GENERAL CANNABIS CORP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, HISTORY, AND PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

General Cannabis Corp, a Colorado Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,”) (formerly, Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc.), was incorporated on June 3, 2013, and provides services and products to the regulated cannabis industry. We currently trade on the OTCQB® Market under the trading symbol CANN. As of March 31, 2022, our operations are segregated into the following segments:

Retail (“Retail Segment”)

Through our acquisition of TDM, LLC (“TREES Englewood”) in September 2021, our acquisition of Trees Portland, LLC, Trees Waterfront, LLC in December 2021 and our acquisition of Trees MLK, LLC in January 2022, we operate a retail dispensary store in Englewood, Colorado and three retail stores in Portland, Oregon. The Trees MLK location, located in Portland, Oregon, is currently not in operation. This location should be operational in the second quarter of 2022.

Cultivation (“Cultivation Segment”)

Through our acquisition of SevenFive Farm ("SevenFive") in May 2020, we operate a 17,000 square foot licensed light deprivation greenhouse cultivation facility.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 45% and 18% of SevenFive’s revenue was with one customer, respectively.

Discontinued Operations - Operations Consulting and Products (“Operations Segment”)

Through Next Big Crop (“NBC”), we delivered comprehensive consulting services to the cannabis industry that included obtaining licenses, compliance, cultivation, retail operations, logistical support, facility design and construction, and expansion of existing operations.

NBC oversaw our wholesale equipment and supply business, operating under the name “GC Supply,” which provided turnkey sourcing and stocking services to cultivation, retail, and infused products manufacturing facilities. Our products included building materials, equipment, consumables, and compliance packaging. NBC also provided operational support for our internal cultivation. On July 16, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual to sell substantially all the assets of NBC for a total of $150,000 and 10% of profits generated by the buyer in the states of Michigan, Mississippi, and Massachusetts for a period of twelve months from the closing. On August 2, 2021, the sale of NBC was completed. Pursuant to amendment, the buyer paid the additional $75,000 in March 2022, and the 10% profit share described above was eliminated.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") can be condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2021, was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated

Table of Contents

financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, which were included in the annual report on Form 10-K filed by the Company on March 25, 2022.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position and operating results. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 2022, or any other interim or future periods. Since the date of the Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, when testing assets for impairment in future periods, if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur, impairment charges may result. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact the Company's business and markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition, including revenues, expenses, reserves and allowances, fair value measurements and asset impairment charges, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity in our markets and elsewhere, governmental actions to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to the reduction in global economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Discontinued Operations

On July 16, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual to sell substantially all of the assets of NBC for a total of $150,000 and 10% of profits generated by the buyer in the states of Michigan, Mississippi, and Massachusetts for a period of twelve months from the closing. On August 2, 2021, the sale of NBC was completed. Pursuant to amendment, the buyer paid the additional $75,000 in March 2022, and the 10% profit share described above was eliminated.

On January 1, 2021, we discontinued our investments segment. As this is not a materially significant segment, we have not shown the effects of the discontinued segment in the financial statements.

The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Going Concern

We incurred net losses of $861,056 and $2,359,068 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $84,681,871 as of March 31, 2022. We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,651,063 and $2,054,050 as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and have primarily funded our

Table of Contents

operations with proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt. We expect our operating losses to continue into the foreseeable future as we continue to execute our acquisition and growth strategy.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the receipt of an additional $1.2 million of cash in September 2021 from the issuance of preferred stock and the acquisition of three dispensaries (See Note 2 for further information). We may need additional funding to support our planned investing activities. If we are unable to obtain additional funding, we would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of our acquisition efforts, which could adversely affect our growth plans.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FASB ASU 2020-06 – “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”- In June 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, although early adoption is permitted. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2022. This ASU did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2019-12 – “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” – In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies certain aspects of accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2021. This ASU did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On September 2, 2021, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of TREES Englewood, representing a portion of the overall Trees transaction (“Trees Transaction”) previously disclosed pursuant to that certain First Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation dated May 28, 2021, by and among the Company, seller and certain other sellers party thereto, that consists of the assets relating to the Trees dispensary located in Englewood, Colorado (“Englewood Closing”).

10% Notes

In December 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement’) with certain accredited investors (the “10% Investors”), pursuant to which we issued and sold senior convertible promissory notes (the “10% Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $2,940,000 in exchange for payment to us by certain 10% Investors of an aggregate amount of $1,940,000 in cash, as well as cancellation of outstanding indebtedness of the 15% Notes (defined below) in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000. In connection with the issuance of the 10% Notes, the holders of the 10% Notes received warrants (the “10% Warrants”) to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 20% coverage of the aggregate principal amount at $0.56 per share. In the aggregate, this equals 1,050,011 shares of our common stock. The 10% Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10% and will mature on December 23, 2023. The 10% Investors have the option at any time to convert up to 50% of the outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest of the

Table of Contents

10% Notes into Common Stock at a variable price of 80% of the market price but no less than $0.65 per share and no more than $1.00 per share. The 10% Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.56 per warrant.

The relative fair value of the new funding on the 10% Warrants was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in capital of $254,400. The relative fair value of the cancellation of the outstanding indebtedness was recorded as an extinguishment of debt and additional paid-in capital of $131,000. We recorded amortization of debt discount expense from the 10% Notes of $21,393 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We determined there was no beneficial conversion feature on the 10% Notes issued in December 2020. The 10% Notes are treated as conventional debt.

