cbdMD, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

cbdMD, Inc. (“cbdMD”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a North Carolina corporation formed on March 17, 2015 as Level Beauty Group, Inc. In November 2016 we changed the name of the Company to Level Brands, Inc. and on May 1, 2019 we changed the name of our Company to cbdMD, Inc. We operate from our offices located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our fiscal year end is established as September 30.

 

On December 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, and its newly organized wholly owned subsidiaries AcqCo, LLC and cbdMD LLC (“CBDI”), completed a two-step merger (the “Mergers”) with Cure Based Development, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Cure Based Development”). Upon completion of the Mergers, CBDI survived and operates the prior business of Cure Based Development. As consideration for the Mergers in April of 2019, the Company issued 338,889 shares of our common stock to the members of Cure Based Development, of which unrestricted voting rights to 194,445 of the shares vest over a five-year period of which 48,612 shares remain subject to a voting proxy agreement as of December 31, 2022, as well as to issue another 338,889 shares of our common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) in the future upon certain earnout goals (the “Earnout Rights”) being achieved within five years from the closing of the Mergers, of which up to 87,307 remain subject to issuance by the Company.

 

The Company owns and operates the nationally recognized CBD (cannabidiol) brands cbdMD, Paw CBD and cbdMD Botanicals. The Company sources cannabinoids, including CBD, which are extracted from non-GMO hemp grown on farms in the United States. CBD is a natural substance produced from the hemp plant. The products manufactured by and for the Company comply with the 2018 Farm Bill - our full spectrum products contain trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") under the 0.3% by dry weight limit in the 2018 Farm Act while our broad spectrum products are non-psychoactive as they do not contain detectable levels of THC.

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2019 cbdMD launched its new CBD pet brand, Paw CBD. Following the initial positive response to the brand from retailers and consumers, cbdMD, Inc. organized Paw CBD, Inc. (“Paw CBD”) as a separate wholly owned subsidiary on October 22, 2019, to take advantage of its early mover status in the CBD animal health industry. On March 15, 2021 cbdMD formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, cbdMD Therapeutics, LLC (“Therapeutics”) for the purposes of isolating and quantifying the Company’s ongoing investments in science related to its existing and future products, including research and development activities for therapeutic applications.  In July 2021, the Company acquired the assets of Twenty Two Capital, LLC (“Twenty Two”) d/b/a directcbdonline.com (“DCO”). This business operates a CBD marketplace through directcbdonline.com.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of cbdMD have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 2022 10-K/A. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2022 as reported in the 2022 10-K have been omitted.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On April 12, 2023, the board effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-forty-five, effective as of April 24, 2023. Unless otherwise indicated, all share numbers in this filing, including shares of common stock and all securities convertible into, or exercisable for, shares of common stock, give effect to the reverse stock split.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries CBDI, Paw CBD and Therapeutics. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, expected sales returns and allowances, certain assumptions related to the valuation of investments other securities, acquired intangibles and long-lived assets and the recoverability of intangible and long-lived assets and income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities, contingent liability and, hence consideration for the Mergers is a material estimate. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

The Company continues to monitor macroeconomic conditions to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve its business as appropriate.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For financial statements purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

12

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts, if applicable. Credit is extended to customers after an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally collateral is not required as a condition of credit extension. Management’s determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an evaluation of the receivables, past experience, current economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the receivables portfolio. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $23,343 and $36,980, respectively.

 

Merchant Receivable and Reserve

 

The Company primarily sells its products through the internet and has an arrangement to process customer payments with third-party payment processors and negotiate the fee based on the market. The arrangement with the payment processors requires that the Company pay a fee between 2.6% and 5.0% of the transaction amounts processed. Pursuant to this agreement, there can be a waiting period between 2 to 5 days prior to reimbursement to the Company, as well as a calculated reserve which some payment processors hold back. Fees and reserves can change periodically with notice from the processors. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the receivable from payment processors included approximately $530,560 and $273,451, respectively, for the waiting period amount and is recorded as accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on a weighted average basis. The cost of inventory includes product cost, freight-in, and production fill and labor (portions of which we outsource to third party manufacturers). Write-offs of potentially slow moving or damaged inventory are recorded based on management’s analysis of inventory levels, forecasted future sales volume and pricing and through specific identification of obsolete or damaged products. We assess inventory quarterly for slow moving products and potential impairments and at a minimum perform a physical inventory count annually near fiscal year end.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment items are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Generally, the useful lives are five years for manufacturing equipment and automobiles and three years for software, computer, and furniture and equipment. The useful life for leasehold improvements are over the term of the lease, or the remaining economic life of the asset, whichever is shorter. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property are eliminated from the accounts upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations for the applicable period. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstance indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Fair Value Accounting

 

The Company utilizes accounting standards for fair value, which include the definition of fair value, the framework for measuring fair value, and disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, fair value accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

 

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, observable market activity. In instances where the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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.

