MJAI develops and operates the Company’s Kaya Shack™ legal cannabis retail operations in Oregon through controlling ownership interests in fourfive Oregon limited liabilities companies: MJAI Oregon 1 LLC, MJAI Oregon 2 LLC, MJAI Oregon 3 LLC and MJAI Oregon 4 LLC.

Additionally, MJAI develops and operates the Company’s legal cannabis production and processing operations in Oregon through ownership interests in MJAI Oregon 1, LLC for the recently acquired Eugene, Oregon Marijuana Grow and Manufacturing Facility (pursuant to an interim Management Agreement entered into between the parties, the Company has assumed operations of the 12,000-square foot facility pending transfer of the licenses by the OLCC to Kaya Farms, upon completion of a satisfactory compliance review) and MJAI Oregon 5, LLC for the to-be-built 85,000-square foot Kaya Farms & Greenhouse Facility in Lebanon, Oregon (inactive, pending construction and licensing.

 

Nature of the Business  

 

In January 2014, KAYS incorporated MJAI, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to focus on opportunities in the legal recreational and medical marijuana in the United States. MJAI has concentrated its efforts in Oregon, where through controlled Oregon limited liability companies, it initially secured licenses to operate a medical marijuana dispensary (an “MMD”) and following legalization of recreational cannabis use in Oregon, has secured licenses to operate threefour retail outlets (with the license application for a fourth outlet pending) and purchased 26 acres for development as a legal cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility. The Company has developed the Kaya Shack™ brand for its retail operations.

 

On July 3, 2014 the Company opened its first Kaya Shack™ MMD in Portland, Oregon.  In April 2015, KAYS commenced its own medical marijuana grow operations for the cultivation and harvesting of legal marijuana thereby becoming the first publicly traded U.S. company to own a majority interest in a vertically integrated legal marijuana enterprise in the United States. In October 2015, concurrent with Oregon commencing legal sales of recreational marijuana through MMDs, KAYS opened its second retail outlet in Salem, Oregon, the Kaya Shack™ Marijuana Superstore. During 2015, the Company also consolidated its grow operations and manufacturing operations into a single facility in Portland, Oregon.

 

In 2016, Oregon began the process to transition legal marijuana sales from Oregon Health Authority (“OHA”) licensed MMDs and grow operations to Oregon Liquor Control Commission (“OLCC”) licensed recreational marijuana retailers and producer and processing facilities. Effective January 1, 2017, all retailers of recreational marijuana were required to have a recreational marijuana sales license issued by the OLLC for each retail outlet operated.

 

Accordingly, inIn 2016 the Company applied for OLLC licenses for its two initial Kaya Shack™ retail outlets (Portland, Oregon and South Salem, Oregon), and also submitted license applications for its two new locations under construction and development at that time.

 

In late December 2016, we received our OLCC recreational license for the South Salem Kaya Shack™ Marijuana Superstore (Kaya Shack™ OLCC Marijuana Retailer License #1) and recreational and medical sales continued without interruption from 2016 through the present at that location.

 

On March 21, 2017, we received our North Salem Kaya Shack™ outlet (Kaya Shack™ OLCC Marijuana Retailer License #2) a 2,600-square foot Kaya Shack™ Marijuana Superstore in North Salem, Oregon, whereupon the location opened for business with both recreational and medical sales.

6

On May 2, 2017, we received our OLCC recreational license for our Portland Kaya Shack™ outlet (Kaya Shack™ OLCC Marijuana Retailer License #3) after a delay of approximately four months. During that period, we were limited to solely medical sales at the Portland location. Upon receipt of Kaya Shack™ OLCC Marijuana Retailer License #3, recreational sales recommenced at that location. Our OLCC License for the Central Salem Kaya Shack™ Marijuana Superstore (Kaya Shack™ OLCC Marijuana Retailer License #4) has been filed and is pending completion, inspection and final licensing.

6

 

During the third quarterAugust of 2017, we purchased 26 acres in Lebanon, Oregon, for development as a legal cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility. The company is in the process of planning and permitting.

On February 15, 2018, we received our OLCC recreational, medical and home delivery license for the Central Salem Kaya ShackTMoutlet (Kaya ShackTM OLCC Marijuana Retailer License #4) a 3,100-square foot Kaya ShackTM Marijuana Superstore in Central Salem, Oregon. After various construction and permitting delays, On April 12, 2018, the location opened for business with both recreational and medical sales.

On August 18, 2018, the Company had concluded the purchase of the Eugene, Oregon based Sunstone Farms manufacturing facility, which is licensed by the OLCC for both the production of medical and recreational marijuana flower and the processing of cannabis concentrates/extracts/edibles. The purchase includes a 12,000 square foot building housing and indoor grow facility, as well as equipment for growing and extraction activity. The facility can produce in excess of 800 pounds cannabis flower annually as currently outfitted.

