This Prospectus (this “Prospectus”) relates to the offer and sale from time to time of up to 2,237,671,552 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) of Sugarmade, Inc., a Delaware corporation (referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or other similar pronouns), by Dutchess Capital Growth Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Dutchess” or the “Investor” or “Selling Securityholder”), under an equity line in the amount of up to $10,000,000 established by the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between us and Dutchess, as more fully described in this Prospectus. The Purchase Agreement provides that upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, Dutchess is committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of shares of our Common Stock over a 36-month term (the “Term”), which commences immediately following the initial date of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part (the “Registration Statement”). The resale of such shares by the Selling Securityholder pursuant to this Prospectus is referred to as the “Offering.”

 

We are not selling any securities under this Prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholder. We will, however, receive proceeds from our sale of our shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement to the Selling Securityholder.

 

The Purchase Agreement with Dutchess provides that Dutchess is committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 (“Total Commitment”) of our Common Stock over the course of the Term. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the commitment period will begin on the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, and ending on the earlier of (i) the end of the Term; (ii) the date that the Company sells and Dutchess purchases the Total Commitment amount; (iii) the date that the Registration Statement is no longer effective; or (iv) the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy-related events, as specified in the agreement (the “Total Commitment Period”).

 

During the Total Commitment Period, the Company, in its sole discretion, may provide Dutchess with one or more drawdown notices (each, a “Drawdown Notice”), to purchase a specified number of shares of our Common Stock (“Drawdown Notice Shares”), subject to the limitations discussed below. The closing date (“Closing Date”) for each Drawdown Notice is eight business days after the first business day that Dutchess holds the Drawdown Notice Shares in its brokerage account and is eligible to trade the shares. The per share purchase price for each Drawdown Notice Share is equal to ninety-three percent (93%) (representing a 7% discount) of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock during the five business days prior to the Closing Date.

 

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to any single Drawdown Notice cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $250,000; (ii) 200% of the average daily traded value of the Drawdown Notice Shares during the five trading days immediately preceding the Drawdown Notice date; or (iii) that number of shares that would cause Dutchess to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Drawdown Notice Shares.

 

We may draw on the equity line under the Purchase Agreement from time to time, by presenting a Drawdown Notice to Dutchess, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. The 2,237,671,552 shares of Common Stock included in this Prospectus represent a portion of the Common Stock issuable to the Selling Securityholder under the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Selling Securityholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholder may sell the shares of Common Stock described in this Prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 82 for more information about how the Selling Securityholder may sell the shares of Common Stock being registered pursuant to this Prospectus.

 

We will pay the expenses incurred in registering the shares of Common Stock, including legal and accounting fees. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Market Group, Inc.’s OTC Pink tier under the symbol “SGMD”. On March    , 2022, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock was $0.0004.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 750 Royal Oaks Dr., Suite 108, Monrovia, CA 91016.

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 of this Prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this Prospectus is _____________.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY

 

One of our two principal business segments involves the research and development of cannabis, hemp, and associated products, and on the legal sales of cannabis permitted under California law. Cannabis related activities and investments generated approximately 56% of the Company’s revenues in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Cannabis is a Schedule 1 illegal drug under the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 811 (hereafter referred to as the “CSA”).

 

As of the date of this filing, thirty-seven states, the District of Columbia and four U.S. Territories currently have laws broadly legalizing cannabis in some form for either medicinal or recreational use governed by state specific laws and regulations. Although legalized in some states, cannabis and hemp containing more than 0.3 percent THC are “Schedule 1” drugs under the CSA and are illegal under federal law. Active enforcement of the current CSA regarding cannabis and hemp containing more than 0.3 percent THC may directly and adversely affect our revenues and profits. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated federal policy remains uncertain; See sections entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 and “Description of the Business—Government Regulation” beginning on page 48 of this Prospectus.

 

On August 29, 2013, The Department of Justice set out its prosecutorial priorities in light of various states legalizing cannabis for medicinal and/or recreational use. The “Cole Memorandum” provided that when states have implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, distribution, sale, and possession of cannabis, conduct in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to threaten the federal priorities. Indeed, a robust system may affirmatively address those priorities by, for example, implementing effective measures to prevent diversion of cannabis outside of the regulated system and to other states, prohibiting access to cannabis by minors, and replacing an illicit cannabis trade that funds criminal enterprises with a tightly regulated market in which revenues are tracked and accounted for. In those circumstances, consistent with the traditional allocation of federal-state efforts in this area, the Cole Memorandum provided that enforcement of state law by state and local law enforcement and regulatory bodies should remain the primary means of addressing cannabis-related activity. If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust to protect against the harms set forth above, the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory structure itself in addition to continuing to bring individual enforcement actions, including criminal prosecutions, focused on those harms.

 

On January 4, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum for all United States Attorneys concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA. Mr. Sessions rescinded all previous prosecutorial guidance issued by the Department of Justice regarding cannabis, including the August 29, 2013 “Cole Memorandum”.

 

In rescinding the Cole Memorandum, Mr. Sessions stated that U.S. Attorneys must decide whether or not to pursue prosecution of cannabis activity based upon factors including: the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community. Mr. Sessions reiterated that the cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana continues to be a crime under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act.

 

On March 23, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law a $1.3 trillion-dollar spending bill that included an amendment known as “Rohrabacher-Blumenauer,” which prohibits the Justice Department from using federal funds to prevent certain states “from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical cannabis.”

 

On December 20, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, otherwise known as the “Farm Bill”. Prior to its passage, hemp, a member of the cannabis family, was classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, and so illegal under the federal CSA.

 

With the passage of the Farm Bill, hemp cultivation containing less than 0.3 percent THC is now broadly permitted. The Farm Bill explicitly allows the transfer of hemp-derived products across state lines for commercial or other purposes. It also puts no restrictions on the sale, transport, or possession of hemp-derived products, so long as those items are produced in a manner consistent with the law.

Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, hemp cannot contain more than 0.3 percent THC. THC refers to the chemical compound found in cannabis that produces the psychoactive “high” associated with cannabis. Any cannabis plant that contains more than 0.3 percent THC would be considered non-hemp cannabis—or marijuana—under the CSA and would not be legally protected under this new legislation and would be treated as an illegal Schedule 1 drug.

 

Additionally, there will be significant, shared state-federal regulatory power over hemp cultivation and production. Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture (hereafter referred to as the “USDA”). A state’s plan to license and regulate hemp can only commence once the Secretary of USDA approves that state’s plan. In states opting not to devise a hemp regulatory program, USDA will construct a regulatory program under which hemp cultivators in those states must apply for licenses and comply with a federally run program. This system of shared regulatory programming is similar to options states had in other policy areas such as health insurance marketplaces under Affordable Care Act, or workplace safety plans under Occupational Health and Safety Act—both of which had federally-run systems for states opting not to set up their own systems.

 

The Farm Bill outlines actions that are considered violations of federal hemp law (including such activities as cultivating without a license or producing cannabis with more than 0.3 percent THC). The Farm Bill details possible punishments for such violations, pathways for violators to become compliant, and even which activities qualify as felonies under the law, such as repeated offenses.

 

One of the goals of the previous 2014 Farm Bill was to generate and protect research into hemp. The 2018 Farm Bill continues this effort. Section 7605 re-extends the protections for hemp research and the conditions under which such research can and should be conducted. Further, section 7501 of the Farm Bill extends hemp research by including hemp under the Critical Agricultural Materials Act. This provision recognizes the importance, diversity, and opportunity of the plant and the products that can be derived from it, but also recognizes that there is a still a lot to learn about hemp and its products from commercial and market perspectives.

 

The Farm Bill established that hemp containing less the 0.3% THC was no longer a Schedule 1 drug under the CSA. Previously, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) did not approve hemp or CBD derived from hemp as a safe and effective drug for any indication. The FDA considered hemp and hemp-derived CBD as illegal Schedule 1 drugs. Further, the FDA has concluded that products containing hemp or CBD derived from hemp are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under sections 201(ff)(3)(B)(i) and (ii) of the U.S. Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, respectively. However, as a result of the passage of the Farm Bill, at some indeterminate future time, which is not guaranteed or certain, the FDA may choose to change its position concerning products containing hemp, or CBD derived from hemp, and may choose to enact regulations that are applicable to such products, including, but not limited to: the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of hemp; regulations covering the physical facilities where hemp is grown and processed; and possible testing to determine efficacy and safety of hemp derived CBD. In this hypothetical event, any hemp products containing CBD we may develop for sale may be subject to regulation. In the hypothetical event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, we do not know what the impact would be on the hemp industry in general, and what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we are unable to comply with the conditions and possible costs of possible regulations and/or registration as may be prescribed by the FDA, we may be unable to continue to operate our business.

 

There can be no assurance that this heightened scrutiny will not in turn lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on our ability to operate in the U.S. or any other jurisdiction.

 

IMPLICATIONS OF BEING A SMALLER REPORTING COMPANY

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” and accordingly may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies, including the inclusion of only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

Cannabis-Related Products and Services

 

In November 1996, voters approved Proposition 215, which decriminalized medicinal cannabis in California. Since the proposition was passed, most, if not all the regulation has been left to local governments.

 

In 2015, California enacted three bills—Assembly Bill 243 (Wood, Chapter 688 of the Statutes of 2015); Assembly Bill 266 (Bonta, Chapter 689 of the Statutes of 2015); and Senate Bill 643 (McGuire, Chapter 719 of the Statutes of 2015)—that collectively established a comprehensive state regulatory framework for the licensing and enforcement of cultivation, manufacturing, retail sale, transportation, storage, delivery, and testing of medicinal cannabis in California. This regulatory scheme is known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA).

 

In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA). Under Proposition 64, adults 21 years of age or older may legally grow, possess, and use cannabis for nonmedicinal purposes, with certain restrictions. In addition, beginning on January 1, 2018, AUMA made it legal to sell and distribute cannabis through a regulated business. Although California has chosen to legalize the cultivation, distribution, and use of cannabis, it remains an illegal Schedule I controlled substance under federal law. The intent of Proposition 64 and MCRSA was to ensure a comprehensive regulatory system that takes the production and sales of cannabis away from an illegal market and curtails the illegal diversion of cannabis from California into other states or countries.

 

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis, California had a 2021 gross domestic product of $3.35 trillion dollars, representing 14.6% of the total U.S. economy. If California were an independent country, its GDP would be the fifth-largest in the World, only behind the United States, China, Japan, and Germany. Due to the sheer size of its economy and due to it being among the earliest states to allow for both medical and recreational sales of cannabis, California, by all measures and specifically referenced in a recent report by cannabis research firm BDSA, produces more regulated and taxed cannabis revenue than any other U.S. state. According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (the “CDTFA”), the state generated $5.2 billion in taxable sales during 2021, representing a 17.1% increase over the previous year. Taxes collected from the regulated sale of cannabis have become an important source of income for the State, with $1.3 billion collected during 2021 and $1.1 billion collected during 2020.

 

Our Cannabis Market Strategy and Businesses

 

We are involved in, or we are planning to enter, several sectors of the licensed and regulated California cannabis marketplace. These include cannabis delivery, cultivation, and general distribution. In addition, Sugarmade is actively seeking to make investments in areas related to these cannabis-specific industry verticals.

 

Our business strategy within the cannabis sector is to be highly selective in approaching business opportunities to engage in areas where we believe competition is less intense than the industry subsectors targeted by larger companies and established brands. Toward this goal, we have invested meaningfully in cannabis delivery service-related activities. The first of these was via our investments in Indigo Dye Group, which operates the Bud Cars cannabis delivery service in Sacramento, California. Additionally, we acquired a majority position in NUG Avenue, Inc., which is engaged in Los Angeles area cannabis delivery. We outline these business activities below.

 

Relative to cultivation, via our acquisition of Lemon Glow Company, outlined below, we plan to be highly selective on the types of cannabis cultivated at the site once permits are issued and permission granted to begin our cultivation efforts. Competition relative to outdoor cannabis cultivation, a still-active black market, and a complex regulatory environment has resulted in many cannabis cultivators struggling to produce profits. Due to these factors, we plan to cultivate unique or less common cannabis strains at the property, as we believe such strains will be more marketable due to lesser competition. Additionally, we plan to explore the cultivation of exotic strains of cannabis that produce higher percentages of minor cannabinoids, such as Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THC-V).

Our plans include growing cannabis varieties to be utilized for freezing immediately upon harvest. We believe the “Fresh Frozen” approach could yield our Company superior margins and potentially long-term supply agreements with cannabis processors and manufacturers. At this time, our plans to cultivate for the Fresh Frozen market and to cultivate exotic strains are in the early stages, and no such activities are currently taking place.

 

Our current cannabis investments and operations for cannabis delivery in the Sacramento and Los Angeles areas are as follows:

 

Los Angeles Area — NUG Avenue, Inc. Investment

 

On February 8, 2021, we became a majority owner of NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“NUG Avenue”), which operates a licensed and regulated cannabis delivery service out of Lynwood, California, serving the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area (the “Lynwood Operations”). The Company currently owns a majority stake of seventy percent (70%) of NUG Avenue’s Lynwood Operations and holds first rights of refusal on NUG Avenue’s business expansion relative to the cannabis marketplace. By way of our capital injection made into NUG Avenue and via our 70% ownership position, we consolidate and recognize 100% of the revenues and 70% of profits or loss generated by NUG Ave for its Lynwood Operations.

 

Sacramento Area — Indigo Dye Group Corp. Budcars Investment

 

In February 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Indigo Dye Group Corp. (“Indigo”) to acquire a 40% stake in the Budcars Brand and in the Sacramento delivery operations. Under the terms of the agreement with Indigo, Sugarmade acquired an option to purchase an additional 30% interest in Budcars. Upon exercise of this option, the Company would acquire a controlling interest in Indigo. As of December 31, 2021, the option has not yet been exercised and the Company’s stake in Budcars remained at 40%. The Company is not likely at this time to exercise its option to acquire the additional 30% interest in Indigo. In addition, the Company is no longer involved in day-to-day operations of Indigo and, going forward, the Company intends to pursue cannabis delivery independent of Indigo and Budcars.

 

As of October 1, 2020, the Company ceased to have control over the day-to-day business of Indigo, and it was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $505,449 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. Pursuant to the terms of the Indigo agreement, if the Company determines, in its discretion not to continue to make full monthly payments, its 40% ownership interest in Indigo will be decreased according to the terms of the agreement with Indigo. As of December 31, 2020, the Company held approximately 32% of the ownership of Indigo because it reduced its monthly payments. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded equity method investment in affiliates at $380,660, net with $60,747 loss from equity method investment.

 

Cannabis Cultivation – Lemon Glow Company, Inc. Acquisition

 

On May 12, 2021, Sugarmade entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between Lemon Glow Company, Inc., a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”), Carnaby Spot Bay Corp, a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Ryan Santiago (the “Shareholder Representative”), pursuant to which, on May 25, 2021 and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Lemon Glow, with Lemon Glow being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Lemon Glow became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On October 28, 2021, Lemon Glow obtained a conditional Use Permit (UP) number from the Community Development Department of the Lake County, California, which the Company believes is an important early step towards the conditional Use Permit (UP) for commercial cannabis cultivation on the property that was acquired in the Lemon Glow merger. The issuance of the Conditional Use Permit (UP) number by the Lake County allows the Company to proceed with the state cannabis cultivation license application, and apply for certain other permits, such as from the Department of Cannabis Control, Department of Food and Agriculture, Department of Pesticide Regulation, Department of Fish and Wildlife, The State Water Resources Control Board, Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, Central Valley or North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, Department of Public Health, and Department of Consumer Affairs, as may be required. The Company intends to pursue full approval by the California and Lake County regulators to cultivate cannabis on up to thirty-two (32) acres out of the six-hundred-forty (640) acres acquired in the Lemon Glow merger.

While our Company is working diligently to satisfy the requirements of Lake County, California to allow the Company to cultivate cannabis at the Lemon Glow site, at this time, we do not have permits allowing us to cultivate cannabis in Lake County. Although we are optimistic that we will be able to obtain the required clearances to cultivate cannabis, there can be no assurance that any permits will ever be issued.

 

Sugarmade is committed to working diligently to satisfy the conditions required by the Lake County, California to allow the Company to cultivate cannabis. We intend to begin cultivating, with funding from Dutchess, after necessary licenses and permits are issued. All of the license and permit applications we have submitted are currently pending approval.

 

On January 24, 2022, we announced that we entered into a Letter of Intent with GenCann, Inc., the exclusive licensor of a group of cannabis chemovars that are rich in Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THC-V). However, the parties were unable to reach a definitive licensing agreement. The Letter of Intent terminated without penalty to either party on March 14, 2022. We intend to explore other strategic business partners for licensing other THC chemovars.

 

Our auditors, L&L CPAs, have indicated in their report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations and substantial decline in our working capital. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, we incurred an operating loss of $5,926,134. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we incurred an operating loss of $21,534,571. At June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $74,364,466. As of December 31, 2021, our Company had cash balance of $63,375, current assets totaling $2,185,432 and total assets of $18,191,627. We had current and total liabilities totaling $9,811,412 and $15,986,793, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, stockholders’ equity totaled $2,204,843. Although we have generated revenues, they are insufficient to make the Company profitable. Our business strategy includes increased spending in order to expand our business and ultimately vertically integrate in the cannabis market. There is no assurance we will succeed or be able to increase revenues from increased spending. There is no assurance that we will achieve positive cash flow or that our business will be profitable. Furthermore, if we achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profits on a quarterly or annual basis.

