CorporateHistory

 

CryomassTechnologies Inc (“Cryomass Technologies” or the “Company”) began as Auto Tool Technologies Inc., which was incorporatedunder the laws of the State of Nevada on May 10, 2011. The Company’s name was changed to AFC Building Technologies Inc. effectiveJanuary 10, 2014. Effective April 26, 2018, the Company changed its name to First Colombia Development Corp. Effective October 14, 2019,the Company changed its name to Redwood Green Corp. Effective September 1, 2020, the Company changed its name to Andina Gold Corp. OnJuly 15, 2021, the Company entered into a plan of merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cryomass Technologies Inc a Nevada corporation,for the purpose of changing the name of the Company to Cryomass Technologies Inc, effective August 27, 2021. Our ticker symbol changedfrom AGOL to CRYM.

TheCompany’s principal office is located at 1001 Bannock St., Suite 612, Denver, CO 80204, and its telephone number is 303-416-7208.The Company’s website is www.cryomass.com. Information appearing on the website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

TheCompany over its history has explored a number of different business opportunities.

 

OnMay 10, 2018, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding share capital of First Colombia Devco S.A.S. (“Devco”),a Colombian company, and began to establish various business ventures in Colombia in the agriculture and real estate development, tourism,and infrastructure sectors before commencing to phase them out in April 2019.

 

OnJuly 1, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in General Extract, LLC (“General Extract”), a Coloradolimited liability company. General Extract was founded in 2015 as an importer, distributor, broker and postprocessor of hemp and hempderivatives. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests, including business plans and access to contacts.

 

OnJuly 15, 2019, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Good Acquisition Co., entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreementto acquire cannabis-related intellectual property and other assets of Critical Mass Industries LLC DBA Good Meds (“CMI” and/or“Good Meds”), a Colorado limited liability company (“CMI Transaction”). CMI is licensed by the Marijuana EnforcementDivision of Colorado Department of Revenue to produce cannabis and cannabis products under its six licenses. These licenses allow forcultivation, manufacturing of infused products and retail distribution. At the time the Company entered into the Membership InterestPurchase Agreement, Colorado law prohibited public companies, including the Company, from owning cannabis licenses. Therefore, CMI spunoff certain assets acquired by the Company. Under the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, CMI retained the cannabislicense, inventory and accounts receivable (the “Cannabis License Assets”) and continued to operate the cannabis businessrelated to those assets. In consideration for the transfer of the acquired assets, the Company delivered 13,553,233 shares of the Companycommon stock, in addition to $1,999,770 in cash to CMI. 

 

GoodMeds, the operating unit of CMI, is based in Denver, CO, and operates in a 60,000-square-foot cultivation and processing facility. Thisfacility produces cannabis for sale as dry flower and biomass input for processing into Marijuana-Infused Products (“MIP”),such as live resin, wax and budder. Good Meds also owns and operates two medical cannabis dispensaries located in Lakewood, CO and Englewood,CO. The business has been in operation since 2009.

Beginningin March 2020, an evaluation of various strategic alternatives was followed by the decision to sell the Colorado-based assets and refocusits attention on unique opportunities for gold exploration in Colombia. In August 2020, the Company established a wholly owned Colombiansubsidiary, Andina Gold Colombia SAS for this purpose. In December 2020, due to the death of the top geologist exploring opportunitieson behalf of the Company, and the effects of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the Company determined that pursuit of gold explorationin Colombia was no longer a practical alternative. In Q1 2022 the respective subsidiary was closed.

 

OnJune 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Cryocann USA Corp, a California corporation (“Cryocann”),pursuant to which Company acquired substantially all the assets of Cryocann. The aggregate purchase price was $3,500,000 million in cashand 10,000,000 shares of Company common stock. As part of the Cryocann Acquisition, we retained both Cryocann employees, who have expertknowledge of the industry, related participants, customers and the acquired patented technology. Under their employment agreements, eachemployee may receive compensation if specific performance targets are met in association with our future operating performance when theCryocann technology enters the market. The technology and assets acquired from Cryocann are operated from the Company’s subsidiary,Cryomass LLC. The patented cryo-mechanical technology is for the separation of plant materials in the harvesting of hemp and cannabis,and potentially other high value crops such as hops. We believe this technology will reduce processing costs and increases the qualityof extracted compounds. We are exploring the application of the underlying technology to a broad range of industries that handle high-valuematerials and that could benefit from our precision capture methods. We anticipate that cannabis and hemp will be the first in a seriesof such industries.

 

Todevelop and commercialize the technology, we contracted with an independent engineering and manufacturing firm to refine the design ofour cryo-mechanical system for the handling of harvested hemp, cannabis and other high-value plants. The system exploits CryoMass’sU.S.-patented process for the controlled application of liquid nitrogen to stabilize and separate the structural elements of gross plantmaterial. The device currently under development is scaled for highway transportability and is being optimized for the low-cost collectionof fully intact hemp and cannabis trichomes. It can be used within minutes after plants have been cut and can also efficiently capturetrichomes from fresh frozen or even dried plant parts, including trim. The device’s through-put capacity is expected to be approximately600 kilograms of gross plant material per hour. The advanced design for the equipment has been completed, and testing of a prototypemachine is currently underway. The engineering and manufacturing firm has indicated that it has the capacity to build 10 to 15 such devicesper month.

 

InNovember, 2021, we retained a second engineering and manufacturing firm to independently develop a separate machine design that appliesour patented process. We expect their work to help strengthen the power and robustness of our technology. In addition, it opens a channelto a second manufacturing source.

 

Thefirst functional “beta” CryoMass system is ready for field testing by a third-party cannabis producer as of the date hereof.The first production-run machine is expected to be ready for commercial use towards the end of the second quarter 2022. At that moment,we expect to start helping our first tolling client (fee for service) increase their margins by cutting the cost of handling, processingand refining its hemp or cannabis and increasing the resulting material’s value to formulators of end products.

 

CanadianPatent no. 3 064 896 “Cryogenic Separation of Plant Material” was filed on May 25, 2018 by two assignors, who assigned it,among other, various other intellectual property rights, to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as part of the Cryocann June 22,2021 transaction. The respective Canadian patent was granted on April 19, 2022. Provided that all patent maintenance fees are paid, theCanadian patent no. 2 064 896 will expire on May 25, 2038.

 

Managementbelieves the CryoMass system will deliver a compelling combination of cost and time savings while enhancing product quality and quantityfor largescale cultivators and processors of hemp and cannabis. The use of a CryoMass system – which can be trucked to and operatedon the fields of most large hemp and cannabis growers or be permanently installed at a user’s processing facility – shouldeliminate many of the costs that come with traditional practices, especially the labor, fuel and capital costs of drying and curing hempor cannabis that is grown for the extraction of end products. With traditional practices, harvested plants are transported to a speciallyconstructed drying house and then treated for a week or longer under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. It’s acostly method. With our system, harvested plants are simply fed into the front end of a CryoMass machine, and minutes later fully intacttrichomes are collected at the back end of the machine. With traditional practices and their seven-to-ten days of handling and drying,a large share of a plant’s valuable trichomes break off and are lost. Then the remaining trichomes are damaged by long exposureto oxygen and by the evaporation of their volatile terpenes. The CryoMass system, on the other hand, stabilizes and collects fully intacttrichomes at harvest, leaving no opportunity for such wasteful loss. Field-captured trichomes are the cleanest element of a hemp or cannabisplant because, unlike the rest of the plant, trichomes do not readily take up heavy metals, pesticides or other common soil contaminants.As a product for end-users, field-captured trichomes are closest to being contaminant free. As feedstock for manufacturers of extractsand oils, they are the key to the purest products possible.

Becausethe trichomes collected with CryoMass technology represent only 10% or so of a plant’s weight and volume, they are cheaper to shipand store than gross plant material. For the same reason and because trichomes are free of the waxes and other unwanted materials foundin the rest of the plant, processing trichomes into oils and extracts can be far quicker, cheaper and easier than processing gross plantmaterial. Even trichomes captured from dried or frozen plant parts deliver this cost-saving advantage to processors of oils and extracts.The three-dimensional advantage achievable with the CryoMass system – first-stage cost savings, product enhancement and downstreamcost savings – can as much as double a crop’s wholesale value. And in some jurisdictions, users may enjoy a reduction inexcise taxes levied on cannabis and hemp harvests, which typically are tied to the gross weight of hemp or cannabis that is removed fromthe field.

 

MarketSize

 

Productionand processing of hemp and cannabis is a huge, worldwide industry. In the U.S., for example, the wholesale value of the cannabis cropfrom just the 11 states permitting adult-use and medical cannabis exceeds $6 billion annually.1 Growth in the U.S. and in the worldwidemarket is likely fed in part by the growing acceptance of medicinal cannabis products and anticipated legislative changes in variousjurisdictions worldwide.

 

Andthat may only be chapter one of the Company’s story. Several other high-value plants, including species that are important forhealth and wellness products, wrap their valuable elements in trichomes. The technology we are developing for hemp and cannabis may haveprofitable application to those other species as well. We intend to find out.

SmallerReporting Company Status

 

Rule12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) defines a “smaller reporting company”as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smallerreporting company and that:

 

  had a public float of less than $75,000,000 as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or
     
  in the case of an initial registration statement under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $75,000,000 as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or
     
  in the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition was zero, had annual revenues of less than $50,000,000 during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available.

 

Asa smaller reporting company, we will not be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxystatements; we will provide only two years of financial statements; and we need not provide the table of selected financial data. Wealso will have other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reportingcompanies which could make our Common Shares less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our shareholdersto sell their shares.

RISKFACTORS

 

Youshould carefully consider the risks described below together with all other information included in our public filings before makingan investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this Prospectus that are not historicfacts are forward- looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially fromthose set forth in or implied by forward- looking statements. While the risks described below are the ones we believe are most importantfor you to consider, these risks are not the only ones that we face. If any of the following events described in these risk factors actuallyoccurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our Common Sharescould decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

GeneralRisk Factors

 

Wehave a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to accurately assess our future growth prospects.

 

Althoughwe believe our management team has extensive knowledge of the cannabis industry and closely monitors changes in legislation, we alsointend to provide equipment and services in an evolving industry that may not develop as expected. Furthermore, our operations continueto evolve under our business plan as we continually assess new strategic opportunities for our business within our industry. Assessingthe future prospects of our business is challenging in light of both known and unknown risks and difficulties we may encounter. Growthprospects in our industry can be affected by a wide variety of factors including:

 

Competition from other similar companies;

 

Regulatory limitations on the industry we primarily supply to (cannabis agriculture) we can offer and markets we can serve;

 

Other changes in the regulation of cannabis and hemp grow, harvesting and processing;

 

Changes in cannabis industry demand and consumer behavior, which may affect the size of the agricultural businesses we intend to serve;

 

Our ability to access adequate financing on reasonable terms and our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our operations;

 

Challenges with new machinery, services and markets; and

 

Fluctuations in the commodities markets.

 

Wemay not be able to successfully address these factors, which could negatively impact our growth, harm our business and cause our operatingresults to be worse than expected.

 

Oursuccess depends on the introduction of new products, which requires substantial expenditures.

 

Ourlong-term results depend upon our ability to introduce and market new products successfully. The success of our new products will dependon a number of factors, including:

 

  innovation;

 

  customer acceptance;

 

  the efficiency of our suppliers in providing component parts and of our contract manufacturing facilities in producing final products; and

 

  the performance and quality of our products relative to those of our competitors.

 

Wecannot predict the level of market acceptance or the amount of market share our new products will achieve. We may experience delays inthe introduction of new products. Any delays or other problems with our new product launches will adversely affect our performance. Inaddition, introducing new products can result in decreases in revenues from our existing products. We expect to make substantial investmentsin product development and refinement. We may need more funding for product development and refinement than is readily available, whichcould adversely affect our business.

 

6

 

  

Weface significant competition, and, if we are unable to compete successfully against other agricultural equipment manufacturers, we willlose customers and our net sales and profitability will decline.

 

Theagricultural equipment business is highly competitive, particularly in the United States. Established and substantially larger agriculturalequipment manufacturers, with substantially greater financial and other resources, have the capability to compete with us successfully.Our competitors may substantially increase the resources devoted to the development and marketing of products that compete with our products.In addition, competitive pressures in the agricultural equipment business may affect the market prices of new and used equipment, which,in turn, may adversely affect our performance.

 

Wewill require significant additional capital to fund our business plan.

 

TheCompany will be required to expend significant funds to implement its business plan. The Company anticipates that it will be requiredto make substantial capital expenditures for the manufacture of its equipment.

 

TheCompany’s ability to obtain necessary funding for these purposes, in turn, depends upon a number of factors, including the statusof the national and worldwide economy and the financial markets and the availability of capital. Capital markets worldwide were adverselyaffected by substantial losses by financial institutions, caused by investments in asset-backed securities and remnants from those lossescontinue to impact the ability for the Company to raise capital. The Company may not be successful in obtaining the required financingor, if it can obtain such financing, such financing may not be on terms that are favorable to us.

 

TheCompany’s inability to access sufficient capital for its operations could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition,results of operations, or prospects. Sales of substantial amounts of securities may have a highly dilutive effect on the Company’sownership or share structure. Sales of a large number of shares of the Company’s Common Shares in the public markets, or the potentialfor such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Common Shares and could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital throughfuture sales of Common Shares.

 

International,national and regional trade laws, regulations and policies and government farm programs and policies could significantly impair our profitabilityand growth prospects.

