We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predict,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions; uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels or activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Our expectations are as of the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed to confirm these statements to actual results, unless required by law.

 

 ii 
 

 

You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

 

  Our ability to effectively execute our business plans including transitioning from being focused on end-to-end consumer product innovation, development, and commercialization to being focused on digital media, advertising and content technologies innovation, development, and commercialization;
  Our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses;
  Our ability to protect our brands, reputation and intellectual property rights;
  Our ability to obtain adequate financing to support our development plans;
  Our ability to repay our debts;
  Our ability to rely on third-party suppliers, content contributors, developers, and other business partners;
  Our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics;
  Our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry;
  Our ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and consumer behavior;
  Our dependence on information technology, and being subject to potential cyberattacks, security problems, network disruptions, and other incidents;
  Our ability to comply with complex and evolving laws and regulations including those relating to privacy, data use and data protection, content, competition, safety and consumer protection, e-commerce, digital assets and other matters, many of which are subject to change and uncertain interpretation;
  Our ability to enhance disclosure and financial reporting controls and procedures and remedy the existing weakness;
  Risks in connection with completed or potential acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic growth opportunities and initiatives;
  Taxes;
  The stability of the governments and political and business conditions in certain foreign countries in which we or certain of our business partners may operate now or in the future;
  Costs and results of potential litigation;
  Changes in accounting standards or inaccurate estimates or assumptions in the application of accounting policies; and
  The use of social or digital media to disseminate false, misleading and/or unreliable or inaccurate information regarding our products, services or the industry in which we operate.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness, though we do generally believe the data to be reliable. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the possibility that we may fail to preserve our expertise in consumer product development; that existing and potential distribution partners may opt to work with, or favor the products of, competitors if our competitors offer more favorable products or pricing terms; that we may be unable to maintain or grow sources of revenue; that we may be unable maintain profitability; that we may be unable to attract and retain key personnel; or that we may not be able to effectively manage, or to increase, our relationships with customers; that we may have unexpected increases in costs and expenses. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

Note 1 — Description of Business

 

MJ Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: MJNE) is a highly-diversified cannabis holding company providing cultivation management, asset and infrastructure development – currently concentrated in the Las Vegas market. It is the Company’s intention to grow its business and provide a 360-degree spectrum of infrastructure, including, cannabis cultivation, production of cannabis related products, management services, dispensaries and consulting services. The Company intends to grow its business through joint ventures with existing companies possessing complementary subject matter expertise, acquisition of existing companies and through the development of new opportunities. The Company intends to “prove the concept” profitably in the rapidly expanding Las Vegas market and then use that anticipated success as a template for replicating the concept in other developing states through a combination of strategic partnerships, acquisitions and opening new operations.

 

The Company was incorporated on November 17, 2006, as Securitas EDGAR Filings, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada. Prior to the formation of Securitas EDGAR Filings Inc., the business was operated as Xpedient EDGAR Filings, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company, formed on October 31, 2005. On November 21, 2005, Xpedient EDGAR Filings LLC amended its Articles of Organization to change its name to Securitas EDGAR Filings, LLC. On January 21, 2009, Securitas EDGAR Filings LLC merged into Securitas EDGAR Filings, Inc., a Nevada corporation. On February 14, 2014, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation and changed its name to MJ Holdings, Inc.

 

On November 22, 2016, in connection with a plan to divest the Company of its real estate business, the Company submitted to its stockholders an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) its common stock for shares in MJ Real Estate Partners, LLC, (“MJRE”) a newly formed LLC formed for the sole purpose of effecting the Exchange Offer. On January 10, 2017, the Company accepted for exchange 1,800,000 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for 1,800,000 shares of MJRE’s common units, representing membership interests in MJRE. Effective February 1, 2017, the Company transferred its ownership interests in the real estate properties and its subsidiaries, through which the Company held ownership of the real estate properties, to MJRE. MJRE also assumed the senior notes and any and all obligations associated with the real estate properties and business, effective February 1, 2017.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2023. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and updated, as necessary, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, MJH Research, Inc., Icon Management, LLC, Condo Highrise Management, LLC, Prescott Management, LLC, Q Brands, LLC, Farm Road, LLC, Red Earth Holdings, LLC and its majority owned subsidiary, Alternative Hospitality, Inc. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions are required in the determination of the fair value of financial instruments and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Cash

 

Cash includes cash on hand and deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts.

