EDIBLE GARDEN AG INCORPORATED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization and Recent Developments

 

Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on April 9, 2013. On March 28, 2020, Edible Garden Inc., a Wyoming corporation, was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring substantially all of the operating assets of Edible Garden Corp., which was a separately identified reportable segment of its parent company Blum Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Terra Tech Corporation). The acquisition was completed on March 30, 2020. Prior to March 30, 2020, Edible Garden AG Incorporated had no operations. Hereafter, Edible Garden AG Incorporated and its subsidiaries will collectively be referred to as “Edible Garden,” “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or the “Successor.” Edible Garden Corp., a formerly wholly owned subsidiary of Blum Holdings, Inc. will be referred to as the “Predecessor.” Throughout these financial statements, the Successor and the Predecessor are also referred to as “the Company” and used interchangeably, unless otherwise noted. On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired the Predecessor for the nominal price of $1.00. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for additional information.

 

We authorized 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), at formation. On October 14, 2020, we simultaneously declared a 20-for-1 forward stock split of our common stock and increased the number of authorized common shares to 20,000,000. On June 30, 2021, we simultaneously (1) converted Edible Garden from a Wyoming into a Delaware corporation, (2) declared a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of our common stock, and (3) increased the total number of authorized common shares to 50,000,000. On September 8, 2021, we simultaneously declared a 20-for-1 forward stock split of our common stock and increased the number of authorized common shares to 200,000,000. On January 18, 2022, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, which became effective on May 3, 2022. On January 26, 2023, we effected a reverse stock split of 1-for-30 and decreased the total number of authorized common shares to 6,666,667. On June 8, 2023, we increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 6,666,667 shares to 10,000,000 shares.

 

On November 10, 2023, we increased the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 20,000,000 to 110,000,000 and increased the total authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. On April 5, 2024, we declared a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. The conversion or exercise prices of our issued and outstanding stock options and warrants were adjusted in connection with the reverse stock split.

 

All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this report have been adjusted to reflect the stock splits described above.

 

Nature of Business

 

Edible Garden is a retail seller of locally grown hydroponic produce, nutraceuticals and hot sauce, which is distributed throughout the Northeast and Midwest. Currently, Edible Garden’s products are sold at over 5,000 supermarkets. Our target customers are those individuals seeking fresh produce locally grown using environmentally sustainable methods.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The December 31, 2023 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

Table of Contents

 

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included.

 

Going Concern 

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. In an effort to achieve liquidity that would be sufficient to meet all of our commitments, the Company may seek funding through additional debt or equity financing arrangements, implement incremental expense reduction measures or a combination thereof to continue financing its operations. 

 

However, we believe that even after taking these actions, we will not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy all of our future financial obligations. The risks and uncertainties surrounding our ability to continue our business with limited capital resources raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 11, “Going Concern” for additional information.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements to Be Adopted in Future Periods

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 primarily require entities to disclose certain significant segment expenses and other segment items on both an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial statement disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and expect to adopt this ASU for the year ending December 31, 2025.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Examples of significant estimates and assumptions include provisions for doubtful accounts, accrued liabilities, discount rates used in the measurement and recognition of lease liabilities and valuation of our warrants. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require us to make judgments, involving an analysis of historical and future trends, that can require extended periods of time to resolve, and are subject to change from period to period. In all cases, actual results could differ materially from our estimates.

Table of Contents

 

Trade and Other Receivables

 

The Company extends non-interest-bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business which is not collateralized. Accounts receivable are shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheets net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company analyzes the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable. The reserve for credit losses was $92,351 and $136,858 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, five customers accounted for approximately 85.0% of our total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, five customers accounted for approximately 83.0% of our total revenue. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 82.5% of our gross outstanding trade receivables were attributed to four customers, 27.3% of which was due from one customer. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 80.4% of our gross outstanding trade receivables were attributed to four customers, 41.1% of which was due from one customer. This concentration of customers leaves us exposed to the risks associated with the loss of one or more of these significant customers, which would materially and adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

 

The Company maintains a cash balance in a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations. The amount in excess of insured limitations was approximately $2.0 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost of our inventory, as determined using the first-in, first-out method, or its net realizable value. We periodically review our physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserve accordingly. Our reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based on expected future use. Our reserve estimates have historically been consistent with our actual experience as evidenced by actual sale or disposal of the goods. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was not material as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses consist of various payments that the Company has made in advance for goods or services to be received in the future. These prepaid expenses include advertising, insurance, and service or other contracts requiring up-front payments.

 

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Net

 

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our fixed assets, which are comprised of leasehold improvements, equipment and vehicles, have useful lives of five years.

 

Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying balances of its property, equipment and leasehold improvements may not be recoverable in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. See Note 4, “Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Net” for further information.

Table of Contents

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets continue to be subject to amortization, and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Intangible assets are stated at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a straight-line method of amortization, unless a method that better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up can be reliably determined.

 

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or if a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall, or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, we group our amortizable intangible assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the intangible asset (asset group) exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible asset (asset group), the Company will write the carrying value down to the fair value in the period the impairment is identified.

 

Revenue Recognition and Performance Obligations

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. Payments from our customers are due upon delivery or within a short period after delivery.

Contract Balances

 

Due to the nature of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers, the Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC Topic 606.

 

Contract Estimates and Judgments

 

On January 1, 2024, the Company and Meijer Distribution, Inc. (the “Buyer”) entered into two agreements pursuant to which the Company will supply and sell products to the Buyer (the “Agreements”). Under the Agreements, the Company sells (i) fresh cut herbs, including basil, bay leaves, chives, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme; (ii) hydroponic basil; and (iii) potted herbs, including basil, chives, cilantro, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, wheatgrass; in quantities and on a delivery schedule requested by the Buyer at prices per unit set in advance by the Company and the Buyer. Under the Agreements, the Company and the Buyer will renegotiate the prices for each unit annually, provided that the price per unit will not increase or decrease at a rate greater than the change in the relevant Consumer Price Index in that year. Once set, the pricing terms will remain fixed for the remainder of the year. Any price increases will take effect after sixty days and any price decrease will be effective immediately. If the Company and the Buyer are unable to mutually agree on price increases, the Company will have the power to terminate the Agreements immediately.

 

In addition, under the agreement governing the purchase of potted herbs, the Company agreed to fund the installation of fixtures in each of the Buyer’s stores to display the potted herbs in an aggregate amount of $806,947. These payments were made as a weekly deduction from the Company’s receivables from the Buyer.

 

The Agreements became effective as of January 1, 2024 and expire on December 31, 2026. The Agreements may be renewed for an additional two-year term upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the Buyer. The Agreements may be terminated by the Buyer without cause upon sixty days’ prior notice.

 

Management has determined the payments for the fixtures should be treated as a reduction in revenue under the guidance of ASC 606. As we do not expect the agreement to be terminated before the end of the three-year term, the aggregate cost of the fixtures of approximately $806,947 will be treated as a reduction in the transaction price of products sold to the Buyer during the three-year term of the contract.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold includes materials, labor and overhead costs incurred in cultivating, producing, and shipping our products.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Other Expenses – Advertising Cost.” Advertising expenses totaled $149,886 and $39,265 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted loss per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Therefore, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding were the same for all periods. However, if diluted earnings per share had been reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the calculations would have excluded warrants to purchase 37,808,427 and 179,344 shares of common stock, respectively, because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Table of Contents

 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, such net operating losses were offset entirely by a valuation allowance.

 

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50.0% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s principal decision makers are the Chief Executive Officer and its Interim Chief Financial Officer. Management believes that its business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss as a whole; b) the principal decision makers do not review information based on any operating segment; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services, and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas.

