(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

MariMed Inc. (the “Company”) is a multi-state operator in the United States cannabis industry. The Company develops, operates, manages, and optimizes over 300,000square feet of state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production and dispensing of medicinal and recreational cannabis. The Company also licenses its proprietary brands of cannabis and hemp-infused products, along with other top brands, in several domestic markets and overseas.

 

Upon its entry into the cannabis industry in 2014, the Company was an advisory firm that procured state-issued cannabis licenses on behalf of its clients, leased itsdeveloped cannabis facilities which it leased to these newly-licensed companies, and provided industry-leading expertise and oversight in all aspects of their cannabis operations. The Company also provided its clients with as ongoing regulatory, accounting, real estate, human resources, and administrative services.

 

In 2018, the Company commenced amade the strategic plandecision to transition from a consulting business to a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations.operations (hereinafter referred to as the “Consolidation Plan”). The Company’s strategic plan consists ofConsolidation Plan calls for the acquisition of its cannabis-licensed clients located in five states—Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Nevada—andNevada. In addition, the consolidationConsolidation Plan includes the potential acquisition of a Rhode Island asset. All of these acquisitions are subject to state approval, and once consolidated, the entities will operate under the MariMed banner.

To date, acquisitions of the licensed businesses in Massachusetts and Illinois have been completed and establish the Company as a fully integrated seed-to-sale multi-state operator. The acquisitions of the remaining entities located in Maryland, Nevada, and Delaware are at various stages of completion and subject to each state’s laws governing the ownership transfer of cannabis licenses, which in the case of Delaware requires a modification of current cannabis ownership laws to permit for-profit ownership. Meanwhile, the Company continues to expand these businesses and maximize the Company’s revenue from rental income, management fees, and licensing royalties.

 

A goal in completing this transition from a consulting business to a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations is to present a simpler, more transparent financial picture of the full breadth of the Company’s efforts, with a clearer representation of the revenues, earnings, and other financial metrics the Company has generated for its clients. The Company has played a key role in the successes of these entities, from the securing of their cannabis licenses, to the development of facilities that are models of excellence, to providing industry best practicesoperational and corporate guidance. Accordingly, the Company believes it is well suited to own these facilities and manage the continuing growth of their operations.

To date, acquisitions of the licensed businesses in Massachusetts and Illinois have been state-approved and completed, and establishes the Company as a fully integrated seed-to-sale multi-state operator. The acquisitions of the remaining entities located in Maryland, Nevada, and Delaware are at various stages of completion and subject to each state’s laws governing the ownership and transfer of cannabis licenses, which in the case of Delaware requires a modification of current cannabis ownership laws to permit for-profit ownership. Meanwhile, the Company continues to develop additional revenue and business in these states and plans to leverage its success to expand into other markets where cannabis is and becomes legal.

 

The Company has also created its own brands of cannabis flower, concentrates, and precision-dosed products utilizing proprietary strains and formulations. These products are developed by the Company in cooperation with state-licensed operators who meet the Company’s strict standards, including all natural—not artificial or synthetic—ingredients. The Company licenses its brands and product formulations only to certified manufacturing professionals who follow state cannabis laws and adhere to the Company’s precise scientific formulations and trademarked product recipes.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The spread of the virus in the United States and the measures implemented to contain it—including business shutdowns, indoor capacity restrictions, social distancing, and diminished travel—have negatively impacted the economy and have created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. Consequently, the Company’s expansion efforts and implementation of its strategic plan haveaforementioned Consolidation Plan has been delayed. Additionally, while the cannabis industry has been deemed an essential business, and is not expected to suffer severe declines in revenue, the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity have been adversely affected,impacted, as further discussed in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the notes to the financial statements included in this report.

Continued disruption to the global economy may materially and adversely affect the future carrying values of certain of the Company’s assets, including inventories, accounts receivables, and intangibles, as well as negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise working capital to support its operations. The full extent to which COVID-19 and the measures to contain it will impact the Company’s business, operations financial condition, and liquidity will depend on the continued severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and other future developments in response to the virus, all of which are highly uncertain at this time. As a result, the Company cannot predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on its operational and financial performance.

 

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

 

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in January 2011 under the name Worlds Online Inc. Initially, the Company developed and managed online virtual worlds. By early 2014, this line of business effectively ceased operating, and the Company pivoted into the legal cannabis industry.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

In accordance with GAAP, interim financial statements are not required to contain all of the disclosures normally required in annual financial statements. In addition, the results of operations of interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited annual financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ data to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income (losses) or cash flows.

 

Going Concern

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires an assessment of relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that are known or reasonably knowable by management on the issuance dates of the financial statements which indicate the probable likelihood that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.

As part of its evaluation, management assessed known events, trends, commitments, and uncertainties, which at the time included the status of the Company’s consolidation plan, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, developments concerning GenCanna’s bankruptcy proceedings, recent cannabis industry investment activity, price movements of public cannabis stock, actions and/or results of certain bellwether cannabis companies, the level of cannabis investor confidence, and changes to state laws governing recreational (adult-use) and medical cannabis.

Management also reviewed certain key liquidity metrics of the Company, as further described below, as well as other factors in its evaluation, and determined that there currently exists a substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements without additional funding or the continued profitability growth of its cannabis operations in Illinois and Massachusetts.