 

The Company, at various times throughout the year, had cash in financial institutions in excess of Federally insured limits. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $0 in excess. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its credit balances.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

 

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.

 

Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in these situations.

 

Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. The FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, as necessary, based on past experience and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating bad debts. Such factors include growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for doubtful accounts to accounts receivable and current economic conditions. The determination of the collectability of amounts due from customer accounts requires the Company to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowances for doubtful accounts are determined based on assessing the Company’s portfolio on an individual customer and on an overall basis. This process consists of a review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and the financial condition of the Company’s customers. Based on a review of these factors, the Company establishes or adjusts the allowance for specific customers and the accounts receivable portfolio as a whole.

 

   September 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Accounts receivable  $65,292   $10,149 
Less allowance   -    - 
Net accounts receivable  $65,292   $10,149 

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Costs associated with obtaining, closing, and modifying loans and/or debt instruments are netted against the carrying amount of the debt instrument, and charged to interest expense over the term of the loan.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process such as pre-harvested cannabis plants and by-products to be extracted. The costs of growing cannabis, including but not limited to labor, utilities, nutrition and supplies, are capitalized into inventory until the time of harvest. All direct and indirect costs related to inventory are capitalized when incurred, and subsequently classified to cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Work-in-process is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using the weighted average cost. Raw materials and finished goods inventory are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of accounting. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell. The Company periodically reviews physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserves. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written down to net realizable value. Packaging and supplies are initially valued at cost. The reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based on expected future use. The reserve estimates have historically been consistent with actual experience as evidenced by actual sale or disposal of the goods.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated; maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Construction in progress primarily represents the construction or the renovation costs stated at cost less any accumulated impairment loss, which is not depreciated. Costs incurred are capitalized and transferred to property and equipment upon completion, at which time depreciation commences.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Buildings  12 years
Land  Not depreciated
Construction in progress  Not depreciated
Leasehold Improvements  Lessor of lease term or 5 years
Machinery and Equipment  5 years
Furniture and Fixtures  5 years

 

Long–lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including real estate property and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair value.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. The Company recorded an impairment of its long-lived assets in the amount of $0 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Contract Balances

 

The Company receives payments for new Cultivation and Sales Agreements (the “Agreements”) upon signing and defers revenue recognition for these payments until certain milestones are met as per the terms of the Agreements. These payments represent contract liabilities and are recorded as such on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s contract liabilities were as follows:

 

 

   September 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
MKC Development Group, LLC (i)  $-   $620,000 
Natural Green, LLC (ii)   -    520,000 
Green Grow Investments Corporation   50,000    50,000 
RK Grow, LLC   170,000    170,000 
Property and equipment, net  $220,000   $1,360,000 

 

  (i) On May 24, 2023 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with MKC Development Group, LLC (“MKC”) that terminated all of their rights, obligations, and responsibilities under the Agreement. As part of the settlement the Company agreed to refund $310,000 to MKC within one year of the date of the settlement agreement therefore the contract liability of $620,000 was written off the books, the refund amount of $310,000 was recorded in accounts payable, and the Company recorded $310,000 as miscellaneous income.
     
  (ii) On June 26, 2023 the Company entered into a termination agreement with Natural Green, LLC which terminated the original Cultivation and Sales Agreement and released each other of any liabilities, claims, or obligations under the Agreement. As a result, the Company wrote off the $520,000 contract liability and recorded miscellaneous income.

 

Non- Controlling Interest

 

The Company’s non-controlling interest represents the minority shareholder’s ownership interest related to the Company’s subsidiary, Alternative Hospitality, Inc. The Company reports its non-controlling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reports both net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest and net loss attributable to the Company’s common shareholders on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s equity interest in Alternative Hospitality, Inc. is 51% and the non-controlling stockholder’s interest is 49%. This is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Equity.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method. There was no impact upon adoption of ASC 606 on our consolidated financial statements. The new revenue standard was applied prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from January 1, 2018 forward and reported financial information for historical comparable periods will not be revised and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during those historical periods.

 

Generally, the Company considers all revenues as arising from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized based on the five-step process outlined in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606:

 

Step 1 – Identify the Contract with the Customer – A contract exists when (a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, (b) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred, (c) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred, (d) the contract has commercial substance and it is probably that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

 

Step 2 – Identify Performance Obligations in the Contract – Upon execution of a contract, the Company identifies as performance obligations each promise to transfer to the customer either (a) goods or services that are distinct, or (b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, the Company must apply judgement to determine whether the goods or services are capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Step 3 – Determine the Transaction Price – When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company shall recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation. The contract terms are used to determine the transaction price. Generally, all contracts include fixed consideration. If a contract did include variable consideration, the Company would determine the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price based on expected value method. Variable consideration would be included in the transaction price, if in the Company’s judgement, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract would not occur.

