CompanyOverview

 

Weare a holding company, whose subsidiaries provide infrastructure, consulting, and construction services, in addition to holding,and managing third-party state issued cultivation and production licenses.

 

Wewere originally incorporated on November 17, 2006, as Securitas EDGAR Filings, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada. Priorto the formation of Securitas EDGAR Filings Inc., the business was operated as Xpedient EDGAR Filings, LLC, a Florida LimitedLiability Company, formed on October 31, 2005. On November 21, 2005, Xpedient EDGAR Filings LLC amended its Articles of Organizationto change its name to Securitas EDGAR Filings, LLC. On January 21, 2009, Securitas EDGAR Filings LLC merged into Securitas EDGARFilings, Inc., a Nevada corporation. On February 14, 2014, we amended and restated our Articles of Incorporation and changed ourname to MJ Holdings, Inc.

 

FromFebruary 2014 to January 2017, we owned and leased real estate properties zoned for legalized marijuana operations to licensedmarijuana operators.

 

OnNovember 22, 2016, in connection with a plan to divest ourselves of our real estate business, we submitted to our stockholdersan offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) our 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 forexchange 1,800,000 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for 1,800,000 shares of MJRE’s common units, representing membershipinterests in MJRE. Effective February 1, 2017, we transferred our ownership interests in the real estate properties and our subsidiaries,through which we hold ownership of the real estate properties, to MJRE. MJRE also assumed the senior notes and any and all obligationsassociated with the real estate properties and business, effective February 1, 2017.

 

ReverseMerger

 

OnDecember 15, 2017, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Red Earth LLC, a Nevada limited liabilitycompany (“Red Earth”) established in October 2016, in exchange for 52,732,969 shares of our Common Stock and a promissorynote in the amount of $900,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby Red Earth was considered the accountingacquirer and became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the now-former members of Red Earthbecame the beneficial owners of approximately 88% of our Common Stock, obtained controlling interest of the Company, and retainedcertain of our key management positions. In accordance with the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger” or a “reverseacquisition,” our historical financial statements prior to the reverse merger will be replaced with the historical financialstatements of Red Earth prior to the reverse merger in all future filings with the SEC. The consolidated financial statementsafter completion of the reverse merger includes the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the combined company fromand after the closing date of the reverse merger, with only certain aspects of pre-consummation stockholders’ equity remainingin the consolidated financial statements.

OurBusiness

 

Throughour acquisition of Red Earth and their wholly owned subsidiary, HDGLV, LLC (“HDGLV”) we expect to commence legal marijuanacultivation activities in the fourth quarter of 2018 upon approval by the Nevada Department of Taxation of the transfer of a ProvisionalCultivation License to Red Earth, which occurred in April 2018, and the required state and city approvals for our cultivationfacility. It is our intention to grow our business through the acquisition of existing companies and/or through the developmentof new opportunities that can provide a 360-degree spectrum of infrastructure (dispensaries), cultivation and production management,and consulting services in the regulated cannabis industry.

 

ThroughRed Earth, we hold a provisional State of Nevada issued cannabis cultivation license, and through HDGLV, we hold a triple-netleasehold, with an option to buy, on a 17,298 square-foot building, which we expect will be home to our cultivation facility.

 

MarijuanaIndustry Overview

 

Marijuanacultivation refers to the planting, tending, improving and harvesting of the flowering plant Cannabis, primarily for the productionand consumption of cannabis flowers, often referred to as “buds”. The cultivation techniques for marijuana cultivationdiffer than for other purposes such as hemp production. Generally, references to marijuana cultivation and production do not includehemp production.

 

Cannabisbelongs to the genus Cannabis in the family Cannabaceae and for the purposes of production and consumption, includes three species,C. sativa (“Sativa”), C. indica (“Indica”), and C. ruderalis (“Ruderalis”). Sativa and Indicagenerally grow tall with some varieties reaching approximately 4 meters. The female plants produce flowers rich in tetrahydrocannabinol(“THC”). Ruderalis is a short plant and produces trace amounts of THC but is very rich in cannabidiol (“CBD”),which is an antagonist (inhibits the physiological action) to THC.

 

Asof September 2018, there are a total of 31 states, plus the District of Columbia, with legislation passed as it relatesto medicinal cannabis. These state laws are in direct conflict with the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act (21U.S.C. § 811) (“CSA”), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis isclassified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse, has no currently-accepted use formedical treatment in the U.S., and lacks acceptable safety for use under medical supervision.

 

Asof September 2018, 31 states, plus the District of Columbia, have adopted laws that exempt patients who use medicinal cannabisunder a physician’s supervision from state criminal penalties. These are collectively referred to as the states that havede-criminalized medicinal cannabis, although there is a subtle difference between de-criminalization and legalization, and eachstate’s laws are different. Additionally, nine states and the District of Columbia now allow for recreational use of marijuana.

 

Decriminalizationof marijuana varies by state. As of September 2018, 13 states have decriminalized the non-medical use and possession of marijuanafor personal consumption. Decriminalization generally means that violators of local marijuana laws may be subject to civil penaltyrather than face criminal prosecution. In three states, Idaho, South Dakota, and Kansas, the cultivation, possession or use ofmarijuana is strictly prohibited and violators may be subject to criminal prosecution.

 

Forexample, Nevada legalized marijuana for recreational use, effective July 1, 2017, making it legal for adults over the age of 21to use marijuana and to possess up to one ounce of marijuana flowers and one-eighth of an ounce of marijuana concentrates. Individualsare also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, businesses can legally, pursuant to stateregulations, cultivate, process, dispense, distribute, and test marijuana products under certain conditions.

 

Thedichotomy between federal and state laws has limited the access to banking and other financial services by marijuana businesses.Recently the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the U.S. Department of Treasury issued guidance for banksconsidering conducting business with marijuana dispensaries in states where those businesses are legal, pursuant to which banksmust now file a Marijuana Limited Suspicious Activity Report that states the marijuana business is following the government’sguidelines with regard to revenue that is generated exclusively from legal sales. However, since the same guidance noted thatbanks could still face prosecution if they provide financial services to marijuana businesses, it has led to the widespread refusalof the banking industry to offer banking services to marijuana businesses operating within state and local laws.

TheDOJ has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amountsof marijuana for use on private property but has relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In theevent the DOJ reverses its stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medicalmarijuana and recreational marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenueand profits.

 

Furthermore, H.R. 83, known as the Rohrabacher-Blumenaueramendment, is a rider to the annual appropriations bill that prohibits the DOJ from using federal funds to prevent certain states,including Nevada and California, from implementing their own laws that authorized the use, distribution, possession, or cultivationof medical marijuana. This prohibition was in place until September 30, 2018 and has not been renewed.

 

Weare monitoring the Trump administration’s, the DOJ’s, and Congress’ positions on federal marijuana law and policy.Based on public statements and reports, we understand that certain aspects of those laws and policies are currently under review,but no official changes have been announced. It is possible that certain changes to existing laws or policies could have a negativeeffect on our business and results of operations.

 

Wecurrently operate medical marijuana businesses in Nevada. Although the possession, cultivation, and distribution of marijuana ispermitted in Nevada, provided compliance with applicable state and local laws, rules, and regulations, marijuana is illegal underfederal law. We believe we operate our business in compliance with applicable state laws and regulations. Any changes in federal,state, or local law enforcement regarding marijuana may affect our ability to operate our business. Strict enforcement of federallaw regarding marijuana would likely result in the inability to proceed with our business plans, could expose us to potentialcriminal liability, and could subject our properties to civil forfeiture. Any changes in banking, insurance, or other businessservices may also affect our ability to operate our business.

 

RedEarth / HDGLV

 

Primarily,Red Earth’s assets consist of (i) a cultivation license to grow marijuana within the City of Las Vegas in theState of Nevada and (ii) all of the outstanding membership interests in HDGLV, which holds a triple net leasehold interest ina 17,298 square-foot building located at 2310 Western Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada, which we expect to operate as an indoor marijuanacultivation and an agritourism destination. We expect to complete construction of this facility in the fourth quarter of 2018.This facility is intended to serve as a draw for tourists who desire to visit, see, and learn about the inner-workings of a cannabiscultivation facility.

 

InApril 2018, the State of Nevada finalized and approved the transfer of our provisional cultivation license to Red Earth. InJuly 2018, we completed the first phase of construction on our cultivation facility and expect to obtain final approvals towardsperfecting the cultivation license from the appropriate authorities, but we can provide no assurances on the receipt and/or timingof the final approvals.

 

Wemay face substantial competition in the operation of cultivation facilities in Nevada. Numerous other companies have also beengranted cultivation licenses, and, therefore, we anticipate that we will face competition from these other companies. Our managementteam has experience in successfully developing, implementing, and operating marijuana cultivation and related businesses in otherlegal cannabis markets. We believe our experience in cultivation and facility management will provide us with a competitive advantageover our competitors.

RISKFACTORS

 

Investingin our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, aswell as other information presented in this prospectus or in any other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus,in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. Moreover, the risks so described are not the onlyrisks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently perceive as immaterial may ultimately prove moresignificant than expected and impair our business operations. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financialcondition, results of operations, and prospects. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks andyou may lose all or part of your investment.

 

RisksRelating to Our Business and Industry

 

Thereport of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements includesa going concern explanatory paragraph in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a goingconcern.

 

Our financial statements have been preparedon a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normalcourse of business. However, we are a development stage company with current operations established in October 2016. The Company’sprimary asset is a Medical Marijuana Establishment Registration Certificate issued by the State of Nevada for the cultivation ofmedical marijuana. There is no assurance on the receipt and/or timing of final approvals from the appropriate authorities. We havenot generated any revenues from inception (October 17, 2016) to December 31, 2017 and had an accumulated deficit of $362,521 asof December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, we had still not generated any revenues and our accumulated deficit as of the same datewas $1,157,410. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Wehave a limited operating history, which may make it difficult for investors to predict future performance based on current operations.