The First Sament Note accrued interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum on a 360-day year basis and had a maturity date of March 30, 2025. The First Sament Note was secured by the Company’s operating assets purchased from the Predecessor.  On November 15, 2023, Sament assigned the note to various third parties who are not affiliated with the Company. On September 30, 2024, the Company prepaid the principal and accrued interest due under the First Sament Note with a premium of $155,322. As a result of the agreement, the Company repaid $3,106,458 of outstanding principal and $9,061 of accrued interest. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss from extinguishment of debt equal to $163,584 for the premium paid plus the unamortized debt discount on the First Sament Note. As of December 31, 2023, the total outstanding balance of $3,106,458 is included in “Long-term debt, net of discounts” on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the unamortized discount related to the promissory note was $19,429. Total accrued interest on the First Sament Note as of December 31, 2023 was $9,363.

 

On June 2, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note for $653,870 with Sament (the “Second Sament Note”), which accrued interest at a rate of 3.50% per annum and had a maturity date of June 3, 2023.

Future Receivables Financing Agreement with Cedar Advance, LLC

 

On March 14, 2024, the Company entered into a standard merchant cash advance agreement (the “Cedar Agreement”) with Cedar Advance LLC (“Cedar”), dated as of March 12, 2024, pursuant to which the Company sold to Cedar $1,491,000 of its future accounts receivable for a purchase price of $1,050,000, less fees and expenses of $50,000, for net funds provided of $1,000,000.

 

Pursuant to the Cedar Agreement, Cedar was expected to withdraw $53,250 a week directly from the Company’s bank account until the $1,491,000 due to Cedar under the Cedar Agreement is paid in full. To secure the Company’s obligations under the Cedar Agreement, the Company granted Cedar a security interest in all accounts, including all deposit accounts, accounts receivable, and other receivables, and proceeds as those terms are defined by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Collateral”). In addition, the Company agreed not to incur, directly or indirectly, any lien on or with respect to the Collateral. In the event of a default (as defined in the Cedar Agreement), Cedar, among other remedies, can enforce its security interest in the Collateral and demand payment in full of the uncollected receivables purchased plus all fees due under the Cedar Agreement.

 

On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated standard merchant cash advance agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Cedar. Under the Restated Agreement, the Company sold to Cedar a total of $2,485,000 of its future accounts receivable collections for a purchase price of $1,750,000. The Company received cash of $544,250 after pay-off of the remaining amount due under the Cedar Agreement of $1,118,250 and fees and expenses of $87,500. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, the Company is required to pay Cedar 35.0% of all funds collected weekly from customers and Cedar is expected to withdraw $65,395 per week from the Company’s bank account until the $2,485,000 due to Cedar (representing $1,750,000 of principal and $735,000 of interest) under the Restated Agreement is paid in full. Except as amended by the Restated Agreement, the remaining terms of the Cedar Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

Management determined the Restated Agreement should be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $334,806 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Accrued interest and unamortized financing fees on the loan totaled $19,910 and $39,142 as of September 30, 2024, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On January 18, 2022 in connection with the IPO, the board of directors (the “Board”) approved the Edible Garden AG Incorporated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan provides for equity incentive compensation for employees, non-employee directors, and any other individuals who perform services for the Company. The number of shares initially available for grant under the 2022 Plan was 50,000. A variety of discretionary awards are authorized under the 2022 Plan, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The vesting of such awards may be conditioned upon either a specified period of time or the attainment of specific performance goals as determined by the administrator of the 2022 Plan. The option price and terms are also subject to determination by the administrator with respect to each grant.

 

On June 8, 2023 the stockholders of the Company approved the First Amendment to the 2022 Plan, which increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 15,000 shares and extended the term of the 2022 Plan until June 8, 2033.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 6,000 restricted stock awards to employees and consultants of the Company as compensation.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

 

Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Such assets are classified as right-of-use assets (“lease assets”) with a corresponding lease liability.

 

Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recorded at commencement at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term. As the implicit discount rate for the present value calculation is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement of the lease. The expected lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

 

The Company has finance leases for various vehicles with terms of approximately 3 years. The Company’s finance lease agreements do not contain any material non-lease components, residual value guarantees, or material restrictive covenants.

 

Finance leases recorded on the balance sheet consist of the following as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company was party to an ongoing arrangement with our predecessor company, Edible Garden Corp., whereby the Company made lease payments of approximately $22,189 per month to the lessor of the land on which our flagship facility is built and for which our predecessor company was the lessee. Our month-to-month arrangement meets the definition of a short-term lease and is therefore excluded from the recognition requirements of ASC 842, “Leases”. On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Edible Garden Corp. and assumed the lease of the land its flagship facility is built on. Refer to Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for additional details.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total operating lease cost was $229,036, all of which was associated with short-term leases. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, total operating lease cost was $218,472, of which $138,192 was associated with short-term leases. As of December 31, 2023, a short-term operating lease liability of $34,415 is included within “Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Effective January 25, 2024, Michael James retired from his positions as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and Director of the Company. In connection with Mr. James’s retirement, on January 24, 2024, the Company and Mr. James entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. James a severance payment of $300,000 in the form of salary continuation until January 2025. In addition, Mr. James is eligible to earn milestone payments under the Separation Agreement in an aggregate amount up to $300,000 if he completes certain transitional deliverables for the Company. Of this amount, the Company has paid $191,667 in milestone payments to Mr. James as of September 30, 2024. The Company granted Mr. James a restricted stock award with a fair value equal to $25,000 as of April 2, 2024.

 

As described in detail in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” on February 8, 2024, the Company entered into two agreements with the Buyer to supply and sell products over a three-year period. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid approximately $806,947 to the Buyer for product displays and fixtures during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

From time to time, we may be party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that there is any pending or threatened proceeding against us, which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

NOTE 11 – GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company began operating in 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $7.97 million. We expect to experience further significant net losses in the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash available for operations of $2.21 million. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have raised capital through our issuance of debt and equity securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.

 

We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenue and reduce costs to a point of positive cash flow. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling securities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations, or if we are able to raise capital, that it will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.

 

The issuance of additional securities may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

 

The risks and uncertainties surrounding our ability to raise capital and to continue our business with limited capital resources raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. 

 

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued for events requiring recording or disclosure in the September 30, 2024 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Issuances of Common Stock

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company issued 1,216,650 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the obligation to issue the remaining shares of common stock from the September Offering. Additionally, the Company issued 3,301,000 shares of common stock for Pre-Funded Warrant exercises.

  

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company issued 16 shares of common stock to employees upon the vesting of restricted stock units previously granted to the employees, pursuant to the 2022 Plan.

   

Acquisition of Edible Garden Corp.

 

On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired Edible Garden Corp. (“EGC”) from Unrivaled Brands, Inc., the Company’s former parent company, for the nominal price of $1.00. At the Company’s inception, it had acquired substantially all of the assets of EGC from Unrivaled Brands, Inc., except for the lease agreement between EGC and Whitetown Realty, LLC (the “Landlord”), made as of December 30, 2014 (the “Lease Agreement”), as amended by a lease extension agreement between EGC and the Landlord, dated September 10, 2019 (the “Lease Extension,” together with the Lease Agreement, the “Lease”), for a 5-acre greenhouse location in Belvidere, New Jersey. As a result, prior to October 1, 2024, the Company had operated the New Jersey property through an informal arrangement with EGC in which the Company effectively rented the property on a month-to-month basis with no set term. On October 1, 2024, upon the closing of its acquisition of EGC, the Company assumed the Lease and became subject to its terms. The Lease has a term that commenced on January 1, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2029. Under the terms of the Lease, the Company will pay the Landlord a monthly lease payment of approximately $22,189

 

The Lease includes customary covenants, terms, and conditions, along with two options that may be exercised at the discretion of the Company to extend the term of the Lease for additional periods of five years each by providing written notice at least nine months prior to expiration of the current term, provided that no default of the Lease has occurred. Under the Lease, if the Landlord desires to sell the New Jersey property and receives a bona fide written offer, the Company has the right to purchase the New Jersey property at the same price and terms contained in the bona fide written offer. In the event the Company terminates the Lease early, as further described in the Lease, the security deposit of $28,000 will be forfeited to the Landlord as liquidated damages. If the Company (i) fails to pay any lease payment, and such failure continues for five days following the due date, or (ii) breaches any other agreement, covenant or obligation included in the Lease and fails to cure the breach within fifteen days after notice from the Landlord, the Landlord may terminate the Lease upon five business days’ notice to the Company.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a controlled environment agriculture (“CEA”) farming company. We use traditional agricultural growing techniques together with technology to grow fresh, organic food, sustainably and safely while improving traceability. We use the controlled environment of traditional greenhouse structures, such as glass greenhouses, together with hydroponic and vertical greenhouses to sustainably grow organic herbs, lettuces and floral products. In our hydroponic greenhouse, we grow plants without soil. Instead of planting one row of lettuce in the ground, by using a vertical greenhouse, we can grow many towers of lettuce in the same area by planting up instead of planting across. Growing these products sustainably means that we avoid depleting natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance, such as by renewing, reusing and recycling materials in order to lower the overall one-time use of materials.