 

Step 4 – Allocate the Transaction Price – After the transaction price has been determined, the next step is to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract. If the contract only has one performance obligation, the entire transaction price will be applied to that obligation. If the contract has multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling price (SSP) at contract inception.

 

Step 5 – Satisfaction of the Performance Obligations (and Recognize Revenue) – Revenue is recognized when (or as) goods or services are transferred to a customer. The Company satisfies each of its performance obligations by transferring control of the promised good or service underlying that performance obligation to the customer. Control is the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from an asset. It includes the ability to prevent other entities from directing the use of and obtaining the benefits from an asset. Indicators that control has passed to the customer include: a present obligation to pay; physical possession of the asset; legal title; risks and rewards of ownership; and acceptance of the asset(s). Performance obligations can be satisfied at a point in time or overtime.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the majority of the Company’s revenue was derived from its Management Agreement with MJ Distributing, Inc. with the remainder from rental revenue from its Tiny Homes community. Rental revenue for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the leased space is available for use by the lessee.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s revenue was derived from the following sources:

 

   2023   2022 
   For the nine months ended 
   September 30, 
   2023   2022 
Revenues:        
Rental income (i)  $64,599   $111,987 
Management income (ii)   118,616    661,475 
Total  $183,215   $773,462 

 

  (i) The rental income is from the Company’s THC Park.
     
  (ii) On February 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Management Agreement of Cannabis Production and Cultivation (the “Agreement”) with MJ Distributing, Inc. (the “Owner”) (together, the “Parties”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties desire that the Company manage and operate the daily business of the Owner located in Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada. In consideration of the services to be performed by the Company, the Company and the Owner shall split the Net Profits of the business on a 50:50 basis. The Agreement was approved by the Cannabis Compliance Board at its July 26, 2022 meeting.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s share-based payment awards principally consist of grants of common stock. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, stock-based payment awards are classified as either equity or liabilities. For equity-classified awards, the Company measures compensation cost based on the grant date fair value and recognizes compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service or performance period the award is expected to vest. The fair value of liability-classified awards is at each reporting date through the settlement date. Change in fair value during the requisite service period will be remeasured as compensation cost over that period.

 

The Company utilizes its historical stock price to determine the volatility of any stock-based compensation.

 

The expected dividend yield is 0% as the Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate it will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant date with a term equal to the expected term of the stock-based award.

 

For stock-based financial instruments issued to parties other than employees, the Company uses the contractual term of the financial instruments as the expected term of the stock-based financial instruments.

 

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based financial instruments represent its best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and it uses different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019. The new leasing standard requires recognition of leases on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. A number of the lease agreements contain options to renew and options to terminate the leases early. The lease term used to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities only includes renewal and termination options that are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised.

 

The Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing operating leases longer than twelve months. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances of accrued and prepaid rent, and unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors. Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all property leases for the purposes of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurred as a component of income tax expense. The Company has not recognized any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 — Going Concern

 

The Company has recurring net losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $20,820,178 as of September 30, 2023. The Company had negative cash flows from operations of $807,469 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s current capital resources include cash. Historically, the Company has financed its operations principally through equity and debt financing.

Note 4 — Acquisition of MJH Research, Inc.

 

On July 8, 2022, MJ Holdings, Inc. (the “Buyer”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with MJH Research, Inc. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, and Sunstate Futures, LLC (the “Seller”), a Florida limited liability company. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Seller agreed to sale all issued and outstanding shares of common stock (100,000 shares) (the “Common Stock”) of the Company to the Buyer. In consideration of the purchase of the shares of Common Stock, the Buyer agreed to issue the Seller seven million (7,000,000) shares of its common stock. The acquisition is a provisional estimate and is being further evaluated. The transaction closed on July 11, 2022.

 

Details regarding the book values and fair values of the net assets acquired are as follows:

 

   Book Value   Fair Value   Difference 
             
Cash  $504,685   $504,685   $- 
Total  $504,685   $504,685   $       - 

 

Goodwill and Intangibles

 

Goodwill is recorded when the cost of acquired businesses exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Intangible assets other than goodwill are recorded at fair value at the time acquired or at cost, if applicable. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized in line with the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. If the pattern of economic benefit cannot be reliably determined, the intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the legal or estimated life. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment in the fourth quarter using the same dates each year or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicate potential impairment.

