Exhibit 99.2

 

 

Planet 13 Holdings Inc.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined

Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2023

(Unaudited and Expressed in United States dollars)

 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (“Planet 13” or the “Company”) consist of a condensed combined balance sheet at September 30, 2023, and condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, all of which reflect the Company’s anticipated acquisition of VidaCann LLC (“VidaCann”) and the anticipated disposition of Planet 13 Florida Inc. (“P13 Florida”) (such acquisition and disposition referred to herein as the “Transactions”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included herein have been derived from the following historical financial statements:

 

 

The amended and restated audited consolidated financial statements of Planet 13 as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022;

 

The audited financial statements of VidaCann as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022;

 

The amended and restated unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Planet 13 as at and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023; and,

 

The unaudited interim condensed financial statements of VidaCann as at and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the related notes, which are included herein, the financial statements and notes included in Planet 13’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on November 8, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024 and the financial statements and notes of VidaCann attached as Exhibits 99.3, 99.4, and 99.5 in Planet 13’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2024.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what the combined financial condition and results of operations would have reflected had the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of the operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

 

The unaudited pro forma information and adjustments are based upon current available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances, as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The actual adjustments to Planet 13’s consolidated financial statements recorded upon approval of the Transaction will likely differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS)

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquire VidaCann from the Sellers for agreed consideration of: (i) 78,461,538 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Base Share Consideration”), of which 1,307,698 shares will be issued to VidaCann’s industry advisor (the “VC Advisor”), subject to adjustments as set out in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) a cash payment of $4,000,000 (the “Closing Cash Payment”), subject to adjustments as set out in the Purchase Agreement; and (iii) promissory notes to be issued by the Company to the Sellers in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, subject to adjustments as set out in the Purchase Agreement. On September 30, 2023, the closing price of Planet 13 common stock was $0.86 as quoted on the OTCQX, the total consideration is valued at approximately $77,305,384. The Purchase Agreement contemplates that VidaCann will continue to have $3,000,000 of bank notes and $1,500,000 or less of related party notes payable to former VidaCann owners at the time of closing. The final determination of the consideration transferred and the related allocation of the fair value of the underlying net assets of VidaCann pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will ultimately be determined after the closing of the Transactions.

 

Post-transaction, and based on the number of outstanding shares as of September 30, 2023, the former equity holders of VidaCann, along with the VC Advisor, will have approximately 26.1% pro forma ownership of Planet 13 on a fully diluted basis, before factoring in any adjustments to the Base Share Consideration. Each Seller or equity holder of a Seller that holds over 5% in indirect interest in VidaCann and receives shares will be subject to a lock-up agreement restricting trading of the shares received, with the release of one-third of shares from such restrictions six months following closing and on the same date in each subsequent six months thereafter. The proposed transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024 or early in the second quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of approval from the applicable state cannabis regulators.

 

The Sellers will be granted the right on closing to nominate a director to the board of directors of Planet 13.

 

On January 22, 2024, Planet 13 entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Disposition Agreement”) with SGW FL Enterprises, LLC (the “SGWFL”), pursuant to which Planet 13 we will sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “P13 Florida Shares”) of P13 Florida, which owns a Planet 13’s Florida Medical Marijuana Treatment Center license (the “MMTC License”), for a cash payment at closing of $9,000,000. The sale of the MMTC License is a closing condition to the Pending Acquisition.

 

The disposition of P13 Florida is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024 or early in the second quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of approval from the applicable state cannabis regulators.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

To Management and the Members

Vidacann, LLC

Jacksonville, Florida

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Vidacann, LLC., which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, and the related statement of income, changes in members equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vidacann, LLC. as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Vidacann, LLC. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Vidacann, LLC.’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

Members of the American and Florida Institutes of Certified Public Accountants

 

 

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Vidacann, LLC.’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Vidacann, LLC.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year Ended December 31, 2021

 

A.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Nature of Business

 

Vidacann, LLC (the “Company”) d/b/a VidaCann is a limited liability corporation formed on June 13, 2019 and is the successor to Vidacann, Ltd. which was formed on September 5, 2017 and dissolved on June 13, 2019. The Company is licensed in the State of Florida as a Medical Marijuana Treatment Center under Florida Statue 381.986. The Company maintains cultivation facilities located in Jacksonville, FL and a manufacturing complex also located in Jacksonville. The Company operates 24 dispensaries located throughout the state of Florida.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. No such instruments were held at December 31, 2021.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on their estimated value in the process from seed to finished product. Inventories of harvested plants are transferred from cultivation costs at an estimated cost based on the value of distilled oils. As the plants are processed into distilled oils, they are revalued to reflect the value added in the distillation process. A final revaluation is made as the oils are manufactured into the finished product. Unused packaging and hardware are initially valued at cost, less any reserves for obsolescence. All inventories are determined on the first in first out (“FIFO”) method of accounting.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided principally using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

