Independent Auditor's Report

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Black Oak Gallery

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Black Oak Gallery (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance 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 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 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Black Oak Gallery as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BLACK OAK GALLERY 

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Note 1. Description of the Business

 

Organization

 

Black Oak Gallery ("Black Oak", "we", "us", "our" or the "Company") was incorporated on September 28, 2012, in the State of California as Oakland Community Collective. On April 23, 2013, the Company changed its name to Northgate Grand, Inc. On April 25, 2013, the Company changed its name to Black Oak Gallery. The Company does business as "Blüm".

 

Nature of Business

 

Black Oak Gallery opened its retail storefront in Oakland, California in November of 2012. We are a retail seller, distributor and grower of medical marijuana.

 

We sell a combination of our own cultivated products as well as high quality name-brand products from outside suppliers. In addition to multiple grades of medical marijuana, we sell "edibles" which include cannabis-infused baked goods, chocolates, and candies; cannabis-infused topical products, such as lotions, massage oils and balms; clones of marijuana plants; and numerous kinds of cannabis concentrates, such as hash, shatter and wax.

 

We service approximately 1,000 patients per day and have over 42,000 registered patients. Our location consists of a retail dispensary storefront, indoor cultivation area, laboratory and a 20-car capacity parking lot, collectively known as the Blüm Campus.

 

The Blüm Campus is located at 578 W. Grand Ave., Oakland, California.

 

Our website is www.blumoak.com.

 

Recent Developments

 

We entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Terra Tech Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Terra Tech"), that was dated as of December 23, 2015, pursuant to which we agreed to be acquired by Terra Tech (the "Merger"), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, as well as Terra Tech's unconditional right to terminate and abandon the Merger at any time prior to March 25, 2016. The Merger closed on March 31, 2016. See Note 10. Subsequent Events for more information.

Medicinal Marijuana Industry Overview

 

As of May 2016, there are a total of 24 states, plus the District of Columbia with legislation passed as it relates to medicinal cannabis. These state laws are in direct conflict with the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse, has no currently-accepted use for medical treatment in the U.S., and lacks acceptable safety for use under medical supervision.

 

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice has issued memoranda providing that, in those states and local governments where laws authorizing cannabis-related use have been enacted, it will focus its enforcement efforts on drug trafficking and prevent minors access to marijuana, not on prosecuting individuals complying with state laws.

 

Twenty-four states, plus the District of Columbia, have adopted laws that exempt patients from state criminal penalties who use medicinal cannabis under a physician's supervision. These are collectively referred to as the states that have de-criminalized medicinal cannabis, although there is a subtle difference between de-criminalization and legalization, and each state's laws are different. The states that have legalized medicinal cannabis are as follows (in alphabetical order):

 

Alaska,

Illinois

New Hampshire

Arizona,

Maine,

New Jersey,

California,

Maryland,

New Mexico,

Colorado,

Massachusetts,

New York,

Connecticut,

Michigan,

Oregon,

Delaware,

Minnesota

Pennsylvania,

District of Columbia,

Montana,

Rhode Island,

Hawaii,

Nevada,

Vermont, and

Washington.

  

Medical cannabis decriminalization is generally referred to as the removal of all criminal penalties for the private possession and use of cannabis by adults, including cultivation for personal use and casual, nonprofit transfers of small amounts. Legalization is generally referred to as the development of a legally controlled market for cannabis, where consumers purchase from a safe, legal, and regulated source.

 

The dichotomy between federal and state laws has also limited the access to banking and other financial services by marijuana businesses. Recently the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Treasury issued guidance for banks considering conducting business with marijuana dispensaries in states where those businesses are legal, pursuant to which banks must now file a Marijuana Limited Suspicious Activity Report that states the marijuana business is following the government's guidelines with regard to revenue that is generated exclusively from legal sales. However, since the same guidance noted that banks could still face prosecution if they provide financial services to marijuana businesses, it has led to the widespread refusal of the banking industry to offer banking services to marijuana businesses operating within state and local laws.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Although distributing medical marijuana, subject to adherence to state and local laws, is legally permitted in the City of Oakland and in the State of California, marijuana is illegal under federal law. We believe we operate our business in compliance with applicable California state and City of Oakland laws and regulations. Any changes in federal, state or local law enforcement regarding marijuana may affect our ability to operate our business. Any changes in banking, insurance or other business services may also affect our ability to operate our business.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on knowledge of current events and anticipated future events and accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Risks Related to Cash

 

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2015, and 2014, the Company did not have any amounts in deposit accounts in excess of federal insurance limits. The Company also maintains cash in its cash vaults. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers only highly liquid investments such as money market funds and commercial paper with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of their acquisition as cash equivalents. At December 31, 2015, and 2014, the Company did not hold any such investments.

 

Advertising Cost

 

The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $81,000 and $15,400, respectively.

 

Inventory and Consigned Inventories

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out method. The cost of a product is recorded as a cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized.