Reverse Stock Split and Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

 

A definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2022, informing shareholders of a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-200, with fractional shares rounded up to the next higher whole share (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split is subject to clearance by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), which is pending, and the Company will not effect the Reverse Stock Split until it is cleared by FINRA. The Board retains the authority to abandon the Reverse Stock Split for any reason at any time prior to effecting the Reverse Stock Split. The Information Statement also informed shareholders that the number of authorized shares of our common stock would be increased from 10,000,000,000 to 20,000,000,000. On March 2, 2022, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware which increased the total number of authorized shares that the Company has the authority to issue to 20,010,000,000, of which 20,000,000,000 are designated as common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 of which are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Summary Risk Factors

 

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 18 and elsewhere in this Prospectus. These risks represent challenges to the successful implementation of our strategy and to the growth and future profitability of our business. Below is a summary of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on the Company and its operations:

 

	●	The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
	●	We are a holding company, and our principal assets are held by subsidiaries, and accordingly we are dependent upon distributions from such operating subsidiaries to pay taxes and other expenses.
	●	We may fail to successfully execute our business plan.
	●	Our CEO, Jimmy Chan, will hold in excess of 50% of the voting power of our capital stock for the foreseeable future, including after this offering.
	●	Our acquisition strategy creates risks for our business.
	●	We may have difficulties integrating acquisitions or identifying new acquisitions.
	●	We may not be able to effectively manage our growth and the increased complexity of our business, which could negatively impact our brand and financial performance.
	●	We may need additional capital in the future, which could dilute the ownership of current shareholders or we may be unable to secure additional funding in the future or to obtain such funding on favorable terms.
	●	Profitability may not be realized.
	●	We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
	●	Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak.
	●	We have incurred losses since our inception, have yet to achieve profitable operations and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
	●	Despite the Dutchess financing, we may not have sufficient cash on hand.
	●	We may suffer from lack of availability of additional funds.
	●	Our substantial amount of indebtedness may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our indebtedness.
	●	We rely on technology, such as our information systems, to conduct our business. Failure to protect our technology against breakdowns and security breaches could adversely affect our business.
	●	The commercial success of our products is dependent, in part, on factors outside our control. The success of our new and existing products and services is uncertain.
	●	Third-party suppliers could fail to fulfill our orders for parts used to assemble our products, which would disrupt our business, increase our costs, harm our reputation, and potentially cause us to lose our market.
	●	Even if we expand our customer base, there is no assurance that we will continue to make a profit.
	●	Our management team’s attention may be diverted by acquisitions and searches for new acquisition targets, and our business and operations may suffer adverse consequences as a result.
	●	Economic conditions or changing consumer preferences could adversely impact our business.
	●	We may be unable to scale our operations successfully. Even if we are able to expand our business operations, we may be unable to successfully manage our future growth.
	●	Our inability to effectively manage our growth could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
	●	If we do not successfully generate additional products and services, or if such products and services are developed but not successfully commercialized, we could lose revenue opportunities.
	●	Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.
	●	The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business.

 

11

 

 

	●	If we fail to maintain satisfactory relationships with our larger customers, our business may be harmed.
	●	Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.
	●	We import many of our products from Asian countries, including the People’s Republic of China. Disruptions or a change in the tariff situation may negatively affect our business.
	●	Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global military and/or cyber conflict, including Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine.
	●	If product liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, we will incur substantial liabilities.
	●	We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
	●	We could become involved in claims or litigations that may result in adverse outcomes.
	●	The Farm Bill recently passed, and undeveloped shared state-federal regulations over hemp cultivation and production may impact our business.
	●	Laws and regulations affecting our industry to be developed under the Farm Bill are in development.
	●	U.S. Federal and foreign regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of cannabis laws and regulations and may negatively impact our revenue, or we may be found to be violating the Controlled Substances Act or other U.S. federal, state, or foreign laws.
	●	The approach to the enforcement of cannabis laws may be subject to change, which creates uncertainty for our business.
	●	We and our customers may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult to sell our products and services and manage our cash flows.
	●	We are subject to certain federal regulations relating to cash reporting.
	●	Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liability.
	●	Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of products we sell.
	●	Changes within the cannabis industry may adversely affect our financial performance.
	●	We are subject to certain tax risks and treatments that could negatively impact our results of operations.
	●	The Company’s industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them and advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.
	●	We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business.
	●	There is limited long-term data with respect to the efficacy, side effects and safety of our products and future clinical research studies on the effects of cannabis, hemp and cannabinoids and cannabis-based products may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding their benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance.
	●	We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.
	●	We have the ability to issue additional shares of our shares of preferred stock without asking for stockholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted.
	●	Our shares of Common Stock qualify as a penny stock. As such, we are subject to the risks associated with “penny stocks”. Regulations relating to “penny stocks” limit the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares and, as a result, our shareholders may have to hold their shares indefinitely.
	●	FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock and to deposit certificates in paper form or to clear shares for trading under Safe Harbor exemptions and regulations for unregistered shares.
	●	Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability.
	●	The trading market for our common stock is limited.
	●	We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
	●	If we fail to establish or maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may, therefore, be adversely impacted.

 

12

 

 

	●	The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may be affected by market conditions beyond our control. The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to many factors.
	●	Our common stock has been in the past, and may be in the future, a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”
	●	If we fail to establish or maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may, therefore, be adversely impacted.
	●	We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed, and the price of our securities could decline.
	●	The Selling Securityholder may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial diminution to the value of shares held by existing stockholders.
	●	Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
	●	Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.
	●	Fiduciaries investing the assets of a trust or pension, or profit-sharing plan must carefully assess an investment in our Company to ensure compliance with ERISA.
	●	Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.
	●	We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
	●	Changes in accounting principles and guidance, or their interpretation, could result in unfavorable accounting charges or effects, including changes to our previously filed financial statements, which could cause our stock price to decline.
	●	Being a public company results in additional expenses, diverts management’s attention, and could also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified directors.

 

In addition, our management has concluded that its historical recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations as well as its dependence on securing private equity and other financings raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and the auditor of Sugarmade has included an explanatory paragraph relating to its ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

 

Summary of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with Dutchess Capital Growth Fund LP

 

The Company and Dutchess are parties to a purchase agreement pursuant to which Dutchess is committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of shares of our Common Stock over a 36-month term (the “Commitment”), subject to the terms and conditions contained therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). Of the Commitment, the Company may issue up to 2,237,671,552 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”) to Dutchess for resale by Dutchess pursuant to this the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part (the “Registration Statement”). We may file additional registration statements to allow the Company to draw on the full Commitment amount after the date of this Offering, in accordance with SEC rules and regulations and the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

On January 6, 2022, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Dutchess providing for an equity financing facility (the “Equity Line”). The Purchase Agreement provides that upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the Purchase Agreement, Dutchess is committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement (the “Term”), which Term commences immediately following the initial date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement referenced below (the “Total Commitment”).

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Dutchess will not be obligated to purchase shares of common stock unless and until certain conditions are met, including but not limited to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becoming effective which registers Dutchess’ resale of any common stock purchased by Dutchess under the Equity Line. The Purchase Agreement obligates the Company to file the Registration Statement within 45 business days of January 6, 2022; provided, however, Dutchess must be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement.

 

13

 

 

From time to time during the Term, the Company, in its sole discretion, may provide Dutchess with one or more drawdown notices (each, a “Drawdown Notice”), to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Drawdown Notice Shares”), subject to the limitations discussed below. The actual amount of proceeds the Company will receive pursuant to each Drawdown Notice (the “Investment Amount”) is to be determined by multiplying the number of Drawdown Notice Shares by 93% of the lowest traded price of the common stock during the five business days prior to the Closing Date. Closing Date shall mean the date that is eight business days after the Clearing Date. Clearing Date shall mean the first business day that the Dutchess holds the Drawdown Notice Shares in its brokerage account and is eligible to trade the shares.

 

The maximum number of shares of common stock to be purchased pursuant to any single Drawdown Notice cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $250,000; (ii) 200% of the average daily traded value of the Drawdown Notice Shares during the five days immediately preceding the Drawdown Notice date; or (iii) that number of shares that would cause Dutchess to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Drawdown Notice Shares (the “Ownership Limit”).

 

In order to deliver a Drawdown Notice and sell Drawdown Notice Shares to Dutchess, certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement must be met, including: (a) the representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Purchase Agreement and the applicable closing date; (b) since the date of the Company’s most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), no event that had or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect has occurred; (c) the Company has no knowledge of an event it reasonably deems more likely than not to have the effect of causing the Registration Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective within 15 days following the delivery of the Drawdown Notice; and (d) the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company shall not issue any Drawdown Notice Shares if the issuance of such shares would exceed the aggregate number of shares of common stock which the Company may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules and regulations of the principal market upon which the common stock trades, or if the issuance would violate such principal market’s shareholder approval requirements or if the issuance would violate the Ownership Limit.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties. Unless earlier terminated, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier to occur of: (i) the end of the 36-month Term; (ii) the date that the Company sells and Dutchess purchases the Total Commitment amount; (iii) the date that the Registration Statement is no longer effective; or (iv) the occurrence of certain specified insolvency or bankruptcy-related events. The Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time by written notice to Dutchess in the event of a material breach of the agreement by Dutchess.

 

The Purchase Agreement also provides for mutual cross-indemnification of the parties and their affiliates in the event that either party incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses resulting from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements under the Purchase Agreement; an untrue or misleading statement or misleading omission in the Registration Statement or any preliminary or final prospectus pursuant thereto; or a violation or alleged violation of federal or state securities laws and regulations.

 

In connection with the Equity Line, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 6, 2022, with Dutchess (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale all of the shares issuable in accordance with the Purchase Agreement in a Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC no later than 45 business days after January 6, 2022; provided, however, Dutchess must be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement. We are obligated under the Registration Rights Agreement to file the Form S-1 registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and subsequent amendments or new registration statements to cover all Drawdown Notice Shares. The expenses associated with such registration will be paid by us.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement provides for cross indemnification for certain liabilities, including the Company indemnifying Dutchess to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Form S-1 registration statement, which includes this prospectus, any new registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which the common stock shares are offered, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for equitable remedies for any breach of the agreement.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities carries a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, including our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, before you decide to purchase our securities. Any one of these risks and uncertainties has the potential to cause material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results which could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements expressed by us and a significant decrease in the value of our common stock shares and warrants. Refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

We may not be successful in preventing the material adverse effects that any of the following risks and uncertainties may cause. These potential risks and uncertainties may not be a complete list of the risks and uncertainties facing us. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that we are presently unaware of, or presently consider immaterial, that may become material in the future and have a material adverse effect on us. You could lose all or a significant portion of your investment due to any of these risks and uncertainties.

	●	The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
	●	We are a holding company, and our principal assets are held by subsidiaries, and accordingly we are dependent upon distributions from such operating subsidiaries to pay taxes and other expenses.
	●	We may fail to successfully execute our business plan.
	●	Our CEO, Jimmy Chan, will hold in excess of 50% of the voting power of our capital stock for the foreseeable future, including after this offering.
	●	Our acquisition strategy creates risks for our business.

	●	Profitability may not be realized.
	●	We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
	●	Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

	●	Our substantial amount of indebtedness may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our indebtedness.
	●	We rely on technology, such as our information systems, to conduct our business. Failure to protect our technology against breakdowns and security breaches could adversely affect our business.
	●	The commercial success of our products is dependent, in part, on factors outside our control. The success of our new and existing products and services is uncertain.
	●	Third-party suppliers could fail to fulfill our orders for parts used to assemble our products, which would disrupt our business, increase our costs, harm our reputation, and potentially cause us to lose our market.
	●	Even if we expand our customer base, there is no assurance that we will continue to make a profit.
	●	Our management team’s attention may be diverted by acquisitions and searches for new acquisition targets, and our business and operations may suffer adverse consequences as a result.
	●	Economic conditions or changing consumer preferences could adversely impact our business.
	●	We may be unable to scale our operations successfully. Even if we are able to expand our business operations, we may be unable to successfully manage our future growth.
	●	Our inability to effectively manage our growth could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
	●	If we do not successfully generate additional products and services, or if such products and services are developed but not successfully commercialized, we could lose revenue opportunities.
	●	Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.
	●	The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business.
	●	If we fail to maintain satisfactory relationships with our larger customers, our business may be harmed.
	●	Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.

 

18

 

 

	●	We import many of our products from Asian countries, including the People’s Republic of China. Disruptions or a change in the tariff situation may negatively affect our business.
	●	Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global military and/or cyber conflict, including Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine.
	●	If product liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, we will incur substantial liabilities.
	●	We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
	●	We could become involved in claims or litigations that may result in adverse outcomes.
	●	The Farm Bill recently passed, and undeveloped shared state-federal regulations over hemp cultivation and production may impact our business.
	●	Laws and regulations affecting our industry to be developed under the Farm Bill are in development.
	●	U.S. Federal and foreign regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of cannabis laws and regulations and may negatively impact our revenue, or we may be found to be violating the Controlled Substances Act or other U.S. federal, state, or foreign laws.
	●	The approach to the enforcement of cannabis laws may be subject to change, which creates uncertainty for our business.
	●	We and our customers may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult to sell our products and services and manage our cash flows.
	●	We are subject to certain federal regulations relating to cash reporting.
	●	Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liability.
	●	Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of products we sell.
	●	Changes within the cannabis industry may adversely affect our financial performance.
	●	We are subject to certain tax risks and treatments that could negatively impact our results of operations.
	●	The Company’s industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them and advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.
	●	We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business.
	●	There is limited long-term data with respect to the efficacy, side effects and safety of our products and future clinical research studies on the effects of cannabis, hemp and cannabinoids and cannabis-based products may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding their benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance.
	●	We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.
	●	We have the ability to issue additional shares of our shares of preferred stock without asking for stockholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted.
	●	Our shares of Common Stock qualify as a penny stock. As such, we are subject to the risks associated with “penny stocks”. Regulations relating to “penny stocks” limit the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares and, as a result, our shareholders may have to hold their shares indefinitely.
	●	FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock and to deposit certificates in paper form or to clear shares for trading under Safe Harbor exemptions and regulations for unregistered shares.
	●	Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability.
	●	The trading market for our common stock is limited.
	●	We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
	●	If we fail to establish or maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may, therefore, be adversely impacted.
	●	The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may be affected by market conditions beyond our control. The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to many factors.

 

19

 

 

	●	Our common stock has been in the past, and may be in the future, a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”
	●	If we fail to establish or maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may, therefore, be adversely impacted.
	●	We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed, and the price of our securities could decline.
	●	The Selling Securityholder may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial diminution to the value of shares held by existing stockholders.
	●	Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
	●	Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.
	●	Fiduciaries investing the assets of a trust or pension, or profit-sharing plan must carefully assess an investment in our Company to ensure compliance with ERISA.
	●	Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.
	●	We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
	●	Changes in accounting principles and guidance, or their interpretation, could result in unfavorable accounting charges or effects, including changes to our previously filed financial statements, which could cause our stock price to decline.
	●	Being a public company results in additional expenses, diverts management’s attention, and could also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified directors.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors, L&L CPAs, have indicated in their report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations and substantial decline in our working capital. A “going concern” opinion could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of equity, incurring debt, or other financing alternatives. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon the availability and terms of future funding, continued growth, improved operating margins and our ability to profitably meet service commitments. If we are unable to achieve these goals, our business would be jeopardized and the Company may not be able to continue. If we ceased operations, it is likely that all of our investors would lose their investment.

 

We are a holding company, and our principal assets are held by subsidiaries, and accordingly we are dependent upon distributions from such operating subsidiaries to pay taxes and other expenses.

 

We are a holding company, and our principal assets are held by subsidiaries. Accordingly, we are dependent upon distributions from our operating subsidiaries to pay taxes and other expenses. If our operating subsidiaries do not generate sufficient revenues such that they can provide distributions to us, we may be unable to pay our taxes and other expenses which would have a materially adverse effect on our business operations and our Company as a whole.

 

We may fail to successfully execute our business plan.

 

Our shareholders may lose their entire investment if we fail to execute our business plan. Our prospects must be considered in light of the following risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, competition, the erosion of ongoing revenue streams, the ability to retain experienced personnel and general economic conditions. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our business plan. If we fail to successfully execute our business plan, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case our shareholders may lose their entire investment.

 

20

 

 

Our CEO, Jimmy Chan, will hold in excess of 50% of the voting power of our capital stock for the foreseeable future, including after this offering. If the voting power of our capital stock continues to be highly concentrated, it may prevent you and other minority stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest.

 

Jimmy Chan, our CEO, will continue to control in excess of 50% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock for at least as long as he continues to hold the Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, Mr. Chan will have majority voting power over all matters requiring stockholder votes, including: the election of directors; mergers, consolidations, and acquisitions; the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and other decisions affecting our capital structure; amendments to our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; and our winding up and dissolution.

 

This concentration of voting power may delay, deter or prevent acts that would be favored by our other stockholders. The interests of Mr. Chan may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of our other stockholders. This concentration of voting power may also have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of us. Also, Mr. Chan may seek to cause us to take courses of action that, in his judgment, could enhance his investment in us, but which might involve risks to our other stockholders or adversely affect us or our other stockholders, including investors in this offering. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline, or our other stockholders might not receive a premium over the then-current market price of our common stock upon a change in control. In addition, this concentration of voting power may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning shares in a company with significant stockholders.

 

Our acquisition strategy creates risks for our business.

 

We expect that we will pursue acquisitions of other businesses, assets, or technologies to grow our business. We may fail to identify attractive acquisition candidates, or we may be unable to reach acceptable terms for future acquisitions. We might not be able to raise enough cash to compete for attractive acquisition targets. If we are unable to complete acquisitions in the future, our ability to grow our business at our anticipated rate will be impaired.

 

We may pay for acquisitions by issuing additional shares of our common stock, which would dilute our shareholders, or by issuing debt, which could include terms that restrict our ability to operate our business or pursue other opportunities and subject us to meaningful debt service obligations. We may also use significant amounts of cash to complete acquisitions. To the extent that we complete acquisitions in the future, we likely will incur future depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the acquired assets. We may also record significant amounts of intangible assets, including goodwill, which could become impaired in the future. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including:

 

	●	difficulties integrating the operations, technologies, services and personnel of the acquired companies;
	●	challenges maintaining our internal standards, controls, procedures and policies;
	●	diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
	●	over-valuation by us of acquired companies;
	●	litigation resulting from activities of the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, customers, former shareholders and other third parties;
	●	insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with the acquisitions and unanticipated liabilities of the acquired companies;
	●	insufficient indemnification or security from the selling parties for legal liabilities that we may assume in connection with our acquisitions;
	●	entering markets in which we have no prior experience and may not succeed;

 

21

 

 

	●	risks associated with foreign acquisitions, such as communication and integration problems resulting from geographic dispersion and language and cultural differences, compliance with foreign laws and regulations and general economic or political conditions in other countries or regions;
	●	potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies; and
	●	impairment of relationships with clients and employees of the acquired companies or our clients and employees as a result of the integration of acquired operations and new management personnel.

 

We may have difficulties integrating acquisitions or identifying new acquisitions.

 

A major part of our strategy is to grow through acquisition. However, we may be unable to identify and consummate additional acquisitions or may be unable to successfully integrate and manage the product lines or businesses that we have recently acquired or may acquire in the future. In addition, we may be unable to achieve a substantial portion of any anticipated cost savings from acquisitions or other anticipated benefits in the timeframe we anticipate, or at all. Moreover, any acquired product lines or businesses may require a greater than anticipated amount of trade, promotional and capital spending. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, services and products of the acquired companies, personnel turnover and the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Any inability by us to integrate and manage any product lines or businesses that we have recently acquired or may acquire in the future in a timely and efficient manner, any inability to achieve a substantial portion of any anticipated cost savings or other anticipated benefits from these acquisitions in the time frame we anticipate or any unanticipated required increases in trade, promotional or capital spending could adversely affect our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Moreover, future acquisitions by us could result in our incurring substantial additional indebtedness, being exposed to contingent liabilities or incurring the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, all of which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

 

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth and the increased complexity of our business, which could negatively impact our brand and financial performance.

 

As we grow our business we may incur increasing costs, such as operating costs and marketing costs. If such expansion is not properly managed, it may adversely affect our financial and operating resources without achieving the desired effects.

