PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

MariMed Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is an industry leader in the emerging legal cannabis industry. We are a professional management company that advises our clients in securing cannabis licenses, and in turn, we develop and manage state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of legal cannabis and cannabis-infused products. Along with this operational oversight, we provide our clients with legal, accounting, human resources, and other corporate and administrative services.

The Company has also created a custom brand of cannabis-infused products, under the brand name Kalm Fusion™, which are licensed and distributed nationally in those states where such products may legally be distributed. These products are precision-dosed and designed for specific medical conditions and related symptoms. In 2017, the Company acquired the Betty’s Eddies™ brand of cannabis-infused fruit chews, and expanded its distribution of Lucid Mood™ disposable vape pens, further expanding the Company’s brand portfolio and product line.

The Company’s stock is quoted on the OTCQB market under the ticker symbol MRMD.

Since focusing on the cannabis industry in 2014, the Company’s operations have increased significantly each year. For the year ended 2017, revenues increased 70% to $6.1 million, operating income increased 56% to $1.2 million, and total assets increased 276% to $32.2 million. Similarly, our client company revenues increased to $12.2 million, a 79.4% increase from the year ended 2016. The Company’s online portal business (discussed in the following sections) was basically dormant during 2017.

As a publicly traded company and with businesses in multiple states, we have become widely known as a nationwide leader in the emerging cannabis industry including:

	●	Cannabis Professional Management Experts – we consult on every aspect of the cannabis business: writing award-winning applications for clients applying for licenses in new and established legal cannabis states; creating and developing defined business, operating and security plans; sourcing real estate for cannabis facilities in municipalities receptive to the business; and raising capital to purchase and develop facilities which are leased to licensed cannabis companies.

	●	Developer/Operator of Nationally Acclaimed Cannabis Facilities – we have developed six cannabis facilities in four states, with five more facilities under development in additional states; we utilize industry “Best Practices” in all of our facilities; our clients’ seed-to-sale operations in multiple states are examples of operational excellence under our validated management processes and practices

	●	Creator of Branded Cannabis Products – we have created our own unique brands of precision-dosed cannabis-infused products which are currently licensed and distributed in cannabis-legal states; our Kalm Fusion™ brand includes MariMelts™ oral strips that dissolve in seconds under one’s tongue; Kalm Corn™ microwavable popcorn, and Powdered Tincture™ that delivers a precise dose into a pint of water; in 2017 we acquired the Betty’s Eddies™ line of fruit chews.

	●	National Network for Distribution – we have expanded our distribution of Lucid Mood™ disposable mood vape pens and we continue to forge strategic partnerships with licensed cannabis producers and distributors to expand the distribution of our cannabis brands in states where cannabis is legal which, if we can successfully accomplish, will create a network that can deliver product to thousands of dispensaries throughout the country.

	●	Leader in Innovated Technologies and Science – we are diligent in identifying and reviewing the latest sciences and processes in any way related to the cultivation, distillation, production, packaging, securing, and distributing of cannabis and cannabis-infused products; we have obtained the highest quality cannabis strains and genetics; we have an exclusive right to multi-state distribution of Tikun Olam genetics from Israel with its 10 years of supporting clinical research; we are at the leading edge of patient education and physician outreach; we seek strategic relationships with companies that are at the forefront of extraction and distillation.

Corporate History

The Company was originally formed in January 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worlds Inc. (formerly Worlds.com Inc.) under the name Worlds Online Inc. In May 2011, Worlds Online Inc. commenced the spin-off of the Company, which was consummated after SEC review in May 2012.

(3)

The Company’s initial ticker symbol was WORX, and since inception, the Company has operated an online portal that offers multi-user virtual environments to users. Over time, however, this business model declined, and it has had insignificant operating activity since 2014.

In early 2014, the Company pivoted its operational focus to the emerging cannabis industry. In order to quickly gain traction into this new space, in May 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”), acquired Sigal Consulting LLC (“Sigal”), a company operating in the cannabis industry.

The purchase price paid to the former owners of Sigal consisted of (i) an aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the outstanding shares on the closing date of September 29, 2014, (ii) options to purchase three million shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable over five years with exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35, and (iii) a 49% ownership interest in MMA.