 

Our controlled greenhouse facilities allow us to grow consistent quality herbs and lettuces year-round, first by eliminating some of the variability of outdoor farming with our CEA techniques, and second by leveraging our proprietary software, GreenThumb. In addition to using hydroponic and vertical greenhouse systems, we use a “closed loop” system in our greenhouses. Generally, in a “closed loop” system, drain water is recollected and reused for irrigation. In our closed loop system, we also cycle water back into the system that has been collected through reverse osmosis. When compared with conventional agriculture, our closed looped systems and hydroponic methods use less land, less energy and less water (than legacy farms), thus conserving some of the planet’s limited natural resources. Our advanced systems are also designed to help mitigate contamination from harmful pathogens, including salmonella, e-coli and others.

 

We have also developed patented software called GreenThumb that assists in tracking plants through our supply chain. Utilizing our GreenThumb software to track the status of our plants as they grow and move throughout the greenhouse allows us to add a layer of quality control due to the frequent monitoring of the growing process, leading to improved traceability. In this context, traceability means being able to track a plant through all stages of production and distribution. In addition to improving traceability, GreenThumb helps us better manage the day-to-day operations of our business. GreenThumb is a web-based greenhouse management and demand planning system that does the following:

 

 

integrates in real-time with our cloud business software suite for monitoring daily sales data;

 

generates reports by category, product, customer, and farm to allow us to analyze sales, trends, margins and retail shrink (spoiled product);

 

provides dynamic pallet mapping for packout, which enables us to more efficiently ship our products;

 

utilizes a proprietary algorithm that uses year-over-year and trending sales data to develop customer specific and aggregate product specific forecasting for our greenhouses;

 

aggregates all greenhouse activity input to provide real-time inventory and availability reports of all products in our greenhouses;

 

manages our online ordering system with user-controlled product availability based upon greenhouse inventory;

 

provides a route management system for coordinating the logistics of our direct store delivery program; and

 

tracks all production activities at greenhouses, including sowing, spacing, dumping, spraying, picking and packing, using handheld devices.

 

We also use our GreenThumb software to help monitor the quality of our products, and we have dedicated quality assurance and quality control personnel that check and monitor our products. We have customer service personnel that answer any questions the consumers of our products may have, and we regularly ask for feedback from our customers on the quality of our products. The combination of the GreenThumb software, quality assurance and control processes (including compliance with food safety standards), and feedback from consumers and purchasers holds us accountable for maintaining the quality of our herbs and lettuce.

 

We focus our efforts on producing our herbs and vegetables in a sustainable manner that will reduce consumption of natural resources, by recycling water in our closed loop system and using LED lights instead of conventional lightbulbs to accelerate crop growth and yield, when necessary. In addition, the inventory management component of GreenThumb allows us to manage inventory levels, order quantities and fill rates while maximizing truck loads. This means that we are better able to control shipping our products in full truck loads, thus eliminating multiple deliveries and decreasing the excess emission of greenhouse gases that would result from many partially full trucks delivering our products. Together, these elements of our production and distribution process are intended to reduce our carbon footprint, or the total amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by our actions, as compared with a legacy farm business.

We believe our focus on our brand “Edible Garden” is a significant differentiator. The brand not only lends itself to our current portfolio of products but allows us to develop other products in the “Consumer Brands” category. Our focus on sustainability, traceability, and social contribution, which we define as an ongoing effort to improve employee relations, working conditions, and local communities, presents our value proposition to our customers and supermarket partners and distributors. 

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

Nasdaq Compliance

 

On October 21, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for at least 30 consecutive business days, we no longer met Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”).

 

On October 28, 2024, we submitted a request for a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the delisting notice from the Staff. Until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision, our common stock and warrants will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols “EDBL” and “EDBLW,” respectively. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant us additional time to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards or that we could ultimately meet all applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq.

 

Acquisition of Edible Garden Corp.

 

On October 1, 2024, we acquired Edible Garden Corp. (“EGC”) from Unrivaled Brands, Inc., our former parent company, for the nominal price of $1.00. At our inception, we had acquired substantially all of the assets of EGC from Unrivaled Brands, Inc., except for the lease agreement between EGC and Whitetown Realty, LLC (the “Landlord”), made as of December 30, 2014 (the “Lease Agreement”), as amended by a lease extension agreement between EGC and the Landlord, dated September 10, 2019 (the “Lease Extension,” together with the Lease Agreement, the “Lease”), for a 5-acre greenhouse location in Belvidere, New Jersey. As a result, prior to October 1, 2024, we had operated the New Jersey property through an informal arrangement with EGC in which we effectively rented the property on a month-to-month basis with no set term. On October 1, 2024, upon the closing of its acquisition of EGC, we assumed the Lease and became subject to its terms. The Lease has a term that commenced on January 1, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2029. Under the terms of the Lease, we will pay the Landlord a monthly lease payment of approximately $22,189.

 

Payoff of Secured Promissory Note

 

On March 30, 2020, we entered into a promissory note (the “First Sament Note”) for $3,000,000 with Sament Capital Investments, Inc. (“Sament”) in connection with the acquisition of EGC’s assets. The First Sament Note accrued interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum on a 360-day year basis and had a maturity date of March 30, 2025. The First Sament Note was secured by our operating assets purchased from EGC. On September 30, 2024, we prepaid the principal and accrued interest due under the First Sament Note with a premium of $155,322. As a result of the agreement, we repaid $3,106,458 of outstanding principal and $9,061 of accrued interest. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a loss from extinguishment of debt equal to $163,584 for the premium paid less the unamortized debt discount on the First Sament Note.

September 2024 Public Offering

 

On September 30, 2024, we closed on a best-efforts public offering (the “September Offering”) of (i) 4,240,650 common units, each consisting of one share of common stock, one Class A warrant (“Class A Warrant”) to purchase one share of common stock and one Class B warrant (“Class B Warrant,” together with the Class A Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock at a purchase price of $0.36 per unit; and (ii) 11,460,000 pre-funded units, each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock, one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant at a purchase price of $0.35 per unit. The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.36. Gross proceeds from the September Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $5.6 million.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The following accounting policies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience, the relevant information available at the end of each period, and their judgment. Although management believes the judgment applied in preparing estimates is reasonable based on circumstances and information known at the time, actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions.

 

The most significant accounting estimates involve a high degree of judgment or complexity. Management believes the estimates and judgments most critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and to the understanding of our reported financial results include allowance for doubtful accounts. The following are the accounting policies most critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. Payments from our customers are due upon delivery or within a short period after delivery.

 

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

 

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our fixed assets, which are comprised of leasehold improvements, equipment and vehicles, have useful lives of five years. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

 

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying balances of its property, equipment and leasehold improvements may not be recoverable in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, such net operating losses were offset entirely by a valuation allowance.