 

As we only have a limited history of operating our business at its current scale, it is difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects, including our ability to grow in the future. In addition, our costs and expenses may increase rapidly as we expand our business and continue to invest in our cannabis verticals to enhance our competitiveness. Continued growth could also strain our ability to maintain reliable service levels for our clients and customers, develop and improve our operational, financial, legal and management controls, and enhance our reporting systems and procedures. Our costs and expenses may grow faster than our revenues and may be greater than what we anticipate. If we are unable to generate adequate revenues and to manage our costs and expenses, we may continue to incur losses in the future and may not be able to achieve or subsequently maintain profitability. Managing our growth will require significant expenditures and the allocation of valuable management resources. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization as it grows, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

 

22

 

 

We may need additional capital in the future, which could dilute the ownership of current shareholders or we may be unable to secure additional funding in the future or to obtain such funding on favorable terms.

 

Historically, we have raised equity capital, including debt convertible into equity capital, to support and expand our operations. To the extent that we raise additional equity capital, existing shareholders will experience a dilution in the voting power and ownership of their shares of Common Stock, and earnings per share, if any, would be negatively impacted. Our inability to use our equity securities to finance our operations could materially limit our growth. Any borrowings made to finance operations could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our operating results, a downturn in economic conditions, or increases in interest rates on borrowings that are subject to interest rate fluctuations. The amount and timing of such additional financing needs will vary principally depending on the timing of new product launches, investments and/or acquisitions, and the amount of cash flow from our operations. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to issue additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet any debt service requirements, we could be required to sell additional equity securities, refinance our obligations, or dispose of assets in order to meet debt service requirements. There can be no assurance that any financing will be available to us when needed or will be available on terms acceptable to us. Our failure to obtain sufficient financing on favorable terms and conditions could have a material adverse effect on our growth prospects and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Profitability may not be realized.

 

Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of revenues, loses and/or earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of products at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of products, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and/or services offered and their market acceptance.

 

Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market for our products. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.

 

Because of the anticipated nature of the products that we offer and attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:

 

	●	Our ability to raise sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate sufficient revenues to cover expenses.
	●	Our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns.
	●	Our ability to manage our capital and liquidity requirements based on changing market conditions.
	●	The amount and timing of operating and other costs and expenses.
	●	The nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations.

 

We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

 

Some of business initiatives in the hydroponic sector are new and are only in early stages of commercialization. As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for our Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. We cannot guarantee that a market for our Company will develop or that demand for our products will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

 

Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

 

Outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases such as COVID-19, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The slow-down in the global economy and the reduced levels of international and domestic travel experienced since the beginning of January would affect our business adversely. The Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken globally to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Existing insurance coverage may not provide protection for all costs that may arise from all such possible events. We are still assessing our business operations and the impact COVID-19 may have on our results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or in our sector in particular.

 

23

 

 

We have incurred losses since our inception, have yet to achieve profitable operations and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

 

Even if we obtain more customers or increase sales to our existing customers, there is no guarantee we will be able to generate a profit. Because we are a small company and have limited capital, we must limit our products and services. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to buy our products to operate profitably. Further, we are subject to raw material pricing which can erode the profitability of our products and put additional negative pressure on profitability. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 we incurred an operating loss of $5,926,134. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we incurred an operating loss of $21,534,571. At June 30, 2021 we had an accumulated deficit of $74,364,466. As of December 31, 2021, our Company had cash balance of $63,375, current assets totaling $2,185,432 and total assets of $18,191,627. We had current and total liabilities totaling $9,811,412 and $15,986,793, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, stockholders’ equity totaled $2,204,843. Although we have generated revenues, they are insufficient to make the Company profitable. We plan to increase our expenses associated with the development of our business. There is no assurance we will be able to derive revenues from the development of our business to successfully achieve positive cash flow or that our business will be successful. If we achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profits on a quarterly or annual basis.

 

We do not have sufficient cash on hand.

 

We expect to continue to commit significant resources and capital to develop and market existing and new products, services and enhancements. These products and services are relatively untested, and there is no assurance that we will achieve market acceptance for these products and services, or other new products and services that we may offer in the future. Moreover, these and other new products and services may face significant competition with new and existing competitors. In addition, new products, services and enhancements may pose a variety of technical challenges and require us to attract additional qualified employees. The failure to successfully develop and market these new products, services or enhancements could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we are subject to raw material pricing which can erode the profitability of our products and put additional negative pressure on profitability. Moreover, if we fail to accurately project demand for our new or existing products, we may encounter problems of overproduction or underproduction which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as damage our reputation and brand.

 

We may suffer from lack of availability of additional funds.

 

We expect to have ongoing needs for working capital in order to fund operations and to continue to expand our operations. To that end, we will be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. If we are successful, whether the terms are favorable or unfavorable, there is a potential that we will fail to comply with the terms of such financing, which could result in severe liability for our Company. If we are unsuccessful, we may need to (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c) seek extensions of time to fund liabilities, or (d) seek protection from creditors. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations altogether. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties.

 

24

 

 

In addition, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.

 

Our substantial amount of indebtedness may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, remain in compliance with debt covenants and make payments on our indebtedness.

 

Our substantial level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of, interest on or other amounts due with respect to our indebtedness. Our indebtedness could have other important consequences to you as a stockholder. For example, it could:

 

	●	make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including financial and other restrictive covenants, could result in an event of default under the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated note;
	●	make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
	●	require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
	●	limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
	●	place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
	●	limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other purposes.

 

Any of the above listed factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We rely on technology, such as our information systems, to conduct our business. Failure to protect our technology against breakdowns and security breaches could adversely affect our business.

 

We rely on technology, such as our information systems and social media platforms, to conduct our business. This technology is vulnerable to service interruptions and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners and vendors, or from attacks by malicious third parties. Such attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise, including organized criminal groups, “hacktivists,” nation states and others. The techniques used to breach security safeguards evolve rapidly, and they may be difficult to detect for an extended period of time, and the measures we take to safeguard our technology may not adequately prevent such incidents.

 

While we have taken steps to protect our confidential and personal information and invested in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information. Such incidents could adversely affect our business operations, reputation and client relationships. Any such breach would require us to expend significant resources to mitigate the breach of security and to address matters related to any such breach, including the payment of fines. Although we maintain an insurance policy that covers data security, privacy liability and cyber-attacks, our insurance may not be adequate to cover losses arising from breaches or attacks on our systems. We also may be required to notify regulators about any actual or perceived personal data breach as well as the individuals who are affected by the incident within strict time periods.

 

25

 

 

In addition, our use of social media presents the potential for further vulnerabilities. For instance, we may be subject to boycotts, spam, spyware, ransomware, phishing and social engineering, viruses, worms, malware, DDOS attacks, password attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, cybersquatting, impersonation of employees or officers, abuse of comments and message boards, fake reviews, doxing and swatting. While we have internal policies in place to protect against these vulnerabilities, we can make no assurances that we will not be adversely affected should one of these events occur.

 

The commercial success of our products is dependent, in part, on factors outside our control. The success of our new and existing products and services is uncertain.

 

The commercial success of our products is dependent upon unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control, such as the success of our competitors’ products. Our failure to attract market acceptance and a sustainable competitive advantage over our competitors would materially harm our business.

 

We expect to continue to commit significant resources and capital to develop and market existing and new products, services and enhancements. These products and services are relatively untested, and there is no assurance that we will achieve market acceptance for these products and services, or other new products and services that we may offer in the future. Moreover, these and other new products and services may face significant competition with new and existing competitors. In addition, new products, services and enhancements may pose a variety of technical challenges and require us to attract additional qualified employees. The failure to successfully develop and market these new products, services or enhancements could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we are subject to raw material pricing which can erode the profitability of our products and put additional negative pressure on profitability. Moreover, if we fail to accurately project demand for our new or existing products, we may encounter problems of overproduction or underproduction which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as damage our reputation and brand.

 

Third-party suppliers could fail to fulfill our orders for parts used to assemble our products, which would disrupt our business, increase our costs, harm our reputation, and potentially cause us to lose our market.

 

We depend on international third-party suppliers, including in The People’s Republic of China, for materials used to assemble our products. Changing federal tariffs could adversely affect our international third-party suppliers. We cannot predict the nature of any future tariffs, laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our suppliers and our business. These suppliers could increase prices to us, fail to produce products to our specifications or in a workmanlike manner and may not deliver the material or products on a timely basis. Our suppliers may also have to obtain inventories of the necessary parts and tools for production. Any change in our suppliers’ approach to tariffs or resolving production issues could disrupt our ability to fulfill orders and could also disrupt our business due to delays in finding new suppliers, providing specifications and testing initial production. Such disruptions in our business and/or delays in fulfilling orders would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as damage our reputation and brand.

 

Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global military and/or cyber conflict, including Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine.

 

Russia launched a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting multi-national sanctions, potential for global cyber conflict, and potential future financial market disruptions, both in the region and globally, are impossible to predict; the consequences resulting therefrom could cause a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation with little or no warning. For example, it may become difficult or impossible to import products, supplies and other equipment from Asian countries, including China. In the event that these possible logistical problems or other adverse economic conditions have ripple effects throughout the world and impact our operations and/or the market for our products, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Even if we expand our customer base, there is no assurance that we will continue to make a profit.

 

Our revenue growth has been derived from the sale of our products. Our success and the planned growth and expansion of our business depend on us achieving greater and broader acceptance of our products and expanding our customer base. There can be no assurance that customers will purchase our products or that we will continue to expand our customer base. If we are unable to effectively market or expand our product offerings, we will be unable to grow and expand our business or implement our business strategy. Even if we obtain more customers, there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue to generate a profit. Because we have limited capital, we may be required to limit our products and services. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to buy our products to operate profitably. If we cannot market our new and existing products and services profitably, we may have to limit or suspend or cease operations.

 

Our management team’s attention may be diverted by acquisitions and searches for new acquisition targets, and our business and operations may suffer adverse consequences as a result.

 

Mergers and acquisitions are time intensive, requiring significant commitment of our management team’s focus and resources. If our management team spends too much time focused on acquisitions or on potential acquisition targets, our management team may not have sufficient time to focus on our existing business and operations. This diversion of attention could have material and adverse consequences on our operations and our ability to be profitable.

 

Economic conditions or changing consumer preferences could adversely impact our business.

 

A downturn in economic conditions in one or more of the Company’s markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects. Although we attempt to stay informed of government and customer trends, any sustained failure to identify and respond to trends could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

 

We may be unable to scale our operations successfully. Even if we are able to expand our business operations, we may be unable to successfully manage our future growth.

 

If we are able to continue expanding our operations, we may experience periods of rapid growth that will require additional resources. Any such growth could place increased strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources, and we will need to train, motivate, and manage employees, as well as attract management, sales, finance and accounting, international, technical, and other professionals. In addition, we will need to expand the scope of our infrastructure and develop further physical resources. Any failure to expand these areas and implement appropriate procedures and controls in an efficient manner and at a pace consistent with the business objectives could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Our inability to effectively manage our growth could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

 

Our strategy envisions growing our business. We plan to expand our product, sales, administrative and marketing operations. Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems. As with other growing businesses, we expect that we will need to further refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. We also will need to hire, train, supervise, and manage new employees. These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention.

 

If we do not successfully generate additional products and services, or if such products and services are developed but not successfully commercialized, we could lose revenue opportunities.

 

27

 

 

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our product and service offerings. To that end we have engaged in the process of identifying new product opportunities to provide additional products and related services to our customers. The processes of identifying and commercializing new products is complex and uncertain, and if we fail to accurately predict customers’ changing needs and emerging trends, our business could be harmed. We have already and may have to continue to commit significant resources to commercializing new products before knowing whether our investments will result in products the market will accept. Furthermore, we may not execute successfully on commercializing those products because of errors in product planning or timing, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, or a lack of appropriate resources. This could result in competitors providing those solutions before we do and a reduction in net sales and earnings.

 

The success of new products depends on several factors, including proper new product definition, timely completion, and introduction of these products, differentiation of new products from those of our competitors, and market acceptance of these products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify additional new product opportunities, develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, or achieve market acceptance of our products or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.

 

Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.

 

Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of Management, as well as other personnel. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or our inability to attract suitably qualified replacements or additional staff could adversely affect our business. Our success also depends on the ability of Management to form and maintain key commercial relationships within the marketplace. No assurance can be given that key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills will be found. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and additional employees, our business may be adversely affected. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executive employees.

 

The loss of key management personnel could adversely affect our business.

 

The loss of one or more of our key employees could significantly harm our business. We depend on the continued services of our CEO, Jimmy Chan, and other employees as they work closely with independent associate leaders and are responsible for our day-to-day operations. Our success depends in part on our ability to retain our executive officers, to compensate our executive officers at attractive levels, and to continue to attract additional qualified individuals to our management team. Although we have not entered into employment agreements with our senior management team, and do not believe that any of them are planning to leave or retire in the near term, we cannot assure you that our senior managers will remain with us. The loss or limitation of the services of any of our executive officers or members of our senior management team, or the inability to attract additional qualified management personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or independent associate relations.

 

Changes in management or personnel have the potential to disrupt our operations due to the operational and administrative inefficiencies, added costs, increased likelihood of turnover, and the loss of personnel with vital institutional knowledge, experience and expertise, which could result in significant disruptions to our operations. In addition, we must successfully integrate any new executive leadership team members within our organization in order to achieve our operating objectives, and changes in key leadership positions may temporarily affect our financial performance and results of operations as new leadership becomes familiar with our business.

 

We may terminate any employee’s employment at any time, with or without cause, and any employee may resign at any time, with or without cause. We do not maintain any “key man” insurance for any employee, including our CEO.

 

The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business.

 

Our business depends on attracting independent directors, executives and senior management to advance our business plans. We currently do not have directors and officer’s insurance to protect our directors, officers and the company against to possible third-party claims. This is due to the significant lack availability of such policies in the cannabis industry at reasonably competitive prices. As a result, the Company and our executive directors and officers are susceptible to liability claims arising by third parties, and as a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified independent directors and executive management causing the development of our business plans to be impeded as a result.

 

28

 

 

If we fail to maintain satisfactory relationships with our larger customers, our business may be harmed.

 

We do not have and are unlikely to enter into long-term fixed quantity supply agreements with our customers. Due to competition or other factors, we could lose future business from our customers, either partially or completely. The future loss of one or more of our significant customers or a substantial future reduction of orders by any of our significant customers could harm our business and results of operations. Moreover, our customers may vary their order levels significantly from period to period and customers may not continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. In the event that in the future we lose any of our larger customers, we may not be able to replace that revenue source. This could harm our financial results.

 

Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.

 

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.

 

We import many of our products from Asian countries, including the People’s Republic of China. Disruptions or a change in the tariff situation may negatively affect our business.

 

Many of the products we market are manufactured in Asian countries and are then imported to our facilities in the United States and ultimately sold to our customers. There can be no assurance of the reliability of such channels and disruption would likely have a significant impact on our business operations, our ability to retain customers and on our ability to generate profits. A significant change in trade tariffs could also negatively affect our business operations.

 

If product liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, we will incur substantial liabilities.

 

From time to time, we may receive complaints from customers regarding our goods and services. We may become subject to product liability lawsuits from customers alleging injury because of a purported defect in our products or services, claiming substantial damages and demanding payments from us. Liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. We may be in the chain of ownership when we supply or distributes products, and therefore is subject to the risk of being held legally responsible for such products. Given the nature of these products (including their relation to cannabis or for other reasons), these claims may not be subject to insurance coverage or covered by insurance policies. Any resulting litigation, regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, could decrease demand for our products, result in product recalls or withdrawals, be costly, divert management attention, result in increased costs of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Any litigation or even negative publicity generated as a result of customer frustration or disagreement with the products or services could damage our reputation and diminish the value of our brand name, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

 

Some of business initiatives in the hydroponic sector are new and are only in early stages of commercialization. As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for our Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. We cannot guarantee that a market for our Company will develop or that demand for our products will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

 

29

 

 

We could become involved in claims or litigations that may result in adverse outcomes.

 

From time-to-time we may be involved in a variety of claims or litigations. Such proceeding may initially be viewed as immaterial but could prove to be material. Litigations are inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. Given the inherent uncertainties in litigation, even when we can reasonably estimate the amount of possible loss or range of loss and reasonably estimable loss contingencies, the actual outcome may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach. In addition, such claims or litigations could involve significant expense and diversion of management’s attention and resources from other matters.

 

Risks of Government Action and Regulatory Uncertainty

 

The Farm Bill recently passed, and undeveloped shared state-federal regulations over hemp cultivation and production may impact our business.

 

The Farm Bill was signed into law on December 20, 2018. Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the Secretary of USDA. A state’s plan to license and regulate hemp can only commence once the Secretary of USDA approves that state’s plan. In states opting not to devise a hemp regulatory program, USDA will need to construct a regulatory program under which hemp cultivators in those states must apply for licenses and comply with a federally-run program. The details and scopes of each state’s plans are not known at this time and may contain varying regulations that may impact our business. Even if a state creates a plan in conjunction with its governor and chief law enforcement officer, the Secretary of the USDA must approve it. There can be no guarantee that any state plan will be approved. Review times may be extensive. There may be amendments and the ultimate plans, if approved by states and the USDA, may materially limit our business depending upon the scope of the regulations.

 

Laws and regulations affecting our industry to be developed under the Farm Bill are in development.

 

As a result of the Farm Bill’s recent passage, there will be a constant evolution of laws and regulations affecting the hemp industry could detrimentally affect our operations. Local, state and federal hemp laws and regulations may be broad in scope and subject to changing interpretations. These changes may require us to incur substantial costs associated with legal and compliance fees and ultimately require us to alter our business plan. Furthermore, violations of these laws, or alleged violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, we cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, and it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business. While we have not identified any direct liabilities or business issue relative to the above items, there can be no assurance that any such issues will not arise in the future. Thus, there can be no assurance the Company will not be subject to contingent liabilities in the future relative to the above.

 

U.S. Federal and foreign regulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of cannabis laws and regulations and may negatively impact our revenue, or we may be found to be violating the Controlled Substances Act or other U.S. federal, state, or foreign laws.

 

The Company does have plans to cultivate, process, market or distribute cannabis or any products that contain cannabis, some of our customers do engage in such activities. Cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, is a Schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states where the use of cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal law. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The Department of Justice defines Schedule 1 controlled substances as “the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence.”

 

30

 

 

At present, numerous states and the District of Columbia allow their citizens to use medical cannabis. Additionally, many states have approved legalization of cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, for adult recreational use. The laws of these states relative to cannabis as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, use and possession illegal on a national level. If the federal government decides to enforce the Controlled Substances Act with respect to cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, persons that are charged with distributing, possessing with intent to distribute, or growing cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, could be subject to fines and imprisonment. Any such change in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws will cause significant financial damage to us.

