MMH issued a third amended
and restated promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $ 3.2
million (the “$3.2M Note”) which
bears interest at a rate of 0.12 %
per annum and matures
in April 2023 . The Noteholder has the option
to convert, subject to certain conversion limitations, all or a portion of the $3.2M Note into shares of the Company’s common stock
at a conversion price of $ 0.35
per share, such conversion price subject to adjustment
in the event of certain transactions by the Company. The third amended agreement resulted in a decrease in the fair value of the embedded
conversion feature of the $3.2M Note and therefore no accounting was required for such conversion feature.
On or after the one-year anniversary of the $3.2M Note, upon twenty days prior written notice
to the Noteholder, the Company can prepay all of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest of the $3.2M Note, along with a
prepayment premium equal to 10 % of
the principal amount being prepaid. The Noteholder shall remain entitled to convert the $3.2M Note during such notice period. On or
after the one-year anniversary of the $3.2M Note, the Noteholder has the right to require the redemption in cash of up to $ 125,000 of
principal and unpaid interest thereon per calendar month.
The Noteholder converted, during the
second quarter of 2021, $ 1,250,000
of principal into 3,571,428
shares of the Company’s common stock, reducing the carrying value of the $3.2M Note to approximately $ 1.96
million at June 30, 2021. All of the conversions in 2021 were effected in accordance with the terms of the respective note agreements, and therefore
the Company was not required to record a gain or loss on such conversions.
20
Promissory Note Issued by MMH
In
April 2019, MMH issued a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $ 1,000,000
(the “$1M Note”) to an unaffiliated
party. The principal balance plus a payment of $ 180,000 ,
initially due in December 2019, was extended to March 2020 in accordance with the terms of the $1M Note, requiring an additional payment
of $ 30,000
(the “$30,000 Fee”). Prior to the
extended due date, the parties agreed that the $1M Note would continue on a month-to-month basis bearing interest at a rate of 15 %
per annum. In September 2020, the Company paid
down $ 500,000
of principal on the $1M Note, reducing the
carrying value of the $1M Note to $ 500,000 at December 31, 2020. In March 2021, utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the
Hadron transaction discussed in Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity, the remaining principal of $ 500,000
was paid down.
Promissory Notes Issued for Operating Liquidity
In
March 2019, the Company raised $ 6.0 million through the issuance of a secured promissory note (the “$6M Note”) to an unaffiliated
party (the “Holding Party”) bearing interest at a rate of 13 % per annum and a service fee of $ 900,000 (the “Service
Fee”). The $6M Note’s initial maturity date of December 31, 2019 was extended to April 2020 in accordance with its terms,
with the Company paying a $ 300,000 extension fee in December 2019 which was charged to interest expense.
The
Company and the Holding Party entered into a note extension agreement in April 2020 (the “Initial Extension Agreement”) pursuant
to which (i) the $6M Note’s due date was extended to September 2020, and the $6M Note was modified to include unpaid accrued interest
of $ 845,000 through the modification date and interest at a rate of 10 % per annum (the “$6.8M Note”), and (iii) a new convertible
note in the amount of $ 900,000 (the “$900k Note”) was issued evidencing the Service Fee, bearing interest at a rate of 12 %
per annum. The Company satisfied the $ 900 k Note and accrued interest of $ 20,100 in full as of the June 2020 maturity date by the payment

shares of the Company’s common stock, in payment of the other half of the principal and accrued interest.
Previous
to the $6M Note, the Company raised $ 3.0
million from the issuance of a secured promissory
note to the Holding Party in September 2018, bearing interest at a rate of 10 %

for an additional six months in accordance with its terms, with the interest rate increasing to 12% per annum during the extension period.
Pursuant to the Initial Extension Agreement, the maturity date of the $3M Note was extended to December 2020 .
As
part of the $3M Note transaction, the Company issued three-year warrants to the Holding Party’s designees to purchase 750,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 1.80 per share. The Company recorded a discount on the $3M Note of approximately
$ 1,511,000 from the allocation of note proceeds to the warrants based on the fair value of such warrants on the issuance date. This discount
was amortized to interest expense in 2018 and 2019.

million of principal and all outstanding accrued
interest of approximately $ 333,000
on the $6.8M Note; (ii) issued an amended and
restated senior secured promissory note in the principal amount of $ 5,845,000
(the “$5.8M Note”) to replace the
$6.8M Note; and (iii) amended and restated the $3M Note (the “New $3M Note”, and together with the $5.8M Note, the “Amended
Notes”). The Amended Notes bear interest at a rate of 12 %
per annum with maturity
dates in September 2022 , and can be prepaid in
whole or in part at any time.

purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.25 per share; (ii) paid the Holding Party
a fee of $ 100,000 ; and (iii) extended the security interest in certain Company properties and the pledge of certain equity interests
to secure the Amended Notes. The Company recorded a discount on the Amended Notes of approximately $ 573,000 based on the fair value of
such warrants on the issuance date, of which approximately $ 75,000 was amortized as of the end of 2020, and the remainder to be amortized
over the life of the Amended Notes. Accordingly, the carrying value of the Amended Notes approximated $ 8.3 million at December 31, 2020,
of which $ 1.9 million was current.
The
Company made a required principal payment of $ 400,000
on the $5.8M Note in February 2021. In
March 2021, utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the Hadron transaction discussed in Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity, the

As
of June 30, 2021, the holder of the $21M Debentures (the “Holder”) had converted all of the $21M Debentures, along with accrued
interest, into the Company’s common stock at conversion prices equal to 80 %
of a calculated average, as determined in accordance
with the terms of the $21M Debentures, of the daily volume-weighted price during the ten consecutive trading days preceding the date
of conversion. Specifically, over the life of the $21M Debentures, the Holder converted, in several transactions, an aggregate of
$ 21.0 million of principal and approximately $ 836,000 of accrued interest into 92,704,035 shares of common stock at conversion prices
ranging from $ 0.11 to $ 3.06 per share. Of these conversions, (i) during 2020, an aggregate of $ 9.7 million of principal and approximately
$ 365,000 of accrued interest was converted into 77,766,559 shares of common stock at conversion prices ranging from $ 0.11 and $ 0.34 per
share, and (ii) during 2021, an aggregate of $ 1.3 million of principal and approximately $ 56,000 of accrued interest was converted into
4,610,645 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $ 0.29 per share.
All
of the aforementioned conversions were effected in accordance with the terms of the convertible debenture agreement, and therefore
the Company was not required to record a gain or loss on such conversions.
The conversions were limited in any given month to certain agreed-upon amounts based on the conversion price, and the Holder was
also limited from beneficially owning more than 4.99 %
of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
In
conjunction with the issuance of the $21M Debentures, the Company issued the Holder three -year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,354,675
shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise prices ranging from $ 0.75 to $ 5.50 per share, of which warrants to purchase 180,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.75 were issued in 2020. The fair value of the warrants of approximately $ 2.2 million
was recorded as a discount to the carrying amount of the $21M Debentures and are amortized to interest expense over the respective term
of the individual debentures comprising the $21M Debentures.
23
Based
on the conversion prices of the $21M Debentures in relation to the market value of the Company’s common stock, the $21M Debentures
provided the Holder with a beneficial conversion feature, as the embedded conversion option was in-the-money on the commitment date.
The aggregate intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of approximately $ 10.2 million was recorded as a discount to the carrying
amount of the $21M Debentures, and amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the individual debentures comprising the
$21M Debentures.
Pursuant
to the terms of a registration rights agreement with the Holder, entered into concurrently with the SPA, the Company agreed to provide
the Holder with certain registration rights with respect to shares issued pursuant to the terms of the SPA and the $21M Debentures.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, amortization of the beneficial conversion features, after adjustment for the aforementioned conversions,
approximated $ 3.2
million; amortization of the warrant discounts
approximated $ 805,000 ;
amortization of original issue discounts approximated $ 321,000 ;
and interest expense approximated $ 224,000 .
At December 31, 2020, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the $21M Debentures was $ 1.3
million. Also on such date, the unamortized balances
of the beneficial conversion features, the warrant discounts, and original issue discounts were approximately $ 177,000 ,
$ 39,000 ,
and $ 52,000 ,
respectively. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the $21M Debentures approximated $1,032,000,
all of which was current.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2021, amortization of the beneficial conversion features, after adjustment for the aforementioned
conversions, approximated $ 177,000 ;
amortization of the warrant discounts approximated $ 39,000 ;
amortization of original issue discounts approximated $ 52,000 ;
and interest expense approximated $ 1,000 .

the sixty-day VWAP is greater than $0.50 per share, the Company shall have the option to (i) convert all shares of Series B convertible
preferred stock into common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the quotient of $ 3.00 per share divided by the sixty-day VWAP,
or (ii) pay cash to the Series B Holders equal to $3.00 per share, or (iii) convert all shares of Series B convertible preferred stock
into common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the sixty-day VWAP per share and pay cash to the Series B Holders at the difference
between $3.00 per share and the sixty-day VWAP per share.

Company shall at all times when the Series B convertible preferred stock is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B convertible preferred stock, such number of its
duly authorized shares of common stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series B