This transaction was accounted for as a purchase acquisition where the Company was both the legal and accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the Company recorded as goodwill the value of the common stock and options issued in excess of the Sigal assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This goodwill was subsequently deemed impaired in full and written down to zero.

In early 2017, the Company changed its name to MariMed Inc. and its ticker symbol to MRMD. Also during this time, the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common and preferred stock were increased to 500 million and 50 million, respectively.

In June 2017, the Company purchased the remaining 49% interest in MMA in exchange for 75 million shares of common stock.

In July 2017, Robert Fireman was named as the Company’s CEO and President, and Jon R. Levine as the CFO, Treasurer, and Secretary.

In late 2017, the Company acquired the intellectual property, formulations, recipes, proprietary equipment, and know-how of the Betty’s Eddies™ brand of cannabis-infused fruit chews which are handcrafted with all-natural ingredients and sweetened with non-GMO organic fruits and vegetables. The Company plans to roll out the Betty’s Eddies product line throughout its licensee network and to hundreds additional legal dispensaries in multiple states in 2018.

Business Activities

The Company offers a comprehensive suite of products in those states with newly passed medical marijuana regulations and/or recreational use marijuana. These services include fee-based assistance to applicants applying for state regulated cannabis licenses. For those who are awarded a license MariMed provides consultative services for all aspects required for the design, and operation of cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensing facilities.

The Company does not currently own licenses with respect to, nor sell, cannabis products. Our goal is to be an industry leader in providing professional management and advisory services to the cannabis industry. We have developed proprietary operating processes and procedures to provide best practices to our clients. These services are also offered to existing licensed marijuana facilities across the country. In such cases, we can reengineer such licensees’ facilities, or purchase and develop new ones to maximize the value of their licenses, while also providing ongoing advisory services.

Cannabis remains a Controlled Substance under federal law which makes conventional funding difficult to obtain. Accordingly, the demand for private funding in this industry is enormous, which the Company has been successful in raising.

The Company has developed a brand of cannabis-infused products that are designed to be precision-dosed for specific medical conditions and symptoms. These products are developed by the Company in cooperation with state-licensed facilities and operators who meet the Company’s strict standards: all natural— not artificial or synthetic — ingredients that are locally grown by knowledgeable growers who will apply our scientific formulations with trademarked product recipes.

The Company’s product line includes Kalm Fusion™, Mari Melts™, Powdered Tincture™, Kalm Corn™, and now Betty’s Eddies™. All of these branded products utilize ingredients that are infused with THC or CBD cannabis oil extracts designed for enjoyable, predictable relief.

MariMed is working to develop patient assessment programs for licensed facilities to support research in the industry We believe that tracking outcomes and maintaining a good regimen with the patient will assist dispensaries in safely providing safe and reliable products to patients.

Business Structure

MariMed creates private limited liability companies to fund and develop cultivation, processing, and dispensing facilities. These single facility LLCs are sometimes jointly owned by MariMed and investors with the share of ownership and the allocation of return negotiated on a deal specific basis. This structure was used in projects in Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Nevada.

As of December 31, 2017, MariMed had developed and is managing for clients six operating cannabis facilities in Delaware, Illinois, Nevada, and Maryland with 5 additional facilities being developed currently in Maryland and Massachusetts, while assisting clients to develop additional licensed facilities in other state licensed programs.

Alliances

The Company has entered into a licensing agreement with Tikun Olam USA, the first developer of medical cannabis products in Israel. The agreement provides the Company with the ability to sublicense certain medical cannabis genetics developed in Israel to our Delaware client at its licensed facility.

The Company is currently expanding this relationship to develop programs in Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Illinois, although there is no assurance that this expansion will result in increased revenues for the Company.

Competition

The Company has a comprehensive suite of products and services for the cannabis industry. There are companies that provide some of these services and only a few others that provide the depth of such services in multiple states across the country. The emerging cannabis industry is growing at such a pace that there are more opportunities available than these businesses can support. With plenty of business for all, our Company at times works with others to insure a positive image in new and emerging states. Many forget that it is the black market and illegal cannabis traffickers that controlled this business from the shadows and is the competition that is in a downward spiral.

(5)

Intellectual Property

The Company has currently filed for trademark protection for its branded product lines. The Company maintains one trademark from it dormant online portal business.