 

International,national and regional laws, regulations and policies directly or indirectly related to or restricting the import and export of the Company’sproducts, services and technology, including protectionist policies in particular jurisdictions or for the benefit of favored industriesor sectors, could harm the Company’s ability to grow in international markets and subject the Company to civil and criminal sanctions.Restricted access to global markets impairs the Company’s ability to export goods and services from its various manufacturing locationsaround the world, and limits the ability to access raw materials and high-quality parts and components at competitive prices on a timelybasis. Trade restrictions could limit the Company’s ability to capitalize on future growth opportunities in international marketsand impair the Company’s ability to expand the business by offering new technologies, products and services. These restrictionsmay affect the Company’s competitive position. Additionally, changes in government farm programs and policies, including restrictionson cannabis and hemp cultivation and processing, can significantly influence demand for agricultural equipment.

 

Changingdemand for certain agricultural products could have an effect on the price of farming output and consequently the demand for certainof our equipment and could also result in higher research and development costs related to changing machine requirements.

  

Negativeeconomic conditions and outlook can materially weaken demand for our equipment and services, limit access to funding and result in higherfunding costs.

 

Thedemand for the Company’s products and services can be significantly reduced in an economic environment characterized by high unemployment,cautious consumer spending, lower corporate earnings, U.S. budget issues and lower business investment. Negative or uncertain economicconditions causing the Company’s customers to lack confidence in the general economic outlook can significantly reduce their likelihoodof purchasing the Company’s equipment. If negative economic conditions affect the overall farm economy, there could be a similareffect on the Company’s agricultural equipment sales. In addition, uncertain or negative outlook with respect to ongoing U.S. budgetissues as well as general economic conditions and outlook can cause significant changes in market liquidity conditions. Such changescould impact access to funding and associated funding costs, which could reduce the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Such changescould affect the ability of the Company’s customers, contract manufacturers, suppliers and lenders to finance their respectivebusinesses, to access liquidity at acceptable financing costs, if at all, the availability of supplies, materials and manufacturing facilitiesand on the demand for the Company’s products.

Wemay encounter difficulties in fully exploiting the assets we acquired from Cryocann USA Corp and may not fully achieve, or achieve withina reasonable time frame, expected strategic objectives and other expected benefits of the acquisitions.

 

Ourrecent acquisition of Cryocann USA Corp assets is expected to realize strategic and other benefits, including, among other things, theopportunity to enter the agricultural equipment industry, identify customers and provide our customers with an appealing range of productsand services. However, it is impossible to predict with certainty whether, or to what extent, these benefits will be realized or whetherwe will be able to exploit the acquired assets in a timely and effective manner. For example:

 

  the costs of using the assets in developing and manufacturing agricultural equipment may be higher than we expect and may require significant attention from our management;

 

  the asset acquisition and subsequent exploitation of the assets may result in as of yet unidentified liabilities, such as infringement of third parties’ intellectual property, environmental liabilities or liabilities for violations of laws, such as the FCPA, that we did not expect;

 

  our ability to successfully carry out our growth strategies with the help of the acquired assets will be affected by, among other things, our ability to maintain and enhance our relationships with potential customers, our ability to manufacture and distribution products, changes in the spending patterns and preferences of customers and potential customers, fluctuating economic and competitive conditions and our ability to retain their key personnel;

 

  litigation or other claims in connection with the acquired assets, including claims from Cryocann USA Corp customers, current or former shareholders or other third parties; and

 

  our due diligence of Cryocann USA Corp may have failed to identify all liabilities associated with the acquisition. Further, the acquired assets consisted primarily of intellectual property, which does not have a market value, and we may not have correctly assessed the relative benefits and detriments of making the acquisition and may have pay acquisition consideration exceeding the value of the acquired assets.

 

Furtheracquisitions may be necessary to realize our overall corporate strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify appropriateacquisition targets, successfully acquire identified targets or successfully integrate the business of acquired companies or the assetsacquired to realize the full, anticipated benefits of such acquisitions. Our ability to address these issues will determine the extentto which we are able to successfully integrate, exploit and develop the acquired assets and to realize the expected benefits of the CryocannUSA Corp. transactions. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our performance following the transaction

 

Ourbusiness results depend largely on its ability to understand its customers’ specific preferences and requirements, and to develop,manufacture and market products that meet customer demand.

 

TheCompany’s ability to match new product offerings to customers’ anticipated preferences for different types and sizes of equipmentand various equipment features and functionality, at affordable prices, is critical to its success. This requires a thorough understandingof the Company’s potential customers and their needs, as well as an understanding of the cannabis and hemp cultivation dynamicsand of other agricultural commodities cultivation dynamics. Failure to deliver quality products that meet customer needs at competitiveprices ahead of competitors could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business.

 

Ourbusiness may be directly and indirectly affected by unfavorable weather conditions or natural disasters that reduce agricultural productionand demand for agriculture equipment.

 

Pooror unusual weather conditions can significantly affect the purchasing decisions of the Company’s potential customers. Natural calamitiessuch as regional floods, hurricanes or other storms, and droughts can have significant negative effects on agricultural production. Theresulting negative impact on farm income can strongly affect demand for agricultural equipment.

Changesin the availability and price of certain raw materials, components and whole goods could result in production disruptions or increasedcosts and lower profits on sales of our products.

 

TheCompany requires access to various materials and components at competitive prices to manufacture and distribute its products. Changesin the availability and price of these materials and components, which have fluctuated in the past and are more likely to fluctuate duringtimes of economic volatility, can significantly increase the costs of production which could have a material negative effect on the profitabilityof the business, particularly if the Company, due to pricing considerations or other factors, is unable to recover the increased costsfrom its customers. The Company relies on suppliers and contract manufacturers to acquire materials and components to manufacture itsproducts. Supply chain and contract manufacturing disruptions due to supplier or contract manufacturer financial distress, capacity constraints,business continuity, quality, delivery or disruptions due to weather-related or natural disaster events could affect the Company’soperations and profitability.

 

Indetermining the required quantities of our products and the manufacturing schedule, we must make significant judgments and estimatesthat are not based on any historical data. Because of the inherent nature of estimates, there could be significant differences betweenour estimates and the actual amounts of products we require, which could harm our business and results of operations.

 

Theagricultural equipment industry is highly seasonal, and seasonal fluctuations may significantly impact our performance.

 

Theagricultural equipment business is highly seasonal, which may cause our quarterly results and our cash flow to fluctuate during the year.Farmers generally purchase agricultural equipment seasonally in conjunction with the harvesting seasons. Seasonal fluctuations can significantlyimpact our performance in a specific quarter, or overall.

 

Ifwe are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan and our business may fail.

 

Ourfuture success depends to a large extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualified managerial, operational and otherpersonnel. We face significant competition for qualified and experienced employees in our industry and from other industries and, asa result, we may be unable to attract and retain the personnel needed to successfully conduct and grow our operations. Additionally,key personnel, including members of management, may leave and compete against us. At present, we do not have all the necessary personnelto carry out our business plans. If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, our business will be materially adversely affected.

  

Ourgrowth is highly dependent on the U.S. cannabis and hemp markets. New regulations causing licensing shortages and future regulationsmay create other limitations that decrease the demand for our products. General regulations at state and federal in the future may adverselyimpact our business.

 

Thebase of cannabis growers in the U.S. has grown over the past 20 years since the legalization of cannabis for medical uses in states suchas California, Colorado and Washington. The U.S. cannabis market is still in its infancy and early adopter states such as California,Colorado and Washington represent a large portion of historical industry revenues. The U.S. cannabis cultivation market is expected tobe one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. over the next five years. If the U.S. cannabis cultivation market does not growas expected, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted. The California cannabis cultivationmarket is expected to be one of the fastest growing industries in California over the next five years. If the California cannabis cultivationmarket does not grow as expected, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

 

Cannabisremains illegal under U.S. federal law, with cannabis listed as a Schedule I substance under the United States Controlled SubstancesAct of 1970 (the “CSA”). Notwithstanding laws in various states permitting certain cannabis activities, all cannabis activities,including possession, distribution, processing and manufacturing of cannabis and investment in, and financial services or transactionsinvolving proceeds of, or promoting such activities remain illegal under various U.S. federal criminal and civil laws and regulations,including the CSA, as well as laws and regulations of several states that have not legalized some or any cannabis activities to date.Compliance with applicable state laws regarding cannabis activities does not protect us from federal prosecution or other enforcementaction, such as seizure or forfeiture remedies, nor does it provide any defense to such prosecution or action. Cannabis activities conductedin or related to conduct in multiple states may potentially face a higher level of scrutiny from federal authorities. Penalties for violatingfederal drug, conspiracy, aiding, abetting, bank fraud and/or money laundering laws may include prison, fines, and seizure/forfeitureof property used in connection with cannabis activities, including proceeds derived from such activities.

Weare not currently subject directly to any state laws or regulations controlling participants in the legal cannabis industry. However,regulation of the cannabis industry does impact our potential customers in the cultivation industry and, accordingly, there can be noassurance that changes in regulation of the industry and more rigorous enforcement by federal authorities will not have a material adverseeffect on us.

 

Legislationand regulations pertaining to the use and cultivation of cannabis are enacted on both the state and federal government level within theUnited States. As a result, the laws governing the cultivation and use of cannabis may be subject to change. Any new laws and regulationslimiting the use or cultivation of cannabis and any enforcement actions by state and federal governments could indirectly reduce demandfor our products and may impact our current and planned future operations.

 

Evolvingfederal and state laws and regulations pertaining to the use or cultivation of cannabis, as well active enforcement by federal or stateauthorities of the laws and regulations governing the use and cultivation of cannabis may indirectly and adversely affect our business,our revenues and our profits. Local, state and federal cannabis laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations,which could require the end users of certain of our products or us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or to alterour respective business plans. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business andresult in a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.

 

Certainof our products may be purchased for use for agricultural products other than cannabis and/or be subject to varying, inconsistent, andrapidly changing laws, regulations, administrative practices, enforcement approaches, judicial interpretations, future scientific researchand public perception.

 

Thepublic’s perception of cannabis may significantly impact the cannabis industry’s success. Both the medical and adult-useof cannabis are controversial topics, and there is no guarantee that future scientific research, publicity, regulations, medical opinion,and public opinion relating to cannabis will be favorable. The cannabis industry is an early-stage business that is constantly evolvingwith no guarantee of viability. Among other things, such a shift in public opinion could cause state jurisdictions to abandon initiativesor proposals to legalize cultivation and sale of cannabis or adopt new laws or regulations restricting or prohibiting the cultivationof cannabis where it is now legal, thereby limiting the potential customers who are engaged in the cannabis industry.

 

Demandfor our products may be negatively impacted depending on how laws, regulations, administrative practices, enforcement approaches, judicialinterpretations, and consumer perceptions develop. We cannot predict the nature of such developments or the effect, if any, that suchdevelopments could have on our business.

  

Ourindirect involvement in the cannabis industry could affect the public’s perception of us and be detrimental to our reputation.

 

Damageto our reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity,whether true or not. Cannabis has often been associated with various other narcotics, violence and criminal activities, the risk of whichis that our retailers and resellers that transact with cannabis businesses might attract negative publicity. There is also risk thatthe action(s) of other participants, companies and service providers in the cannabis industry may negatively affect the reputation ofthe industry as a whole and thereby negatively impact our reputation. The increased use of social media and other web-based tools usedto generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for individualsand groups to communicate and share opinions and views with regard to cannabis companies and their activities, whether true or not andthe cannabis industry in general, whether true or not. We do not ultimately have direct control over how the cannabis industry and itssuppliers is perceived by others. Reputation loss may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing andmaintaining community relations and an impediment to our overall ability to advance its business strategy and realize on its growth prospects,thereby having a material adverse impact on our business.

Businessesinvolved in the cannabis industry, and investments in such businesses, are subject to a variety of laws and regulations related to moneylaundering, financial recordkeeping and proceeds of crimes.

 

Wesell our products through third party retailers and resellers. Investments in the U.S. cannabis industry are subject to a variety oflaws and regulations that involve money laundering, financial recordkeeping and proceeds of crime, including the BSA, as amended by thePatriot Act, other anti-money laundering laws, and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforcedby governmental authorities in the United States. In February 2014, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Treasury Departmentissued a memorandum (the “FinCEN Memo”) providing guidance to banks seeking to provide services to cannabis businesses. TheFinCEN Memo outlines circumstances under which banks may provide services to cannabis businesses without risking prosecution for violationof U.S. federal money laundering laws. It refers to supplementary guidance that Deputy Attorney General Cole issued to U.S. federal prosecutorsrelating to the prosecution of U.S. money laundering offenses predicated on cannabis violations of the CSA and outlines extensive duediligence and reporting requirements, which most banks have viewed as onerous. The FinCEN Memo currently remains in place, but it isunclear at this time whether the current administration will continue to follow the guidelines of the FinCEN Memo. Such requirementscould negatively affect the ability of certain of the end users of our products to establish and maintain banking connections.

 

Weare subject to extensive anti-corruption laws and regulations.

 

TheCompany’s foreign operations, if and when established, must comply with all applicable laws, which may include the U.S. ForeignCorrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act or other anti-corruption laws. These anti-corruption laws generally prohibit companiesand their intermediaries from making improper payments or providing anything of value to improperly influence government officials orprivate individuals for the purpose of obtaining or retaining a business advantage regardless of whether those practices are legal orculturally expected in a particular jurisdiction. Recently, there has been a substantial increase in the global enforcement of anti-corruptionlaws. Although the Company has a compliance program in place designed to reduce the likelihood of potential violations of such laws,violations of these laws could result in criminal or civil sanctions and have an adverse effect on the Company’s reputation, businessand results of operations and financial condition.

