EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment” or this “Form 10-Q/A”) to amend and restate certain items in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 8, 2023 (the “Original Filing”).

 

In filing this Amendment, the Company is restating its previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (the “Affected Periods”) to account for material errors due to the believed misappropriation of approximately $22.0 million (the "Misappropriated Funds") of the Company’s funds held by El Capitan Advisors, Inc. (“El Capitan”) as further described below. Those previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon. All material restatement information for the Affected Periods that relates to the errors will be included in this Amendment.

 

Accordingly, investors and other readers should rely only on the financial information and other disclosures regarding the Affected Periods in this Amendment and in any other future filings with the SEC (as applicable) and should not rely on any previously issued or filed reports, corporate presentations or similar communications relating to the Affected Periods. See Note 21 in the restated unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Amendment, as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Restatement Background

 

As reported in a press release issued by the Company on November 17, 2023, on June 20, 2021, the Company engaged El Capitan, an investment advisor registered with the SEC, for cash management services. One of the Company’s accounts managed by El Capitan was held at Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank (collectively “WAB”). Pursuant to a dispute unrelated to the Company, Casa Verde Capital, L.P. and Casa Verde Capital EF, L.P. (collectively “Casa Verde”) obtained a $35.0 million default judgment against El Capitan, which is a portfolio company of Casa Verde. Casa Verde then levied that judgment causing approximately $5.4 million of the Company’s funds held at WAB (the “WAB Funds”) and managed by El Capitan to be directed to the Orange County, California Sheriff’s Office (the “Sheriff’s Office”) on September 21, 2023.

 

On or around October 24, 2023, the Company became aware of the levy against the WAB Funds and thereafter filed a third-party claim (the “WAB Claim”) of exemption asserting rightful ownership over the WAB Funds.

 

The Company has secured a partial settlement with Casa Verde for the release of $3.4 million of the WAB Funds, which the Company received on January 31, 2024. The remaining approximately $2 million of the WAB Funds (the “Remaining Levied Funds”) is still in the possession of the Sheriff’s Office while litigation is ongoing. The Company has not relinquished any right to the Remaining Levied Funds and continues to pursue their return. A hearing on the ultimate disposition of the Remaining Levied Funds is scheduled for April 29, 2024.

 

After filing the WAB Claim in November 2023, the Company also took immediate action to withdraw the remaining approximately $16.5 million that the Company held in two additional Company accounts managed by El Capitan (the “Additional Funds”). The Company was initially informed by El Capitan that the Additional Funds were being wired to the Company in due course. However, on November 14, 2023, El Capitan informed the Company that due to issues in connection with the Casa Verde judgment the wire was not able to be processed. Since November 14, 2023, El Capitan has refused to honor the Company’s further withdrawal requests with respect to the Additional Funds and at this time it is unclear whether the Additional Funds will be returned. Based on discussions with El Capitan to secure the withdrawal of the Additional Funds and purported bank statements provided by El Capitan, the Company has reason to believe that the Additional Funds were misappropriated by El Capitan.

 

On January 22, 2024, the Company initiated a lawsuit in Santa Monica, California against El Capitan, El Capitan’s founder and Chief Executive Officer—Andrew Nash, Casa Verde, Casa Verde’s Managing Member—Karan Wadhera, and Jamie Nash, the spouse of Andrew Nash (collectively, the “Defendants”) seeking approximately $16.5 million in compensatory damages and other relief. The Company alleges that each Defendant is liable for their involvement in a scheme to defraud the Company of funds managed by El Capitan in its capacity as the Company’s fiduciary. The Company is vigorously pursuing its rights against the Defendants and intends to act quickly to enact all necessary remedies available. The Company will continue to vigorously pursue its rights to reclaim the funds that it entrusted to El Capitan and will pursue recovery of its funds through all legally available means, including as appropriate, through cooperation with law enforcement.

On January 25, 2024, as a result of the preliminary information obtained in connection with an ongoing internal investigation, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors of the Company, based on the recommendation of the Company’s management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and the Company’s previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, and each as included in any reports, presentations or similar communications of the Company’s financial results, should no longer be relied upon due to the errors. As a result, the errors require a restatement of the financial statements for the Affected Periods (the “Restatement”) which is reflected in this Amendment. The impact of the errors is described in detail in Note 21 in the restated audited annual consolidated financial statements included in this Amendment. The Company has also amended its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

 

Internal Control Considerations

 

In connection with the Restatement, management has reassessed its evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023 as further described in Part I, Item 4 of this Amendment. Based on such re-assessment, management confirmed that the material weaknesses described in the Form 10-K/A continue to be material weaknesses as of the time of the re-assessment, and that these same material weaknesses contributed to the Restatement. Therefore internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023. Management has taken steps to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. For additional information related to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and the related remedial measures, see Part I, Item 4 of this Amendment for a description of these matters.

 

Items Amended in this Amendment

 

For the convenience of the reader, this Amendment sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety, as amended for the changes related to the Restatement as well as certain additional changes discussed below. The following sections of the Original Filing have been amended as a result of the Restatement:

 

 

Part I — Item 1. Financial Statements

 

Part I — Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Part I — Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Part II — Item 6. Exhibits

 

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Amendment includes new certifications specified in Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act, from the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of this Amendment. The Exhibit Index in Part II — Item 6 is also being amended to reflect the inclusion of the updated exhibits.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Filing, and accordingly, this Amendment does not reflect or purport to reflect any information or events occurring after November 8, 2023, the filing date of the Original Filing, or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

USE OF NAMES AND CURRENCY

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” or “Planet 13” refer to Planet 13 Holdings Inc. together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “$,” “US$” or “USD” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A refer to United States dollars, and all references to “C$,” "CAD$," or “CAD” refer to Canadian dollars.

 

IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY

 

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the “Securities Act,” as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act.” As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other exemptions from requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

 

 

Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

 

Exemptions from non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute; and

 

Exemption from auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of the common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.

1. Nature of Operations

 

Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (“Planet 13” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 26, 2002 and continued under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on September 24, 2019. 