Our proprietary processing, and manufacturing techniques and technologies, while not patented at this time, are kept strictly confidential. We enter into and enforce confidentiality agreement with key employees and consultants to protect our IP and general know-how.

Employees

During 2017, the Company expanded to twelve full time employees and retains a variety of consultants and professionals for support. The Company utilizes many of the employees of the license holders we advise to implement our policies and procedures.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to numerous risks, including but not limited to those set forth below. Our operations and performance could also be subject to risks that do not exist as of the date of this report but emerge thereafter as well as risks that we do not currently deem material.

Risks related to our operations

Our auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not generate substantial revenue and are also unable to obtain capital from other resources, we will significantly curtail our operations or halt them entirely.

Our operations require substantial funds to acquire and develop new facilities. We have only limited cash or cash equivalents. Our capital requirements for the development and commercialization of our cannabis-based business will continue to be significant. We will be dependent on financings to fund our development, working capital needs and the cost of acquiring and building out future facilities. Accordingly, if we do not acquire profitable companies or otherwise significantly increase our revenues, we would have to diminish our operations. The opinion of our auditors contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. It is a Schedule I controlled substance. Even in those jurisdictions in which the use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, its prescription is a violation of federal law. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes. Therefore, federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana trumps state laws that legalize its use for even medicinal purposes. At present the states are standing tall against the federal government, maintaining existing laws and passing new ones in this area. States continue to exert this freedom notwithstanding Attorney General Sessions officially leaving prosecution discretion against state licensed cannabis facilities to local US Attorneys district by district. This was a change from the Obama administration which under Attorney General Holder, had a policy decision to allow states to implement these laws and not prosecute anyone operating in accordance with applicable state law. The United States House of Representatives continues to not fund in the budget any funds for the Department of Justice to prosecute state compliant licensed cannabis companies. However, we continually face election cycles, and a new administration or Congress could introduce a less favorable policy. A change in the federal attitude towards enforcement could cripple the industry. However, the medical marijuana industry is our primary target market, and if this industry was unable to operate, we would lose the majority of our potential clients, which would have a significantly negative impact on our business, operations and financial condition.

Our success is dependent on additional states legalizing marijuana.

Continued development of the marijuana market is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of marijuana at the state level for medical and adult recreational use. Any number of factors could slow or halt the progress. Further, progress, while encouraging, is not assured and the process normally encounters set-backs before achieving success. While there may be ample public support for legislative proposal, key support must be created in the legislative committee or a bill may never advance to a vote. Numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt the progress and adoption of marijuana for medical and/or recreational purposes, which would limit the market for our products and negatively impact our business and revenues.

(6)

It will be difficult for you to evaluate us based on our past performance because we are a relatively new company with a limited operating history.

We have been actively engaged in the marijuana related business for a relatively short period of time and, accordingly, have only limited financial results on which you can evaluate our company and operations. We are subject to, and must be successful in addressing, the risks typically encountered by new enterprises and companies operating in the rapidly evolving cannabis marketplace, including those risks relating to:

	●	the failure to develop brand name recognition and reputation;

	●	the failure to achieve market acceptance of our services;

	●	a slowdown in general consumer acceptance of legalized marijuana; and

	●	an inability to grow and adapt our business to evolving consumer demand.

The alternative medicine industry faces strong opposition.

It is believed by many that existing, entrenched, well-funded, businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the medical marijuana industry as currently formed. For example, we believe that the pharmaceutical industry does not want to cede control of any compound that could become a strong selling drug. Specifically, medical marijuana will likely adversely impact the existing market for Marinol, the current “marijuana pill” sold by mainstream pharmaceutical companies. Further, the medical marijuana industry could face a material threat from the pharmaceutical industry should marijuana displace other drugs or simply encroach upon the pharmaceutical industry’s market share for compounds such as marijuana and its component parts. The pharmaceutical industry is well funded with a strong and experienced lobby that eclipses the funding of the medical marijuana movement. Any inroads the pharmaceutical industry makes in halting or rolling back the medical marijuana movement could have a detrimental impact on the market for our products and thus on our business, operations and financial condition.

Our clients may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for them to purchase our products and services.

