NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

AmeriCann, Inc. ("the Company", “we”, “our” or "the Issuer") was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 25, 2010.

 

On January 17, 2014, a privately held limited liability company acquired approximately 93% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock from several of the Company's shareholders, which resulted in a change in control of the Company.

 

The Company's business plan is to design, develop, lease and operate state-of-the-art cultivation, processing and manufacturing facilities for licensed cannabis businesses throughout the United States.

 

The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including potential failure to secure funding to properly expand its operations.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The (a) consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited financial statements as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 14, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2019 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net loss.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Restricted Cash

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Cash and cash equivalents

  $ 87,140     $ 465,843  

Restricted cash

    511       826,219  

Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the cash flow statement

  $ 87,651     $ 1,292,062  

 

Amounts included in restricted cash represent those required to be set aside by a contractual agreement with a lender for the payment of specific construction related expenditures as part of the Company’s property development in Massachusetts.

Leases

 

Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted Topic 842 using the effective date method. Under this method, periods prior to adoption remain unchanged. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Under the available practical expedient, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets as both a lessee and lessor. Further, we elected a short-term lease exception policy on all classes of underlying assets, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which provides guidance requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for substantially all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective October 1, 2019 and elected the package of transition practical expedients for expired or existing contracts, which does not require reassessment of: (1) whether any of the Company’s contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements - Leases (Topic 842)." The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. This update provides an optional transition method that allows entities to elect to apply the standard using the modified retrospective approach at its effective date, versus recasting the prior years presented. If this adoption method is elected, an entity would recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company elected this adoption method on October 1, 2019 and the adoption did not result in any cumulative impact to retained earnings.

 

Additionally, the Company’s adoption of Topic 842 did not have a significant impact on the recognition, measurement or presentation of lease revenue and lease expenses within the consolidated statements of operations or the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company’s adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the timing or amount of the Company’s lease revenue as a lessor in its sublease agreement.  The Company’s prepaid land lease balance that was recorded in current and other assets in the Company’s September 30, 2019 balance sheet has been classified as a component of the Company’s right-of-use assets effective October 1, 2019. The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 are presented under the new standard, while comparative years presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy. See Note 7, Leases, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information. 

 

 

 

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,904,787 and $ 18,013,209 at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company is attempting to increase operations and generate additional revenues, the Company's cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds through the sale of its securities. 

 

Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate additional revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4.  NOTES PAYABLE

 

Unrelated

 

On August 2, 2019 the Company secured a $4,000,000 investment from an unrelated third party in the form of a loan. The loan was evidenced by a note which bears interest at the rate of 11% per year, is due and payable on August 2, 2022 and is secured by a first lien on Building 1 at the Company’s Massachusetts Cannabis Center (“MCC”).

 

The note holder also received a warrant which allows the holder to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.50 per share. The warrant will expire on the earlier of (i) August 2, 2024 or (ii) twenty days after written notice of the holder that the daily Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock was at least $4.00 for twenty consecutive trading days and the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock during the twenty trading days was at least 150,000 shares.

The broker for the loan received a cash commission of $320,000 plus warrants to purchase 48,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.50 per share and expire on August 2, 2024. The cash commission and the fair value of the warrants amounting to $52,392 were recognized as a discount to the note.

 

The Company allocated the proceeds between the note and the warrants based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value of the 600,000 warrants was $562,762 which was recognized as additional paid in capital and a corresponding debt discount. 

 

At June 30, 2020, the outstanding principal on these notes was $4,000,000 and the unamortized debt discount was $649,412. All debt discounts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the note. Amortization expense related to the debt discounts was $233,191 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

 

December 2017 Convertible Note Offering

Related Party

 

On February 1, 2016, we entered into an agreement with an unrelated party which provided us with borrowing capacity of $200,000. On May 1, 2016, the agreement was amended to increase the borrowing capacity to $1,000,000. On July 14, 2016, Strategic Capital Partners (“SCP”) assumed the $521,297 loan borrowed against this credit line, increasing the total balance owed to SCP to $2,431,646. SCP is controlled by Benjamin J. Barton, one of our officers and directors and a principal shareholder. The amounts borrowed from SCP were used to fund our operations.