 

Ourbusiness, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by pandemic infectious diseases, particularly the recentnovel coronavirus strain known as COVID-19.

 

Pandemicinfectious diseases, such as the current COVID-19 strains, may adversely impact our business, consolidated results of operations andfinancial condition. The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant volatility and uncertainty and economic disruption. The extentto which COVID-19 impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not beable to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actionsthat have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions takenin response; the effect on our customers and customer demand our services, products and solutions; our ability to sell and provide itsservices and solutions, including as a result of travel restrictions and people working from home; the ability of our customers to payfor our services and solutions; and any closures of our offices and the offices and facilities of our customers. COVID-19, as well asmeasures taken by governmental authorities to limit the spread of this virus, may interfere with the ability of our employees, suppliers,and other business providers to carry out their assigned tasks or supply materials or services at ordinary levels of performance relativeto the requirements of our business, which may cause us to materially curtail certain of our business operations. We require additionalfunding and such funding may not be available to us as a result of contracting capital markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.Any of these events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or stock price.

 

Naturaldisasters, pandemic outbreaks or other health crises could disrupt business and result in lower sales and otherwise adversely affectour financial performance.

 

Theoccurrence of one or more natural disasters, climate change, pandemic outbreaks or other health crises (including but not limited tothe COVID-19 outbreak), could adversely affect our business and financial performance. If any of these events result in the closure ofone or more of our dispensaries, extended sick leave involving our personnel, or impact key suppliers, our operations and financial performancecould be materially adversely affected through an inability to provide other support functions to our stores and through lost sales.These events also could affect consumer shopping patterns or prevent customers from reaching our dispensaries, which could lead to lostsales and higher markdowns, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a market, the temporary or long-term disruption of productavailability in our dispensaries and the temporary or long-term inability to obtain technology needed to effectively run our business.

Ourbusiness may be impacted by geopolitical events, war, terrorism, and other related business interruptions.

 

War,terrorism, geopolitical uncertainties, and other related business interruptions have caused and could cause damage or disruption to internationalcommerce and the global economy, and thus could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its suppliers, logistics providers, manufacturingvendors and customers. The Company’s business operations are subject to interruption by, among others, disasters, whether as aresult of war, refugee crises, fire, power shortages, nuclear power plant accidents and other industrial accidents, terrorist attacksand other hostile acts, labor disputes, and other events beyond its control. Such events could decrease demand for the Company’sproducts, make it difficult or impossible for the Company to develop, prototype, make and deliver products to its customers or to receivecomponents from its suppliers, and create delays and inefficiencies in the Company’s supply chain. While the Company’s suppliersare expected to maintain safe working environments and operations, an industrial accident could occur and could result in disruptionto the Company’s business and harm to the Company’s reputation. In any event of business interruption, the Company couldincur significant losses, require substantial recovery time and experience significant expenditures in order to resume operations.

 

Securitybreaches and other disruptions to our information technology infrastructure could interfere with our operations and could compromisethe Company’s and its customers’ and suppliers’ information, exposing us to liability that would cause the Company’sbusiness and reputation to suffer.

 

Inthe ordinary course of business, the Company relies upon information technology networks and systems, some of which are managed by thirdparties, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities,including supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, invoicing and collection of payments from intermediaries or other purchasers orlessees of our equipment. We use information technology systems to record, process and summarize financial information and results ofoperations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with regulatory financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. Additionally,we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, proprietary business information and the proprietary business informationof the Company’s customers and suppliers, as well as personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, in thirdparty data centers, “cloud” providers and on information technology networks. The secure operation of these information technologynetworks, and the processing and maintenance of this information is critical to the Company’s business operations and strategy.Such third parties, as well as the Company’s information technology networks, cloud and infrastructure may be vulnerable to damage,disruptions or shutdowns due to attacks by hackers or breaches due to employee error or malfeasance or other disruptions during the processof upgrading or replacing computer software or hardware, power outages, computer viruses, telecommunication or utility failures or naturaldisasters or other catastrophic events. The occurrence of any of these events could compromise the respective storage networks, datacenters or cloud, and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosureor other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under laws protecting theprivacy of personal information, disrupt operations, and damage our reputation, which could adversely affect the Company’s business.

 

Oursuppliers, contract manufacturers and customers are subject to and affected by increasingly rigorous environmental, health and safetylaws and regulations of federal, state and local authorities in the U.S. and various regulatory authorities with jurisdiction overthe Company’s operations. In addition, private civil litigation on these subjects has increased, primarily in the U.S.

 

Enforcementactions arising from violations of environmental, health and safety laws or regulations can lead to investigation and defense costs,and result in significant fines or penalties. In addition, new or more stringent requirements of governmental authorities could preventor restrict the Company’s operations, or those of our suppliers and customers, require significant expenditures to achieve complianceand/or give rise to civil or criminal liability. There can be no assurance that violations of such legislation and/or regulations, orprivate civil claims for damages to property or personal injury arising from the environmental, health or safety impacts of our operations,or those of our suppliers and customers, would not have consequences that result in a material adverse effect on our business, financialcondition or results of operations.

 

Increasinglystringent engine emission standards could impact our ability to manufacture and distribute certain equipment, which could negativelyaffect business results.

 

TheCompany’s equipment operations must meet increasingly stringent engine emission reduction standards, including USEPA, Interim Tier4/Stage IIIb and Final Tier 4/Stage IV non-road diesel emission requirements in the U.S. and European Union.

 

12

 

 

Wemay incur increased costs due to new or more stringent greenhouse gas emission standards designed to address climate change and couldbe further impacted by physical effects attributed to climate change on its facilities, suppliers and customers.

 

Thereis a growing political and scientific consensus that emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) continue to alter the composition of Earth’satmosphere in ways that are affecting and are expected to continue to affect the global climate. These considerations may lead to international,national, regional or local legislative or regulatory responses in the future. Various stakeholders, including legislators and regulators,shareholders and non-governmental organizations, as well as companies in many business sectors, including the Company, are consideringways to reduce GHG emissions. The regulation of GHG emissions from certain stationary or mobile sources could result in additional coststo the Company or its suppliers in the form of taxes or emission allowances, facilities improvements and energy costs, which would increaseour operating costs through higher contract manufacturing, utility, transportation and materials costs. Increased input costs and compliance-relatedcosts could also impact customer operations and demand for our equipment. Because the impact of any future GHG legislative, regulatoryor product standard requirements on our businesses and products is dependent on the timing and design of mandates or standards, the Companyis unable to predict its potential impact at this time.

 

Furthermore,the potential physical impacts of climate change on our suppliers and customers and therefore on our operations are highly uncertainand will be particular to the circumstances developing in various geographical regions. These may include long-term changes in temperaturelevels and water availability. These potential physical effects may adversely impact the demand for the Company’s products andthe cost, production, sales and financial performance of the Company’s operations.

 

Ourbusiness increasingly is subject to regulations relating to privacy and data protection, and if we violate any of those regulations,we could be subject to significant claims, penalties and damages.

 

Increasingly,the United States, the European Union and other governmental entities are imposing regulations designed to protect the collection, maintenanceand transfer of personal information. For example, the European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”)that imposes stringent data protection requirements and greater penalties for non-compliance beginning in May 2018. The GDPR also protectsa broader set of personal information than traditionally has been protected in the United States and provides for a right of “erasure.”Other regulations govern the collection and transfer of financial data and data security generally. These regulations generally imposepenalties in the event of violations. While we attempt to comply with all applicable cybersecurity regulations, their implementationis complex, and, if we are not successful, we may be subject to penalties and claims for damages from regulators and the impacted individuals.

 

RisksRelating to Our Intellectual Property

 

Recentlaws make it difficult to predict how patents will be issued or enforced in our industry.

 

Changesin either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States and other countries may have a significant impacton our ability to protect our technology and enforce our intellectual property rights. There have been numerous recent changes to thepatent laws and to the rules of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), which may have a significantimpact on our ability to protect our technology and enforce our intellectual property rights. For example, the Leahy-Smith America InventsAct, which was signed into law in 2011, includes a transition from a “first-to-invent” system to a “first-to-file”system, and changes the way issued patents can be challenged. Certain changes, such as the institution of inter partes review and post-grantand derivation proceedings, came into effect in 2012. Substantive changes to patent law associated with the Leahy-Smith America InventsAct may affect our ability to obtain patents, and, if obtained, to enforce or defend them in litigation or inter partes review, or post-grantor derivation proceedings, all of which could harm our business.

 

Wemay not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to our business.

 

Ourability to compete effectively depends in part on our rights to trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights we own. Wehave not sought to register every one of our intellectual properties either in the United States or in every country in which such intellectualproperty may be used. Furthermore, because of the differences in foreign trademark, patent and other intellectual property or proprietaryrights laws, we may not receive the same protection in other countries as we would in the United States with respect to the registeredbrand names and issued patents we hold. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, proprietary information and/or brand names,we could suffer a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

13

 

 

Litigationmay be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary information, or to defend against claims bythird parties that our products or services infringe their intellectual property rights. Any litigation or claims brought by or againstus could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. A successful claim of trademark, patent or other intellectual propertyinfringement against us, or any other successful challenge to the use of our intellectual property, could subject us to damages or preventus from providing certain products or services, or using certain of our recognized brand names, which could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Obtainingand maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submissions, fee payment and other requirementsimposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for noncompliance with these requirements.

 

Periodicmaintenance or annuity fees on any issued patents are due to be paid to the USPTO, and/or foreign patent agencies in several stages overthe lifetime of the patent. The USPTO and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural,documentary, fee payments and other similar provisions during the patent application process. While an inadvertent or unintentional lapsecan in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations inwhich noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss ofpatent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Noncompliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent applicationinclude, but are not limited to, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, nonpayment of fees and failureto properly legalize and submit formal documents. If we or our licensors fail to maintain the patents and patent applications coveringour products, our competitors might be able to enter the market, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Fromtime to time, we may need to rely on licenses to proprietary technologies, which may be difficult or expensive to obtain or we may losecertain licenses which may be difficult to replace, harming our competitive position.

 

Wemay need to obtain licenses to patents and other proprietary rights held by third parties to develop, manufacture and market our products,if, for example, we sought to develop our products, in conjunction with any patented technology. If we are unable to timely obtain theselicenses on commercially reasonable terms and maintain these licenses, our ability to commercially market our products, may be inhibitedor prevented, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Inspite of our best efforts, our licensors might conclude that we have materially breached our license agreements and might therefore terminatethe license agreements, thereby removing our ability to develop and commercialize products and technology covered by these license agreements.If these in-licenses are terminated, or if the underlying patents fail to provide the intended exclusivity, competitors may have thefreedom to market products identical to ours.

 

Thirdparties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which wouldbe uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business.

 

Oursuccess depends upon our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our products, and to use our proprietary technologies withoutinfringing the proprietary rights of third parties. We may become party to, or threatened with, future adversarial proceedings or litigationregarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products and technology, including interference or derivation proceedingsand various other post-grant proceedings before the USPTO and/or non-United States opposition proceedings. Third parties may assert infringementclaims against us based on existing patents or patents that may be granted in the future. As a result of any such infringement claims,or to avoid potential claims, we may choose or be compelled to seek intellectual property licenses from third parties. These licensesmay not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if we are able to obtain a license, the license would likely obligate us topay license fees, royalties, minimum royalties and/or milestone payments and the rights granted to us could be nonexclusive, which wouldmean that our competitors may be able to obtain licenses to the same intellectual property. Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializinga product and/or technology or be forced to cease some aspect of our business operations if, as a result of actual or threatened infringementclaims, we are unable to enter into licenses of the relevant intellectual property on acceptable terms. Further, if we attempt to modifya product and/or technology or to develop alternative methods or products in response to infringement claims or to avoid potential claims,we could incur substantial costs, encounter delays in product introductions or interruptions in sales.

 

14

 

  

Intellectualproperty rights do not necessarily address all potential threats to our competitive advantage.

 

Thedegree of future protection afforded by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations,and may not adequately protect our business, or permit us to maintain our competitive advantage. The following examples are illustrative:

 

  Others may be able to construct products that are similar to our products but that are not covered by the claims of the patents that we own or have exclusively licensed;

 

  We or our licensors or strategic collaborators, if any, might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by the issued patent or pending patent application that we own or have exclusively licensed;

 

  We or our licensors or strategic collaborators, if any, might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of our inventions;

 

  Others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies without infringing our intellectual property rights;

 

  It is possible that our pending patent applications will not lead to issued patents;

 

  Issued patents that we own or have exclusively licensed may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be held invalid or unenforceable, as a result of legal challenges by our competitors;

 

  Our competitors might conduct research and development activities in countries where we do not have patent rights and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for sale in our major commercial markets;

 

  We may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable; and

 

  The patents of others may have an adverse effect on our business.

 

Shouldany of these events occur, they could significantly harm our business, results of operations and prospects.

 

Wemay be subject to claims that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.

 

Althoughwe try to ensure that our employees do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subjectto claims that we or these employees have used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information,of any such employee’s former employer. We are not aware of any threatened or pending claims related to these matters or concerningagreements with our employees, but in the future litigation may be necessary to defend against such claims. If we fail in defending anysuch claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successfulin defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.