As discussed above, the use of marijuana is illegal under federal law. Therefore, there are banks that will not accept for deposit funds from sale of cannabis and may choose not to do business with our clients. While a member of Congress has stated he will seek an amendment to banking regulations and laws in order to allow banks to transact business with state-authorized medical marijuana businesses, there can be no assurance his legislation will be successful, that banks will decide to do business with medical marijuana retailers, or that in the absence of legislation state and federal banking regulators will not create issues on banks handling funds generated from an activity that is illegal under federal law. Notwithstanding, the Company has been able to secure state-chartered banks that are in compliance with federal law and provide certain banking services to companies in the cannabis industry. The inability of potential clients in our target market to open accounts and otherwise use the service of banks may make it difficult for them to purchase our products and services.

We may not be able to economically comply with any new government regulation that may be adopted with respect to the cannabis industry.

New legislation or regulation, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the medical and consumer cannabis industries could add additional costs and risks to doing business. We are subject to regulations applicable to businesses generally and laws or regulations directly applicable to communications over the Internet and access to e-commerce. Although there are currently few laws and regulations regulating the cannabis products, it is reasonable to assume that as cannabis use becomes more mainstream that the FDA and or other federal, state and local governmental agencies will impose regulations covering the cultivation, purity, privacy, quality control, security and many other aspects of the industry, all of which will likely raise the cost of compliance thereby reducing profits or even making it more difficult to continue operations, either of which scenarios, if they occur, could have a negative impact on our business and operations.

Our limited resources may restrict our ability to manage any growth we may experience.

Growth of our business may place a significant strain on our management systems and resources and may require us to implement new operating and financial systems, procedures and controls. Our failure to manage our growth and expansion could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Failure to implement new systems effectively or within a reasonable period of time could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The market may not readily accept our products.

Demand and market acceptance for our licensed branded new cannabis infused products are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The successful introduction of any new product requires a focused, efficient strategy to create awareness of and desire for the products. For example, in order to achieve market acceptance for our marijuana products we will need to gain market and patient acceptance.

Our marketing strategy may be unsuccessful and is subject to change as a result of a number of factors, including changes in market conditions (including the emergence of new market segments which in our judgment can be readily exploited through the use of our technology), the nature of possible license and distribution arrangements and strategic alliances which may become available to us in the future and general economic, regulatory and competitive factors. There can be no assurance that our strategy will result in successful product commercialization or that our efforts will result in initial or continued market acceptance for our proposed products.

(7)

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may be able to use our technology or trademarks, which could weaken our competitive position.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We also intend to enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and customers, and control access to and distribution of our products, and other proprietary information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products.

If we lose our key employee or fail to hire and retain other talented employees when necessary, our operations could be harmed.

The success of our business is currently dependent, in large part, on the personal efforts of Messrs. Robert Fireman, Jon R. Levine, and Tim Shaw, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief operating officer, respectively. The loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on our business. The success of our business is currently dependent, in large part, upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified management, marketing, technical, financial, and other personnel if and when our growth so requires. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may not be able to hire or retain such additional qualified personnel. Any inability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel would have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business and operations.

In order to be successful, we must be able to enhance our existing products and develop and introduce new products and services to respond to changing market demand.

The markets in which we operate are characterized by frequently changing customer demand and the introduction of new products and services. In order to be successful, we must be able to enhance our existing services and products and develop and introduce new products and services to respond to changing market demand. The development and enhancement of services and products entails significant risks, including:

	●	the failure to conform our services and products to evolving industry standards;

	●	the inability to develop, introduce and market enhancements to our existing services and products or new services and products on a timely basis; and

	●	the non-acceptance by the market of such new service and products.

We currently have only limited resources to enhance our technology or to develop new products.

(8)

Risks related to our common stock

Possible issuances of our capital stock would cause dilution to our existing shareholders.

While we currently have only approximately 180 million shares of common stock outstanding we are authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock. Therefore, we will be able to issue a substantial number of additional shares without obtaining shareholder approval. In the event we elect to issue additional shares of common stock in connection with any financing, acquisition or otherwise, current shareholders could find their holdings substantially diluted, which means they will own a smaller percentage of our company. In addition, we are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of blank preferred stock that our board of directors can issue under any terms it wants and without any shareholder approval.

No dividends have been paid on our common stock.

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the payment of cash dividends may be limited or prohibited by the terms of any future loan agreements.

We are subject to “penny stock” regulations which may adversely impact the liquidity and price of our common stock.