 

Wehave a limited operating history upon which investors may base an evaluation of our potential future performance. In particular,we have not proven that we can sell cannabis products in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet customer requirements,obtain the necessary permits and/or achieve certain milestones to develop our cultivation businesses, enhance our line of cannabisproducts, develop and maintain relationships with customers and strategic partners, to raise sufficient capital in the publicand/or private markets, or respond effectively to competitive pressures. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will beable to develop or maintain consistent revenue sources, or that our operations will be profitable and/or generate positive cashflow.

 

Anyforecasts we make about our operations may prove to be inaccurate. We must, among other things, determine appropriate risks, rewards,and level of investment in our product lines, respond to economic and market variables outside of our control, respond to competitivedevelopments and continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successfulin meeting these challenges and addressing such risks and the failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our business,results of operations, and financial condition. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. As a result of these risks, challenges, and uncertainties,the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

 

Wehave incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our Common Stock to decline orhave a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.

 

Wehave incurred losses in prior periods. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred a net loss of approximately $334,800and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $362,500. Our historical financial statements prior to theRed Earth reverse merger were replaced with the historical financial statements of Red Earth, as the accounting acquirer, basedon the accounting treatment for the reverse merger transactions. Accordingly, we had no net income (loss) for the year ended December31, 2016 and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27,700. Any losses in the future could cause thequoted price of our Common Stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay ourdebts as they become due, and on our cash flow.

 

5

 

Wewill likely need additional capital to sustain our operations and will likely need to seek further financing, which we may notbe able to obtain on acceptable terms or at all. If we fail to raise additional capital, as needed, our ability to implement ourbusiness model and strategy could be compromised.

 

Wehave limited capital resources and operations. To date, our operations have been funded primarily from the proceeds of equityfinancings. We may require additional capital in the near future to develop business operations at our proposed production facilitiesin Las Vegas, Nevada, to expand our production of our future franchise production lines, to develop our intellectual propertybase, and establish our targeted levels of commercial production. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptableto us, or at all. In particular, because marijuana is illegal under federal law, we may have difficulty attracting investors.

 

Evenif we obtain financing for our near-term operations, we expect that we will require additional capital thereafter. Our capitalneeds will depend on numerous factors including: (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products by our competition;(iii) the level of our investment in research and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions.We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.

 

Ifwe raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership held by ourexisting stockholders will be reduced and our stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities maycontain rights, preferences, or privileges that are senior to those of our Common Stock. If we raise additional capital by incurringdebt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of securities, marketfluctuations in the price of our shares of Common Stock could limit our ability to obtain equity financing.

 

Wecannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorableto us. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be materiallyadversely affected, and we could be forced to reduce or discontinue our operations.

 

Weface intense competition and many of our competitors have greater resources that may enable them to compete more effectively.

 

Theindustries in which we operate in general are subject to intense and increasing competition. Some of our competitors may havegreater capital resources, facilities, and diversity of product lines, which may enable them to compete more effectively in thismarket. Our competitors may devote their resources to developing and marketing products that will directly compete with our productlines. Due to this competition, there is no assurance that we will not encounter difficulties in obtaining revenues and marketshare or in the positioning of our products. There are no assurances that competition in our respective industries will not leadto reduced prices for our products. If we are unable to successfully compete with existing companies and new entrants to the marketthis will have a negative impact on our business and financial condition.

 

Ifwe fail to protect our intellectual property, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Ourviability will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our intellectual property todistinguish our products from our competitors’ products. We rely on copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and confidentialityprovisions to establish and protect our intellectual property.

 

Anyinfringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property could damage its value and limit our ability to compete. We mayhave to engage in litigation to protect the rights to our intellectual property, which could result in significant litigationcosts and require a significant amount of our time. In addition, our ability to enforce and protect our intellectual propertyrights may be limited in certain countries outside the United States, which could make it easier for competitors to capture marketposition in such countries by utilizing technologies that are similar to those developed or licensed by us.

 

6

 

Competitorsmay also harm our sales by designing products that mirror our products or processes without infringing on our intellectual propertyrights. If we do not obtain sufficient protection for our intellectual property, or if we are unable to effectively enforce ourintellectual property rights, our competitiveness could be impaired, which would limit our growth and future revenue.

 

Wemay also find it necessary to bring infringement or other actions against third parties to seek to protect our intellectual propertyrights. Litigation of this nature, even if successful, is often expensive and time-consuming to prosecute and there can be noassurance that we will have the financial or other resources to enforce our rights or be able to enforce our rights or preventother parties from developing similar products or processes or designing around our intellectual property.

 

Althoughwe believe that our products and processes do not and will not infringe upon the patents or violate the proprietary rights ofothers, it is possible such infringement or violation has occurred or may occur, which could have a material adverse effect onour business.

 

Weare not aware of any infringement by us of any person’s or entity’s intellectual property rights. In the event thatproducts we sell or processes we employ are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be requiredto modify our products or processes or obtain a license for the manufacture and/or sale of such products or processes or ceaseselling such products or employing such processes. In such event, there can be no assurance that we would be able to do so ina timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a materialadverse effect upon our business.

 

Therecan be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement orproprietary rights violation action. If our products or processes are deemed to infringe or likely to infringe upon the patentsor proprietary rights of others, we could be subject to injunctive relief and, under certain circumstances, become liable fordamages, which could also have a material adverse effect on our business and our financial condition.

 

Ourtrade secrets may be difficult to protect.

 

Oursuccess depends upon the skills, knowledge, and experience of our scientific and technical personnel, our consultants and advisors,as well as our licensors and contractors. Because we operate in several highly competitive industries, we rely in part on tradesecrets to protect our proprietary technology and processes. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We enter into confidentialityor non-disclosure agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers,and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third parties’confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by us during the course of thereceiving party’s relationship with us. These agreements also generally provide that inventions conceived by the receivingparty in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property, and we enter into assignment agreements to perfectour rights.

 

Theseconfidentiality, inventions, and assignment agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rightsto us. Our trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case we would not be able to preventthe use of such trade secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and wasusing our trade secrets could be difficult, expensive, and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition,courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful tradesecret protection could adversely affect our competitive position.

 

Ourbusiness, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow may in the future be negatively impacted by challenging globaleconomic conditions.

 

Futuredisruptions and volatility in global financial markets and declining consumer and business confidence could lead to decreasedlevels of consumer spending. These macroeconomic developments could negatively impact our business, which depends on the generaleconomic environment and levels of consumer spending. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our existing customers or attractnew customers, or we may be forced to reduce the price of our products. We are unable to predict the likelihood of the occurrence,duration, or severity of such disruptions in the credit and financial markets and adverse global economic conditions. Any generalor market-specific economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations,and cash flow.

Ourfuture success depends on our key executive officers and our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.

 

Ourfuture success largely depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and management team. If one or more of ourexecutive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily,if at all. Additionally, we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new executive officers. If any of our executiveofficers joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some or all of our customers. Finally, we do not maintain“key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. Because of these factors, the loss of the services ofany of these key persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and thereby an investmentin our stock.

 

Ourcontinuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel will also be critical to our success because we will needto hire and retain additional personnel as our business grows. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retainhighly qualified personnel. We face significant competition for skilled personnel in our industries. In particular, if the marijuanaindustry continues to grow, demand for personnel may become more competitive. This competition may make it more difficult andexpensive to attract, hire, and retain qualified managers and employees. Because of these factors, we may not be able to effectivelymanage or grow our business, which could adversely affect our financial condition or business. As a result, the value of yourinvestment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

 

Wemay not be able to effectively manage our growth or improve our operational, financial, and management information systems, whichwould impair our results of operations.

 

Inthe near term, we intend to expand the scope of our operations activities significantly. If we are successful in executing ourbusiness plan, we will experience growth in our business that could place a significant strain on our business operations, finances,management, and other resources. The factors that may place strain on our resources include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  The need for continued development of our financial and information management systems;
     
  The need to manage strategic relationships and agreements with manufacturers, customers, and partners; and
     
  Difficulties in hiring and retaining skilled management, technical, and other personnel necessary to support and manage our business

 

Additionally,our strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may impose a significant burden on our administrative and operational resources.Our ability to effectively manage growth will require us to substantially expand the capabilities of our administrative and operationalresources and to attract, train, manage, and retain qualified management and other personnel. There can be no assurance that wewill be successful in recruiting and retaining new employees or retaining existing employees.

 

Wecannot provide assurances that our management will be able to manage this growth effectively. Our failure to successfully managegrowth could result in our sales not increasing commensurately with capital investments or otherwise materially adversely affectingour business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

Ifwe are unable to continually innovate and increase efficiencies, our ability to attract new customers may be adversely affected.

 

Inthe area of innovation, we must be able to develop new technologies and products that appeal to our customers. This depends, inpart, on the technological and creative skills of our personnel and on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights.We may not be successful in the development, introduction, marketing, and sourcing of new technologies or innovations, that satisfycustomer needs, achieve market acceptance, or generate satisfactory financial returns.

Weare dependent on the popularity of consumer acceptance of our current and future product lines.

 

Ourability to generate revenue and be successful in the implementation of our business plan is dependent on consumer acceptance anddemand of our current and future product lines. During the first quarter of 2018, we began accepting customer deposits for thesale, design, installation, and/or construction of greenhouse solutions to be used in the cultivation process in the cannabisindustry. In the near term, we expect to begin operating a cultivation facility in Nevada at which we expect to grow and sellmarijuana on a commercial basis. Acceptance of our greenhouse solutions and, in the future, acceptance of our marijuana products,will depend on several factors, including availability, cost, ease of use, familiarity of use, convenience, effectiveness, safety,and reliability. If customers do not accept our products, or if we fail to meet customers’ needs and expectations adequately,our ability to continue generating revenues could be reduced.

 

Adrop in the retail price of medical marijuana and recreational (adult use) marijuana products may negatively impact our business.

 

Inthe future, the demand for the marijuana we intend to cultivate will depend in part on the market price of commercially grownmarijuana. Fluctuations in economic and market conditions that impact the prices of commercially grown marijuana, such as increasesin the supply of such marijuana and the decrease in the price of products using commercially grown marijuana, could cause thedemand for our marijuana products to decline, which would have a negative impact on our business. 

 

Federalregulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of cannabis laws and regulations may negatively impact ourrevenues and profits.