As part of planned expansion and renovations for the facility, the Company has begun the site improvements and is ramping up production to feed the existing four OLCC licensed cannabis retail stores in Oregon.

 

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net income of $2,436,271$11,830,652 for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and a net loss of $899,566$14,881,793 for the nine monthsyear ended September 30, 2016.December 31, 2017. The increase in net income is due to the changes in derivative liabilities and the company continues to have operating losses. At September 30, 2017,2018 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $5,147,348$594,654 and is totally dependent on its ability to raise capital. The Company has a plan of operations and acknowledges that its plan of operations may not result in generating positive working capital in the near future. Even though management believes that it will be able to successfully execute its business plan, which includes third-party financing and capital issuance, and meet the Company’s future liquidity needs, there can be no assurances in that regard. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this material uncertainty. Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional funds to successfully develop its operations and activities. Management plans include:

 the sale of additional equity and debt securities,
 alliances and/or partnerships with entities interested in and having the resources to support the further development of the Company’s business plan,
 business transactions to assure continuation of the Company’s development and operations,
 development of a unified brand and the pursuit of licenses to operate recreational and medical marijuana facilities under the branded name.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) under the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure.  

 7 

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in its sales and earnings.  The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the uncertainty associated with the commercialization and ultimate success of the product, (ii) competition inherent at other locations where product is expected to be sold (iii) general economic conditions and (iv) the related volatility of prices pertaining to the cost of sales. 

     

Fiscal Year

 

The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

Non-Controlling Interest

 

The company owns 55% of Marijuana Holdings Americas, Inc.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods purchased, which are valued at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method.  The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.  Total Value of Finished goods inventory as of September 30, 20172018 is $150,936$137,106 and $83,997$118,296 as of December 31, 2016.2017. No allowance wasas necessary as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-7 years of the respective assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

   

Long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of its intangible assets, management performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flow of the individual assets over the remaining amortization period. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows.

 

Operating Leases

 

We lease our retail stores under non-cancellable operating leases. Most store leases include tenant allowances from landlords, rent escalation clauses and/or contingent rent provisions. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, excluding contingent rent, and record the difference between the amount charged to expense and the rent paid as a deferred rent liability.

 8 

 

Deferred Rent and Tenant Allowances

 

Deferred rent is recognized when a lease contains fixed rent escalations. We recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis starting from the date of possession and record the difference between the recognized rental expense and cash rent payable as deferred rent. Deferred rent also includes tenant allowances received from landlords in accordance with negotiated lease terms. The tenant allowances are amortized as a reduction to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease starting at the date of possession.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, the Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed if the Company has net income; otherwise it would be antidilutive,anti-dilutive, and would result from the conversion of a convertible note.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets

for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets

that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active

markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets

or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by

observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions

incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value.

These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant

assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

 9 

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable & accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable – related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company accounts for its derivative liabilities, at fair value, on a recurring basis under level 3. See Note 7.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.

 

For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-ScholesBinomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt.  These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount.  The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Extinguishments of Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for extinguishments of liabilities in accordance with ASC 860-10 (formerly SFAS 140) “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. When the conditions are met for extinguishment accounting, the liabilities are derecognized and the gain or loss on the sale is recognized.

Stock-Based Compensation - Employees

 

The Company accounts for its stock basedstock-based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  

10

 

The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  

 

If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded, the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (based on sales to third parties) (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-ScholesBinomial Option Model option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected life of options and similar instruments represents the period of time the option and/or warrant are expected to be outstanding. Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, i.e., expected term = ((vesting term + original contractual term) / 2), if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

 

Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index.  The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

11

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – Non Employees

 

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

11

 

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company’s most recent private placement memorandum (“PPM”), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-ScholesBinomial option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

 

 

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder’s expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments.  The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior.  If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

 

Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index.  The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility.  If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends.  An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends.  The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

12

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.

 

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

12

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

 

Revenue Recognition

  

Revenue is recorded when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) asset is transferred to the customer without further obligation, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the purchase of goods and third party testing of the Company’s products.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

13

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements.

 

The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify the accounting for share based payment award transactions. The new standard will modify several aspects of the accounting and reporting for employee share based payments and related tax accounting impacts, including the presentation in the statements of operations and cash flows of certain tax benefits or deficiencies and employee tax withholdings, as well as the accounting for award forfeitures over the vesting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company anticipates the new standard will result in an increase in the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and will add volatility to the Company’s effective tax rate and income tax expense. The magnitude of such impacts will depend in part on whether significant employee stock option exercises occur.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Topic 83530): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

ASU 2015-11 states that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance excludes inventory measured using last in, first out or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is not planning to early adopt ASU 2015-11 and is currently evaluating ASU 2015-11 to determine the potential impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)Leases (“ASU 2016-02”).

ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the balance sheetfirst quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The new leases standard requires a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its rightmodified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the underlying asset forimpact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the lease term.Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). The ASUnew standard changes the presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual reportingfiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 20182017. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-08 does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses. The amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, it (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. This ASU is the final version of proposed ASU 2015-330 Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which has been deleted. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods. We doperiods, beginning after December 15, 2017.

The ASU adds SEC paragraphs to the new revenue and leases sections of the Codification on the announcement the SEC Observer made at the July 20, 2017 EITF meeting.

Re-Classifications

Certain amounts in 2016 were reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on consolidated net loss for the periods presented.

The fair value of the warrants on the date of issuance and on each re-measurement date of those warrants classified as liabilities is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: contractual life according to the remaining terms of the warrants, no dividend yield, weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.09% at September 30, 2017 and weighted average volatility of 130%. For this liability, the Company developed its own assumptions that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. This method of valuation involves using inputs such as the fair value of the Company's various classes of preferred stock, stock price volatility, the contractual term of the warrants, risk free interest rates and dividend yields.

Thereforeliability, therefore the Company accounted for these Notes under ASC Topic 815-15 “Embedded Derivative.”  The derivative component of the obligation is initially valued and classified as a derivative liability with an offset to discounts on convertible debt. Discounts are amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the related note.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is, from time to time involved in litigation in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Goldin and Wally Goldin, respectively, pursuant to which they each purchased 2,222,222 “restricted” shares of our common stock for $100,000 in a private transaction. In addition, Daniel A. Goldin alleged that the Company breached a purported employment agreement with him pursuant to which he was purportedly to be compensated for working in our Oregon operations through a combination of cash and stock.

On February 9, 2018 KAYS submitted a site plan review for the Company’s envisioned 101,000 square foot OLCC licensed Kaya Farms™ Marijuana Grow and Manufacturing Complex and an application for a conditional use permit for marijuana processing on the Company owned 26.50-acre property zoned Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) with brands in oils, vape cartridges, concentrates, a selection of edibles,the Linn County, Oregon Planning and infused creams and lotions.Building Department.

 

 

On March 9, 2018 KAYS was notified by the Linn County, Oregon Planning and Building Department (the “Department ”) that the application was deemed complete and received an official letter of completeness with respect to the application. The formal “ Letter of Completeness ,” sent March 9, 2018 by a Linn County Senior Planner, confirmed the eligibility of the Company’s 26-acre plot for the purposes of growing legal cannabis, as well as the eligibility of the property for a special purpose exemption for the Company’s proposed manufacturing operations.

On April 20, 2018 KAYS was notified by the Department that the site plan review for the indoor and outdoor marijuana operation on the 26.50-acre property (which encompasses approximately 86,000 square feet of the Company’s 101,000 square feet of the Company’s submitted buildings) had been approved. However, the conditional use permit for marijuana processing (which encompasses approximately 15,000 square feet of the Company’s 101,000 square feet of the Company’s submitted buildings) had been denied, largely due to the scale and coverage of the proposed processing operation. Additionally, local residents requested a hearing to appeal the approval of the site plan based on concerns that a portion of the approved site plan that supports the 36,000 square feet of green houses for outdoor growing is not eligible for the Irrigation rights that the Company possesses for the Property.

On June 12, 2018 the Linn County Planning Commission held a hearing and adopted a motion to Deny the previously approved site plan, citing that the proposed site plan does not comply with the odor and waste management standards set forth in Section 940.400 of the Linn County Development Code. 

On June 14, 2018 KAYS completed their application for OLCC Licensing as a Tier 2 Producer for the proposed Kaya Farms Linn County facility so as to maintain its place in que pending the resolution of the appeal of the appeal that it intended to file with the State of Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA).

On August 7, 2018 KAYS (through its Oregon Counsel Larkins Vacura Kayser LLP or “LVKLAW”) filed a Notice of Appeal with LUBA.

On September 17, 2018 KAYS filed the LUBA Petition for Review No. 2018-096 and received notice that the LUBA hearing was to be held on October 18, 2018.

On October 9, 2018 LVKLAW received a letter from Linn County’s Attorney notifying them that Linn County did not intend to file a response brief or appear at the LUBA hearing, and shortly thereafter LUBA cancelled the LUBA Hearing.

On November 13, 2018 LUBA issued its FINAL OPINION AND ORDER (the “Order”). The Order reversed the County’s decision and ordered the County to approve the Company’s Land Use Application for the to-be-built 85,000-square foot Kaya Farms & Greenhouse Facility in Lebanon, Oregon.

Purchase of Eugene, Oregon Marijuana Grow and Manufacturing Facility

On July 31, 2018 KAYS announced that it had entered into a preliminary agreement to purchase a Eugene, Oregon Marijuana Grow and Manufacturing Facility in a $1.55 million deal.