Our common stock is currently deemed a “penny stock.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information on penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally, those persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding the value of their primary residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse), the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.

These requirements could reduce the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result of the foregoing, our shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

In November 2017, the Company closed on a 137,500 square foot industrial property located on 21.95 acres within the New Bedford Industrial Park. Approximately half of the available square footage is leased to a non-cannabis manufacturing company under a 5-year lease. The Company has started a buildout of the remaining half of the building into a cannabis cultivation and processing facility which is leased to a cannabis licensee under a 20-year triple net lease, the term of which will start after the completion of construction.

Middleborough, Massachusetts

In July 2017 the Company purchased a 22,700 square foot retail and warehouse building located on the main street of this municipality. We are currently constructing a 10,000 square foot retail dispensary which will be leased to the same cannabis licensee that leases our New Bedford facility under a 20-year lease starting mid-2018.

The Company’s corporate office is located at 26 Ossipee Road, Newton, MA 02464. The space is subleased from a related party at a cost of $24,000 per year. The lease for this office will expire in July 2018, and we are presently negotiating a lease for new space. We believe that each facility meets all current regulatory guidelines and is, along with the planned corporate office, adequate for its intended purpose.

Overview

General

We are a management advisory company in the emerging cannabis industry. We provide our clients with industry leading expertise in the design, development, operation, funding, and optimization of medical cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities. Our team acquires land and/or real estate for the purpose of developing state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant legal cannabis facilities. These facilities are models of excellence in horticultural principals, cannabis production, product development, and dispensary operations. These facilities are leased to the Company’s clients who are entities that have been awarded legal and medical marijuana licenses from multiple states. Along with this operational oversight, the Company provides its clients with legal, accounting, human resources, and other corporate and administrative services

Please refer to the section of our December 31, 2017 Form 10-K entitled Item 2. Properties for a description of our active and currently in-development facilities.

In addition to our medical cannabis facilities, we are on the forefront of the development of precision-dosed cannabis medicine for the treatment of specific medical conditions and related symptoms. Our branded products, such as Kalm Fusion™ and the recently acquired Betty’s Eddies™, are licensed and distributed in cannabis-legal states across the country.

Since our inception in 2011, we have also operated an online portal that offers multi-user virtual environments to users. While this business segment owns a proprietary technology platform, select URLs and a vast inventory of digital assets, it has had insignificant operations since early 2014, and provides a negligible contribution to the business.

In May 2014, the Company, through its subsidiary MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”), acquired Sigal Consulting LLC in exchange for (i) an aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares on the closing date, (ii) options to purchase three million shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable over five years with exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.35, and (iii) a 49% ownership interest in MMA.

In June 2017, we acquired the remaining 49% interest in MMA in exchange for 75 million shares of restricted common stock.

(12)

Revenues

Revenues are predominantly generated by our medical cannabis operating segment. Such revenues are generally comprised of: subleasing contracts with our cannabis licensee clients; consulting services to companies operating in the legal and medical cannabis industry; production arrangements for the procurement of cannabis resources; and licensing revenues from the sale of our branded products.

Subleasing revenue is derived from the rental of our regulatory-compliant, medical cannabis facilities to companies that have been awarded cannabis licenses, but who otherwise do not have the resources to develop such facilities.

Consulting revenue is generated from the guidance we provide entities to attain medical cannabis licenses, and from the expert services we deliver, which include best practices and standard operating procedures, in support of the cultivation and dispensing of medical cannabis.

Production revenue is generated from agreements with third parties to provide our medical cannabis clients with materials necessary for the production and dispensing of medical marijuana.

Licensing revenue arises from the sale of our branded precision-dosed cannabis-infused products, such as Kalm Fusion™ and Betty’s Eddies™, to legal dispensaries throughout the country.

Revenue generated by our dormant online portal business were negligible.

Expenses

We classify our expenses into three broad categories:

	●	cost of revenues, which includes the direct costs associated with the generation of our revenues and depreciation expense on our properties and equipment;

	●	operating expenses, which include the sub-categories of personnel, marketing and promotion, and general and administrative; and

	●	non-operating expense, which include the sub-categories of interest, non-cash equity compensation, non-cash losses on debt settlements, and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities.