 

Currently,there are 31 states plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulations that recognize, in one form or another, legitimatemedical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment, as well as, in some cases, the legalizationof cannabis for adult use. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, under the CSA, the policies andregulations of the federal government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities includingcultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. Unless and until Congress amends the CSA with respect to marijuana,as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance, there is a risk that federal authoritiesmay enforce current federal law, and we may be deemed to be producing, cultivating, or dispensing marijuana in violation of federallaw. Thus, active enforcement of the current federal regulatory position on cannabis may indirectly and adversely affect our revenuesand profits. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated federalpolicy remains uncertain. In February 2017, the Trump administration announced that there may be “greater enforcement”of federal laws regarding marijuana. Any such enforcement actions could have a negative effect on our business and results ofoperations.

 

OnJanuary 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a Marijuana Enforcement Memorandum that rescinded guidance previously issuedto federal law enforcement in a memorandum known as the “Cole Memo”. The Cole Memo provided that the DOJ is committedto the enforcement of the CSA, but, the DOJ is also committed to using its limited investigative and prosecutorial resources toaddress the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent, and rational way.

 

Theguidance, which has been since rescinded, set forth certain enforcement priorities that are important to the federalgovernment:

 

  Distribution of marijuana to children;
     
  Revenue from the sale of marijuana going to criminals;
     
  Diversion of medical marijuana from states where it is legal to states where it is not;

 

9

 

  Using state authorized marijuana activity as a pretext of other illegal drug activity;
     
  Preventing violence in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana;
     
  Preventing drugged driving;
     
  Growing marijuana on federal property; and
     
  Preventing possession or use of marijuana on federal property.

 

TheDOJ has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amountsof marijuana for use on private property but has relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In theevent the DOJ reverses its stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medicalmarijuana and recreational marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenueand profits. Furthermore, H.R. 83, known as the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer amendment, is a rider to the annual appropriations billthat prohibits the DOJ from using federal funds to prevent certain states, including Nevada and California, from implementingtheir own laws that authorized the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana. This prohibitionwas in place until September 30, 2018 and has not been renewed.

 

On September 27, 2018, the U.S. Drug EnforcementAgency announced that drugs, including “finished dosage formulations” of CBD with THC below 0.1%, will be consideredSchedule 5 drugs as long as the medications have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

 

Wecould be found to be violating laws related to cannabis.

 

Currently,there are 31 states plus the District of Columbia that have laws and/or regulations that recognize, in one form or another, legitimatemedical uses for cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment, as well as, in some cases, the legalizationof cannabis for adult use. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, under the CSA, the policies andregulations of the federal government and its agencies are that cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities includingcultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited. Unless and until Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical marijuana,as to the timing or scope of any such amendments there can be no assurance, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforcecurrent federal law. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and statedfederal policy remains uncertain. With respect to our greenhouse products, we intend to market and sell our greenhouse solutionsto marijuana growers. Should it be determined under the CSA that our greenhouse products or equipment are deemed to fall underthe definition of drug paraphernalia because its products could be determined to be primarily intended or designed for use inmanufacturing or producing cannabis, we could be found to be in violation of federal drug paraphernalia laws and there may bea direct and adverse effect on our business, revenues, and profits. With respect to Red Earth, we do not currently cultivate,produce, sell, or distribute any marijuana, and, therefore, have no risk that we will be deemed cultivate, produce, sell, or distributeany marijuana in violation of federal law. However, if we obtain the necessary final governmental approvals and permits in Nevadato commence the cultivation and production of marijuana, as to the successfully achievement of any or all of such objectives therecan be no assurance, we could be found in violation of the CSA. This would cause a direct and adverse effect on our subsidiaries’businesses, or intended businesses, and on our revenue and prospective profits.

 

Variationsin state and local regulation, and enforcement in states that have legalized cannabis, may restrict marijuana-related activities,including activities related to medical cannabis, which may negatively impact our revenues and prospective profits.

 

Individualstate laws do not always conform to the federal standard or to other states laws. A number of states have decriminalized marijuanato varying degrees, other states have created exemptions specifically for medical cannabis, and several have both decriminalizationand medical laws. As of September 2018, nine states and the District of Columbia have legalized the recreational use of cannabis.Variations exist among states that have legalized, decriminalized, or created medical marijuana exemptions. For example, certainstates have limits on the number of marijuana plants that can be homegrown. In most states, the cultivation of marijuana for personaluse continues to be prohibited except for those states that allow small-scale cultivation by the individual in possession of medicalmarijuana needing care or that person’s caregiver. Active enforcement of state laws that prohibit personal cultivation ofmarijuana may indirectly and adversely affect our business and our revenue and profits.

 

10

 

Prospectivecustomers may be deterred from doing business with a company with a significant nationwide online presence because of fears offederal or state enforcement of laws prohibiting possession and sale of medical or recreational marijuana.

 

Ourwebsite is visible in jurisdictions where medicinal and/or recreational use of marijuana is not permitted and, as a result, wemay be found to be violating the laws of those jurisdictions.

 

Marijuanaremains illegal under federal law.

 

Marijuanais a Schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana hasbeen legalized, its use remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts statelaws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in our inability to proceedwith our business plan, especially in respect of our marijuana cultivation, production and dispensaries. In addition, our assets,including real property, cash, equipment, and other goods, could be subject to asset forfeiture because marijuana isstill federally illegal.

 

InFebruary 2017, the Trump administration announced that there may be “greater enforcement” of federal laws regardingmarijuana. In January 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded previously issued guidance. Any such enforcement actionsor changes in federal policy or guidance could have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Inthe future, we will not be able to deduct some of our business expenses.

 

Section280E of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits marijuana businesses from deducting their ordinary and necessary business expenses,which will force us to pay higher effective federal tax rates than similar companies in other industries. The effective tax rateon a marijuana business depends on how large its ratio of nondeductible expenses is to its total revenues. Therefore, ourmarijuana business may be less profitable than it could otherwise be.

 

Wemay not be able to attract or retain any independent directors.

 

Ourboard of directors (the “Board”) is not currently comprised of a majority of independent directors. We may have difficultyattracting and retaining independent directors because, among other things, we operate in the marijuana industry.

 

Wemay not be able to successfully execute on our merger and acquisition strategy.

 

Ourbusiness plan depends in part on merging with or acquiring other businesses in the marijuana industry. The success of any acquisitionwill depend upon, among other things, our ability to integrate acquired personnel, operations, products and technologies intoour organization effectively, to retain and motivate key personnel of acquired businesses, and to retain their customers. Anyacquisition may result in diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, and such acquisition may bedilutive to our financial results and/or result in impairment charges and write-offs. We might also spend time and money investigatingand negotiating with potential acquisition or investment targets, but not complete the transaction.

 

Althoughwe expect to realize strategic, operational, and financial benefits as a result of our acquisitions, we cannot predict whetherand to what extent such benefits will be achieved. There are significant challenges to integrating an acquired operation intoour business.

 

Anyfuture acquisition could involve other risks, including the assumption of unidentified liabilities for which we, as a successorowner, may be responsible. These transactions typically involve a number of risks and present financial and other challenges,including the existence of unknown disputes, liabilities, or contingencies and changes in the industry, location, or regulatoryor political environment in which these investments are located, that our due diligence review may not adequately uncover andthat may arise after entering into such arrangements.

Lawsand regulations affecting the medical and adult use marijuana industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affectour proposed cultivation and production operations and greenhouse products.

 

Local,state, and federal medical and adult use marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations,which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. Inaddition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt certain aspects of our business plan andresult in a material adverse effect on certain aspects of our planned operations. In addition, it is possible that regulationsmay be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to certain aspects of our proposed cultivation and production businesses,as well as our greenhouse solutions business. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, orapplications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures,when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

 

Wemay not obtain the necessary permits and authorizations to operate our proposed marijuana business.

 

Wemay not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits, authorizations, or accreditations for our proposed cultivationand production businesses and greenhouse solutions business, or may only be able to do so at great cost. In addition, we may notbe able to comply fully with the wide variety of laws and regulations applicable to the medical and adult use marijuana industry.Failure to comply with or to obtain the necessary licenses, permits, authorizations, or accreditations could result in restrictionson our ability to operate the medical and adult use marijuana business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Ifwe incur substantial liability from litigation, complaints, or enforcement actions, our financial condition could suffer.

 

Ourparticipation in the medical and adult use marijuana industry may lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints, enforcementactions, and inquiries by various federal, state, or local governmental authorities against us. Litigation, complaints, and enforcementactions could consume considerable amounts of financial and other corporate resources, which could have a negative impact on oursales, revenue, profitability, and growth prospects. We have not been, and are not currently, subject to any material litigation,complaint, or enforcement action regarding marijuana (or otherwise) brought by any federal, state, or local governmental authority.Certain of our operating subsidiaries, may in the future engage in the distribution of marijuana; however, we have not been, andare not currently, subject to any material litigation, complaint, or enforcement action regarding marijuana (or otherwise) broughtby any federal, state, or local governmental authority with respect to the business of any our subsidiaries.

 

Wemay have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for us to operate.

 

Sincethe use of marijuana is illegal under federal law, many banks will not accept for deposit funds from businesses involved withthe marijuana industry. Consequently, businesses involved in the marijuana industry often have difficulty finding a bank willingto accept their business. The inability to open or maintain bank accounts may make it difficult for us to operate our proposedmarijuana businesses. If any of our bank accounts are closed, we may have difficulty processing transactions in the ordinary courseof business, including paying suppliers, employees and landlords, which could have a significant negative effect on our operations.

 

Litigationmay adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Fromtime to time in the normal course of our business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liabilitymaterial to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operationsare required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of our resources. There also maybe adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless ofwhether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may not be available at all or in sufficientamounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of our insurancecoverage for any claims could adversely affect our business and the results of our operations.

 

12

 

Ourofficers and directors have substantial equity ownership in the Company and substantial control over certain corporate actions.

 

As of October 3, 2018, our officers anddirectors owned approximately 32.1% of our outstanding Common Stock and thus exercise substantial control over stockholder matters,such as election of directors, amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions.