 

Intellectualproperty disputes could cause us to spend substantial resources and distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities.

 

Evenif resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significantexpenses and could distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of theresults of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these resultsto be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the value of our common stock. Such litigation or proceedings could substantiallyincrease our operating losses and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing or distributionactivities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to adequately conduct such litigation or proceedings. Some of ourcompetitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their greaterfinancial resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could havea material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace.

RisksRelated to the Common Shares

 

TheCompany’s Common Share price may be volatile and as a result investor could lose all or part of their investment.

 

Inaddition to volatility associated with equity securities in general, the value of an investor’s investment could decline due tothe impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of the Common Shares:

 

  disappointing results from the Company’s operations or financing activities;

 

  decline in demand for its Common Shares;

 

  downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions;

 

  technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies;

 

  investor perception of the Company’s industry or its prospects; and

 

  general economic trends.

 

OurCommon Share price on the OTCQB has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Stock markets in general have experiencedextreme price and volume fluctuations, and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelatedto operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares. As a result, an investor may be unable to sellany Common Shares such investor acquires at a desired price.

 

Potentialfuture sales under Rule 144 may depress the market price for our Common Shares.

 

Ingeneral, under Rule 144, a person who has satisfied a minimum holding period of between 6 months and one-year and any other applicablerequirements of Rule 144, may thereafter sell such shares publicly. A significant number of the Company’s currently issued andoutstanding Common Shares held by existing shareholders, including officers and directors and other principal shareholders, are currentlyeligible for resale pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144. The possible future sale of the Company’s CommonShares by its existing shareholders, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144, may have a depressive effect on theprice of its Common Shares in the over-the-counter market.

 

TheCompany’s Common Shares currently deemed a “penny stock”, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell theirCommon Shares.

 

TheSEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than$5.00 per Common Share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per Common Share, subject to certain exceptions. The Company’s ssecurities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to personsother than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generallyto institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, exclusive of their principalresidence, or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in aform prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. Thebroker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealerand its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’saccount. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customerorally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’sconfirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from theserules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser andreceive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing thelevel of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these pennystock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade its securities. The Company believes that the penny stock rules may discourageinvestor interest in and limit the marketability of its Common Shares.

TheCompany has never paid dividends on its Common Shares.

 

TheCompany has not paid dividends on its Common Shares to date, and it does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. TheCompany intends to retain its initial earnings, if any, to finance its operations. Any future dividends on Common Shares will dependupon the Company’s earnings, its then-existing financial requirements, and other factors, and will be at the discretion of theBoard.

 

FINRAhas adopted sales practice requirements, which may also limit an investor’s ability to buy and sell the Company’s CommonShares.

 

Inaddition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investmentto a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior torecommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtaininformation about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretationsof these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at leastsome customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy the Company’sCommon Shares, which may limit an investor’s ability to buy and sell its stock and have an adverse effect on the market for theCommon Shares.

 

Investors’interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share of Common Shares if we issueadditional employee/director/consultant options or if we sell additional Common Shares and/or warrants to finance its operations.

 

Inorder to further expand the Company’s operations and meet its objectives, any additional growth and/or expanded business activitywill likely need to be financed through sale of and issuance of additional Common Shares. The Company will also in the future grant tosome or all of its directors, officers, and key employees and/or consultants options to purchase Common Shares as non-cash incentives.The issuance of any equity securities could, and the issuance of any additional Common Shares will, cause the Company’s existingshareholders to experience dilution of their ownership interests.

 

Ifthe Company issues additional Common Shares or decides to enter into joint ventures with other parties in order to raise financing throughthe sale of equity securities, investors’ interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their netbook value per share of Common Shares depending on the price at which such securities are sold.

 

Theissuance of additional shares of Common Shares may negatively impact the trading price of the Company’s securities.

 

Wehave issued Common Shares in the past and will continue to issue Common Shares to finance our activities in the future. In addition,newly issued or outstanding options and warrants to purchase Common Shares may be exercised, resulting in the issuance of additionalCommon Shares. Any such issuance of additional Common Shares would result in dilution to the Company’s shareholders, and even theperception that such an issuance may occur could have a negative impact on the trading price of the Common Shares.

Theissuance of a large number of shares of our Common Stock could significantly dilute existing stockholders and negatively impact the marketprice of our Common Stock.

 

OnJanuary 6, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, with Peak One providing that, upon the terms and subject to theconditions thereof, Peak One is committed to purchase, on an unconditional basis, shares of Common Stock (“Put Shares”) atan aggregate price of up to $10 million over the course of the commitment period. Pursuant to the terms of the equity purchase agreement,the purchase price for each of the Put Shares equals 89% of the Market Price on such date on which the Purchase Price is calculated.The Market Price is defined in the EPA as the lesser of the (i) closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on theTrading Day immediately preceding the respective Put Date, or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of the Common Shares on the PrincipalMarket for any Trading Day during the Valuation Period. The Valuation Period is defined as the period of seven (7) Trading Days immediatelyfollowing the Clearing Date associated with the applicable Put Notice. The Valuation Period begins on the first Trading Day followingthe Clearing Date. As a result, if we sell shares of Common Stock under the equity purchase agreement, we will be issuing Common Stockat below market prices, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline, and if such issuances are significant in number,the amount of the decline in our market price could also be significant. In general, we are unlikely to sell shares of Common Stock underthe equity purchase agreement at a time when the additional dilution to stockholders would be substantial unless we are unable to obtaincapital to meet our financial obligations from other sources on better terms at such time. However, if we do, the dilution that couldresult from such issuances could have a material adverse impact on existing stockholders and could cause the price of our common stockto fall rapidly based on the amount of such dilution.

 

TheSelling Securityholders may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial diminution to the value of shares held by existingstockholders.

 

Pursuantto the Equity Purchase Agreement, we are prohibited from delivering a Put Notice to Peak One to the extent that the issuance of shareswould cause the Selling Securityholders to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock; provided,however, the Selling Securityholders in their sole discretion can waive this ownership limitation up to 9.99% of our then-outstandingshares of Common Stock. These restrictions however, do not prevent the Selling Stockholder from selling shares of Common Stock receivedin connection with the Equity Line and then receiving additional shares of Common Stock in connection with a subsequent issuance. Inthis way, the Selling Securityholders could sell more than 4.99% (or 9.99% if 4.99% ownership limitation is waived) of the outstandingshares of Common Stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 4.99% (or 9.99% if 4.99% ownership limitation iswaived) at any one time. As a result, existing stockholders and new investors could experience substantial diminution in the value oftheir shares of Common Stock. Additionally, we do not have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales by the Selling Securityholdersof the shares issued under the Equity Line.

 

TheCompany faces risks related to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reporting standards.

 

TheSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related new rules and regulations implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting OversightBoard, require changes in the corporate governance practices and financial reporting standards for public companies. These laws, rulesand regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal control over financialreporting, referred to as Section 404, materially increase the Company’s legal and financial compliance costs and make certainactivities more time-consuming and burdensome.

 

CautionaryNote

 

Wehave sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent,any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors shouldcarefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

Members of the Board should have the highest professional and personal ethics,consistent with our values and standards and Code of Ethics. At a minimum, a nominee must possess integrity, skill, leadership ability,financial sophistication, and capacity to help guide us. Nominees should be committed to enhancing stockholder value and should havesufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on their experiences. Their service on otherboards of public companies should be limited to a number that permits them, given their individual circumstances, to responsibly performall director duties. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers all applicable statutory and regulatoryrequirements and the requirements of any exchange upon which our common stock is listed or to which it may apply in the foreseeable future.

The exercise price of each stockoption granted under the Incentive Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as of the datethe award is granted to a participant. Fair market value under the plan means, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the closingsale price of Common Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market, on the grant date. The Committee will fix the terms and conditionsof each stock option, subject to certain restrictions, such as a ten-year maximum term.

RestrictedStock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units. Restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or RSUs, and/or deferredstock units may be granted under the Incentive Plan. A restricted stock award is an award of Common Stock that is subject to restrictionson transfer and risk of forfeiture upon certain events, typically including termination of service. RSUs or deferred stock units aresimilar to restricted stock awards except that no shares are actually awarded to the participant on the grant date. Deferred stock unitspermit the holder to receive shares of Common Stock or the equivalent value in cash or other property at a future time as determinedby the Committee.

The Company is entitled to withhold anddeduct future wages or make other arrangements to collect any amount due.

TaxConsequences of Awards 

 

IncentiveStock Options. With respect to incentive stock options, generally, the participant is not taxed, and the Company is not entitledto a deduction, on either the grant or the exercise of an incentive stock option so long as the requirements of Section 422 of the Codecontinue to be met. If the participant meets the employment requirements and does not dispose of the shares of Common Stock acquiredupon exercise of an incentive stock option until at least one year after date of the exercise of the stock option and at least twoyears after the date the stock option was granted, gain or loss realized on sale of the shares will be treated as long-term capitalgain or loss. If the shares of Common Stock are disposed of before those periods expire, which is called a disqualifying disposition,the participant will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of the fairmarket value of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price, or (ii) if the disposition is a taxable sale or exchange,the amount of gain realized. Upon a disqualifying disposition, the Company will generally be entitled, in the same tax year, to a deductionequal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant, assuming that a deduction is allowed under Section 162(m) of theCode.

 

Non-Statutory StockOptions. The grant of a stock option that does not qualify for treatment as an incentive stock option, which is generally referredto as a non-statutory stock option, is generally not a taxable event for the participant. Upon exercise of the stock option, theparticipant will generally be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of CommonStock acquired upon exercise (determined as of the date of exercise) over the exercise price of the stock option, and the Companywill be entitled to a deduction in an equal amount in the same tax year, assuming that a deduction is allowed under Section 162(m) ofthe Code. At the time of a subsequent sale or disposition of shares obtained upon exercise of a non-statutory stock option, anygain or loss will be a capital gain or loss, which will be either a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending onhow long the shares have been held.

 

SARs.The grant of an SAR will not cause the participant to recognize ordinary income or entitle the Company to a deduction for federal incometax purposes. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary income in the amount of the cash or the value of sharespayable to the participant (before reduction for any withholding taxes), and the Company will receive a corresponding deduction in anamount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant, assuming that a deduction is allowed under Section 162(m) ofthe Code.

 

RestrictedStock, RSUs, Deferred Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards. The federal income tax consequences with respect to restrictedstock, RSUs, deferred stock units, performance shares and performance stock units, and other stock unit and stock-based awardsdepend on the facts and circumstances of each award, including, in particular, the nature of any restrictions imposed with respectto the awards. In general, if an award of stock granted to the participant is subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture”(e.g., the award is conditioned upon the future performance of substantial services by the participant) and is nontransferable, a taxableevent occurs when the risk of forfeiture ceases or the awards become transferable, whichever first occurs. At such time, the participantwill recognize ordinary income to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the stock on such date over the participant’scost for such stock (if any), and the same amount is deductible by the Company, assuming that a deduction is allowed under Section 162(m)of the Code. Under certain circumstances, the participant, by making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, can acceleratefederal income tax recognition with respect to an award of stock that is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and transferabilityrestrictions, in which event the ordinary income amount and the Company’ deduction, assuming that a deduction is allowed underSection 162(m) of the Code, will be measured and timed as of the grant date of the award. If the stock award granted to the participantis not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or transferability restrictions, the participant will recognize ordinary income withrespect to the award to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant over the participant’scost, if any, and the same amount is deductible by us, assuming that a deduction is allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code. Ifa stock unit award or other stock-based award is granted but no stock is actually issued to the participant at the time the awardis granted, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time the participant receives the stock free of any substantial riskof forfeiture (or receives cash in lieu of such stock) and the amount of such income will be equal to the fair market value of the stockat such time over the participant’s cost, if any, and the same amount is then deductible by the Company, assuming that a deductionis allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

WithholdingObligations 

 

TheCompany is entitled to withhold and deduct from future wages of the participant, to make other arrangements for the collection of, orto require the participant to pay to the Company, an amount necessary for it to satisfy the participant’s federal, state or localtax withholding obligations with respect to awards granted under the Incentive Plan. Withholding for taxes may be calculated based onthe maximum applicable tax rate for the participant’s jurisdiction or such other rate that will not trigger a negative accountingimpact on the Company. The Committee may permit a participant to satisfy a tax withholding obligation by withholding shares of CommonStock underlying an award, tendering previously acquired shares, delivery of a broker exercise notice or a combination of these methods.

CodeSection 409A

 

Aparticipant may be subject to a 20% penalty tax, in addition to ordinary income tax, at the time a grant becomes vested, plus an interestpenalty tax, if the grant constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and the requirements of Section 409A of theCode are not satisfied.

 

CodeSection 162(m) 

 

Pursuantto Section 162(m) of the Code, the annual compensation paid to an individual who is a “covered employee” is not deductibleby the Company to the extent it exceeds $1 million. The Tax Cut and Jobs Act, signed into law on December 22, 2017, amendedSection 162(m), effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, (i) to expand the definition of a “covered employee”to include any person who was the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer at any time during the year and the three mosthighly compensated officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer) who were employed at any time duringthe year whether or not the compensation is reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in the proxy statement for the Company’Annual Meeting; (ii) to treat any individual who is considered a covered employee at any time during a tax year beginning after December 31,2106 as remaining a covered employee permanently; and (iii) to eliminate the performance-based compensation exception to the $1 milliondeduction limit.