 

In performing the annual impairment test, the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset is compared to its carrying value and an impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. For goodwill, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its’ carrying amount, and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative test is required only if the Company concludes that it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its’ carrying amount. For quantitative testing, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its’ carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

 

Fair values are determined using established business valuation techniques and models developed by the Company, estimates of market participant assumptions of future cash flows, future growth rates and discount rates to value estimated cash flows. Changes in economic and operating conditions, actual growth below the assumed market participant assumptions or an increase in the discount rate could result in an impairment charge in a future period.

Note 4 — Acquisition of MJH Research, Inc. (continued)

 

Acquisitions

 

Upon acquisition of a business, the Company uses the income, market or cost approach (or a combination thereof) for the valuation as appropriate. The valuation inputs in these models and analyses are based on market participant assumptions. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

Fair value estimates are based on a series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. Management values property, plant and equipment using the cost approach supported where available by observable market data, which includes consideration of obsolescence. Management values acquired intangible assets using the relief from royalty method or excess earnings method, forms of the income approach supported by observable market data for peer companies. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the acquired intangible assets include discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of future cash flows (such as revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, and royalty rates). Acquired inventories are marked to fair value for valuation of the total purchase price. For certain items, the carrying value is determined to be a reasonable approximation of fair value based on information available to the Company.

 

Assets acquired  As of July 11, 2022 
     
Cash  $504,685 
Goodwill (i)   1,451,815 
Total purchase price  $1,956,500 

 

(i) Goodwill is recorded when the cost of acquired businesses exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.

 

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period from July 11, 2022 through September 30, 2023 were as follows:

 

      
Balance as of July 11, 2022  $1,451,815 
Additions and adjustments   (1,451,815)
Balance as of September 30, 2023  $- 

 

Note 5 — Property and Equipment

 

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

 

   September 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Leasehold Improvements  $264,523   $264,523

Note 6 — Intangible Assets

 

In October 2016, Red Earth, LLC (“Red Earth”), a Nevada limited liability company, entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with the owner of a provisional Medical Marijuana Establishment Registration Certificate (the “Provisional Grow License”) issued by the state of Nevada for the cultivation of medical marijuana for $300,000. To initiate the purchase and transfer the Provisional Grow License, the Company paid a $25,000 deposit to the seller in October 2016.

 

The Provisional Grow License remains in a provisional status until the Company has completed the buildout of a cultivation facility and obtained approval from the state of Nevada to begin cultivation in the approved facility. Once approval from the state of Nevada is received, the Company begins the cultivation process.

 

On December 15, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Red Earth for 52,732,969 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 and a Promissory Note in the amount of $900,000. Red Earth became a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) of the Company.

 

On or about May 7, 2021, the Subsidiary, received an inquiry from the State of Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (“CCB”) regarding the transfer of ownership of the Subsidiary from its previous owners to the Company. The CCB has determined that the transfer was not formally approved, thus a Category II violation.

 

On July 27, 2021, the Subsidiary entered into a Stipulation and Order for Settlement of Disciplinary Action (the “Stipulation Order”) with the CCB. Under the terms of the Stipulation Order, the Subsidiary has agreed to present to the CCB, by not later than August 31, 2021, a plan pursuant to which the ownership of the Subsidiary will be returned to the original owners. The Parties to the Stipulation Order resolved the matter without the necessity of taking formal action. The Subsidiary agreed to pay a civil penalty of $10,000, which was paid on July 29, 2021.

 

On August 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement for Technical Services and Short-Term Funding (the “Agreement”) with Red Earth, LLC (hereinafter, “Red Earth”), an entity controlled by its Chief Cultivation Officer, Paris Balaouras. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will provide a short-term loan (the “Loan”) to Red Earth for expenses related to the activation and operation of Red Earth’s cultivation license. The Loan shall bear interest at 12% per annum and increase to 18% upon default. In addition, the Company shall provide Red Earth pre-opening technical services at a cost of $5,000 to $10,000 per month. As of September 30, 2023, the amount due the Company under the short-term loan is $304,197 and the amount of technical services income (other income) recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $30,000.