The Company produced the following improvements to key liquidity metrics during the reported period:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s operating activities provided positive cash flow of approximately $1.6 million, compared to approximately $24.2 million of negative cash flow used by such activities during the same period of 2019, a positive swing of approximately $25.8 million.

At September 30, 2020, the Company’s negative working capital was approximately $9.1 million, a continued improvement from approximately $21.5 million at June 30, 2020 and approximately $29.3 million at December 31, 2019.

The Company successfully restructured the terms of its short-term promissory notes payable to approximately $8.5 million at September 30, 2020 from approximately $17.2 million at June 30, 2020 and $23.1 million at December 31, 2019.

For further discussion of the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, please refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2020.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with recognized financial institutions located in the United States. In the normal course of business, the Company may carry balances with certain financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on balances in excess of such limits and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks in that regard.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and are carried at their estimated collectible amounts.

 

The Company provides credit to its clients in the form of payment terms. The Company limits its credit risk by performing credit evaluations of its clients and maintaining a reserve, if deemed necessary, for potential credit losses. Such evaluations include the review of a client’s outstanding balances with consideration towards such client’s historical collection experience, as well as prevailing economic and market conditions and other factors. Based on such evaluations, the Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accountsa reserve of approximately $40.540.9 million and $39.740.0 million at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. Please refer to Note 1617Bad Debts for further discussion on receivable reserves.

Inventory

 

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with the cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company allocates a certain percentage of overhead cost to its manufactured inventory; such allocation is based on square footage and other industry-standard criteria. The Company reviews physical inventory for obsolescence and/or excess and will record a reservewrite-down if necessary. As of the date of this report, no reserve was deemed necessary.

 

Investments

 

Investments are comprised of equity holding ofholdings in private companies. These investments are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with changes to fair value included in income. Investments are evaluated for permanent impairment and are written down if such impairments are deemed to have occurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers, as amended by subsequently issued Accounting Standards Updates. This revenue standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The recognition of revenue is determined by performing the following consecutive steps:

 

 Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
 
Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);
 
Determine the transaction price;
 Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
 Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Additionally, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Company’s clients, a determination is made as to who—the Company or the other party—is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sale transaction, and who is merely the agent arranging for goods or services to be provided by the other party.

 

The Company is typically considered the principal if it controls the specified good or service before such good or service is transferred to its client. The Company may also be deemed to be the principal even if it engages another party (an agent) to satisfy some of the performance obligations on its behalf, provided the Company (i) takes on certain responsibilities, obligations and risks, (ii) possesses certain abilities and discretion, or (iii) other relevant indicators of the sale. If deemed an agent, the Company would not recognize revenue for the performance obligations it does not satisfy.

 

The Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:

 

Product Sales – direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products by the Company’s dispensary and wholesale operations in Massachusetts and Illinois, and direct sales of hemp and hemp-infused products by the Company’s hemp division. In 2019, this division participatedproducts. An increase in one-time sales of acquired hemp seed inventory, as further explained in Note 17 – Related Party Transactions. Future product sales areis expected to includefrom the Company’s planned cannabis-licensee acquisitions in Maryland, Nevada, and Delaware (upon this state’s amendment to permit for-profit ownership of cannabis entities). This revenue is recognized when products are delivered or at retail point-of-sale.

points-of-sale.
 Real Estate – rental income and additional rental fees generated from leasing of the Company’s state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant cannabis facilities to its cannabis-licensed clients. Rental income is generally a fixed amount per month that escalates over the respective lease term,terms, while additional rental fees are based on a percentage of tenant revenues that exceed specified amounts.
   
 Management – fees for providing the Company’s cannabis clients with comprehensive oversight of their cannabis cultivation, production, and dispensary operations. Along with this oversight, the Company provides human resources, regulatory, marketing, and other corporate services. These fees are based on a percentage of such clients’ revenue and are recognized after services have been performed.
   
 Supply Procurement – the Company maintains volume discounts with top national vendors of cultivation and production resources, supplies, and equipment, which the Company acquires and resells to its clients or third parties within the cannabis industry. The Company recognizes this revenue after the delivery and acceptance of goods by the purchaser.
   
 Licensing – revenueroyalties from the salelicensed distribution of precision-dosed, cannabis-infused products—such asthe Company’s branded products including Kalm Fusion™, Nature’s Heritage™Fusion® and Betty’s Eddies®, and Betty’s Eddies™—from sublicensing of contracted brands including Healer and Tikun Olam, to regulated dispensaries throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The recognition of this revenue occurs when the products are delivered.

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, with depreciation recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, if applicable. When assets are retired or disposed, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows: buildings and building improvements, sevenforty years to thirty-nine years;; tenant improvements, the remaining duration of the related lease; furniture and fixtures, seven years;to ten years; machinery and equipment, fiveten years to ten years.. Land is not depreciated.

 

The Company’s property and equipment are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from the undiscounted future cash flows of such asset over the anticipated holding period. An impairment loss is measured by the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value.

 

Impairment analyses are based on management’s current plans, asset holding periods, and currently available market information. If these criteria change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and could have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, based on the results of management’s impairment analyses, there were 0no impairment losses.

 

Leases

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s adoption of ASC 842, Leases, as amended by subsequent accounting standards updates, utilizing the modified retrospective transition approach which calls for applying the new standard to all of the Company’s leases effective January 1, 2019, which is the effective date of adoption.approach.