 

ExciseTax on Parachute Payments 

 

Unlessotherwise provided in a separate agreement between a participant and the Company, if, with respect to a participant, the accelerationof the vesting of an award or the payment of cash in exchange for all or part of an award, together with any other payments that suchparticipant has the right to receive from the Company, would constitute a “parachute payment” then the payments to suchparticipant will be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such payments being subject to the excise tax imposedby Section 4999 of the Code. Such reduction, however, will only be made if the aggregate amount of the payments after such reductionexceeds the difference between the amount of such payments absent such reduction minus the aggregate amount of the excise tax imposedunder Section 4999 of the Code attributable to any such excess parachute payments. If such provisions are applicable and if an employeewill be subject to a 20% excise tax on any “excess parachute payment” pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, the Company willbe denied a deduction with respect to such excess parachute payment pursuant to Section 280G of the Code.

 

NewPlan Benefits 

 

Itis not presently possible to determine the benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to participants under the IncentivePlan or would have been received by or allocated to participants for the last completed fiscal year if the Incentive Plan had then beenin effect because awards under the Incentive Plan will be made at the discretion of the Committee.

 

VoteRequired for Approval 

 

Theapproval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock castby the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes willnot be counted for purposes of determining whether this proposal has been approved.

Changeof Control

 

Nevada’s“Acquisition of Controlling Interest Statute” applies to Nevada corporations that have at least 200 shareholders, with atleast 100 shareholders of record being Nevada residents and that do business directly or indirectly in Nevada. Where applicable, thestatute prohibits an acquiror from voting shares of a target company’s stock after exceeding certain threshold ownership percentages,until the acquiror provides certain information to the company and a majority of the disinterested shareholders vote to restore the votingrights of the acquiror’s shares at a meeting called at the request and expense of the acquiror. If the voting rights of such sharesare restored, shareholders voting against such restoration may demand payment for the “fair value” of their shares. The Nevadastatute also restricts a “business combination” with “interested shareholders”, unless certain conditions aremet, with respect to corporations which have at least 200 shareholders of record. A “combination” includes:

 

  (i) any merger with an “interested shareholder,” or any other corporation which is or after the merger would be, an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder;
     
  (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of assets, to an “interested shareholder,” having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the corporation’s assets; an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation;
     
  (iii) any issuance or transfer of shares of the corporation or its subsidiaries, having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all the outstanding shares of the corporation to the “interested shareholder”
     
  (iv) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the corporation proposed by the “interested shareholder”;
     
  (v) certain transactions which would result in increasing the proportionate percentage of shares of the corporation owned by the “interested shareholder”; or
     
  (vi) the receipt of benefits, except proportionately as a shareholder, of any loans, advances or other financial benefits by an “interested shareholder.”

 

44

 

 

An“interested shareholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within the priorthree years, did beneficially own) 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. A corporation to which this statute applies maynot engage in a “combination” within three years after the interested shareholder acquired its shares, unless the combinationor the interested shareholder’s acquisition of shares was approved by the board of directors before the interested shareholderacquired the shares. If this approval was not obtained, then after the three-year period expires, the combination may be consummatedif all applicable statutory requirements are met.

 

Approvalof mergers, conversion, amendments to the articles of incorporation, and sales, leases or exchanges of all of the property or assetsof a corporation, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, requires the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majorityof the outstanding shares entitled to vote, except that, unless required by the articles of incorporation, no vote of shareholders ofthe corporation surviving a merger is necessary if:

 

  (i) the merger does not amend the articles of incorporation of the corporation;
     
  (ii) each outstanding share immediately prior to the merger is to be an identical share after the merger;
     
  (iii) The number of voting shares outstanding immediately after the merger, plus the number of voting issued as a result of the merger, either by the conversion of shares securities issued pursuant to the merger or the exercise of rights and warrants issued pursuant to the merger, will not exceed by more than 20% the total number of voting shares of the surviving domestic corporation outstanding immediately before the merger; and
     
  (iv) the number of participating shares (i.e. shares that entitle their holders to participate without limitation in distribution) outstanding immediately after the merger, plus the number of participating shares issuable as a result of the merger, either by the conversion of securities issued pursuant to the merger or the exercise of rights and warrants issued pursuant to the merger, will not exceed by more than 20% the total number of participating shares outstanding immediately before the merger.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by theselling shareholders of the Common Shares. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the Common Shares.

 

Eachselling shareholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of theirCommon Shares on the OTCQB, or any other stock exchange, market, quotation service or trading facility on which the shares are tradedor in private transactions, provided that all applicable laws are satisfied. The selling shareholders may also sell their Common Sharesdirectly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. If the Common Shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers,the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The Common Sharesmay be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determinedat the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. A selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part;
     
  broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
     
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; and
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

Theselling shareholders may also sell shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this Prospectus.

 

Ifthe selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling Common Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents, suchunderwriters, broker-dealers, or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the sellingshareholders or commissions from purchasers of the Common Shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal(which discounts, concessions, or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents may be in excess of those customaryin the types of transactions involved). Broker-dealers engaged by any selling shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participatein sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent forthe purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus,in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in thecase of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

Inconnection with sales of Common Shares or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealersor other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Shares in the course of hedging in positions theyassume. The selling shareholders may also sell Common Shares short and deliver Common Shares covered by this Prospectus to close outtheir short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledgeCommon Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Common Shares. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or othertransactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require thedelivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Common Shares offered by this Prospectus, which Common Shares such broker-dealeror other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Theselling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Common Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters”within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by, or any discountsor concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of any Shares purchased by them may be deemedto be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Common Shares is made,a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the aggregate amount of Common Shares being offered andthe terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions, and other terms constitutingcompensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions, or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Eachselling shareholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, withany person to distribute the Common Shares.

All of the foregoing provisions may affect the marketability of the CommonShares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common Shares.

 

Wewill pay all expenses of the registration of the Common Shares, estimated to be approximately $30,000 in total, including, without limitation,SEC filing fees, expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws, and legal and accounting fees; provided,however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the sellingshareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with applicable registration rightsagreements, if any, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders againstcivil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by theselling shareholder specifically for use in this Prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we maybe entitled to contribution.

LEGALPROCEEDINGS

 

Legalproceedings covering a dispute arising from a past employment agreements is pending against the Company’s former business partner,CMI. In Gaudio v. Critical Mass Industries, LLC et al, CMI’s motion to set aside a default judgment was granted April 26, 2021.It is possible that there could be adverse developments in the Gaudio case. An unfavorable outcome or settlement of pending litigationwould have a significant impact on our ability to collect receivables from CMI, to complete any of the pending transactions involvingour Colorado assets and agreements and could encourage the commencement of additional litigation against CMI or the Company. We and oursubsidiaries will record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorableoutcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. At the present time, while it is reasonably possible thatan unfavorable outcome in the Gaudio case may occur, (i) management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that ourCompany would undergo that could result from an unfavorable outcome or settlement in Gaudio; and (iii) accordingly, management has notprovided any amounts in the consolidated financial statements for an unfavorable outcome in this case, if applicable. Any applicablelegal advice costs are expensed as incurred.

DISCLOSUREOF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Nevadalaw allows a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’fees and amounts paid in settlement) and, provided that such individual, or indemnitee, acted in good faith and for a purpose which heor she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding,had reasonable grounds to believe his or her conduct was lawful. Nevada law authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers,employees and agents against all reasonable expenses including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees in connection witha lawsuit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor if such person acted in good faith and in a mannerreasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be paid as toany claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation unless it is determined by the court makingsuch adjudication of liability that, despite such finding, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled for such expenses deemed proper.

 

Nevadalaw also provides for discretionary indemnification made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determinationthat indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made either:

 

  (i) by the shareholders;
     
  (ii) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the actions, suit or proceeding;
     
  (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the actions, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
     
  (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the actions, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

 

Thearticles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directorsincurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advanceof the final disposition of the actions, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officerto repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified bythe corporation. The provisions do not affect any right to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directorsor officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in orordered by a court pursuant to Nevada law does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancementof expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directorsor otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding office, except that indemnification,unless ordered by a court or for the advancement of expenses, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if his actsor omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. In addition,indemnification continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs,executors and administrators of such a person.

 

Insofaras indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controllingthe Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnificationis against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

In ouropinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

GoingConcern Matter

 

Theaccompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises substantial doubt about its abilityto continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statementsdo not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basisfor Opinion

 

Thesefinancial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sfinancial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securitieslaws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

Weconducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtainreasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Companyis not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit,we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinionon the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Ouraudit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error orfraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regardingthe amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significantestimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit providea reasonable basis for our opinion.

  

CriticalAudit Matter

 

Criticalaudit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to becommunicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

1.NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

 

CryomassTechnologies Inc (“Cryomass Technologies” or the “Company”) began as Auto Tool Technologies Inc., which was incorporatedunder the laws of the State of Nevada on May 10, 2011. The Company’s name was changed to AFC Building Technologies Inc. effectiveJanuary 10, 2014. Effective April 26, 2018, the Company changed its name to First Colombia Development Corp. Effective October 14, 2019,the Company changed its name to Redwood Green Corp. Effective September 1, 2020, the Company changed its name to Andina Gold Corp. OnJuly 15, 2021, the Company entered into a plan of merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cryomass Technologies Inc a Nevada corporation,pursuant to which we agreed that subsidiary would merge with and into our company. Following the consummation of the merger, the separateexistence of the subsidiary ceased, and we continued as the surviving corporation with our name changed to Cryomass Technologies Inc.effective August 27, 2021. Our ticker symbol changed from AGOL to CRYM.

 

TheCompany’s principal office is located at 1001 Bannock St., Suite 612, Denver, CO 80204, and its telephone number is 303-416-7208.The Company’s website is www.cryomass.com. Information appearing on the website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

TheCompany over its history has explored a number of different business opportunities.

 

OnMay 10, 2018, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding share capital of First Colombia Devco S.A.S. (“Devco”)a Colombian company and began to establish various business ventures in Colombia in the agriculture and real estate development, tourism,and infrastructure sectors before commencing to phase them out in April 2019.

 

OnJuly 1, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in General Extract, LLC (“General Extract”), a Coloradolimited liability company. General Extract was founded in 2015 as an importer, distributor, broker and postprocessor of hemp and hempderivatives. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests, including business plans and access to contacts.Effective August 27, 2021, General Extract became Cryomass LLC.

 

OnJuly 15, 2019, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Good Acquisition Co., entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreementto acquire cannabis-related intellectual property and other assets of Critical Mass Industries LLC DBA Good Meds (“CMI” and/or“Good Meds”), a Colorado limited liability company (“CMI Transaction”). CMI is licensed by the Marijuana EnforcementDivision of Colorado Department of Revenue to produce cannabis and cannabis products under its six licenses. These licenses allow forcultivation, manufacturing of infused products and retail distribution. At the time the Company entered into the Membership InterestPurchase Agreement, Colorado law prohibited public companies, including the Company, from owning cannabis licenses. Therefore, CMI spunoff certain assets acquired by the Company. Under the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, CMI retained the cannabislicense, inventory and accounts receivable (the “Cannabis License Assets”) and continued to operate the cannabis businessrelated to those assets. In consideration for the transfer of the acquired assets, the Company delivered 13,553,233 shares of the Companycommon stock, in addition to $1,999,770 in cash to CMI.

 

GoodMeds, the operating unit of CMI, is based in Denver, CO, and operates in a 60,000-square-foot cultivation and processing facility. Thisfacility produces cannabis for sale as dry flower and biomass input for processing into Marijuana-Infused Products (“MIP”),such as live resin, wax and budder. Good Meds also owns and operates two medical cannabis dispensaries located in Lakewood, CO and Englewood,CO. The business has been in operation since 2009.

NOTESTO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

EffectiveDecember 31, 2021, we entered into a restated and amended administrative services agreement, terminated our license and marketing agreements,and restated the asset purchase agreement with CMI and affiliates. As a result of these agreements, we disposed of all CMI-related assetsand extinguished any and all related obligations. For clarity, we have no management or operations decision-making right or responsibility,nor any access to future economic benefits from operation of the assets. Therefore, upon commencing these agreements, we determined thatCMI no longer qualifies as a variable interest entity as of December 31, 2021.

 

Beginningin March 2020, an evaluation of various strategic alternatives was followed by the decision to sell the Colorado-based assets and refocusits attention on unique opportunities for gold exploration in Colombia. In August 2020, the Company established a wholly owned Colombiansubsidiary, Andina Gold Colombia SAS for this purpose. In December 2020, due to the death of the top geologist exploring opportunitieson behalf of the Company, and the effects of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the Company determined that pursuit of gold explorationin Colombia was no longer a practical alternative.

 

OnJune 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Cryocann USA Corp, a California corporation (“Cryocann”),pursuant to which Company acquired substantially all the assets of Cryocann. The aggregate purchase price was $3,500,000 million in cashand 10,000,000 shares of Company common stock As part of the Cryocann Acquisition, we retained both Cryocann employees, who have expertknowledge of the industry, related participants, customers and the acquired patented technology. Under their employment agreements, eachemployee may receive compensation if specific performance targets are met in association with our future operating performance when theCryocann technology enters the market. The technology and assets acquired from Cryocann are operated from the Company’s subsidiary,Cryomass LLC. The patented cryo-mechanical technology is for the separation of plant materials in the harvesting of hemp and cannabis,and potentially other high value crops such as hops. We believe this technology will reduce processing costs and increases the qualityof extracted compounds. We are exploring the application of the underlying technology to a broad range of industries that handle high-valuematerials and that could benefit from our precision capture methods. We anticipate that cannabis and hemp will be the first in a seriesof such industries.