 

On August 26, 2021, the Company and the Company’s Chief Cultivation Officer and previous owner of the Subsidiary, Paris Balaouras, entered into a Termination Agreement. Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated December 15, 2017, entered into between the Company and the Subsidiary was terminated as of the date of the Termination Agreement resulting in the return of ownership of the Subsidiary to Mr. Balaouras. Neither party shall have any further obligation to one another pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Please see Note 14 — Related Party Transactions for further information.

 

On September 2, 2021, the Company received approval of the Termination Agreement from the CCB.

 

Note 7 — Deposits

 

Deposits as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consist of the following:

 

   September 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
MJ Distributing, Inc. (i)  $1,250,000   $1,010,000

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. In addition to the estimated loss, the liability includes probable and estimable legal cost associated with the claim or potential claim. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company business.

Tierney Arbitration

 

On March 9, 2021, Terrence Tierney (“Claimant”), the Company’s former President and Secretary, who was terminated by the Company for Cause on August 7, 2020, filed for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association for: (i) breach of contract, (i) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (iii) NRS 608 wage claim. Mr. Tierney demanded payment in the amount of $501,085 for unpaid base pay and unpaid deferred business compensation (which was not earned nor due), expenses paid on behalf of the Company, accrued vacation and severance pay. On April 7, 2021, the Company made payment of unpaid base pay against the wage claim in the amount of $62,392, inclusive of $59,583 for wages and $2,854 for accrued vacation plus $8,307.60 for statutory penalties. As such, the Company posits that any compensation claims that Claimant may have had have been paid in full and that the Company otherwise has no liability. The Company filed a counterclaim in the action declaring that Tierney breached the contract of employment, committed fraud, malfeasance and other nefarious acts causing substantial damage to the Company with estimated monetary damages well in excess of any monetary claim made by Tierney. On May 4, 2022, the Arbitrator issued a ruling concluding that the Arbitrator did not have jurisdiction over Claimant’s statutory wage claim under NRS 608. On September 19, 2022, Claimant filed a complaint in state court seeking compensation under NRS 608.020. The Company asserts that the 2-year statute of limitations bars Claimant’s complaint, and further asserts that Claimant has been paid in full pursuant to the payments issued to Claimant on April 7, 2021. The arbitration proceeded to trial on January 9-12, 2023 and the Arbitrator issued her award on March 7, 2023, awarding Claimant $401,361 in damages, offset by $350,000 awarded to the Company for its counter-claims, with a net damage award to Claimant in the sum of $51,361. On May 19, 2023, Tierney filed his Motion to Confirm Award in the Eighth Judicial District Court. Because the Company did not object to the Arbitrator’s Award, no opposition was filed. On June 5, 2023, Tierney filed his Motion to Partially Vacate Award alleging that the Arbitrator’s Award in favor of the Company was a prohibited award of “lost profits.” The Company filed its Opposition on July 31, 2023 and Tierney filed his Reply on August 9, 2023. A hearing took place on August 17, 2023 and the Court issued its ruling in favor of Tierney on September 8, 2023. The Company filed its Motion for Reconsideration on September 14, 2023 which was denied by the Court on October 12, 2023. The Company filed its Notice of Appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court on these two orders on October 9, 2023 and October 23, 2023, respectively. On October 3, 2023, Tierney filed his Verified Memorandum of Costs in the sum of $21,005, which was opposed by the Company on October 6, 2023. On October 3, 2023, Tierney filed his Motion for Attorney’s Fees and Costs seeking an award of fees in the sum of $227,878 and costs in the sum of $21,005, which was opposed by the Company on October 17, 2023 and which has been set for hearing on November 17, 2023. On October 16, 2023, Tierney filed his Writ of Execution and served garnishments related to the same. As of October 24, 2023 no amounts have been paid to Tierney.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there are 58,272,167 and 78,591,667 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Board is authorized, without further approval from our stockholders, to create one or more series of preferred stock, and to designate the rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions, and limitations of any given series of preferred stock. Accordingly, the Board may, without stockholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends payable to holders of our Common Stock, diluting the voting power of our Common Stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our Common Stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of us, all without further action by our stockholders. Of the 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized in our Articles of Incorporation, 2,500 shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the stated value of each share of Series A Preferred Stock (currently, $1,000) by the conversion price (currently, $0.75). The stated value and the conversion price are subject to adjustment as provided for in the Certificate of Designation. We are prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates and any persons acting as a group with holder or any of such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion. A holder, upon notice to us, may increase or decrease this beneficial ownership limitation; provided, that, in no event can the holder increase the beneficial ownership limitation in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock then held by holder. Such increase of the beneficial ownership limitation cannot be effective until the 61st day after such notice is given to us and shall apply only to such holder. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights; however, as long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, we are not permitted, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences, or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, (ii) amend our Articles of Incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders, (iii) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the forgoing.