 

ASC 842 is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions. The most prominent change from previous accounting guidance is the requirement to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet representing the rights and obligations created by operating leases that extend more than twelve months in which the Company is the lessee. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842. Accordingly, the Company accounted for its existing operating leases that commenced before the effective date as operating leases under the new guidance without reassessing (i) whether the contracts contain a lease, (ii) the classification of the leases or (iii) the accounting for indirect costs as defined in ASC 842.

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Non-lease components within lease agreements are accounted for separately. Right-of-use assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, utilizing the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when the net book value of such assets exceeds their expected cash flows, in which case the assets are written down to fair value, which is determined based on discounted future cash flows or appraised values.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, to measure the fair value of its financial instruments, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for disclosures on the fair value of its financial instruments. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

 

Level 1Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
  
Level 2Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
  
Level 3Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

1210
 

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The fair value of option and warrant issuances are determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and employing several inputs such as the expected life of instrument, the exercise price, the expected risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the value of the Company’s common stock on issuance date, and the expected volatility of such common stock. The following table summarizes the range of inputs used by the Company during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and 2019.

2020:

 SCHEDULE OF ASSUMPTIONS USED

 Nine Months Ended September 30, 
 2020 2019  2021 2020 
Life of instrument 2.7 to 4.3 years 2.3 to 3.0 years   3.0 to 5.0 years   3.0 years 
Volatility factors 1.059 to 1.180 1.059 to 1.106   1.230 to 1.266   1.059 
Risk-free interest rates 0.26% to 1.30% 1.42% to 2.28%   0.36% to 0.85%   1.30% 
Dividend yield 0% 0%   0%   0% 

 

The expected life of an instrument is calculated using the simplified method pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based Payment, which allows for using the mid-point between the vesting date and expiration date. The volatility factors are based on the historical two-year movement of the Company’s common stock prior to an instrument’s issuance date. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates with maturity periods similar to the expected instruments life on the issuance date.

 

The Company amortizes the fair value of option and warrant issuances on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each instrument.

 

Extinguishment of Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for extinguishment of liabilities in accordance with ASC 405-20, Extinguishments of Liabilities. When the conditions for extinguishment are met, the liabilities are written down to zero and a gain or loss is recognized.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method as set forth in ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the fair value of the award on the grant date, with limited exceptions. Such value will be incurred as compensation expense over the period an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity awards for which employees do not render the requisite service.

 

1311
 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accountsuses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. DeferredUnder this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based uponrecorded for the future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had 0 adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and 2019.2020.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

In accordance with ASC 850, the Company’s financial statements include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, as well as transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted average number of potentially dilutive securities during the period.

 

At September 30,As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, there were24,860,857 and 16,815,107, respectively, of potentially dilutive securities in the formconvertible into shares of outstandingcommon stock comprised of (i) stock options and warrants. Also as of such dates, there were (i) $4.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of outstanding convertible debentures payable, (ii)into 4,908,33311,017,750 and 06,241,250 shares, respectively, of(ii) warrants – convertible into 32,282,708 and 11,960,107 shares, respectively, (iii) Series B convertible preferred stock outstanding, and (iii) approximately $5.2 million and $350,000, respectively, of outstanding convertible promissory notes. All of these potentially dilutive securities are convertible into common4,908,333 shares in both periods, (iv) Series C preferred stock based on either (i) a predetermined price, subject to adjustment, or (ii) the market value of common stock on or about the future conversion date.– convertible into 31,081,080 and 0 shares, respectively, (v) debentures payable – convertible into 0 and 79,324,861 shares, respectively, and (vi) promissory notes – convertible into 10,705,513 and 1,464,435 shares, respectively.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, all suchMarch 31, 2021, the aforementioned potentially dilutive securities were convertible into approximately 64.6 million net shares of common stock, which were included inincreased the number of weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis andby 35,613,671 million shares, determined in accordance with ASC 260, which are included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for this period as shown in the statement of operations.period. For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020, and for the three and nine months ended Septembers 30, 2019, the potentially dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share, and in accordance with ASC 260, were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculations, resulting in identical basic and fully diluted net income per share for these periods.that period.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows ASC 450, Contingencies, which requires the Company to assess the likelihood that a loss will be incurred from the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events. Such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing possible loss contingencies from legal proceedings or unasserted claims, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of such proceedings or claims, and of the relief sought or expected to be sought.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

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

Beneficial Conversion Features on Convertible Debt

 

Convertible instruments that are not bifurcated as a derivative pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and not accounted for as a separate equity component under the cash conversion guidance are evaluated to determine whether their conversion prices create an embedded beneficial conversion feature at inception, or may become beneficial in the future due to potential adjustments.

 

A beneficial conversion feature is a nondetachable conversion feature that is “in-the-money” at the commitment date. The in-the-money portion, also known as the intrinsic value, of the option, is recorded in equity, with an offsetting discount to the carrying amount of convertible debt to which it is attached. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt with adjustments to amortization upon full or partial conversions of the debt.

 

Risk and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to risks common to companies operating within the legal and medical marijuana industries, including, but not limited to, federal laws, government regulations and jurisdictional laws.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

Noncontrolling interests represent third-party minority ownership of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is shown in the consolidated statements of operations; and the value of net assets owned by noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of equity within the balance sheets.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

An aggregate of 40,000,000 shares are reserved for delivery to participants and may be used for any type of award under the Incentive Plan. Shares actually delivered in connection with an award will be counted against such number of reserved shares. Shares will remain available for new awards if an award under the Incentive Plan expires, is forfeited, canceled, or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares or is settled in cash. Each award under the Incentive Plan is subject to the Company’s claw back policy in effect at the time of grant of the award.