 

When the Company records an investment in marketable securities the carrying value is assigned at fair value. Any changes in fair value for marketable securities during a given period will be recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. For investment other securities without a readily determinable fair value, the Company may elect to estimate its fair value at cost less impairment plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.

 

13

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of definite-lived trademarks and other intellectual property. The Company accounts for its trademarks in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company began amortizing its trademarks over 20 years beginning January 1, 2022 and will perform impairment tests as prescribed by ASC 360, which states that impairment testing should be completed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. If there are indications that the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable, there are two further steps involved in long-lived asset impairment testing. Step I of the impairment test, as per ASC 360, involves estimating the Recoverable Amount of the Asset Group and determining the potential for impairment. Step II of the impairment test, as per ASC 360, if necessary, involves quantifying the fair value of the asset group. 

 

Contingent Liability

 

A significant component of the purchase price consideration for the Company’s acquisition of Cure Based Development includes a fixed number of future shares to be issued as well as a variable number of future shares to be issued based upon the post-acquisition entity reaching certain specified future revenue targets, as further described in Note 6. The Company made a determination of the fair value of the contingent liabilities as part of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

 

14

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company meets that obligation when it has shipped products which have been ordered to the customer. The Company has reviewed its various revenue streams for its other contracts under the five-step approach. At June 30, 2023, the Company has no unfulfilled performance obligations.

 

Allocation of Transaction Price

 

In the Company’s current business model, it does not have contracts with customers which have multiple elements as revenue is driven purely by online product sales or purchase order-based product sales.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue from the sale of its products when its customer obtains control, which is upon shipping (and is typically FOB shipping) which is when our performance obligation is met. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions. These incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive. The Company currently offers a 60-day, money back guarantee, a loyalty program as well as a subscription program.

 

Disaggregated Revenue

 

The Company’s product revenue is generated primarily through two sales channels, E-commerce sales (formerly referred to as consumer sales) and wholesale sales. The Company believes that these categories appropriately reflect how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are impacted by economic factors.

 

A description of the Company’s principal revenue generating activities are as follows:

 

 

-

E-commerce sales - consumer products sold through the Company’s online and telephonic channels. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due prior to the date of shipment; and

  

 

 

-

Wholesale sales - products sold to the Company’s wholesale customers for subsequent resale. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Payment terms vary and can typically be 30 days from the date control over the product is transferred to the customer.

 

Contract liabilities represent unearned revenues and are presented as deferred revenue or customer deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Other than account receivable, Company has no material contract assets nor contract liabilities at June 30, 2023.

Cost of Sales 

 

The Company’s cost of sales includes costs associated with distribution, fill and labor expense, components, third-party providers, and outbound freight for the Company’s products sales, and includes labor for its service sales. For the Company’s product sales, cost of sales also includes the cost of refurbishing products returned by customers that will be offered for resale, if any, and the cost of inventory write-downs associated with adjustments of held inventories to their net realizable value. These expenses are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations when the product is sold and net sales revenues are recognized or, in the case of inventory write-downs, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories is in excess of their net realizable value.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a North Carolina corporation that is treated as a corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. As of October 1, 2019, CBDI and Paw CBD were wholly owned subsidiaries and are disregarded entities for tax purposes and their entire share of taxable income or loss is included in the tax return of the Company and as of March 15, 2021, Therapeutics is also a wholly owned subsidiary and is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and its entire share of taxable income or loss is included in the tax return of the Company.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Accounting for Income Taxes topic of ASC 740 which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company uses the inside basis approach to determine deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with its investment in a consolidated pass-through entity. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

 

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and securities.