Note 12 — Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if warrants were exercised and were not anti-dilutive.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, basic and diluted loss per common share were the same since there were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the respective periods. The outstanding options and warrants as of September 30, 2023, to purchase 1,500,000 and 250,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the calculations of diluted loss per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, basic and diluted income per common share were based on 72,265,083 shares.

Company Overview

 

MJ Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: MJNE) is a highly-diversified cannabis holding company providing cultivation management, asset and infrastructure development – currently concentrated in the Las Vegas market. It is the Company’s intention to grow its business and provide a 360-degree spectrum of infrastructure, including, cannabis cultivation, production of cannabis related products, management services, dispensaries and consulting services. The Company intends to grow its business through joint ventures with existing companies possessing complementary subject matter expertise, acquisition of existing companies and through the development of new opportunities. The Company intends to “prove the concept” profitably in the rapidly expanding Las Vegas market and then use that anticipated success as a template for replicating the concept in other developing states through a combination of strategic partnerships, acquisitions and opening new operations.

 

Current Initiatives include:

 

  260 acres of farmland for the purpose of cultivating additional marijuana (the “260 Acres”) purchased in January of 2019. The Company intends to utilize the state-of-the-art Cravo® cultivation system for growing an additional five acres of marijuana on this property. The Cravo® system will allow multiple harvests per year and should result in higher annual yields per acre. The land has more than 180-acre feet of permitted water rights, which will provide more than sufficient water to markedly increase the Company’s marijuana cultivation capabilities. This facility, upon receipt of its business license in Nye County and its final inspection by the Cannabis Compliance Board (“CCB”), is expected to become operational in the summer of 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company elected to relocate all of its equipment utilized on the Acres lease to its 260 Acres adjacent to the Acres lease. The Company will utilize the 260 Acres for its own harvest along with additional harvests under any Cultivation and Sales Agreements
     
  Cultivation and Sales Agreements entered into for multiple grows on the Company’s 260-acre farm located in the Amargosa Valley of Nevada. During the 4th quarter of 2021 and 1st quarter of 2021, the Company entered into separate Cultivation and Sales Agreements, whereby the Company shall retain certain independent growers to provide oversight and management of the Company’s cultivation and sale of products at its 260-acre farm. The independent growers shall pay to the Company a royalty of net sales revenue with a minimum royalty after two years. As of the date of this filing, the Company is waiting on its business license in Nye County and its final inspection by the Cannabis Compliance Board before it can commence its operations under the Agreement.

  a nearby commercial trailer and RV park (THC Park – Tiny Home Community) was purchased in April of 2019 to supply necessary housing for the Company’s farm employees. After the Company’s 2018 harvest, it came to realize that it would need to find a more efficient method of housing and to bring its cultivation team to its facilities. The Company purchased the 50-acre plus THC Park for $600,000 in cash and $50,000 of the Company’s restricted common stock. At present, the Company’s construction and completion of this community is approximately seventy-five percent complete. The impact of COVID-19 in obtaining inspections and permitting significantly delayed the completion of this community. The Company has elected to cease any renovations or additions at its Tiny Home Community but will continue to rent out those units that have been leased.

  (i) The Cultivation and Sales Agreement entered into by and between MJNE and Acres, dated as of January 1, 2019 (the “Cultivation and Sales Agreement” or “CSA”), pursuant to Sections 5.3, and 16.20 (cross-default);

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, our operating expenses were $441,280 compared to $2,825,685 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in a decrease of $2,384,405. The decrease was largely attributable to decreases in general and administrative costs (due to the Company decreasing their salary expense and professional fees and limiting its business development activities) from the prior year.

Other Income (Expense)

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, our other income (expense) was $1,083,116 compared to 110,262 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in an increase in other income of $972,854. The increase was largely attributable to miscellaneous income of $336,223 and gain on extinguishment of debt of $769,684 recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $665,172 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of ($2,002,567) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is largely attributable to the Company’s decrease in general and administrative expense and increase in other income during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

 

Revenues

 

The Company’s revenue was $183,215 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $773,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was largely attributable to the revenue recognized through its Management Agreement, as further discussed below.