Terminated
Employment Agreement
An
employment agreement which commenced in 2012 with Thomas Kidrin, the former CEO of the Company, which provided Mr. Kidrin with salary,
car allowances, stock options, life insurance, and other employee benefits, was terminated by the Company in 2017 . At June 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, the Company maintained an accrual of approximately $ 1,043,000 for any amounts that may be owed under this agreement,
although the Company contends that such agreement is not valid and no amount is due.
In
July 2019, Mr. Kidrin, also a former director of the Company, filed a complaint in the Massachusetts Superior Court, which alleges the
Company failed to pay all wages owed to him and breached the employment agreement, and requests multiple damages, attorney fees, costs,
and interest. The Company has moved to dismiss certain counts of the complaint and has asserted counterclaims against Mr. Kidrin alleging
breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, money had and received, and unjust enrichment. The Company believes that the allegations
in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter and prosecute its counterclaims.
While
the Company’s motion to dismiss was pending, the parties reached a settlement in principle and the court has issued a nisi
order of dismissal. The parties have not yet competed the settlement agreement. If the parties are for any reason unable to do so, then
the Company will continue vigorously to defend this matter and prosecute its counterclaims.
Maryland
Acquisition
As
previously disclosed in Note 3 – Acquisitions , Kind has sought to renege on the parties’ original agreement to a partnership/joint
venture made in the fall of 2016 and subsequent MOU. The Company engaged with the members of Kind in good faith in an attempt to reach
updated terms acceptable to both parties, however the members of Kind failed to reciprocate in good faith, resulting in an impasse. Incrementally,
both parties through counsel further sought to resolve the impasse, however such initiative resulted in both parties commencing legal
proceedings.
In
November 2019, Kind commenced an action by filing a complaint against the Company in the Circuit Court for Washington County, MD captioned
Kind Therapeutics USA, Inc. vs. MariMed, Inc., et al. (Case No. C-21-CV-19-000670) (the “Complaint”). The Complaint, as amended,
alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, intentional misrepresentation, rescission, civil conspiracy,
and seeking an accounting and declaratory judgment and damages in excess of $ 75,000 . On November 15, 2019, the Company filed counterclaims
against Kind and a third-party complaint against the members of Kind (Jennifer DiPietro, Susan Zimmerman, and Sophia Leonard-Burns) and
William Tham (the “Counterclaims”). The Counterclaims, as amended, allege breach of contract with respect to each of the
partnership/joint venture agreement, the MOU, the MSA, the Lease, and the Licensing and Manufacturing Agreement (“LMA”),
unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance, fraud in the inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, and seeks reformation
of the MSA, a declaratory judgment regarding enforceability of the partnership/joint venture arrangement and/or the MOU, specific performance
of the parties’ various contracts, and the establishment of a constructive trust for the Company’s benefit. The Counterclaims
also seek damages.
At
the time the Complaint and Counterclaims were filed, both parties, MariMed (including MariMed Holdings MD, LLC and MariMed Advisors Inc.)
and Kind, brought motions for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. By Opinion and Order entered on November 21,
2019, the Court denied both parties motions for a temporary restraining order. In its opinion, the Court specifically noted that, contrary
to Kind’s allegations, the MSA and the Lease “appear to be independent, valid and enforceable contracts.”
A
hearing on the parties’ cross-motions for preliminary injunction was held in September 2020 and November 2020. Also in November
2020, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment as to the Lease, determining that the Lease is valid and enforceable.
Based on this ruling, the Company is seeking judgment at trial in the amount of approximately $ 5.4 million for past due rent and expenses
owed by Kind under the Lease.
In
December 2020, the Court entered a Preliminary Injunction Order, accompanied by a Memorandum Opinion, denying Kind’s motion for
a preliminary injunction (which Kind had withdrawn at the conclusion of the hearing) and granting the Company’s request for preliminary
injunction. The Court determined that the Company is likely to succeed with respect to the validity and enforceability of the MSA and
the LMA, that the Company would suffer substantial and irreparable harm without the preliminary injunction, and that the balance of convenience
and public interest both warranted the issuance of a preliminary injunction in the Company’s favor. The Court ordered, inter alia,
that the MSA and LMA are in effect pending judgment after trial on the merits, and that Kind and its members, and their attorneys, agents,
employees, and representatives, are prohibited from (a) interfering with the Company’s duties and responsibilities under the MSA
and (b) withdrawing funds, making any distribution, paying any loans, returning any capital, or making any payment towards a debt from
any Kind bank or other financial account(s) without written consent of the Company or Order of the Court, thereby preserving the Company’s
management of Kind’s operations and finances at least through the jury trial currently scheduled to begin on March 28, 2022. Further,
the Court ordered Kind to pay management and licensing fees to the Company beginning January 1, 2021. Kind has noted an appeal of the