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. The Company had a $2.0 million uninsured balance at June 30, 2023 and a $5.8 million uninsured balance at September 30, 2022.

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables is principally limited to trade receivables with corporate customers that meet specific credit policies. Management considers these customer receivables to represent normal business risk. The Company did not have any customers that represented a significant amount of our sales for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock compensation under the ASC 718-10-30, Compensation - Stock Compensation using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options and warrants. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods. The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.

 

16

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company uses ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share for calculating the basic and diluted income (loss) per share. The Company computes basic income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, after deducting preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

On February 16, 2023, we held an annual meeting of stockholders. At the annual meeting, our stockholders approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock by a ratio of between one-for-twenty to one-for-fifty, inclusive, with the exact ratio to be set at the discretion of our board of directors, at any time after approval of the amendment and prior to February 16, 2024. On April 12, 2023, the board effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-forty-five, effective as of April 24, 2023 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). Unless otherwise indicated, all share numbers in this report, including shares of common stock and all securities convertible into, or exercisable for, shares of common stock, give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company experienced a loss of $1,770,403 and $7,063,270 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in a reduction of net working capital of $5,019,581.

 

Management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date hereof.  We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand should be sufficient to fund operations through the end of the fiscal year if not longer. However, depending upon our operating results and cash burn, we may be required to raise additional capital to fund operations or scale back our operations or dividends. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue our efforts to increase sales, develop additional products, seek acquisitions and mergers, continue research and development, reduce operating expenses and attempt to achieve profitability. Furthermore, in the event we identify an acquisition candidate, such acquisition may require immediate capital to close such acquisition. These factors, individually and collectively, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through an issuance of debt or equity securities or otherwise.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

None.

 

 

NOTE 2 MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT OTHER SECURITIES

 

The Company has, from time to time, entered into contracts where a portion of the consideration provided by the counterparty in exchange for the Company’s services was common stock, options or warrants (an equity position). In these situations, upon invoicing the customer for the stock or other instruments, the Company recorded the receivable as accounts receivable other, and used the value of the stock or other instrument upon invoicing to determine the value. In determining fair value of marketable securities and investment other securities, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. The Company determines the fair value of marketable securities and investment other securities based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company recorded $0 and $(33,350) respectively, of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable and other securities, including impairments.

 

In September 2020, the Company purchased a membership interest in Adara Sponsor LLC for $250,000, which along with proceeds from other investors was utilized as an investment in Adara Acquisition Corporation (“Adara”), a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (a “SPAC”). On  January 13, 2021, the Company executed second tranche subscriptions agreements and funded the remaining $750,000. On June 22, 2022, the Company executed a transfer agreement with affiliates of Adara Sponsor, LLC whereby the Company's interest would be transferred to the affiliates of Adara Sponsor, LLC upon Adara's acquisition of Allliance Entertainment, Inc. (the "Target") in consideration of the Company's original purchase price. As a result of the SEC litigation against our former CEO, the Target provided a demand to Adara that it required cbdMD and Mr. Sumichrast to dispose of our interests in Adara Sponsor, LLC as a condition of proceeding with any business combination. In December 2022, Adara filed its definitive proxy to approve the acquisition and query shareholders redemption. Effective February 10, 2023, the Company completed the Membership Interest Transfer Agreement with Blystone & Donaldson, LLC, and Mr. Thomas Finke (collectively, the “Transferees”) dated June 22, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company sold its entire ownership interest in Adara Sponsor, LLC, to the Transferees for the total purchase price of $1,000,000 which constitutes the Company’s original purchase price of the interest.

 

On April 7, 2022, CBD Industries, LLC entered into an asset sale agreement to sell substantially all its manufacturing assets to a subsidiary of Steady State, LLC ("Steady State"). The equipment sale is initially valued at approximately $1.8 million for accounting purposes, the sale price consisting of products to be provided to the Company under the manufacturing and supply agreement and $1.4 million of which the Company invested into Steady State in the form of an equity investment consistent with the terms of Steady State's recently completed series C financing. The Company has classified this investment as Level 3 for fair value measurement purposes as there are no observable inputs and has included in non-current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company holds this investment for longer than a year.

 

17

 

In valuing both investments, the Company used the value paid, which was the price offered to all third-party investors.