 

 

Years

Leasehold improvements

40

Machinery and equipment

10

Vehicles

10

Furniture and fixtures

5-10

Computer equipment and software

3-10

`

Depreciation expense was $939,945 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and associated accumulated depreciation of assets retired or disposed of are removed from the records and any resulting gain or loss is included in income.

VIDACANN, LLC

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year Ended December 31, 2021

 

A.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

Capitalized Cultivation Costs

 

The Company has adopted FASB ACC 905 “Agricultural Producers and Agricultural Cooperatives”, which prescribes that all direct and indirect costs of growing crops be capitalized and reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” This statement requires that an intangible asset with a definite life be amortized over that life in a pattern that reflects the use or consumption of the asset’s economic benefits. Intangible assets consist primarily of a licensing agreement with a 4-year life. The accumulated amortization for this asset was $1,883,140 at December 31, 2021. Amortization expense was $506,757 in 2021 which is included as a component of cost of goods sold. For those assets that have no definite useful life, however, no amortization is to be recorded until the remaining useful life is no longer indefinite. Intangible assets that are thus not subject to amortization should be analyzed annually to determine if there has been an impairment of the asset’s value, i.e., whether future economic benefits associated with that asset are less than its current recorded value. If necessary, an impairment loss would then be recognized to reduce the asset’s carrying value to its current fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU establishes a uniform 5-step (performance obligations) process to ensure that revenues are recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods and services. The standard also distinguishes the timing of revenues of those transferred at a point in time and those that are transferred over time. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach as allowed under the standard which allows only contracts not completed as of the date of adoption, with no restatement of comparative periods. Management has determined that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 has not significantly altered the way revenue is recognized for the Company.

 

The company generates all its revenue from retail sales of its medical marijuana products in the State of Florida to licensed patients via its retail dispensaries. The performance obligations of these sales are satisfied at a point in time when the customer transfers the transaction price to the Company and the customer receives the product.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

Advertising and promotion costs are charged to operations when incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the total cost of advertising and promotion charged to operations was $794,221.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company reports to its members their proportionate share of its modified cash basis income or loss for each tax year, with the members including that income or loss in their respective income tax returns. The Company itself is not a taxpaying entity for federal or state income tax purposes and accordingly, no income taxes have been recorded in these financial statements. The Company takes certain tax positions which it believes are adhering to the laws established by the taxing authorities taking into consideration IRS Section 280E rules. The Company doesn’t believe it has taken any uncertain tax positions which could subject it to penalties or interest; therefore, none have been accrued in the accompanying financial statements.

In May of 2020, the Company entered into a land lease agreement for its cultivation facility with a member which calls for rent of $300,000 per year, per greenhouse not to exceed $4,000,000 per year. This agreement expires on December 31, 2029 with renewal options for two successive periods of five years each.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

To Management and the Members

Vidacann, LLC

Jacksonville, Florida

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Vidacann, LLC., which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related statement of income, changes in members equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vidacann, LLC. as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Vidacann, LLC. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Vidacann, LLC.’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

Members of the American and Florida Institutes of Certified Public Accountants

 

 

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Vidacann, LLC.’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Vidacann, LLC.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year Ended December 31, 2022

 

A.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Nature of Business

 

Vidacann, LLC (the “Company”) d/b/a VidaCann is a limited liability corporation formed on June 13, 2019 and is the successor to Vidacann, Ltd. which was formed on September 5, 2017 and dissolved on June 13, 2019. The Company is licensed in the State of Florida as a Medical Marijuana Treatment Center under Florida Statue 381.986. The Company maintains cultivation facilities located in Jacksonville, FL and a manufacturing complex also located in Jacksonville. The Company operates 27 dispensaries located throughout the state of Florida.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. No such instruments were held at December 31, 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on their estimated value in the process from seed to finished product. Inventories of harvested plants are transferred from cultivation costs at an estimated cost based on the value of distilled oils. As the plants are processed into distilled oils, they are revalued to reflect the value added in the distillation process. A final revaluation is made as the oils are manufactured into the finished product. Unused packaging and hardware are initially valued at cost, less any reserves for obsolescence. All inventories are determined on the first in first out (“FIFO”) method of accounting.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided principally using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