On October 23, 2018 KAYS announced that it had concluded the purchase of the Eugene, Oregon based Sunstone Farms manufacturing facility, which is licensed by the OLCC (Oregon Liquor Control Commission) for both the production (growing) of medical and recreational marijuana flower and the processing of cannabis concentrates/extracts/edibles. The purchase includes a 12,000 square foot building housing an indoor grow facility, as well as equipment for growing and extraction activity. The facility can produce in excess of 800 pounds cannabis flower annually as currently outfitted.

As part of planned expansion and renovations for the facility, KAYS (www.kayaholdings.com) has begun site improvements and is ramping up production to feed their four existing OLCC licensed cannabis retail stores which currently service the legal medical and recreational marijuana market in Oregon under the Kaya Shack™ brand (www.kayashack.com).

KAYS intends to utilize the processing facilities to grow their own top-shelf, connoisseur-grade marijuana flower, produce various brands of oils, edibles, concentrates and extracts, and develop medical grade laboratory facilities for the production of a proprietary Kaya Cannaceuticals™ line of both CBD and CBD/THC products for the health, skincare and medical industries.

Pursuant to an interim Management Agreement entered into between the parties, the Company has assumed operations of the 12,000-square foot facility pending transfer of the licenses by the OLCC to Kaya Farms, upon completion of a satisfactory compliance review.

The purchase price of $1.3 million for the OLCC licensed marijuana production and processing facility, consisting of the building and equipment was paid for by the issuance of 12 million shares of KAYS restricted stock to the seller at closing. The shares carry a lock-up-restriction that allows for their staged eligibility for resale over a 61-month period from the date of the purchase of the facility by KAYS.

Additionally, the seller purchased 2.5 million restricted shares for $250,000 in cash in a private transaction with the Company. The proceeds from the sale of those shares were and are being used for acquisition related expenses, transitional operating costs and facility capital improvements with respect to the production and processing facility we purchased.

$2.1 Million Financing

 

In March 2017, the Company completed a $2.1 million financing with an institutional investor (the “Investor”)Institutional Investor ”) who had previously furnished KAYS with $1.2 million in financing, pursuant to a financing agreement (the “$“$2.1M Financing Agreement”)Agreement ”) entered into between the Company and the Institutional Investor in December 2016. Pursuant to the $2.1M Financing Agreement, the Institutional Investor purchased $2.1 million in principal amount of convertible notes (the “$“$2.1M Notes”)Notes ”) from the Company as follows:

$1,000,000 in principal amount of $2.1M Notes which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10.

The purchase price for the $2.1M Notes is equal to the principal amount thereof. The $2.1M Notes have a term of two years from issuance and bear interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) annum, which accrues and is payable to together with interest at maturity. The Investor may convert the principal amount of the $2.1M Notes (as well as other notes it currently holds as referenced above), together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into shares at the applicable conversion price, at any time or from time to time prior to maturity. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions. The $2.1M Notes also provide that at no time may they be convertible if the number of shares being issued upon conversion to and then held by the Institutional Investor would result in the Institutional Investor beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock, after giving effect to the proposed conversion.

Market Overview

According to research firm Cowen & Co., legal cannabis sales in the U.S. are expected to reach $75 billion by 2030. The industry research firm Arcview, estimates a $22.6 billion legal cannabis market in North America by 2021, with 87% of all sales occurring in the United States. The Arcview forecast assumes a 27% compound annual growth rate, an assumption supported by current rates of growth, while reliant on additional states passing both recreational and medical cannabis laws.

Thirty-three states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana in some capacity. Additionally, ten states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington State) and the District of Colombia have approved the implementation of legal recreational marijuana use. The Marijuana Business Factbook 2017, published by industry news source Marijuana Business Daily, estimates that the legal marijuana sector will grow more than 300% from sales of $1.8 billion to $17.1 billion in 2021. The firm estimates that the economic impact of the legal cannabis industry will exceed $70 billion, placing it almost on par with nutraceuticals and ahead of movie tickets and retail ice cream. According to the Factbook, “to get another idea of just how big the marijuana industry has become, look to employment numbers. The cannabis sector now employs between 165,000-230,000 full and part-time workers….to put this in perspective, there are now more marijuana industry workers than there are bakers or massage therapists in the United States”.

Kaya Cares Cannabis Opioids Swap Program

In November 2017 the Company assisting in initiating a conversation on the role marijuana can play in addressing the opioid epidemic by announcing a willingness to implement Kaya Cares, an opioid – cannabis replacement program for current opioid prescription holders seeking to explore the efficacy of marijuana as a pain management substitute. The Company is proud to announce that its initiative was promoted online by a Now Weed Episode that gathered more than half a million views, attracted the support of minor celebrities, and reached the highest echelons of the Oregon State Government. The Company is further pleased to share that the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (“OLCC”) which is the State of Oregon’s marijuana licensing and regulatory authority, has opened a dialogue with local experts to explore legal and practical ways to use cannabis to alleviate some of the consequences of the opioid epidemic in Oregon. Kaya Holdings management has and will be participating in this critical dialogue and hopes to be part of the solution.