NOTE 5 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill

 

The Company had goodwill at March 31, 2022 of $42,772,685. The Company impaired goodwill in subsequent reporting periods of fiscal 2022 and goodwill was fully impaired by September 30, 2022.

 

Intangible Assets

 

On December 20, 2018, the Company completed the Mergers with Cure Based Development and acquired certain assets, including the trademark “cbdMD” and its variants and certain other intellectual property. The trademark is the cornerstone of this subsidiary and is key as the Company creates and distributes products and continue to build this brand. The Company believed the trademark did not have limits on the time it would contribute to the generation of cash flows and therefore identified these as indefinite lived intangible assets.

 

In July 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of DCO and acquired certain assets, including the trade name, domains and certain other intellectual property. The tradename will be used in marketing and branding of the website. The Company believes the trade name has a 10 year life. In addition to the trade name, DCO has a technology platform used to market to its customer and the Company believes it has a 4 year life.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company re-assessed the “cbdMD” and “HempMD” trademarks and determined that the trademarks should be classified as definite lived intangible assets with useful lives of 20 years versus indefinite lived intangible assets. The Company used a variety of factors in determining the reclassifications and have made the reclassifications following guidance prescribed by ASC 350, which states that when a reporting entity subsequently determines that in indefinite-lived intangible asset has a finite useful life, the reporting entity should test the asset for impairment as an indefinite lived asset prior to commencing amortization. As of December 31, 2021, the Company prepared a tradename impairment analysis in accordance with ASC 350 and determined that the “cbdMD” trademark was impaired by $4,285,000. The Company has recorded this impairment charge as a reduction in the carrying value of the intangible assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets with the corresponding impairment expense recorded on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company began amortizing the trademarks over their useful lives of 20 years as of January 2022.

 

Intangible assets as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 consisted of the following:

NOTE 6 CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

 

As consideration for the Mergers, described in Note 1, the Company had a contractual obligation to issue 338,889 shares of its common stock, after approval by its shareholders, to the members of Cure Based Development, issued in two tranches 144,445 shares and 194,945 shares, both of which are subject to leak out provisions, and the unrestricted voting rights to 194,445 tranche of shares vest over a five year period and are subject to a voting proxy agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that an additional 338,889 Earnout Shares can be issued upon the satisfaction of certain aggregate net revenue criteria by cbdMD within 60 months following the Closing Date.

 

The contractual obligations and earn out provision are accounted for as a contingent liability and fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, as estimating the fair value of these contingent liabilities require the use of significant and subjective inputs that may and are likely to change over the duration of the liabilities with related changes in internal and external market factors.

 

The initial two tranches totaling 338,889 shares were valued using a market approach method and included the use of the following inputs: share price upon contractual obligation, discount for lack of marketability to address leak out restrictions, and probability of shareholder disapproval. In addition, the 194,445 shares in the second tranche also included an input for a discount for lack of voting rights during the vest periods.

 

The Merger Agreement also provides that an additional 338,889 Earnout Shares would be issued as part of the consideration for the Mergers, upon the satisfaction of certain aggregate net revenue criteria by cbdMD within 60 months following the Closing Date as follows, as measured at four intervals (each a “marking period”): the completion of 12, 24, 42, and 59 calendar months from the Closing Date, and based upon the ratios set forth below:

 

Aggregate Net Revenues

 

Shares Issued/ Each $ of Aggregate Net Revenue Ratio

 
    

$1 - $20,000,000

 0.00423615 

$20,000,001 - $60,000,000

 0.002118075 

$60,000,001 - $140,000,000

 0.001059038 

$140,000,001 - $300,000,000

 0.000529519 

    

For clarification purposes, the Aggregate Net Revenues during a Marking Period shall be multiplied by the applicable Shares Issued/Each $ of Aggregate Net Revenue Ratio, minus, the number of shares issued as a result of Aggregate Net Revenues during the prior marking periods.