 

The approach to the enforcement of cannabis laws may be subject to change, which creates uncertainty for our business.

 

As a result of the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, investments in, and the operations of, cannabis businesses in the U.S. are subject to inconsistent laws and regulations. Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our operations. Local, state and federal cannabis laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. It is also possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business. These ever-changing regulations could even affect federal tax policies that may make it difficult to claim tax deductions on our returns. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

 

Risks Associated with Bank and Insurance Laws and Regulations

 

We and our customers may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult to sell our products and services and manage our cash flows.

 

Since the commerce in cannabis, as not strictly defined in the 2018 Farm Bill, is illegal under federal law, federally most chartered banks will not accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with cannabis. Consequently, businesses involved in the cannabis industry often have trouble finding a bank willing to accept their business. The inability to open bank accounts may make it difficult for our customers to operate. There does appears to be recent movement to allow state-chartered banks and credit unions to provide banking to the industry, but as of the date of this report there are only nominal entities that have been formed that offer these services.

 

Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes, unlicensed money transmitter statute and the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. Despite guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury suggesting it may be possible for financial institutions to provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks remain hesitant to offer banking services to cannabis-related businesses. Consequently, those businesses involved in the cannabis industry continue to encounter difficulty establishing banking relationships. Our inability to maintain our current bank accounts would make it difficult for us to operate our business, increase our operating costs, and pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges and could result in our inability to implement our business plan. Similarly, many of our customers are directly involved in cannabis sales and further restriction to their ability to access banking services may make it difficult for them to purchase our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

31

 

 

We are subject to certain federal regulations relating to cash reporting.

 

The Bank Secrecy Act, enforced by FinCEN, requires us to report currency transactions in excess of $10,000, including identification of the customer by name and social security number, to the IRS. This regulation also requires us to report certain suspicious activity, including any transaction that exceeds $5,000 that we know, suspect or have reason to believe involves funds from illegal activity or is designed to evade federal regulations or reporting requirements and to verify sources of funds. Substantial penalties can be imposed against us if we fail to comply with this regulation. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, the imposition of a substantial penalty could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Due to our involvement in the cannabis industry, we may have a difficult time obtaining the various insurances that are desired to operate our business, which may expose us to additional risk and financial liability

 

Insurance that is otherwise readily available, such as general liability, and directors and officer’s insurance, is more difficult for us to find, and more expensive, because we are service providers to companies in the cannabis industry. There are no guarantees that we will be able to find such insurances in the future, or that the cost will be affordable to us. If we are forced to go without such insurances, it may prevent us from entering into certain business sectors, may inhibit our growth, and may expose us to additional risk and financial liabilities.

 

Risk Associated with Our Industry

 

Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of products we sell.

 

Demand for our products is often affected by general economic conditions as well as product-use trends in our target markets. These changes may result in decreased demand for our products. The occurrence of these conditions is beyond our ability to control and, when they occur, they may have a significant impact on our sales and results of operations. The inability or unwillingness of our customers to pay a premium for our products due to general economic conditions or a downturn in the economy may have a significant adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

 

Changes within the cannabis industry may adversely affect our financial performance.

 

Changes in the identity, ownership structure and strategic goals of our competitors and the emergence of new competitors in our target markets may harm our financial performance. New competitors may include foreign-based companies and commodity-based domestic producers who could enter our specialty markets if they are unable to compete in their traditional markets. The paper industry has also experienced consolidation of producers and distribution channels. Further consolidation could unite other producers with distribution channels through which we intend to sell our products, thereby limiting access to our target markets.

 

We are subject to certain tax risks and treatments that could negatively impact our results of operations.

 

Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking-controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substances Act). The IRS has invoked Section 280E in tax audits against various cannabis businesses in the U.S. that are permitted under applicable state laws. Although the IRS issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of such items is interpreted very narrowly, and the bulk of operating costs and general administrative costs are not permitted to be deducted. While there are currently several pending cases before various administrative and federal courts challenging these restrictions, there is no guarantee that these courts will issue an interpretation of Section 280E favorable to cannabis businesses.

 

The Company’s industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them and advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or make our products obsolete.

 

We are involved in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing products similar to ours or products that make our products less desirable to consumers or obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other entities.

 

32

 

 

We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business

 

Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize our market. The continued growth of the Internet and intense competition in our industry exacerbates these market characteristics. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of our products. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of our products. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of our current and prospective customers and must achieve significant market acceptance. We could also incur substantial costs if we need to modify our products and services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.

 

We also expect that new competitors may introduce products or services that are directly or indirectly competitive with us. These competitors may succeed in developing, products and services that have greater functionality or are less costly than our products and services and may be more successful in marketing such products and services. Technological changes have lowered the cost of operating communications and computer systems and purchasing software. These changes reduce our cost of selling products and providing services, but also facilitate increased competition by reducing competitors’ costs in providing similar products and services. This competition could increase price competition and reduce anticipated profit margins.

 

There is limited long-term data with respect to the efficacy, side effects and safety of our products and future clinical research studies on the effects of cannabis, hemp and cannabinoids and cannabis-based products may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding their benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance.

 

Research regarding the benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis, U.S. hemp or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) in dietary supplements, food or cosmetic products remains in early stages. There have been relatively few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis, U.S. hemp or isolated cannabinoids and there is limited long-term data with respect to efficacy, side effects and/or interaction of these substances with human or animal biochemistry. As a result, our products could have unexpected side effects or safety concerns, the discovery of which could lead to civil litigation, regulatory actions and even possibly criminal enforcement actions. In addition, if the products we sell do not or are not perceived to have the effects intended by the end user, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Future research and clinical trials may cast doubt or disprove such currently held beliefs about cannabis, or could raise or heighten concerns regarding, and perceptions relating to, cannabis, U.S. hemp and cannabinoids, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products with the potential to lead to a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, undue reliance should not be placed on such literature. In particular, the FDA has raised several questions regarding the safety of CBD and gaps in the public scientific literature supporting the use of CBD by the general population.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK AND THE OFFERING

 

We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.

 

We may require additional capital to fund our future business operations. On March 2, 2022, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with Delaware increasing our number of authorized Common Stock shares to 20,000,000,000. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our shares of common stock, who may experience dilution of their ownership interest of our shares of Common Stock. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock by our board of directors may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our shares of Common Stock.

 

33

 

 

We have the ability to issue additional shares of our shares of preferred stock without asking for stockholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 20,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of Common Stock or preferred stock is generally not subject to stockholder approval. Accordingly, any additional issuance of our shares of Common Stock, or shares of preferred stock that may be convertible into Common Stock, may have the effect of diluting your investment.

 

Our shares of Common Stock qualify as a penny stock. As such, we are subject to the risks associated with “penny stocks”. Regulations relating to “penny stocks” limit the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares and, as a result, our shareholders may have to hold their shares indefinitely.

 

Our shares of Common Stock are deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule_3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.

 

Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 240.15g(c)2 promulgated under the Exchange Act require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential investors in our shares of Common Stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares of Common Stock that are deemed to be “penny stock”.

 

Moreover, Regulation 240.15g-9 of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our shares of Common Stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. Holders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks suffers from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

	●	control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
	●	manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
	●	boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
	●	excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and mark-ups by selling broker-dealers; and
	●	the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.

 

34

 

 

Our Management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, Management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock and to deposit certificates in paper form or to clear shares for trading under Safe Harbor exemptions and regulations for unregistered shares.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker- dealers to recommend that their customers buy our shares of Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for our investor to deposit paper stock certificates or to clear our shares of Common Stock that are transferred electronically to brokerage accounts. There can be no assurances that our investors will be able to clear our shares for eventual resale.

 

Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability.

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and parts of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

The trading market for our common stock is limited.

 

We are quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s OTC Pink market tier under the trading symbol “SGMD”. This may result in limited shareholder interest and hence lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained.

 

Our principal stockholders, executive officers and directors own a significant percentage of our common stock and will be able to exert a significant control over matters submitted to the stockholders for approval.

 

Our officers and directors, and stockholders who own more than 5% of our common stock beneficially own a significant percentage of our common stock. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders. These stockholders, if they acted together, could significantly influence all matters requiring approval by the stockholders, including the election of directors. The interests of these stockholders may not always coincide with the interests of other stockholders.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock and do not currently intend to do so for the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in shares of our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.

If we fail to establish or maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may, therefore, be adversely impacted.

 

As a public company, we are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting for each of our fiscal years and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, provide a management report on the internal control over financial reporting, which must be attested to by our independent registered public accounting firm to the extent we decide not to avail ourselves of the exemptions provided under federal laws. Management has presently concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective and has reported such conclusions in management’s report in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021. In the event that the Company’s status with the SEC changes to that of an accelerated filer from a smaller reporting company, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to and report on our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Under such circumstances, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may still decline to attest to our management’s assessment, or may issue a report that is qualified, if it is not satisfied with our controls, or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us.

 

Shareholders and investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, we could become subject to investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources and could damage our reputation and diminish the value of our brand name.

 

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may be affected by market conditions beyond our control. The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:

 

	●	variations in our operating results and market conditions specific to our business;
	●	the emergence of new competitors or new technologies;
	●	operating and market price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable;
	●	changes in our Board or management;
	●	sales or purchases of our common stock by insiders;
	●	commencement of, or involvement in, litigation;
	●	changes in governmental regulations, in particular with respect to the cannabis industry;
	●	general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets; and
	●	many other factors that may influence, directly or indirectly, market conditions resulting from Russia’s military invasion of the Ukraine, including, but not limited to, economic sanctions and cyber conflict, which factors could destabilize financial markets and cause a material adverse effect on the price and/or market for our common stock.

 

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause the price of our common stock to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to our Board of Directors and management.

 

36

 

 

Our common stock has been in the past, and may be in the future, a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.”

 

Our common stock has been in the past, and may be in the future, a “penny stock” under applicable SEC rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per-share price below $5.00). Unless we successfully list our common stock on a national securities exchange, or maintain a per-share price above $5.00, these “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as “established customers” or “accredited investors.” For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, provide a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.

 

Legal remedies available to an investor in “penny stocks” may include the following:

 

	●	If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.
	●	If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages.

 

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. If our common stock is a “penny stock,” these requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.

 

Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments.

 

For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance at what time, if ever, our common stock will not be classified as a “penny stock” in the future.

 

If we fail to establish or maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may, therefore, be adversely impacted.

 

As reported previously by the Company in its periodic reports filed with the SEC, our internal control over financial reporting has weaknesses and conditions that have existed at least since January 2, 2020 that require correction or remediation. Our Chief Executive Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework – 2013 (COSO 2013 Framework) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based upon such evaluation, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on the COSO framework criteria. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were the relative inexperience of our management and supporting personnel with the compliance and control requirements of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting compliance.

 

We do not have accounting staff with sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for U.S. income taxes and complex U.S. GAAP matters. Currently, we contract with an outside certified public accountant that is Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) registered to assist us in maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures and the preparation of our financial statements for the foreseeable future. We plan to increase the size of our accounting staff at the appropriate time for our business and its size to ameliorate our concern that we do not have accounting staff with sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for U.S. income taxes and complex U.S. GAAP matters, which we believe would resolve the material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures, but there can be no assurances as to the timing of any such action or that we will be able to do so. In addition, we plan to provide additional training to our accounting personnel on U.S. GAAP, and other regulatory requirements regarding the preparation of financial statements.

 

37

 

 

We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed, and the price of our securities could decline.

 

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require an annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and for certain issuers an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In the event that our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer determines that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market prices of our securities will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and the market value of our securities may be negatively affected.

 

The Selling Securityholder may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial diminution to the value of shares held by existing stockholders.

 

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

 

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

 

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months, subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months, subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information, and notice requirements. Of the approximately 9,575,425,266 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 7, 2022, approximately 7,772,964,341 shares are tradable without restriction. Given the limited trading of our common stock, resale of even a small number of shares of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

The market price of shares of our Common Stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of our Common Stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, a large number of shares of our Common Stock becoming available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares.

 

38

 

 

Fiduciaries investing the assets of a trust or pension, or profit-sharing plan must carefully assess an investment in our Company to ensure compliance with ERISA.

 

In considering an investment in the Company of a portion of the assets of a trust or a pension or profit-sharing plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from tax under Section 501(a), a fiduciary should consider (i) whether the investment satisfies the diversification requirements of Section 404 of ERISA; (ii) whether the investment is prudent, since the Offered Shares are not freely transferable and there may not be a market created in which the Offered Shares may be sold or otherwise disposed; and (iii) whether interests in the Company or the underlying assets owned by the Company constitute “Plan Assets” under ERISA. See “ERISA Consideration.”

 

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and our bylaws, as amended, may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. Further, our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to approximately 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors in their sole discretion. Our Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, issue series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms. We cannot assure you of a positive return on investment or that you will not lose the entire amount of your investment in our common stock.

 

Changes in accounting principles and guidance, or their interpretation, could result in unfavorable accounting charges or effects, including changes to our previously filed financial statements, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These principles are subject to interpretation by the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting principles and guidance. A change in these principles or guidance, or in their interpretations, may have a significant effect on our reported results and retroactively affect previously reported results.

 

Being a public company results in additional expenses, diverts management’s attention and could also adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified directors.

 

As a public reporting company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. These requirements generate significant accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly and may place significant strain on our personnel and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to establish the requisite disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight are required.

 

As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have an adverse and even material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These rules and regulations may also make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. If we are unable to obtain appropriate director and officer insurance, our ability to recruit and retain qualified officers and directors, especially those directors who may be deemed independent, could be adversely impacted.

EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON THE COMPANY

 

The global outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus known as COVID-19 has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments or their impact on our financial results and condition. Thus far, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Nonetheless, our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of a pandemic, or public perception of such a risk, could cause customers to avoid public places, including retail properties, and could cause temporary or long-term disruptions in our supply chains and/or delays in the delivery of our products. These risks could also adversely affect our customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending for the products we sell. Moreover, any epidemic, pandemic, outbreak or other public health crisis, including COVID-19, could cause our employees to avoid our properties, which could adversely affect our ability to adequately staff and manage our businesses. “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities could also disrupt our operations if employees who cannot perform their responsibilities from home are not able to report to work. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our stores or other facilities. Although our medical dispensaries in Florida and Connecticut have been considered essential services and therefore have been allowed to remain operational, our adult-use operations may not be allowed to remain open during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent its further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, growth strategies and results of operations.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the disposition and/or resale of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholder or its transferees. We will, however, receive cash proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock shares to the Selling Securityholder. While we retain broad discretion on the use of proceeds, we intend to use such proceeds to fund our acquisition plan to become vertically integrated, and for working capital and general operational needs. The amounts that we actually spend for any specific purpose may vary significantly, and will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions. In addition, we may use a portion of any net proceeds to acquire complementary businesses; however, we do not have plans for any acquisitions at this time.

 

The intended use of proceeds in this section takes into account the potential impacts of COVID-19.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Dutchess may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of our Common Stock on otcmarkets.com or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares of our Common Stock are traded, or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices.

 

The Purchase Agreement with Dutchess provides that upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, Dutchess is committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of shares of our Common Stock over a 36-month term (the “Total Commitment” and the “Term”), which commences immediately following the initial date of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part (the “Registration Statement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the commitment period will begin on the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and ending on the earlier of (i) the end of the Term; (ii) the date that the Company sells and Dutchess purchases the Total Commitment amount; (iii) the date that the Registration Statement is no longer effective; or (iv) the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy-related events, as specified in the agreement (the “Total Commitment Period”).

 

40

 

 

During the Total Commitment Period, the Company, in its sole discretion, may provide Dutchess with one or more drawdown notices (each, a “Drawdown Notice”), to purchase a specified number of shares of our Common Stock (“Drawdown Notice Shares”), subject to the limitations discussed below. The Closing Date for each Drawdown Notice is eight business days after the first business day that Dutchess holds the Drawdown Notice Shares in its brokerage account and is eligible to trade the shares. The per share purchase price for each Drawdown Notice Share is equal to ninety-three percent (93%) (representing a 7% discount) of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock during the five business days prior to the Closing Date. This price was negotiated between the Company and Dutchess and considered several factors including the prevailing market conditions, including the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete, our future prospects; and our capital structures.

 

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to any single Drawdown Notice cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $250,000; (ii) 200% of the average daily traded value of the Drawdown Notice Shares during the five trading days immediately preceding the Drawdown Notice date; or (iii) that number of shares that would cause Dutchess to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Drawdown Notice Shares.

 

We may draw on the equity line under the Purchase Agreement from time to time, by putting Common Stock to Dutchess, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. The 2,237,671,552 shares of Common Stock included in this Prospectus represent a portion of the Common Stock issuable to the Selling Securityholder.

 

We offer no assurances that the offering price of our shares by the Selling Securityholder will correspond to the price at which our common stock will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for our common stock and warrants will develop and continue after this offering.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The agreements into which we may enter in the future, including indebtedness, may impose limitations on our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions on our capital stock. Payment of future dividends on our common stock, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business.

MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Pink tier of OTC Market Group, Inc. under the symbol “SGMD”. The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks,” as well as volume information. The trading of securities on the OTC Pink is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations for them, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. The closing price of our common stock on the OTC Pink tier on March 15, 2022 was $0.0004.

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated the high and low bid quotations for our common stock. These quotations represent inter-dealer quotations, without adjustment for retail markup, markdown, or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

In this prospectus, unless the context indicates otherwise, “Sugarmade,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” or “us” refer to Sugarmade, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the/our Company”) is a public company, incorporated in Delaware.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Quick Service Restaurant Supplies

 

Rising concerns regarding the plastic wastes accumulation is a major factor that propels the demand for the paper cups across the global market, which paper cups are commonly used in the quick service restaurant industry. Moreover, the rising penetration of quick services restaurants along with the rising demand for the home deliveries is increasing demand for paper cups. The changing consumption habits, rising urban population and busy and hectic schedule of the consumers are driving the growth of the global paper cups market. According to Precedence Research, the global paper cups market size is predicted to worth around US$ 9.2 billion by 2030 and is poised to grow at a noteworthy CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2030. The global paper cups market size was valued at US$5.5 billion in 2020. The paper cups are made of cardboard and are disposable in nature. The paper cups are extensively used for the packaging and serving hot and cold beverages across the globe. The paper cups have a low-density polyethylene coating that helps to retain the original taste and aroma of the beverage.

Cannabis-Related Products and Services

 

California’s Office of Administrative Law approved the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, which is the general framework for the regulation of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis in California. California has the oldest and most saturated cannabis market in the United States. By some estimates, it is the largest cannabis market in the world, with an estimated $4.3 billion in cannabis-related sales annually. There were over 600 operational dispensaries in early 2020. According to Arcview/BDS Analytics, the California cannabis market is expected to grow to more than $7.4 billion in annual sales by 2025, which represents a CAGR of 16.7%, compared to 2019.