Unless earlier terminated, grants under the Incentive Plan will terminate ten years after stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan, and the Incentive Plan will terminate when no shares remain available and the Company has no further obligation with respect to any outstanding award.

NOTE 1718RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During 2019, the Company, through its MariMed Hemp subsidiary, entered into several hemp seed sale transactions with GenCanna whereby the Company acquired large quantities of top-grade feminized hemp seeds with proven genetics at volume discounts that it sold to GenCanna at market rates. The seeds met the U.S. government’s definition of federally legal industrial hemp, which was descheduled as a controlled substance and classified as an agricultural commodity upon the signing of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill.

The Company purchased $20.75 million of hemp seed inventory which it sold and delivered to GenCanna for $33.2 million. The Company provided GenCanna with extended payment terms through December 2019, to coincide with the completion of the seeds’ harvest, although the payment by GenCanna was not contingent upon the success of such harvest or its yield. To partially fund the seed purchases, the Company raised $17.0 million in debt financings which is reflected in Notes Payable on the balance sheet and previously discussed in Note 9 – Debt.

By the end of 2019, GenCanna had not paid the amount it owed the Company for its seed purchases due to several challenges it faced late in the year, including defaults under its senior credit facility, a fire at its main processing and lab facility, the domestic decline of CBD selling prices, and the contraction of the cannabis capital markets. In February 2020, as previously discussed in Note 4 – Investments, under pressure from certain of its creditors, the GenCanna Debtors agreed to convert a previously-filed involuntary bankruptcy proceeding into a voluntary Chapter 11 proceeding, and filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court.

Terminated Employment Agreement

 

An employment agreement which commenced in 2012 with Thomas Kidrin, the former CEO of the Company, thatwhich provided Mr. Kidrin with salary, car allowances, stock options, life insurance, and other employee benefits, was terminated by the Company in 2017.At September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company maintained an accrual of approximately $1,043,000 for any amounts that may be owed under this agreement, although the Company contends that such agreement is not valid and that no amount is due.

 

In July 2019, Mr. Kidrin, also a former director of the Company, filed a complaint in the Massachusetts Superior Court, thatwhich alleges the Company failed to pay all wages owed to him and breached the employment agreement, and requests multiple damages, attorney fees, costs, and interest.

While the Company’s motion to dismiss was pending, the parties reached a settlement in principle and the court has issued a nisi order of dismissal. The parties have not yet competed the settlement agreement. If the parties are for any reason unable to do so, then the Company will continue vigorously to defend this matter and prosecute its counterclaims.

Maryland Acquisition

 

As previously disclosed in Note 3 – Acquisitions, Kind has sought to renege on the sellersparties’ original agreement to a partnership/joint venture made in the fall of Kind have attempted to renegotiate the terms of the MOU, alleging that the MOU is not an enforceable agreement, despite the MOU containing all the definitive material terms with respect to the acquisition transaction2016 and confirming the management and lease agreements.subsequent MOU. The Company engaged with the sellersmembers of Kind in a good faith in an attempt to reach updated terms acceptable to both parties, buthowever the non-reciprocationmembers of the sellers resultedKind failed to reciprocate in good faith, resulting in an impasse. Incrementally, both parties through counsel further sought to resolve the impasse, andhowever such initiative resulted in both parties commencing legal proceedings.

 

OnIn November 13, 2019, Kind Therapeutics USA Inc. (“Kind”) commenced an action by filing a complaint against the Company in the Circuit Court for Washington County, MD captioned Kind Therapeutics USA, Inc. vs. MariMed, Inc., et al. (Case No. C-21-CV-19-000670) asserting claims against the Company, including(the “Complaint”). The Complaint, as amended, alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, accounting, and unjust enrichment, intentional misrepresentation, rescission, civil conspiracy, and seeking an accounting and declaratory judgment and damages in excess of $75,000. On November 15, 2019, the Company filed counterclaims against Kind and a third-party complaint against the Membersmembers of Kind (Jennifer DiPietro, Susan Zimmerman, and Sophia Leonard-Burns) and William Tham (the “Counterclaim”“Counterclaims”). The Counterclaim allegedCounterclaims, as amended, allege breach of contract with respect to each of the partnership/joint venture agreement, the MOU, the MSA, the Lease, and the ManagementLicensing and Manufacturing Agreement (the “MSA”(“LMA”), unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance, and fraud in the inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, and seekingseeks reformation of the MSA, a declaratory judgement thatjudgment regarding enforceability of the partnership/joint venture arrangement and/or the MOU, is an enforceable contract, specific performance of such contact,the parties’ various contracts, and the establishment of a constructive trust for the Company’s benefit. The CounterclaimCounterclaims also seeksseek damages.

 

BothAt the time the Complaint and Counterclaims were filed, both parties, MariMed (including MariMed Holdings MD, LLC and MariMed Advisors Inc.) and Kind, brought motions for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. By Opinion and Order entered on November 21, 2019, the Court denied both parties motions for a temporary restraining order. In its opinion, the Court specifically noted that, contrary to Kind’s allegations, the MSA and the 20-year lease agreementfor Kind’s utilization of the Company’s cultivation and production facility (the “Lease”)Lease “appear to be independent, valid and enforceable contracts.”