 

Revenue, by class, is as follows:

 

   For the nine months ended 
   September 30, 
   2023   2022 
Revenues:          
Rental income (i)  $64,599   $111,987 
Management income (ii)   118,616    661,475 
Total  $183,215   $773,462 

 

  (i) The rental income is from the Company’s THC Park.
     
  (ii) On February 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Management Agreement of Cannabis Production and Cultivation (the “Agreement”) with MJ Distributing, Inc. (the “Owner”) (together, the “Parties”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties desire that the Company manage and operate the daily business of the Owner located in Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada. In consideration of the services to be performed by the Company, the Company and the Owner shall split the Net Profits of the business on a 50:50 basis. The Agreement was approved by the Cannabis Compliance Board at its July 26, 2022 meeting.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our operating expenses were $1,582,696 compared to $4,255,331 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in a decrease of $2,672,635. The decrease was largely attributable to a decrease in general and administrative costs over time (due to the Company decreasing their salary expense and limiting its business development activities), offset by an increase in professional fees (due to the Company hiring consultants and outside advisors to assist the Company with its compliance with laws and regulations and address their legal issues).

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our other income (expense) was $2,432,173 compared to $141,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in an increase in other income of $2,290,473. The increase was largely attributable to miscellaneous income of $1,361,652 and gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,134,684 recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $1,032,692 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of ($3,340,169) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is largely attributable to the Company’s decrease in general and administrative expenses and increase in other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

We do not consider our business to be seasonal.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Due to resource constraints, material weaknesses are evident to management regarding our inability to generate all the necessary disclosure for inclusion in our filings with the Securities and Exchanges Commission, which is due to the lack of resources and segregation of duties. We lack sufficient personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in GAAP to meet the demands for a public company, including the accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of GAAP-based reporting. This weakness causes us to not fully identify and resolve accounting and disclosure issues that could lead to a failure to perform timely internal control and reviews. In addition, the Company has not established an audit committee, does not have any independent outside directors on the Company’s Board of Directors, and lacks documentation of its internal control processes.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change to our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during the period ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, our Board is currently seeking to improve our controls and procedures to remediate the deficiency described above.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. I addition to the estimated loss, the liability includes probable and estimable legal cost associated with the claim or potential claim. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company business.

 

MJ Holdings, Inc. Complaint

 

On December 14, 2021, MJ Holdings, Inc. (the “Plaintiff”) (the “Company”) filed a Complaint against NCMM, LLC, AP Management, LLC and Valerie Small (collectively, the “Defendants”) (together, the “Parties”). In the Complaint, the Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants have refused to return the cannabis that was being stored for Plaintiff under a Storage and Purchase Agreement entered into with AP Management. By failing to return the cannabis to Plaintiff, or Plaintiff’s designee, the Defendants have deprived Plaintiff of the ability to sell, transfer or market the product. In addition, the Defendants have sought to unlawfully extort the Plaintiff for illicit payments of thousands of dollars in money and/or cannabis in exchange for returning the cannabis. On March 31, 2023, the Parties entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby NCMM, LLC and Valerie Smalls shall (i) contact the CCB within 7 days of execution of the Settlement Agreement for authorization to transfer the approximately 1800 pounds of fresh frozen to MJ Distributing, both the passing and failed fresh frozen; and (ii) NCMM shall pay the Company a total of $60,000 as a Settlement Amount. The Settlement Amount shall be paid as $5,000 per month. In the event the Settlement Amount monthly payment is not paid by the fifth of every month, NCMM shall pay a late payment penalty fee of $100 per day.

 

Gappy and Shaba Compliant

 

On December 3, 2021, a Complaint was filed against MJ Holdings, Inc., HDGLV, LLC, Red Earth, LLC (collectively, the “Defendants”) by Ziad Gappy and David Shaba (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”). In the Complaint, the Plaintiffs allege the Defendants made misleading statements and/or omissions relating to the Company in the Plaintiffs’ negotiation to purchase shares of MJ Holdings, Inc. In addition, the Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants have not honored the 2018 Agreements negotiated between the Plaintiffs and Defendants, MJ Holdings, Inc. has failed to issue an additional $125,000 in stock due to the Plaintiffs as was agreed to in writing and the Defendants have failed to start the Western Project. The case is ongoing. Defendants have denied all allegations. Discovery closed in July of 2023 and a trial is set for February 4, 2024.