OUR PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

 

We operate in the Quick Service Restaurant Supply and the Cannabis-Related Products and Services industries.

 

Quick Service Restaurant Supplies

 

The Company’s current business operations began in 2014, when CarryOutSupplies.com (“Carry Out Supplies”), which had operated for five years, was acquired by Sugarmade, Inc. Carry Out Supplies operates as a wholly owned subsidiary and imports and supplies quick service restaurants with a variety of their disposable and recyclable plastic and paper products as well as non-medical personal protection equipment for use in restaurants. Carryout Supplies is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies, servicing more than 2,000 quick-service restaurants. Our products include double poly paper cups for cold beverage; disposable, clear, plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, edible packaging, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons and many other similar products for this market sector. Carry Out Supplies also imports and supplies customers with non-medical personal protection equipment (PPE) used in the restaurant industry.

 

We estimate the Carry Out Supplies has approximately 20% market share in generic and custom printed products within the take-out frozen yogurt and ice cream industries. We target and supply to an underserved segment of the market – smaller and independent quick service restaurants. Typically, these restaurants are unable to afford the large minimum purchase volumes required by most suppliers. We benefit from this opportunity by allowing quick service restaurants to acquire custom printed disposable paper goods, such as those embossed with the restaurant’s logo and other information, in small lot sizes. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, Carry Out Supplies generated approximately $1.75 million revenue, which represents 44% of our revenue for that period. Carry Out Supplies is not dependent on a single customer or small group of customers in this industry. No single customer accounted for more than 10% in annual sales.

 

Cannabis-Related Products and Services

 

Cannabis Delivery and Sales

 

The California cannabis market continues to grow rapidly. The Southern California sub-market is one of the world’s largest single cannabis markets. According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the most recently reported quarterly period posted a significant increase in cannabis tax collection compared to the year-ago period. Like other types of delivery services, especially due to pandemic-related considerations, home cannabis delivery and convenience has rapidly gained acceptance among consumers. We believe that home delivery saves customers time and offers a convenient purchase method for cannabis products.

 

Los Angeles Area Delivery: In February 2021, we became the majority owner of NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“NUG Avenue”), which operates a licensed and regulated cannabis delivery service based in Lynwood, California, serving the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area. The Company currently owns 70% of NUG Avenue’s Lynwood operations and holds rights of first refusal to participate up to 70% in any geographic expansion by NUG Avenue in the cannabis delivery industry. By way of our capital injection made into NUG Avenue and via our 70% ownership position, we consolidate and recognize 100% of the revenues and 70% of profits or losses generated by NUG Ave for its Lynwood Operations. NUG Avenue has over 29,000 registered users and approximately 10,000 unique customers who have already received cannabis products through its delivery services. NUG Avenue is not dependent on business from any one or a small group of customers.

 

45

 

 

Planned Los Angeles Area Sales: In June 2021, we announced plans to obtain three non-storefront cannabis licenses from the Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation, along with corresponding licenses from the State of California Bureau of Cannabis Control. We can provide no assurance that these licenses will be issued. If issued, these licensed would allow us to open three new NUG Avenue delivery hubs in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Each of the three cannabis licenses issued by the L.A. Department of Cannabis Regulation allows for up to three of five designated categories of licensed cannabis-related business activities: retail delivery, manufacturing and packaging, distribution, transport-only and cultivation. If the non-storefront cannabis licenses are obtained, which there is no assurance of, we intend to utilize them for a combination of retail delivery, the manufacturing and packaging of cannabis products, and distribution of cannabis consumer products.

 

Sacramento Area Delivery: We made an early-stage minority investment Indigo Dye Group (“Indigo”) which operates the “Budcars” cannabis delivery brand servicing the Sacramento area. As of October 2020, Budcars has over 30,000 customers registered in the Sacramento area. Indigo is not dependent on business from any one or a small group of customers.

 

In early 2020, initially we became a 40% equity holder in Indigo. Under the investment agreement, to maintain our stake in Indigo, we are required to make monthly payments. If the Company determines, in its discretion not to continue to make full monthly payments, its 40% ownership interest in Indigo will decrease based on a formula in the agreement. As of December 31, 2021, we have opted to reduce payments and reduce our stake in Indigo from 40% to a 32% interest. Additionally, Sugarmade is no longer actively involved in day-to-day operations of Indigo.

 

Under the terms of our Indigo investment agreement, we hold an option to acquire an additional 30% interest in the company from the other owners. This option is currently exercisable and will expire on February 1, 2023. We have not exercised the option because we have allocated our resources to other opportunities more closely aligned with our long-term strategy of becoming a vertically integrated “seed-to-door” cannabis business and to focus on markets outside of the Sacramento area. We do not believe that we are likely to exercise the additional 30% Indigo option in the future.

 

Our investment in Indigo was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $505,449 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded equity method investment in affiliates at [$380,660], net with $60,747 loss from equity method investment.

 

Expansion into New Delivery Markets: In October 2021, we began pursuing geographic expansion by purchasing equity in other businesses with the long-term goal of offering delivery services in other parts of California. We are constantly looking for and evaluating new strategic opportunities to expand our business. In July 2021, we began pursuing opportunities to establish cannabis delivery operations in Oregon, a market where we continue to seek strategic opportunities. There is no assurance that we will ever enter the market in Oregon or any other states. Furthermore, we are actively evaluating strategic options for supplementing delivery with cultivation, manufacturing and packaging in California in the near-term. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to expand our business into these sub-sectors.

 

Cannabis Cultivation

 

In May 2021, we acquired 100% of Lemon Glow Company, Inc. (“Lemon Glow”) As a result of this acquisition, we own 640 acres of property to cultivate cannabis in a north central region of California, outside of Commercial Cannabis Cultivation Exclusion Zones. Presently we have a conditional Use Permit issued by Community Development Department of the Lake County, California, to cultivate on 32 acres of the Property, which we estimate can yield 128,000 pounds (64 tons) of dry trimmed cannabis flower annually. The Company believes that the issuance of the conditional Use Permit is a significant step towards eventually cultivating cannabis on the property. However, the Company must obtain additional approvals and licenses from other local and state regulatory authorities in California. We are working diligently to obtain the required approvals and licenses to begin growing cannabis on 32 acres of the 640 acre parcel we own.

 

We believe that our Company also benefits from the acquisition of Lemon Glow with the retention of its core executive team. They work on-site at the cannabis cultivation site, applying over 30 years of combined cannabis cultivation experience. The on-site team is currently preparing the land while licenses and permits for growing are pending. If we are able to obtain licenses and permits necessary to grow cannabis on the property, of which there is no assurance, we do not expect that growing will begin before June 2022. Furthermore, if we obtain the necessary licenses and permits, we intend to cultivate cannabis on one third of the 32-acre initial allowable planting area.

 

46

 

 

On January 24, 2022, we announced that we entered into a Letter of Intent with GenCann, Inc., the exclusive licensor of a group of cannabis chemovars that are rich in Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THC-V). However, the parties were unable to reach a definitive licensing agreement. The Letter of Intent terminated without penalty to either party on March 14, 2022. We intend to explore other strategic business partners for licensing other THC chemovars.

 

COMPETITION

 

The segments of the cannabis business in which we currently operate and expect to operate are highly competitive markets. Generally, there are high barriers to entry given the licensing required. However, the California cannabis market compared to other states permitting adult-use cannabis has fewer barriers to entry, is generally more accessible to startups, and more closely reflects free market dynamics.

 

Because of the relatively early stage of the industry in which we operate, we also face competition from new entrants. Over time, we expect that competition will become more intense, as more businesses compete and products continue to diversify. We may not have sufficient resources to compete effectively, which could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of our operations.

 

We hope to compete directly with cannabis producers and retailers within California and potentially in other markets. We would face intense competition from other companies that may have longer operating histories, higher capitalizations, additional financial resources, more manufacturing and marketing experience, greater access to public equity and debt markets and more experienced management than us. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of our operations. There is no assurance we can achieve profitability.

 

The vast majority of both manufacturing and retail competitors in our markets consist of localized businesses (i.e., doing business in only a single state market). There are a few multistate operators with whom we compete with in California. Aside from this direct competition, some out-of-state operators that are sufficiently capitalized to enter new markets through acquisitions are also part of the competitive landscape.

 

If we eventually pursue a multi-state growth strategy, we will face additional competition unique to each state. Furthermore, we also consider manufacturers of other consumer products potential competitors with the cannabis industry, such as those that manufacture pharmaceuticals, beverages containing alcohol, tobacco, health and beauty products, and functional wellness products.

 

Our auditors, L&L CPAs, have indicated in their report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations and substantial decline in our working capital. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 we incurred an operating loss of $5,926,134. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we incurred an operating loss of $21,534,571. At June 30, 2021 we had an accumulated deficit of $74,364,466. As of December 31, 2021, our Company had cash balance of $63,375, current assets totaling $2,185,432 and total assets of $18,191,627. We had current and total liabilities totaling $9,811,412 and $15,986,793, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, stockholders’ equity totaled $2,204,843.

 

Although we have generated revenues, they are insufficient to make the Company profitable. We hope to grow our business and achieve efficiencies through increased investment in scaling our Cannabis delivery throughout California via organic growth and or merger and acquisitions. There is no assurance we will be able to generate additional revenue from these investments, achieve positive cash flow or ultimately become profitable. If we achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profits on a quarterly or annual basis.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

 

There can be no assurance of continued inaction by U.S. federal authorities relative to our operations. Our business is at least partially focused on cannabis, hemp, and associated products and the legal sales of cannabis permitted under California law. Cannabis is a “Schedule 1” illegal drug under the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 811 (hereafter referred to as the “CSA”). Any enforcement actions taken by U.S. federal agencies against us or other operators in our industry could have a significant negative impact on our ability to generate revenue and/or profits. Enforcement actions may also affect the market for our common stock, including the prices at which our common stock trades.

 

As of November 29, 2021, thirty-seven states, the District of Columbia, and four U.S. Territories currently have laws legalizing cannabis in some form for either medicinal or recreational use governed by state-specific laws and regulations. Although legalized in some states, cannabis and hemp containing more than 0.3% THC are “Schedule 1” drugs under the CSA and remain illegal under federal law. Enforcement of the CSA regarding cannabis and hemp containing more than 0.3 percent THC may directly and materially adversely affect our revenues and profits. The risk of stricter enforcement of the CSA, in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated federal policy remains uncertain.

 

On August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) set out its prosecutorial priorities in light of various states legalizing cannabis for medicinal and/or recreational use. The “Cole Memorandum” provided that when states have implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, distribution, sale, and possession of cannabis, conduct in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to threaten the federal priorities. Indeed, a robust system may affirmatively address those priorities by, for example, implementing effective measures to prevent diversion of cannabis outside of the regulated system and to other states, prohibiting access to cannabis by minors, and replacing an illicit cannabis trade that funds criminal enterprises with a tightly regulated market in which revenues are tracked and accounted for. In those circumstances, consistent with the traditional allocation of federal-state efforts in this area, the Cole Memorandum provides that enforcement of state law by state and local law enforcement and regulatory bodies should remain the primary means of addressing cannabis-related activity. If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust to protect against the harms set forth above, the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory structure itself in addition to continuing to bring individual enforcement actions, including criminal prosecutions, focused on those harms.

 

On January 4, 2018, Attorney General and former Senator Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum for all United States Attorneys concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA. The memorandum rescinded all previous prosecutorial guidance issued by DOJ regarding cannabis, including the August 29, 2013 “Cole Memorandum”.

 

In rescinding the Cole Memorandum, Mr. Sessions stated that U.S. Attorneys must decide whether or not to pursue prosecution of cannabis activity based upon factors including the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community. Mr. Sessions reiterated that the cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana continues to be a crime under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act.

 

On March 23, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law a $1.3 trillion-dollar spending bill that included an amendment known as “Rohrabacher-Blumenauer,” which prohibits DOJ from using federal funds to prevent certain states “from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical cannabis.”

 

On December 20, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, otherwise known as the “Farm Bill”. Prior to its passage, hemp, a member of the cannabis family, was classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, illegal under the federal CSA.

 

With the passage of the Farm Bill, hemp cultivation containing less than 0.3 percent THC is now broadly permitted. The Farm Bill explicitly allows the transfer of hemp-derived products across state lines for commercial or other purposes. It also puts no restrictions on the sale, transport, or possession of hemp-derived products, so long as those items are produced in a manner consistent with the law.

 

48

 

 

Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, hemp cannot contain more than 0.3 percent THC. THC refers to the chemical compound found in cannabis that produces the psychoactive “high” associated with cannabis. Any cannabis plant that contains more than 0.3 percent THC would be considered non-hemp cannabis—or marijuana—under the CSA and would not be legally protected under this new legislation and would be treated as an illegal Schedule 1 drug.

 

Additionally, there will be significant shared state-federal regulatory power over hemp cultivation and production. Under Section 10113 of the Farm Bill, state departments of agriculture must consult with the state’s governor and chief law enforcement officer to devise a plan that must be submitted to the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture (hereafter referred to as the “USDA”). A state’s plan to license and regulate hemp can only commence once the Secretary of USDA approves that state’s plan. In states opting not to devise a hemp regulatory program, USDA will construct a regulatory program under which hemp cultivators in those states must apply for licenses and comply with a federally run program. This system of shared regulatory programming is similar to options states had in other policy areas such as health insurance marketplaces under Affordable Care Act, or workplace safety plans under Occupational Health and Safety Act—both of which had federally-run systems for states opting not to set up their own systems.

 

The Farm Bill outlines actions that are considered violations of federal hemp law (including such activities as cultivating without a license or producing cannabis with more than 0.3 percent THC). The Farm Bill details possible punishments for such violations, pathways for violators to become compliant, and even which activities qualify as felonies under the law, such as repeated offenses.

 

One of the goals of the previous 2014 Farm Bill was to generate and protect research into hemp. The 2018 Farm Bill continues this effort. Section 7605 re-extends the protections for hemp research and the conditions under which such research can and should be conducted. Further, section 7501 of the Farm Bill extends hemp research by including hemp under the Critical Agricultural Materials Act. This provision recognizes the importance, diversity, and opportunity of the plant and the products that can be derived from it, but also recognizes that there is still a lot to learn about hemp and its products from commercial and market perspectives.

 

In late January 2021, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said lawmakers are in the process of merging various cannabis bills, including his own legalization legislation. He is working to enact reform in this Congressional session. This would include the Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act, which would federally de-schedule cannabis, reinvest tax revenue into communities most affected by the drug war, and fund efforts to expunge prior cannabis records. It is likely that the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act would be incorporated.

 

Other federal legislation under review for possible submission includes the SAFE Banking Act (or Secure and Fair Enforcement Act), a bill that would allow cannabis companies to access the federally insured banking system and capital markets without the risk of federal enforcement action, and the Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States Act (or STATES Act), a bill that seeks protection for businesses and individuals in states that have legalized and comply with state laws).

 

Our operations may also be affected by regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act. Enforced by FinCEN, the act requires us to report currency transactions in excess of $10,000, including identification of the customer by name and social security number, to the IRS. This regulation also requires us to report certain suspicious activity, including any transaction that exceeds $5,000 that we know, suspect, or have reason to believe involves funds from illegal activity or is designed to evade federal regulations or reporting requirements and to verify sources of funds. Substantial penalties can be imposed against us if we fail to comply with this regulation. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, the imposition of a substantial penalty could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Active enforcement of the current CSA on cannabis and hemp containing more than 0.3 percent THC may directly and adversely affect our revenues and profits. The risk of strict enforcement of the CSA considering Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated federal policy remains uncertain.

 

49

 

 

As a result of the conflicting state and federal laws regarding cannabis, our investments and operations of cannabis businesses in the U.S. are subject to inconsistent laws and regulations. Laws and regulations affecting the cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our operations. Local, state, and federal cannabis laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. It is also possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business. These ever-changing regulations could even affect federal tax policies that may make it difficult to claim tax deductions on our returns. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

 

Any changes relative to the above areas, could significantly negatively impact our abilities to generate both revenue and profits.

 

California State and Local Regulations

 

In 1996, California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana through Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. This legalized the use, possession and cultivation of medical marijuana by patients with a physician recommendation for treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief. In 2003, Senate Bill 420 was signed into law establishing an optional identification card system for medical marijuana patients.

 

In September 2015, the California legislature passed three bills collectively known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MCRSA”). The MCRSA established a licensing and regulatory framework for medical marijuana businesses in California. In November 2016, voters in California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”) creating an adult use marijuana program for adults 21 years of age or older. Some provisions of AUMA conflicted with MCRSA, so the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill No. 94, known as Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”) in June 2017, amalgamating MCRSA and AUMA to provide a single set of regulations to govern a medical and adult use licensing regime for cannabis businesses in the State of California. MAUCRSA went into effect on January 1, 2018.

 

The three agencies that regulate cannabis at the state level are: (a) the California Department of Food and Agriculture, via CalCannabis, which issues licenses to cannabis cultivators; (b) the California Department of Public Health, via the Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch, which issues licenses to cannabis manufacturers; and (c) the California Department of Consumer Affairs, via the Bureau of Cannabis Control, which issues licenses to cannabis distributors, testing laboratories, retailers and micro-businesses.

 

On June 6, 2018, a proposal by the California Department of Consumer Affairs, the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Food and Agriculture to re-adopt their emergency cannabis regulations went into effect. Among the changes, applicants may now complete one license application, allowing for both medical and adult use cannabis activity. On January 16, 2019, California’s three state cannabis licensing authorities announced that the Office of Administrative Law officially approved state regulations for cannabis businesses. The final cannabis regulations took effect immediately and superseded the previous emergency regulations.

 

In order to legally operate a medical or adult use cannabis business in California, the operator must have both a local and state license. This requires license holders to operate in cities with cannabis licensing programs. Municipalities in California are allowed to determine the number of licenses they will issue to cannabis operators or can choose to ban cannabis businesses outright.

 

There are three principal license categories in California: (1) cultivation, (2) processing and (3) retailer. License holders are held to strict license renewal requirements.

 

Cultivation licenses permit commercial cannabis cultivation activity involving the planting, growing, harvesting, drying, curing, grading or trimming of cannabis. Such licenses further permit the production, labeling and packaging of a limited number of non-manufactured cannabis products and permit the licensee to sell cannabis to certain licensed entities (both medical and adult use licensees) within the State of California for resale or manufacturing purposes.

 

50

 

 

Processing licenses authorize manufacturers to process marijuana biomass into certain value-added products with the use of volatile or non-volatile solvents, depending on the license type.

 

Retailer licenses permit the sale of cannabis and cannabis products to both medical patients and adult use customers. Only certified physicians may provide medicinal marijuana recommendations. An adult use retailer license permits the sale of cannabis and cannabis products to any adult 21 years of age or older. It does not require the individual to possess a physician’s recommendation. Under the terms of such licenses, the holder is permitted to sell adult use cannabis and cannabis products to any person, provided the local jurisdiction permits the sale of adult use cannabis and the person presents a valid government-issued photo identification demonstrating that they are 21 years of age or older.