 

On September 15, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Planet 13 Holdings Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Planet 13 BC”) filed articles of domestication and articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and changed its jurisdiction from the Province of British Columbia, Canada, to the State of Nevada (the “Domestication”), pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement (“Plan of Arrangement”).

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and by operation of law, all the rights, privileges and powers of Planet 13 BC, all property owned by Planet 13 BC, all debt due to Planet 13 BC, and all other causes of action belonging to Planet 13 BC immediately prior to the Effective Date remain vested in, or attached to, the Company following the Effective Date.

 

On the Effective Date, each holder of issued and outstanding common share of Planet 13 BC (the “Common Shares”) was deemed to receive one share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), without any action required on the part of the holder thereof. Additionally, each holder of outstanding options to purchase Common Shares was deemed to receive options to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock at the same exercise price per share and otherwise the same terms under the Planet 13 Holdings Inc. 2018 Stock Option Plan, and each holder of restricted share units was deemed to receive restricted share units for an equal number of shares of the Common Stock and otherwise with the same terms and conditions under the Planet 13 Holdings Inc. 2018 Share Unit Plan.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires or otherwise expressly states, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A to Common Shares or common shares refer to the Company’s capital stock prior to the Domestication and all references to shares of Common Stock or common stock refer to the Company’s capital stock after the Domestication.

 

The Company, through its subsidiaries, is a vertically integrated cultivator and provider of cannabis and cannabis-infused products that is licensed under the laws of the States of Nevada, California, Florida, and Illinois. We are licensed in these jurisdictions as follows: six Nevada cultivation licenses (three medical and three adult-use), six Nevada production licenses (three medical and three adult-use), three Nevada dispensary licenses (one medical and two adult-use), one Nevada distribution license, one California adult-use dispensary license, two California distribution licenses, one California adult-use cultivation license, one California adult-use manufacturer license, one Florida Medical Marijuana Treatment Center license (unlimited medical dispensaries, cultivation and processing) and one Illinois conditional adult-use dispensary license. 

 

Planet 13 is a public company with common stock listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol PLTH and quoted on the OTCQX exchange under the symbol “PLNH”.  Prior to the Domestication, the Company’s Common Shares were quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol “PLNHF”.

 

The Company’s registered office and head office address is 2548 W. Desert Inn Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109.

 

While cannabis and CBD-infused products are legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with varying restrictions applicable), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug, whether for medical or recreational use. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for use under medical supervision.

 

The federal government currently is prohibited from prosecuting businesses that operate in compliance with applicable state and local medical cannabis laws and regulations; however, this does not protect adult use cannabis. In addition, if the federal government changes this position, it would be financially detrimental to the Company.

These restated unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to assets or liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Functional currency

 

These restated unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currency.

 

Foreign currency transactions are remeasured to the respective financial currencies of the Company’s entities at the exchange rates in effect on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are measured to functional currency at the foreign exchange rate applicable at the statement of balance sheets date. Non-monetary items are carried at historical rates. Non-monetary items carried at face value denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured to the functional currency at the date when the fair value was determined. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized through profit or loss.

 

iii)

Emerging growth company

 

The Company is an “Emerging Growth Company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it has taken advantage of certain exemptions that are not applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not has a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial reporting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

NGW Acquisition

 

On March 2, 2022, the Company acquired 100% ownership interest of Next Green Wave Holdings, Inc. (“NGW”) and accounted for the transaction as a business combination acquisition pursuant to ASC 805.

 

NGW was incorporated in 2011 and was formed for the purpose of cultivating and selling cannabis products in the state of California, where it owns and operates a cultivation and manufacturing facility.  The Company executed the NGW transaction in order to introduce certain of its brands to the California market; complement its dispensary operations in Santa Ana, California; and expand its California revenue base.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the NGW transaction was $57,574,938 and consisted of $14,788 in cash consideration, $1,239,818 in replacement options and $56,320,332 in share consideration. The share consideration was comprised of 21,361,002 common shares of the Company at a fair value of $C3.34 per common share, which were issued on March 2, 2022.

 

The following table summarizes the allocation of consideration exchanged to the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired:

The purchase price allocations for the NGW transaction reflect various fair value estimates and analyses relating to the determination of fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and residual goodwill. The Company determined the estimated fair value of the acquired working capital, and identifiable intangible assets and goodwill after review and consideration of relevant information including discounted cash flow analyses, market data and management’s estimates, prepared by an independent valuation firm. The estimated fair value of acquired working capital was determined to approximate carrying value.

 

The goodwill arising from the NGW transaction consists of expected synergies from combining operations of the Company and NGW, and intangible assets not qualifying for separate recognition such as formulations, proprietary technologies and acquired know-how. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

 

NGW’s state cannabis licenses and brands represented identifiable intangible assets acquired in the amounts of $11,840,000 and $1,340,000, respectively. The NGW cannabis licenses acquired have an indefinite life and as such will not be subject to amortization while the brands have a definite useful life of three years. As of December 31, 2022, the Company evaluated whether intangible assets and goodwill showed any indicators of impairment, and it was determined that such indicators existed.  As a result of the Company’s analysis, it was determined that the brands and licenses were impaired, resulting in the Company recording an impairment charge of $6,947,778.

 

In connection with the NGW transaction, the Company expensed $1,238,379 of acquisition-related costs, which have been included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the period ended September 30, 2022.

The carrying value of goodwill in each reporting unit is indicative of the expected growth and development of the business. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company identified qualitative indicators of impairment as a result of a downturn in the wholesale pricing of cannabis.  The reduction in the price of wholesale cannabis resulted in a downward adjustment of the future financial forecasts for the Company’s NGW business, which indicated that impairment of the goodwill asset was a more-likely-than-not outcome. A qualitative step zero impairment test was performed on the NGW business which indicated a potential impairment. The Company conducted a quantitative impairment analysis of its NGW reporting unit using the income approach as at December 31, 2022.

