1. Nature of Business

 

Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us” or “Company”) is a publicly-traded company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our previous legal name was Diversified Opportunities, Inc. Our Company operates our business activities through multiple subsidiaries, which includes SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC”), SugarRush, Inc., a California corporation and NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation.

 

Sugarmade, Inc. was founded in 2010. In 2014, CarryOutSupplies.com was acquired by Sugarmade, Inc., creating the Company as it is today.

 

Sugar Rush, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, seeks to enter the business of operating and investing in specialized licensed and regulated hemp and cannabis operations.

 

The Company is also a majority owner in Nug Avenue, Inc., a California corporation, which is engaged in the licensed and regulated market for the delivery of cannabis and a part owner in Indigo Dye Group, the operator of a licensed and regulated cannabis delivery service in Northern California.

 

These operations and investments are outlined in more detail below.

 

  1) Paper and paper-based products: The supply of consumable products to the quick-service restaurant sub-sector of the restaurant industry, and as an importer and distributor of non-medical personal protection equipment to business and consumers, via our CarryOutSupplies.com subsidiary (“Carryout Supplies”). Carryout Supplies is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies, servicing more than 2,000 quick-service restaurants. The primary products are plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, edible packaging, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons, and similar products for this market sector. This subsidiary, which was formed in 2009, was recently expanded to also offer non-medical personal protective equipment.
     
  2)

Nug Avenue, Inc. investment into licensed cannabis delivery in Los Angeles area markets. During February 2021, we became a majority owner of Nug Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“Nug Avenue”), which operates a licensed and regulated cannabis delivery service out of Lynwood, California, serving the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area (the “Lynwood Operations”). The Company currently owns a majority stake of seventy percent (70%) of Nug Avenue’s Lynwood Operations and holds first rights of refusal on Nug Avenue’s business expansion relative to the cannabis marketplace. By way of our capital injection made into Nug Avenue and by via our 70% ownership position, we consolidate and recognize 100% of the revenues and 70% of profits or loss generated by Nug Ave for its Lynwood Operation.

 

We believe our investment into Nug Avenue will allow us to expand out presence into the licensed and regulated cannabis marketplace. The California cannabis market continues its rapid growth, with the Southern California sub-market representing the world’s largest single cannabis marketplace. According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the most recently reported quarterly period posted a significant increase in cannabis tax compared to the year-ago period. Much of this growth was driven by increased use of delivery services, as consumers are increasingly relying on home delivery for many goods, including cannabis.

     
  3) Cannabis products delivery service and sales: As a joint owner in the Budcars licensed cannabis delivery service brand (“Budcars” or the “Budcars Brand”). Budcars operates a licensed cannabis delivery service in the Sacramento, California area. During early 2020, the Company gained a 40% stake in the Budcars Brand and in the Sacramento delivery operations via acquiring a 40% stake in Indigo Dye Group (“Indigo”). Under the terms of the agreement with Indigo, Sugarmade acquired an option to purchase an additional 30% interest in Budcars. Upon exercise of this option, the Company would acquire a controlling interest in Indigo. As of March 31, 2021, the option has not yet been exercised and the Company’s stake in Budcars was at 40%. Starting on October 1, 2020, the Company plans to open new locations via purchasing equity in other Brand/Franchises to cover delivery for the entire California. Therefore, the Company is not likely at this time to exercise its option to acquire the additional 30% interest in Indigo. In addition, the Company is no longer involved in day-to-day operations of Indigo and going forward, the Company intends to pursue cannabis delivery independent of Indigo. As of October 1, 2020, the Company ceased to have control over the day-to-day business of Indigo and it was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $505,449 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. Pursuant to the terms of the Indigo agreement, if the Company determines, in its discretion not to continue to make monthly payments, its 40% ownership interest in Indigo will be decreased according to the payment then made. As of March 31, 2021, the Company made no additional payments, and still hold approximately 29% of the ownership of Indigo. See Note 4 and Note 5.
     
  4) Selected cannabis and hemp projects. We are also seeking operating contracts and investments in various legal, licensed and regulated cannabis and hemp projects via our Sugar Rush, Inc. subsidiary and directly from Sugarmade, Inc. We believe our team has strong experience in hemp and cannabis operations and management that can be leveraged to expand our revenue base. On March 28, 2021 we entered into a binding letter of intent for the acquisition of Lemon Glow Company, Inc., a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”), including all of Lemon Glow’s assets, interests, property, and rights, which includes six-hundred-forty (640) acres of real estate in Lake County, California, outside of the local commercial cannabis cultivation exclusion zones. Our intent, via the Sugar Rush subsidiary, is to utilize thirty-two acres of the property to develop licensed cannabis cultivation and manufacturing operations. On April 27, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the March 28, 2021 letter of intent extending the term of the letter of intent to May 12, 2021. On May 14, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the Closing of the Merger. The Closing of the Merger occurred in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement on May 12, 2021. See subsequent events – Agreement and plan of merger.