 

The California Cannabis Track-and-Trace (“CCTT”) system is the Track-and-Trace system used statewide to record the inventory and movement of cannabis and cannabis products through the commercial cannabis supply chain from seed to sale. The CCTT system must be used by all annual and provisional cannabis licensees, including those with licenses for cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, retail, distribution, testing labs and microbusinesses. The state’s contracted service provider for the CCTT system is Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Regulation and Compliance (“METRC”). Licensees are required to maintain records for at least seven years from the date a record is created.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL – CLIMATE CHANGE, WILDFIRES, AND DROUGHT CONDITIONS

 

Hemp and cannabis cultivation can be impacted by weather patterns and these unpredictable weather patterns may affect our operations in that our supplier might not be able to fully our operations on a consistent basis. Severe weather, including drought, hail and excessive heat, can destroy a cannabis crop, which could result in us having no cannabis to sell to our customers. These situations could substantially influence our ability to generate revenue and profits.

 

In the future, our operations could also be affected by global climate change. Earth’s climate has changed over the past century. The atmosphere and oceans have warmed, sea levels have risen, and glaciers and ice sheets have decreased in size. The best available evidence indicates that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the leading cause. Continuing increases in greenhouse gases will produce further warming and other changes in Earth’s physical environment and ecosystems. While our business operations have seen no adverse effects from climate change, such issues could affect our operations in the future. Over the coming years, we plan to closely monitor weather conditions to determine how changes could affect our future operations and plans for corporate growth.

 

We are also subject to various federal, state, local and non-U.S. laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the discharge, treatment, storage, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and wastes. We continually assess our compliance status and management of environmental matters to ensure our operations are in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. Investigation, remediation, operation and maintenance costs associated with environmental compliance and management of sites are a normal, recurring part of our operations. These costs often are allowable costs under our contracts with the U.S. government. It is reasonably possible that continued environmental compliance could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows if additional work requirements or more stringent clean-up standards are imposed by regulators, new areas of soil and groundwater contamination are discovered and/or expansions of work scope are prompted by the results of investigations.

 

The 2021 wildfire season in California experienced an unusually early start amid an ongoing drought and historically low rainfall and reservoir levels. According to the State of California Division of Forestry, the long-term trend is that wildfires in the state are increasing due to climate change in California. In terms of the number of fires burned, the 2021 season has been outpacing the 2020 season, which itself was the most significant season in the state’s recorded history. According to the State, as of July 11, 2021 more than three times as many acres have burned compared to the previous year through that date, with drought, extreme heat, and reduced snowpack contributing to the severity of the fires.[ The state also faces an increased risk of post-wildfire landslides. While we have seen no negative effects from such wildfires, our business operations could be affected by such conditions in the future.

Our future operations could also be affected by State of California and/or local governmental restrictions on water usage. Droughts are a recurring feature of California’s climate and are becoming increasingly severe due to climate change. According to the State of California. In the last century, the most significant statewide droughts occurred during the six-year period from 1929 to 1934, the two-year period from 1976 to 1977, the six-year period from 1987 to 1992, and the five-year period from 2012 to 2016. The 2012-2016 drought was one of extreme proportions, with record-high temperatures and record-low levels of snowpack and precipitation. In 2021, California finds itself yet again in a drought, with water conditions at the end of the wet season far below normal for the second year in a row. Continued drought in the California could affect our future business in that our suppliers may not be able to provide products for us to sell to our customers, which would affect our ability to generate revenues and produce profits. Drought conditions could also impact our abilities to cultivate cannabis in the future in that we may be unable to obtain adequate water rights or access to suitable water to cultivate future cannabis crops, if we decided in the future to attempt cannabis cultivation, although the Company currently has not such plans.

 

There can be no assurance that global climate changes and ongoing, or worsening, drought conditions and/or issue relative to wildfires within the state of California will not negatively impact our operations during future periods.

 

As a result, such issues could severely impact our ability to generate revenues and profits.

The real estate acquired from Lemon Glow is located within the inclusion zone which is qualified for cannabis activities in Lake County, California. Prior to getting the final permit to grow in any California city or county, this is the very first qualification for each parcel of land. The Company valued the eligibility of the property to qualify for a cannabis cultivation license from Lemon Glow at $10,000,000 with economic life of 10 years.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

 

The following diagram illustrates our organization structure:

 

 

CORPORATE HISTORY

 

Our Company was originally incorporated on June 5, 1986 in California as Lab, Inc. and later the same month, on June 24, 1986, changed its name to Software Professionals, Inc. On April 20, 1994, following the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1, our Company began quoting its stock on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “SFTW”. During this time our Company was in the software solutions business, developing, marketing, and supporting software products designed to automate the Management of computer systems for commercial concerns. On May 21, 1996, our Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc. On October 23, 1998, our Company’s shares of Common Stock began trading on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.

 

During August 2001, our Company filed a Form 15 for the purpose of deregistering its securities. On September 13, 2001, our Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 7, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California. On November 2, 2004, the Trustee filed its Report of Distribution and on January 4, 2005 a final decree was entered and the case was closed. On or near July 10, 2007, we filed the requisite documents with the State of California for the purpose of reinstating our corporate charter. In October 2007, Corporate Services International Profit-Sharing Plan (“CSIPSP”) agreed to contribute $30,000 as paid-in capital to our Company, the entire amount of which was contributed in January 2008. In consideration for the capital contribution, in October 2007 our Company issued to CSIPSP 225,000,000 shares of its Common Stock (pre-split, 9,000,000 post-split) representing approximately 97.83% of our shares of Common Stock outstanding on that date. On July 30, 2007, our Company through a series of transactions effectively reincorporated in the state of Delaware, while retaining the capital structure and number of shares outstanding of the previous California corporation. On January 14, 2008, our Company officially changed its name to Diversified Opportunities, Inc. On February 11, 2008, our Company enacted a reverse split of our shares of Common Stock on a 1:25 basis and concurrently increased our authorized capital stock to 310,000,000 shares comprised of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value.

Effective May 30, 2008, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 16, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between QRSciences Holdings Limited (“QRSciences”), an Australian corporation (“QRSciences”) and CSIPSP, QRSciences purchased all of CSIPSP’s 9,000,000 shares of DVOP common stock in exchange for the payment of $650,000 by QRSciences to CSIPSP. The 9,000,000 shares of DVOP common stock constituted 97.83% of the 9,199,192 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at that time. This purchase of CSIPSP’s shares by QRSciences resulted in a change of control. On April 13, 2010, QRSciences completed the sale of the 9,000,000 shares of our Company’s Common Stock which they owned to CT Partners, a California general partnership.

 

From the legal incorporation of Sugarmade-CA in March 2009 through October 2009, activities were primarily limited to exploring strategic alternatives and related negotiations in connection with what was to become its future operating business. On October 26, 2009, Sugarmade-CA (operating at the time as Simple Earth, Inc.) acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sugarmade, Inc. (“SMI”), a California corporation incorporated to import, sell and distribute sustainable and environmentally friendly non-tree-based paper products. SMI primarily sold its 100% tree free copy paper, as well as other 100% tree free paper products such as plates, bowls, napkins and toilet tissue. SMI did not have a long history having been founded in May 2009, nor did it have significant sales of its products and was therefore in search of a sales outlet for its products when acquired by Sugarmade-CA.

 

Sugarmade-CA acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of SMI in exchange for: 1) cash totaling $340,000; 2) a note payable totaling $60,000 (subsequently forgiven in February 2011); and 3) 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of our Company or 72,973 shares (with a nominal value at the date of acquisition of $.001 per share). Additionally, we are required to pay up to two additional earn-out payments of $200,000 to the seller of SMI: 1) if net income equals or exceeds $10 million in 2011; and/or 2) if net income exceeds $11 million in 2012.

 

In addition to minimal amounts of saleable inventory, SMI also had an exclusive license and supply agreement (“LSA”) with Sugar Cane Paper Company (“SCPC”) located in the People’s Republic of China. SCPC is a contract manufacturer and a holder of intellectual property in the area of paper from non-wood sources. Under the LSA (as subsequently amended), we obtained the exclusive right (as defined therein) to market, distribute and manufacture SCPC’s proprietary products in Europe, North and South America and in other designated territories in the world. We also obtained the rights to the Sugarmade brand name and trademarks and other provisions of the agreement with SCPC also inure to the benefit of our Company. On February 17, 2011, SCPC forgave all amounts including accrued interest outstanding under the note payable due to them totaling $62,800. We accounted for the forgiveness as a capital contribution.

 

On April 23, 2011, we entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Sugarmade-CA. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Sugarmade-CA (the “Exchange”). On May 9, 2011, our Company completed the Exchange. Our Company then changed its name from “Diversified Opportunities, Inc.” to “Sugarmade, Inc.” on June 24, 2011. Our Company operates under Sugarmade-CA, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (references in this filing to the Company include the operations of Sugarmade-CA).

 

Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Sugarmade-CA’s shareholders exchanged all of their shares of stock on a one-for-one basis for an aggregate of 8,864,108 shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the Exchange Agreement and effective at the closing of the Exchange transaction, our previous three principal shareholders agreed to enter into a Share Cancellation Agreement pursuant to which 8,762,500 shares held by them were canceled or redeemed in exchange for the Company’s payment of $210,000, the issuance of 200,000 warrants to purchase our shares of Common Stock at $1.25 per share, and certain registration rights.

 

In June 2017, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement for California, Oregon and Washington with privately held Plantation Corp. for its claimed breakthrough BudLife preservation technology based on integration of specialized gases and natural agents that allegedly dramatically extends the useful life of medical marijuana up to six (6) months by actively monitoring the internal containers environment and automatically adjusting its atmosphere as needed. We have conducted initial product prototype testing of the BudLife product, realizing positive results. The BudLife process is relatively untested, and there is no assurance that BudLife will achieve market acceptance. At this time, we are waiting for availability of BudLife products from Plantation, Corp.

In December 2017, we entered into a master marketing agreement with BizRight, LLC, a marketer and manufacturer of cannabis and hydroponic growth supplies, which offers a range of hydroponics-related products including: HPS grow lights, electronic ballasts, HPS Bulbs, nutrient mixes, environmental control products, pH measurement and calibration solutions and other cannabis-related grow and storage products. BizRight operates the ZenHydro.com website and other e-commerce properties and sells various products to distributors and retailers.

 

The Agreement with the owners of BizRight contemplated, in part, a Share Exchange Agreement wherein the Company would have acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of BizRight stock in exchange for the Company’s shares of authorized, a promissory note and earn-out shares. The negotiations required, among other requirements, that BizRight provide audited financial statements compliant with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to be filed by the Company in connection with the transaction. BizRight is currently having its financial statements audited. The Master Marketing Agreement with BizRight was later amended to include the acquisition of a BZRTH, LLC, a sister company of BizRight and a related party and affiliated entity with BizRight, assuming the same acquisition and other terms of the purchase option outlined in the original agreement.

 

The Company was the distributor of culinary seasoning products Sriracha Stix and Seasoning Stix. During September of 2016, the Company completed negotiations for and signed an agreement with HUY FONG FOODS, INC. (“HFFI”), the maker of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, under which the Company became a party to a license with Huy Fong Foods, Inc. gaining permission from Huy Fong Foods, Inc. to use the licensed marks for the limited products and purposes permitted by the license. Based on this agreement and a separate marketing and sales agreement signed with Seasoning Stixs International, LLC, the Company markets a culinary seasoning product named Sriracha Seasoning Stixs. Sriracha Seasoning Stixs are encapsulated Huy Fong Sriracha Sauce and other seasonings in the form of a stick, which are inserted into meat, fish and poultry prior to cooking. All trademarks, service marks and intellectual property remain the property of the respective owners.

 

We no longer operate in the culinary seasoning market. We now operate in the quick service restaurant supply and cannabis industries.

On December 11, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint from two convertible note holders and investors in the Company. On February 21, 2017, the Company signed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the matter of Hannan vs. Sugarmade. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the plaintiffs an aggregate of $227,000 to settle all claims against the Company, which included the payoff of two notes outstanding. The parties estimated the value of the notes at approximately $80,000. As of June 30, 2020, third parties had purchased two notes of approximately $80,000.

The discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. As used in this section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” unless otherwise indicated or the context requires, the terms “Sugarmade,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” or “us” and other similar terms mean Sugarmade, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the/our Company”) was originally incorporated on June 5, 1986 in California as Lab, Inc., and later that month, on June 24, 1986 changed its name to Software Professionals, Inc. On May 21, 1996, the Company changed its name to Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc. On June 20, 2007, Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware for the purpose of merging with Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc. a California Corporation so as to affect a redomicile to Delaware. On January 24, 2008, the Company changed its name to Diversified Opportunities, Inc. On May 9, 2011 we closed on a Share Exchange Agreement with Sugarmade, Inc., a California corporation and on June 24, 2011 changed our name to Sugarmade, Inc.

 

On October 24, 2014 we acquired SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation doing business as, CarryOutSupplies.com. Today, our Company, Sugarmade, Inc. operates much of its business activities through our subsidiaries, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’), NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“NUG Avenue”), and Lemon Glow Company, Inc., a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”). Sugarmade, Inc. was founded in 2010.

 

Shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market tier of OTC Markets, which is a quotation system for early-stage and developing companies. Our trading symbol is “SGMD”. Our corporate website is www.sugarmade.com.

 

We operate in the Quick Service Restaurant Supply and the Cannabis-Related Products and Services industries.

 

Quick Service Restaurant Supplies

 

The Company’s current business operations began in 2014, when CarryOutSupplies.com (“Carry Out Supplies”), which had operated for five years, was acquired by Sugarmade, Inc. Carry Out Supplies operates as a wholly owned subsidiary and imports and supplies quick service restaurants with a variety of their disposable and recyclable plastic and paper products as well as non-medical personal protection equipment for use in restaurants. Carryout Supplies is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies, servicing more than 2,000 quick-service restaurants. Our products include double poly paper cups for cold beverage; disposable, clear, plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, edible packaging, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons and many other similar products for this market sector. Carry Out Supplies also imports and supplies customers with non-medical personal protection equipment (PPE) used in the restaurant industry.

We estimate the Carry Out Supplies has approximately 20% market share in generic and custom printed products within the take-out frozen yogurt and ice cream industries. We target and supply to an underserved segment of the market – smaller and independent quick service restaurants. Typically, these restaurants are unable to afford the large minimum purchase volumes required by most suppliers. We benefit from this opportunity by allowing quick service restaurants to acquire custom printed disposable paper goods, such as those embossed with the restaurant’s logo and other information, in small lot sizes. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, Carry Out Supplies generated approximately $1.75 million revenue, which represents 44% of our revenue for that period. Carry Out Supplies is not dependent on a single customer or small group of customers in this industry. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of annual sales.

 

Cannabis-Related Products and Services

 

In November 1996, voters approved Proposition 215, which decriminalized medicinal cannabis in California. Since the proposition was passed, most, if not all the regulation has been left to local governments.

 

In 2015, California enacted three bills—Assembly Bill 243 (Wood, Chapter 688 of the Statutes of 2015); Assembly Bill 266 (Bonta, Chapter 689 of the Statutes of 2015); and Senate Bill 643 (McGuire, Chapter 719 of the Statutes of 2015)—that collectively established a comprehensive state regulatory framework for the licensing and enforcement of cultivation, manufacturing, retail sale, transportation, storage, delivery, and testing of medicinal cannabis in California. This regulatory scheme is known as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA).

 

In November 2016, California voters approved Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA). Under Proposition 64, adults 21 years of age or older may legally grow, possess, and use cannabis for nonmedicinal purposes, with certain restrictions. In addition, beginning on January 1, 2018, AUMA made it legal to sell and distribute cannabis through a regulated business. Although California has chosen to legalize the cultivation, distribution, and use of cannabis, it remains an illegal Schedule I controlled substance under federal law. The intent of Proposition 64 and MCRSA was to ensure a comprehensive regulatory system that takes the production and sales of cannabis away from an illegal market and curtails the illegal diversion of cannabis from California into other states or countries.

 

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis, California had a 2021 gross domestic product of $3.35 trillion dollars, representing 14.6% of the total U.S. economy. If California were an independent country, its GDP would be the fifth-largest in the World, only behind the United States, China, Japan, and Germany. Due to the sheer size of its economy and due to it being among the earliest states to allow for both medical and recreational sales of cannabis, California, by all measures and specifically referenced in a recent report by cannabis research firm BDSA, produces more regulated and taxed cannabis revenue than any other state. According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (the “CDTFA”), the state generated $5.2 billion in taxable sales during 2021, representing a 17.1% increase over the previous year. Taxes collected from the regulated sale of cannabis have become an important source of income for the State, with $1.3 billion collected during 2021 and $1.1 billion collected during 2020.

 

Our Cannabis Market Strategy and Businesses

 

We are involved in, or we are planning to enter, several sectors of the licensed and regulated California cannabis marketplace. These include cannabis delivery, cultivation, and general distribution. In addition, Sugarmade is actively seeking to make investments in areas related to these cannabis-specific industry verticals.

 

Our business strategy within the cannabis sector is to be highly selective in approaching business opportunities to engage in areas where we believe competition is less intense than the industry subsectors targeted by larger companies and established brands. Toward this goal, we have invested meaningfully in cannabis delivery service-related activities. The first of these was via our investments in Indigo Dye Group, which operates the Bud Cars cannabis delivery service in Sacramento, California. Additionally, we acquired a majority position in NUG Avenue, Inc., which is engaged in Los Angeles area cannabis delivery. We outline these business activities below.

Relative to cultivation, via our acquisition of Lemon Glow Company, outlined below, we aim to be highly selective on the types of cannabis cultivated at the site once permits are issued and permission granted to begin our cultivation efforts. Competition relative to outdoor cannabis cultivation, a still-active black market, and a complex regulatory environment has resulted in many cannabis cultivators struggling to produce profits. Due to these factors, we plan to cultivate unique cannabis strains at the property, as we believe such strains will be more marketable due to lesser competition. Our plans include growing cannabis varieties to be utilized for freezing immediately upon harvest. We believe the “Fresh Frozen” approach could yield our Company superior margins and potentially long-term supply agreement with cannabis processors and manufacturers.

 

Additionally, we plan to explore the cultivation of exotic strains of cannabis that produce higher percentages of minor cannabinoids, such as Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THC-V). At this time, our plans to cultivate for the Fresh Frozen market and to cultivate exotic strains are in the early stages, and no such activities are currently taking place.

 

Our current cannabis investments and operations center of cannabis delivery in the Sacramento and Los Angeles areas, as follows:

 

Cannabis Delivery and Sales

 

The California cannabis market continues to grow rapidly. The Southern California region is one of the world’s largest single cannabis markets. According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the most recently reported quarterly period posted a significant increase in cannabis tax collection compared to the year-ago period. Like other types of delivery services, especially due to pandemic-related considerations, home cannabis delivery and convenience has rapidly gained acceptance among consumers. We believe that home delivery saves customers time and offers a convenient purchase method for cannabis products.