 

 

Years

Leasehold improvements

40

Machinery and equipment

10

Vehicles

10

Furniture and fixtures

5-10

Computer equipment and software

3-10

`

Depreciation expense was $1,014,637 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and associated accumulated depreciation of assets retired or disposed of are removed from the records and any resulting gain or loss is included in income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year Ended December 31, 2022

 

A.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

Capitalized Cultivation Costs

 

The Company has adopted FASB ACC 905 “Agricultural Producers and Agricultural Cooperatives”, which prescribes that all direct and indirect costs of growing crops be capitalized and reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” This statement requires that an intangible asset with a definite life be amortized over that life in a pattern that reflects the use or consumption of the asset’s economic benefits. Intangible assets consist primarily of a licensing agreement with a 4-year life with a cost of $2,027,027. The accumulated amortization for this asset was $2,027,027 at December 31, 2022. Amortization expense was $190,034 in 2022 which is included as a component of cost of goods sold. For those assets that have no definite useful life, however, no amortization is to be recorded until the remaining useful life is no longer indefinite. Intangible assets that are thus not subject to amortization should be analyzed annually to determine if there has been an impairment of the asset’s value, i.e., whether future economic benefits associated with that asset are less than its current recorded value. If necessary, an impairment loss would then be recognized to reduce the asset’s carrying value to its current fair value.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). This guidance amends existing lease standards requiring lessees to recognize a liability for what were previously defined as operating leases, an off-balance sheet item, on their balance sheets with a corresponding right to use asset. The Company adopted the requirements of the guidance effective January 1, 2022 and has elected to apply the provisions of this standard to the beginning of the period of adoption.  Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period.

 

The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. The discount rate used is the U.S. Treasury par yield curve rate based on the information available at the commencement date for all leases. The right-to-use asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the remeasured lease liability. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize right-to-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU establishes a uniform 5-step (performance obligations) process to ensure that revenues are recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods and services. The standard also distinguishes the timing of revenues of those transferred at a point in time and those that are transferred over time.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year Ended December 31, 2022

 

A.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach as allowed under the standard which allows only contracts not completed as of the date of adoption, with no restatement of comparative periods. Management has determined that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 has not significantly altered the way revenue is recognized for the Company.

 

The company generates all its revenue from retail sales of its medical marijuana products in the State of Florida to licensed patients via its retail dispensaries. The performance obligations of these sales are satisfied at a point in time when the customer transfers the transaction price to the Company and the customer receives the product.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

Advertising and promotion costs are charged to operations when incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the total cost of advertising and promotion charged to operations was $666,371.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company reports to its members their proportionate share of its modified cash basis income or loss for each tax year, with the members including that income or loss in their respective income tax returns. The Company itself is not a taxpaying entity for federal or state income tax purposes and accordingly, no income taxes have been recorded in these financial statements. The Company takes certain tax positions which it believes are adhering to the laws established by the taxing authorities taking into consideration IRS Section 280E rules. The Company doesn’t believe it has taken any uncertain tax positions which could subject it to penalties or interest; therefore, none have been accrued in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Use of Management Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses recognized during the period reported, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 19, 2023, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

B.         Inventory:

 

Inventory at December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

Cultivation facility/land lease

 

In May of 2020, the Company entered into a land lease agreement for its cultivation facility with a member which calls for rent of $300,000 per year, per greenhouse not to exceed $4,000,000 per year. This agreement expires on December 31, 2029 with renewal options for two successive periods of five years each. During 2022, the Company operated 7 greenhouses the minimum rent payments for seven greenhouses are included in the schedule of lease payments at Note E.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

To Management and the Members

Vidacann, LLC

Jacksonville, Florida

 

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

 

We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of Vidacann, LLC., which comprise the balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, and the related statements of operations and members equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the interim financial information).