Order to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, which is pending; however, the preliminary injunction order remains in effect.
In
addition to the favorable rulings on the Lease, MSA, and LMA, the Company believes that its claims with respect to the 70%/30% partnership/joint
venture agreement are meritorious. Further, the Company believes that Kind’s claims against the Company are without merit. On March
18, 2021, the Court issued an opinion and order on Kind’s motion for summary judgment finding that the MOU was not enforceable
by the Company against Kind as a final binding agreement. The Company is evaluating an appeal of this ruling which under Maryland rules
can only be pursued upon final judgment.
In
March 2021, the Kind parties filed motions to modify the preliminary injunction order or, alternatively, for direction from the Court
based on Kind’s claim to have terminated the MSA. The Company has opposed both motions and has filed a petition for civil contempt
against the Kind parties for interfering with the Company’s management of Kind. The motions and petition are pending, and the preliminary
injunction remains in effect.
The
Company intends to aggressively prosecute and defend the action. Trial has been scheduled from March 28, 2022 to April 11, 2022.
DiPietro
Lawsuit
In
August 2020, Jennifer DiPietro, directly and derivatively on behalf of Mari Holdings MD LLC (“Mari-MD”) and Mia Development
LLC (“Mia”), commenced a suit against the Company’s CEO, CFO, and wholly-owned subsidiary MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”),
in Suffolk Superior Court, Massachusetts.
33
In
this action, DiPietro, a party to prior ongoing litigation in Maryland involving the Company and Kind as discussed above, brings claims
for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, fraud in the inducement, aiding and abetting the alleged breach of fiduciary duty,
and also seeks access to books and records and an accounting related to her investments in Mari-MD and Mia. DiPietro seeks unspecified
money damages and rescission of her interest in Mari-MD, but not of her investment in Mia, which has provided substantial returns to
her as a member.
The
Company has answered the complaint and MMA filed counterclaims against DiPietro on its own behalf and derivatively on behalf of
Mari-MD for breach of her fiduciary duties to each of those entities, and for tortious interference with Mari-MD’s lease
and MMA’s management services agreement with Kind.
The
Company believes that the allegations of the complaint are without merit and intends to defend the case vigorously. The Company’s
counterclaim seeks monetary damages from DiPietro, including the Company’s legal fees in the Kind action.
Bankruptcy
Claim
During
2019, the Company’s MMH subsidiary sold and delivered hemp seed inventory to GenCanna Global Inc., a Kentucky-based cultivator,
producer, and distributor of hemp (“GenCanna”). At the time of sale, the Company owned a 33.5 % ownership interest in GenCanna.
The Company recorded a related party receivable of approximately $ 29.0 million from the sale, which was fully reserved on December 31,
2019.
In
February 2020, GenCanna USA, GenCanna’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary, under pressure from certain of its creditors including
MGG Investment Group LP, GenCanna’s senior lender (“MGG”), agreed to convert a previously-filed involuntary bankruptcy
proceeding with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of Kentucky (the “Bankruptcy Court”) into a voluntary Chapter
11 proceeding. In addition, GenCanna and GenCanna USA’s subsidiary, Hemp Kentucky LLC (collectively with GenCanna and GenCanna
USA, the “GenCanna Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court.
In
May 2020, after an abbreviated solicitation/bid/sale process, the Bankruptcy Court, over numerous objections by creditors and shareholders
of the GenCanna Debtors which included the Company, entered an order authorizing the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
the GenCanna Debtors to MGG. After the consummation of the sale of all or substantially all of their assets and business, the GenCanna
Debtors n/k/a OGGUSA, Inc. and OGG, Inc. (the “OGGUSA Debtors”) filed their liquidating plan of reorganization (the “Liquidating
Plan”) to collect various prepetition payments and commercial claims against third parties, liquidate the remaining assets of the
ODDUSA Debtors, and make payments to creditors. The Company and the unsecured creditors committee filed objections to such Liquidating
Plan, including opposition to the release of litigation against the OGGUSA Debtors’ senior lender, MGG, for lender liability, equitable
subordination, and return of preference. As a part of such plan confirmation process, the OGGUSA Debtors filed various objections to
proofs of claims filed by various creditors, including the proof of claim in the amount of approximately $ 33.6 million filed by the Company.
Through intense and lengthy negotiations with the OGGUSA Debtors and the unsecured creditors committee regarding the objections to the
Liquidating Plan, the Company reached an agreement with the OGGUSA Debtors to withdraw the objections to the Company’s claim and
to have it approved by the Bankruptcy Court as a general unsecured claim in the amount of $ 31.0 million.
Since
the approval of the Liquidating Plan, the OGGUSA Debtors have been in the process of liquidating the remaining assets, negotiating and
prosecuting objections to other creditors’ claims, and pursuing the collection of accounts receivable and Chapter 5 bankruptcy
avoidance claims. As of the date of this filing, there is insufficient information as to what portion, if any, of the Company’s
allowed claim will be paid upon the completion of the liquidation of the remaining assets of the OGGUSA Debtors.