 

Los Angeles Area Delivery: In February 2021, we became the majority owner of NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“NUG Avenue”), which operates a licensed and regulated cannabis delivery service based in Lynwood, California, serving the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area. The Company currently owns 70% of NUG Avenue’s Lynwood operations and holds rights of first refusal to participate up to 70% in any geographic expansion by NUG Avenue in the cannabis delivery industry. By way of our capital injection made into NUG Avenue and via our 70% ownership position, we consolidate and recognize 100% of the revenues and 70% of profits or loss generated by NUG Ave for its Lynwood Operations. NUG Avenue has over 29,000 registered users and approximately 10,000 unique customers who have already received cannabis products through its delivery services. NUG Avenue is not dependent on business from any one or a small group of customers.

 

Planned Los Angeles Area Sales: In June 2021, we announced plans to obtain three non-storefront cannabis licenses from the Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation, along with corresponding licenses from the State of California Bureau of Cannabis Control. We can provide no assurance that these licenses will be issued. If issued, these licensed would allow us to open three new NUG Avenue delivery hubs in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Each of the three cannabis licenses issued by the L.A. Department of Cannabis Regulation allows for up to three of five designated categories of licensed cannabis-related business activities: retail delivery, manufacturing and packaging, distribution, transport-only and cultivation. If the non-storefront cannabis licenses are obtained, which there is no assurance of, we intend to utilize them for a combination of retail delivery, the manufacturing and packaging of cannabis products, and distribution of cannabis consumer products.

 

Sacramento Area Delivery: We made an early-stage minority investment Indigo Dye Group (“Indigo”) which operates the “Budcars” cannabis delivery brand servicing the Sacramento area. As of October 2020, Budcars has over 30,000 customers registered in the Sacramento area. Indigo is not dependent on business from any one or a small group of customers.

In early 2020, initially we became a 40% equity holder in Indigo. Under the investment agreement, to maintain our stake in Indigo, we are required to make monthly payments. If the Company determines, in its discretion not to continue to make full monthly payments, its 40% ownership interest in Indigo will decrease based on a formula in the agreement. As of December 31, 2021, we have opted to reduce payments and reduce our stake in Indigo from 40% to a 32% interest. Additionally, Sugarmade is no longer actively involved in day-to-day operations of Indigo.

 

Under the terms of our Indigo investment agreement, we hold an option to acquire an additional 30% interest in the company from the other owners. This option is currently exercisable and will expire on February 1, 2023. We have not exercised the option because we have allocated our resources to other opportunities more closely aligned with our long-term strategy of becoming a vertically integrated “seed-to-door” cannabis business and to focus on markets outside of the Sacramento area. We do not believe that we are likely to exercise the additional 30% Indigo option in the future.

 

Our investment in Indigo was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $505,449 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded equity method investment in affiliates at $380,660, net with $60,747 loss from equity method investment.

 

Expansion into New Delivery Markets: In October 2021, we began pursuing geographic expansion by purchasing equity in other businesses with the long-term goal of offering delivery services in other parts of California. We are constantly looking for and evaluating new strategic opportunities to expand our business. In July 2021, we began pursuing opportunities to establish cannabis delivery operations in Oregon, a market where we continue to seek strategic opportunities. There is no assurance that we will enter the market in Oregon. Furthermore, we are actively evaluating strategic options for supplementing delivery with cultivation, manufacturing and packaging in the near-term. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to expand our business into these sub-sectors.

 

Cannabis Cultivation

 

In May 2021, we acquired 100% of Lemon Glow Company, Inc. As a result of this acquisition, we own 640 acres of property to cultivate cannabis in a north central region of California, outside of Commercial Cannabis Cultivation Exclusion Zones. Presently we have a conditional Use Permit issued by Community Development Department of the Lake County, California, to cultivate on 32 acres of the Property, which we estimate can yield 128,000 pounds (64 tons) of dry trimmed cannabis flower annually. The Company believes that the issuance of the conditional Use Permit is a significant step towards eventually cultivating cannabis on the property. However, the Company must obtain additional approvals and licenses from other local and state regulatory authorities in California. We expect to obtain the required approvals and licenses to begin growing cannabis on 32 acres of the 640 acre parcel we own in Spring of 2022.

 

We believe that our Company also benefits from the acquisition because the Lemon Glow in several ways. For example, the Lemon Glow core executive team remained with us. They work on-site at the cannabis cultivation site, applying over 30 years of combined cannabis cultivation experience. The on-site team is currently preparing the land while licenses and permits for growing are pending. If we are able to obtain licenses and permits necessary to grow cannabis on the property, of which there is no assurance, we do not expect that growing will begin before June 2022. Furthermore, if we obtain the necessary licenses and permits, we anticipate cultivating cannabis on one third of the 32-acre initial allowable planting area.

 

On January 24, 2022, we announced that we entered into a Letter of Intent with GenCann, Inc., the exclusive licensor of a group of cannabis chemovars that are rich in Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THC-V). However, the parties were unable to reach a definitive licensing agreement. The Letter of Intent terminated without penalty to either party on March 14, 2022. We intend to explore other strategic business partners for licensing other THC chemovars.

We had current and total liabilities totaling $9,811,412 and $15,986,793, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, stockholders’ equity totaled $2,204,843.

 

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

		2021				2020
Cash (used in) provided by:

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,399,196 for the six months ended December 31, 2021, and $2,167,187 for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was attributable to the changes in accounts receivable, prepayments, and other payables.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,213,278 for the six months ended December 31, 2021, and $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was attributable to purchase of new vehicles and land improvements.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,278,905 for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and $2,086,732 for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in cash inflow in 2021 was mainly due to proceeds from common stock issuance.

 

Our capital requirements going forward will consist of financing our operations until we are able to reach a level of revenues and gross margins adequate to equal or exceed our ongoing operating expenses. Other than the notes payable discussed above, borrowings from our bank and the production credit facility with our suppliers, we do not have any credit agreement or source of liquidity immediately available to us.

 

Given estimates of our Company’s future operating results and our credit arrangements with our suppliers, we are currently forecasting that we will need to secure additional financing to obtain adequate financial resources to reach profitability. As of December 31, 2021, we estimate that the cash necessary to implement our current business plan for the next twelve months is approximately $2,000,000.

 

Based on our need to raise additional funds to implement our business plans for the next twelve months, we have included a discussion concerning the presentation of our financial statements on a going concern basis in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our independent public accountants have included a similar discussion in their opinion on our financial statements through June 30, 2021. We will be required in the near future to issue debt or sell our Company’s equity securities in order to raise additional cash, although there are no firm arrangements in place for any such financing at this time. We cannot provide any assurances as to whether we will be able to secure the necessary financing, or the terms of any such financing transaction if one were to occur. The failure to secure such financing could severely curtail our plans for future growth or in more severe scenarios, the continued operations of our Company.

Capital Expenditures

 

Our current plans do not call for our Company to expend significant amounts for capital expenditures for the foreseeable future beyond relatively insignificant expenditures for office furniture and information technology related equipment as we add employees to our Company. We are however continually evaluating the production processes of our third-party contract manufacturers to determine if there are investments, we could make in their processes to achieve manufacturing improvements and significant cost savings. Any such desired investments would require additional cash above our current forecast requirements.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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 the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

 

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, which contains our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The interim results for the period ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’), Lemon Glow Company, Inc., a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”), and its majority owned subsidiary, NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“Nug Avenue”), and Indigo Dye Group Corp., an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate (formerly a variable interest entity as of September 30, 2020). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going concern

 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is endeavoring to increase revenue-generating operations. While priority is on generating cash from operations through the sale of the Company’s products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms to our Company, or which may not be available at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.

Business combinations

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, in accounting for its acquisitions. It requires the Company to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at the acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the acquisition date fair values of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company used third party valuation company to determine the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC’’) No. 606, Revenue Recognition. Sugarmade applied a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows: Machinery and equipment; Furniture and equipment; Vehicles; Leasehold improvements; and Building.

 

Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.

 

Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

68

 

 

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, there was $0 and $43,800 impairment loss of its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.

 

The new standard became effective April 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.

 

The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases. All existing leases are reported under this rule.

 

Under ASC 840, leases were classified as either capital or operating, and the classification significantly impacted the effect the contract had on the company’s financial statements. Capital lease classification resulted in a liability that was recorded on a company’s balance sheet, whereas operating leases did not impact the balance sheet.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method. Intangible assets represent purchased intangible assets including developed technology and in-process research and development, technologies acquired or licensed from other companies, customer relationships, non-compete covenants, backlog, and trademarks and tradenames. Purchased finite-lived intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Technologies acquired or licensed from other companies, customer relationships, non-compete covenants, backlog, and trademarks and tradenames are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the terms of the agreement, or estimated useful life. We capitalize cannabis cultivation license acquired as part of a business combination.

Stock based compensation

 

Stock based compensation cost to employees is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). We estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk-free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock. We use our company’s own data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Earnings (Loss) per share

 

We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The Company used Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities in determining the fair value using the Binomial option-pricing model for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

 

Derivative instruments

 

The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).

 

Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Segment Reporting

 

FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting’’, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

The Company’s financial statements reflect that substantially all of its operations are conducted in three industry segments – (1) paper and paper-based products such as paper cups, cup lids, food containers, etc., which accounts approx. 39% of the Company’s revenues; (2) Cannabis products delivery service and sales, which accounts approx. 61% of the Company’s total revenues.

 

A reconciliation of the Company’s segment operating income and cost of goods sold to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

 

		Three months ended
		December 31, 2021				December 31, 2020

New accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The pronouncement simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. The pronouncement also improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. The guidance clarifies how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when considering observable transactions under the measurement alternative. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company have adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021 and three months ended December 31, 2021.

 

71

 

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its financial statements.

 

On March 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-03, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting Alternative for Evaluating Triggering Events” (“ASU 2021-03”). The amendments in ASU 2021-03 provide private companies and not-for-profit (NFP) entities with an accounting alternative to perform the goodwill impairment triggering event evaluation as required in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill, as of the end of the reporting period, whether the reporting period is an interim or annual period. An entity that elects this alternative is not required to monitor for goodwill impairment triggering events during the reporting period but, instead, should evaluate the facts and circumstances as of the end of each reporting period to determine whether a triggering event exists and, if so, whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The amendments in this ASU are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued as of March 30, 2021. The Company have adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021 and period ended December 31, 2021.

 

On April 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” (“ASU 2021-04”) to clarify the accounting by issuers for modifications or exchanges of equity-classified warrants. The new ASU is available here and effective for all entities in fiscal years starting after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-04 on its financial statements.

 

On July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments”, which upon adoption requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable lease payments (that do not depend on a rate or index) as an operating lease on commencement date if classifying the lease as a sales-type or direct financing lease would result in a selling loss. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021.

 

On July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-07, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Stock Compensation” (“ASU 2021-07”) to address the concerns from stakeholders about the cost and complexity of determining the fair value of equity-classified share-based awards for private companies. It specifically permits private companies to use 409A valuations prepared under US Treasury regulations to estimate the fair value of certain awards under ASC 718. The Update is effective for private companies in fiscal years starting after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-07 on its financial statements.

 

On August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”) to require an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with revenue recognition guidance as if the acquirer had originated the contract. That is, such acquired contracts will not be measured at fair value. ASU 2021-08 is effective for privately held companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-08 on its financial statements.

MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth the names and ages of the members of our Board of Directors and our executive officers and the positions held by each. Our Board of Directors elects our executive officers annually by majority vote. Each director’s term continues until his or her successor is elected or qualified at the next annual meeting, unless such director earlier resigns or is remove. Set forth below is certain information concerning the directors and executive officers of the Company.

 

Name		Age		Position
Jimmy Chan		42		CEO & Chairman
Christopher Dieterich		73		Independent Director

 

Jimmy Chan has served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman since 2008. In addition, he has been, since 2008, the Chief Executive officer of CarryOutSupplies.com. From 2005 to 2007, he served as the Vice-President, for Emergence Capital, operating out of Garden Grove, California, and providing mortgage services to the general public. From 2003 to 2005, he was the Vice-President in charge of operations for Azusa Mobile, a T-Mobile authorized dealer, and prior to that he was the president of Cyber Gift, importing toys for distribution as a wholesaler. He is not an officer nor director of any other public companies.

 

Christopher H. Dieterich is qualified to serve as a Director by way his extensive legal and business experience. He graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1969 (BS Engineering), University of California at Berkeley 1970 (MS Engineering) on full scholarship by Ford Foundation; and the University of California at Los Angeles in 1979 (JD Law/MS Economics), pursuant to a grant from Olin Foundation. He operates a law firm that specializes in SEC filings and venture capital arrangements, and currently represents 15 reporting public entities. The firm has participated in capital raises for over 50 clients, and hundreds of millions of dollars for those clients. The Board believes Mr. Dieterich adds significant value to not only corporate governance, but also to operational and capital acquisition efficiency.

 

The Company does not carry key man life insurance policies on any of the above principals or other key personnel.

 

There has never been a petition under the Bankruptcy Act, or any State insolvency law filed by or against the Company or its principals or key personnel. Additionally, there has never been a receiver, fiscal agent, or similar officer appointed by a court for the business or property of any such persons, or any partnership in which any of such persons was a general partner at or within the past five years, or any corporation or business association of which any such person was an executive officer at or within the past five years.

 

Committees

 

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee. Rather, our full Board of Directors performs the functions of these committees. We do not believe it is necessary for our Board of Directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our Board of Directors for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making. Additionally, because our common stock is not listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange, we are not required to have such committees.

 

Director Independence

 

We have one independent director (Christopher Dieterich), as such term is defined in the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, at this time. The Company is not quoted on any exchange that requires director independence requirements.

 

73

 

 

Director Compensation

 

Currently, non-employee directors do not receive any compensation for their services as directors. In the future, the Company expects to develop and adopt a compensation plan for all directors, officers and employees.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.

 

Family Relationships

 

None.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

No executive officer, member of the Board of Directors or control person of our Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

We have not separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, both of which positions are held by Jimmy Chan. We believe that combining the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer allows for focused leadership of our organization which benefits us in our relationships with investors, customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies. We believe that consolidating the leadership of the Company under Mr. Chan is the appropriate leadership structure for our Company and that any risks inherent in that structure are balanced by the oversight of our other independent directors on our Board. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. The Board recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as the appointment of a lead independent director, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board may periodically review its leadership structure. In addition, following the completion of the offering, the Board will hold executive sessions in which only independent directors are present.

 

Our Board is generally responsible for the oversight of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories, financial and product commercialization. Our Board regularly reviews information regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Board regularly reviews plans, results and potential risks related to our business. The Board is also expected to oversee risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

●

for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders;

 

●

for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

 

●

under Delaware General Corporation Law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or

 

●

for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Delaware law and eliminate our rights and those of our shareholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our shareholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his or her fiduciary duty.

 

74

 

 

To the extent that our directors and officers are indemnified under the provisions contained in our bylaws, Delaware law or contractual arrangements against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Our articles of incorporation also permit us to maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We have not purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement, or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

 

These foregoing provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

We believe that these provisions and the insurance are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Compensation of Directors

 

Our current Directors do not receive compensation for their service on the board of directors. Unassociated with board service, Director Chan will receive annual salary of $250,000 in addition to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock earned annually. Upon closing of each acquisition, Director Chan will get 10% of the purchase price as special bonus.

 

Executive Compensation

 

The following table summarizes all compensation recorded by us in the past two fiscal years for each of our named executive officers:

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

As of March 7, 2022, below is information with respect to the securities holdings of (i) our named executive officers, (ii) our directors, (iii) our executive officers and directors as a group, and (iv) all persons which, pursuant to filings with the SEC and our stock transfer records, we have reason to believe may be deemed the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the shares of Common Stock.

 

The securities “beneficially owned” by an individual are determined in accordance with the definition of “beneficial ownership” set forth in the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and, accordingly, may include securities owned by or for, among others, the spouse and/or minor children of an individual and any other relative who resides in the same home as such individual, as well as other securities as to which the individual has or shares voting or investment power or which each person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of options or otherwise. Beneficial ownership may be disclaimed as to certain of the securities. The following table is based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding totaling 9,575,425,266 as of the date hereof.

Detailed Summary of Purchase Agreement

 

On January 6, 2022, Sugarmade, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Dutchess Capital Growth Fund LP (“Dutchess”) providing for an equity financing facility (the “Equity Line”). The Purchase Agreement provides that upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the Purchase Agreement, Dutchess is committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement (the “Term”), which Term commences immediately following the initial date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement referenced below (the “Total Commitment”).

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Dutchess will not be obligated to purchase shares of common stock unless and until certain conditions are met, including but not limited to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) becoming effective which registers Dutchess’ resale of any common stock purchased by Dutchess under the Equity Line. The Purchase Agreement obligates the Company to file the Registration Statement within 45 business days of January 6, 2022; provided, however, Dutchess must be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement.

 

From time to time during the Term, the Company, in its sole discretion, may provide Dutchess with one or more drawdown notices (each, a “Drawdown Notice”), to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Drawdown Notice Shares”), subject to the limitations discussed below. The actual amount of proceeds the Company will receive pursuant to each Drawdown Notice (the “Investment Amount”) is to be determined by multiplying the number of Drawdown Notice Shares by 93% of the lowest traded price of the common stock during the five business days prior to the Closing Date. Closing Date shall mean the date that is eight business days after the Clearing Date. Clearing Date shall mean the first business day that the Dutchess holds the Drawdown Notice Shares in its brokerage account and is eligible to trade the shares.

 

The maximum number of shares of common stock to be purchased pursuant to any single Drawdown Notice cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $250,000; (ii) 200% of the average daily traded value of the Drawdown Notice Shares during the five days immediately preceding the Drawdown Notice date; or (iii) that number of shares that would cause Dutchess to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Drawdown Notice Shares (the “Ownership Limit”).

 

81

 

 

In order to deliver a Drawdown Notice and sell Drawdown Notice Shares to Dutchess, certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement must be met, including: (a) the representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Purchase Agreement and the applicable closing date; (b) since the date of the Company’s most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), no event that had or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect has occurred; (c) the Company has no knowledge of an event it reasonably deems more likely than not to have the effect of causing the Registration Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective within 15 days following the delivery of the Drawdown Notice; and (d) the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company shall not issue any Drawdown Notice Shares if the issuance of such shares would exceed the aggregate number of shares of common stock which the Company may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules and regulations of the principal market upon which the common stock trades, or if the issuance would violate such principal market’s shareholder approval requirements or if the issuance would violate the Ownership Limit.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties. Unless earlier terminated, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier to occur of: (i) the end of the 36-month Term; (ii) the date that the Company sells and Dutchess purchases the Total Commitment amount; (iii) the date that the Registration Statement is no longer effective; or (iv) the occurrence of certain specified insolvency or bankruptcy-related events. The Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time by written notice to Dutchess in the event of a material breach of the agreement by Dutchess.