(13)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company raised in excess of $20 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 via the issuance of common stock, subscriptions on preferred stock, promissory notes, and membership interests in majority-owned subsidiaries. We are continuing to raise capital in 2018, as disclosed in our audited financial statements, and we plan to pursue additional sources of capital throughout 2018, although there can be no assurance that any such capital will become available.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased over 70% to approximately $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $3.6 million from the same period a year ago. This significant increase was primarily due to the expanding operations of our medical cannabis clients from whom we earn subleasing, consulting, and production fees. For the year ended December 31, 2017, these clients’ revenues increased nearly 80% to approximately $12.2 million from $6.8 million for the same period in 2016.

Cost of revenues, including depreciation increased 58% from approximately $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 to approximately $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase is in line with the increase in revenues, while also showing continued leveraging of our infrastructure to generate high margins. Gross profit increased by approximately $1.6 million year-over-year, and increased slightly as a percentage of revenue from 55% for the year ended December 31, 2016 to 58% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Personnel expenses increased to approximately $737,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 from $227,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase was the result of our investment in staffing and related resources to support the higher level of revenues.

Marketing and promotion costs decreased from approximately $293,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $130,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease is due to the lower need to use third-parties to promote the Company within the cannabis industry.

General and administrative costs increased to approximately $1,439,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 from approximately $651,000 for the same period a year ago. This increase is commensurate our need to invest in an effective support structure to enable the growth of revenues and the overall business.

Non-operating expenses were primarily comprised of (i) interest expense on our mortgage and notes payable, offset by interest income on our note receivable, and (ii) two non-cash items: equity compensation representing the fair value of options and warrants issued; and losses arising from the settlements of debt by the issuance of common stock as determined by the fair value of the stock on the settlement dates. These non-cash items are required by generally accepted accounting principles, but have no effect on the operating earnings or liquidity of the Company. These non-cash items are the primary cause for the large year-over-year variation in non-operating expenses.

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of approximately $1,029,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to net income of approximately $321,000 from the same period a year ago. The loss in the current period is due to the previously explained large non-cash expenses which had no impact on the Company’s operating income or cash flow. Without these non-cash items, net income would have been approximately $694,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

(14)

2018 Plans

During 2018, we expect the investments we have made in Maryland and Massachusetts to begin to generate significant revenue. We will continue to look to win additional licenses in states with new or expanded cannabis programs such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, and Florida.

We also expect to launch our licensed branded product lines into many additional states across the country. We will be open to forge strategic alliances and relationships, explore acquisition opportunities, develop additional products, and continue to extend our focus in the cannabis market through the growth of the Company’s existing sales channels and through a variety of additional sales relationships which are currently being explored.

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented will necessarily yield positive results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Inflation

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.

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 may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Marimed Inc. And Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Marimed Inc. And Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the two years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over consolidated financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over consolidated financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Marimed Inc. And Subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for two years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

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.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MariMed Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of: subleasing contracts with our medical cannabis clients; consulting services to companies operating in the legal and medical cannabis industries; production arrangements for the procurement of cannabis resources; and licensing revenues from the sale of our branded products.

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: evidence of an arrangement exists such as a signed contract, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This will usually be in the form of a receipt of customer acceptance and satisfaction with delivered product, or in the case of development and service revenue, when services have been performed.

Deferred revenue represents cash payments received before revenue is earned; the corresponding costs are also deferred until such revenue is ultimately recognized.

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, seven to thirty-nine years; tenant improvements, the remaining duration of the related lease; furniture and fixtures, seven years; machinery and equipment, five to ten years. Land is not depreciated.

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. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value.

Impairment analyses are based on management’s current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. 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.

(23)

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, based on its impairment analyses, the Company did not have any impairment losses.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“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.

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 utilizing the binomial options pricing model and employing the following inputs: life of instrument, exercise price, value of the underlying security on issuance date, and 2-year volatility of underlying security.

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.

Stock-Based Compensation

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.

(24)

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 no adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

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 Share

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.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were 8,399,000 and 10,375,000 potentially dilutive securities in the form of options and warrants. In addition, there were 500,000 shares of convertible preferred stock and $1,350,000 of convertible promissory notes that were potentially dilutive whose conversion into common stock will be based on a discount to the market value of common stock on or about the future conversion date. All 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 calculation. For that reason, the calculations of basic and fully diluted net income per share were identical for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. These options and warrants may dilute earnings per share in the future.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows ASC 450, Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been 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.

