Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To Management of

JG HoldCo LLC and Related Entities

 

Report on Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements of JG HoldCo LLC and Related Entities (the “Entities”) which comprise the consolidated and combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated and combined statements of operations, members’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated and combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated and combined financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and combined financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated and combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated and combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated and combined financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated and combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entities as of December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

 

 

Report on Supplementary Information

 

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated and combined financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information on pages 26 and 27 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated and combined financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated and combined financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated and combined financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated and combined financial statements or to the consolidated and combined financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated and combined financial statements as a whole.

 

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Entities will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, although the nature of the Entities’ business is legalized within the States of California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Missouri, New Jersey, and Utah, it is considered to be an illegal activity under the Controlled Substances Act of the United States of America. The Entities are subject to certain significant risks and uncertainties associated with conducting operations subject to conflicting federal, state, and local laws in an industry with a complex regulatory environment which is continuously evolving. These risks and uncertainties include the risk that all of the Entities’ assets are potentially subject to seizure of confiscation by governmental agencies and the uncertainty that regulatory changes may adversely affect the Entities’ operations, or even compel the Entities to cease their operations. Operationally, the Entities have incurred significant losses related to start-up and pre-operational activities. Additionally, the Entities have certain third party notes and debt that have matured since the balance sheet date or will mature one year within the report date. Management has determined that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Entities’ ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated and combined financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

JG provides management services to various entities throughout the United States via the common management entity, Oakland Manager LLC (“Manager”). JG also provides application writing services.

 

Matanzas Alliance (“Matanzas”) is licensed in the State of California as a cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution center under proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”) made effective November 8, 2016 and under the Medical and Adult Use of Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“AUCRSA”) made effective as of January 1, 2018 by the state. The AUCRSA allows local and county governments to control the licensing and regulation of cultivators, dispensaries and patients of medical marijuana. Matanzas is licensed to operate a manufacturing center in Santa Rosa, California, where Matanzas manufactures cannabis products to be sold to California state licensed medical cannabis facilities. Matanzas received its license on May 16, 2019 to operate a distribution center in Santa Rosa, California, where Matanzas sells cannabis products and provides select services to California state licensed medical cannabis dispensaries. Starting September 9, 2019, Matanzas was licensed to sell adult recreational products, in addition to medical cannabis, to California state licensed dispensaries.

 

JG IL LLC (“JG IL”) is licensed in the State of Illinois as a cultivation center under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, effective as of January 1, 2014 and amended by Public Act 101-363 on January 1, 2019 to remove the pilot status (the “Medical Cannabis Act”). Under the Medical Cannabis Act, the Illinois Department of Agriculture registered and regulated a certain number of cultivation centers in the State of Illinois. JG IL received its license to operate a cannabis cultivation facility in Edgewood, Illinois, where JG IL produces cannabis products to be sold to Illinois state licensed medical cannabis dispensaries. JG IL is licensed to sell adult recreational products, in addition to medical cannabis, to Illinois state licensed dispensaries.

JG NJ received its license in October 2020 to operate a cannabis cultivation facility in Ewing, New Jersey, where JG NJ produces cannabis products to be sold to New Jersey state licensed medical cannabis facilities.

 

Entities shall continue perpetually, unless otherwise dissolved under the terms of the Agreement.

 

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Entities are considered to be participating in an illegal activity under the Controlled Substances Act of the United States of America and, therefore, all of the Entities’ assets are at risk of seizure or confiscation by governmental agencies. However, management believes this is unlikely to occur. Additionally, the Entities are operating at a net loss; however, management anticipates losses during the current year as operations are in start-up phases for most of the year and not fully operational. The Entities have certain third-party notes and debt that have matured since the balance sheet date or will mature one year within the report date but management is currently in process of refinancing those loans with the existing holder or with new debt. The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared assuming the Entities will continue to operate as a going concern.

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2020

 

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The consolidated and combined financial statements of the Entities are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Entities that have been combined have common ownership and management has determined that combined presentation is appropriate. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and combination.

 

Noncontrolling interest

Noncontrolling interest represents equity contributions made by NJ JG Investment I, LLC, Double Up LLC and Rookie Deal LLC (collectively “Noncontrolling Members”) for a 13% ownership interest in JG New Jersey, LLC. The Noncontrolling Members allocated income and losses from their respective operations are in accordance with the respective operating agreements.

 

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated and combined financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Concentration of credit risk

The Entities maintain cash on hand in secure vaults and maintain cash on deposit with several financial institutions. Risk associated with cash on deposit is mitigated by banking with FDIC insured credit worthy institutions. Management has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

 

Concentration of market risk and cannabis industry risk

The Entities’ operations are currently limited to providing services to cannabis operations in California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Missouri, New Jersey, and Utah. Any changes in the applicable rules governing the cultivation, manufacturing, distributing, or sale of cannabis in California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Missouri, New Jersey, and Utah or the local jurisdictions in which the Entities’ operation could negatively impact the Entities’ operations.

 

The Entities’ operations are dependent on economic and legal conditions which affect the medical cannabis industry, and changes in those conditions may affect the Entities’ continuing operations. While the nature of the Entities’ operations is legalized and approved by the States of California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Utah, it is considered to be an illegal activity under the Controlled Substances Act of the United States of America. Accordingly, certain additional risks and uncertainties are present, as discussed in the notes.

 

 

JG HoldCo LLC and Related Entities

 

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2020

 

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are from medical and adult use cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and dispensary within the States of California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Missouri, New Jersey, and Utah and are based on net charges. An allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is established on an aggregate basis by using historical write-off rate factors applied to unpaid accounts based on aging. Loss-rate factors are based on historical loss experience and adjusted for economic conditions and other trends affecting the Entities’ ability to collect outstanding amounts. Uncollectible amounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period they are determined to be uncollectible. The reserve for amounts which may not be collected of $16,593 has been netted against accounts receivable.