 

The recoverable amount of the reporting unit to which goodwill is allocated and the asset group to which indefinite life intangibles are allocated were determined based on fair value using Level 3 inputs in a discounted cash flow analysis. Management tested the NGW asset group for the definite lived assets impairment. The result was impairment for the definite lived assets of the NGW asset group. Where applicable, the Company uses its market capitalization and comparative market multiples to corroborate discounted cash flow results. The significant assumptions applied in the determination of the recoverable amount are described below:

 

 

Cash flows: Estimated cash flows were projected based on actual operating results from internal sources as well as industry and market trends. Estimated cash flows are primarily driven by sales volumes, selling prices and operating costs. The forecasts are extended to a total of six years (and a terminal year thereafter);

 

Terminal value growth rate: The terminal growth rate was based on historical and projected consumer price inflation, historical and projected economic indicators and projected industry growth;

 

Post-tax discount rate: The post-tax discount rate is reflective of the reporting unit’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”). The WACC was estimated based on the risk-free rate, equity risk premium, beta adjustment to the equity risk premium based on a direct comparison approach, an unsystematic risk premium, and after-tax cost of debt based on corporate bond yields; and

 

Tax rate: The tax rates used in determining the future cash flows were those substantively enacted at the respective valuation date.

 

The following table outlines the key assumptions used in calculating the recoverable amount for each CGU and operating segment tested for impairment as at December 31, 2022:

Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, the carrying value of the NGW reporting unit exceeded the fair value and the Company recognized a pre-tax impairment loss of $25,802,688 during the year ended December 31, 2022, relating to the NGW reporting unit.

 

Acquisition of 51% Interest in Planet 13 Illinois

 

On February 7, 2023, the Company purchased the remaining 51% ownership interest in Planet 13 Illinois from a third party pursuant to an option purchase agreement that was entered into between such third party and the Company on August 4, 2022.  The aggregate purchase price for the interest was $1,812,656 and consisted of $866,250 in cash consideration $946,406 in share consideration. The share consideration was comprised of 1,063,377 common shares of the Company at a fair value of C$1.18 (USD $0.89) per common share, which were issued on February 7, 2023.

Florida License Impairment

 

Effective September 15, 2023, the Company completed the Domestication. In connection therewith, the Company engaged an independent valuation firm to provide a valuation report for each of its subsidiary entities. The results of the valuation process indicated that the value of the Company’s Florida subsidiary was less than the carrying amount of such subsidiary. Consequently, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $39,649,448 against the carrying value of its Florida master license. The impairment loss is reflected in the income statement under the caption “Impairment Loss.”

 

7. Leases

 

The Company’s lease agreements are for cultivation, manufacturing, retail office premises and for vehicles. The property lease terms range between 7 years and 21 years depending on the facility and are subject to an average of 2 renewal periods of equal length as the original lease. Certain leases include escalation clauses or payment of executory costs such as property taxes, utilities, or insurance and maintenance.

15. Related Party Transactions and Balances

 

Related party transactions are summarized as follows:

 

(a) Building Lease

 

Prior to March 15, 2022, the Company was the sub-lessee of approximately 2,000 square feet of office space and purchased certain printed marketing collateral and stationery items from a company owned by one of the Company’s Co-CEOs. This entity was sold to an unrelated third-party on March 15, 2022. Amounts paid for rent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 to the related party equaled $nil and $6,010, respectively.  Amounts paid for printed marketing collateral and stationery items to the related party were $nil and $183,914 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

(b) Other

 

A company previously owned by one of the Company’s Co-CEOs until March 15, 2022 paid the Company for storage space. Amounts paid to the Company from the related party for storage space were $nil and $5,968 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is recorded in Other Income for such period.

 

For the three-month period ended  September 30, 2023, no amounts were due to related parties ( December 31, 2022 - $nil).

16. Commitments and Contingencies

 

(a) Construction Commitments

 

The Company had $7,652,142 of outstanding construction commitments as of September 30, 2023.

 

(b) Contingencies

 

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulations at September 30, 2023, medical and adult use cannabis regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.

 

(c) Claims and Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest. 

 

(d) Operating Licenses

 

Although the possession, cultivation, and distribution of marijuana for medical and adult use is permitted in Nevada and California, and for medical use these activities are permitted in Florida, marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance and its use remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana pre-empts state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in the Company’s inability to proceed with our business plans. In addition, the Company’s assets, including real property, cash, equipment, and other goods, could be subject to asset forfeiture because marijuana is still federally illegal.

 

17. Risks

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to discharge its obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. Credit risk arises from cash with banks and financial institutions. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk arising from these financial instruments. The Company limits credit risk by entering into business arrangements with high credit-quality counterparties.

 

The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the existing accounts receivable portfolio as of the reporting dates based on the estimate of expected net credit losses.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company currently does not carry variable interest-bearing debt. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

 

Price risk

 

Price risk is the risk that the trading price of the Company’s shares will fluctuate and result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability. The Company is not exposed to significant price risk.

PLANET 13 HOLDINGS INC.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, in United States Dollars, except share amounts)

 

Liquidity risk

 

The Company’s approach to managing risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, obligations under operating leases and taxes. The Company manages liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Historically, the Company’s main source of funding has been the public issuance of common equity. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity financing.

 

Concentration risk

 

The Company operates exclusively in Southern Nevada and Southern California. Should economic conditions deteriorate within that region, its results of operations and financial position would be negatively impacted.

 

Banking risk


Notwithstanding that a majority of states have legalized medical marijuana, there has been no change in US federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry. Given that US federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept or deposit funds from businesses involved with the marijuana industry. Consequently, businesses involved in the marijuana industry often have difficulty accessing the US banking system and traditional financing sources. The inability to open bank accounts with certain institutions may make it difficult to operate the business of the Company and leave the Company’s cash holdings vulnerable.

 

Asset forfeiture risk

 

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under US federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property was never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

Currency rate risk

 

As at September 30, 2023, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held in Canadian dollars consist of cash of $175,535 ( December 31, 2022 - $1,172,859). The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency cash flows by transacting, to the greatest extent possible, with third parties in the functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency rate risk in other comprehensive income, relating to foreign subsidiaries which operate in a foreign currency. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time.