 

On or about April 3,A hearing on the parties’ cross-motions for preliminary injunction was held in September 2020 and November 2020. Also in November 2020, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment as to the Lease, determining that the Lease is valid and enforceable. Based on this ruling, the Company filed its First Amended Counterclaimis seeking judgment at trial in the amount of approximately $5.4 million for past due rent and Third Party Complaint in which additional claims were added and clarified, including breach of Lease and breachexpenses owed by Kind under the Lease.

In December 2020, the Court entered a Preliminary Injunction Order, accompanied by a Memorandum Opinion, denying Kind’s motion for a preliminary injunction (which Kind had withdrawn at the conclusion of the Licensinghearing) and Manufacturing Agreement (the “LMA”) against Kind, along with other alternative claims and seeking damages. On August 11, 2020,granting the Company’s request for preliminary injunction. The Court determined that the Company filedis likely to succeed with respect to the validity and enforceability of the MSA and the LMA, that the Company would suffer substantial and irreparable harm without the preliminary injunction, and that the balance of convenience and public interest both warranted the issuance of a preliminary injunction in the Company’s favor. The Court ordered, inter alia, that the MSA and LMA are in effect pending judgment after trial on the merits, and that Kind and its Second Amended Counterclaimmembers, and Third Party Complainttheir attorneys, agents, employees, and representatives, are prohibited from (a) interfering with the Company’s duties and responsibilities under the MSA and (b) withdrawing funds, making any distribution, paying any loans, returning any capital, or making any payment towards a debt from any Kind bank or other financial account(s) without written consent of the Company or Order of the Court, thereby preserving the Company’s management of Kind’s operations and finances at least through the jury trial currently scheduled to begin on March 28, 2022. Further, the Court ordered Kind to pay management and licensing fees to the Company beginning January 1, 2021. Kind has noted an appeal of the Order to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, which is pending; however, the preliminary injunction order remains in which additional clarifications were madeeffect.

In addition to the favorable rulings on the Lease, MSA, and claims added for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of partnership. TheLMA, the Company believes that its claims for breach of contract with respect to the MOU, the MSA, the Lease, and the LMA, as well as all other claims70%/30% partnership/joint venture agreement are meritorious. Further, the Company believes that Kind’s claims against the Company are without merit. On March 18, 2021, the Court issued an opinion and order on Kind’s motion for summary judgment finding that the MOU was not enforceable by the Company against Kind as a final binding agreement. The Company is evaluating an appeal of this ruling which under Maryland rules can only be pursued upon final judgment.

In March 2021, the Kind parties filed motions to modify the preliminary injunction order or, alternatively, for direction from the Court based on Kind’s claim to have terminated the MSA. The Company has opposed both motions and has filed a petition for civil contempt against the Kind parties for interfering with the Company’s management of Kind. The motions and petition are pending, and the preliminary injunction remains in effect.

The Company intends to aggressively prosecute and defend the action. Trial has been scheduled from March 28, 2022 to April 11, 2022.

DiPietro Lawsuit

In lightAugust 2020, Jennifer DiPietro, directly and derivatively on behalf of Mari Holdings MD LLC (“Mari-MD”) and Mia Development LLC (“Mia”), commenced a suit against the Company’s CEO, CFO, and wholly-owned subsidiary MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”), in Suffolk Superior Court, Massachusetts.

34

In this action, DiPietro, a party to prior ongoing litigation in Maryland involving the Company and Kind as discussed above, brings claims for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, fraud in the inducement, aiding and abetting the alleged breach of fiduciary duty, and also seeks access to books and records and an accounting related to her investments in Mari-MD and Mia. DiPietro seeks unspecified money damages and rescission of her interest in Mari-MD, but not of her investment in Mia, which has notprovided substantial returns to her as a member.

The Company has answered the complaint and MMA has moved for leave to file counterclaims against DiPietro on its own behalf and derivatively on behalf of Mari-MD for breach of her fiduciary duties to each of those entities, for tortious interference with Mari-MD’s lease and MMA’s management services agreement with Kind, and for breach of Mari-MD’s operating agreement.

The Company believes that the allegations of the complaint are without merit and intends to defend the case vigorously. The Company’s counterclaim seeks monetary damages from DiPietro, including the Company’s legal fees in the Kind action.

 At September 30, 2020,In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s negative working capital wasoperating activities provided positive cash flow of approximately $9.1$6.8 million, a continued improvement from approximately $21.5 million at June 30, 2020 and approximately $29.3 million at December 31, 2019.
The Company successfully restructured the terms of its short term promissory notes payablecompared to approximately $8.5 million at September 30,$407,000 of negative cash flow used in such activities in the same period in 2020, froman increase of approximately $17.2 million at June 30, 2020 and $23.1 million at December 31, 2019.$7.2 million.

The large negative working capital balance at December 31, 2019 was primarily caused by GenCanna’s bankruptcy proceeding under Chapter 11 initiated in early 2020, the details of which are disclosed in the footnotes accompanying the Company financial statements included in this report. Prior to the commencement of these bankruptcy proceedings, during the period March 2019 to June 2019, the Company raised $17.0 million via the issuance of promissory notes to three unaffiliated third parties (the “Seed Funding Notes”). The proceeds from the Seed Funding Notes were used to fund the purchase of large quantities of top-grade hemp seeds at volume discounts which were then sold to GenCanna at market rates (the “Seed Transactions”). The Seed Funding Notes were committed to be repaid by the end of calendar 2019 utilizing a portion of the approximate $29.0 million of revenue to be generated from the Seed Transactions. Upon the commencement of the GenCanna bankruptcy proceedings, the Company recorded a bad debt reserve at December 31, 2019 against the entire $29.0 million receivable balance from GenCanna.