 

On July 14, 2016, we entered into a debt modification agreement whereby a portion of the debt was converted into common stock and the remaining debt was renegotiated into two promissory notes.

 

Of the amounts owed to SCP, $500,000 was converted into 400,000 shares of our common stock ($1.25 conversion rate).

 

The remaining $1,756,646 owed to SCP was divided into two promissory notes.

 

The first note, in the principal amount of $1,000,000, bears interest at 9.5% per year and was due and payable on December 31, 2019. Interest is payable quarterly. The note can be converted at any time, at the option of SCP, into shares of our common stock, initially at a conversion price of $1.25 per share.

  

The second note, in the principal amount of $756,646, bears interest at 8% per year and matures on December 31, 2019. Interest is payable quarterly. The note is not convertible into shares of our common stock but is secured by a first lien on all amounts due to us by WGP. Any payments received from the sale, lease or commercialization of the property in Denver, and any amounts received from WGP, will be applied to the principal amount of the note. Otherwise, all unpaid principal and interest was due on December 31, 2019.

 

In connection with the debt modification agreement, we issued SCP warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $1.50 per share, and warrants to purchase an additional 800,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share. Both sets of warrants expired on June 30, 2020. We allocated the relative fair values to the warrants, stock options, and convertible debt, as determined by the Black Scholes option pricing model. Based on the Black Scholes option pricing model, a net debt premium of $72,651 was allocated to the warrants which are reflected in additional paid-in-capital. The debt premium is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the notes.

 

On September 30, 2019, both notes were amended and combined into one note, in the principal amount of $1,756,646, bearing interest of 9% per year and maturing on December 31, 2022. Additionally, the conversion option in the first note was eliminated. The new note is secured by all amounts due from WGP or its affiliates. SCP also received warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.25 per share and expire on December 31, 2022. The debt modification was deemed substantial and was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The fair value of the 1,500,000 warrants was $977,110 and was recognized as loss on extinguishment of debt and the remaining unamortized premium and discount was written off during the year ended September 30, 2019.

 

Accrued interest on these notes payable was $13,051 and $12,283 at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. 

 

11

 

At June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal on these notes was $581,646 and $1,756,646, respectively. Amortization of debt premium was $0 and $16,023 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

 

 

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

BASK (formerly Coastal Compassion, Inc). On April 7, 2016, we signed agreements with BASK. BASK is one of a limited number of organizations that has received a provisional or final registration to cultivate, process and sell medical and adult use cannabis by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission.

 

Pursuant to the agreements, we agreed to provide BASK with financing for construction and working capital required for BASK’s approved dispensary and cultivation center in Fairhaven, MA.

NOTE 7.  LEASES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

MCC. On January 14, 2015, we entered into an agreement to purchase a 52.6 acre parcel of undeveloped land in Freetown, Massachusetts. The property is located approximately 47 miles southeast of Boston. We are developing the property as the MCC. Plans for the MCC include the construction of sustainable greenhouse cultivation and processing facilities that will be leased or sold to Registered Marijuana Dispensaries under the Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Program. We paid the seller $100,000 upon the signing of the agreement which amount was applied toward the purchase price at the closing.

 

12

 

Between August 2015 and September 2016, there were several amendments to the Agreement to extend the closing date to October 14, 2016. As consideration for the extensions, the Company, agreed to increase the purchase price to $4,325,000 and paid the seller $725,000, which was applied to the purchase price of the land. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had paid $925,000 that was applied to the purchase price of the land at closing. On October 17, 2016, the Company closed on the land purchase via a sales-leaseback transaction. See ‘Operating Leases’ section below for additional information.