 

DGMD Complaint

 

On March 19, 2021, a Complaint was filed against the Company, Jim Mueller, John Mueller, MachNV, LLC, Acres Cultivation, Paris Balaouras, Dimitri Deslis, ATG Holdings, LLC and Curaleaf, Inc. (collectively, the “Defendants”) by DGMD Real Estate Investments, LLC, ARMPRO, LLC, Zhang Springs LV, LLC, Prodigy Holdings, LLC and Green Organics, LLC (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada.

 

In the Complaint, the Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants: (i) intended to fraudulently obtain money from the Plaintiffs in order to put that money towards the Acres dispensary and to make Acres look more appealing to potential buyers as well as pay off Defendants’ agents, and (ii) the Defendants acted together in order to find investors to invest money into the Acres and MJ Holdings “Investment Schemes”, and (iii) the Defendants intended to fraudulently obtain Plaintiffs’ money for the purpose of harming the Plaintiffs to benefit the Defendants, and (iv) the Defendants committed unlawful fraudulent misrepresentation in the furtherance of the agreement to defraud the Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs allege that damages are in excess of $15,000.

 

Discovery has concluded and the parties were unable to resolve the case through settlement negotiations. Paris Balaouras and MJ Holdings filed a motion for summary judgment against all Defendants. The Court granted the Motion as to Plaintiffs DGMD Real Estate Investments, LLC, Armpro, LLC and Zhang Springs LV, LLC. The Court denied the motion as to Prodigy Holdings LLC and Las Vegas Green Organics. The Case went to trial on May 15, 2023 and the parties reached a resolution through mediation after the trial started. The trial was vacated and the matter is still in the process of finalization through the court.

Tierney Arbitration

 

On March 9, 2021, Terrence Tierney (“Claimant”), the Company’s former President and Secretary, who was terminated by the Company for Cause on August 7, 2020, filed for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association for: (i) breach of contract, (i) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (iii) NRS 608 wage claim. Mr. Tierney demanded payment in the amount of $501,085 for unpaid base pay and unpaid deferred business compensation (which was not earned nor due), expenses paid on behalf of the Company, accrued vacation and severance pay. On April 7, 2021, the Company made payment of unpaid base pay against the wage claim in the amount of $62,392, inclusive of $59,583 for wages and $2,854 for accrued vacation plus $8,307.60 for statutory penalties. As such, the Company posits that any compensation claims that Claimant may have had have been paid in full and that the Company otherwise has no liability. The Company filed a counterclaim in the action declaring that Tierney breached the contract of employment, committed fraud, malfeasance and other nefarious acts causing substantial damage to the Company with estimated monetary damages well in excess of any monetary claim made by Tierney. On May 4, 2022, the Arbitrator issued a ruling concluding that the Arbitrator did not have jurisdiction over Claimant’s statutory wage claim under NRS 608. On September 19, 2022, Claimant filed a complaint in state court seeking compensation under NRS 608.020. The Company asserts that the 2-year statute of limitations bars Claimant’s complaint, and further asserts that Claimant has been paid in full pursuant to the payments issued to Claimant on April 7, 2021. The arbitration proceeded to trial on January 9-12, 2023 and the Arbitrator issued her award on March 7, 2023, awarding Claimant $401,361 in damages, offset by $350,000 awarded to the Company for its counter-claims, with a net damage award to Claimant in the sum of $51,361. On May 19, 2023, Tierney filed his Motion to Confirm Award in the Eighth Judicial District Court. Because the Company did not object to the Arbitrator’s Award, no opposition was filed. On June 5, 2023, Tierney filed his Motion to Partially Vacate Award alleging that the Arbitrator’s Award in favor of the Company was a prohibited award of “lost profits.” The Company filed its Opposition on July 31, 2023 and Tierney filed his Reply on August 9, 2023. A hearing took place on August 17, 2023 and the Court issued its ruling in favor of Tierney on September 8, 2023. The Company filed its Motion for Reconsideration on September 14, 2023 which was denied by the Court on October 12, 2023. The Company filed its Notice of Appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court on these two orders on October 9, 2023 and October 23, 2023, respectively. On October 3, 2023, Tierney filed his Verified Memorandum of Costs in the sum of $21,005.28, which was opposed by the Company on October 6, 2023. On October 3, 2023, Tierney filed his Motion for Attorneys Fees and Costs seeking an award of fees in the sum of $227,878 and costs in the sum of $21,005, which was opposed by the Company on October 17, 2023 and which has been set for hearing on November 17, 2023. On October 16, 2023, Tierney filed his Writ of Execution and served garnishments related to the same. As of October 24, 2023 no amounts have been paid to Tierney.