(25)

While not assured, and based upon information available at this time, management does not believe that a loss contingency exists that will have material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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; 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.

As disclosed in Note 1, the Company acquired Sigal Consulting LLC in May 2014. At the time of the transaction, Sigal Consulting LLC was partially owned by a director of the Company and by individuals who became the Company’s CEO and CFO in 2018.

On June 2017, the Company acquired the remaining 49% interest in MariMed Advisors Inc. from its ownership group, which included a director of the Company and individuals who became the CEO and CFO of the Company in 2018, for an aggregate 75 million shares of common stock.

In September 2017, the former CEO of the Company, who is a currently a Board member, exercised options to purchase 4.5 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, as disclosed in Note 6 above.

In October 2017, the Company acquired the intellectual property, formulations, recipes, proprietary equipment, and know-how of the Betty’s Eddies™ brand of cannabis-infused products from a company that is minority-owned by the Company’s chief operating officer. The purchase price was $140,000 plus subscriptions on 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the selling company shall be paid a royalty based on a percentage of the Company’s revenue associated with the Betty’s Eddies™ product line, commencing at 25% and decreasing to 2.5% as certain sales thresholds are met. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company earned approximately $40,000 of revenue and paid royalties of approximately $10,000.

After applying the total purchase price, which consisted of the cash paid plus the fair value of the subscribed common stock on the date of the transaction, to the assessed fair values of the assets purchased, the transaction gave rise to goodwill of approximately $333,000. At December 31, 2017, the Company reviewed the goodwill for impairment and determined that, based on the present value of future cash flows of the acquired assets, there was no impairment. The goodwill is included in other assets in the financial statements.

At December 31, 2017, the Company owed approximately $19,000 and $14,000 to the CEO and CFO, respectively.

NOTE 11 – REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

In November 2017, the Company closed on a 137,500 square foot industrial property located on 21.95 acres in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Approximately half of the available square footage is leased to a non-cannabis manufacturing company under a 5-year lease. The Company has started development of the remaining half of the building into a cannabis cultivation and processing facility which will be leased to a cannabis licensee under a 20-year lease, the term of which will start after the completion of construction.

In July 2017 the Company purchased a 22,700 square foot retail and warehouse building located on the main street of Middleborough, Massachusetts. The Company is currently constructing a 10,000 square foot retail dispensary which will be leased to the same cannabis licensee tenant of our New Bedford location, under a 20-year lease starting mid-2018.

In January 2017, the Company purchased a long-standing 180,000 square foot former manufacturing facility in Hagerstown, Maryland, which was rehabilitated by the Company into a cultivation and processing facility for a licensed cannabis tenant under a 20-year lease that started January 1, 2018.

In 2016, the Company finalized construction of two free-standing retail dispensaries, each approximately 3,400 square feet, in the cities of Anna and Harrisburg in Illinois. The facilities are leased to licensed cannabis dispensary companies under 20-year leases with 18 years remaining.

The Company leases approximately10,000 square feet of an industrial building that it has built out into a cannabis cultivation facility. This facility is subleased to a licensed cannabis company under a sub-lease which is coterminous with the Company’s lease for 10 years with 6.25 years remaining.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of December 31, 2017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Subject to the inherent limitations described in the following paragraph, our management has concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as December 31, 2017 at the reasonable assurance level.

(33)

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, our internal controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

(36)

Audit Committee

We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Pursuant to Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act, the entire Board of Directors acts as an audit committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of our financial statements. The Commission recently adopted new regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an “audit committee financial expert” serving on its audit committee. We have only recently begun operations, and we are not in a position at this time to attract, retain and compensate additional directors in order to acquire a director who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” or to so designate one of our current directors, but we intend to either retain an additional director who will qualify as such an expert or designate one of our current directors as such an expert, as soon as reasonably practicable. Our current directors, by virtue of their past employment experience, have considerable knowledge of financial statements, finance, and accounting, and have significant employment experience involving financial oversight responsibilities. Accordingly, we believe that our current directors capably fulfill the duties and responsibilities of an audit committee in the absence of such a designated expert at this time.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethic (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our principal chief executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Code of Ethics was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to a previous annual report. The Code of Ethics was designed with the intent to deter wrongdoing, and to promote the following:

	●	Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships

	●	Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Commission and in other public communications we make

	●	Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations

	●	The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code

	●	Accountability for adherence to the code

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, are required to report the ownership of such common stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash-only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and we are required to report, in this Form 10-K, any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Except as disclosed below, we believe that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by its executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock. In making this statement, we have relied solely on copies of any reporting forms received by us, and upon any written representations received from reporting persons that no Form 5 (Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership) was required to be filed under applicable rules of the Commission. Each of our directors and other 5% owners did not timely file one Form 4.

Compensation of Directors

The Board of Directors adopted a compensation program for the directors whereby each non-employee director will receive compensation in the form of stock options for serving on the board. Five-year non-qualified stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock are to be granted annually to each non-employee director then in office at an exercise price equal to the last reported trading price of our common stock on the date of issue, with such options to vest in 12 months, provided the director serves for at least six months, following the date of grant. In addition, every non-employee director upon first joining our board receives 150,000 stock options that vest immediately and are exercisable for five years at a price equal to the last reported trading price of our common stock on that day. Persons becoming a non-employee director in the middle of a year will receive a pro rata amount of options.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation paid to each of our non-employee directors during 2017 for their services rendered as directors.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($)		Stock Awards ($)		Option Awards ($) (1)		Total ($)

Robert Fireman		0		0		0		0

This column represents the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the 2017 fiscal year for the fair value of stock options granted to the named director in fiscal year 2017, in accordance with SFAS 123R. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. These amounts reflect our accounting expense for these awards, and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized from these awards by the named director. The options earned by the directors will be issued in 2018.

(39)

Employment Agreements

An employment agreement executed in 2012 with Thomas Kidrin, the former CEO of the Company, provided Mr. Kidrin with salary, car allowances, life insurance, stock options, a death benefit, and bonuses based on the Company reaching certain milestones.

This agreement was terminated in 2017. The Company has recorded an accrual of approximately $1,043,000 at December 31, 2017 for any amounts that may be owed under this agreement.

Stock Option Plan

On May 31, 2011, our board of directors adopted the 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan which plan was presented to, and approved by, our then sole stockholder, Worlds Inc. That approval notwithstanding, we intend to present the plan to our shareholders for their ratification at our next annual meeting. The plan provides for the issuance of up to nine million options and/or shares of restricted stock of which not more than eight million can be incentive stock options. To date, 8.2 million options have been issued to Directors and officers under the plan.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Our former CEO and CFO are the CEO and CFO of Worlds Inc., and our current CEO is a director of Worlds Inc. We do not have a compensation committee and therefore all of our directors perform the function of a compensation committee, except that board members recuse themselves from all deliberations of the board with respect to their respective compensation to avoid compensation committee interlock.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

We do not have a standing audit committee, and the full Board performs all functions of an audit committee, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services before we engage an accountant. All of the services rendered to us by L&L. were pre-approved by our Board of Directors.

We are presently working with our legal counsel to establish formal pre-approval policies and procedures for future engagements of our accountants. The new policies and procedures will be detailed as to the particular service, will require that the Board or an audit committee thereof be informed of each service, and will prohibit the delegation of pre-approval responsibilities to management. It is currently anticipated that our new policy will provide (i) for an annual pre-approval, by the Board or audit committee, of all audit, audit-related and non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor for the fiscal year, as specifically described in the auditor’s engagement letter, and (ii) that additional engagements of the auditor, which were not approved in the annual pre-approval process, and engagements that are anticipated to exceed previously approved thresholds, will be presented on a case-by-case basis, by the President or Controller, for pre-approval by the Board or audit committee, before management engages the auditors for any such purposes. The new policy and procedures may authorize the Board or audit committee to delegate, to one or more of its members, the authority to pre-approve certain permitted services, provided that the estimated fee for any such service does not exceed a specified dollar amount (to be determined). All pre-approvals shall be contingent on a finding, by the Board, audit committee, or delegate, as the case may be, that the provision of the proposed services is compatible with the maintenance of the auditor’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. In no event shall any non-audit related service be approved that would result in the independent auditor no longer being considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