Market Overview

Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana in some capacity. Additionally, eight states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon and Washington State) and Washington, DC have approved the implementation of legal recreational marijuana use, with active legal cannabis economies flourishing in Colorado, Oregon and Washington. As Melia Robinson of Business Insider stated, “After a historic election cycle, which saw four states pass ballot initiatives legalizing nonmedical marijuana, one in five Americans now live in a state where it’s legal to smoke weed without a doctor’s letter.”

33

According to cannabis research firm Arcview, sales of legal marijuana in North America rose by 34% to $6.9 billion in 2016, and based on estimates from investment firm Cowen & Co., U.S. legal sales could reach $50 billion by 2026. For added context, ArcView estimates that North American black market sales totaled $46.4 billion last year.

Arcview projects sales will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25% through 2021, when the North American market is expected to top $20.2 billion in sales. “The only consumer industry categories I’ve seen reach $5 billion in annual spending and then post anything like 25% compound annual growth in the next five years are cable television (19%) in the 1990s and the broadband internet (29%) in the 2000s,” Tom Adams, editor in chief of Arcview Market Research, said in a statement.

Estimates from various sources for the size of the long-term market range from up to an excess of $100 billion if Federal Prohibition is repealed and marijuana sales become legal in all 50 states and Washington D.C. (for perspective beer is approximately a $100 billion market, with wine just under $30 billion and coffee approximately $12 billion).

Our Portland outlet initially operated as an MMD. In connection with the transition of recreational marijuana retailer licenses from the OHA to the OLCC, we applied for an OLCC license for the facility in 2016. However, issuance of the OLCC license for the Portland, Oregon outlet was delayed because of the need to resolve various local issues with the City of Portland. Accordingly, from January 1, 2017 until May 2, 2017, when we received Kaya ShackTMOLCC Marijuana Retailer License #3 for this location, sales at the Portland, Oregon location were limited to medical marijuana and as such our revenues from this location were impacted.

Kaya Shack™ Home Delivery

 

 

 

In early February of 2017, the Company began the process of filing applications to add Home Delivery Service for three of its Kaya Shack™ retail marijuana stores at the advice of one of their OLCC examiners. As of the date of this QuarterlyAnnual Report, the Company has received approvals from the OLCC to add Home Delivery to their threeall four of its currently OLCC licensed locations, and is also applying for and expects to receive approval for Home Delivery licensing at its fourth retail outlet, which is currently under construction.locations.

 

In addition to providing added value and convenience for our customers, extending visibility and building brand recognition for the Kaya Shack™ brand, we believe that Home Delivery provides greater market penetration, by allowing sales throughout the geographic area that our stores are licensed in.

Kaya Farms™ CannabisMarijuana Grow and Cannabis ProductsManufacturing Complex- Lebanon, Oregon

General

On March 21, 2017, KAYS announced that it was in the process of expanding its grow and manufacturing operations and had retained a realtor to assist in identifying a suitable 30-60 acre tract of land in Oregon which would permit KAYS to expand its grow operations. As part of this expansion, KAYS ceased operations of its then existing Portland grow facility at the end of March 2017, arranged to maintain its genetics library of over 30 strains of cannabis at an OHA licensed medical grow site and contracted with farmers to meet demand until the new facility is secured, built and fully operational.

 

In August 2017, weKAYS acquired a 26 acre parcel in Lebanon, Oregon, which KAYS intends to develop as a legal cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility. KAYS believes that the acquisition of a property will position the Company for future development, including increased Marijuana Canopy production to the maximum extent allowed by law through use of both greenhouse and outdoor grows,grows. A video of the Kaya Farms™ (Architect’s Project Rendition) can be seen at the following link:

Kaya Farms™ Status

On February 9, 2018 KAYS submitted a site plan review for the Company’s envisioned 101,000 square foot OLCC licensed Kaya Farms™ Marijuana Grow and Manufacturing Complex and an application for a conditional use permit for marijuana processing on the Company owned 26.50-acre property zoned Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) with the Linn County, Oregon Planning and Building Department.

On March 9, 2018 the Company was notified by the Linn County, Oregon Planning and Building Department (the “Department”) that the application was deemed complete and received an official letter of completeness with respect to the application. The formal “ Letter of Completeness ,” sent March 9, 2018 by a Linn County Senior Planner, confirmed the eligibility of the Company’s 26-acre plot for the purposes of growing legal cannabis, as well as the eligibility of the property for a special purpose exemption for the Company’s proposed manufacturing operations.

