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 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.  Pursuant to amendment, the buyer paid the additional $75,000 in March 2022, and the 10% profit share described above was eliminated.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited 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, 2022, 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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were included in the annual report on Form 10-K filed by the Company on April 17, 2023.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 2023, 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

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited 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.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consisted primarily of cash and accounts receivable.

Customer and Revenue Concentrations – Cultivation Segment

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 81% of SevenFive’s revenue was with two customers and 78% was with one customer, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 77% of SevenFive’s revenue was with two customers and 59% was with one customer, respectively. These customers are related party dispensaries and the revenues associated with these customers are eliminated in consolidation.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, 90% of Green Tree’s revenue was with four customers. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 83% of Green Tree’s revenue was with three customers.  The customers in 2023 are related party dispensaries and the revenues associated with these customers are eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

Going Concern

We incurred net losses of $2,036,155 and $3,922,689 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively and $182,948 and $1,044,004 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $97,324,771 as of June 30, 2023. We had cash and cash equivalents of $643,968 and $2,583,833 as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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. We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and have primarily funded our operations with proceeds from the issuance of debt. We expect our operating losses to continue into the foreseeable future as we continue to execute our acquisition and growth strategy.  As a result, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital to fund operations, support our planned investing activities, and repay our debt obligations as they become due. If we are unable to obtain additional funding, we would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of our acquisition efforts, which could adversely affect our growth plans.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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, 2023, although early adoption is permitted.  We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2022, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