NOTE
20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Metropolis
Property Purchase
In
July 2021, the Company purchased the land and building in which it operates its cannabis dispensary in Metropolis, IL. The purchase price
consisted of 750,000
shares of the Company’s common stock,
which was valued at $ 705,000
on the date of the transaction, and payoff
of the seller’s remaining mortgage of approximately $ 1.6
million. In connection with this purchase,
the Company entered into another mortgage agreement with DuQuoin State Bank in the amount of $ 2.7
million that matures in July
2041 and initially bears interest at a
rate of 6.25 %
per annum, and adjusted each year based
on a certain interest rate index plus a margin.
As
part of this transaction, the seller was provided with a 30 %
ownership interest in Mari Holdings Metropolis
LLC (“Metro”), the Company’s subsidiary that will own the property and related mortgage obligation, reducing the Company’s
ownership interest in Metro to 70%.
Employment

Effective
July 1, 2021, the Company entered into employment agreements with its CEO, CFO, and COO, expiring in June

Note converted approximately $ 387,000

Overview
General
MariMed
Inc. (the “Company”) is a multi-state operator in the United States cannabis industry. The Company develops, operates, manages,
and optimizes over 300,000 square feet of state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production and dispensing
of medicinal and recreational cannabis. The Company also licenses its proprietary brands of cannabis and hemp-infused products, along
with other top brands, in several domestic markets and overseas.
36
Upon
its entry into the cannabis industry in 2014, the Company was an advisory firm that procured state-issued cannabis licenses on behalf
of its clients, developed cannabis facilities which it leased to these newly-licensed companies, and provided industry-leading expertise
and oversight in all aspects of their cannabis operations. The Company also provided its clients with as ongoing regulatory, accounting,
real estate, human resources, and administrative services.
Thereafter, the Company made the strategic
decision to transition from a consulting business to a direct owner and operator of cannabis licenses in high-growth states. Core to
this transition is the acquisition and consolidation of the Company’s clients (the “Consolidation Plan”). Among several
benefits, the Consolidation Plan would present a simpler, more transparent financial picture of the full breadth of the Company’s
efforts, with a clearer representation of the revenues, earnings, and other financial metrics the Company has generated for its clients.
The Company has played a key role in the successes of these entities, from the securing of their cannabis licenses, to the development
of facilities that are models of excellence, to funding their operations, and to providing operational and corporate guidance. Accordingly,
the Company believes it is well suited to own these facilities and manage the continuing growth of their operations.
To
date, acquisitions of its client businesses in Massachusetts and Illinois have been completed and establish the Company as a fully
integrated seed-to-sale multi-state operator (“MSO”). The acquisitions of the remaining entities located in Maryland,
Nevada, and Delaware are at various stages of completion and subject to each state’s laws governing the ownership transfer of cannabis
licenses, which in the case of Delaware requires a modification of current cannabis ownership laws to permit for-profit ownership. Meanwhile,
the Company continues to expand these businesses and maximize the Company’s revenue from rental income, management fees, and licensing
royalties.
The transition to
becoming a fully integrated MSO is part of a strategic growth plan (the “Strategic Growth Plan”) the Company is implementing
to drive its revenues and profitability. The Strategic Growth Plan has four components: (i) complete the Consolidation Plan, (ii) increase
revenues in existing states, by spending capital to increase the Company’s cultivation and production capacity, and develop additional
assets within those states, (iii) expand the Company’s
footprint in additional legal cannabis states through new applications and acquisitions of existing cannabis businesses; and (iv) expand
the Company’s brand portfolio and licensing revenue, by continuing to build its portfolio of leading brands and license its brands
in other legal states.
As
to its products, the Company has created its own brands of cannabis
flower, concentrates, and precision-dosed products utilizing proprietary strains and formulations. These products are developed by the
Company in cooperation with state-licensed operators who meet the Company’s strict standards, including all natural—not artificial
or synthetic—ingredients. The Company licenses its brands and product formulations only to certified manufacturing professionals
who follow state cannabis laws and adhere to the Company’s precise scientific formulations and trademarked product recipes.
The
Company’s proprietary cannabis genetics produce flowers and concentrates under the brand name Nature’s Heritage™, and
cannabis-infused products under the brand names Kalm Fusion®, in the form of chewable tablets and drink powder mixes, and the award-winning 1
Betty’s Eddies® brand of all natural fruit chews. Both cannabis-infused brands are top selling products in Maryland and
Massachusetts 2 and the Company intends to introduce additional products under these brands in 2021.
The
Company also has exclusive sublicensing rights in certain states to distribute the Binske® line of cannabis products crafted from
premium artisan ingredients, the Healer™ line of medical full-spectrum cannabis tinctures, and the clinically tested medicinal
cannabis strains developed in Israel by global medical cannabis research pioneer Tikun Olam™. The Company intends to continue licensing
and distributing its brands as well as other top brands in the Company’s current markets.

Awards won by the Company’s Betty’s Eddies® brand include LeafLink 2020 Industry Innovator, Explore Maryland Cannabis
2020 Edible of the Year, and LeafLink 2019 Best Selling Medical Product.