 

Operating Leases

 

Land

 

On October 17, 2016, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of a 52.6-acre parcel of undeveloped land in Freetown, Massachusetts. The deposits of $925,000 previously paid by the Company to the seller, Boston Beer Company (“BBC”), were credited against the total purchase price of $4,475,000. The remaining balance of $3,550,000 was paid to BBC by Massachusetts MMP. The property is located approximately 47 miles southeast of Boston. The Company is developing the property as the MCC. Plans for the MCC include the construction of sustainable greenhouse cultivation, processing, and infused product facilities that will be leased or sold to Registered Marijuana Dispensaries under the Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Program.

 

As part of a simultaneous transaction, the Company assigned the property rights to MMP for a nominal fee and entered a lease agreement pursuant to which MMP agreed to lease the property to the Company for an initial term of fifty (50) years. The Company has the option to extend the term of the lease for four (4) additional ten (10) year periods. The lease is a triple net lease, with the Company paying all real estate taxes, repairs, maintenance and insurance.

 

The lease payments will be the greater of (a) $30,000 per month; (b) $0.38 per square foot per month of any structure built on the property; or (c) 1.5% of all gross monthly sales of products sold by the Company, any assignee of the Company, or any subtenant of the Company. The lease payments will be adjusted up (but not down) every five (5) years by any increase in the Consumer Price Index.

 

Between October 17, 2016 and April 17, 2017, the monthly lease payments accrued, with all accrued lease payments paid to MMP on April 17, 2017. On April 17, 2017, the Company reimbursed MMP’s costs and expenses associated with the acquisition of the property, the lease, and the acquisition of the shares and the warrant from the Company (as further described below).

 

Under the terms of the lease, the Company had six (6) months to obtain $2.6 million in capital funding for the construction of the first phase building. In the event that the Company was unable to raise these funds within the six (6) month period, the Company had an additional six (6) month period to do so; provided, that the Company has paid accrued lease payments and closing costs. If the Company was then unable to raise these funds on or before twelve (12) months from October 17, 2016, the lease would terminate. On October 17, 2017, the lease agreement was amended to provide that the Company will have until 16 months from October 17, 2016 to raise $2.6 million in capital funding. In addition to extending the funding deadline, this amendment granted MMP warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrant can be exercised at any time on or after October 17, 2017 and on or before October 17, 2022. In February and April, 2018, the lease agreement was amended to provide that the Company will have until 20 months from October 17, 2016 to raise $2.6 million in capital funding. In addition to extending the funding deadline, this amendment granted MMP a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrant can be exercised at any time on or before October 17, 2022. In July 2018, the Company fulfilled the $2.6 million capital funding commitment.

 

The Company received a credit for the $925,000 paid towards the purchase price of the land in the form of discounted lease payments. For the initial fifty (50) year term of the lease, the lease payments will be reduced by $1,542 each month

 

In connection with the sale of the property to MMP and the lease, the Company and MMP entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued to MMP 100,000 shares of its common stock at par value of $0.0001 (“Common Stock”), and a warrant to purchase up to 3,640,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrant can be exercised at any time on or after October 17, 2018 and on or before October 17, 2020. The warrant does not contain a cashless exercise provision. The fair value of the warrant was established using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

 

Risk-free interest rate – 1.12 percent

 

Expected term – 4.0 years

 

Volatility – 115 percent

  

13

 

The Company allocated $1,899,966 to the warrant which is reflected in additional paid-in-capital and was initially allocated to prepaid land lease. The fair value of the common stock on the date of the agreement was $73,000, which is also reflected in additional paid-in-capital and was also initially allocated to prepaid land lease. On June 26, 2019 the expiration date of warrants to purchase 3,640,000 shares of common stock was extended to October 17, 2021. In August 2019, the Company completed construction of Building 1 at MCC and on September 1st, 2019, Bask, Inc commenced its 15-year lease of Building 1 which includes a base rent plus 15% of BASK’s gross revenue. The Company has the option to extend the term of the land lease for four (4) additional ten (10) year periods.

