NOTE 17 – BAD DEBTS

The Company maintains two types of reserves to address uncertain collections of amounts due—an allowance against trade accounts receivable (the “AR Allowance”), and a reserve against cash advanced by the Company to its cannabis-licensed clients for working capital purposes (the WC Reserve”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company increased the AR Allowance by $850,000, and the WC Reserve by approximately $175,000. The aggregate of these two amounts of approximately $1,025,000 was charged to Bad Debts on the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. No changes to the AR Allowance and WC Reserve were made during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