 

The Company’s exposure to a 10% change in the foreign exchange rate at  September 30, 2023 equals $17,554.

19. Government Assistance Program

 

On March 18, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Act was enacted (“FFCRA”). On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES”) was enacted. Together, these acts created refundable payroll tax credits for paid sick leave, paid family leave and an employee retention credit.  The CARES Act was subsequently modified by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, enacted December 27, 2020, which amended and extended the employee retention credit under the CARES Act for the first and second quarters of 2021. The American Rescue Act of 2021 further modified and extended the CARES Act for the third and fourth quarters of 2021. These acts provide for a refundable credit against certain employment taxes, including FICA, Medicare and deposits of employee payroll withholding taxes. Income tax credits are not provided for under these acts. The ERC credit, as modified by the foregoing, increased the available credit from 50% of qualified wages of up $10,000 per quarter paid to an employee, or $5,000 per qualified employee per quarter, to 70% of qualified wages of up to $10,000 per quarter, or $7,000 per qualified employee per quarter. The Company qualifies for the ERC credit under the CARES Act, as modified.  On June 15, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MM Development Company, Inc., received and recorded payment from the Internal Revenue Service in the amount of $1,955,711 related to the ERC credit for the first quarter of 2021. This amount is included in Other Income, Net on the Company’s Restated Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine month periods ended  September 30, 2023.  The Company accounted for the ERC credit pursuant to the guidance established in ASC 450-30, Gain Contingencies.

21. Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

 

As reported in a press release issued by the Company on November 17, 2023, on June 20, 2021, the Company engaged El Capitan Advisors, Inc. (“El Capitan”), an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), for cash management services. One of the Company’s accounts managed by El Capitan was held at Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank (collectively “WAB”). Pursuant to a dispute unrelated to the Company, Casa Verde Capital, L.P. and Casa Verde Capital EF, L.P. (collectively “Casa Verde”) obtained a $35.0 million default judgment against El Capitan, which is a portfolio company of Casa Verde. Casa Verde then levied that judgment causing approximately $5.4 million of the Company’s funds held at WAB (the “WAB Funds”) and managed by El Capitan to be directed to the Orange County, California Sheriff’s Office (the “Sheriffs Office”) on September 21, 2023.

 

On or around October 24, 2023, the Company became aware of the levy against the WAB Funds and thereafter filed a third-party claim (the “WAB Claim”) of exemption asserting rightful ownership over the WAB Funds.

 

29

 

PLANET 13 HOLDINGS INC.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, in United States Dollars, except share amounts)

 

The Company has secured a partial settlement with Casa Verde for the release of $3.4 million of the WAB Funds, which the Company received on January 31, 2024. The remaining approximately $2 million of the WAB Funds (the “Remaining Levied Funds”) is still in the possession of the Sheriff’s Office while litigation is ongoing. The Company has not relinquished any right to the Remaining Levied Funds and continues to pursue their return. A hearing on the ultimate disposition of the Remaining Levied Funds is scheduled for April 29, 2024.

 

After filing the WAB Claim in November 2023, the Company also took immediate action to withdraw the remaining approximately $16.5 million that the Company held in two additional Company accounts managed by El Capitan (the “Additional Funds”). El Capitan has refused to honor the Company’s further withdrawal requests with respect to the Additional Funds and at this time it is unclear whether the Additional Funds will be returned. Based on discussions with El Capitan to secure the withdrawal of the Additional Funds and purported bank statements provided by El Capitan, the Company has reason to believe that the Additional Funds were misappropriated by El Capitan.

 

On January 22, 2024, the Company initiated a lawsuit in Santa Monica, California against El Capitan, El Capitan’s founder and Chief Executive Officer—Andrew Nash, Casa Verde, Casa Verde’s Managing Member—Karan Wadhera, and Jamie Nash, the spouse of Andrew Nash (collectively, the “Defendants”) seeking approximately $16.5 million in compensatory damages and other relief. The Company alleges that each Defendant is liable for their involvement in a scheme to defraud the Company of funds managed by El Capitan in its capacity as the Company’s fiduciary.  The Company is vigorously pursuing its rights against the Defendants and intends to act quickly to enact all necessary remedies available.

 

On January 25, 2024, in connection with the ongoing internal investigation, the Company concluded that its previously issued audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”) and the Company’s previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 (the “2023 Quarterly Reports” and, together with the 2022 Annual Report, the “Reports” and all financial statements included in the Reports, collectively, the “Affected Financials”) should no longer be relied upon due to material errors due to the believed misappropriation of approximately $22.0 million of the Company’s funds held by El Capitan. The impact of correcting these items was the recognition of a total of $16,283,225 provision for the misappropriated cash that has been reflected in the Affected Financials in the periods when the misappropriation occurred as reflected in the restated financial statements.

 

The impact on the restated unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview of the Company

 

We are a multi-state cannabis operator with licenses to operate in Nevada, California, and Florida, and a conditional dispensing license in Illinois. We are headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, at our superstore dispensary located adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. A detailed description of our corporate history and our business can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 16, 2024. 

 

As of September 30, 2023, we employed approximately 600 people and remain focused on providing our customers with the best products, best services, and an experiential shopping experience at our superstore-themed dispensaries, while expanding our products and sales through neighborhood stores. Each of our state operations is held in state-focused subsidiaries: (a) Newtonian Principles, Inc. for California licensed cannabis dispensing and distribution activities, (b) Next Green Wave, LLC for California licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution activities, (c) MM Development Company, Inc. for all licensed Nevada cannabis cultivation, production, distribution, and dispensing activities, (d) Planet 13 Florida, Inc. (“Planet 13 Florida”) which holds our Florida Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (“MMTC”) license, and (e) Planet 13 Illinois, LLC (“Planet 13 Illinois”) which holds a conditional Illinois social-equity justice impaired dispensing license. We have focused on our large-store dispensing stores as superstores which offer an experiential approach to our customers, including drones, robotics, 3-D mapping projection, cannabis-culture inspired social-media backdrops for customer interaction, customer facing production, one-on-one sales staffing and customer education, and other interactive marketing elements to differentiate from more traditional dispensing locations, which we refer to herein as “neighborhood stores”. Each of our cannabis facilities is state-licensed as an adult-use cannabis facility, a medical cannabis facility, or a dual-use facility allowing for both adult-use and medical cannabis licensed activity, as designated below in the state-by-state breakdown.