 

 
27

Table of Contents

 

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50.0% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue

 

Revenue was $2.584 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.289 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in revenue of $705 thousand was driven by our strategic shift away from the sale of lower margin products; specifically, lettuce and floral. Combined, the omission of these two products drove a decrease of $597 thousand. In addition, certain shipments of our nutraceutical products were delayed due to a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, which caused $215 thousand of revenue to shift to the fourth quarter. This was partially offset by an increase in cut herbs of 10% ($98 thousand) and the addition of Pulp revenue of $30 thousand. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, total revenue was reduced by approximately $67 thousand as we adjusted the transaction price of our sales to a customer to account for funds we agreed to pay to the customer for the installation of fixtures in their stores. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Table of Contents

 

Cost of goods sold

 

Cost of goods sold were $1.885 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.277 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold decreased $1.392 million, or 42.5%, primarily driven by our seasonally low sales in the current quarter and the elimination of the use of large third-party growers that previously made up a material portion of our cost of goods sold.

 

Selling, general and administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $2.189 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.387 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. SG&A decreased $198 thousand, or 8.3%, due to a reduction in labor costs and professional fees.

 

Loss from operations

 

Lower cost of goods sold along with lower SG&A expenses resulted in a loss from operations of $1.490 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.375 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net loss from operations was $885 thousand, or 37.3% compared with the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense was $409 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $57 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Higher interest expense was related to the amended and restated standard merchant cash advance agreement with Cedar Advance LLC (the “Cedar Agreement”).

 

Loss from extinguishment of debt

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss from the extinguishment of the First Sament Note of $164 thousand related to the premium paid associated with the early payoff of the First Sament Note. 

 

Net loss

 

Net loss was $2.063 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $2.431 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of the net loss of $368 thousand, or 15.1%, was primarily driven by a 27% expansion of gross profit margin and lower SG&A offset by other expenses.

Revenue

 

Revenue was $9.985 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $9.965 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in revenue of $20 thousand, was primarily attributed to an increase in customer demand for our core products of cut herbs and potted herbs. Revenue from cut herbs increased by 55% ($1.1 million) and our potted herb revenue increased by $179 thousand (5%). In 2024 there was additional revenue supplied by the new Pulp product offering of $67 thousand. This was offset by our strategic shift away from low margin floral and lettuce products which decreased by $1 million along with the hurricane-related delay of recognizing revenue from nutraceuticals in the third quarter of 2024.

Table of Contents

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total revenue was reduced by approximately $124 thousand as we adjusted the transaction price of our sales to a customer to account for funds we agreed to pay to the customer for the installation of fixtures in their stores. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

 

Cost of goods sold

 

Cost of goods sold were $7.696 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $9.425 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold decreased $1.729 million, or 18.3%, primarily due to our shift away from using third party growers for some of our produce business as our Michigan facility production capacity was brought online during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Selling, general and administrative

 

SG&A expenses were $8.823 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $7.458 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. SG&A increased $1.365 million, or 18.3%, due to a one-time severance charge of $0.6 million related to the departure of our Chief Financial Officer and higher audit, accounting and legal fees related to our capital raising activities.

 

Loss from operations

 

Higher SG&A expense resulted in a loss from operations of $6.534 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6.918 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in loss from operations was $384 thousand, or 5.6% compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to improvement in gross margin during the period and offset by higher SG&A expense.

Interest expense

 

Interest expense was $944 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $334 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Higher interest expense was a result of the company entering into and amending the Cedar Agreement.

 

Loss from extinguishment of debt

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss from the extinguishment of debt of $498 thousand related to the Cedar Agreement and the early payoff of the First Sament Note.

 

Net loss

 

Net loss was $7.972 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $5.948 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net loss for the nine months ending September 30, 2023 included one time Employee Retention Credit income of $1.233 million. Without this one-time income item, the net loss for the nine months ending September 30, 2023 was $7.181 million.  The reasons for the increase in net loss are explained above.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Going Concern Considerations

 

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We recognized net losses of approximately $7.972 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $10.188 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, we have an accumulated deficit of $38.2 million. Our operating activities used $6.6 million and $8.5 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. We expect our capital expenses and operational expenses to increase in the future due to expected increased sales and marketing expenses, operational costs, and general and administrative costs. Therefore, we believe our operating losses will continue at least through the near term.

 

The risks and uncertainties surrounding our ability to continue our business with limited capital resources raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. Our financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which implies we may not continue to meet our obligations and continue our operations for the next twelve months. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, holders of our securities might lose their entire investment. These factors, among others, may make it difficult to raise any additional capital and may cause us to be unable to continue to operate our business.

 

There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us in the amounts, on terms, and at times deemed acceptable to us, if at all. The issuance of additional equity or equity-linked securities by us would result in significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business as planned and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations, which could cause our stockholders to lose some or all of their investment in us. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity

 

The Company’s primary liquidity requirements are for working capital, continued investments in capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness, and other strategic investments. Although income taxes are not currently a significant use of funds, after the benefits of our net operating loss carryforwards are fully recognized, they could become a material use of funds, depending on our future profitability and future tax rates. The Company’s liquidity needs have been met primarily through public equity offerings, term loan borrowings, accounts receivable financing, convertible notes, and related party loans.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $2.214 million and $510 thousand in cash and cash equivalents available, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used $6.761 million of cash for operating activities. As of September 30, 2024, we had working capital of $524 thousand. As of December 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $257 thousand. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $2.035 million and $4.445 million of total gross debt outstanding, respectively. To meet our cash needs, we closed a best-efforts public offering on September 30, 2024 and raised net proceeds of approximately $4.797 million after paying underwriting and other expenses and before the repayment of the First Sament Note.

 

We may not be able to access the capital markets in the future on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures and our ability to meet future debt service obligations or refinance our indebtedness will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial and other factors beyond our control, including those described under “Risk Factors” below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. 

 

Capital Resources

 

On September 30, 2024, we closed on the September Offering of (i) 4,240,650 common units, each consisting of one share of common stock, one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant at a purchase price of $0.36 per unit; and (ii) 11,460,000 pre-funded units, each consisting of one Pre-Funded Warrant, one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant at a purchase price of $0.35 per unit. Gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, were approximately $5.552 million. With the proceeds, the Company used approximately $3.27 million to pay off debt, paid down accounts payable of $603 thousand, acquired inventory of $900 thousand, and paid costs relating to the public offering of $408 thousand.

 

On May 23, 2024, we closed on the May offering of (i) 2,437,000 common units, each consisting of one share of common stock, one Class A Warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one Class B Warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a purchase price of $2.26 per unit; and (ii) 218,000 pre-funded units, each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock, one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant at a purchase price of $2.25 per unit. The Warrants had an exercise price of $2.26 per share, subject to an exercise price reset, which took effect on June 22, 2024 and reduced the exercise price of the Warrants to $1.49 per share. Gross proceeds from the May offering, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $6 million.

 

On March 14, 2024, we entered into a standard merchant cash advance agreement with Cedar Advance LLC (“Cedar”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell $1,491,000 of trade receivables to Cedar in exchange for $1,000,000 of cash proceeds, after deducting $50,000 for underwriting fees and other transaction expenses. On May 7, 2024, we entered into the Cedar Agreement, pursuant to which we sold Cedar an additional $994,000 of our future accounts receivable for a purchase price of $700,000, less aggregate fees and expenses of $87,500, for additional net funds provided of $544,250, bringing the total financing with Cedar to $2,485,000 in accounts receivable sold for $1,544,250 of net funds provided. Pursuant to the Cedar Agreement, we are required to pay Cedar 35.0% of all funds collected weekly from customers for the sale of goods and services. Weekly, Cedar is authorized to withdraw $65,000 of funds from our bank account until such time a reconciliation is provided calculating the 35.0% of collections owed to Cedar, until such time the total balance of $2,485,000 is repaid. The Cedar Agreement is collateralized by our cash and receivable accounts. In the event of a default (as defined in the Cedar Agreement), Cedar, among other remedies, can enforce its security interest in the collateral and demand payment in full of the uncollected amount of receivables purchased plus all fees due under the Cedar Agreement.

 

On February 6, 2024, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (“EDA”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) as sales agent, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of common stock through Maxim in an at-the-market offering for an aggregate offering price of up to $1,146,893. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received net proceeds of approximately $1.1 million from the sale of common stock under the EDA after deducting Maxim’s commission of 3.5% of the gross proceeds and other offering expenses.

 

For more information on our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, see Note 7 to our financial statements.

 

Cash Flows

 

Operating activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash used for operating activities was $6.761 million and $6.778 million, respectively. Cash expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased primarily due to an increase in our net loss, an increase in inventory purchases for the holiday growing season and lower collections.

 

Investing activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash used in investing activities was $177 thousand and $800 thousand, respectively. The decrease was due to lower purchases of property, equipment and leasehold improvements related to the completion of our Michigan facility.

 

Financing activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $8.642 million and $10.046 million, respectively. The $1.4 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due to components of both debt and equity; specifically, an incremental $2.27 million in debt proceeds from the Cedar agreements, offset by $3.1 million in incremental debt repayments as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily related to the payoff of the First Sament Note.  In addition, cash provided by financing activities decreased $497 thousand as a result of our equity activities; specifically, cash provided by financing activities increased $1.2 million as a result of sales under our EDA in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, offset by a reduction of $686 thousand in year over year proceeds from our public offerings and $874 thousand of higher costs related to our 2024 public offerings.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item. 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024 pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were ineffective as of September 30, 2024, due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we have yet to fully remediate.

 

Because we are a small company with few employees in our finance department, we lacked the ability to have adequate segregation of duties in the financial statement preparation process. Since these entity level controls have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. In addition, we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting because we lack maintenance of appropriate documentation to support our internal controls and we have insufficiently reviewed reports identifying user entity controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may be party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that there is any pending or threatened proceeding against us, which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of these risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or the market price of our common stock. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and/or operating results.

 

Because we are not in compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements and are appealing the determination of the Nasdaq Staff to suspend the trading of our securities, we can provide no assurance that our shares will continue to be listed on Nasdaq, which would affect our common stock’s liquidity and reduce our ability to raise capital.

 

On October 21, 2024, we received a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for at least 30 consecutive business days, we no longer meet the Bid Price Rule. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), because we effected reverse stock splits in the last two years with a cumulative ratio greater than 250 shares to 1, we are not eligible for any compliance period to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On October 28, 2024, we submitted a request for a hearing before the Panel to appeal the delisting notice from the Staff.

 

There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant us additional time to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards or that we could ultimately meet all applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Panel may determine to delist our securities from Nasdaq. If our common stock is delisted, our warrants will also be delisted. We and holders of our securities could be materially adversely impacted if our securities are delisted from Nasdaq. In particular:

 

 

we may be unable to raise equity capital on acceptable terms or at all;

 

we may lose the confidence of our customers, which would jeopardize our ability to continue our business as currently conducted;

 

the price of our common stock will likely decrease as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws;

 

holders may be unable to sell or purchase our securities when they wish to do so;

 

we may become subject to stockholder litigation;

 

we may lose the interest of institutional investors in our common stock;

 

we may lose media and analyst coverage;

 

our common stock could be considered a “penny stock,” which would likely limit the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock; and

 

we would likely lose any active trading market for our common stock, as it may only be traded on one of the over-the-counter markets, if at all.

 

Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you.

 

Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

 

·

limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate requirements;

·

require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for operations and other purposes;

·

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and

·

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that may have proportionately less debt and greater financial resources.

 

The promissory note issued in connection with our purchase of our Edible Garden Heartland property (“Edible Garden Heartland”) is secured by a mortgage on Edible Garden Heartland and a security interest in the assets at Edible Garden Heartland. In addition, the balance under the Cedar Agreement is collateralized by our cash and receivable accounts. If we were to default on our obligations under these loans and arrangements, the counterparties would have the right to our assets. We could be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations, and the value realized on such assets or operations will depend on market conditions and the availability of buyers. Accordingly, any such sale may not, among other things, be for a sufficient dollar amount. If we were to otherwise attempt to sell material assets or operations, the foregoing encumbrances may limit our ability to dispose of material assets or operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital or improve our ability to generate cash from operating activities, we may not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity that can be utilized to meet our debt service and other obligations when they become due. If we were to default on our obligations under these loans and arrangements, the secured counterparties would have the right to our assets. In the event that the counterparties enforced their rights to our assets, we may have to discontinue our business, and our stockholders could lose all or a part of their investment in us.

Organization and Recent Developments

 

Edible Garden Corp., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on April 9, 2013. On March 28, 2020, Edible Garden Inc., a Wyoming corporation, was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring substantially all of the operating assets of Edible Garden Corp., which was a separately identified reportable segment of its parent company Blum Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Terra Tech Corporation). The acquisition was completed on March 30, 2020. Prior to March 30, 2020, Edible Garden AG Incorporated had no operations. Hereafter, Edible Garden AG Incorporated and its subsidiaries will collectively be referred to as “Edible Garden,” “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or the “Successor.” Edible Garden Corp., a formerly wholly owned subsidiary of Blum Holdings, Inc. will be referred to as the “Predecessor.” Throughout these financial statements, the Successor and the Predecessor are also referred to as “the Company” and used interchangeably, unless otherwise noted. On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired the Predecessor for the nominal price of $1.00. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for additional information.

 

We authorized 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), at formation. On October 14, 2020, we simultaneously declared a 20-for-1 forward stock split of our common stock and increased the number of authorized common shares to 20,000,000. On June 30, 2021, we simultaneously (1) converted Edible Garden from a Wyoming into a Delaware corporation, (2) declared a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of our common stock, and (3) increased the total number of authorized common shares to 50,000,000. On September 8, 2021, we simultaneously declared a 20-for-1 forward stock split of our common stock and increased the number of authorized common shares to 200,000,000. On January 18, 2022, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, which became effective on May 3, 2022. On January 26, 2023, we effected a reverse stock split of 1-for-30 and decreased the total number of authorized common shares to 6,666,667. On June 8, 2023, we increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 6,666,667 shares to 10,000,000 shares.

 

On November 10, 2023, we increased the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 20,000,000 to 110,000,000 and increased the total authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. On April 5, 2024, we declared a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. The conversion or exercise prices of our issued and outstanding stock options and warrants were adjusted in connection with the reverse stock split.

 

All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this report have been adjusted to reflect the stock splits described above.

 

Nature of Business

 

Edible Garden is a retail seller of locally grown hydroponic produce, nutraceuticals and hot sauce, which is distributed throughout the Northeast and Midwest. Currently, Edible Garden’s products are sold at over 5,000 supermarkets. Our target customers are those individuals seeking fresh produce locally grown using environmentally sustainable methods.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The December 31, 2023 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included.

 

Going Concern 

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. In an effort to achieve liquidity that would be sufficient to meet all of our commitments, the Company may seek funding through additional debt or equity financing arrangements, implement incremental expense reduction measures or a combination thereof to continue financing its operations. 

 

However, we believe that even after taking these actions, we will not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy all of our future financial obligations. The risks and uncertainties surrounding our ability to continue our business with limited capital resources raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 11, “Going Concern” for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements to Be Adopted in Future Periods

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 primarily require entities to disclose certain significant segment expenses and other segment items on both an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial statement disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and expect to adopt this ASU for the year ending December 31, 2025.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Examples of significant estimates and assumptions include provisions for doubtful accounts, accrued liabilities, discount rates used in the measurement and recognition of lease liabilities and valuation of our warrants. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require us to make judgments, involving an analysis of historical and future trends, that can require extended periods of time to resolve, and are subject to change from period to period. In all cases, actual results could differ materially from our estimates.

Trade and Other Receivables

 

The Company extends non-interest-bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business which is not collateralized. Accounts receivable are shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheets net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company analyzes the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable. The reserve for credit losses was $92,351 and $136,858 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, five customers accounted for approximately 85.0% of our total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, five customers accounted for approximately 83.0% of our total revenue. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 82.5% of our gross outstanding trade receivables were attributed to four customers, 27.3% of which was due from one customer. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 80.4% of our gross outstanding trade receivables were attributed to four customers, 41.1% of which was due from one customer. This concentration of customers leaves us exposed to the risks associated with the loss of one or more of these significant customers, which would materially and adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

 

The Company maintains a cash balance in a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations. The amount in excess of insured limitations was approximately $2.0 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost of our inventory, as determined using the first-in, first-out method, or its net realizable value. We periodically review our physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserve accordingly. Our reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based on expected future use. Our reserve estimates have historically been consistent with our actual experience as evidenced by actual sale or disposal of the goods. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was not material as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses consist of various payments that the Company has made in advance for goods or services to be received in the future. These prepaid expenses include advertising, insurance, and service or other contracts requiring up-front payments.

 

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Net

 

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our fixed assets, which are comprised of leasehold improvements, equipment and vehicles, have useful lives of five years.

 

Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying balances of its property, equipment and leasehold improvements may not be recoverable in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. See Note 4, “Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Net” for further information.

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets continue to be subject to amortization, and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Intangible assets are stated at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a straight-line method of amortization, unless a method that better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up can be reliably determined.

 

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or if a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall, or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, we group our amortizable intangible assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the intangible asset (asset group) exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible asset (asset group), the Company will write the carrying value down to the fair value in the period the impairment is identified.

 

Revenue Recognition and Performance Obligations

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. Payments from our customers are due upon delivery or within a short period after delivery.

Contract Balances

 

Due to the nature of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers, the Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC Topic 606.

 

Contract Estimates and Judgments

 

On January 1, 2024, the Company and Meijer Distribution, Inc. (the “Buyer”) entered into two agreements pursuant to which the Company will supply and sell products to the Buyer (the “Agreements”). Under the Agreements, the Company sells (i) fresh cut herbs, including basil, bay leaves, chives, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme; (ii) hydroponic basil; and (iii) potted herbs, including basil, chives, cilantro, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, wheatgrass; in quantities and on a delivery schedule requested by the Buyer at prices per unit set in advance by the Company and the Buyer. Under the Agreements, the Company and the Buyer will renegotiate the prices for each unit annually, provided that the price per unit will not increase or decrease at a rate greater than the change in the relevant Consumer Price Index in that year. Once set, the pricing terms will remain fixed for the remainder of the year. Any price increases will take effect after sixty days and any price decrease will be effective immediately. If the Company and the Buyer are unable to mutually agree on price increases, the Company will have the power to terminate the Agreements immediately.

 

In addition, under the agreement governing the purchase of potted herbs, the Company agreed to fund the installation of fixtures in each of the Buyer’s stores to display the potted herbs in an aggregate amount of $806,947. These payments were made as a weekly deduction from the Company’s receivables from the Buyer.

 

The Agreements became effective as of January 1, 2024 and expire on December 31, 2026. The Agreements may be renewed for an additional two-year term upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the Buyer. The Agreements may be terminated by the Buyer without cause upon sixty days’ prior notice.

 

Management has determined the payments for the fixtures should be treated as a reduction in revenue under the guidance of ASC 606. As we do not expect the agreement to be terminated before the end of the three-year term, the aggregate cost of the fixtures of approximately $806,947 will be treated as a reduction in the transaction price of products sold to the Buyer during the three-year term of the contract.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold includes materials, labor and overhead costs incurred in cultivating, producing, and shipping our products.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Other Expenses – Advertising Cost.” Advertising expenses totaled $149,886 and $39,265 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted loss per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Therefore, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding were the same for all periods. However, if diluted earnings per share had been reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the calculations would have excluded warrants to purchase 37,808,427 and 179,344 shares of common stock, respectively, because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, such net operating losses were offset entirely by a valuation allowance.

 

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50.0% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s principal decision makers are the Chief Executive Officer and its Interim Chief Financial Officer. Management believes that its business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss as a whole; b) the principal decision makers do not review information based on any operating segment; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services, and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas.

On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “First Sament Note”) for $3,000,000 with Sament Capital Investments, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Predecessor, (“Sament”) in connection with the acquisition of the Predecessor’s assets. The First Sament Note accrued interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum on a 360-day year basis and had a maturity date of March 30, 2025. The First Sament Note was secured by the Company’s operating assets purchased from the Predecessor.  On November 15, 2023, Sament assigned the note to various third parties who are not affiliated with the Company. On September 30, 2024, the Company prepaid the principal and accrued interest due under the First Sament Note with a premium of $155,322. As a result of the agreement, the Company repaid $3,106,458 of outstanding principal and $9,061 of accrued interest. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss from extinguishment of debt equal to $163,584 for the premium paid plus the unamortized debt discount on the First Sament Note. As of December 31, 2023, the total outstanding balance of $3,106,458 is included in “Long-term debt, net of discounts” on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the unamortized discount related to the promissory note was $19,429. Total accrued interest on the First Sament Note as of December 31, 2023 was $9,363.

 

On June 2, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note for $653,870 with Sament (the “Second Sament Note”), which accrued interest at a rate of 3.50% per annum and had a maturity date of June 3, 2023. The Second Sament Note was secured by the Company’s operating assets purchased from the Predecessor. During the year ended December 31, 2021, accrued interest of $23,203 was added to the principal of the Second Sament Note. On February 17, 2023, the Company prepaid the principal and accrued interest due under the Second Sament Note in exchange for Sament agreeing to reduce the principal amount of the Second Sament Note by approximately 10%. As a result of the agreement, the Company repaid $606,653 of outstanding principal, and $27,125 of accrued interest, and recognized a gain from extinguishment of the debt of $70,420 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Future Receivables Financing Agreement with Cedar Advance, LLC

 

On March 14, 2024, the Company entered into a standard merchant cash advance agreement (the “Cedar Agreement”) with Cedar Advance LLC (“Cedar”), dated as of March 12, 2024, pursuant to which the Company sold to Cedar $1,491,000 of its future accounts receivable for a purchase price of $1,050,000, less fees and expenses of $50,000, for net funds provided of $1,000,000.

 

Pursuant to the Cedar Agreement, Cedar was expected to withdraw $53,250 a week directly from the Company’s bank account until the $1,491,000 due to Cedar under the Cedar Agreement is paid in full. To secure the Company’s obligations under the Cedar Agreement, the Company granted Cedar a security interest in all accounts, including all deposit accounts, accounts receivable, and other receivables, and proceeds as those terms are defined by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Collateral”). In addition, the Company agreed not to incur, directly or indirectly, any lien on or with respect to the Collateral. In the event of a default (as defined in the Cedar Agreement), Cedar, among other remedies, can enforce its security interest in the Collateral and demand payment in full of the uncollected receivables purchased plus all fees due under the Cedar Agreement.

 

On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated standard merchant cash advance agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Cedar. Under the Restated Agreement, the Company sold to Cedar a total of $2,485,000 of its future accounts receivable collections for a purchase price of $1,750,000. The Company received cash of $544,250 after pay-off of the remaining amount due under the Cedar Agreement of $1,118,250 and fees and expenses of $87,500. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, the Company is required to pay Cedar 35.0% of all funds collected weekly from customers and Cedar is expected to withdraw $65,395 per week from the Company’s bank account until the $2,485,000 due to Cedar (representing $1,750,000 of principal and $735,000 of interest) under the Restated Agreement is paid in full. Except as amended by the Restated Agreement, the remaining terms of the Cedar Agreement remain in full force and effect.

 

Management determined the Restated Agreement should be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $334,806 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Accrued interest and unamortized financing fees on the loan totaled $19,910 and $39,142 as of September 30, 2024, respectively.

NJD Investments, LLC Promissory Note

 

On August 30, 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “NJDI Note”) for $1,136,000 with NJDI in connection with its purchase of the assets of 2900 Madison Ave. SE, Grand Rapids, Michigan (“the Property”). The NJDI Note accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and will mature on September 1, 2026. The Company may prepay the outstanding amount due at any time without penalty. The Company makes monthly payments of principal and interest of $28,089. The NJDI Note is secured by a mortgage on the Property (the “Mortgage”) and a security interest in the assets owned by the Subsidiary in favor of NJDI (the “Security Agreement”).

 

In addition, the Company’s obligation to repay the amounts due under the NJDI Note, or up to $1,136,000 plus any accrued interest, is guaranteed by the Company under a guaranty in favor of NJDI (the “Guaranty”) entered into on August 30, 2022. Under the Guaranty, in the event that the Company defaulted on the NJDI Note, the Company would be responsible for any sum remaining due after NJDI foreclosed on the Mortgage and exercised its rights under the Security Agreement.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, accrued interest of $19,210 was added to the principal of the NJDI Note. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $312,149 and $300,683 of the outstanding balance is included in “Short-term debt, net of discounts” and $328,119 and $563,685 is included in “Long-term debt, net of discounts” within the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

 

Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Loans

 

On June 22, 2020, the Company entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration Loan Authorization and Agreement pursuant to which the Company received loan proceeds of $150,000 (the “SBA Loan”). The SBA Loan was made under, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, which was a program expanded for COVID-19 relief under the CARES Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The term of the SBA Loan is thirty (30) years with a maturity date of June 22, 2050 and the annual interest rate of the SBA Loan is a fixed rate of 3.75%. Under the terms of the CARES Act, the use of loan proceeds for the SBA Loan is limited to alleviating economic injury caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The outstanding balance on the SBA Loan of $150,000 is included in “Long-term debt, net of discounts” within the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into two financing agreements totaling $158,214 for the purchase of vehicles. The loans, which accrue interest at a rate of 7.64%, mature in 2027. The loans are secured by the vehicles purchased.

In connection with the September Offering, on September 27, 2024, the Company also entered into a placement agency agreement pursuant to which Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”) served as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the September Offering.

The Warrants had an exercise price reset feature whereby if, on June 22, 2024, the exercise price of the May Warrants was greater than the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock for the prior five days (the “reset price”), the exercise price of the May Warrants would be reduced to the reset price. Pursuant to the reset feature, the exercise price of the May Warrants became $1.49 on June 22, 2024. The exercise price of the May Class A and May Class B Warrants is also subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital transactions as described in such May Warrants.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations described in the May Pre-Funded Warrants, the May Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable and may be exercised at a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share of common stock any time until all of the May Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

In connection with the May Offering, on May 22, 2024, the Company also entered into a placement agency agreement pursuant to which Maxim Group LLC (the “May Placement Agent”) served as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the May Offering.

The February Follow-On Warrants, which became exercisable on February 7, 2023, grant the holder the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to $126.00 per share. The February Follow-On Warrants expire on February 7, 2028. In addition to customary cashless exercise, the holders had the right to effect an “alternative cashless exercise” on or after April 10, 2023. In an “alternative cashless exercise,” the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable is equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the February Follow-On Warrant if it was exercised for cash and (ii) 0.5. Also on February 7, 2023, the Company issued warrants to the Representative to purchase up to 4,048 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $139.60 per share. These warrants became exercisable on August 2, 2023 and will expire on February 2, 2028.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 861,040 shares of common stock to the holders who exercised 1,772,080 of the February Follow-On Warrants via the alternative cashless exercise option.

Also on September 8, 2023, the Company issued warrants to the Representative to purchase up to 135,036 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.21 per share (the “Representative’s Warrants”). These warrants are initially exercisable on the later to occur of (i) the effective date of an increase in our authorized shares of common stock in an amount sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Representative’s Warrants or (ii) March 6, 2024 and will expire on September 7, 2028.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On January 18, 2022 in connection with the IPO, the board of directors (the “Board”) approved the Edible Garden AG Incorporated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan provides for equity incentive compensation for employees, non-employee directors, and any other individuals who perform services for the Company. The number of shares initially available for grant under the 2022 Plan was 50,000. A variety of discretionary awards are authorized under the 2022 Plan, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The vesting of such awards may be conditioned upon either a specified period of time or the attainment of specific performance goals as determined by the administrator of the 2022 Plan. The option price and terms are also subject to determination by the administrator with respect to each grant.

 

On June 8, 2023 the stockholders of the Company approved the First Amendment to the 2022 Plan, which increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 15,000 shares and extended the term of the 2022 Plan until June 8, 2033.

 

On August 21, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved the Second Amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) to the 2022 Plan to: (i) increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 650,000 shares, (ii) update the recoupment provisions of the 2022 Plan to be consistent with the Company’s Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and (iii) extend the term of the 2022 Plan until August 21, 2034.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

 

Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Such assets are classified as right-of-use assets (“lease assets”) with a corresponding lease liability.

 

Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recorded at commencement at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term. As the implicit discount rate for the present value calculation is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement of the lease. The expected lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

 

The Company has finance leases for various vehicles with terms of approximately 3 years. The Company’s finance lease agreements do not contain any material non-lease components, residual value guarantees, or material restrictive covenants.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company was party to an ongoing arrangement with our predecessor company, Edible Garden Corp., whereby the Company made lease payments of approximately $22,189 per month to the lessor of the land on which our flagship facility is built and for which our predecessor company was the lessee. Our month-to-month arrangement meets the definition of a short-term lease and is therefore excluded from the recognition requirements of ASC 842, “Leases”. On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Edible Garden Corp. and assumed the lease of the land its flagship facility is built on. Refer to Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for additional details.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total operating lease cost was $229,036, all of which was associated with short-term leases. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, total operating lease cost was $218,472, of which $138,192 was associated with short-term leases. As of December 31, 2023, a short-term operating lease liability of $34,415 is included within “Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Effective January 25, 2024, Michael James retired from his positions as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and Director of the Company. In connection with Mr. James’s retirement, on January 24, 2024, the Company and Mr. James entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. James a severance payment of $300,000 in the form of salary continuation until January 2025. In addition, Mr. James is eligible to earn milestone payments under the Separation Agreement in an aggregate amount up to $300,000 if he completes certain transitional deliverables for the Company. Of this amount, the Company has paid $191,667 in milestone payments to Mr. James as of September 30, 2024. The Company granted Mr. James a restricted stock award with a fair value equal to $25,000 as of April 2, 2024.

 

As described in detail in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” on February 8, 2024, the Company entered into two agreements with the Buyer to supply and sell products over a three-year period. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid approximately $806,947 to the Buyer for product displays and fixtures during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

From time to time, we may be party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that there is any pending or threatened proceeding against us, which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

NOTE 11 – GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company began operating in 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $7.97 million. We expect to experience further significant net losses in the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash available for operations of $2.21 million. We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. Since our inception, we have raised capital through our issuance of debt and equity securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.

 

We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements until we are able to raise revenue and reduce costs to a point of positive cash flow. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including obtaining loans and selling securities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations, or if we are able to raise capital, that it will be available to us on acceptable terms, on an acceptable schedule, or at all.

 

The issuance of additional securities may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining loans, assuming these loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available for use when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

 

The risks and uncertainties surrounding our ability to raise capital and to continue our business with limited capital resources raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued for events requiring recording or disclosure in the September 30, 2024 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Issuances of Common Stock

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company issued 1,216,650 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the obligation to issue the remaining shares of common stock from the September Offering. Additionally, the Company issued 3,301,000 shares of common stock for Pre-Funded Warrant exercises.

  

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company issued 16 shares of common stock to employees upon the vesting of restricted stock units previously granted to the employees, pursuant to the 2022 Plan.

   

Acquisition of Edible Garden Corp.

 

On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired Edible Garden Corp. (“EGC”) from Unrivaled Brands, Inc., the Company’s former parent company, for the nominal price of $1.00. At the Company’s inception, it had acquired substantially all of the assets of EGC from Unrivaled Brands, Inc., except for the lease agreement between EGC and Whitetown Realty, LLC (the “Landlord”), made as of December 30, 2014 (the “Lease Agreement”), as amended by a lease extension agreement between EGC and the Landlord, dated September 10, 2019 (the “Lease Extension,” together with the Lease Agreement, the “Lease”), for a 5-acre greenhouse location in Belvidere, New Jersey. As a result, prior to October 1, 2024, the Company had operated the New Jersey property through an informal arrangement with EGC in which the Company effectively rented the property on a month-to-month basis with no set term. On October 1, 2024, upon the closing of its acquisition of EGC, the Company assumed the Lease and became subject to its terms. The Lease has a term that commenced on January 1, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2029. Under the terms of the Lease, the Company will pay the Landlord a monthly lease payment of approximately $22,189. 

 

The Lease includes customary covenants, terms, and conditions, along with two options that may be exercised at the discretion of the Company to extend the term of the Lease for additional periods of five years each by providing written notice at least nine months prior to expiration of the current term, provided that no default of the Lease has occurred. Under the Lease, if the Landlord desires to sell the New Jersey property and receives a bona fide written offer, the Company has the right to purchase the New Jersey property at the same price and terms contained in the bona fide written offer. In the event the Company terminates the Lease early, as further described in the Lease, the security deposit of $28,000 will be forfeited to the Landlord as liquidated damages. If the Company (i) fails to pay any lease payment, and such failure continues for five days following the due date, or (ii) breaches any other agreement, covenant or obligation included in the Lease and fails to cure the breach within fifteen days after notice from the Landlord, the Landlord may terminate the Lease upon five business days’ notice to the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
Recently Issued Accounting Standards to Be Adopted in Future Periods

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 primarily require entities to disclose certain significant segment expenses and other segment items on both an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial statement disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and expect to adopt this ASU for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Use of Estimate

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Examples of significant estimates and assumptions include provisions for doubtful accounts, accrued liabilities, discount rates used in the measurement and recognition of lease liabilities and valuation of our warrants. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require us to make judgments, involving an analysis of historical and future trends, that can require extended periods of time to resolve, and are subject to change from period to period. In all cases, actual results could differ materially from our estimates.

Trade and Other Receivables

The Company extends non-interest-bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business which is not collateralized. Accounts receivable are shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheets net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company analyzes the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable. The reserve for credit losses was $92,351 and $136,858 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, five customers accounted for approximately 85.0% of our total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, five customers accounted for approximately 83.0% of our total revenue. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 82.5% of our gross outstanding trade receivables were attributed to four customers, 27.3% of which was due from one customer. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 80.4% of our gross outstanding trade receivables were attributed to four customers, 41.1% of which was due from one customer. This concentration of customers leaves us exposed to the risks associated with the loss of one or more of these significant customers, which would materially and adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

 

The Company maintains a cash balance in a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations. The amount in excess of insured limitations was approximately $2.0 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Inventory

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost of our inventory, as determined using the first-in, first-out method, or its net realizable value. We periodically review our physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserve accordingly. Our reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based on expected future use. Our reserve estimates have historically been consistent with our actual experience as evidenced by actual sale or disposal of the goods. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was not material as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consist of various payments that the Company has made in advance for goods or services to be received in the future. These prepaid expenses include advertising, insurance, and service or other contracts requiring up-front payments.

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Net

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our fixed assets, which are comprised of leasehold improvements, equipment and vehicles, have useful lives of five years.

 

Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying balances of its property, equipment and leasehold improvements may not be recoverable in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. See Note 4, “Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Net” for further information.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets continue to be subject to amortization, and any impairment is determined in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Intangible assets are stated at historical cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a straight-line method of amortization, unless a method that better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up can be reliably determined.

 

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or if a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall, or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If an impairment indicator exists, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, we group our amortizable intangible assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the intangible asset (asset group) exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible asset (asset group), the Company will write the carrying value down to the fair value in the period the impairment is identified.

Revenue Recognition and Performance obligations

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. Payments from our customers are due upon delivery or within a short period after delivery.

Contract Balances

 

Due to the nature of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers, the Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC Topic 606.

 

Contract Estimates and Judgments

 

On January 1, 2024, the Company and Meijer Distribution, Inc. (the “Buyer”) entered into two agreements pursuant to which the Company will supply and sell products to the Buyer (the “Agreements”). Under the Agreements, the Company sells (i) fresh cut herbs, including basil, bay leaves, chives, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme; (ii) hydroponic basil; and (iii) potted herbs, including basil, chives, cilantro, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, wheatgrass; in quantities and on a delivery schedule requested by the Buyer at prices per unit set in advance by the Company and the Buyer. Under the Agreements, the Company and the Buyer will renegotiate the prices for each unit annually, provided that the price per unit will not increase or decrease at a rate greater than the change in the relevant Consumer Price Index in that year. Once set, the pricing terms will remain fixed for the remainder of the year. Any price increases will take effect after sixty days and any price decrease will be effective immediately. If the Company and the Buyer are unable to mutually agree on price increases, the Company will have the power to terminate the Agreements immediately.

 

In addition, under the agreement governing the purchase of potted herbs, the Company agreed to fund the installation of fixtures in each of the Buyer’s stores to display the potted herbs in an aggregate amount of $806,947. These payments were made as a weekly deduction from the Company’s receivables from the Buyer.

 

The Agreements became effective as of January 1, 2024 and expire on December 31, 2026. The Agreements may be renewed for an additional two-year term upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the Buyer. The Agreements may be terminated by the Buyer without cause upon sixty days’ prior notice.

 

Management has determined the payments for the fixtures should be treated as a reduction in revenue under the guidance of ASC 606. As we do not expect the agreement to be terminated before the end of the three-year term, the aggregate cost of the fixtures of approximately $806,947 will be treated as a reduction in the transaction price of products sold to the Buyer during the three-year term of the contract.

Cost of Goods sold

Cost of goods sold includes materials, labor and overhead costs incurred in cultivating, producing, and shipping our products.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Other Expenses – Advertising Cost.” Advertising expenses totaled $149,886 and $39,265 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Loss Per Common Share

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted loss per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. The results of operations were a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Therefore, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding were the same for all periods. However, if diluted earnings per share had been reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the calculations would have excluded warrants to purchase 37,808,427 and 179,344 shares of common stock, respectively, because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, such net operating losses were offset entirely by a valuation allowance.

 

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50.0% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Reporting

The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s principal decision makers are the Chief Executive Officer and its Interim Chief Financial Officer. Management believes that its business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss as a whole; b) the principal decision makers do not review information based on any operating segment; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services, and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas.

Description of best-efforts public offering the Company issued an aggregate of 80,950 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 93,093 shares of common stock (“February Follow-On Warrants”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Company and Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”) and raised approximately $10.2 million in gross proceeds. The February Follow-On Warrants, which became exercisable on February 7, 2023, grant the holder the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to $126.00 per share. The February Follow-On Warrants expire on February 7, 2028. In addition to customary cashless exercise, the holders had the right to effect an “alternative cashless exercise” on or after April 10, 2023. In an “alternative cashless exercise,” the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable is equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the February Follow-On Warrant if it was exercised for cash and (ii) 0.5. Also on February 7, 2023, the Company issued warrants to the Representative to purchase up to 4,048 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $139.60 per share. These warrants became exercisable on August 2, 2023 and will expire on February 2, 2028         the Company completed a best-efforts public offering (the “May Offering”) of (i) 2,437,000 common units, each consisting of one share of common stock, one Class A warrant (“May Class A Warrant”) to purchase one share of common stock and one Class B warrant (“May Class B Warrant,” together with the May Class A Warrants, the “May Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock at a purchase price of $2.26 per unit; and (ii) 218,000 pre-funded units, each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (“May Pre-Funded Warrant”), one May Class A Warrant and one May Class B Warrant at a purchase price of $2.25 per unit