 

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 and recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities of $6,980,957 and $4,256,869, respectively. As part of the adoption, prepaid land lease balance of $2,724,088 was classified as a component of the Company’s ROU assets.

 

The Company constructed Building 1 on the leased land and on September 1, 2019, BASK, commenced its 15-year sublease of Building 1 which includes a base rent plus 15% of BASK’s gross revenues. This sublease income is recorded as Rental income - related party on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Office space

 

In January 2018 the Company's offices moved to 1550 Wewatta St, Denver, CO 80202. The office space lease is a month-to-month lease with an original term of less than 12 months. The leases require the Company to pay all taxes, maintenance, insurance, and other operating expenses. Lease expense for office space was $2,755 and $3,801 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $10,803 and $11,544 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This lease was terminated effective April 30, 2020.

 

Aggregate rental expense under all leases totaled $102,620 and $103,615 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Aggregate rental expense under all leases totaled $293,656 and $311,139 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

 

We did not record any income tax expense or benefit for the three or nine months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. We increased our valuation allowance and reduced our net deferred tax assets to zero. Our assessment of the realization of our deferred tax assets has not changed, and as a result we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our net deferred assets as of June 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. There were no significant changes to the calculation since September 30, 2019.

OVERVIEW

 

AmeriCann designs, develops, leases and plans to operate state-of-the-art cannabis cultivation, processing and manufacturing facilities. AmeriCann’s team includes board members, consultants, engineers and architects who specialize in real estate development, traditional horticulture, lean manufacturing, medical research, facility construction, regulatory compliance, security, marijuana cultivation and genetics, extraction processes, and infused product development.

 

AmeriCann’s flagship project is the Massachusetts Cannabis Center. The Massachusetts Cannabis Center (“MCC”) is being developed on a 52-acre parcel located in Southeastern Massachusetts. AmeriCann’s MCC project is permitted for 987,000 sq. ft. of cannabis cultivation and processing infrastructure, which is being developed in phases to support both the existing medical cannabis and the newly emerging adult-use cannabis marketplace.

 

The first phase of the million square foot project, Building 1, a 30,000 square foot cultivation and processing facility, is fully-operational and is currently 100% leased by a vertically-integrated Massachusetts cannabis company. AmeriCann generates revenue through lease arrangements with the operators that includes base rent and royalty payments up to 15% of gross revenue generated from products produced at the MCC.

 

AmeriCann, through a 100% owned subsidiary, AmeriCann Brands, Inc., has applied for licenses from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission to cultivate cannabis and provide extraction and product manufacturing support to the entire MCC project, as well as to other licensed cannabis farmers throughout regulated markets. AmeriCann Brands plans to operate in Building 2 at the MCC which is in the final design process. In addition to large-scale extraction of cannabis plant material, AmeriCann Brands plans to produce branded consumer packaged goods including cannabis beverages, vaporizer products, edible products, non-edible products and concentrates at the state-of-the-art facility.

 

AmeriCann plans to replicate the brands, technology and innovations developed at its MCC project to new markets throughout the country as a multi-state operator.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The Company believes that the COVID- 19 pandemic has had certain impacts on its business, but management does not believe there has been a material long-term impact from the effects of the pandemic on the Company’s business and operations, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity or capital and financial resources.

 

The Company has established policies to monitor the pandemic and has taken a number of actions to protect its employees, including restricting travel, encouraging quarantine and isolation when warranted, and directing most of its employees to work from home.

 

The Company’s Joint Venture partner recently commenced operations at AmeriCann’s Massachusetts Cannabis Center (“MCC”) in Freetown, MA. The initial phase of the development, Building 1, is a 30,000-square foot state-of-the-art cultivation and processing facility, 100 percent of which is occupied by Bask, Inc., an existing Massachusetts licensed vertically integrated cannabis operator. Building 1 is an operating, licensed medical cannabis cultivation and processing facility, which supports Bask’s medical dispensary, home delivery service, and wholesale partners.