 

Ifwe fail to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Section404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements and public reports couldbe impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business, and investors’ viewsof us.

 

Ourinternal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP rules. Our internal controlswere adversely affected by deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal controls, which management considered to bematerial weaknesses. These material weaknesses include the following:

 

  lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
     
  inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and
     
  ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

Thefailure to implement and maintain proper and effective internal controls and disclosure controls could result in material weaknessesin our financial reporting, such as errors in our financial statements and in the accompanying footnote disclosures that couldrequire restatements. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and disclosure, which could negativelyimpact our stock price.

 

Wedo not expect that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, nomatter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectiveswill be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefitsof controls must be considered relative to their costs. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, bycollusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate becausechanges in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may occur. Because of the inherentlimitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Ourinsurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures.

 

Wewill be exposed to liabilities that are unique to the products we provide. While we intend to maintain insurance for certain risks,the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantialcosts resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business. It is also not possible to obtain insurance to protect against alloperational risks and liabilities. In particular, we may have difficulty obtaining insurance because we intend to operate in themarijuana industry. The failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage on terms favorable to us, or at all, could have a materialadverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We do not have any business interruption insurance.Any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

 

Ifour products are contaminated, we may have litigation and products liability exposure.

 

Wesource some of our products from third-party suppliers. Although we are required by Nevada law to test the products we receivefrom third-party suppliers, we may not identify all contamination in those products. Possible contaminates include pesticides,molds, and fungus. If a customer suffers an injury from our products, they may sue us in addition to the supplier and we may nothave adequate insurance to cover any such claims, which could result in a negative effect on our results of operations.

 

13

 

Someof our lines of business rely on our third-party service providers to host and deliver services and data, and any interruptionsor delays in these hosted services, security or privacy breaches, or failures in data collection could expose us to liabilityand harm our business and reputation.

 

Someof our lines of business and services rely on services hosted and controlled directly by third-party service providers. We donot have redundancy for all of our systems, many of our critical applications reside in only one of our data centers, and ourdisaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. If our business relationship with a third-party provider ofhosting or software services is negatively affected, or if one of our service providers were to terminate its agreement with us,we might not be able to deliver access our data, which could subject us to reputational harm and cause us to lose customers andfuture business, thereby reducing our revenue.

  

Wemay hold large amounts of customer data, some of which will likely be hosted in third-party facilities. A security incident atthose facilities or ours may compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of customer data. Unauthorized access tocustomer data stored on our computers or networks may be obtained through break-ins, breaches of our secure network by an unauthorizedparty, employee theft or misuse or other misconduct. It is also possible that unauthorized access to customer data may be obtainedthrough inadequate use of security controls by customers. Accounts created with weak passwords could allow cyber-attackers togain access to customer data. If there were an inadvertent disclosure of customer information, or if a third party were to gainunauthorized access to the information we possess on behalf of our customers, our operations could be disrupted, our reputationcould be damaged and we could be subject to claims or other liabilities. In addition, such perceived or actual unauthorized disclosureof the information we collect or breach of our security could damage our reputation, result in the loss of customers and harmour business.

 

Becauseof the data we expect to collect and manage using our hosted solutions, it is possible that hardware or software failures or errorsin our systems (or those of our third-party service providers) could result in data loss or corruption, cause the informationthat we collect to be incomplete or contain inaccuracies that our customers regard as significant or cause us to fail to meetcommitted service levels. Furthermore, our ability to collect and report data may be delayed or interrupted by a number of factors,including access to the Internet, the failure of our network or software systems or security breaches. In addition, computer virusesor other malware may harm our systems, causing us to lose data, and the transmission of computer viruses or other malware couldexpose us to litigation. We may also find, on occasion, that we cannot deliver data and reports in near real time because of anumber of factors, including failures of our network or software. If we supply inaccurate information or experience interruptionsin our ability to capture, store and supply information in near real time or at all, our reputation could be harmed and we couldlose customers, or we could be found liable for damages or incur other losses. Moreover, states in which we operate may requirethat we maintain certain information about our customers and transactions. If we fail to maintain such information, we could bein violation of state laws.

 

RisksRelated to an Investment in Our Securities

 

Weexpect to experience volatility in the price of our Common Stock, which could negatively affect stockholders’ investments.

 

Thetrading price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors,some of which are beyond our control. The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that haveoften been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with securities traded in those markets. Broadmarket and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of companies’ stock, including ours, regardless of actualoperating performance. All of these factors could adversely affect your ability to sell your shares of Common Stock or, if youare able to sell your shares, to sell your shares at a price that you determine to be fair or favorable.

 

14

 

Therelative lack of public company experience of our management team could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reportingrequirements of U.S. securities laws.

 

Ourmanagement team lacks public company experience, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirementssuch as those imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our senior management has limited experience in managing a publicly tradedcompany. Such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis.Our senior management may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respondto such increased legal, regulatory compliance, and reporting requirements, including the establishing and maintaining of internalcontrols over financial reporting. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses, or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effecton our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ExchangeAct”), which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our abilityto continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy, we could be subject to the imposition of fines and penalties, and ourmanagement would have to divert resources from attending to our business plan.

 

OurCommon Stock is categorized as “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their sharesof Common Stock due to suitability requirements.

 

OurCommon Stock is categorized as “penny stock.” The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9, which generally defines “pennystock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price ofless than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The price of our Common Stock is significantly less than $5.00 per shareand, therefore, is considered “penny stock.” This designation imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealerswho sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer buyingour securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determinethat the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities given the increased risks generally inherent in penny stocks.These rules may restrict the ability and/or willingness of brokers or dealers to buy or sell our Common Stock, either directlyor on behalf of their clients, may discourage potential stockholders from purchasing our Common Stock, or may adversely affectthe ability of stockholders to sell their shares.

  

FinancialIndustry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability tobuy and sell our Common Stock, which could depress the price of our Common Stock.

 

Inaddition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to havereasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer before recommending an investment to a customer.Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonableefforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information.Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities willnot be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommendthat their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares of Common Stock, have an adverseeffect on the market for our shares of Common Stock, and thereby depress our price per share of Common Stock.

 

OurCommon Stock may not be eligible for listing or quotation on any national securities exchange.

 

Wedo not currently meet the initial quantitative listing standards of any national securities exchange. We cannot assure you thatwe will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any national securities exchange in the future, or, if we do meet suchinitial listing standards, that we will be able to maintain any such listing. Until our Common Stock is listed on a national securitiesexchange, which event may never occur, we expect that it will continue to be eligible and quoted on the PINK. However, investorsmay find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock. Further, the national securitiesexchanges are adopting so-called “seasoning” rules that will require that we meet certain requirements, includingprescribed periods of time trading over-the-counter and minimum filings of periodic reports with the SEC, before we are eligibleto apply for listing on such national securities exchanges. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations,various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customersand accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our Common Stock,which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

Theelimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnificationrights for our obligations to our directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discouragelawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.

 

OurArticles of Incorporation contain a provision permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors to us and ourstockholders for damages for the breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent provided by Nevada law. Wemay also have contractual indemnification obligations under any future employment agreements with our officers or agreements enteredinto with our directors. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to coverthe cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions andthe resulting costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciaryduties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officerseven though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

 

Wemay issue additional shares of Common Stock or preferred stock in the future, which could cause significant dilution to all stockholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizethe issuance of up to 95,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 pershare. As of October 3, 2018, we had 66,291,031 shares of Common Stock outstanding; however, we may issue additional shares ofCommon Stock or preferred stock in the future in connection with a financing or an acquisition. Such issuances may not requirethe approval of our stockholders.  Any issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, or equity securities convertibleinto our Common Stock, including but not limited to, preferred stock, warrants, and options, will dilute the percentage ownershipinterest of all stockholders, may dilute the book value per share of our Common Stock, and may negatively impact the market priceof our Common Stock.

 

Anti-takeovereffects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of us.

 

Nevadahas a business combination law that prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and “interestedstockholders” for three years after an “interested stockholder” first becomes an “interested stockholder,”unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an “interestedstockholder” is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the votingpower of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any timewithin the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power ofthe then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “business combination” is sufficientlybroad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation’s assets tofinance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

 

Theeffect of Nevada’s business combination law is potentially to discourage parties interested in taking control of us fromdoing so if they cannot obtain the approval of our Board. Both of these provisions could limit the price investors would be willingto pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock.

 

Becausewe do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Common Stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on theirshares unless they sell them.

 

Weintend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying anycash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Declaring and paying future dividends, if any, will be determinedby our Board, based upon earnings, financial condition, capital resources, capital requirements, restrictions in our Articlesof Incorporation, contractual restrictions, and such other factors as our Board deems relevant. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholderswill not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be ableto sell shares when desired or for prices that they deem acceptable.

Dividends

 

Wedid not pay any cash dividends on our common stock during 2017 or 2016 and we do not intend to pay cash dividends on our CommonStock for the foreseeable future, but currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of ourbusiness. The payment of dividends, if any, on our Common Stock will rest solely within the discretion of our board of directorsand will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors.The Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), however, prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effectto the distribution of the dividend:

 

  we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
     
  our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution, unless otherwise permitted under our Articles of Incorporation.

SecuritiesAuthorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

Wedo not have in effect any compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.

 

PennyStock Regulations

 

TheSEC has adopted regulations that generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price ofless than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stockand be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to personsother than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomeexceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).

 

Fortransactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of suchsecurities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction,other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosuredocument mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payableto both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer isthe sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market.Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and informationon the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sellour Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.

BUSINESS

 

CompanyBackground

 

Weare a holding company whose subsidiaries provide infrastructure, consulting and construction services, in addition to holding,and managing third party state issued cultivation and production licenses.

 

Wewere originally incorporated on November 17, 2006, as Securitas EDGAR Filings, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada. Priorto the formation of Securitas EDGAR Filings Inc., the business was operated as Xpedient EDGAR Filings, LLC, a Florida LimitedLiability Company, formed on October 31, 2005. On November 21, 2005, Xpedient EDGAR Filings LLC amended its Articles of Organizationto change its name to Securitas EDGAR Filings, LLC. On January 21, 2009, Securitas EDGAR Filings LLC merged into Securitas EDGARFilings, Inc., a Nevada corporation. On February 14, 2014, we amended and restated our Articles of Incorporation and changed ourname to MJ Holdings, Inc.