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Review Results

 

We conducted our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. A review of interim financial information is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, the objective of which is an expression of an opinion regarding the financial information as a whole, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We are required to be independent of Vidacann, LLC. and to meet our ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements related to our review. We believe that the results of the review procedures provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Interim Financial Information

 

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

 

Report on Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in members equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated May 19, 2023. In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet of Vidacann, LLC as of December 31, 2022, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it was derived.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

As discussed in Note L. to the financial statements, the September 30, 2023 financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement. Our review report is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022

and for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

A.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Nature of Business

 

Vidacann, LLC (the “Company”) d/b/a VidaCann is a limited liability corporation formed on June 13, 2019 and is the successor to Vidacann, Ltd. which was formed on September 5, 2017 and dissolved on June 13, 2019. The Company is licensed in the State of Florida as a Medical Marijuana Treatment Center under Florida Statue 381.986. The Company maintains cultivation facilities located in Jacksonville, FL and a manufacturing complex also located in Jacksonville. The Company operates 27 dispensaries located throughout the state of Florida.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. No such instruments were held at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on their estimated value in the process from seed to finished product. Inventories of harvested plants are transferred from cultivation costs at an estimated cost based on the value of distilled oils. As the plants are processed into distilled oils, they are revalued to reflect the value added in the distillation process. A final revaluation is made as the oils are manufactured into the finished product. Unused packaging and hardware are initially valued at cost, less any reserves for obsolescence. All inventories are determined on the first in first out (“FIFO”) method of accounting.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided principally using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

 

 

Years

Leasehold improvements

40

Machinery and equipment

10

Vehicles

10

Furniture and fixtures

5-10

Computer equipment and software

3-10

`

Depreciation expense was $ 300,214 and $279,689 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $874,984 and $756,588 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and associated accumulated depreciation of assets retired or disposed of are removed from the records and any resulting gain or loss is included in income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022

and for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

A.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

Capitalized Cultivation Costs

 

The Company has adopted FASB ACC 905 “Agricultural Producers and Agricultural Cooperatives”, which prescribes that all direct and indirect costs of growing crops be capitalized and reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” This statement requires that an intangible asset with a definite life be amortized over that life in a pattern that reflects the use or consumption of the asset’s economic benefits. Intangible assets consist primarily of a licensing agreement with a 4-year life with a cost of $2,027,027. The accumulated amortization for this asset was $2,027,027 at December 31, 2022. Amortization expense was $190,034 in 2022 which is included as a component of cost of goods sold. For those assets that have no definite useful life, however, no amortization is to be recorded until the remaining useful life is no longer indefinite. Intangible assets that are thus not subject to amortization should be analyzed annually to determine if there has been an impairment of the asset’s value, i.e., whether future economic benefits associated with that asset are less than its current recorded value. If necessary, an impairment loss would then be recognized to reduce the asset’s carrying value to its current fair value.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). This guidance amends existing lease standards requiring lessees to recognize a liability for what were previously defined as operating leases, an off-balance sheet item, on their balance sheets with a corresponding right to use asset. The Company adopted the requirements of the guidance effective January 1, 2022 and has elected to apply the provisions of this standard to the beginning of the period of adoption.  Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period.

 

The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. The discount rate used is the U.S. Treasury par yield curve rate based on the information available at the commencement date for all leases. The right-to-use asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the remeasured lease liability. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize right-to-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU establishes a uniform 5-step (performance obligations) process to ensure that revenues are recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods and services. The standard also distinguishes the timing of revenues of those transferred at a point in time and those that are transferred over time.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022

and for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

A.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach as allowed under the standard which allows only contracts not completed as of the date of adoption, with no restatement of comparative periods. Management has determined that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 has not significantly altered the way revenue is recognized for the Company. The company generates all its revenue from retail sales of its medical marijuana products in the State of Florida to licensed patients via its retail dispensaries. The performance obligations of these sales are satisfied at a point in time when the customer transfers the transaction price to the Company and the customer receives the product.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

Advertising and promotion costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising and promotion expense were $69,425 and $194,764 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $344,057 and $541,081 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company reports to its members their proportionate share of its modified cash basis income or loss for each tax year, with the members including that income or loss in their respective income tax returns. The Company itself is not a taxpaying entity for federal or state income tax purposes and accordingly, no income taxes have been recorded in these financial statements. The Company takes certain tax positions which it believes are adhering to the laws established by the taxing authorities taking into consideration IRS Section 280E rules. The Company doesn’t believe it has taken any uncertain tax positions which could subject it to penalties or interest; therefore, none have been accrued in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Use of Management Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses recognized during the period reported, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the Independent Auditor's Report, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

B.         Inventory:

 

Inventory at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following:
