This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

 

material risks associated with our overall business, including:

 

 

our history of losses, potential liquidity concerns, and our ability to continue as a going concern;

 

our reliance to market to key digital channels;

possible changes in the use of CBD.

 

 

material risks associated with the ownership of our securities, including;

 

  the risks for failing to comply with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American;

our inability to pay dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and 

 

dilution upon the issuance of shares of common stock underlying outstanding convertible notes, warrants, options and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

On March 15, 2021 cbdMD formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, cbdMD Therapeutics, LLC (“Therapeutics”) for the purposes of isolating and quantifying the Company’s ongoing investments in science related to its existing and future products, including research and development activities for therapeutic applications.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of cbdMD have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 2023 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2023 as reported in the 2023 10-K have been omitted.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

12

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for credit losses, if applicable. Credit is extended to customers after an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally collateral is not required as a condition of credit extension. Management’s determination of the allowance for credit losses is based on an evaluation of the receivables, past experience, current economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the receivables portfolio. As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, we had an allowance for credit losses of $179,419 and $42,180, respectively.

 

Merchant Receivable and Reserve

 

The Company primarily sells its products through the internet and has an arrangement to process customer payments with third-party payment processors and negotiate the fee based on the market. The arrangement with the payment processors requires that the Company pay a fee between 2.5% and 5.0% of the transaction amounts processed. Pursuant to this agreement, there can be a waiting period between 2 to 5 days prior to reimbursement to the Company, as well as a calculated reserve which some payment processors hold back. Fees and reserves can change periodically with notice from the processors. At March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the receivable from payment processors included approximately $498,096 and $585,345, respectively, for the waiting period amount and is recorded as accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Inventory

 

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

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

Fair Value Accounting

 

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

 

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

 

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

Intangible Assets

 

The Company's intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intellectual property, all of which were previously accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company employed the non-amortization approach to account for purchased intangible assets having indefinite lives. Under the non-amortization approach, intangible assets having indefinite lives were not amortized into the results of operations, but instead were reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, to assess whether their fair value exceeds their carrying value. We previously performed an annual impairment analysis each fiscal year on the indefinite-lived intangible assets following the steps laid out in ASC 350-30-35-18. Our annual impairment analysis included a qualitative assessment to determine if it was necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing a qualitative assessment, we reviewed events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine if the fair value was less than the carrying value of the intangible assets. If a quantitative analysis was necessary, we would analyze various aspects including revenues from the business, associated with the intangible assets. In addition, intangible assets would be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. The Company analyzed a variety of factors on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at the time and based on the information then known, had determined that is it was more likely than not that an impairment loss had occurred.

 

The Company now accounts for its trademarks in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company began amortizing its trademarks over 20 years beginning  January 1, 2022 and would perform impairment tests as prescribed by ASC 360, which states that impairment testing should be completed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset group's carrying value  may not be recoverable. If there are indications that the asset group's carrying value  may not be recoverable, there are two further steps involved in long-lived asset impairment testing. Step I of the impairment test, as per ASC 360, involves estimating the recoverable amount of the asset group and determining the potential for impairment. Step II of the impairment test, as per ASC 360, if necessary, involves quantifying the fair value of the asset group. During July of fiscal 2023, the Company determined that based on regulatory uncertainty and ongoing Company performance it was prudent to change the amortization of the “cbdMD” and “directCBDonline” trademarks to 5 years and “hempMD” trademark to 10 years.  This became a triggering event for an impairment test under ASC360 which resulted in an impairment of the intangibles in  July 2023.  As of the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, a significant decline in market capitalization of both classes of equity triggered a subsequent impairment test, resulting in additional impairment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

 

Contingent Liability

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

14

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company meets that obligation when it has shipped products which have been ordered to the customer. The Company has reviewed its various revenue streams for its other contracts under the five-step approach. At March 31, 2024, the Company has no unfulfilled performance obligations.

 

Allocation of Transaction Price

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Disaggregated Revenue

 

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

 

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

 

 

-

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

  

 

 

-

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

 

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

 

Other than account receivable, Company has no material contract assets nor contract liabilities at March 31, 2024.

Cost of Sales 

 

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

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

Concentrations

 

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

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. The Company had a $1.3 million uninsured balance at March 31, 2024 and a $1.2 million uninsured balance at September 30, 2023.