 

Todevelop and commercialize the technology, we contracted with an independent engineering and manufacturing firm to refine the design ofour cryo-mechanical system for the handling of harvested hemp, cannabis and other high-value plants. The system exploits CryoMass’sU.S.-patented process for the controlled application of liquid nitrogen to stabilize and separate the structural elements of gross plantmaterial. The device currently under development is scaled for highway transportability and is being optimized for the low-cost collectionof fully intact hemp and cannabis trichomes. It can be used within minutes after plants have been cut and can also efficiently capturetrichomes from fresh frozen or even dried plant parts, including trim. The device’s through-put capacity is expected to be approximately600 kilograms of gross plant material per hour. The advanced design for the equipment has been completed, and testingof a prototype machine is currently underway. The engineering and manufacturing firm has indicated that it has the capacity to build10 to 15 such devices per month.

 

InNovember we retained a second engineering and manufacturing firm to independently develop a separate machine design that appliesour patented process. We expect their work to help strengthen the power and robustness of our technology. In addition, it opensa channel to a second manufacturing source.

 

Thefirst functional “beta” machine is expected to be ready for field testing by a third-party cannabis producer by mid-2022. Thefirst production-run machine is expected to be ready for use towards the end of the second quarter 2022. At that moment, we expect tostart helping our first tolling client (fee for service) increase its margins by cutting the cost of handling, processing andrefining its hemp or cannabis and increasing the resulting material’s value to formulators of end products.

NOTESTO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Managementbelieves the CryoMass system will deliver a compelling combination of cost and time savings while enhancing product qualityand quantity for largescale cultivators and processors of hemp and cannabis. The use of a CryoMass system – whichcan be trucked to and operated on the fields of most large hemp and cannabis growers or be permanently installed at a user’s processingfacility – should eliminate many of the costs that come with traditional practices, especially the labor, fuel and capitalcosts of drying and curing hemp or cannabis that is grown for the extraction of end products. With traditional practices, harvestedplants are transported to a specially constructed drying house and then treated for a week or longer under controlled conditions of temperatureand humidity. It’s a costly method. With our system, harvested plants are simply fed into the front end of a CryoMass machine,and minutes later fully intact trichomes are collected at the back end of the machine. With traditional practices and their seven-to-tendays of handling and drying, a large share of a plant’s valuable trichomes break off and are lost. Then the remaining trichomesare damaged by long exposure to oxygen and by the evaporation of their volatile terpenes. The CryoMass system, on the otherhand, stabilizes and collects fully intact trichomes at harvest, leaving no opportunity for such wasteful loss. Field-captured trichomesare the cleanest element of a hemp or cannabis plant because, unlike the rest of the plant, trichomes do not readily take up heavy metals, pesticides orother common soil contaminants. As a product for end-users, field-captured trichomes are closest to being contaminant free. As feedstockfor manufacturers of extracts and oils, they are the key to the purest products possible.

 

Becausethe trichomes collected with CryoMass technology represent only 10% or so of a plant’s weight and volume, they are cheaperto ship and store than gross plant material. For the same reason and because trichomes are free of the waxes and other unwantedmaterials found in the rest of the plant, processing trichomes into oils and extracts can be far quicker, cheaper and easierthan processing gross plant material. Even trichomes captured from dried or frozen plant parts deliver this cost-saving advantage toprocessors of oils and extracts. The three-dimensional advantage achievable with the CryoMass system – first-stagecost savings, product enhancement and downstream cost savings – can as much as double a crop’s wholesale value. And in somejurisdictions, users may enjoy a reduction in excise taxes levied on cannabis and hemp harvests, which typically are tied to the grossweight of hemp or cannabis that is removed from the field.

 

Productionand processing of hemp and cannabis is a huge, worldwide industry. In the U.S., for example, the wholesale value of the cannabis cropfrom just the 11 states permitting adult-use and medical cannabis exceeds $6 billion annually.1 Growth in the U.S.and in the worldwide market is likely fed in part by the growing acceptance of medicinal cannabis products and anticipated legislativechanges in various jurisdictions worldwide.

 

Andthat may only be chapter one of the Company’s story. Several other high-value plants, including species that are important forhealth and wellness products, wrap their valuable elements in trichomes. The technology we are developing for hemp and cannabis may haveprofitable application to those other species as well. We intend to find out.

 

InSeptember, we were granted an additional patent for our process from the Chinese Intellectual Property Office. We currently aretaking steps to gain further protection for our intellectual property through the European Union Intellectual Property Office and severalother international jurisdictions.

 

OnNovember 17th we announced the completion of a $10.3 million equity financing. The financing and the earlier conversionof substantially all the company’s debt into common stock left the Company with a strong balance sheet and adequate resources forour planned business development during the coming twelve months. In connection with the financing, 1,010,000 shares and 760,000shares of CryoMass Technologies common stock were purchased by CEO Christian Noël and Chairman of the Board Delon Human,respectively.

2.VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

 

Pursuantto Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 810, Consolidation(“ASC 810”), the Company is required to include in its consolidated financial statements, the financial statements ofits variable interest entity (“VIE”). ASC 810 requires a VIE to be consolidated if that company is subject to a majorityof the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities inwhich a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of theentity, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.

 

UnderASC 810, a reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the total equity investmentat risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support providedby any parties, including equity holders. Beginning July 15, 2019, the Company consolidated CMI as a VIE pursuant to certain intellectualproperty, administrative and consulting agreements in which the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of CMI. Accordingly, the resultsof CMI have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Effective December 31, 2021, the Company entered intoan asset purchase agreement involving its VIE with Critical Mass Industries, Inc. and John Knapp, the sole shareholder of Critical MassIndustries, Inc., to divest its discontinued operations in cannabis cultivation, where the buyer assumes all assets and liabilities fromthe Company. Therefore, with regards to both criteria discussed above, the Company no longer has the power to direct activities, absorblosses, or receive benefits from the VIE and as such will no longer consolidate with CMI.

Asa result of new agreements entered with CMI on December 31, 2021, as further detailed in Note 1 above, we disposed of all CMI-relatedassets and extinguished any and all related obligations in exchange for a $3,600,000 promissory note due to us no later than December31, 2023. When comparing the carrying value of CMI-related net assets to the value of the loan receivable, we calculated a loss on disposalof discontinued operations of $3,021,724.

 

3.GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY, FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

TheCompany believes it has sufficient cash available to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next twelve months. Duringthe year, the Company raised $10,548,535 in common stock and $4,900,000 in convertible notes which were all converted to common stock.

 

Whilemanagement believes the Company has sufficient cash available to support an anticipated level of operations for at least the next twelvemonths, the continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, theability of our company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue operations, the sale of assets, and ultimately the attainmentof profitable operations. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our company used $5,600,512 of cash for operating activities, incurreda net loss of $12,859,643 and has an accumulated deficit of $28,588,837 since inception.

 

OnMarch 11, 2020, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19) was characterized as a “pandemic.”  The Company’soperations were impacted during the year in the United States. The impact of COVID-19 developments and uncertainty with respectto the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

 

TheCompany assessed certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information, including, but not limitedto, the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, and valuation allowances in contextwith the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of December 31, 2021 andthrough the date of this report. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as otherfactors, could result in material impacts to the Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.

Management continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic situation and federal,state and local recommendations and will provide updates as appropriate.

 

4.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principlesof Consolidation

 

Theaccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The consolidated financial statements includethe accounts of the Cryomass Technologies Inc, Cryomass LLC, and CMI, a VIE for which the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary.All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates as one segment fromits corporate headquarters in Colorado.

 

EffectiveDecember 31, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement involving its VIE with Critical Mass Industries, Inc. and JohnKnapp, the sole shareholder of Critical Mass Industries, Inc., to divest its discontinued operations in cannabis cultivation, where thebuyer assumes all assets and liabilities from the Company. Therefore, with regards to both criteria discussed above, the Company no longerhas the power to direct activities, absorb losses, or receive benefits from the VIE and as such will no longer consolidate with CMI.

 

Useof Estimates

 

Thepreparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financialstatements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in thesefinancial statements include, but are not limited to determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisition,determining the fair value and potential impairment of inventory, determining the useful lives and potential impairment of long-livedassets and potential impairment of goodwill. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specificor other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimateswhen there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certainitems in the consolidated financial statements were reclassified from prior periods for presentation purposes.

 

Cashand Cash Equivalents

 

TheCompany considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

NOTESTO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Concentrationsof Credit Risk

 

Financialinstruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. Periodically, the Companymaintains deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in financialinstitutions that it believes have high credit quality and has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Additionally, the companyentered into a $3,600,000 loan receivable in conjunction with the disposal of discontinued operations, which is backed by the assetsof the discontinued operations, should the borrower default. Aside from these items, the Company does not believe it is exposed to anyunusual credit risk.

 

PurchaseAccounting for Acquisitions

 

Weapply the acquisition method of accounting for a business combination. In general, this methodology requires us to record assets acquiredand liabilities assumed at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Any amount of the purchase price paid that is inexcess of the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. For certain acquisitions, we also record a liabilityfor contingent consideration based on estimated future business performance. We monitor our assumptions surrounding these estimated futurecash flows and, if there is a significant change, would record an adjustment to the contingent consideration liability and a correspondingadjustment to either income or expense. We determine fair value using widely accepted valuation techniques, primarily discounted cashflow and market multiple analyses. These types of analyses require us to make assumptions and estimates regarding industry and economicfactors, the profitability of future business strategies, discount rates and cash flow.

 

Ifactual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information,we may be exposed to an impairment charge in the future. If the contingent consideration paid for any of our acquisitions differs fromthe amount initially recorded, we would record either income or expense associated with the change in liability.

 

VariableInterest Entities

 

TheCompany accounts for variable interest entities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. Management evaluatesthe relationship between the Company and VIEs and the economic benefit flow of the contractual arrangement with the VIEs. Managementdetermines if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE through a qualitative analysis that identifies which variable interestholder has the controlling financial interest in the VIE. The variable interest holder who has both of the following has the controllingfinancial interest and is the primary beneficiary: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact theVIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that couldpotentially be significant to the VIE. In performing our analysis, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the designand activities of the VIE, the terms of the contracts the VIE has entered into, the nature of the VIE’s variable interests issuedand how they were negotiated with or marketed to potential investors, and which parties participated significantly in the design or redesignof the entity. As a result of such evaluation, management concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary of CMI and consolidatesthe financial results of this entity. Effective December 31, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement involving itsVIE with Critical Mass Industries, Inc. and John Knapp, the sole shareholder of Critical Mass Industries, Inc., to divest its discontinuedoperations in cannabis cultivation, where the buyer assumes all assets and liabilities from the Company. Therefore, with regards to bothcriteria discussed above, the Company no longer has the power to direct activities, absorb losses, or receive benefits from the VIE andas such will no longer consolidate with CMI.

 

AccountsReceivable, net

 

Accountsreceivable, net is comprised of balances due from customers and are recorded at the invoiced amount. Past due balances are determinedbased on the contractual terms of the arrangements. Accounts receivable are accrued against when management determines, after consideringeconomic and business conditions and all means of collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is consideredremote, that the collection of receivables is doubtful. Accounts receivable amounts, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $0and $606,043 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This includes $0 and $66,043, respectively, related to the VIE. Uncollectibleaccounts previously recorded as receivables are recognized as bad debt expense, with a corresponding decrease to accounts receivable.Bad debt expense was $541,099 and $188,548 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This amount includes $1,099and $4,548, respectively, related to the VIE, which is classified as discontinued operations.

Inventory,net

 

Inventory,net is comprised of work-in-process and finished goods consisting of cannabis and cannabidiol products. Cost includes expenditures directlyrelated to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity.Inventory, net is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company compares the cost of inventory with market value andwrites down inventories to net realizable value, if lower. In evaluating whether inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizablevalue, management considers such factors as inventories on hand, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, estimatedtime to sell such inventories and current market conditions. Due to changing market conditions, management conducted a thorough reviewof its inventory. As a result, a provision for inventory losses of $0 and $400,787 was charged against cost of goods sold during theyears ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, due to a write down of inventory to its net realizable value. This was based onthe Company’s best estimates of product sales prices and customer demand patterns. It is at least reasonably possible that theestimates used by the Company to determine its provision for inventory losses will be materially different from the actual amounts orresults. These differences could result in materially higher than expected inventory provisions, which could have a materially adverseeffect on the Company’s results of operations and financial conditions in the near term.

 

RevenueRecognition

 

UnderFASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customerobtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchangefor those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s)with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate thetransaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performanceobligation.

 

DiscontinuedOperations

 

TheCompany’s revenue consists of sales of cannabis and ancillary products to both retail consumers and wholesale customers. Revenuefor retail customers is recognized upon completion of the transaction in the point of sale system and satisfaction of the sale by providingthe corresponding inventory at the retail location. Revenue for wholesale customers is recognized upon acceptance of the physical goodsand confirmation by acceptance of the inventory in the regulatory marijuana enforcement tracking reporting compliance (“METRC”)system. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers, generally as risk of loss passes, in an amountthat reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. Taxes collected from customers, whichare subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from revenue.