On April 20, 2018 the Company was notified by the Department that the site plan review for the indoor and outdoor marijuana operation on the 26.50-acre property (which encompasses approximately 86,000 square feet of the Company’s 101,000 square feet of the Company’s submitted buildings) had been approved. However, the conditional use permit for marijuana processing (which encompasses approximately 15,000 square feet of the Company’s 101,000 square feet of the Company’s submitted buildings) had been denied, largely due to the scale and coverage of the proposed processing operation. Additionally, local residents requested a hearing to appeal the approval of the site plan based on concerns that a portion of the approved site plan that supports the 36,000 square feet of green houses for outdoor growing is not eligible for the Irrigation rights that the Company possesses for the Property.

On June 12, 2018 the Linn County Planning Commission held a hearing and adopted a motion to Deny the previously approved site plan, citing that the proposed site plan does not comply with the odor and waste management standards set forth in Section 940.400 of the Linn County Development Code.

On August 7, 2018 KAYS (through its Oregon Counsel Larkins Vacura Kayser LLP or “LVKLAW”) filed a Notice of Appeal with LUBA. 

On September 17, 2018 KAYS filed the LUBA Petition for Review No. 2018-096 and received notice that the LUBA hearing was to be held on October 18, 2018. 

On October 9, 2018 LVKLAW received a letter from Linn County’s Attorney notifying them that Linn County did not intend to file a response brief or appear at the LUBA hearing, and shortly thereafter LUBA cancelled the LUBA Hearing. 

On November 13, 2018 LUBA issued its FINAL OPINION AND ORDER (the “Order”). The Order reversed the County’s decision and ordered the County to approve the Company’s Land Use Application for the to-be-built 85,000-square foot Kaya Farms & Greenhouse Facility in Lebanon, Oregon.

Eugene, Oregon Marijuana Grow and Manufacturing Facility

 

On July 31, 2018 KAYS announced that it had entered into a preliminary agreement to purchase a Eugene, Oregon Marijuana Grow and Manufacturing Facility in a $1.55 million deal.

On October 23, 2018 KAYS announced that it had concluded the purchase of the Eugene, Oregon based Sunstone Farms manufacturing facility, which is licensed by the OLCC (Oregon Liquor Control Commission) for both the production (growing) of medical and recreational marijuana flower and the processing of cannabis concentrates/extracts/edibles. The purchase includes a 12,000 square foot building housing an indoor grow facility, as well as equipment for growing and extraction activity. The facility can produce in excess of 800 pounds cannabis flower annually as currently outfitted.

As part of planned expansion and renovations for the facility, KAYS (www.kayaholdings.com) has begun site improvements and is ramping up production to feed their four existing OLCC licensed cannabis retail stores which currently service the legal medical and recreational marijuana market in Oregon under the Kaya Shack™ brand (www.kayashack.com).

KAYS intends to utilize the processing facilities to grow their own top-shelf, connoisseur-grade marijuana flower, produce various brands of oils, edibles, concentrates and extracts, and develop medical grade laboratory facilities for the production of a proprietary Kaya Cannaceuticals™ line of both CBD and CBD/THC products for the health, skincare and medical industries.

Pursuant to an interim Management Agreement entered into between the parties, the Company has assumed operations of the 12,000-square foot facility pending transfer of the licenses by the OLCC to Kaya Farms, upon completion of a satisfactory compliance review.

The purchase price of $1.3 million for the OLCC licensed marijuana production and processing facility, consisting of the building and equipment was paid for by the issuance of 12 million shares of KAYS restricted stock to the seller at closing. The shares carry a lock-up-restriction that allows for their staged eligibility for resale over a 61-month period from the date of the purchase of the facility by KAYS.

Additionally, the seller purchased 2.5 million restricted shares for $250,000 in cash in a private transaction with the Company. The proceeds from the sale of those shares were and are being used for acquisition related expenses, transitional operating costs and facility capital improvements with respect to the production and processing facility we purchased.

Kaya Farms Production Results for Q-3, 2018

On our shareholder conference call last December KAYS stated that we expected to have Kaya Farms in production by Fall 2018.

Although we are not yet in production at the Lebanon Farm facility due to the delay from zoning issues, we confirm that the Eugene, Oregon Kaya Farms Indoor Grow, Processing & Cannaceuticals Facility yielded its production capabilities with brandsfirst usable crop of two strains of shelf flower during Q-3 2018 as follows:

Stone Mountain Tangerine (approximately 23.38 lb of finished flower).

Train Wreck (approximately 28.74 lb of finished flower). 

Please see the following pages for copies of testing results and pictures of various aspects of production. 

Note: The facility is currently being renovated, and these small numbers are not representative of yields expected in oils, vape cartridges, concentrates, a selection of edibles,first quarter 2019 and infused creams and lotions.beyond.

Kaya Farms™ - Cannabis and Cannabis Products

Kaya Buddie™ Strain Specific Cannabis Cigarettes

  

In 2016 the Company introduced a signature line of strain-specific connoisseur-grade, pre-rolled cannabis cigarettes branded as “Kaya BuddiesBuddies™”..” Kaya Buddies™ cannabis cigarettes have been very well received by medical patients and recreational users, with the Company selling almost 100,000 Kaya Buddies™ since launching the brand in January 2016. The brand, marketed under the tagline “Buds with Benefits,”Benefits”, features over 2550 different strains of connoisseur-grade, high quality cannabis and proprietary specialty blends.

The In early 2018 the Company set up a formal manufacturing center for the production of Kaya Buddies™ at its South Salem Kaya Shack Superstore (Kaya #2) and is in the process of completing remodeling there to showcase the production of their Kaya Buddies™ cannabis cigarettes made from 100% cannabis bud only, was launched in mid-March in the Kaya Shack™ stores in Oregon and are targeted to service the exploding legal recreational marijuana market and have consistently been very well received by both older medical patients and recreational users new to cannabis.

Other Potential Markets

 

We believe that revenues and profitability will be enhanced through our planned opening of additional retail outlets utilizing the Kaya Shack™ brand and model in our chain, as well as economies of scale achieved by being a multilocationmulti-location retail chain and being vertically integrated with grow and manufacturing operations. Ultimately, we believe that we can successfully enter other markets as they open up by applying our “brand” retail chain and vertically integrated grow and manufacture model to other states that legalize recreational marijuana use. Where applicable, we will seek to leverage our public company status to finance organic growth and enable acquisitions of existing locations for the Kaya Shack brand, as well as look to acquire and grow additional brands.

  

On November 8, 2016, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada voted to legalize recreational marijuana, while Arkansas, Florida and North Dakota approved medical cannabis initiatives. Montana, which legalized medical marijuana in 2004, also passed a measure to set up commercial cultivation operations and dispensaries.

The California recreational cannabis market is by far the largest potential market in the country, and our operations in Oregon allow for a natural progression and expansion down the I-5 corridor into California. Florida, should it become a recreational market, could be a potentially large market for us as well, because we believe that KAYS would have a distinct advantage in the state, as it is one of the few Florida-based entities whose management has significant experience in owning and operating MMDs andretail dispensaries, a grow and manufacturing operations. These markets are substantial, and their development could lead to $7-$8 billion in additional annual retail cannabis sales, according to Marijuana Business Daily’s preliminary estimates.

 

Growth Strategy

 

The Company has established a well-defined strategy for entering and maintaining a strong presence in the legal marijuana sector. The cornerstones of this strategy include:

 

All operations are to be conducted in accordance with state and local laws and regulations and guidance outlined in the U.S. Department of Justice “Cole Memo” dated August 29, 2013.
·All operations are to be conducted in accordance with State and Local Laws and Federal Enforcement Policies and Priorities as it relates to Marijuana (as outlined in the Justice Department's Cole Memo dated August 29, 2013, former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions Memo dated January 4, 2018, and subsequent commentary from US Attorney for the District of Oregon Billy Williams).

 

The Company will seek to operate in a vertically integrated manner (grow, process and sell) wherever permitted by law. In states where vertical integration is not permitted, the Company plans to determine which of the permitted activities offers the most potential for growth and value creation.

Our core strategic marketing objectives include:

 

 Establish theEstablishingthe Kaya Shack™ Brand– positioning the Company’s brand to have positive and value related associations with all prospective and existing customers.

 OperateOperating Cooperatively- cooperation, as a strategy, helps develop a network of suppliers and marketing channels able to promote Kaya Shack™.

 DeliverDelivering Value- customer value is achieved when the perceived value of what we sell along with the value of the experience we deliver exceeds the price we charge.

 DriveDriving Customer Traffic  - the only two ways to increase store income is to sell more to our existing customers and attract new customers. Programs are in place to accomplish both tasks.

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws directly applicable to our operations. As we continue to expand the scope of our operations, the application of existing laws and regulations could include matters such as pricing, advertising, consumer protection, quality of products, and intellectual property ownership. In addition, we will also be subject to new laws and regulations directly applicable to our activities.

 

Any existing or new legislation applicable to us could expose us to substantial liability, including significant expenses necessary to comply with such laws and regulations, which could hinder or prevent the growth of our business.

Federal, state and local laws and regulations governing legal recreational and medical marijuana use are broad in scope and are subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance. In addition, violations of these laws or allegations of such violations could disrupt our planned business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that additional or revised federal, state and local laws and regulations may be enacted in the future governing the legal marijuana industry. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with any such laws and regulations and its failure to do so could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Competition

  

The legal marijuana sector is rapidly growing and the Company faces significant competition in the operation of retail outlets, MMDs and grow facilities. Many of these competitors will have far greater experience, more extensive industry contacts and greater financial resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that we can adequately compete to succeed in our business plan.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this QuarterlyAnnual Report, our Oregon operations have a total of seventeen (17)17 part-time store employees including budtenders, trimmers, growers, and 4 fulltime5 full-time employees, consisting of a Store Manager,two store managers, a Sales and Marketing Coordinator, the Director of Dispensary and Grow Operations and a Master Grower. Additionally, we engage several consultants to assist with daily duties and business plan implementation and execution. Additional employees will be hired and other consultants engaged in the future as our business expands.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The following are deemed to be the most significant accounting estimates affecting us and our results of operations:

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820. This Topic defines fair value, establishes a measurement framework and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We apply these provisions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and notes payable.

