EXHIBIT A

RISK FACTORS

THE INTERESTS ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. ACCORDINGLY, YOU SHOULD NOT INVEST IN THE INTERESTS IF YOU LACK SUFFICIENT MEANS TO SUSTAIN THE LOSS OF PART OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE MAKING A DECISION TO PROCEED WITH ANY INVESTMENT IN COMPANY:

 

1. The Risk of Regulatory or Political Change. The success of our Business depends on the ongoing legality of the cannabis industry as it relates to the cultivation of cannabis (“cannabis”) and manufactured and derivative products which contain cannabis. The political environment surrounding the cannabis industry in general can be volatile and the regulatory framework remains in flux. There is a growing movement in the United States supporting the legalization of cannabis for medical, as well as non-medical purposes, and as such, as of the date of this offering, nine (9) states and Washington D.C. have implemented laws and regulations to legalize and regulate the adult use of cannabis, twenty nine (29) states and Washington D.C. have implemented laws and regulations to legalize and regulate the medical use of cannabis, and thirteen (13) states have pending legislation regarding the medical use of cannabis, however, the risk remains that a shift in the regulatory or political realm could occur and have a drastic impact on the industry as a whole, adversely impacting Company and Business.

 

2. Risk of Synthetic Production and Technological Advancements. The pharmaceutical industry continues to attempt to dominate the cannabis industry, and in particular, legal cannabis, through the development and distribution of synthetic products which emulate the effects and treatment of cannabis. If they are successful the widespread popularity of such synthetic products could change the demand, volume and profitability of the cannabis industry and adversely affect our ability to ensure long term success and expansion.

 

3. Unknown Regulatory Fees and Taxes. Company is aware that the State of Nevada will implement certain special taxes and fees on business, which may be further amended and implemented from time to time. This would have an impact on the net income and return on Company’s Business, however, the extent of such impact is not yet known.

 

4. Legality of Cannabis. The State of Nevada enacted the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act, which legalizes the recreational cannabis for adults that are twenty-one (21) years or older, in the State of Nevada. Twenty-nine (29) other states and Washington D.C. have also enacted legislation legalizing the medical use of cannabis; thirteen (13) states have pending legislation regarding the legalization of the medical use of cannabis, and; nine (9) states and Washington D.C. have enacted legislation legalizing the adult use of cannabis as well. However, the Federal Government has not enacted similar legislation and the sale and disbursement of cannabis remains illegal under Federal Law. The Federal Government has specifically reserved the right to enforce Federal Law in regard to the sale and disbursement of cannabis even if such sale and disbursement is sanctioned by state law. Further, there is no guaranty that at some future date, voters and/or the applicable legislative bodies will not repeal, overturn or limit any such legislation legalizing the sale, disbursement and consumption of cannabis. It is also important to note that local and city ordinances may strictly limit and/or restrict disbursement of cannabis in a manner that will make it extremely difficult or impossible to transact business that is necessary to the continued operation of the cannabis industry. Federal actions against any individual or entity engaged in the cannabis industry or a substantial repeal of cannabis related legislation could adversely affect Company.

 

5. Large Scale Competition. Currently, the cannabis industry is comprised of individuals and small to medium-sized entities, however, the risk remains that large conglomerates and companies who also recognize the potential for financial success through investment in this industry could strategically purchase or assume control of larger dispensaries and cultivation facilities and in doing so establish price setting and cost controls which would effectively “price out” many of the individuals and small to medium-sized entities who currently make up the bulk of the industry. While the trend in most state laws and regulations seemingly deters this type of takeover, this industry remains at its infancy stage, so what the landscape will be in the future remains largely unknown, which in itself is a risk.

 

6. Start-Up Stage Business. Company will be formed and incorporated as a Nevada limited liability company, pursuant to the Nevada Limited Liability Company Act, upon the submission of its Articles of Organization to the State of Nevada. We are in the formation and start-up stage and have no past revenues. Our proposed plans for proceeding are subject to all business risks associated with new business enterprises, including the absence of an operating history upon which to evaluate an investment. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, the development of new strategy and the competitive environment in which we will operate. It is possible that we will incur a loss in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be profitable.

 

7. General Regulatory Risks. The Business is subject to the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act, as may be amended from time to time, as well as the applicable state and local statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, including, among others, zoning and land use ordinances, building, plumbing and electrical codes, contractors’ licensing laws and health and safety regulations and laws. Local municipalities have imposed (or may in the future impose) various fees related to the legal cannabis industry and ancillary businesses some of which were enacted to fund, among other things, schools, road improvements and low and moderate-income housing. Additionally, various municipalities have proposed or enacted additional initiatives restricting the growth and expansion of cannabis dispensaries and cultivation facilities. We cannot assure you that these general regulatory issues will not have an adverse impact on the Business or our Company, operating results and financial condition.