 

Retailcustomer loyalty liabilities are recognized in the period in which they are incurred and will often be retired without being utilized.Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in cost of sales, which were not material for the years ended December31, 2021 and 2020.

 

TheCompany operates in a highly regulated environment in which state regulatory approval is required prior to the customer being able topurchase the product, either through the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division for wholesale clients or the Colorado Department ofPublic Health and Environment for medical patients.

Otherexpense, net consisted of interest expense, other income and (loss) gain on foreign exchange.

 

Stock-BasedCompensation

 

Thefair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted are measured on the grant date using the closing priceof the Company’s common shares on the grant date. For stock options, the Company engages a valuation firm to calculate the grantdate fair value of the options issued. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeituresover the course of a vesting period. All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidatedstatements of operations.

 

Propertyand Equipment, net

 

Purchaseof property and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenanceand repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are soldor retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the consolidatedstatements of operations. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated usefullife of each asset, as follows:

 

    Estimated Useful Life
Computer equipment   35 years
Furniture and fixtures   57 years
Machinery and equipment   58 years

Goodwillrepresents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assetsacquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

 

Indefinite-livedintangible assets established in connection with business combinations consists of in process research and development. Intangible assetswith indefinite lives are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Once in process research and developmentis placed in service, it will be amortized over the estimated useful life.

 

Intangibleassets with finite lives are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimateduseful lives using the straight-line method. Amortization of assets ceases upon designation as held for sale. The estimated useful livesof intangible assets are detailed in the table below:

Impairmentof Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwillis not amortized, but instead is tested annually at December 31 for impairment and upon the occurrence of certain events or substantivechanges in circumstances.

 

Weaccount for the impairment of goodwill under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Update2017-04 (“ASU 2017-04”), “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for GoodwillImpairment” and FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-20-35, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Goodwill.

 

TheCompany performs impairment testing for goodwill by performing the following steps: 1) evaluate the relevant events or circumstancesto determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, 2) if yes tostep 1, calculate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it with its carrying amount, including goodwill, 3) recognize impairment,limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit, equal to the excess of the carrying value of a reporting unitover its fair value.

 

Duringthe year ended December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that goodwill resulting from the CMI transaction was impaired, resulting in a$4,663,514 impairment charge included in net loss from discontinued operations.

 

Inaccordance with ASC 350, as of December 31, 2021, management concluded that the goodwill resulting from the Cryocann acquisition wasnot impaired.

 

Indefinite-LivedIntangible Assets and Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization

 

Indefinite-livedintangible assets and intangible assets subject to amortization are not amortized, but instead are tested annually at December 31 forimpairment and upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances.

 

Weaccount for the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-30-35, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill.Following this guidance, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets to its carrying value.If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company recognizes impairment equal to that excess.

 

Weaccount for the impairment of intangible assets subject to amortization under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Following this guidance, the Companycompares the estimated fair value of the intangible assets subject to amortization to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceedsthe fair value, the Company recognizes impairment equal to that excess.

 

Duringthe year ended December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that intangible assets resulting from the CMI transaction were impaired, resultingin an impairment charge of $316,218, which is included in net loss from discontinued operations.

 

Asof December 31, 2021, management concluded that identifiable intangible assets resulting from the Cryocann transaction were not impaired.

  

Contingencies

 

Aninitial right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding liability of $1,411,461 was recognized upon the CMI Transaction. TheCompany adopted ASU Topic 842 January 1, 2019, but had no reportable operating leases at that point in time. As of December 31, 2021,our ROU assets and liabilities associated with CMI were no longer included on the consolidated balance sheets.

IncomeTaxes

 

TheCompany uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method,deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilitiesusing tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded whenit is likely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all yearssubject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordancewith ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policywill be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxingauthority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihoodthat a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.

 

FairValue Measurements

 

Certainassets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would bereceived for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liabilityin an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximizethe use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value areto be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are consideredobservable and the last is considered unobservable:

 

  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
     
  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

Thecarrying values reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses, inventories, accounts payable, notes payable,and taxes payable approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. There wereno other assets or liabilities that require fair value to be recalculated on a recurring basis.  

 

Thefair value of beneficial conversion features associated with convertible notes and the fair value of warrants are calculated utilizinglevel 2 inputs.

  

Whenmultiple instruments are issued in a single transaction, the total proceeds from the transaction should be allocated among the individualfreestanding instruments identified. In this case, there were warrants issued in conjunction with convertible notes of $4.9 million and$250K and the sale of common stock through subscription agreements for $679K and $10.3 million. The allocation occurs after identifying(1) all the freestanding instruments and (2) the subsequent measurement basis for those instruments. The subsequent measurement basishelps inform how the proceeds should be allocated. After the proceeds are allocated to the freestanding instruments, those instrumentsshould be further evaluated for embedded features that may need to be bifurcated or separated.

 

Ifdebt or stock is issued with detachable warrants, the guidance in ASC 470-20-25-2 (applied by analogy to stock) requires that the proceedsbe allocated to the two instruments based on their relative fair values. This method is generally appropriate if debt or stock is issuedwith any other freestanding instrument that is classified in equity (such as a detachable forward contract) or as a liability but notsubject to subsequent fair value accounting.

 

Giventhat the convertible notes and common stock that were issued with warrants are both not subject to subsequent fair value accounting treatment,Management determined the relative fair value method shall be used for allocating the proceeds of the transaction. Under the relativefair value method, the instrument being analyzed is allocated a portion of the proceeds based on its fair value to the sum of the fairvalue of all the instruments covered int the allocation.

 

Managementadditionally evaluated the facts and circumstances to determine whether the principal balance of the Notes ($4.9 million and $250K) approximatedtheir fair value. The Notes were issued entirely to unrelated third parties which were deemed to be arm’s length transactions.In addition, the comparable interest rates for loans of similar companies as of the date of the Note issuances range from 10-15% giventhe liquidity concerns of the Company. The term of the Notes issued range from 8-15 months, which would support the conclusion that theprincipal balance approximates their fair value given the short-term maturities of each Note. Finally, the Warrants issued in connectionwith the Notes were included akin to a “sweetener” in the offering as opposed to compensation for adjusting the interestrate or other key terms within the Convertible Term Loan Agreements. As such, the Company concluded that the principal balance of theNotes approximated their fair value.

 

TheWarrants were initially measured at fair value and subsequent fair value measurement is not required as long as the instrument continuesto be classified in equity. The proceeds from each transaction were allocated between the Notes and Warrants as well as common stockand Warrants based on the relative fair value method.

 

Warrantsissued in connection with cash provided for common shares, and not convertible notes, during the fourth quarter of 2021 also followedthe same fair value assessment and treatment as noted above.

NetLoss per Share

 

TheCompany follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”)on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividingnet income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemptionor forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflectthe actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding.Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.There were 2,200,003 unvested RSU’s considered potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2,453,172unvested RSU’s considered potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2020. Diluted net loss per share is thesame as basic net loss per share for each period.

 

Assetsand Liabilities of Discontinued Operations Held for Sale

 

Assetsand liabilities are classified as held for sale when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (1) management,having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the assets; (2) the assets are available for immediate sale, intheir present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (3) an active program to locatea buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the assets have been initiated; (4) the sale of the assets is probableand is expected to be completed within one year; (5) the assets are being actively marketed for a price that is reasonable in relationto their current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to theplan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. When all of these criteria have been met, the assets (and liabilities) are classifiedas held for sale in the balance sheet. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair valueless costs to sell. Depreciation of assets ceases upon designation as held for sale.

 

RecentAccounting Pronouncements

 

InAugust 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt—Debt withConversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. The accountingmodel for beneficial conversion features is removed. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, includinginterim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15,2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company determined that this update will impact its financial statements.

 

InAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirementsfor Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and adds additional disclosures.The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlyadoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated that this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements and relateddisclosures.

 

InJanuary 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment.The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlyadoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2020.

 

InFebruary 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASC 842). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (ASU 2018- 10), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certainaspects of the new lease standard, and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842)-Targeted Improvements (ASU 2018-11), which addressed implementationissues related to the new lease standard. Under ASC 842, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affectingthe pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The standard also requires disclosures to help investors and other financialstatement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 was effective forannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted ASC842 on January 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Priorperiod results continue to be presented under ASC 840 based on the accounting standards originally in effect for such periods.

Deferredtaxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operatingloss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differencesare the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by avaluation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assetswill not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in the tax laws and rates on the dateof enactment. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense.

NOTESTO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

AtDecember 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,194,806 and $2,004,266 thatmay be offset against future taxable income from the years 2022 through 2041. State net operating losses were approximately $16,641,692and $8,042,840 at December 31, 2021 and 2020.  However, as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) and the2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), any federal net operating losses generated in yearsbeginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2022 can be carried forward indefinitely to offset taxable income in future periods.The amount of NOLs with no expiration totaled $9,988,297 as of December 31, 2021. The deferred tax assets before valuation allowancefor the net operating losses were $2,749,613 and $715,079 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Should a change in ownership occur, the NOLswould be subject to the limitations set forth under IRC Section 382.

 

Managementassesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permituse of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a full valuationallowance against its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance is estimated to be approximately $3,269,776 and $1,031,792 forthe years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. However, because deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite lived intangiblescannot be used as a source of income to recognize deferred tax assets with definite lives, the recorded valuation allowance exceededthe net deferred assets resulting in an overall net deferred tax liability, as reflected in the table above.

 

TheCompany has adopted the provisions of ASC 740 which prescribe the procedures for recognition and measurement of tax positions taken orexpected to be taken in income tax returns. As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not have an accrual relating to uncertaintax positions. It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of thereporting date.

 

15.COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

 

Occasionally,the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provisionfor a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedfinancial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgmentsabout future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

 

LeaseCommitments

 

TheCompany accounts for lease transactions in accordance with Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires an entityto recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. Operating lease ROU assets andliabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets representthe Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligationto make lease payments arising from the lease.

 

Thereare no other leases that meet the reporting standards of ASU Topic 842 as the Company does not have any other leases with a term exceedingtwelve months. Other lease payments not accounted for under ASU Topic 842 total $59,051 and $73,777 for the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

AnROU asset of $1,411,461 was recognized upon the CMI Transaction. The present value of the liabilities decreased by $519,671 and $472,154for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This balance is included in the operating section of the statement of cashflows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Operating lease cost was approximately $664,686 and $627,132 for the years endedDecember 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Theright of use assets and lease liabilities assumed from the CMI transaction were disposed of as part of the disposal of our discontinuedoperations, which is described in further detail above.

 

TheCompany does not have any leases that have not yet commenced which are significant.

NOTESTO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Natureof the Business

 

CryomassTechnologies Inc (“Cryomass Technologies” or the “Company”) owns and is developing the strategy to operate patentedcryo-mechanical technology is for the separation of plant materials in the harvesting of hemp and cannabis, and potentially other highvalue crops such as hops. The system exploits CryoMass’s U.S.-patented process for the controlled application of liquid nitrogento stabilize and separate the structural elements of gross plant material. The device currently under development is scaled for highwaytransportability and is being optimized for the low-cost collection of fully intact hemp and cannabis trichomes. The functional “beta”machine is expected to be fully field-tested during mid-2022, followed by commercial use of the equipment including revenue generation.

 

2.Variable Interest Entity

 

Pursuantto Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 810, Consolidation(“ASC 810”), the Company is required to include in its consolidated financial statements, the financial statements ofits variable interest entity (“VIE”). ASC 810 requires a VIE to be consolidated if that company is subject to a majorityof the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities inwhich a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of theentity, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.

 

UnderASC 810, a reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the total equity investmentat risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support providedby any parties, including equity holders. Beginning July 15, 2019, the Company consolidated Critical Mass Industries LLC DBA Good Meds(“CMI” and/or “Good Meds”) as a VIE pursuant to certain intellectual property, administrative and consultingagreements in which the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of CMI. Accordingly, the results of CMI have been included in the accompanyingconsolidated financial statements.

 

EffectiveDecember 31, 2021, we entered into a restated and amended administrative services agreement, terminated our license and marketing agreements,and restated the asset purchase agreement with CMI and affiliates. As a result of these agreements, we disposed of all CMI-related assetsand extinguished any and all related obligations. For clarity, we have no management or operations decision-making right or responsibility,nor any access to future economic benefits from operation of the assets. Therefore, upon commencing these agreements, we determined thatCMI no longer qualifies as a variable interest entity as of December 31, 2021.

3.Going Concern Uncertainty, Financial Conditions and Management’s Plans

 

TheCompany believes it has sufficient cash available to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next twelve months. Duringthe year ended 2021, the Company raised $10,548,535 in common stock and $4,900,000 in convertible notes which were all converted to commonstock.

 

Whilemanagement believes the Company has sufficient cash available to support an anticipated level of operations for at least the next twelvemonths, the continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, theability of our company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue operations, the payment of our note receivable from CMI, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our company used $1,631,300 of cashfor operating activities, incurred a net loss of $2,152,305 and has an accumulated deficit of $30,741,142 since inception.

 

OnMarch 11, 2020, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19) was characterized as a “pandemic.”  The Company’soperations were impacted during the year in the United States. The impact of COVID-19 developments and uncertainty with respectto the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

 

TheCompany assessed certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information, including, but not limitedto, the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, and valuation allowances in contextwith the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of March 31, 2022 and throughthe date of this report. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors,could result in material impacts to the Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.