For purposes of determining the debt discount, the underlying assumptions used in the binomial lattice model to determine the fair value of the 10% Warrants as of December 23, 2020, were:


Current stock price	$	0.53
Exercise price	$	0.56
Risk-free interest rate		0.38 %
Expected dividend yield		—
Expected term (in years)		5.0
Expected volatility		115%

On February 8, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited 10% Investor, pursuant to which we issued and sold 10% Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,660,000 to such 10% Investor. The 10% Notes are part of an over-allotment option exercised by us in connection with the convertible note offering consummated on December 23, 2020, as discussed above. In connection with the issuance of the 10% Notes, the holder received warrants to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 20% coverage of the aggregate principal amount at $0.56 per share. In the aggregate, this equals 592,858 shares of our common stock with a par value $0.001 per share. The 10% Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10% and will mature on February 8, 2024. The 10% Investor has the option to convert up to 50% of the outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest of the 10% Notes into Common Stock at a variable price of 80% of the market price but no less than $0.65 per share and no more than $1.00 per share. The 10% Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.56 per warrant.

The relative fair value of the new funding on the 10% Warrants was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in capital of $429,300. We determined that this 10% Note had a beneficial conversion feature and is calculated at its intrinsic value (that is, the difference between the effective conversion price of $0.66 at the date of the note issuance and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible at the commitment date, per share being $0.90, multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible). The valuation of the beneficial conversion feature recorded cannot be greater than the face value of the note issued. We recorded $417,539 as additional paid in capital and a debt discount and included in our consolidated statement of operations. We recorded amortization of debt discount expense from the 10% Notes issued in February 2021 of $69,603 and $28,531 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The 10% Notes are treated as conventional debt.

For purposes of determining the debt discount, the underlying assumptions used in the binomial lattice model to determine the fair value of the 10% Warrants as of February 8, 2021, were:


Current stock price	$	1.12
Exercise price	$	0.56
Risk-free interest rate		0.48 %

On April 20, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with accredited 10% Investors, pursuant to which we issued and sold 10% Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,300,000 to such 10% Investors. The 10% Notes

Table of Contents

are part of an over-allotment approved by the existing noteholders in connection with the original convertible note offering of $4,600,000 consummated on December 23, 2020, and February 8, 2021. In connection with the issuance of the 10% Notes, each holder received warrants to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 20% coverage of the aggregate principal amount at $0.56 per share, except that the warrants coverage to one Investor acting as lead investor in the raise received approximately 35.5% of the aggregate principal amount invested. The 10% Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10% and will mature on April 20, 2024. The 10% Investors have the option to convert up to 50% of the outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest of the 10% Notes into Common Stock at a variable price of 80% of the market price but no less than $0.65 per share and no more than $1.00 per share. The 10% Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.56 per warrant.

The relative fair value of the new funding on the 10% Warrants was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in capital of $810,000. We determined that these 10% Notes had a beneficial conversion feature and is calculated at its intrinsic value (that is, the difference between the effective conversion price of $0.49 at the date of the note issuance and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible at the commitment date, per share being $0.83, multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible). The valuation of the beneficial conversion feature recorded cannot be greater than the face value of the note issued. We recorded $692,500 as additional paid in capital and a debt discount and included in our consolidated statement of operations. We recorded amortization of debt discount expense from the 10% Notes issued in April 2021 of $123,285 and nil for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The 10% Notes are treated as conventional debt.

For purposes of determining the debt discount, the underlying assumptions used in the binomial lattice model to determine the fair value of the 10% Warrants as of April 20, 2021, were:

NOTE 8. WARRANT DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

On May 31, 2019, we received gross proceeds of $3 million by issuing three million shares of our common stock and three million warrants (“2019 Warrants”) to purchase shares of our common stock (“2019 Units”) in a registered direct offering for $1.00 per 2019 Unit (collectively defined as the “2019 Capital Raise”). The 2019 Warrants, issued with the 2019 Capital Raise, are accounted for as a derivative liability. The 2019 Warrant agreements contain a cash settlement provision whereby the holders could settle the warrants for cash based on the Black-Scholes value, upon certain fundamental transactions, as defined in the 2019 Warrant agreement, which are considered outside of the control of management, such as a change of control. The original exercise price of the 2019 Warrants was $1.30 per share. The 2019 Warrants contain certain anti-dilution adjustment provisions with respect to subsequent issuances of securities by the Company at a price below the exercise price of such warrants. As a result of such subsequent issuances of securities by the Company during the fourth quarter 2019, the exercise price of the 2019 Warrants decreased to $0.45 per share and the number of shares subject to the 2019 Warrants increased to 8,666,666 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2019. In May 2020, we issued securities at a price lower than the $0.45 per share above. As a result, the exercise price of the 2019 Warrants decreased to $0.3983 per share and the number of shares subject to the 2019 Warrants increased to 9,591,614 shares of common stock.

During the first quarter of 2021 the warrant holders exercised 1,323,000 warrants into 747,208 shares of our common stock through cashless exercise. We booked an adjustment to the derivative liability of $1,523,117 as a result. As of March 31, 2022, there were 322,807 of the 2019 Warrants outstanding.