56

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Our deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planningtaxplanning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not”“morelikelythannot” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the SEC believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

July 2018 $250,000.00 Private Placement Funding

On July 13, 2018, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement to acquire a 12,000 square foot indoor marijuana grow and manufacturing facility with a current production capability of 800 pounds of high quality medical and recreational cannabis annually, as well as the machines and equipment necessary to begin production and processing as well as utilize the current OLCC Production License for growing, and OLCC Processing License for the manufacture of extracts, oils and edibles.

On July 26, 2018 the Company completed the first stage of the transaction with the seller’s purchase of 2,500,000 restricted shares in the Company for $250,000 in a private transaction. The proceeds from the sale of those shares were and are being used for acquisition related expenses, transitional operating costs and facility capital improvements with respect to the production and processing facility we purchased.

On October 23, 2018 KAYS announced that it had concluded the transaction and acquired the facility; for more details regarding the purchase of the facility please refer to the early discussion in this document.

Use of Proceeds

The proceeds from the offer and sale of the $2.1M Notes, the May 2017 Notes and the January 2018 notes and are and will be used to fund the Company’s growth plan, including the expansion of our chain of Kaya Shack™ Marijuana Superstores in Oregon, the acquisition and development of our Lebanon, Oregon legal cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility, the operation and development of our Eugene, Oregon 12,000 square foot indoor legal marijuana grow and manufacturing facility and the development and introduction of new Kaya Shack™ branded cannabis products.

The funds from the July 2018 $250,000 Private Placement are being used for acquisition related expenses, transitional operating costs and facility capital improvements with respect to the Eugene, Oregon facility.

Plan of Operations

Management believes that consummation of the proceeds received and expected to be received from the above described financings as well as any other financing transactions that it may enter into, combined with existing and anticipated revenues, has alleviated the Company’s financial difficulties to a significant extent and will allow the Company to meet its anticipated working capital needs for a period of between twelve and eighteen months from the date of this report. However, there can be no assurance that the balance of the $7.75 million financing will be completed, or that management’s belief will be correct and that the Company will not sooner require additional financing to meet its working capital needs prior to achieving profitability or positive cash flow. Moreover, we may not be successful in raising additional capital on commercially reasonable terms, if and when needed, in which case our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the direction of Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer), we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017.2018. Our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 for the reasons set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by SEC Rule 13a15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fourth fiscal quarter covered by this report.September 30, 2018. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future

conditions, regardless of how remote. 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There was no change in our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during the quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We do not anticipate any changes to our internal controls at this time.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

None.

On June 22, 2016, Daniel A. Goldin and Wally Goldin commenced an action in Oregon Circuit Court, Multnomah County, against the Company, MJAI, its direct majority-owned subsidiary, Craig Frank, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, William David Jones, a consultant to our Company and BMN Capital Group, LLC (the “Action”). The plaintiffs alleged breach of contract, state securities fraud and state racketeering claims against the defendants arising from alleged misrepresentations made in subscription agreements with the Company entered into in October 2015 and January 2016 by Daniel A. Goldin and Wally Goldin, respectively, pursuant to which they each purchased 2,222,222 “restricted” shares of our common stock for $100,000 in a private transaction. In addition, Daniel A. Goldin alleged that the Company breached a purported employment agreement with him pursuant to which he was purportedly to be compensated for working in our Oregon operations through a combination of cash and stock. The plaintiffs are sought in excess of $1.7 million in damages.

The Company believed that not only was the Action without merit, but that it had various counterclaims against the plaintiffs, particularly Daniel L. Goldin. The Company defended against the Action and pursued its counterclaims both in the Action and in a separate lawsuit commenced against the plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in which the Company alleged fraud by the plaintiffs and sought damages and the return of the common stock issued to the Company’s treasury

In September 2017, the parties entered in a settlement agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Goldin waived any rights to a total of 1.2 million shares of KAYS stock (200,000 shares of our common stock which were already issued in his name and an additional 1,000,000 shares which were to be issued) and $40,000 in cash compensation payable to him under the employment agreement. The Company paid the plaintiffs the sum of $247,500, in exchange for the return of the stock and the waiver of claims against any further stock or cash, all litigation was dismissed by the parties and the parties exchanged mutual releases.

In entering into the settlement agreement, the Company also took into consideration that legal fees and litigation costs incurred in proceeding further might very well exceed any judgment that would be awarded to the Company and the other defendants, and that even if a judgment were awarded, that there was significant doubt of the collectability of any such judgment from the Goldins.