Revenues
The
Company’s revenues are primarily comprised of the following categories:
●
Product
Sales – direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products by the Company’s retail dispensaries and
wholesale operations in Massachusetts and Illinois, and sales of hemp and hemp-infused products. An increase in product sales is
expected from the Company’s planned cannabis-licensee acquisitions in Maryland, Nevada, and Delaware (upon this state’s
amendment to permit for-profit ownership of cannabis entities).
●
Real
Estate – rental income and additional rental fees generated from leasing of the Company’s state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant
cannabis facilities to its cannabis-licensed clients.
●
Management
– fees for providing the Company’s cannabis clients with comprehensive oversight of their cannabis cultivation, production,
and dispensary operations. Along with this oversight, the Company provides human resources, regulatory, marketing, and other corporate
services.
●
Supply
Procurement – the Company maintains volume discounts with top national vendors of cultivation and production resources, supplies,
and equipment, which the Company acquires and resells to its clients or third parties within the cannabis industry.
●
Licensing
– royalties from the licensed distribution of the Company’s branded products including Kalm Fusion® and Betty’s
Eddies®, and from sublicensing of contracted brands including Healer and Tikun Olam, to regulated dispensaries throughout the
United States and Puerto Rico.
Expenses
The
Company classifies its expenses into three general categories:
●
Cost
of Revenues – the direct costs associated with the generation of the Company’s revenues.
●
Operating
Expenses – comprised of the sub-categories of personnel, marketing and promotion, general and administrative, and bad debts.
●
Non-operating
Income and Expenses – comprised of the sub-categories of interest expense, interest income, losses on obligations settled
with equity, and changes in the fair value of non-consolidated investments.
38
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company produced significant improvements to its liquidity in the reported periods:
●
Cash
and cash equivalents increased five-fold to approximately $17.4 million at June 30, 2021, from approximately $3.0 million
at December 31, 2020.
●
Working
capital increased to approximately $20.9 million at June 30, 2021 from a working capital deficit of approximately $2.2 million
at December 31, 2020, a positive swing of approximately $23.1 million.
●
In
the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s operating activities provided positive cash flow of approximately
$17.6 million, compared to approximately $540,000 in the same period in 2020, an increase of approximately $17.1
million.
The
aforementioned improvements were primarily the result of (i) increases in revenues and profitability generated by the Company’s
cannabis operations in the states of Illinois and Massachusetts, acquired as part of the Company’s Consolidation Plan to transition
from a consulting business to a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations, and (ii) $23.0 million
of gross proceeds raised by the Company under a financing facility of up to $46.0 million pursuant to a securities purchase agreement
with Hadron Healthcare Master Fund (“Hadron”) in exchange for newly-designated Series C convertible preferred stock and warrants.
Additionally,
the section below entitled Non-GAAP Measurement discusses an additional financial measure not defined by GAAP which the Company’s
management uses to evaluate liquidity.
Operating
Activities
Net cash provided by operating
activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 approximated $17.6 million, compared to approximately $540,000
in the same period in 2020. The year-over-year improvement was primarily attributable to the increase in cannabis-derived profits generated
by the acquired operations in Illinois and Massachusetts.
Investing
Activities
Net cash used in
investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 approximated $8.5 million, compared to approximately $2.6
million in the same period in 2020. The increase was due to development of the Company’s facilities in Milford, DE and
Metropolis, IL, improvements to facilities in Massachusetts, and amounts paid to renew cannabis licenses.
Financing
Activities
Net cash provided by financing
activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 approximated $5.3 million, compared to approximately $3.6 million
in the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to the net proceeds from the aforementioned Hadron transaction of
approximately $22.6 million, offset by the paydown of debt and obligations of approximately $17.3 million in 2021, compared
to debt financings of approximately $7.1 million in the same period of 2020, offset by debt paydowns of approximately $3.3 million in
the period.
The remaining proceeds from the Hadron transaction will fund construction and upgrades of certain of the Company’s
owned and managed facilities. The balance of the committed facility of up to an additional $23.0 million is intended to fund the Company’s
specific targeted acquisitions provided such acquisitions are contracted in 2021 and consummated, including obtaining the necessary regulatory
approvals, no later than the end of 2022.
39
Results
of Operations
Three
months ended June 30, 2021 compared to three months ended June 30, 2020
Revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2021
approximated $32.6 million compared to approximately $9.6 million in the same period in 2020, an increase of approximately
$23.0 million or 238.9%. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the four-fold growth of cannabis sales to approximately
$28.7 million in the current period, compared to approximately $7.0 million from the same period a year ago. This growth
was attributable to sales increases of approximately (i) $7.2 million generated by the Company’s cultivation and
production facility in New Bedford, MA; this location commenced full scale selling operations in the second quarter of 2020 and saw
a year-over-year six-fold increase in wholesale customers, (ii) $7.9 million generated by the Company’s dispensary
in Mt. Vernon, IL and Metropolis, IL, which were not yet operational in the second quarter of 2020, (iii) $2.2
million increase generated by the Company’s dispensaries in Anna, IL and Harrisburg, IL due to 43% and 85%
increases, respectively, in recreational customer visits year-over-year, and (iv) $4.4 million generated from the Company’s
Middleboro, MA dispensary which commenced recreational sales in the third quarter of 2020 and also saw a three-fold increase in
medical customers. The year-over-year increase in revenues was also the result of continued improvement across all revenue categories,
primarily from increased business with the Company’s clients in Delaware and Maryland.
Cost of revenues in the three months ended June 30,
2021 approximated $13.2 million compared to approximately $3.5 million in the same period in 2020, an increase of approximately
$9.7 million. The year-over-year variance was primarily attributable to the higher level of revenues as these costs are largely
variable in nature and fluctuate in step with revenues. As a percentage of revenues, these costs increased to 40.4% in the
three months ended June 30, 2021 from 35.9% in the same period in 2020, primarily due to the change in the relative mix of revenue
categories in each period. Specifically, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, (a) 88.2% of revenues were comprised of product
sales, which historically have had corresponding costs of revenue of approximately 45.0% to 50.0%, and (b) 8.7% of revenues
were comprised of real estate and management revenue, which have no corresponding cost of revenue. This compares to revenues in
the same period in 2020 that were comprised of (x) 72.7% of product sales and (y) 19.1% of real estate and management
revenues. While the cost rate is higher for product sales, the level of product sales able to be generated by the Company is several
multiples higher than the level of real estate and management revenues able to be generated, resulting in significantly higher
gross profit dollars to be generated by the Company.
As a result of the foregoing, gross profit approximated
$19.4 million, or 59.6% of revenues, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, from approximately $6.2 million,
or 64.1% of revenues, in the same period in 2020.
Personnel expenses increased to approximately $2.1
million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $1.2 million in the same period in 2020. The increase was
primarily due to the hiring of additional staff to support (i) higher levels of revenue, and (ii) the Company’s expansion into
a direct owner and operator of seed-to-sale cannabis businesses. As a percentage of revenues, personnel expenses decreased
