MariMed Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
MariMed
Inc. (the “Company”) is a multi-state operator in the cannabis industry. The Company develops, operates, manages,
and optimizes over
Upon its entry into the cannabis industry, the Company was an advisory firm that procured state-issued cannabis licenses on behalf of its clients, leased its cannabis facilities 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 ongoing regulatory, accounting, real estate, human resources, and administrative services.
In 2018, the Company commenced a strategic plan to transition from a consulting business to a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations. The Company’s strategic plan consists of the acquisition of its cannabis-licensed clients located in five states—Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Nevada—and the consolidation of these entities under the MariMed banner.
A goal in completing this transition is to 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 providing industry best practices 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 the licensed businesses in Massachusetts and Illinois have been state-approved and completed, and establishes the Company as a fully integrated seed-to-sale multi-state operator. 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 and 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 develop additional revenue and business in these states and plans to leverage its success to expand into other markets where cannabis is and becomes legal.
The Company has also 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 product formulations only to certified manufacturing professionals who adhere to the Company’s precise scientific formulations and trademarked product recipes.
7 |
The Company’s branded cannabis products are licensed under brand names including Kalm Fusion™, Nature’s Heritage™, and Betty’s Eddies™, and are distributed in the form of dissolvable strips, tablets, powders, microwaveable popcorn, fruit chews, and other varieties in development. 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 tinctures, and the clinically-tested medicinal cannabis strains developed in Israel by global medical cannabis research pioneer Tikun Olam™. The Company’s hemp division distributes hemp-derived CBD products, including its Florance™ brand, in the US and abroad. The Company intends to continue licensing and distributing its brands, as well as other top brands, in the Company’s current markets and in additional legal markets worldwide.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The spread of the virus in the United States and the measures implemented to contain it—including business shutdowns, indoor capacity restrictions, social distancing, and diminished travel—have negatively impacted the economy and have created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. Consequently, the Company’s expansion efforts and implementation of its strategic plan have been delayed. Additionally, while the cannabis industry has been deemed an essential business and is not expected to suffer severe declines in revenue, the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity have been adversely affected, as further discussed in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the notes to the financial statements included in this report.
Continued disruption to the global economy may materially and adversely affect the future carrying values of certain of the Company’s assets, including inventories, accounts receivables, and intangibles, as well as negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise working capital to support its operations. The full extent to which COVID-19 and the measures to contain it will impact the Company’s business, operations financial condition, and liquidity will depend on the continued severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and other future developments in response to the virus, all of which are highly uncertain at this time. As a result, the Company cannot predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on its operational and financial performance.
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.

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, 2019.
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.
Going Concern
In connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires an assessment of relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that are known or reasonably knowable by management on the issuance dates of the financial statements which indicate the probable likelihood that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.
As part of its evaluation, management assessed known events, trends, commitments, and uncertainties, which at the time included the status of the Company’s consolidation plan, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, developments concerning GenCanna’s bankruptcy proceedings, recent cannabis industry investment activity, price movements of public cannabis stock, actions and/or results of certain bellwether cannabis companies, the level of cannabis investor confidence, and changes to state laws governing recreational (adult-use) and medical cannabis.
Management also reviewed certain key liquidity metrics of the Company, as further described below, as well as other factors in its evaluation, and determined that there currently exists a substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements without additional funding or the continued profitability growth of its cannabis operations in Illinois and Massachusetts.
The Company produced the following improvements to key liquidity metrics during the reported period:
● | During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s operating activities provided
positive cash flow of approximately $ |
● | At
September 30, 2020, the Company’s negative working capital was approximately $ |
● | The
Company successfully restructured the terms of its short-term promissory notes payable
to approximately $ |
For further discussion of the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, please refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2020.

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 an allowance
for doubtful accounts of approximately $
10 |
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 reserve if necessary. As of the date of this report, no reserve was deemed necessary.
Investments
Investments are comprised of equity holding of 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 dispensary and wholesale operations in Massachusetts and Illinois, and direct sales of hemp and hemp-infused products by the Company’s hemp division. In 2019, this division participated in one-time sales of acquired hemp seed inventory, as further explained in Note 17 – Related Party Transactions. Future product sales are expected to include 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 point-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 term, 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. Along with this oversight, the Company provides human resources, regulatory, marketing, and other corporate services. 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 – revenue from the sale of precision-dosed, cannabis-infused products—such as Kalm Fusion™, Nature’s Heritage™, and Betty’s Eddies™—to regulated dispensaries throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The recognition of this revenue occurs when the products are delivered. |
11 |
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,
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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, based on the results of management’s
analyses, there were
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 which calls for applying the new standard to all of the Company’s leases effective January 1, 2019, which is the effective date of adoption.
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, or (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. |
12 |
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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Life of instrument | ||||||||
Volatility factors | to | to | ||||||
Risk-free interest rates | ||||||||
Dividend yield |
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.
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.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and
had
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 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.
At
September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, all such potentially dilutive securities were convertible into approximately
million net shares of common stock, which were included in the number of weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis, and in the calculation of diluted net income per share for this period as shown in the statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and for the three and nine months ended Septembers 30, 2019, 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 these periods.
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.

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 of the option, 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