During 2020, the Company (i) successfully extended the maturity dates of all of the Seed Funding Notes, (i) converted $802,000 of accrued interest on the Seed Funding Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, and (iii) paid down $4,450,000 of principal and accrued interest of the Seed Funding Notes with proceeds from newly-issued long-term debt and cash generated from operations. These actions, coupled with the continuing growthrevenues and profitability ofgenerated by the Company’s cannabis operations in the states of Illinois and Maryland, and offset by the continued reserves on amounts due from GenCanna, Kind, and Harvest, resulted in a negative working capital balance of $9.1 million at September 30, 2020, an improvement from December 31, 2019 of approximately $20.2 million.

The approximate $1.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the Refinanced Mortgage, the $4.4M Notes, the Third Party Notes, and the $1M NoteMassachusetts, acquired as discussed in Note 9 – Debtpart of the Company’s financial statements, coupled with the continuing growth in profitabilityConsolidation Plan to transition from a consulting business to a direct owner of the Company’s cannabis licenses and operator of see-to-sale operations, in Illinois and Massachusetts as explained below, offset primarily by the buildup of inventory balances and the purchase of property and equipment.

With respect to the Company’s consolidation plan, the operations of the acquired entities in Illinois and Massachusetts have started to generate considerable liquidity and working capital for the Company. Since their acquisition in October 2019, the KPGs in Illinois have generated in excess of $4.6(ii) $23.0 million of pretax income for the Company, which continues to exceed forecasts, in part due to the legalization of adult-use cannabis in this state in January 2020. Additionally, the KPGs added a third dispensary in Mt. Vernon which commenced operations in September 2020. In Massachusetts, the cultivation and production facility acquiredgross proceeds raised by the Company under a financing facility of up to $46.0 million pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with Hadron Healthcare Master Fund (“Hadron”) in December 2018 has ramped up its grow capabilities to full capacity. exchange for newly-designated Series C convertible preferred stock and warrants.

Additionally, the Company received final approval for adult-use cannabis production and sales from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, and commenced business in this state’s robust adult-use market in September 2020. 

In connection with the preparation of itssection below entitled Non-GAAP Measurement discusses an additional financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020,measure not defined by GAAP which the Company’s management evaluated the Company’s abilityuses to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements–Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), which requires an assessment of relevant conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that are known or reasonably knowable by management on the issuance dates of the financial statements which indicate the probable likelihood that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.evaluate liquidity.

As part of its evaluation, management assessed known events, trends, commitments, and uncertainties, which at the time included the status of the Company’s consolidation plan, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, developments concerning GenCanna’s bankruptcy proceedings, recent cannabis industry investment activity, price movements of public cannabis stock, actions and/or results of certain bellwether cannabis companies, the level of cannabis investor confidence, and changes to state laws governing recreational (adult-use) and medical cannabis.

Management also reviewed certain key liquidity metrics of the Company, as further described below, as well as other factors in its evaluation, and determined that there currently exists a substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements without additional funding or the continued profitability growth of its cannabis operations in Illinois and Massachusetts.

The year-over-year variance was primarily attributable to revenues of approximately $22.0 million generated from the Seed Transactions. Excluding the Seed Transactions, core revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 grew to approximately $30.5 million from approximately $11.4 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of approximately $19.2 million or 168.3%. The year-over-year increase was due to aggregate cannabis sales in 2020 of approximately $22.0 million generated by the KPGs in Illinois, acquired by the Company in October 2019, and ARL in Massachusetts, acquired by the Company in late 2018 and whose selling operations commenced in December 2019. The cannabis sales were offset by decreases in procurement revenue and management fees charged to Kind, the Company’s cannabis-licensed client in Maryland, andaccordance with whomGAAP, the Company is currently engaged in litigation.providing an additional financial measure not defined by GAAP – EBITDA (defined below). The Company is providing this non-GAAP financial measurement as a supplement to the preceding discussion of the Company’s financial results.

 

CostManagement defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Management believes EBITDA is a useful measure to assess the performance and liquidity of revenuesthe Company as it provides meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of its operating business performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses EBITDA to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and for financial and operational decision making. The presentation of EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 approximated $10.8 million comparedfinancial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that investors and analysts benefit from considering EBITDA in assessing the Company’s financial results and its ongoing business as it allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. EBITDA is used by many investors and analysts themselves, along with other metrics, to approximately $24.5 million for the same period in 2019. The year-over-year variance was primarily attributablecompare financial results across accounting periods and to the costthose of seeds incurred by the Company of approximately $20.8 million as part of the Seed Transactions. Excluding the Seed Transactions, cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased to approximately $10.8 million from approximately $3.8 million for the same period in 2019. As a percentage of total revenues, these costs increased to 35.5% in 2020 from 33.2% in 2019, which is the result of Company’s transition from a cannabis advisory company to a multi-state operator of cannabis businesses, whereby the Company will generate less revenues from a rental income and management fees, which have minimal associated costs, to a vastly higher level of revenue from product sales, which have a relatively higher level of associated costs.peer companies.