to 6.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 12.6% in the same period in 2020.
Marketing and promotion costs increased to approximately
$270,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $66,000 in the same period in 2020. The increase
is primarily the result of increased spending on branding and design consulting, as well as digital and local outdoor advertising.
As a percentage of revenues, these costs remained steady at 0.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with
0.7% in the same period in 2020.
General and administrative costs increased to approximately
$4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $2.3 million in the same period in 2020. This change
is primarily due to increases of approximately (i) $1.0 million in non-cash equity compensation expense associated with option
grants and warrant issuances, (ii) $371,000 in facility costs from additional properties in service in 2021, (iii) $320,000
of credit card processing fees due to a significant increase in credit card sales at the Company’s cannabis dispensaries, and (iv)
$182,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses from higher property, equipment, and intangibles. As a percentage of revenues,
these costs fell to 13.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 24.3% in the same period in 2020.
Bad debt expense approximated $794,000 in
the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $450,000 in the same period in 2020. The change is due to the increase of
reserves recorded against aging trade accounts receivable. As a percentage of revenues, this expense decreased to 2.4% in the three months
ended June 30, 2021 from 4.7% in the same period in 2020.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company generated
operating income of approximately $12.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to approximately $2.1
million in the same period in 2020.
Net non-operating expenses decreased to approximately
$600,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $3.2 million in the same period in 2020. The decrease
is primarily due to an approximate $2.7 million reduction of interest expense from lower levels of outstanding debt.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company generated
income before income taxes of approximately $11.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss before income
taxes of approximately $1.1 million in the same period in 2020. After a tax provision of approximately $3.8 million in
the three months ended June 30, 2021, net income approximated $7.6 million in the current period, compared to a net loss of approximately
$1.1 million in the prior period, a positive swing of approximately $8.7 million.
Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared
to six months ended June 30, 2020
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021
approximated $57.2 million compared to approximately $17.1 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of approximately $40.1 million
or 235.0%. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the four-fold growth of cannabis sales to approximately $49.7 million
in the current period, compared to approximately $11.2 million from the same period a year ago. This growth was attributable to sales
increases of approximately (i) $12.7 million generated by the Company’s cultivation and production facility in New Bedford, MA;
this location commenced full scale selling operations in the second quarter of 2020 and saw a year-over-year six-fold increase in wholesale
customers, (ii) $11.8 million by the Company’s dispensaries in Mt. Vernon, IL and Metropolis, IL which were not yet operational
in second quarter of 2020, (iii) $6.2 million generated by the Company’s dispensaries in Anna, IL and Harrisburg, IL due to 49%
and 78% increases, respectively, in recreational customer visits year-over-year, and (iv) $7.8 million generated by the Company’s
Middleboro, MA dispensary which commenced recreational sales in the third quarter of 2020 and also saw a four-fold increase in medical
customers. The year-over-year increase in revenues was also the result of continued improvement across all revenue categories, primarily
from increased business with the Company’s clients in Delaware and Maryland.
Cost of revenues approximated $24.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $6.1 million for the same period in 2020. The year-over-year variance was primarily
attributable to the higher level of revenues as these costs are largely variable in nature and fluctuate in step with revenues. As a
percentage of revenues, these costs increased to 43.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 35.4% in the same period in 2020,
primarily due to the change in the relative mix of revenue categories in each period. Specifically, in the six months ended June 30,
2021, (a) 86.8% of revenues were comprised of product sales, which historically have had corresponding costs of revenue of approximately
45.0% to 50.0%, and (b) 9.7% of revenues were comprised of real estate and management revenue, which have no corresponding cost of revenue.
This compares to revenues in the same period in 2020 that were comprised of (x) 65.7% of product sales and (y) 24.8% of real estate and
management revenues. While the cost rate is higher for product sales, the level of product sales able to be generated by the Company
is several multiples higher than the level of real estate and management revenues able to be generated, resulting in significantly higher
gross profit dollars to be generated by the Company.
As a result of the foregoing, gross profit approximated
$32.6 million, or 57.0% of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $11.0 million, or 64.6% of total
revenues, for the same period a year ago.
Personnel expenses increased to approximately
$3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $2.7 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was
primarily due to the hiring of additional staff to support (i) higher levels of revenue, and (ii) the Company’s expansion into
a direct owner and operator of seed-to-sale cannabis businesses. As a percentage of revenues, personnel expenses decreased to 6.6% in
2021 compared to 15.9% in 2020.
Marketing and promotion costs increased to approximately
$495,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $178,000 for the same period a year ago. The change is primarily the
result of increased spending on branding and design consulting, public relations, and digital and local outdoor advertising. As a percentage
of revenues, these costs fell slightly to 0.9% in 2021 from 1.0% in 2020.
General and administrative costs increased to
approximately $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $4.6 million for the same period a year ago. This
change is primarily due to increases of approximately (i) $1.0 million in non-cash equity compensation expense associated with option
grants and warrant issuances, (ii) $613,000 in facility costs on additional properties in service in 2021, (iii) $627,000 of credit card
processing fees due to a significant increase in credit card sales at the Company’s cannabis dispensaries, (iv) $234,000 in depreciation
and amortization expenses from higher property, equipment, and intangibles, and (v) increased legal costs associated with the Company’s
legal proceedings. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs fell to 13.0% in 2021 from 26.8% in 2020, reflecting
the more efficient utilization of the Company’s fixed overhead costs.
Bad debt expense increased to approximately $1.8
million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $450,000 in the same period in 2020. The change is due to the increase of reserves
recorded against aging trade accounts receivable. As a percentage of revenues, this expense increased to 3.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 2.6% in the
same period in 2020.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company generated
operating income of approximately $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $3.1 million for the
same period in 2020.
Net non-operating expenses decreased to approximately
$2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to approximately $6.6 million for the same period in 2020. The year-over-year
change is primarily due to an approximate $3.9 million reduction of interest expense from lower levels of outstanding debt, coupled with
an approximate $506,000 decrease in the fair value of investments..
As a result of the foregoing, the Company generated
income before income taxes of approximately $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the same period a year ago, the
Company incurred a loss before income taxes of approximately $3.5 million. After a tax provision of approximately $5.0 million in 2021,
the Company generated net income of approximately $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of approximately
$3.5 million for the same period in 2020, a positive swing of approximately $15.4 million.