 

FromFebruary 2014 to January 2017, we owned and leased real estate properties zoned for legalized marijuana operations to licensedmarijuana operators.

 

OnNovember 22, 2016, in connection with a plan to divest ourselves of our real estate business, we submitted to our stockholdersthe Exchange Offer to exchange shares of our Common Stock for shares in MJRE a newly formed LLC formed for the sole purpose ofeffecting the Exchange Offer. On January 10, 2017, we accepted for exchange 1,800,000 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for1,800,000 shares of MJRE’s common units, representing membership interests in MJRE. Effective February 1, 2017, we transferredour ownership interests in the real estate properties and our subsidiaries, through which we hold ownership of the real estateproperties, to MJRE. MJRE also assumed the senior notes and any and all obligations associated with the real estate propertiesand business, effective February 1, 2017.

 

ReverseMerger

 

OnDecember 15, 2017, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Red Earth, which was formed in October2016, in exchange for 52,732,969 shares of our Common Stock and a promissory note in the amount of $900,000. The acquisition wasaccounted for as a reverse merger, whereby Red Earth was considered the accounting acquirer and became our wholly-owned subsidiary.Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the now-former members of Red Earth became the beneficial owners of approximately 88%of our Common Stock, obtained a controlling interest of us, and retained certain of our key management positions. In accordancewith the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger” or a “reverse acquisition,” our historical financialstatements prior to the reverse merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Red Earth prior to the reversemerger in all future filings with the SEC. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the reverse merger will includethe assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the combined company from and after the closing date of the reverse merger,with only certain aspects of pre-consummation stockholders’ equity remaining in the consolidated financial statements.

 

OurBusiness

 

Throughour acquisition of Red Earth and their wholly owned subsidiary, HDGLV, we expect to commence legal marijuana cultivation activitiesin the fourth quarter of 2018 upon approval by the Nevada Department of Taxation of the transfer of a Provisional CultivationLicense to Red Earth, which occurred in April 2018, and the required state and city approvals for our cultivation facility. Itis our intention to grow our business through the acquisition of existing companies and/or through the development of new opportunitiesthat can provide a 360-degree spectrum of infrastructure (dispensaries), cultivation, and production management, and consultingservices in the regulated cannabis industry.

 

ThroughRed Earth, we hold a State of Nevada issued cannabis cultivation license, and through HDGLV, we hold a triple-netleasehold, with an option to buy, on a 17,298 square-foot building, which we expect will be home to our cultivation facility.

MarijuanaIndustry Overview

 

Marijuanacultivation refers to the planting, tending, improving and harvesting of the flowering plant cannabis, primarily for the productionand consumption of cannabis flowers, often referred to as “buds”. The cultivation techniques for marijuana cultivationdiffer than for other purposes such as hemp production. Generally, references to marijuana cultivation and production do not includehemp production.

 

Cannabisbelongs to the genus cannabis in the family Cannabaceae and for the purposes of production and consumption, includes three species,Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis. Sativa and Indica generally grow tall with some varieties reaching approximately 4 meters. Thefemale plants produce flowers rich in THC. Ruderalis is a short plant and produces trace amounts of THC but is very rich in CBD,which is an antagonist (inhibits the physiological action) to THC.

 

Asof September 2018, there are a total of 31 states, plus the District of Columbia, with legislation passed as it relates tomedicinal or adult-use cannabis. These state laws are in direct conflict with the CSA, which places controlled substances, includingcannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse, hasno currently-accepted use for medical treatment in the U.S., and lacks acceptable safety for use under medical supervision.

 

Asof September 2018, 31 states, and the District of Columbia, have adopted laws that exempt patients who use medicinal cannabisunder a physician’s supervision from state criminal penalties. These are collectively referred to as the states that havede-criminalized medicinal cannabis, although there is a subtle difference between de-criminalization and legalization, and eachstate’s laws are different. Additionally, nine states and the Washington D.C. now allow for recreational use of marijuana.

  

Decriminalizationof marijuana varies by state. As of September 2018, 13 states have decriminalized the non-medical use and possession of marijuanafor personal consumption. Decriminalization generally means that violators of local marijuana laws may be subject to civil penaltyrather than face criminal prosecution. In three states, Idaho, South Dakota, and Kansas, the cultivation, possession, or use ofmarijuana is strictly prohibited and violators may be subject to criminal prosecution.

 

Forexample, Nevada legalized marijuana for recreational use, effective July 1, 2017, making it legal for adults over the age of 21to use marijuana and to possess up to one ounce of marijuana flowers and one-eighth of an ounce of marijuana concentrates. Individualsare also permitted to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use. In addition, businesses can legally, pursuant to stateregulations, cultivate, process, dispense, distribute, and test marijuana products under certain conditions.

 

21

 

Thedichotomy between federal and state laws has also limited the access to banking and other financial services by marijuana businesses.Recently the DOJ and the U.S. Department of Treasury issued guidance for banks considering conducting business with marijuanadispensaries in states where those businesses are legal, pursuant to which banks must now file a Marijuana Limited SuspiciousActivity Report that states the marijuana business is following the government’s guidelines with regard to revenue thatis generated exclusively from legal sales. However, since the same guidance noted that banks could still face prosecution if theyprovide financial services to marijuana businesses, it has led to the widespread refusal of the banking industry to offer bankingservices to marijuana businesses operating within state and local laws.

 

TheDOJ has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amountsof marijuana for use on private property but has relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In theevent the DOJ reverses its stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medicalmarijuana and recreational marijuana in small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenueand profits.

 

Furthermore, H.R. 83, known as the Rohrabacher-Blumenaueramendment, is a rider to the annual appropriations bill that prohibits the DOJ from using federal funds to prevent certain states,including Nevada and California, from implementing their own laws that authorized the use, distribution, possession, or cultivationof medical marijuana. This prohibition was in place until September 30, 2018 and has not been renewed.

 

Weare monitoring the Trump administration’s, the DOJ’s, and Congress’ positions on federal marijuana law and policy.Based on public statements and reports, we understand that certain aspects of those laws and policies are currently under review,but no official changes have been announced. It is possible that certain changes to existing laws or policies could have a negativeeffect on our business and results of operations.

 

We currently operate marijuana businessesin Nevada. Although the possession, cultivation, and distribution of marijuana is permitted in Nevada, provided compliance withapplicable state and local laws, rules, and regulations, marijuana is illegal under federal law. We believe we operate our businessin compliance with applicable state laws and regulations. Any changes in federal, state, or local law enforcement regarding marijuanamay affect our ability to operate our business. Strict enforcement of federal law regarding marijuana would likely result in theinability to proceed with our business plans, could expose us to potential criminal liability and could subject our propertiesto civil forfeiture. Any changes in banking, insurance, or other business services may also affect our ability to operate our business.

 

RedEarth / HDGLV

 

Primarily,Red Earth’s assets consist of (i) a cultivation license to grow marijuana within the City of Las Vegas in theState of Nevada and (ii) all of the outstanding membership interests in HDGLV, which holds a triple net leasehold interest ina 17,298 square-foot building located at 2310 Western Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada, which we expect to operate as an indoor marijuanacultivation and an agritourism destination. We expect to complete construction of this facility in the fourth quarter of 2018.This facility is intended to serve as a draw for tourists who desire to visit, see, and learn about the inner-workings of a cannabiscultivation facility.

 

InApril 2018, the State of Nevada finalized and approved the transfer of our provisional cultivation license to Red Earth. InJuly 2018, we completed the first phase of construction on our cultivation facility and expect to obtain final approvals towardsperfecting the cultivation license from the appropriate authorities, but we can provide no assurances on the receipt and/or timingof the final approvals.

 

Wemay face substantial competition in the operation of cultivation facilities in Nevada. Numerous other companies have also beengranted cultivation licenses, and, therefore, we anticipate that we will face competition from these other companies. Our managementteam has experience in successfully developing, implementing, and operating marijuana cultivation and related businesses in otherlegal cannabis markets. We believe our experience in cultivation and facility management will provide us with a competitive advantageover our competitors.

 

22

 

Revenue

 

From inception (October 17, 2016) to June30, 2018, we did not generate any revenues. Subject to the receipt of the required State of Nevada and City of Las Vegas approvals,we expect to commence operation of our cultivation facility in the fourth quarter of 2018 and realize revenues beginning in thefourth quarter of 2018. There can be no assurance that we will receive the requisite approvals or that we will generate meaningfulrevenues thereafter.

 

Competition

 

The cannabis industry is subject to intenseand increasing competition. Some of our competitors may have substantially greater capital resources, facilities, and infrastructurethan we have, which may enable them to compete more effectively in this market. Red Earth may face substantial competition in theoperation of a cultivation and production facility in Nevada. Numerous other companies were also granted licenses, and, therefore,we anticipate that we will face competition with these other companies, many of which already are operating a cultivation and productionfacility in and around the location of our anticipated facility. We believe that we can effectively compete with other similarlysituated cannabis companies because we seek full vertical integration of our cannabis related businesses from cultivation and productionto distribution and retail sale. On September 20, 2018, we submitted applications to operate up to five retail marijuana dispensaries.We expect to be advised, on or before December 5, 2018, of the number of retail licenses that will be awarded to us, if any. Additionally,at the present time, we are not aware of any other cannabis companies offering a cooperative greenhouse model similar to our; however,we face Nevada state regulatory hurdles with respect to our greenhouse solutions business, which may cause us to exit this portionof our business.

 

Researchand Development

 

Currently, we have no plans to commenceresearch and development activities. 

 

Suppliers

 

At the present time, our major supplieris Healthier Choices Management Corporation (“Healthier Choices”). We entered into an agreement with Healthier Choices,pursuant to which we agreed to purchase $2,000,000 worth of their cannabis consumption Q-Cups.  We will fill this patentedtechnology with our cannabis products and distribute to retailers for consumption by purchasers using a number of readily availablevape dispensers. Healthier Choices is the exclusive supplier of Q-Cups.