 

8. There has not been and there is not expected to be, a trading market for the Interests, and there are restrictions on resale. Prior to this offering, there has been no trading market for the Interests, and Company has no expectation that any market will develop for its Interests. Resale of the Interests offered hereby is further limited because such securities have not been registered under federal or state securities laws. Any Interests purchased hereunder will be subject to the Company’s Operating Agreement. The Company’s Operating Agreement will prohibit a Member from selling or transferring its portion of the Interests in Company, except in compliance with the Operating Agreement. Neither Company nor any Member has any obligation to purchase any Member's portion of the Interests although certain provisions regarding rights of first refusal apply.

 

9. No SEC Reporting Contemplated. This offering of a portion of the Interests is not being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption from such registration. Company is not now, and after the completion of this offering will not be, subject to the periodic reporting requirements, proxy rules and certain other provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Company plans to make available to future Members, annual audited financial reports.

 

10. Leverage. Company’s Operating Agreement will permit Company to incur debt, necessary to develop, operate, manage and expand the Business. As funds are borrowed, such financing will increase the risk of your investment because debt service increases the expense of operation. In addition, lenders may require restrictions on future borrowing, distributions and operating policies. Our ability to meet our debt obligations will depend upon our future performance and will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our business and operations, including general economic conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our debt obligations.

 

11. Need for Additional Capital; Issuance of Additional Interests. We cannot assure you that the Business will generate proceeds sufficient to distribute a positive return, and it is possible that we will need additional capital to continue and maintain the necessary management and operations of Company and the Business.

 

12. Restrictions on Transfer; No Registration of Interests. The Interests are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer under federal and state laws regulating the sale or transfer of securities. Accordingly, you must be willing to bear the economic risk of your investment for an indefinite period of time. We have no commitment or intention to register the Interests with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state regulatory authority. In addition, at this time, our Operating Agreement will contain transfer restrictions (including a right of first refusal in favor of Company and the Members), and transferees may be admitted as substitute Members only as provided in our Operating Agreement. The voluntary withdrawal of a Member will not permitted.

 

13. Financial Projections/Assumptions. We may provide certain financial estimates, projections and other forward-looking information. Such forward- looking information is based on assumptions of future events that may or may not occur, which assumptions may not be disclosed in such documents. YOU SHOULD INQUIRE OF THE MANAGER AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING ANY PROJECTIONS. Projections are inherently subject to varying degrees of uncertainty and their achievability depends on the timing and probability of a complex series of future events. We cannot assure you that the assumptions upon which these projections are based will be realized. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM PROJECTED RESULTS FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS INCLUDING INCREASES IN OPERATING EXPENSES, CHANGES OR SHIFTS IN REGULATORY RULES, UNDISCOVERED ADVERSE CONDITIONS WITH THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND INCREASED COMPETITION. ACCORDINGLY, YOU SHOULD NOT RELY UPON ANY PROJECTIONS TO INDICATE THE ACTUAL RESULTS WE MIGHT ACHIEVE.

 

14. ERISA Risks. There may be special concerns for Members subject to ERISA and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. You should consult your own ERISA advisors before investing in Company.

 

15. Federal Income Tax Risks – In General. The federal income tax aspects of an investment in Company are complex, and their impact may vary depending on an Investor’s individual circumstances. Potential Investors should consider the following tax risks, among others:

 

(a) Members will be taxed currently on their allocable portion of the Interests of Company’s taxable income, even if they receive no distributions of cash from Company; accordingly, there is a risk that in some years your tax liabilities arising out of your portion of the Interests in Company may exceed your cash distributions, and these tax liabilities will be out-of-pocket expenses to you;

 

(b) Company was not formed with the intent to produce deductions in excess of income that could be used to offset income from other sources;

 

(c) any net losses of Company and any interest expenses on any debt incurred by a Member to acquire or carry an interest in Company are likely to be subject to the limitations on deduction of passive activity losses;

 

(d) the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) may challenge Companys allocation and/or characterization of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit;

 

(e) Members may be precluded from claiming certain deductions by virtue of limitations on miscellaneous itemized deductions and/or application of the at-risk rules;

 

(f) Company may claim deductions or other tax benefits to which it believes it is entitled, but there can be no assurance that the deductions or other benefits will be allowed on audit;

 

(g) the IRS may challenge reporting positions taken by Company on its tax returns and, if the challenge is successful, seek to impose interest and penalties on taxes found to be due; and

 

(h) tax laws, rules, regulations and rulings may change, with or without retroactive effect.

 

Company does not intend to seek any advance ruling from the IRS on any tax issue, nor does Company intend to seek any opinion of counsel regarding the tax aspects associated with Company’s operations or the potential tax impact of an investment in Company by a Member. Each potential Investor must consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences (including federal and state income tax consequences) of investing in Company, with specific reference to his own tax situation.

 

16. Federal Income Tax Risks – Non-U.S. Investors. The rules governing federal income taxation of non-resident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and other foreign entities, which we refer to collectively as Non-U.S. Investors, are complex. Although tax treaties may reduce our withholding obligations, based on current law, if you are a non-U.S. Investor in Company you will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on your distributions as well as applicable foreign taxes. Company will be required by law to withhold such federal taxes from your distributions. Non-U.S. Investors should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of federal, state and local income tax laws with respect to an investment in the Interests, including reporting requirements. They should also consider the tax treatment of the investment under the tax laws of their home country.