 

As a resultthere are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP measurements, the foregoing, gross profit approximated $19.7 million, or 64.5% of total revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020Company’s calculations may differ from approximately $15.9 million, or 39.3% of total revenues, for the same period a year ago. Excluding the Seed Transactions, gross profit increasedthose used by others, and accordingly, and therefore may not be directly comparable to approximately $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from approximately $7.6 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of approximately $12.1 million or 159.0%.similarly titled measures used by others.

 

Personnel expenses increasedReconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to approximately $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from approximately $2.7 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to the hiring of additional staff to support (i) higher levels of revenue, and (ii) the Company’s expansion into a direct owner and operator of seed-to-sale cannabis businesses. As a percentage of revenues excluding the Seed Transactions, personnel expenses dropped to 13.3% in 2020 from 24.1% in 2019.EBITDA (a Non-GAAP Measurement)

 

Marketing and promotion costs decreased slightlyThe table below reconciles Net Income (Loss) to approximately $281,000 for the nineEBITDA three months ended September 30, 2020 from approximately $287,000 for the same period a year ago. As a percentage of revenues excluding the Seed Transactions, these costs fell to 0.9% in 2020 from 2.5% in 2019.

GeneralMarch 31, 2021 and administrative costs increased to approximately $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from approximately $6.8 million for the same period a year ago. The increase is primarily due to higher facility costs on additional properties owned and in service in 2020, higher depreciation expense on such properties, taxes paid on the Company’s cannabis operation, and increases in corporate insurance. As a percentage of revenue excluding the Seed Sales, general and administrative costs decreased significantly to 24.6% in 2020 from 59.3% in 2019, reflecting a more efficient use of the Company’s fixed overhead costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an additional bad debt reserve of approximately $1.3 million to cover potential losses that would be incurred by the Company from the impact of COVID-19 and the measures enacted by local governments to reduce its spread.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company generated operating income of approximately $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to approximately $6.1 million for the same period in 2019. Excluding the Seed Transactions, the Company generated operating income of approximately $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an operating loss of approximately $2.2 million for the same period in 2019, a positive swing of approximately $8.7 million.2020:

Net non-operating expenses were approximately $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to approximately $6.7 million for the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to the approximate $2.9 million received by the Company in 2019 from the settlement of the AgriMed matter discussed in Note 3 – Acquisitions of the Company’s financial statements, and declines in value of the Company’s investments in Terrace, Chooze and MRSVP in 2020, offset by a decrease interest expense.2021 Plans

 

As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the same period a year ago, after a tax provision of approximately $1.9 million, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $2.5 million, and excluding the Seed Transactions, incurred a net loss of approximately $8.9 million.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 (the “Evaluation Date”).

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and past fiscal year,years, we implemented significant measures to remediate the previously disclosed ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which included an insufficient degree of segregation of duties amongst our accounting and financial reporting personnel, and the lack of a formalized and complete set of policy and procedure documentation evidencing our system of internal controls over financial reporting. The remediation measures consisted of the engagement of accounting consultants as needed to provide expertise on specific areas of the accounting guidance, the continued hiring of individuals with appropriate experience in internal controls over financial reporting, and the modification of our accounting processes and enhancement to our financial controls, including the testing of such controls.

 

Other than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Terminated Employment Agreement

In July 2019, Thomas Kidrin, the former chief executive officer and a former director of the Company, filed a complaint in the Massachusetts Superior Court, Suffolk County, captioned Thomas Kidrin v. MariMed Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 19-2173D. In the complaint, Mr. Kidrin alleges that the Company failed to pay all wages owed to him and breached his employment agreement, dated August 30, 2012, and requests multiple damages, attorney fees, costs, and interest.

The Company has moved to dismiss certain counts of the complaint and has asserted counterclaims against Mr. Kidrin alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, money had and received, and unjust enrichment. The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter and prosecute its counterclaims.

 

OnWhile the Company’s motion to dismiss was pending, the parties reached a settlement in principle and the court has issued a nisi order of dismissal. The parties have not yet competed the settlement agreement. If the parties are for any reason unable to do so, then the Company will continue vigorously to defend this matter and prosecute its counterclaims.

Maryland Acquisition

In November 13, 2019, Kind Therapeutics USA Inc. (“Kind”) commenced an action by filing a complaint against the Company in the Circuit Court for Washington County, MD captioned Kind Therapeutics USA, Inc. vs. MariMed, Inc., et al. (Case No. C-21-CV-19-000670) asserting claims against the Company, including(the “Complaint”). The Complaint, as amended, alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, accounting, and unjust enrichment, intentional misrepresentation, rescission, civil conspiracy, and seeking an accounting and declaratory judgment and damages in excess of $75,000. On November 15, 2019, the Company filed counterclaims against Kind and a third-party complaint against the Membersmembers of Kind (Jennifer DiPietro, Susan Zimmerman, and Sophia Leonard-Burns) and William Tham (the “Counterclaim”“Counterclaims”). The Counterclaim allegesCounterclaims, as amended, allege breach of contract with respect to each of the Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”)partnership/joint venture agreement, the MOU, the MSA, the Lease, and the Management ServicesLicensing and Manufacturing Agreement (the “MSA”(“LMA”), unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance, and fraud in the inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, and seekingseeks reformation of the MSA, a declaratory judgement thatjudgment regarding enforceability of the partnership/joint venture arrangement and/or the MOU, is an enforceable contract, specific performance of such contact,the parties’ various contracts, and the establishment of a constructive trust for the Company’s benefit. The CounterclaimCounterclaims also seeksseek damages. Both