 

Inventory

The Entities’ inventory includes finished goods and work-in-process goods. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined using the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost basis. The Entities review inventory for waste and obsolete goods and any such inventories are written down to net realized value. The Entities reduced the value of its inventory by $1,176,538 in order to reflect the market value for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Deferred loan fees

Deferred loan fees, net of accumulated amortization, are reported as a direct deduction from the face amount of the mortgage loan payable to which such costs relate. Amortization of deferred loan fees is reported as a component of interest expense and is computed on a straight-line basis over the life of the related loan. As of December 31, 2020, JG New Jersey incurred $175,000 of deferred loan fees but has not yet procured the loan and, therefore, currently has it recorded as other asset on the accompanying consolidated and combined balance sheet.

 

Property and equipment

The Entities capitalize property and equipment with costs or fair value of $3,000 or more. Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

		Years
Buildings		39
Land improvements		20
Building improvements		7
Leasehold improvements		Various (depends on lease term)
Machinery and equipment		7
Furniture and fixture		7
Autos, trucks, trails		5
Computer hardware and software		5

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2020

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Entities review their intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When recovery is reviewed, if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the property are less than its carrying amount, management compares the carrying amount of the property to its fair value in order to determine whether an impairment loss has occurred. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. No impairment loss has been recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Revenue recognition

The JG operated entities (“Operational Entities”) cultivate and sell cannabis and cannabis derived products (“Products”) to medical and adult use cannabis dispensaries in the States of California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Missouri, New Jersey, and Utah. The Operational Entities record sales of their Products when the control of the Products is transferred to the customer, which is normally upon point of sale. Payment is due within 30 days. The Operational Entities recognize revenue on their Products in the amount they expect to be entitled to, that is, the agreed-upon sale price.

 

The Operational Entities do not establish a liability for returns as no returns are allowed on sales. The Operational Entities have no further obligations after transferring control of Products.

 

Sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue producing transaction, and are collected by the Operational Entities from customers, are excluded from revenues and cost of sales in the consolidated and combined statement of operations.

 

Rent expense

The rental expense has been recorded for the period of occupancy using the actual lease rental terms, which is approximately the same as if rental expense was presented on a straight-line basis.

 

Advertising and promotion

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs during the year ended December 31, 2020 were $136,732.

 

Income taxes

The Entities have elected to be treated as corporations for income tax purposes and, as such, are subject to income taxes. All items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are subject to income taxes on the Entities’ income tax returns. The Entities’ federal tax status as a corporation is based on their legal status as a limited liability company. Accordingly, the Entities are required to take positions that would be expected for corporations subject to income taxes. The Entities are required to file and do file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these consolidated and combined financial statements reflect a provision for income taxes and is disclosed in Note 11. Income tax returns filed by the Entities are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2017 remain open.

 

The Entities are required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained under examination. Due to the nature of the Entities’ primary activity, it is more likely than not that the Entities will be subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 280E (“280E”). The imposition of 280E disallows all tax deductions for general and administrative expenses.

 

 

JG HoldCo LLC and Related Entities

 

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2020

 

The Entities have evaluated the potential impact on the consolidated and combined financial statements arising from the imposition of 280E and, due to the lack of formal guidance available for 280E, it has been determined that any adjustment to the consolidated and combined financial statements that may be required due to its improper application cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, no provision for the effect of uncertain tax positions has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements.

 

Recently issued accounting standards update

In June 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-05 Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities, which provide for the elective deferrals of the effective dates of Topic 842 for certain entities. Upon its adoption, Topic 842 replaces existing lease accounting guidance and requires lessees to recognize right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for their leases other than those on their consolidated and combined financial statements for all leases, including those classified as operating, except for short-term leases. Lessor accounting under Topic 842 is largely unchanged when compared to existing guidance. The Entities have elected to apply the deferrals provided by ASU 2020-05 and, therefore, expect to adopt Topic 842 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Entities are currently evaluating the potential impacts of adopting Topic 842 on its consolidated and combined financial statements.

 

Commitments and contingencies

In early 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged globally. As a result, events have occurred including mandates from federal, state and local authorities leading to an overall decline in economic activity which could result in a loss of revenue and other material adverse effects to the Entities’ financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As of December 31, 2020, the global pandemic is still ongoing. Management continues to monitor the results of operations to evaluate the economic impact of the pandemic on the Entities. The Entities are not able to estimate the length or severity of this outbreak and the related financial impact.

During 2020, 1111 Petaluma Hill LLC (“Petaluma”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell its real estate and assets. On December 11, 2020, Petaluma sold the aforementioned property for a sales price of $ 1,750,000 less selling costs of $8,494. Accordingly, Petaluma wrote off the remaining book value of all the real estate assets covered under the purchase and sale agreement that resulted in a loss of $343,290, which is recognized in loss on disposal of fixed asset on the accompanying consolidated and combined statement of operations. The Entities have no continuing involvement in the real estate that was sold.

Accordingly, 3803 wrote off the remaining book value of all the real estate assets covered under the purchase and sale agreement that resulted in a loss of $241,372, which is recognized in loss on disposal of fixed asset on the accompanying consolidated and combined statement of operations. The Entities have no continuing involvement in the real estate that was sold.

 

Note 5 - Due to/from related parties

This includes the operating and business development entities, as well as the real estate entities of the Entities.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for the tax effects of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, primarily the reporting of certain accrued expenses and intangible assets. A valuation allowance is provided against those deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be determined that the valuation allowance is no longer required, the tax benefits of such deferred tax assets will be recognized in the future.