 

Employees

 

As of October 3, 2018, we had three full-timeemployees.

 

Properties

 

Ourprincipal office is located at 3275 South Jones Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada, where we occupy 3,250 square-feet subject to a monthlylease payment of $5,500.  The current lease is for a term of 18 months, expires on May 31, 2019, and is renewable at ouroption.

 

Wehold a triple net leasehold interest in a 17,298 square-foot building located at 2310 Western Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada. The leaseis for an initial term of 10 years, with a 12-month rent abatement. The commencement date of the lease is June 29, 2017. The leaseincludes two options to extend, each for an additional 5 years. The lease grants us an option to purchase the property on or afterthe 25th month of the lease and continuing through the 60th month of the lease for the sum of$2,607,880. Currently, we have no intention to exercise the purchase option.

MANAGEMENT’SDISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Thefollowing discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended December 31,2017 and three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, should be read in conjunction with the financialstatements and related notes and the other financial information that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussionincludes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives,expectations, and intentions. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate tofuture operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates,forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies,many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. Theseuncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressedin any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements asa result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,and Business sections in this prospectus. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,”“project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,”“may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forwardlooking statements.

 

CriticalAccounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

 

Ourdiscussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements,which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to makeestimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and therelated disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptionsthat we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carryingvalues of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Anaccounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about mattersthat are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, orchanges in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in thepreparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

RevenueRecognition 

 

Werecognize revenue from the sales of products or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria have beenmet: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the fee is fixedor determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

ConvertibleInstruments

 

Weevaluate and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and HedgingActivities.

 

GAAPrequires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivativefinancial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristicsand risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risksof the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract isnot re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separateinstrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

24

 

Weaccounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcatedfrom their host instruments) as follows: we record, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value ofconversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stockat the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under thesearrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

 

OperatingLeases

 

Welease production and warehouse facilities and office space under operating leases. Operating lease agreements may contain rentescalation clauses, rent holidays, or certain landlord incentives, including tenant improvement allowances. Rent expense withscheduled rent increases or landlord incentives are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, beginning with theeffective lease commencement date, which is generally the date in which the we take possession of or controls the physical useof the property.

 

IncomeTaxes

 

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

 

Taxbenefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustainedon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financialstatements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood ofbeing realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurredas a component of income tax expense. We have not recognized any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions for any of the reportingperiods presented.

The interest expense was associated with an investor’s advance of $350,000 to fund the acquisition of a ProvisionalGrow License in Nevada in February 2017.

 

NetLoss

 

Forthe six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net loss of $794,889 compared to a net loss of $49,222 for the six months endedJune 30, 2017.

 

YearEnded December 31, 2017

 

Ourhistorical financial statements prior to the reverse merger with Red Earth were replaced with the historical financial statementsof Red Earth, the “accounting acquirer,” based on the accounting treatment for reverse merger transactions. SinceRed Earth was formed in October 2016, and had no results of operations during 2016, no comparisons to prior periods are availablefor our 2017 results of operations.

 

Revenues

 

Wedid not generate any revenues from inception (October 17, 2016) to December 31, 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, we beganaccepting customer deposits for the sale, design, installation, and/or construction of greenhouse solutions to be used in thecultivation process in the cannabis industry. We expect to begin generating revenues from these greenhouse projects during thefourth quarter of 2018.

 

OperatingExpenses

 

Generaland administrative expenses were $270,267 for the year ended December 31, 2017. General and administrative expenses consistedof facility costs of $179,615, of which $104,565 was for non-cash deferred rent expense, professional fees of $53,480, conferencesand travel expense of $24,481, and other administrative costs of $12,691.

Liquidityand Capital Resources

 

We had cash of $934,296 at June 30, 2018,compared with cash of $2,513,863 at December 31, 2017. The decrease in cash in 2018 was attributed to ongoing operations.

 

We generally rely on cash from equity offerings,to the extent available, to satisfy our liquidity needs. Since the beginning of fiscal 2017, we raised a net total of approximately$5,381,862 from the issuance of Common Stock and preferred stock and the exercise of options and warrants for shares of our CommonStock.

 

Weexpect to begin generating revenues during the fourth quarter of 2018 but will likely incur additional net losses during thistime period. Although we can provide no assurances, we believe our cash on hand and our ability to raise additional capital willprovide sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our business for the next twelve months. There are a number of factorsthat could result in the need to raise additional funds, including the inability to generate revenue or a lack of anticipatedsales growth, increased costs, increases in insurance premiums, and increases in other discretionary spending, such as sales andmarketing expenses. Our efforts are directed toward generating positive cash flow and profitability. If these efforts are notsuccessful, we may need to raise additional capital. Should capital not be available to us at reasonable terms, other actionsmay become necessary in addition to cost control measures and continued efforts to generate and increase sales.

CERTAINRELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Transactions with Related Persons

 

Thefollowing is a description of transactions since October 17, 2016, to which we have been a party in which:

 

  the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years; and
     
  our directors and executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons or entities affiliated with them, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

OnDecember 15, 2017, as part of the Red Earth reverse merger transaction, we issued a convertible note payable in the amount of$900,000 to the now-former members of Red Earth. At the time of the transaction, Paris Balaouras, our Chief Executive Officer,was a 50% partner and managing member of Red Earth.

 

InDecember 2017, upon completion of the Red Earth reverse merger, our $400,000 debt obligation was assumed by Paris Balaouras, ourChief Executive Officer.

 
Board Composition and Director Independence

 

Ourbusiness and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. Our Board is currently comprised of one member, Mr. Paris Balaouras.Because of his relationship with us, Mr. Balaouras is not “independent” under the rules of any national securitiesexchange or Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

BoardCommittees

 

OurBoard does not have a standing audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating and governance committee, or committeesperforming similar functions, and, therefore, the entire Board, consisting of a sole director, performs such functions. Our CommonStock is not currently listed on any national exchange and we are not required to maintain such committees by any self-regulatoryagency. Our management does not believe it is necessary for the Board to appoint such committees because the volume of mattersthat currently and historically have come before the Board for consideration permits our sole director to give sufficient timeand attention to such matters and be involved in all decision making.

 

Wedo not currently have an audit committee financial expert. Our management does not believe it is necessary for the Board to designatean audit committee financial expert at this time due to our limited operating history and the limited volume of matters that comebefore the Board requiring such an expert.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We adopted a code of ethics within themeaning of Item 406 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),titled, “Business Conduct: “Code of Conduct and Policy,” that applies to all of our employees, including ourprincipal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, and the Board. The code of ethics isavailable on our website at http://www.mjholdingsinc.com under the “Investor” tab.

General

 

Weare currently authorized to issue up to 95,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001per share.

Each holderof Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders and are not entitled tocumulative voting for the election of directors.

We have not paid any dividends and do not intend to pay any cash dividends to the holders of Common Stockin the foreseeable future. We anticipate reinvesting our earnings, if any, for use in the development of our business. In theevent of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled, unless otherwise providedby law or our Articles of Incorporation, including any certificate of designations for a series of preferred stock, to share ratablyin all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the preferences of preferred stockholders.

Ofthe 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized in our Articles of Incorporation, 2,500 sharesare designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and are issued and outstanding as of October 3, 2018. 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, withoutstockholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that couldadversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have theeffect of restricting dividends payable to holders of our Common Stock, diluting the voting power of our Common Stock, impairingthe liquidation rights of our Common Stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of us, all without further action byour stockholders.

 

SeriesA Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Inconnection with a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 9, 2018 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”),by and between the Selling Stockholder and us, we issued 2,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per shareor an aggregate subscription of $2,500,000. The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions associated withour Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Eachshare of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock determinedby 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’saffiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after givingeffect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion. A holder, upon notice to us, may increase or decreasethis beneficial ownership limitation; provided, that, in no event can the holder increase the beneficial ownership limitationin excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of sharesof Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock then held by holder. Such increase of the beneficial ownershiplimitation 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 APreferred Stock to (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences, or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alteror amend the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, (ii) amend our Articles of Incorporation or other charter documentsin any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders, (iii) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A PreferredStock, or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the forgoing.

Anti-TakeoverEffects of Nevada Law and Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Someprovisions of Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, and our Bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactionsmore difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise;or the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplishor could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, includingtransactions that provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

  

Theseprovisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisionsare also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believethat the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicitedproposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of theseproposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

UndesignatedPreferred Stock. The ability of our Board, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 4,997,500 shares of preferredstock, which was previously authorized but remain undesignated, with voting or other rights or preferences as designated by ourBoard could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferringhostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us.

 

StockholderMeetings. Our Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our president, the Chairman of theBoard, the Board, or a committee of the Board duly designated and whose powers and authority include the power to call meetings.The holders of at least 30% of all shares entitled to vote at a proposed special meeting may also call a special meeting of stockholders.

 

StockholderAction by Written Consent. Our Bylaws allow for any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholdersto be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signedby the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize ortake such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

StockholdersNot Entitled to Cumulative Voting. Our Bylaws do not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directorscan elect all of the directors standing for election, if they choose, other than any directors that holders of our preferred stockmay be entitled to elect.

NevadaBusiness Combination Statutes. The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive,of the NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination”transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person becamean interested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholderobtained such status or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholdersby the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders,and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless:

 

  the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or
     
  if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.

 

A“combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge,transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having:(a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregatemarket value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more ofthe earning power or net income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliateor associate of an interested stockholder.

  

Ingeneral, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within twoyears, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeoveror change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offerour stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

 

NevadaControl Share Acquisition Statutes. The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, ofthe NRS apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including atleast 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The controlshare statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stockafter crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’sdisinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but lessthan a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the abovethresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” andsuch control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions alsoprovide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of allvoting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitledto demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’rights.

 

Acorporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election inits articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the datean acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We havenot opted out of the control share statutes and will be subject to these statutes if we are an “issuing corporation”as defined in such statutes.

 

Theeffect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person,will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual orspecial meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of us.

