NATURE OF OPERATIONS, HISTORY AND PRESENTATION
NATURE OF OPERATIONS, HISTORY AND PRESENTATION	NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, HISTORY AND PRESENTATION Nature of Operations General Cannabis Corp, a Colorado Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,”) (formerly, Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc.), was incorporated on June 3, 2013, and provides services and products to the regulated cannabis industry. We currently trade on the OTCQB® Market under the trading symbol CANN. As of September 30, 2021, our operations are segregated into the following segments: Retail (“Retail Segment”) Through our acquisition of TDM, LLC (“TREES Englewood”) in September 2021, we operate a retail dispensary store in Englewood, Colorado. Cultivation (“Cultivation Segment”) Through our acquisition of SevenFive Farm ("SevenFive") in May 2020, we operate a 17,000 square foot licensed light deprivation greenhouse cultivation facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 24% and 12% of SevenFive’s revenue was with two and one customers, respectively. Discontinued Operations - Operations Consulting and Products (“Operations Segment”) Through Next Big Crop (“NBC”), we delivered comprehensive consulting services to the cannabis industry that included obtaining licenses, compliance, cultivation, retail operations, logistical support, facility design and construction, and expansion of existing operations. NBC oversaw our wholesale equipment and supply business, operating under the name “GC Supply,” which provided turnkey sourcing and stocking services to cultivation, retail and infused products manufacturing facilities. Our products included building materials, equipment, consumables and compliance packaging. NBC also provided operational support for our internal cultivation. On July 16, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual to sell substantially all of the assets of NBC for a total of $150,000 and 10% of profits generated by the buyer in the states of Michigan, Mississippi, and Massachusetts for a period of twelve months from the closing. On August 2, 2021, the sale of NBC was completed. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") can be condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, which were included in the annual report on Form 10-K filed by the Company on April 1, 2021. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position and operating results. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 2021, or any other interim or future periods. Since the date of the Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, when testing assets for impairment in future periods, if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur, impairment charges may result. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact the Company's business and markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including revenues, expenses, reserves and allowances, fair value measurements and asset impairment charges, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity in our markets and elsewhere, governmental actions to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to the reduction in global economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Discontinued Operations On July 16, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual to sell substantially all of the assets of NBC for a total of $150,000 and 10% of profits generated by the buyer in the states of Michigan, Mississippi, and Massachusetts for a period of twelve months from the closing. On August 2, 2021, the sale of NBC was completed. On January 1, 2021, we discontinued our investments segment. As this is not a materially significant segment, we have not shown the effects of the discontinued segment in the financial statements. On December 26, 2019, the board of directors and management made the strategic decision to discontinue the operations for both the Security Segment and the Consumer Goods Segment. The assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations for the Security Segment and Consumer Goods Segment are presented separately in the balance sheet and the operating results. The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there are $5,101 and $5,551, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents included in assets of discontinued operations on the balance sheet. Going Concern The Company incurred net losses of $1.3 million and $5.1 million in three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.6 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $80 million as of September 30, 2021. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million and $0.8 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt. The Company expects its operating losses to continue into the foreseeable future as it continues to execute its acquisition and growth strategy. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the receipt of an additional $2.3 million of cash in April 2021 from the issuance of a convertible note offering, the receipt of an additional $1.2 million of cash in September 2021 from the issuance of preferred stock and the pending acquisition of three dispensaries (See Note 13 for further information). The Company may need additional funding to support its planned investing activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, it would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its acquisition efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies. Recently Issued Accounting Standards FASB ASU 2020-06 – “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”- In June 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, although early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. FASB ASU 2019-12 – “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” – In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies certain aspects of accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2021. This ASU did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, when testing assets for impairment in future periods, if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur, impairment charges may result.