Non-GAAP
Measurement
In addition to the financial information
reflected in this report, which is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States (“GAAP”), the Company is providing a non-GAAP financial measurement of profitability – Adjusted
EBITDA – as a supplement to the preceding discussion of the Company’s financial
results.
Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as net
income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the following:
-
interest income and interest
expense;
-
income taxes;
-
depreciation of fixed
assets and amortization of intangibles;
-
non-cash expenses on debt
and equity issuances;
-
impairment or write-downs
of intangible assets;
-
unrealized gains and losses
on investments and currency translations;
-
legal settlements;
-
gains or losses from the
extinguishment of debt via the issuance of equity;
-
discontinued operations;
and
-
merger- and acquisition-related transaction expenses.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA
is a useful measure to assess the performance and liquidity of the Company as it provides meaningful operating results by excluding the
effects of expenses that are not reflective of its operating business performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses Adjusted
EBITDA to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and for financial and operational decision making.
The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that investors and analysts benefit
from considering Adjusted EBITDA in assessing the Company’s financial results and its ongoing business as it allows for
meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. Adjusted EBITDA is used by many investors and analysts themselves,
along with other metrics, to compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
As there are no standardized methods of calculating
non-GAAP measurements, the Company’s calculations may differ from those used by analysts, investors, and other companies, even
those within the cannabis industry, and therefore may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.

Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The
Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and, as such, is not required to provide the information
contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2021 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation,
the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
(i) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) are
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the past fiscal years, we implemented significant measures to remediate the previously disclosed ineffectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting, which included an insufficient degree of segregation of duties amongst our accounting and financial reporting
personnel, and the lack of a formalized and complete set of policy and procedure documentation evidencing our system of internal controls
over financial reporting. The remediation measures consisted of the engagement of accounting consultants as needed to provide expertise
on specific areas of the accounting guidance, the continued hiring of individuals with appropriate experience in internal controls over
financial reporting, and the modification of our accounting processes and enhancement to our financial controls, including the testing
of such controls.
Other
than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the
three months ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