 

Nevada

 

As of September 30, 2023, we held the following licensed operations in Nevada: (a) one dual-licensed dispensary superstore adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip with 24,000 square feet of licensed dispensary (the “Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore”), (b) one adult-use “neighborhood store” at 2,300 square feet of licensed dispensary (the “Medizin dispensary”), (c) three dual-licensed production facilities, one of which is co-located and customer-facing at the superstore in Las Vegas with 18,500 square feet of licensed production, (d) three dual-licensed cultivation facilities, one with approximately 16,100 square foot indoor cultivation facility under perpetual harvest cycle, a second with 45,000 square feet co-located with our production license at that facility, and one small indoor rural site in Beatty, Nevada that is expandable up to 2,300,000 square feet of greenhouse located on 80-acres owned by us, also co-located with our production license at that facility, and (e) one cannabis distribution license.

 

At the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore, we also offer ancillary services to our customers, including a restaurant with a liquor license, a retail store, and our online cannabidiol (“CBD”) store which also sells products in our facility.

 

California

 

As of September 30, 2023, we held the following licensed operations in California: (a) an adult-use dispensary superstore co-located with a distribution license at our 33,000 square foot facility in Santa Ana which we built and opened on July 1, 2021 (the “Planet 13 OC Superstore”), (b) an adult-use medium indoor cultivation license co-located with a distribution license at our 35,000 square foot facility in Coalinga, and (c) an adult-use manufacturer Type 6 license at a 4,000 square foot facility in Coalinga.

Florida

 

As of September 30, 2023, we are continuing capital outlays to utilize our Florida MMTC license. Licensed MMTCs are vertically integrated and the only businesses in Florida authorized to dispense medical marijuana cannabis to qualified patients and caregivers. MMTCs are authorized to cultivate, process, transport and dispense medical marijuana. As of September 30, 2023, there were 22 companies with MMTC licenses in Florida, two of which are not yet operational. License holders are not subject to restrictions on the number of dispensaries that may be opened or on the number or size of cultivation and processing facilities they may operate.

 

On July 1, 2022, we, through our subsidiary Planet 13 Florida, closed on a $3,300,000 purchase of a 23-acre parcel of real property, inclusive of a 10,500 square foot building, near Ocala, Florida. The property was previously leased by Planet 13 Florida, and has received Florida OMMU approvals for cultivation, processing, and dispensing activities.

 

As part of our Florida expansion, as of the date of this report, we have entered into four leases for dispensing locations in Florida, which remain subject to completion of tenant improvements and regulatory inspection prior to sales to customers.

 

See Recent Developments for further information related to the Company’s Florida operations and its planned acquisition of VidaCann, LLC.

 

Illinois

 

On August 5, 2021, Planet 13 Illinois, in which we then held a minority interest, won a Conditional Adult Use Dispensing Organization License in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin region from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The conditional license was issued to Planet 13 Illinois on July 22, 2022. We previously owned 49% of Planet 13 Illinois with 51% owned by Frank Cowan, but on February 7, 2023, we exercised and closed on our option to purchase Mr. Cowan’s 51% interest in Planet 13 Illinois for $866,250 in cash and 1,063,377 in common shares of the Company.

 

On February 3, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Planet 13 Chicago, LLC, closed on the purchase of a $2,500,000 real property for a proposed dispensing location in Waukegan, Illinois, for an approximately 8,000 square foot building on 1.9 acres, previously occupied by a financial institution tenant. On November 1, 2022, the Company provided notice of this site selection to the Illinois cannabis regulator. The town of Waukegan is suburb of the greater Chicago area and close to the Illinois-Wisconsin state border.  We have commenced construction of the dispensary and anticipate that it will be operational in late 2023.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic Update for Third Quarter 2023

 

The long-term economic impact of COVID-19 remains unknown and may result in significant impact or changes to ongoing international or national fiscal or enforcement policies, inflation, supply chains, customer purchasing and shopping habits, and other key metrics, any of which could have a significant or material negative effect on the Company.

 

Recent Developments

 

The following are recent developments occurring in the three months ended September 30, 2023, and following that period until the filing date of the Form 10-Q Original Filing: 

 

VidaCann Membership Interest Purchase Agreement

 

On August 28, 2023, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with VidaCann, LLC (“VidaCann”), Loop’s Dispensaries, LLC (“Dispensaries”), Ray of Hope 4 Florida, LLC (“Ray of Hope”) and Loops Nursery & Greenhouses, Inc. (“Nursery” and together with Dispensaries and Ray of Hope, the “Sellers”), David Loop (“Loop”) and Mark Ascik (together with Loop, the “Indemnifying Members”) and Loop, solely in his capacity as Seller Representative, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will acquire from the Sellers all of the membership interests in VidaCann (the “Transaction”).

 

33

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquire VidaCann from the Sellers for agreed consideration at closing of the Transaction (the “ Closing”) equal to the sum of: (i) 78,461,538 shares of common stock of the Company (the “ Base Share Consideration”), of which 1,307,698 shares will be issued to VidaCann’s industry advisor (the “ VC Advisor”) ; (ii) a cash payment of US$4,000,000 (the “ Closing Cash Payment”); and (iii) promissory notes to be issued by the Company to the Sellers in the aggregate principal amount of US$5,000,000, with each of the above components subject to adjustments as set out in the Purchase Agreement. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares of (CAD$0.69) US$0.5071 as of August 25, 2023 on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “ CSE”) (based on the Bank of Canada CAD to USD exchange rate on August 25, 2023 of CAD$1.00=US$1.3606), the total consideration was valued at approximately US$48.9 million at that time. The Purchase Agreement contemplates that VidaCann will continue to have US$3,000,000 of bank indebtedness and US$1,500,000 or less of related party notes to former VidaCann owners at the Closing.
 