 

In an effort to mitigate the COVID- 19 pandemic Massachusetts implemented a “Stay at Home Advisory.” The advisory commenced March 24, 2020 and concluded May 25, 2020. Massachusetts Governor Baker deemed medical cannabis businesses as an essential service and, therefore, Building 1 has continued to operate in a standard manner without interruption, while management implemented guidelines from the CDC and Massachusetts. Adult use recreational sales of cannabis are once again legal in Massachusetts.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Leases

 

Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 Lease Accounting using the Transition method. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. 

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Under the available practical expedient, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets as both a lessee and lessor. Further, we elected a short-term lease exception policy on all classes of underlying assets, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less).

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

 

Total Revenues

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we generated $146,569 and $0 in revenue, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we generated $215,950 and $0 in revenue, respectively. The increase in revenues is due to the lease rent revenue from BASK.

 

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

 

Advertising and marketing expenses were $638 and $37,832 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the advertising and marketing expenses were $38,179 and $98,878 respectively. The decrease is due to a decrease in public relations costs, as the Company is shifting its focus to the planning and development of Building 2, the second phase of development at the Massachusetts Cannabis Center.

 

Professional Fees  

 

Professional fees were $89,778 and $273,621 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the professional fees were $320,166 and $572,864, respectively. The decrease is due to a decrease in legal fees.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $ 347,759 and $199,058 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the general and administrative expenses were $1,197,723 and $716,261, respectively. The increase is primarily a result of an increase in depreciation expense, stock compensation expense and payroll expenses.

 

Recovery of Provision for Doubtful Accounts

 

Provision for doubtful accounts was $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the recovery of provision for doubtful accounts was $1,761,675 and $0, respectively. The decrease is a result of a reversal of the reserve on the receivable balance with WGP, as the payment was received in February 2020.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income was $5,844 and $7,150 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the interest income was $326,157 and $22,239, respectively. The increase is a result of the collection of the receivable balance from WGP.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $190,666 and $19,449 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the interest expense was $556,721 and $182,573, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to interest on the $4,000,000 loan and the amortization of debt discounts during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020.

 

17

 

Net Operating Income/Loss 

 

We had a net (loss) of $(489,479) and $(556,245) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We had a net income (loss) of $108,422 and $(1,651,673) for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in net loss is attributable to an increase in revenues as well as the collection of the arbitration award and changes in operating expenses and interest income and expense, each of which is described above.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,904,787 and $18,013,209 at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and had a net income of $108,422 (including a recovery of a previously recorded reserve of $1,761,675) for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. While the Company is attempting to increase operations and generate additional revenues, the Company's cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds through the sale of its securities. 

 

Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate additional revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Notes Payable

 

See Notes 4 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements filed with this report for information concerning our notes payable.

 

Analysis of Cash Flows 

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, our net cash flows provided by operations were $564,747 as compared to net cash flows used in operations of $1,060,762 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is primarily due to collection of the arbitration award, timing of working capital payments, and depreciation expense during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities were $359,158 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, consisting of additions to fixed assets and payments received on notes receivable. Cash flows used in investing activities were $4,684,199 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, consisting of additions to constructions in progress and payments received on notes receivable.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities were $1,410,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, consisting of payments on notes payable. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $1,734,501 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, consisting of common stock issued for cash, proceeds from note payable and proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

  

We do not have any firm commitments from any person to provide us with any capital.

 

18

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the same reasons that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective.

  

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As indicated in our Form 10-K filed on January 14, 2020, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2019 at the reasonable assurance level, as a result of a material weaknesses primarily related to a lack of a sufficient number of personnel with appropriate training and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, limited or no segregation of duties, and lack of independent directors.

 

We are currently in the process of evaluating the steps necessary to remediate these material weaknesses.

 

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