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables is principally limited to trade receivables with corporate customers that meet specific credit policies. Management considers these customer receivables to represent normal business risk. The Company did not have any customers that represented a significant amount of our sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

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

 

16

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

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

 

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

 

Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company experienced a loss of $4,007,065 for the six months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in a reduction of net working capital of $203,308.

 

While the Company is taking strong action, believes in the viability of its strategy and path to profitability, and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.  The Company’s working capital position  may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations for the twelve months subsequent to the issuance of these annual financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve profitability and the ability to acquire additional funding. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date that the annual financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that  may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

 

 

Convertible Notes

 

Effective February 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated January 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with five institutional investors (the “Investors”) whereby the Investors advanced the Company an aggregate of $1,250,000 gross proceeds and the Company issued each Investor an 8% Senior Secured Original Issue 20% Discount Convertible Promissory Note, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,541,666 (the “Notes”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 Fair Value Measurements for the Notes. The Notes were initially recognized at fair value on the balance sheet. All subsequent changes in fair value, excluding the impact of the change in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk are recorded in non-operating income. The changes in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 12 for more information related to the Notes.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326) effective  October 1, 2023. This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. The Company evaluated the impacts of this standard and has determined that is does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

NOTE 2 MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT OTHER SECURITIES

 

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

 

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

 

On April 7, 2022, CBD Industries, LLC entered into an asset sale agreement to sell substantially all its manufacturing assets to a subsidiary of Steady State, LLC ("Steady State"). The equipment sale is initially valued at approximately $1.8 million for accounting purposes, the sale price consisting of products to be provided to the Company under the manufacturing and supply agreement and $1.4 million of which the Company invested into Steady State in the form of an equity investment consistent with the terms of Steady State's completed series C financing. As of September 30, 2023, the Company determined it was prudent to impair this investment by $700,000. The Company has classified this investment as Level 3 for fair value measurement purposes as there are no observable inputs and has included in non-current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company holds this investment for longer than a year.

 

17

 

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

NOTE 6 CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

 

As consideration for the Mergers, described in Note 1, the Company had a contractual obligation to issue 338,889 shares of its common stock, after approval by its shareholders, to the members of Cure Based Development, issued in two tranches 144,445 shares and 194,945 shares, both of which were subject to leak out provisions, and the unrestricted voting rights to 194,445 tranche of shares which vested over a five year period and were subject to a voting proxy agreement. 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Aggregate Net Revenues

 

Shares Issued/ Each $ of Aggregate Net Revenue Ratio

 
    

$1 - $20,000,000

 0.00423615 

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

 0.002118075

 0.001059038 

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

 0.000529519 

 

An aggregate of 271,405 shares were issued over the initial three marking periods. The fourth marketing period began on  July 1, 2022 and ended during  November 2023. The revenue for the fourth marking period totaled approximately $35.8 million.  Based on the ratios, and subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company determined the final Earnout Shares to be issued were 19,818. The shares were issued on January 11, 2024 and there is no further Earnout obligation.

 

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

 

NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

None.  

 

NOTE 8 SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY

 

Preferred Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. In October 2019, the Company designated 5,000,000 of these shares as 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. Our 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock for liquidation or dividend provisions and holders are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 8.0% payable monthly in arrears for the prior month. The Company reviewed ASC 480Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity in order to determine the appropriate accounting treatment for the preferred stock and determined that the preferred stock should be treated as equity. There were 5,000,000 shares of 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

 

The total amount of preferred dividends declared and accrued were $1,000,500 and 2,001,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and the total amount of preferred dividends declared and paid were $1,000,500 and $2,001,502 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall. As of the filing of this report, Keystone has purchased an aggregate of 180,955 shares under the ELOC.

 

On April 12, 2023, the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split. All fractional shares were rounded up when effectuating the reverse stock split. A total of 39,455 shares of common stock were issued to account for rounding up of fractional shares.

The expected volatility rate for the Company's stock options was estimated based on a weighted average mix of the volatilities of the Company and a peer group of companies in similar industries. The expected term used was the full term of the contract for the issuances. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Treasury securities. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, and thereby materially impact our fair value determination.

NOTE 9 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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