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Sellers and VidaCann have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to operate their business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice prior to the Closing and to refrain from taking certain actions without the Company’s consent. The parties have each agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate the Transaction, including to obtain required regulatory approvals and certain consents.
 
The Sellers, Indemnifying Members and the Company have each agreed to customary indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of their respective representations and warranties and failures to perform their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement following the Closing. The Indemnifying Members’ indemnification obligations are subject to certain customary limitations and deductibles.
 
The Transaction is expected to close in, or immediately prior to, the first quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including, among others, (i) the sale of the Company’s MMTC license in Florida to a third party, including any regulatory approvals required to effectuate the sale; (ii) the receipt of all regulatory consents from governmental authorities related to the operation of a cannabis business and consents required by the CSE; (iii) the receipt of certain third-party contractual consents and entry into certain other contractual arrangements; (iv) the entry into a non-compete agreement between the Company and each of the Indemnifying Members and Bobby Loehr; (v) the absence of any law or governmental order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction; (vi) the accuracy of the parties respective representations and warranties; and (vii) the performance by the parties of their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
 
The Sellers will be granted the right on closing to nominate one additional (fifth), director to the board of directors of the Company (the “ Board”).
 
The Board has received a fairness opinion from Evans & Evans, Inc. (“ Evans & Evans”) to the effect that, in its opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the consideration to be paid by the Company is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s shareholders. The fee paid to Evans & Evans in connection with the delivery of its fairness opinion is not contingent on the successful implementation of the Transaction.
 
Post-transaction, and based on the number of outstanding shares as of August 28, 2023, the former equity holders of VidaCann, along with the VC Advisor, are expected to have approximately 26.09% pro forma ownership in the Company on a fully diluted basis, before factoring in any adjustments to the Base Share Consideration. Each Seller and each equityholder of a Seller that holds over 5% in direct or indirect interest in VidaCann and receives Base Share Consideration will be subject to a lock-up agreement restricting trading of the shares received, with the release of one-third of shares from such restrictions six months following Closing and each subsequent six months thereafter. 
 
The Purchase Agreement contains customary termination provisions, including the ability to terminate in the event the Transaction has not been completed by April 30, 2024.
 
Domestication
 

On September 15, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Planet 13 Holdings Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Planet 13 BC”) filed articles of domestication and articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and changed its jurisdiction from the Province of British Columbia, Canada, to the State of Nevada (the “Domestication”), pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement (“Plan of Arrangement”).

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and by operation of law, all the rights, privileges and powers of Planet 13 BC, all property owned by Planet 13 BC, all debt due to Planet 13 BC, and all other causes of action belonging to Planet 13 BC immediately prior to the Effective Date remain vested in, or attached to, the Company following the Effective Date.

 

34

 

On the Effective Date, each holder of issued and outstanding common share of Planet 13 BC (the “Common Shares”) was deemed to receive one share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), without any action required on the part of the holder thereof. Additionally, each holder of outstanding options to purchase Common Shares was deemed to receive options to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock at the same exercise price per share and otherwise the same terms under the Planet 13 Holdings Inc. 2018 Stock Option Plan, and each holder of restricted share units was deemed to receive restricted share units for an equal number of shares of the Common Stock and otherwise with the same terms and conditions under the Planet 13 Holdings Inc. 2018 Share Unit Plan.

 

Acquisitions

 

On March 2, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), we completed our acquisition of NGW. We entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with NGW on December 20, 2021, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire (the “Arrangement”) all of the issued and outstanding common shares of NGW (the “NGW Shares”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Arrangement was approved by the holders of NGW Shares (the “NGW Shareholders”) at a special meeting of NGW Shareholders held on February 25, 2022, and approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia on March 1, 2022.

 

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, at 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver time) (the “Effective Time”) on the Closing Date, we acquired all of the NGW Shares for a total consideration of approximately C$71,791,700 (based on the closing price of our Common Shares (the “Planet 13 Shares”) on the Canadian Securities Exchange on February 28, 2022), and NGW then amalgamated with us. The NGW Shareholders received 0.1145 of one Planet 13 Share (the “Exchange Ratio”) and a nominal cash payment of C$0.0001 for each NGW Share held immediately prior to the Effective Time. As a result, 21,361,002 Planet 13 Shares and $14,788 in cash were issued in exchange for the NGW Shares. In addition, the number of Planet 13 Shares issued to any person pursuant to the Arrangement was rounded down to the nearest whole Planet 13 Share, with a cash consideration paid in lieu of the issuance of such fractional Planet 13 Share of C$3.379 per share.

 

Based upon the Exchange Ratio, all NGW options to acquire NGW Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were also exchanged for our options that will entitle the holders to receive, upon exercise thereof, Planet 13 Shares. As a result, we issued 1,106,925 options in exchange for the NGW options.

 

On February 7, 2023, the Company purchased the remaining 51% ownership interest in Planet 13 Illinois from a third party pursuant to an option purchase agreement that was entered into between such third party and the Company on August 4, 2022.  The aggregate purchase price for the interest was $1,812,656 and consisted of $866,250 in cash consideration $946,406 in share consideration. The share consideration was comprised of 1,063,377 common shares of the Company at a fair value of C$1.18 (USD $0.89) per common share, which were issued on February 7, 2023.

We experienced a 3.3% decrease in net revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and a 5.3% decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in the number of customers at our Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore location compared to the prior year periods, partially offset by an increase in wholesale revenue from the NGW cultivation operations in California, and an increase in net wholesale revenue in Nevada. Overall, net revenue decreased by $834,978 or 3.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and decreased by $4,193,495 or 5.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. We believe that a potential economic downturn and increase in inflation, including the increase in the price of gasoline and the increase in interest rates, combined to reduce the disposable income of our customers during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and also had an impact on the number of customers and tourists visiting the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore and our other retail locations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the prior year period.

Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 44.7% compared to 41.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and was 44.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 46.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in gross profit margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a result of a decrease in retail sales incentives during the period, from 30.2% of gross revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 to 26.5% of gross revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 partially offset by the increase in wholesale revenue, both from our Nevada and California wholesale operations, that have an inherently lower gross margin than retail sales revenue.  The decrease in gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due primarily to lower margin wholesale revenue comprising a greater percentage of revenue than during the prior year period (17.7% as compared to 12.6%). 

 

The costs of internal cultivation have continued to trend down as we continue to improve our yields and cultivation efficiency across all of our cultivation facilities. In addition, margin enhancement through the creation of internally generated brands, such as TRENDI, Leaf & Vine, HaHa Gummies, Dreamland Chocolate, HaHa Beverages and Medizin, that were sold in our own stores continued to have a positive impact on gross margins during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, helping to partially offset the lower margins received on the sale of wholesale product and sales to local customers in the State of Nevada. We anticipate that margins will trend upward if and when tourist customers return to Las Vegas and the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore in greater numbers and through our ability to produce our award-winning brands in California and introduce those brands into our Planet 13 OC Superstore.

 

Our premium cultivation facilities were operating near capacity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The amount of cannabis grown during the period increased when compared to the prior year period due to the full nine months of results from the addition of the 35,000 square feet of cultivation capacity that was added as part of the NGW acquisition on March 2, 2022, and the 22,000 square foot cultivation facility expansion in Nevada that was fully operational during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The wholesale flower market in California continues to stabilize and we have seen increases in both demand and the price received for premium indoor grown flower during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Overall gross profit was $11,072,933 and $10,558,902 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively, an increase of $514,031, or 4.9%, and was $33,837,978 and $37,284,413 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively, a decrease of $3,446,435, or 9.2%. General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses (which include non-cash share-based compensation expenses) increased by 0.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Overall, excluding non-cash share-based compensation expenses, G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue equaled 43.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 36.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and was 41.9% and 38.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

Non-cash, share based compensation of $602,977 was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreasing from $2,037,765 that was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-cash share-based compensation expense was $1,926,595, a decrease of 68.7% from the $6,154,338 recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is attributable to the vesting schedule for both Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and incentive stock options that were previously granted, particularly the net 3,954,213 RSUs that were granted on April 18, 2021, that vested 1/3 on December 1, 2021 and 1/3 on December 1, 2022, and that will vest 1/3 on December 1, 2023. These amounts are non-cash, and the expense is recognized in accordance with the vesting schedule of the underlying stock options and RSUs. See Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022, for additional details on the assumptions used to calculate fair value as well as information regarding the vesting of the various components of the non-cash share-based compensation.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 43.7% or $409,997 during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and by 65.4% or $1,587,556 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was a result of us continuing to refine our marketing efforts to optimize marketing spend on initiatives that drive increased customer traffic to the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore, the Planet 13 OC Superstore, and the Medizin dispensary in Nevada.

 

Lease expense increased by 6.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to increases in number of leases and contracted lease rates for the Company’s leased properties during the period. Lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 18.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to increases in number of leases and contracted lease rates for the Company’s leased properties during the period.

 

Depreciation and amortization decreased 0.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, when compared to the prior year period because of the recording of depreciation on the NGW cultivation facility for a full quarter when compared to the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, depreciation and amortization increased 3.4% when compared to the prior year period because of the recording of depreciation on the NGW cultivation facility for a full nine months when compared to the prior year period.

In connection with the Domestication, the Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to determine the fair value of each of the Company’s separate operating units. The results of the appraisal indicated that an impairment of the Company’s Florida license had occurred. Consequently, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $39,649,448 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This impairment was non-cash and does not impact the Company's ongoing activities in Florida.

 

Interest income, net was $10,834 earned during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to interest income, net of $54,239 earned during the three months ended September 30, 2022 (interest income of $159,728 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to interest income of $96,349 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022). Interest income is net of interest expense related to accrued interest on our long-term debt that is due and payable on demand. The interest previously recognized included interest reported on the misappropriated funds. This excess interest has been removed and the amounts included in this restatement are actual cash interest received and paid on funds held net of the misappropriated funds. The balance of long-term debt as of September 30, 2023, was $884,000 compared to $884,000 as of December 31, 2022. Interest is being accrued on this note at a rate of 5% per annum.

 

We conduct our operations in both United States dollars and Canadian dollars, holding financial assets and incurring expenses in both currencies. On December 31, 2022, the value of the USD was USD$1.00=CAD$1.3544 compared to the value of the USD of USD$1.00=CAD$1.3590 at September 30, 2023 and averaged USD$1.00=CAD$1.3454 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulting in our realizing a foreign exchange gain of 203 during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $1,834 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 (foreign exchange gain of $6,318 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss of $23,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022). It is our policy not to hedge our CAD exposure.

 

Warrants are accounted for in accordance with the applicable authoritative accounting guidance in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”), as derivative liabilities based on the specific terms of the warrant agreements. Liability-classified instruments are recorded at fair value at each reporting period with any change in fair value recognized as a component of change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Transaction costs allocated to warrants that are presented as a liability are expensed immediately within other expenses (income) in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the change in fair value of the warrants resulted in a gain of $0 (gain of $18,127 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023) compared to a gain of $197,721 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (gain of $6,992,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022).

 

Provision for misappropriated funds consists of funds that were misappropriated by the Company’s external investment advisor over the period from November 2021 through to September 30, 2023. We are conducting an internal investigation into the misappropriation, with the assistance of external legal counsel. From evidence revealed to the Company as part of the investigation process, we were provided with factual information from WAB regarding the misappropriated funds and were able to confirm which periods funds were misappropriated.  During the three months ended September 30, 2023 $0 was misappropriated compared to $0 that was misappropriated during the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $2,000,000 was misappropriated and this resulted in an increase to the net loss for the year by $2,000,000. This compares to $7,000,000 that was misappropriated during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that resulted in a $7,000,000 increase in the net loss. We have filed a claim and are diligently trying to recover the misappropriated funds.  Any future recovery of misappropriated funds will be recognized in the period in which the recovery occurs. See Explanatory N to this Form 10-Q/A for further information.