 

 
8
 

 

BLACK OAK GALLERY 

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

A substantial majority of the products we sell are provided by our suppliers on a consignment basis. These consigned inventories are not recorded on our balance sheet until we take title to the finished goods, which occurs when they are sold to the customer. Prior to selling such products to customers, our suppliers retain title to the consigned inventory. If our suppliers were to discontinue financing consigned inventory in this manner, it would require us to make cash outlays and we could incur expenses which, if material, could negatively affect our business and financial results.

 

The Company cultivates a portion of the products it sells. The costs associated with cultivation are deferred until the product is available for sale. Such amounts were not material at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition," by recognizing as revenue the fees we charge customers because persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees we charge are substantially fixed or determinable during the period that we provide the goods or services, the Company and its customers understand the specific nature and terms of the agreed upon transactions, and payment is made for the goods or services when they have been rendered.

 

Revenue is recognized net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, and returns, and net of taxes collected from customers that are remitted to governmental authorities, with the collected taxes recorded as current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority. Revenue is recorded upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at the time customers take delivery of our products at our retail dispensary. Upon purchase, we have no further performance obligations and collection is assured as sales are paid for at time of purchase.

 

Revenue related to the sale of consignment inventory is not recognized until the product is pulled from inventory and sold directly to our end-customers at our retail dispensary. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of consignment inventory on a gross basis, as it has determined that it is the primary obligor to the customer, has latitude in establishing the sales prices and profit margins of its products, has discretion in selecting its suppliers, is responsible for loss or damage to consigned inventory and through its customer validation process performs an important part of the process of providing such products to authorized customers. The Company believes that these factors outweigh the fact that the Company does not have title to the consigned inventory prior to its sale.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, and 2014, sales returns were not significant and, as such, no sales return allowance has been recorded as of December 31, 2015, and 2014.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for finished goods, such as flower, edibles and concentrates, as well as, packaging and other supplies, fees for services and processing, other expenses for services and allocated overhead. Overhead expenses include allocations of rent, administrative salaries, utilities and related costs.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Selling, General And Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred and consist of employee compensation such as retail and administrative employees, retail store and operating costs, advertising, insurance and other administrative costs.

 

Loyalty Rewards Program

 

We offer a customer loyalty rewards program which allows members to earn discounts on future purchases. The amount of unused discounts earned by our loyalty rewards program members is included in accrued liabilities and recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time a qualifying purchase is made. Revenue is recognized when points are redeemed by the loyalty rewards program member. The loyalty rewards program was enacted during April 2015 and the value of points accrued as of December 31, 2015, was approximately $23,291.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 3-7 years for furniture and equipment, leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life, generally five years, or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful lives of related assets are expensed as incurred.

  

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. If an indicator of impairment is identified management then evaluates whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows are sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount. If deemed insufficient, then an impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, no impairment loss was recognized.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company follows FASB ASC subtopic 850-10, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Material related party transactions are required to be disclosed in the financial statements, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. 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 statements of operation 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 statements of operations 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. See Note 8. Related Party Transactions for associated disclosures.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.

 

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect to temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded in equity.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

Uncertain tax positions

 

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax-related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general, and administrative expense, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases, which replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability. For finance leases the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset and for operating leases the lessee would recognize straight-line total lease expense. The Company is currently assessing the new standard and its impact on its financial statements.

BLACK OAK GALLERY 

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which modifies the presentation of noncurrent and current deferred taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2015-17 effective January 1, 2014.

  

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date, to make it effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently assessing the new standard and its impact on its financial statements.

 

Other Recently Issued, but Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Note 3. Equity

 

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000 shares of its common stock without par value. At December 31, 2015, and 2014, the total number of shares of the Company's common stock that were issued and outstanding was 10,000.

 

Common Stock

 

On September 28, 2012, the date of the Company's inception, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,000 shares of its common stock, 8,750 shares to Salwa Ibrahim and 1,250 shares to Derek Peterson, in consideration of $100.

 

October 1, 2012, the Company entered into a one year option agreement (the "Boss Option Agreement") with Boss Investments, Inc. ("Boss"), pursuant to which Boss was granted the right (the "Option") to purchase 50,000 shares (the "Option Shares") at an exercise price of $0.20 per share (the "Option Exercise Price"), which Option Shares were intended to represent a 50% ownership interest in the Company. The Company determined the fair value of the Boss Option Agreement at time of grant to be insignificant. Additionally, the Company determined that the Boss Option Agreement did not contain any non-standard, anti-dilutive features nor did it contain other terms causing it to be classified as a liability. During the year ended December 31, 2013, Boss paid the Option Exercise Price, but the Company did not issue the underlying shares.

 

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company agreed to exchange shares for certain services from Derek Peterson and Martin Kaufman, related parties. The Company determined the value of these services to be de minimis.
