NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

MariMed Inc. (the “Registrant”) has been unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Report”) by March 16, 2020 without unreasonable effort or expense due, in part, to circumstances related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Specifically, (a) the Registrant’s receipt of information from certain third parties related to the completion of its audit has been delayed, and (b) certain of the Registrant’s personnel responsible for is financial reporting function have been adversely affected due to potential exposure to the virus. The Registrant believes that the Report will be filed on or before March 31, 2020.

OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). [X] Yes [  ] No

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operation for the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? [X] Yes [  ] No

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

In February 2020, GenCanna Global Inc. (“GenCanna”), the Kentucky-based producer and distributor of industrial hemp in which the Registrant previously invested $30 million and to whom the Registrant sold approximately $33 million of hemp seed inventory in 2019, filed for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of Kentucky.

As a result, the Registrant’s financial statements as of December 31, 2019 are expected to include (i) a charge to earnings of approximately $30 million which reduces the carrying value of the investment in GenCanna to zero, and (ii) a full reserve against the outstanding receivable balance from GenCanna of approximately $29 million, along with the write-off of associated unearned revenue of approximately $4 million.

Additionally, given the uncertainty concerning the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, the Registrant expects to take reserves on certain receivables and write-downs of intangible assets in the amounts disclosed below.

Total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are expected to be approximately $46 million, which includes approximately $29 million of sales to GenCanna, compared to total revenues of approximately $12 million for the same prior year period.

Cost of revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are expected to be approximately $27 million, which includes approximately $21 million of costs related to the GenCanna seed sales, compared to cost of revenues of approximately $4 million for the same prior year period.

Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are expected to be in the range of approximately $52 to $60 million, which includes the reserve of the GenCanna receivable of approximately $29 million as previously discussed, as well as approximately $7 to $15 million of reserves on other receivables and an approximate $3 million write-down of intangibles, compared to operating expenses of approximately $13 million for the same prior year period.

Net non-operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are expected to be approximately $40 million, which includes the write-off of the GenCanna investment of approximately $30 million as previously discussed, as well as approximately $13 million of interest expense (approximately $8 million of which is non-cash), compared to net non-operating expenses of approximately $8 million for the same prior year period.

As a result of the foregoing, the Registrant expects to incur a pretax loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 of in the range of approximately $73 to $81 million, caused by the aforementioned receivable reserves, investment and intangibles write-offs, and non-cash interest, all of which aggregate to approximately $77 million, compared to a pretax loss of approximately $13 million for the same prior year period.

The foregoing anticipated results for the year ended December 31, 2019 are management’s current estimates and are subject to change. Actual results will be included in the Report as filed.