 

Other income (expense), consisting of Employer Retention Credits, Automated Teller Machine fees, and other miscellaneous income/expense was income of $98,861 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to other income of $41,487 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,956,064 compared to other income of $270,254 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $2,365,207 compared to $2,222,504 for the prior year period. The tax expense increased due to the increase in taxable profitability during the three months ended September 30, 2023, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $7,561,151 compared to $7,871,349 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The tax expense decreased due to the decrease in taxable profitability during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We are subject to Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), which prohibits businesses from taking deductions or credits in carrying on any trade or business consisting of trafficking in certain controlled substances that are prohibited by federal law. We, to the extent our “trafficking” activities, and/or key contract counterparties directly engaged in trafficking in cannabis, have incurred significant tax liabilities from the application of Section 280E. Our income tax obligations under Section 280E of the Code are typically substantially higher as compared to companies to which Section 280E does not apply. Section 280E essentially requires us to pay federal, and as applicable, state income taxes on gross profit, which presents a significant financial burden that increases our net loss and may make it more difficult for us to generate net profit and cash flow from operations in future periods. In addition, to the extent that the application of Section 280E creates a financial burden on contract counterparties, such burdens may impact the ability of such counterparties to make full or timely payment to us, which would also have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

The overall net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $46,254,236 (($0.21) per share) compared to an overall net loss of $6,322,571 (($0.03) per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The overall net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $59,350,477 (($0.27) per share) compared to an overall net loss of $17,453,668 (($0.08) per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Segmented Disclosure

 

The Company determined that each of its locations represents an operating segment. These operating segments have been aggregated into a single reportable segment as the Company operates as a vertically integrated cannabis company with dispensary, cultivation, production and distribution operations in the State of Nevada and dispensary, cultivation and distribution operations in the State of California.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2023, our financial instruments consist of cash, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable. We have no speculative financial instruments, derivatives, forward contracts, or hedges.

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had working capital of $26,642,325 compared to working capital of $41,612,664 as of December 31, 2022. The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity in the form of cash on hand to fund all its planned capital expenditures and expansion plans as well as to continue to fund its operation over the next 12 months, the planned build-out of its operations in Florida, the further expansion of operations in Nevada and California, and the continuing build-out of its Illinois retail location.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $6,844554 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $13,148,271 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.  The change in cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased by $6,303,717 as a result of fewer development projects that were in process during the 2023 period when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.  The Company is in the process of completing the remaining build-out of the Superstore grand hallway and grey shell for the Cannabition museum space and the buildout of its Illinois dispensary, all expected to be substantially complete in the fourth quarter of 2023.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company was focused on the expansion of its Bell Drive cultivation facility in Nevada and the acquisition of Next Green Wave Inc. in California.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was ($267,526) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $97,980 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Capital Resources

 

We have a recent history of operating losses. It may be necessary for us to arrange for additional financing to meet our on-going growth initiatives.

 

Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes the risks attached thereto. There can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing may be favorable.

 

Should financing not be available, the Company has adequate liquidity in the form of cash on hand to fund all of its planned capital expenditures and expansion plans as well as to continue to fund its operation over the next 12 months, including the planned build-out of its operations in Florida and the continuing build-out of its Illinois retail location.

 

Capital Management

 

Our capital consists of shareholders’ equity. Our objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the development of our businesses and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through equity financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance we will be able to raise funds in the future. We invest all capital that is surplus to our immediate operational needs in short-term, highly liquid, and high-grade financial instruments. There were no changes to our approach to capital management during the period. We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023, or as of December 31, 2022, or as of the date hereof.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.

 

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as set forth in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

There have been no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers (“Co-CEOs”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the risk related to controls and procedures.

 

In connection with the preparation of the Original Filing, as of September 30, 2023, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Co-CEOs and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, at the time the Original Filing was filed, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2023.

 

In connection with the Restatement, management has reassessed its evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30 2023. Based on such re-assessment, management confirmed that the material weaknesses described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022 continue to be material weaknesses as of the time of the re-assessment, and that these same material weaknesses contributed to the Restatement.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

We identified that certain process-level controls associated with third party vendor selection, retention and monitoring and well as processes designed to mitigate risks associated with fraud were not operated effectively. These ineffective controls were attributable to insufficient policies and procedures and training that impaired our ability to timely discover potential third party fraudulent activity.

 

The control deficiencies described above created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, we concluded that the deficiencies, in the aggregate, represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023.

 

The above-described material weaknesses have not been remediated as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Since identifying the material weaknesses described above, management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, has already implemented and continues to implement enhanced policies and procedures intended to address both the identified material weaknesses and to enhance the Company’s overall internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. As part of the remediation, we have also added an independent director to the Board who now serves as chairman of the audit committee. The former chair of the audit committee has become an executive director and has taken on the role of Chief Administrative Officer and is overseeing the internal audit function for the Company.

 

As we continue to evaluate and improve our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, management may determine to take additional measures to improve controls and determine to modify the remediation plan described above. We are working to remediate the material weaknesses as efficiently and effectively as possible, but the material weaknesses cannot be considered fully remediated until the updated policies and training have been in place and operated for a sufficient period of time to enable management to conclude, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. Accordingly, management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the activities affected by the material weaknesses described above.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the material weaknesses and remediation plan discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

There are no actual or to our knowledge contemplated legal proceedings material to us or our subsidiaries or to which any of our subsidiaries' property is the subject matter.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to the risk factor set forth below and other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, financial results, or future performance. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Implications of being a smaller reporting company

 

Based on our public float, as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, we determined that we requalify as a smaller reporting company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

Smaller reporting companies are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosure and have certain other reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; and not being required to furnish a stock performance graph in our annual report.

 

We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions. We have taken advantage of reduced reporting burdens in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on certain or all of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

The Company made no unregistered sales of securities during the quarter covered by this report that have not previously been disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