 

The third marking period was originally an 18 month period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on June 30, 2022 (the “Third Marking Period End Date”), after which time the determination of the issuance of any remaining Earnout Shares would be made pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. On March 31, 2021 the Company entered into Addendum No. 1 to the Merger Agreement (“Addendum No. 1”) with the holders of the remaining Earnout Rights which amended the measurement periods within the third marking period to change the determination of the aggregate net revenues within the third marking period to a quarterly basis for each of the six fiscal quarters within the third marking period, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2021, instead of following Third Marking Period End Date. This change in the measurement date, however, has no effect on the number of remaining Earnout Shares issuable under the Earnout Rights and no effect on the earnout targets; Addendum No. 1 simply changes the physical issuance date(s) of the remaining Earnout Shares, if in fact, such shares are earned pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Addendum No. 1 did not change any of the terms of the fourth marking period (as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement). This change did not impact the fair value of the contingent liability. The value of the contingent liability was $122,230 and $276,000 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 respectively.

 

The fourth marketing period began on July 1, 2022 and ends in November 2023.  At June 30, 2023, up to 87,307 remaining Earnout Shares are subject to issuance by the Company.  Based on the remaining share ratios, the Company would have to generate over $162 million in revenue during the fourth marking period to issue the full balance of the shares.

As part of the Twenty Two acquisition in July 2021, the Company had a contractual obligation to issue up to an additional 4,445 shares of its common stock as additional consideration, dependent upon the acquisition entity meeting future revenue targets. Under US GAAP the Company is required to record a non-cash contingent liability associated with the Twenty Two Earnout Shares and at the date of the acquisition, recorded a total contingent liability of $488,561. Under US GAAP the Company is obligated to reassess the obligations associated with the Twenty Two Earnout Shares on a quarterly basis and, in the event its estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration changes, the Company will record increases or decreases in the fair value as an adjustment to earnings. In particular, changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock, which is one of the inputs used in determining the amount of the non-cash contingent liability, will result in increases or decreases in this liability and positively or negatively impact the Company’s net loss or profit for the period. At September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a decrease in value of the contingent liability of $73,561 related to a decrease in the market price of our common stock, which adjusted the total contingent liability related to the Twenty Two Earnout Shares to $416,000. At December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a decrease in value of the contingent liability of $255,000 related to a decrease in the market price of our common stock, which adjusted the total contingent liability related to the Twenty Two Earnout Shares to $161,000.  At June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a decrease in value of the contingent liability of $13,000 related to a decrease in the market price of our common stock, which adjusted the total contingent liability related to the Twenty Two Earnout Shares to $0. As of September 2022 the measurement period ended and there is no further obligation with respect to this earnout. 

 

In December 2022, the Company entered into a contractual obligation to issue up to 556 options and 556 RSUs to an employee.  The shares are subject to meeting a minimum direct to consumer revenue of $45 million for any four consecutive quarters before December 31, 2024.  Based on the present revenue run rate, the Company has valued these obligations at $0 for June 30, 2023.

 

 

NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As mentioned in Note 6, a counterparty in the earnout arrangement is a related party.

NOTE 9 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

Equity Compensation Plan – On June 2, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (“2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan initially made 26,112 common stock shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of options, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of October each calendar year during the term of the 2015 Plan, beginning with calendar year 2016, by an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day in September of the immediately preceding fiscal year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 2,223 shares of common stock. On April 19, 2019, shareholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan and increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan to 45,445 and retained the annual evergreen increase provision of the plan.

 

On January 8, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2021 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and it was subsequently approved by its shareholders at its annual meeting held on March 12, 2021. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by providing an incentive to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and competent persons who are important to it and upon whose efforts and judgment the success of the Company is largely dependent. The 2021 Plan made 111,112 common shares, either unissued or reacquired by the Company, available for awards of options, restricted stocks, other stock grants, or any combination thereof. The 2021 Plan also contains an “evergreen formula” pursuant to which the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on October 1 of each calendar year during the term of the 2021 Plan, beginning with calendar year 2022, by an amount equal to 1.0% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on September 30 of such calendar year, up to a maximum of 5,556 shares.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 codification requires companies to recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation expense in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the options. All options are approved by the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. Restricted stock awards that vest in accordance with service conditions are amortized over their applicable vesting period using the straight-line method. The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards or modifications is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

Eligible recipients include employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company. Options granted generally have a five-to-ten-year term and have vesting terms that cover one to three years from the date of grant. Certain stock options granted under the plan have been granted pursuant to various stock option agreements. Each stock option agreement contains specific terms.

 

Stock Options:

 

The Company currently has awards outstanding with service conditions and graded-vesting features. We recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The fair value of each time-based award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Our weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for equity awards with time-based vesting provisions granted during the year.