  

TheCOVID-19 pandemic and responses to this crisis, including actions taken by federal, state and local governments, have had an impact onthe operations of the company, including, without limitation, the following: reduced staffing due to employee suspected conditions andsocial distancing measures; constraints on productivity; management and staff non-essential business-related travel was constrained dueto stay-at-home orders; most employees have shifted to remote work resulting in loss of productivity; consumers visiting dispensariesoperated under license impacted by stay-at-home orders. Management continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic situation and federal,state and local recommendations and will provide updates as appropriate.

 

4.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principlesof Consolidation

 

Theaccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The consolidated financial statements includethe accounts of the Cryomass Technologies Inc, Cryomass LLC, and CMI, a VIE for which the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary.All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates as one segment fromits corporate headquarters in Colorado.

 

EffectiveDecember 31, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement involving its VIE with Critical Mass Industries, Inc. and JohnKnapp, the sole shareholder of Critical Mass Industries, Inc., to divest its discontinued operations in cannabis cultivation, where thebuyer assumes all assets and liabilities from the Company. Therefore, with regards to both criteria discussed above, the Company no longerhas the power to direct activities, absorb losses, or receive benefits from the VIE and as such will no longer consolidate with CMI.

 

F-36

 

 

Useof Estimates

 

Thepreparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financialstatements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in thesefinancial statements include, but are not limited to determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisition,determining the fair value and potential impairment of inventory, determining the useful lives and potential impairment of long-livedassets and potential impairment of goodwill. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specificor other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimateswhen there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certainitems in the consolidated financial statements were reclassified from prior periods for presentation purposes.

 

Cashand Cash Equivalents

 

TheCompany considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentrationsof Credit Risk

 

Financialinstruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. Periodically, the Companymaintains deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in financialinstitutions that it believes have high credit quality and has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Additionally, the companyentered into a $3,600,000 loan receivable in conjunction with the disposal of discontinued operations at the end of 2021, which is backedby the assets of the discontinued operations, should the borrower default. Aside from these items, the Company does not believe it isexposed to any unusual credit risk.

 

PurchaseAccounting for Acquisitions

 

Weapply the acquisition method of accounting for a business combination. In general, this methodology requires us to record assets acquiredand liabilities assumed at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Any amount of the purchase price paid that is inexcess of the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. For certain acquisitions, we also record a liabilityfor contingent consideration based on estimated future business performance. We monitor our assumptions surrounding these estimated futurecash flows and, if there is a significant change, would record an adjustment to the contingent consideration liability and a correspondingadjustment to either income or expense. We determine fair value using widely accepted valuation techniques, primarily discounted cashflow and market multiple analyses. These types of analyses require us to make assumptions and estimates regarding industry and economicfactors, the profitability of future business strategies, discount rates and cash flow.

 

Ifactual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information,we may be exposed to an impairment charge in the future. If the contingent consideration paid for any of our acquisitions differs fromthe amount initially recorded, we would record either income or expense associated with the change in liability.

 

F-37

 

 

VariableInterest Entities

 

TheCompany accounts for variable interest entities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. Management evaluatesthe relationship between the Company and VIEs and the economic benefit flow of the contractual arrangement with the VIEs. Managementdetermines if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE through a qualitative analysis that identifies which variable interestholder has the controlling financial interest in the VIE. The variable interest holder who has both of the following has the controllingfinancial interest and is the primary beneficiary: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact theVIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that couldpotentially be significant to the VIE. In performing our analysis, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the designand activities of the VIE, the terms of the contracts the VIE has entered into, the nature of the VIE’s variable interests issuedand how they were negotiated with or marketed to potential investors, and which parties participated significantly in the design or redesignof the entity. As a result of such evaluation, management concluded that the Company was the primary beneficiary of CMI and consolidatesthe financial results of this entity. Effective December 31, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement involving itsVIE with Critical Mass Industries, Inc. and John Knapp, the sole shareholder of Critical Mass Industries, Inc., to divest its discontinuedoperations in cannabis cultivation, where the buyer assumes all assets and liabilities from the Company. Therefore, with regards to bothcriteria discussed above, the Company no longer has the power to direct activities, absorb losses, or receive benefits from the VIE andas such will no longer consolidate with CMI.

 

AccountsReceivable, net

 

Accountsreceivable, net is comprised of balances due from customers and are recorded at the invoiced amount. Past due balances are determinedbased on the contractual terms of the arrangements. Accounts receivable are accrued against when management determines, after consideringeconomic and business conditions and all means of collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is consideredremote, that the collection of receivables is doubtful.

  

Inventory,net

 

Inventory,net is comprised of work-in-process and finished goods consisting of cannabis and cannabidiol products. Cost includes expenditures directlyrelated to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity.Inventory, net is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company compares the cost of inventory with market value andwrites down inventories to net realizable value, if lower. In evaluating whether inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizablevalue, management considers such factors as inventories on hand, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, estimatedtime to sell such inventories and current market conditions. Due to changing market conditions, management will periodically conducta thorough review of its inventory and record a provision for inventory losses if necessary. This is based on the Company’s bestestimates of product sales prices and customer demand patterns. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used by the Companyto determine its provision for inventory losses will be materially different from the actual amounts or results. These differences couldresult in materially higher than expected inventory provisions, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s resultsof operations and financial conditions in the near term.

 

RevenueRecognition

 

UnderFASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customerobtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchangefor those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s)with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate thetransaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performanceobligation.

 

DiscontinuedOperations

 

Forthe three months ended March 31, 2021, Company’s revenue consisted of sales of cannabis and ancillary products to both retail consumersand wholesale customers. Revenue for retail customers was recognized upon completion of the transaction in the point of sale system andsatisfaction of the sale by providing the corresponding inventory at the retail location. Revenue for wholesale customers was recognizedupon acceptance of the physical goods and confirmation by acceptance of the inventory in the regulatory marijuana enforcement trackingreporting compliance (“METRC”) system. Revenue was recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers,generally as risk of loss passes, in an amount that reflected the consideration the Company expected to receive in exchange for thoseproducts. Taxes collected from customers, which was subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, were excluded from revenue.

 

F-38

 

 

Retailcustomer loyalty liabilities were recognized in the period in which they were incurred and were often be retired without being utilized.Shipping and handling costs were expensed as incurred and are included in cost of sales.

 

TheCompany operated in a highly regulated environment in which state regulatory approval was required prior to the customer being able topurchase the product, either through the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division for wholesale clients or the Colorado Department ofPublic Health and Environment for medical patients.

 

Expenses

 

OperatingExpenses

 

Operatingexpenses encompass personnel costs, sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses,professional and legal fees and depreciation and amortization related to the property and equipment and intangibles acquired throughthe acquisition of CMI and Cryocann. Personnel costs consist primarily of consulting expense and administrative salaries and wages. Salesand marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and marketing, and salaries related to sales and marketing employees. Generaland administrative expenses are comprised of travel expenses, accounting expenses, and board fees. Professional services are principallycomprised of outside legal and professional fees.

 

DiscontinuedOperations

 

Costof Goods Sold, Net of Depreciation and Amortization

 

Costof goods sold primarily consisted of allocated salaries and wages of employees directly related with the production process, allocateddepreciation and amortization directly related to the production process, cultivation supplies, rent and utilities.

 

OtherExpense, net

 

Otherexpense, net consisted of interest expense, other income and (loss) gain on foreign exchange.

 

Stock-BasedCompensation

 

Thefair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted are measured on the grant date using the closing priceof the Company’s common shares on the grant date. For stock options, the Company engages a valuation firm to calculate the grantdate fair value of the options issued. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeituresover the course of a vesting period. All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidatedstatements of operations.

 

Propertyand Equipment, net

 

Purchaseof property and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenanceand repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are soldor retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the consolidatedstatements of operations. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated usefullife of each asset, as follows:

 

    Estimated
Useful Life
Computer equipment   35 years
Furniture and fixtures   57 years
Machinery and equipment   58 years
Leasehold improvements   Shorter of lease term
or 15 years

 

F-39

 

 

Goodwilland Intangible Assets

 

Goodwillrepresents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assetsacquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

 

Indefinite-livedintangible assets established in connection with business combinations consists of in process research and development. Intangible assetswith indefinite lives are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Once in process research and developmentis placed in service, it will be amortized over the estimated useful life.

 

Intangibleassets with finite lives are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimateduseful lives using the straight-line method. Amortization of assets ceases upon designation as held for sale. The estimated useful livesof intangible assets are detailed in the table below:

 

    Estimated
Useful Life
Patent   10 years
In process research and development   Indefinite

  

Impairmentof Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwillis not amortized, but instead is tested annually at December 31 for impairment and upon the occurrence of certain events or substantivechanges in circumstances.

 

Weaccount for the impairment of goodwill under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Update2017-04 (“ASU 2017-04”), “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for GoodwillImpairment” and FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-20-35, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Goodwill.

 

TheCompany performs impairment testing for goodwill by performing the following steps: 1) evaluate the relevant events or circumstancesto determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, 2) if yes tostep 1, calculate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it with its carrying amount, including goodwill, 3) recognize impairment,limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit, equal to the excess of the carrying value of a reporting unitover its fair value.

  

Managementconcluded that there were no events indicative of goodwill impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

Indefinite-LivedIntangible Assets and Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization

 

Indefinite-livedintangible assets and intangible assets subject to amortization are not amortized, but instead are tested annually at December 31 forimpairment and upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances.

 

Weaccount for the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-30-35, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill.Following this guidance, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets to its carrying value.If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company recognizes impairment equal to that excess.

 

F-40

 

 

Weaccount for the impairment of intangible assets subject to amortization under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Following this guidance, the Companycompares the estimated fair value of the intangible assets subject to amortization to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceedsthe fair value, the Company recognizes impairment equal to that excess.

 

Managementconcluded that there were no events indicative of identifiable intangible asset impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    

IncomeTaxes

 

TheCompany uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method,deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilitiesusing tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded whenit is likely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all yearssubject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordancewith ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policywill be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxingauthority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihoodthat a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.

 

FairValue Measurements

 

Certainassets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would bereceived for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liabilityin an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximizethe use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value areto be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are consideredobservable and the last is considered unobservable:

 

  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
     
  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

Thecarrying values reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses, inventories, accounts payable, and notes payableapproximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. There were no other assetsor liabilities that require fair value to be recalculated on a recurring basis.  

 

Thefair value of beneficial conversion features associated with convertible notes and the fair value of warrants are calculated utilizinglevel 2 inputs.

  

Whenmultiple instruments are issued in a single transaction, the total proceeds from the transaction should be allocated among the individualfreestanding instruments identified. The allocation occurs after identifying (1) all the freestanding instruments and (2) the subsequentmeasurement basis for those instruments. The subsequent measurement basis helps inform how the proceeds should be allocated. After theproceeds are allocated to the freestanding instruments, those instruments should be further evaluated for embedded features that mayneed to be bifurcated or separated.

 

F-41

 

 

Ifdebt or stock is issued with detachable warrants, the guidance in ASC 470-20-25-2 (applied by analogy to stock) requires that the proceedsbe allocated to the two instruments based on their relative fair values. This method is generally appropriate if debt or stock is issuedwith any other freestanding instrument that is classified in equity (such as a detachable forward contract) or as a liability but notsubject to subsequent fair value accounting.

 

Giventhat our convertible notes and common stock that were issued with warrants are both not subject to subsequent fair value accounting treatment,Management determined the relative fair value method shall be used for allocating the proceeds of the transaction. Under the relativefair value method, the instrument being analyzed is allocated a portion of the proceeds based on its fair value to the sum of the fairvalue of all the instruments covered int the allocation. Management additionally evaluates the facts and circumstances to determine whetherthe principal balance of convertible notes approximate their fair value, which we have concluded for all convertible notes issued.

 

NetLoss per Share

 

TheCompany follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”)on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividingnet income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemptionor forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflectthe actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding.Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.There were 1,933,982 unvested RSU’s considered potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and 2,050,000 unvestedRSU’s considered potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basicnet loss per share for each period.

 

RecentAccounting Pronouncements

 

InAugust 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt—Debt withConversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. The accountingmodel for beneficial conversion features is removed. The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscalyears beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company determined that this updatewill impact its financial statements.

OnJune 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Cryocann USA Corp, a California corporation (“Cryocann”),pursuant to which Company acquired substantially all the assets of Cryocann (the “Cryocann Acquisition”). The aggregate purchaseprice was $3,500,000 million in cash and 10,000,000 shares of Company common stock and a promissory note was issued for $1,252,316 payableby Company to Cryocann on October 15, 2021, which represents the remaining Purchase Price of $2,500,000 minus the amount owed by Cryocannunder a Loan Agreement dated April 23, 2021 by and between Cryocann and the Company.

 

TheCompany concluded that the Cryocann Acquisition qualified as a business combination under ASC 805. The Company’s allocation ofthe purchase price was calculated as follows:

Asif the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021, as reported in our pro forma basis, our net loss would have been $2,025,847 and our netloss per common share would have been $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Company records a provisionfor a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedfinancial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgmentsabout future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

 

LeaseCommitments

 

TheCompany accounts for lease transactions in accordance with Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which requires an entityto recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases.

ROU assets representthe Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligationto make lease payments arising from the lease.

 

Thereare no other leases that meet the reporting standards of ASU Topic 842 as the Company does not have any other leases with a term exceedingtwelve months. Other lease payments not accounted for under ASU Topic 842 total $0 and $14,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2022and 2021, respectively.