 

Theprovisions of Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, and our Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attemptinghostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stockthat often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changesin the composition of our board and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplishtransactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Notes to theConsolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June30, 2018 and 2017

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 — Nature of theBusiness

 

MJ Holdings, Inc.(“the Company”) is a holding company whose subsidiaries provide infrastructure, consulting and construction services,in addition to holding, and managing third party state issued cultivation and production licenses.

  

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Red Earth,LLC (“Red Earth”) is the holder of provisional Medical Marijuana Establishment Registration Certificate (the “Certificate”).

 

In April 2018,the State of Nevada finalized and approved the transfer of the provisional Medical Marijuana Establishment Registration Certificate(the “Certificate”) from our wholly owned subsidiary, Red Earth, LLC (“Red Earth”) to the Company. TheCertificate, when perfected, will allow the Company to commence legal marijuana cultivation activities in the State of Nevada.HDGLV, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Earth, holds a triple-net leasehold, with an option to buy, on a 17,298 square-footbuilding, which will be home to our cultivation facility. We expect Phase 1 of this facility to be completed in the third quarterof 2018. We expect final approval by the State of Nevada, Department of Taxation of our Certificate and issuance of a BusinessLicense from the City of Las Vegas in the third quarter of 2018.

 

In April 2018,the Company entered into a management agreement with a Nevada company (the “Licensed Operator”) that holds a license,for the legal cultivation of marijuana for sale under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Licensed Operator has engaged us todevelop, manage, and operate a licensed cultivation facility on property owned by the Licensed Operator. At our sole cost and expense,we have agreed to complete the construction of a 120,000 square-foot outdoor grow facility, including the construction of an 8,000square-foot building and installation of security fencing, meeting the State of Nevada building codes and regulations. We expectto receive all necessary state and local approvals and complete construction of the facility to commence operations in the latterpart of the third quarter of 2018.

F-5

 

The Company’sprimary asset is a provisional Medical Marijuana Establishment Registration Certificate issued by the State of Nevada for the cultivationof medical marijuana. There is no assurance on the receipt and/or timing of final approvals from the appropriate authorities. TheCompany has not generated any revenues from inception (October 17, 2016) to June 30, 2018 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,157,410.These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

   

In the event theCompany experiences liquidity and capital resource constraints because of unanticipated operating losses, we may need to raiseadditional capital in the form of equity and/or debt financing. If such additional capital is not available on terms acceptableto us or at all, then we may need to curtail our operations and/or take additional measures to conserve and manage our liquidityand capital resources, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, andour ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcomeof this uncertainty.

On December 15,2017, the Company issued a convertible note payable in the amount of $900,000 to the members of Red Earth.

ReverseMerger

 

OnDecember 15, 2017, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Red Earth LLC, a Nevada limited liabilitycompany (“Red Earth”) established in October 2016, in exchange 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. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby RedEarth was considered the accounting acquirer and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the acquisition,the members of Red Earth became the beneficial owners of approximately 88% of the Company’s common stock immediately followingthe acquisition, obtained controlling interest of the Company, and retained key management positions of the Company. In accordancewith the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger” or a “reverse acquisition,” the Company’s historicalfinancial statements prior to the reverse merger will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Red Earth priorto the reverse merger, in all future filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The consolidatedfinancial statements after completion of the reverse merger will include the assets, liabilities and results of operations ofthe combined company from and after the closing date of the reverse merger.

 

Note2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principlesof Consolidation

 

Theconsolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Red Earth, LLC, HDGLV,LLC, Icon Management, LLC, and Prescott Management, LLC. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Useof Estimates

 

Thepreparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectthe amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions are required inthe determination of the fair value of financial instruments and the valuation of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets. Someof these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

F-14

 

FairValue of Financial Instruments

 

Fairvalue is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) inthe principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants onthe measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires classification based on observable andunobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data(observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

 

Level one - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
   
Level two - Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
   
Level three - Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

 

Determiningwhich category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchydisclosures each quarter.

 

Financialinstruments include cash, payables, and debt obligations. Except as described below, due to the short-term nature of the financialinstruments, there are no financial instruments measured at fair value on a recovery basis.

 

Warrantsto Purchase Common Stock and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Weclassify as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of net-cash settlementor settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to ourown stock. We classify as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to netcash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cashsettlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We assess the classification of warrants issuedto purchase our common stock and any other financial instrument at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classificationbetween assets and liabilities is required.

 

Cash

 

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

 

TheCompany has cash in financial institutions in excess of Federally insured limits. However, the Company has not experienced anylosses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances. Cash exceeding federallyinsured limits amounted to $2,263,863 as of December 31, 2017.

 

DebtIssuance Costs 

 

Costsassociated with obtaining, closing, and modifying loans and/or debt instruments such as, but not limited to placement agent fees,attorney fees and state documentary fees are capitalized, netted against the carrying amount of the debt instrument, and chargedto interest expense over the term of the loan.

 

Long–lived Assets

 

Long-livedassets, including real estate property and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstancesindicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of theircarrying 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. We did notrecord any impairments of long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2017, and from inception (October 17, 2016) toDecember 31, 2016.

 

F-15

 

RevenueRecognition 

 

TheCompany recognizes revenue from the sales of products or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteriahave been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the feeis fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

TheCompany has not generated any revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017, and from inception (October 17, 2016) to December31, 2016.

 

Stock-BasedCompensation 

 

TheCompany estimates the fair values of share-based payments on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, whichrequires assumptions for the expected volatility of the share price of our common stock, the expected dividend yield, and a risk-freeinterest rate over the expected term of the stock-based financial instrument.

 

Sincethe number of outstanding and free-trading shares of the Company’s common stock is limited and the trading volume is relativelylow, we do not have sufficient company specific information regarding the volatility of our share price on which to base an estimateof expected volatility. As a result, we use the average historical volatilities of similar entities within our industry as theexpected volatility of our share price.

 

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

 

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

 

Forstock-based financial instruments issued to parties other than employees, we use the contractual term of the financial instrumentsas the expected term of the stock-based financial instruments.

 

Theassumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based financial instruments represent our best estimates, but these estimatesinvolve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use differentassumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

 

ConvertibleInstruments

 

TheCompany evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivativesand Hedging Activities.

 

ApplicableGAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivativefinancial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristicsand risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risksof the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract isnot re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separateinstrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

TheCompany accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcatedfrom their host instruments) as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsicvalue of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying commonstock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts underthese arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

 

OperatingLeases

 

TheCompany leases production and warehouse facilities and office space under operating leases. Operating lease agreements may containrent escalation clauses, rent holidays or certain landlord incentives, including tenant improvement allowances. Rent expense withscheduled rent increases or landlord incentives are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, beginning with theeffective lease commencement date, which is generally the date in which the Company takes possession of or controls the physicaluse of the property.

 

F-16

 

IncomeTaxes

 

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

 

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

 

RecentAccounting Pronouncements

 

InDecember 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released accounting guidance for the accounting forincome taxes for the reporting period that includes the enactment of the Tax Act. The Bulletin provides guidance in those situationswhere the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act will be incomplete by the time financial statements are issuedfor the reporting period that includes the enactment date. For those elements of the Tax Act that cannot be reasonably estimated,no effect will be recorded. The SEC has provided in the Bulletin that in situations where the accounting is incomplete for certaineffects of the Tax Act, a measurement period which begins in the reporting period that includes the enactment of the Tax Act andends when the entity has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information is needed in order to complete the accounting requirements.The measurement period shall not exceed one year from enactment.

 

InFebruary 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standard update relatedto accounting for leases. The guidance introduces a lessee model that requires most leases to be reported on the balance sheet.The accounting standard update aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the FASB’snew revenue recognition standard. The guidance also eliminates the requirement in current U.S. GAAP for an entity to use bright-linetests in determining lease classification. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company beginning in thefirst quarter of fiscal 2020, with early adoption in fiscal 2019 permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ofthis accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

InMay 2014, FASB issued guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that anentity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects theconsideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a comprehensiveframework for revenue recognition that supersedes current general revenue guidance and most industry-specific guidance. In addition,the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing,and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. An entity should apply the guidance either retrospectively to each prior reportingperiod presented or retrospectively with the cumulative adjustment at the date of the initial application. In July 2015, the FASBdelayed the effective date of the new guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interimperiods within that reporting period. Early adoption is now permitted after the original effective date of December 15, 2016.The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting the new accounting guidance but does not expect the adoption to have amaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note3 — Reverse Merger

 

OnDecember 15, 2017, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Red Earth LLC, a Nevada limitedliability company (“Red Earth”) established in October 2016, in exchange for 52,732,969 shares of common stock ofthe Company, par value $0.001 and a Promissory Note in the amount of $900,000. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger,whereby Red Earth was considered the accounting acquirer and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of theacquisition, the members of Red Earth became the beneficial owners of approximately 88% of the Company’s common stock immediatelyfollowing the acquisition, obtained controlling interest of the Company, and retained key management positions of the Company.In accordance with the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger,” Red Earth was treated as the “acquiring company”and MJ Holdings was treated as the “acquired company.” The Company’s historical financial statements prior tothe reverse merger were replaced with the historical financial statements of Red Earth prior to the reverse merger in all futurefilings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The consolidated financial statements aftercompletion of the reverse merger will include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined company from andafter the closing date of the reverse merger.

 

F-17

 

Theassets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded from the acquisition of MJ Holdings were recognized at their fair values as ofthe effective acquisition date, December 15, 2017. The following table summarizes the fair values assigned to the assets acquiredand liabilities assumed:

 

   December 15, 2017 
Assets Acquired:

Less: Assumption of existing liability by related party (see Note 7)   400,000 
      
Net Liabilities Acquired  $(503,666)

 

Note4 — Going Concern

 

TheCompany’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assetsand settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In December 2017, the Company acquired 100% ofthe assets and operations of Red Earth, as discussed above in Note 3, and changed its business operations to provide a 360-degreespectrum of infrastructure, construction, cultivation management, production management, distribution consulting and operatingservices to cultivation and production operators in the regulated cannabis industry.