At the time the Complaint and Counterclaims were filed, both parties, MariMed (including MariMed Holdings MD, LLC and MariMed Advisors Inc.) and Kind, brought motions for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. By Opinion and Order entered on November 21, 2019, the Court denied both parties motions for a temporary restraining order. In its opinion, the Court specifically noted that, contrary to Kind’s allegations, the MSA and the 20-year lease agreement for Kind’s utilization of the Company’s cultivation and production facility (the “Lease”)Lease “appear to be independent, valid and enforceable contracts.” On or about April 3,

A hearing on the parties’ cross-motions for preliminary injunction was held in September 2020 and November 2020. Also in November 2020, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment as to the Lease, determining that the Lease is valid and enforceable. Based on this ruling, the Company filed its First Amended Counterclaimis seeking judgment at trial in the amount of approximately $5.4 million for past due rent and Third Party Complaint in which additional claims were added and clarified, including breach of Lease and breachexpenses owed by Kind under the Lease.

In December 2020, the Court entered a Preliminary Injunction Order, accompanied by a Memorandum Opinion, denying Kind’s motion for a preliminary injunction (which Kind had withdrawn at the conclusion of the Licensinghearing) and Manufacturing Agreement (the “LMA”) against Kind, along with other alternative claims and seeking damages. On August 11, 2020,granting the Company’s request for preliminary injunction. The Court determined that the Company filedis likely to succeed with respect to the validity and enforceability of the MSA and the LMA, that the Company would suffer substantial and irreparable harm without the preliminary injunction, and that the balance of convenience and public interest both warranted the issuance of a preliminary injunction in the Company’s favor. The Court ordered, inter alia, that the MSA and LMA are in effect pending judgment after trial on the merits, and that Kind and its Second Amended Counterclaimmembers, and Third Party Complainttheir attorneys, agents, employees, and representatives, are prohibited from (a) interfering with the Company’s duties and responsibilities under the MSA and (b) withdrawing funds, making any distribution, paying any loans, returning any capital, or making any payment towards a debt from any Kind bank or other financial account(s) without written consent of the Company or Order of the Court, thereby preserving the Company’s management of Kind’s operations and finances at least through the jury trial currently scheduled to begin on March 28, 2022. Further, the Court ordered Kind to pay management and licensing fees to the Company beginning January 1, 2021. Kind has noted an appeal of the Order to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, which is pending; however, the preliminary injunction order remains in which additional clarifications were madeeffect.

In addition to the favorable rulings on the Lease, MSA, and claims added for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of partnership. TheLMA, the Company believes that its claims for breach of contract with respect to the MOU, the MSA, the Lease, and the LMA, as well as all other claimspartnership/joint venture agreement are meritorious. Further, the Company believes that Kind’s claims against the Company are without merit. On March 18, 2021, the Court issued an opinion and order on Kind’s motion for summary judgment finding that the MOU was not enforceable by the Company against Kind as a final binding agreement. The Company is evaluating an appeal of this ruling which under Maryland rules can only be pursued upon final judgment.

In March 2021, the Kind parties filed motions to modify the preliminary injunction order or, alternatively, for direction from the Court based on Kind’s claim to have terminated the MSA. The Company has opposed both motions and has filed a petition for civil contempt against the Kind parties for interfering with the Company’s management of Kind. The motions and petition are pending, and the preliminary injunction remains in effect.

The Company intends to aggressively prosecute and defend the action. A hearingTrial has been scheduled from March 28, 2022 to April 11, 2022.

DiPietro Lawsuit

In August 2020, Jennifer DiPietro, directly and derivatively on behalf of Mari Holdings MD LLC (“Mari-MD”) and Mia Development LLC (“Mia”), commenced an action against the parties’ cross-motionsCompany’s CEO, CFO, and wholly-owned subsidiary MariMed Advisors Inc. (“MMA”), in Suffolk Superior Court, Massachusetts (C.A. No. 20-1865).

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K. However, information regarding the Company’s risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A. of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. These risk factors describe some of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could adversely affect the Company’s business or that could otherwise result in changes that differ materially from management’s expectations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in the Annual Report except for the following additional risk related to COVID-19:Report.

Our business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and governmental authorities around the world implemented measures to reduce the spread of the virus. The spread of COVID-19 in the United States and the measures to contain it have negatively impacted the economy and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. Business shutdowns in certain states in response to stay-at-home orders and related measures have temporarily eliminated certain customers’, principally non-medical use customers’, access to our managed dispensaries, adversely impacting sales during this restricted period. In addition, these restrictions and other disruptions caused by the pandemic have impacted our expansion, consolidation, and administrative functions. Further, the volatility in the financial markets and investor uncertainty has delayed and adversely impacted our ability to consummate debt and equity financings to raise working capital to support our operations and expansion plans. As a result, our business, operations, financial condition, and liquidity have been and may continue to be materially and adversely affected. Further, the disruption to the global economy and to our business, along with the decline in our stock price, may also negatively impact the future carrying values of certain assets, including inventories, accounts receivables, intangibles, and goodwill. The full extent to which COVID-19 and the measures to contain it will impact our business, operations financial condition, and liquidity will depend on the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and other future developments related to the response to the virus, all of which are highly uncertain. As a result, we cannot predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its operational and financial performance.