 

Red Earth is a development stage companyestablished in October 2016. The Company’s primary asset is a provisional Medical Marijuana Establishment Registration Certificateissued by the State of Nevada for the cultivation of medical marijuana. There is no assurance on the receipt and/or timing of finalapprovals from the appropriate authorities. The Company has not generated any revenues from inception (October 17, 2016) to December31, 2017 and has an accumulated deficit of $362,521. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’sability to continue as a going concern.

  

During2017, the Company raised $2.6 million through the sale of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share and will continueto raise capital in 2018 to fund the build out and development of our business operations. The Company expects to begin generatingrevenues during the third quarter of 2018 but will likely incur additional net losses during this time period. Although we canprovide no assurances, we believe our cash on hand and our ability to raise additional capital will provide sufficient liquidityand capital resources to fund our business for the next twelve months.

 

Inthe event the Company experiences liquidity and capital resource constraints because of unanticipated operating losses, we mayneed to raise additional capital in the form of equity and/or debt financing. If such additional capital is not available on termsacceptable to us or at all, then we may need to curtail our operations and/or take additional measures to conserve and manageour liquidity and capital resources, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations,and our ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from theoutcome of this uncertainty. 

 

Note 5 — Intangible Assets

 

InOctober 2016, Red Earth entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with the owner of a provisional Medical Marijuana EstablishmentRegistration Certificate (the “Provisional Grow License”) issued by the State of Nevada for the cultivation of medicalmarijuana for $300,000. To initiate the purchase and transfer the Provisional Grow License, the Company paid a $25,000 depositto the seller in October 2016. In February 2017, an investor advanced the Company $350,000 (see Note 7) to fund the purchase ofthe Provisional Grow License.

 

The Provisional Grow License remains in a provisional status until the Company has completed thebuild out 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 and the Company begins the cultivation process, the intangible asset will beamortized over its useful life.

Note6 — Convertible Note Payable Due to Related Party

 

As part of the Reverse Merger transactiondescribed above in Note 3, on December 15, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note payable in the amount of $900,000 to themembers of Red Earth. The managing partner and 50% owner of Red Earth at the time of the transaction was Paris Balaouras, theCompany’s Chief Executive Officer. The convertible note payable is due October 15, 2018. The note is convertible into sharesof the Company’s common stock at the holder’s discretion at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. The note accruesinterest, commencing six months from the issuance date, at a rate equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum. Interestshall be payable on the maturity date or the conversion date, if applicable. 

 

TheCompany assessed the embedded conversion feature of the note payable and determined that the fair value of the underlying commonstock at inception did not exceed the conversion price of the convertible note. Since, at the time the convertible note was issued,the Company’s common stock had limited publicly traded volume, the Company based the fair value of the Company’s commonstock on the sales of the Company’s common stock, which were sold at $0.75 per share, described below in Note 8.

 

Note7 — Note Payable to Fund Acquisition of Provisional Grow License

 

InFebruary 2017, an investor advanced the Company $350,000 to fund the acquisition of the Provisional Grow License discussed abovein Note 5. The Company incurred $14,521 of debt issuance costs in association with the advance. The note, plus a $50,000 fee forconsideration of the advance, was due within sixty days upon approval by the State of Nevada of the transfer of the ProvisionalGrow License to the Company. In December 2017, upon completion of the Reverse Merger discussed above in Note 3, the debt obligation,including the $50,000 fee, was assumed by Paris Balaouras, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company recorded $64,521of interest expense, the $50,000 fee plus the $14,521 of debt issuance costs, during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Note8 — Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

Inconnection with and contemporaneous with the Reverse Merger, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company sold and issuedan aggregate of 2,991,163 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.75 per share for proceeds of $2,243,372as part of an offering of the Company’s securities. In addition, the Company sold $400,000, or 533,333 additional sharesof common stock, as part of the offering, but the shares had not been issued as of December 31, 2017 and were presented in theconsolidated balance sheet as common stock to be issued under the equity section. The proceeds of the common stock sales willbe used to develop certain business opportunities, including but not limited to monetizing the acquired Red Earth assets describeabove in Note 3.

 

Theshares were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”)since, among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering and the securities were acquired for investmentpurposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. Offers and sales were made solelyto persons qualifying as “accredited investors” (as such term is defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D).

 

Thesecurities offered will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the UnitedStates absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Note11 — Income Taxes

 

The Company had no operation in 2016 andhad no net loss carryforward to the year 2017.

 

TheCompany did not incur any federal or state income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Theprovision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would result from applying the federal statutory rate of 34% to theCompany’s loss before income taxes as follows:

 

   December 31, 2017 
Computed “expected” income tax benefit  $(113,828)
State income tax benefit, net of federal benefit   15,209 
Change in valuation allowance   (191,667)
Permanent differences, net   (106,919)
Change in federal income tax rate   120,784 
IRC section 382 limitations on future NOL utilization   249,208 
Write-off of property & equipment deferred tax asset   27,213 
      
Provision for income taxes  $ 

 

Temporarydifferences that give rise to the components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

  

   2017 
Deferred tax assets:     
Deferred expenses  $176,030 
Property and equipment   (65)
Capitalized start-up expenses   48,078 
Deferred tax assets   224,043 
Less: Valuation allowance   (224,043)
Net deferred tax assets  $ 

 

F-20

  

Asof December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any net operating losses for federal or state income tax purposes. All of the federaland state net operating losses incurred through December 15, 2017, are subject to 100 percent limitation under the provisionsof Internal Revenue Code section 382 due to various ownership changes and the continuity of business requirement.

 

TheU.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and introduces significant changes to U.S. incometax law. Effective in 2018, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company’s deferred tax assetswere calculated to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. As of December 31, 2017, managementdetermined a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets of $224,043. In assessing the ability to realize a portionof the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred taxassets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxableincome during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversalof deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the assessment.

 

For2017 and prior years, the Company filed federal and state income tax returns. These returns remain subject to examination by taxingauthorities for all years after December 31, 2013.

 

Note12 — Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

 

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

 

Forthe year ended December 31, 2017, basic and diluted loss per common share were the same since there were no potentially dilutiveshares outstanding during the respective periods. The outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2017, to purchase 166,665 sharesof common stock were not included in the calculations of diluted loss per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Note13 — Subsequent Events

 

InJanuary 2018, the $900,000 convertible note payable due to a related party was repaid in full.

 

FromJanuary 2018 through June 2018, the Company sold and issued an aggregate of 628,667 shares of the Company’s common stockat $0.75 per share for gross proceeds of $471,500. In addition, the Company received $100,000 pursuant to a stock subscriptionagreement to purchase 133,333 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share, but the shares had not been issued as of the filing ofthis Annual Report.

 

InMarch 2018 and June 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,448 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange forprofessional services.

 

InApril 2018, the State of Nevada finalized and approved the transfer of the Provisional Grow License, discussed above in Note 5,to the Company.

In April 2018, the Company entered into a managementagreement with a Nevada company (the “Licensed Operator”) that holds a cultivation license, such that it can lawfullyengage in the cultivation of marijuana for sale under the laws of the State of Nevada. The term of the agreement is for 8 years.The Licensed Operator has engaged the Company to develop, manage, and operate a licensed cultivation facility on 3 acres of propertyowned by the Licensed Operator. The Company, at its sole cost and expense, has agreed to complete the construction of an outdoorgrow facility meeting the local and state building codes and regulations to cultivate marijuana.

 

Upon completion of the build-out of the outdoorgrow facility and obtaining the appropriate approvals from the local and state authorities, the Company has agreed to generatesales of at least $5 million per year from product cultivated from the outdoor grow facility. The Licensed Operator may terminatethe agreement if annual sales fall below the $5 million minimum requirement as defined in the agreement. Prior to the terminationof the agreement by the Licensed Operator, the Company may cure any applicable deficiency by paying 10% of the deficiency to theLicensed Operator.

 

Pursuant to the management agreement, the LicensedOperator will retain 15% of the net revenues generated from product cultivated from the outdoor grow facility and pay 85% of thenet revenues to the Company. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company paid $300,000 to the Licensed Operator as considerationfor the opportunity to construct and manage the outdoor grow facility on the Licensed Operator’s property. In exchange forthe initial consideration, the Licensed Operator has agreed not to retain 15% of the first $2 million of net revenues generatedfrom the outdoor grow facility. In addition, once the outdoor grow facility begins production, the Company has agreed to pay theLicensed Operator $7,000 per month for compliance, security, and other administration costs incurred by the Licensed Operator duringthe term of the agreement.

Item14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Weare a Nevada corporation and generally governed by the Nevada Private Corporations Code, Title 78 of the NRS.

 

Section78.138 of the NRS provides that, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a director or officerwill not be individually liable unless it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions constituteda breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation ofthe law.

 

Section78.7502 of the NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paidin settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding,if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a mannerthe officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminalaction or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful. Section 78.7502of the NRS also precludes indemnification by the corporation if the officer or director has been adjudged by a court of competentjurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation,unless and only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonablyentitled to indemnity for such expenses and requires a corporation to indemnify its officers and directors if they have been successfulon the merits or otherwise in defense of any claim, issue, or matter resulting from their service as a director or officer.

 

Section78.751 of the NRS permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defendinga civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon determinationby the stockholders, the disinterested board members, or by independent legal counsel. Section 78.751 of the NRS provides thatthe articles of incorporation, the bylaws, or an agreement may require a corporation to advance expenses as incurred upon receiptof an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court ofcompetent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation if so provided in thecorporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement. Section 78.751 of the NRS further permits the corporationto grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation, bylaws, or otheragreement.

  

Section78.752 of the NRS provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangementson behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at therequest of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, orother enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director,officer, employee, or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnifyhim against such liability and expenses. We have obtained insurance policies insuring our directors and officers against certainliabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under such policies, the insurer, on our behalf, may alsopay amounts for which we have granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

 

Theforegoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by referenceto the above discussed sections of the NRS.

 

Ourbylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullestextent permitted by the NRS.

Insofaras indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controllingpersons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnificationis against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnificationagainst such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer, or controlling personin the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person inconnection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled bycontrolling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is againstpublic policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. See also the sectionentitled “Undertakings” set forth below.

Item17. Undertakings.

 

(a)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of control of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(b)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controllingpersons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinionof the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act andis, therefore, unenforceable.