 

The Purchase Agreement also provides for mutual cross-indemnification of the parties and their affiliates in the event that either party incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses resulting from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements under the Purchase Agreement; an untrue or misleading statement or misleading omission in the Registration Statement or any preliminary or final prospectus pursuant thereto; or a violation or alleged violation of federal or state securities laws and regulations.

 

In connection with the Equity Line, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 6, 2022, with Dutchess (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale all of the shares issuable in accordance with the Purchase Agreement in a Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC.

 

The description of certain terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of such agreements, attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 12, 2022, as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Resale of Common Stock by Selling Securityholder

 

We are registering Common Stock offered by this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Securityholder. The Selling Securityholder, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, limited liability company or partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their securities on the OTC Pink (in the case of our Common Stock) or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which such securities are traded or in private transactions. The shares registered for resale in this prospectus being offered by the Selling Securityholder will be sold at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.

 

The Selling Securityholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of our Common Stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the Shares are traded or in private transactions. The Selling Securityholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Shares:

 

	●	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
	●	block trades in which the broker-dealer will sell the Shares as agent;
	●	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
	●	privately negotiated transactions;

 

82

 

 

	●	broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per share;
	●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
	●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Securityholders also may resell all or a portion of their securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

 

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholder from the sale of the securities offered by them will be the purchase price of the security less discounts or commissions, if any. We will receive proceeds from the sale of Shares to the Selling Security Holder under the Purchase Agreement, however we will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of securities being offered by the Selling Securityholder named herein.

 

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Selling Securityholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the securities is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the related Registration Rights Agreement, the Selling Securityholder may not engage in any short sales of the Company’s shares of Common Stock or other hedging activities. The Selling Securityholder may sell the Shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for itself or its customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the Selling Securityholder and/or the purchasers of Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the Shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that the Selling Securityholder will attempt to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The Selling Securityholder cannot assure that all or any of the Shares offered in this Prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the Selling Securityholder. In addition, any brokers, dealers, or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the Shares offered in this Prospectus are “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

Discounts, concessions, commissions, and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of Shares will be borne by the Selling Securityholder. The Selling Securityholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the Shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

 

The Selling Securityholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of our Common Stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgee or secured parties may offer and sell such the shares of Common Stock from time to time under this Prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or any other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee or transferee as Selling Securityholders under this Prospectus.

The Selling Securityholder also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees or pledgees will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus and may sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time under this Prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee or transferee as Selling Securityholders under this Prospectus.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of Common Stock. Otherwise, all discounts, commissions or fees incurred in connection with the sale of our shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be paid by the Selling Securityholder.

 

The Selling Securityholder shall acquire the securities offered hereby in the ordinary course of its business under the Purchase Agreement and has advised us that it has not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of its shares of Common Stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholder. We will file a supplement to this Prospectus if the Selling Securityholder enters into a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for sale of shares of Common Stock being registered. If the Selling Securityholder uses this Prospectus for any sale of the shares of Common Stock, it will be subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Pursuant to a requirement by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker/dealer may not be greater than eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to SEC Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

 

●	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
●	block trades in which the broker-dealer will sell the Shares as agent;
●	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
●	privately negotiated transactions;
●	broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per share;
●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or
●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, our securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states our securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

If a Selling Securityholder wants to sell its securities under this prospectus in the United States, the Selling Securityholder will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,” with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemptions from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor’s. The broker for a Selling Securityholder will be able to advise a Selling Securityholder in which states our securities are exempt from registration with that state for secondary sales.

 

Any person who purchases our securities from a Selling Securityholder offered by this prospectus who then wants to sell such securities will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.

 

When the registration statement that includes this prospectus becomes effective, and a Selling Securityholder indicates in which state(s) such Selling Securityholder desires to sell such Selling Securityholder’s securities, we will be able to identify whether such Selling Securityholder will need to register or will be able to rely on an exemption therefrom.

 

84

 

 

We have advised the Selling Securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of their securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

We are required to pay all of our fees and expenses incident to the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The registration expenses of any registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and such registration statement becoming effective, will be borne by the Company.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. Future sales of our common stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. The availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock acquired through the exercise of outstanding warrants could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, sales of our common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse as described below, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the prevailing market price to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.

 

Reverse Stock Split and Increase in Authorized Shares of Capital Stock

 

A definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2022, informing shareholders of a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-200, with fractional shares rounded up to the next higher whole share (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split is subject to clearance by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), which is pending, and the Company will not effect the Reverse Stock Split until it is cleared by FINRA. The Board retains the authority to abandon the Reverse Stock Split for any reason at any time prior to effecting the Reverse Stock Split. The Information Statement also informed shareholders that the number of authorized shares of our common stock would be increased from 10,000,000,000 to 20,000,000,000. On March 2, 2022, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware which increased the total number of authorized shares that the Company has the authority to issue to 20,010,000,000, of which 20,000,000,000 are designated as common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 of which are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

Sale of Restricted Shares

 

As of February 28, 2022, there were 9,425,425,266 shares of common stock outstanding. The 2,237,671,552 shares of common stock being offered by this Prospectus will be freely tradable, other than by any of our “affiliates,” as defined in Rule 144(a) under the Securities Act, without restriction or registration under the Securities Act. In addition, 1,802,460,925  outstanding shares were issued and sold by us in private transactions and those shares are, or will be, eligible for public sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These remaining shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated), including a person who may be deemed an “affiliate” of a company, who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least six months may sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: (1) 1% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock, or (2) if and when the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed under Rule 144. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements as to the manner of sale, notice, and availability of current public information about our company. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of us at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale by such person, and who has beneficially owned the restricted shares for at least one year, is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the restrictions described above.

 

We cannot estimate the number of shares of our common stock that our existing stockholders will elect to sell under Rule 144.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION’S POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by Delaware law, our articles of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiary (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows and the related notes to consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements) for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and expects continuing future losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Deconsolidation of Variable Interest Entities

 

As discussed in Notes 6 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company holds an equity investment in Indigo Dye Group (“Indigo”) and accounts for its investment as a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) for the year ended June 30, 2020. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company ceased their control and deconsolidated the VIE and now accounts its investment under the equity method. To reach its accounting conclusion, the Company claimed it holds no controlling financial interest in Indigo. We identified the assessment of the controlling financial interest in Indigo as a critical audit matter.

 

Our principal audit procedures performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:

 

	●	Evaluating if the Company has power to direct the activities of Indigo that the most significantly impact Indigo’s economic performance.
	●	Evaluating the Company’s obligation to absorb losses of Indigo that could potentially be significant to Indigo or the right to receive benefits from Indigo that could potentially be significant to Indigo.

 

Investments Impairment

 

As discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the investment as of June 30, 2021 was $441,407. The Company performs an impairment testing at least once a year, or as deemed necessary due to the identification of a triggering event. The Company recognized a total impairment charge of $43,800 during the year ended June 30, 2021. The Company tests the investment asset utilizing a discounted cash flow method to determine the estimated fair value.

 

We identified the assessment of the fair value of the Company’s investments to be a critical audit matter. The discount rates and revenue growth rates are subjective measures and changes to these assumptions could have a significant effect on the Company’s assessment of the investment’s fair value. Inherent uncertainties exist related to the Company’s revenue growth rates and how various economic and other factors, including the projected impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, could affect the Company’s forecasted assumptions of future cash flows. Auditing these elements involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment, including the need for specialized skills and knowledge.

 

Our principal audit procedures performed to address the investments impairment included the following:

 

	●	Assessing the Company’s ability to estimate future cash flows, including projected revenues, by comparing the Company’s historical cash flow forecasts by investment to actual results.
	●	Evaluating the reasonableness of assumptions used in the Company’s estimate of fair value, including the revenue growth rate, given the inherent uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.
	●	Utilizing personnel with specialized knowledge and skill in valuation to assist in assessing the appropriateness of the methodology applied in estimating the fair values of the Company’s investments, discount rate used in the Company’s estimate of the fair value, including performing sensitivity analysis.

 

Intangible Assets Impairment

 

As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s intangible assets were $10.6 million as of June 30, 2021. The Company’s intangible assets include amounts recognized in connection with business acquisitions. The intangible assets mainly related to the cannabis cultivation license. In accordance with ASC 360, definite-lived intangible assets were reviewed for impairment if a triggering event occurred. As of June 30, 2021, no triggering event was identified. As a result of that analysis, the Company concluded there was no impairment for intangible assets as of such date.

 

We identified the intangible assets impairment assessment as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the analysis. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

 

F-2

 

 

Our principal audit procedures performed to address the intangible assets impairment included the following:

 

	●	Performed qualitative procedures to identify if any indications to the impairment.
	●	Performed a sensitivity analysis of significant assumptions, particularly as it relates to revenue growth rates and operating margins and evaluating the impact on the fair values that would result from changes in the assumptions.
	●	Utilizing personnel with specialized knowledge and skill in valuation to assist in assessing the appropriateness of the methodology applied in estimating the fair values of the Company’s intangible assets and evaluating the reasonableness of certain assumptions used in valuation.

 

Goodwill Impairment

 

As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill was $757,648 as of June 30, 2021. The Company’s goodwill was recognized in connection with business acquisitions. In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least once a year. As of June 30, 2021, the Company concluded there was no impairment for intangible assets as of such date.

 

We identified the evaluation of the impairment analysis for goodwill as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the analysis. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

 

Our principal audit procedures performed to address the goodwill impairment included the following:

 

	●	Performed a sensitivity analysis of significant assumptions, particularly as it relates to revenue growth rates and operating margins and evaluating the impact on the fair values that would result from changes in the assumptions.
	●	Utilizing personnel with specialized knowledge and skill in analysis to assist in assessing the appropriateness of the methodology applied in estimating the fair values of the Company’s goodwill and evaluating the reasonableness of certain assumptions used in analysis.

 

Convertible Notes

 

As discussed in Notes 24 and 25 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had various debt instruments which included conversion features requiring bifurcation and separate accounting. Management evaluated the required accounting, significant estimates, and judgments around the valuation for these embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives were initially measured at fair value and have subsequently been remeasured to fair value at each reporting period and at settlement.

 

There is no current observable market for these types of features and, as such, the Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivatives using a binomial option pricing model to measure the fair value of the bifurcated derivative. As a result, a high degree of auditor judgment and effort was required in performing audit procedures to evaluate the conclusions reached by management, as well as the inputs to the Company’s binomial option pricing model.

 

Our principal audit procedures performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:

 

	●	We obtained an understanding of the controls and processes surrounding the evaluation, initial measurement and revaluation of the bifurcated derivatives.
	●	We evaluated management’s assessment and the conclusions reached to ensure these instruments were recorded in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance.
	●	We evaluated the fair value of the bifurcated derivatives that included testing the valuation models and assumptions utilized by management. We reviewed and tested the fair value model used, significant assumptions, and underlying data used in the model.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Nature of Business

 

Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the/our Company”) is a publicly-traded company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our previous legal name was Diversified Opportunities, Inc. Our Company, Sugarmade, Inc. operates much of its business activities through our subsidiaries, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’), NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“Nug Avenue”), and Lemon Glow Company, Inc., a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”). Sugarmade, Inc. was founded in 2010. In 2014, CarryOutSupplies.com was acquired by Sugarmade, Inc., creating the Company as it is today.

 

Shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Markets, which is a quotation system for early-stage and developing companies. Our trading symbol is “SGMD”. Our corporate website is www.Sugarmade.com.

 

As of the date of this filing, we are involved in several business sectors and business ventures:

 

Paper and paper-based products: The supply of consumable products to the quick-service restaurant sub-sector of the restaurant industry, and as an importer and distributor of non-medical personal protection equipment to business and consumers, via our CarryOutSupplies.com subsidiary (“Carryout Supplies”). Carryout Supplies is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies, servicing more than 2,000 quick-service restaurants. The primary products are plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, edible packaging, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons, and similar products for this market sector. This subsidiary, which was formed in 2009, was recently expanded to also offer non-medical personal protective equipment.

 

NUG Avenue, Inc. investment into licensed cannabis delivery in Los Angeles area markets. During February 2021, we became a majority owner of NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“NUG Avenue”), which operates a licensed and regulated cannabis delivery service out of Lynwood, California, serving the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area (the “Lynwood Operations”). The Company currently owns a majority stake of seventy percent (70%) of NUG Avenue’s Lynwood Operations and holds first rights of refusal on NUG Avenue’s business expansion relative to the cannabis marketplace. By way of our capital injection made into NUG Avenue and by via our 70% ownership position, we consolidate and recognize 100% of the revenues and 70% of profits or loss generated by NUG Ave for its Lynwood Operation.

 

Cannabis products delivery service and sales: As a joint owner in the Budcars licensed cannabis delivery service brand (“Budcars” or the “Budcars Brand”). Budcars operates a licensed cannabis delivery service in the Sacramento, California area. During early 2020, the Company entered into agreement with Indigo Dye Group (“Indigo”) to acquire 40% stake in the Budcars Brand and in the Sacramento delivery operations. Under the terms of the agreement with Indigo, Sugarmade acquired an option to purchase an additional 30% interest in Budcars. Upon exercise of this option, the Company would acquire a controlling interest in Indigo. As of June 30, 2021, the option has not yet been exercised and the Company’s stake in Budcars was at 40%. Starting on October 1, 2020, the Company plans to open new locations via purchasing equity in other Brand/Franchises to cover delivery for the entire California. Therefore, the Company is not likely at this time to exercise its option to acquire the additional 30% interest in Indigo. In addition, the Company is no longer involved in day-to-day operations of Indigo and going forward, the Company intends to pursue cannabis delivery independent of Indigo. As of October 1, 2020, the Company ceased to have control over the day-to-day business of Indigo and it was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $505,449 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. Pursuant to the terms of the Indigo agreement, if the Company determines, in its discretion not to continue to make monthly payments, its 40% ownership interest in Indigo will be decreased according to the payment then made. As of December 31, 2020, the Company made $59,370 additional payments, and hold approximately 32% of the ownership of Indigo. As of June 30, 2021, the Company recorded equity method investment in affiliates at $441,407, net with $81,725 loss from equity method investment. (See Note 6 and Note 7)

 

Selected cannabis and hemp projects: On May 12, 2021, SugarMade, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between Lemon Glow Corporation, a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”), Carnaby Spot Bay Corp, a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and Ryan Santiago (the “Shareholder Representative”), pursuant to which, on May 25, 2021 and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Lemon Glow, with Lemon Glow being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The principal asset of Lemon Glow is land and the Company is not an operating company. As a result of the Merger, Lemon Glow became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’), Lemon Glow Company, Inc., a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”), and its majority owned subsidiary, NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“Nug Avenue”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going concern

 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is endeavoring to increase revenue-generating operations. While priority is on generating cash from operations through the sale of the Company’s products, management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms to our Company, or which may not be available at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.

 

Business combinations

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, in accounting for its acquisitions. It requires the Company to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at the acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the acquisition date fair values of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company used third party valuation company to determine the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

 

F-9

 

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC No. 606, Revenue Recognition. Sugarmade applied a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.

 

The new standard became effective April 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.

 

The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases. All existing leases are reported under this rule.

 

Under ASC 840, leases were classified as either capital or operating, and the classification significantly impacted the effect the contract had on the company’s financial statements. Capital lease classification resulted in a liability that was recorded on a company’s balance sheet, whereas operating leases did not impact the balance sheet.

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

Machinery and equipment			3-15 years
Furniture and equipment			7 years
Vehicles			5 years
Leasehold improvements			30 years

 

Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.

 

Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, there was $43,800 and $2,066,958 impairment loss of its long-lived assets as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Income taxes

 

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their perspective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740’’), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax position, as defined, ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspect of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.

 

We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of October 2, 2008 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our ‘major’ tax jurisdictions and generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination after our 2013 U.S. federal income tax returns. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards, which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.

 

We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. We have not taken any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording of tax related liability as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method. Intangible assets represent purchased intangible assets including developed technology and in-process research and development, technologies acquired or licensed from other companies, customer relationships, non-compete covenants, backlog, and trademarks and tradenames. Purchased finite-lived intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Technologies acquired or licensed from other companies, customer relationships, non-compete covenants, backlog, and trademarks and tradenames are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the terms of the agreement, or estimated useful life. We capitalize cannabis cultivation license acquired as part of a business combination.

 

F-11

 

 

Stock based compensation

 

Stock based compensation cost to employees is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). We estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk-free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock. We use our company’s own data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Loss per share

 

We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted BPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1- observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The Company used Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities for conversion feature of the convertible notes and warrants in determining the fair value using Lattice Binomial model with the following assumption inputs:

 

Derivative instruments

 

The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).

 

Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Black-Scholes- Merton option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Segment Reporting

 

FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting’’, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

 

The Company’s financial statements reflect that substantially all of its operations are conducted in three industry segments – (1) paper and paper-based products such as paper cups, cup lids, food containers, etc., which accounts approx. 44% of the Company’s revenues; (2) Non-medical supplies such as non-medical fascial mask, which accounts approx. 0% of the Company’s total revenues; (3) Cannabis products delivery service and sales, which accounts approx. 56% of the Company’s total revenues.

 

New accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The pronouncement simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. The pronouncement also improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. The guidance clarifies how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when considering observable transactions under the measurement alternative. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company have adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021.

 

Prior period reclassification

 

Certain prior period balance sheet accounts have been reclassified in conformity with current period presentation including reclassification of $4,000 from derivative liability to warrant liability. The reclassification had no effect to the company’s consolidated statement of operations, statement of cash flow or statement of shareholder’s equity.

 

3. Business Combination

 

On May 12, 2021, SugarMade, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between Lemon Glow Corporation, a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”), Carnaby Spot Bay Corp, a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and Ryan Santiago (the “Shareholder Representative”), pursuant to which, on May 25, 2021 and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Lemon Glow, with Lemon Glow being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Lemon Glow became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Assumptions in the Allocations of Purchase Price

 

Management prepared the purchase price allocations for Lemon Glow relied upon reports of a third party valuation expert to calculate the fair value of certain acquired assets, which primarily included identifiable intangible assets, and property and equipment.

 

Estimates of fair value require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the acquired workforce, and other benefits that the Company believes will result from integrating the operations of the Lemon Glow with the operations of Sugarmade. Certain liabilities included in the purchase price allocations are based on management’s best estimates of the amounts to be paid or settled and based on information available at the time the purchase price allocations were prepared.

 

F-14

 

 

The fair value of the identified intangible assets acquired from the Lemon Glow was estimated using an income approach. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. Indications of value are developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return. More specifically, the fair value of the cannabis cultivation license was determined using the MPEEM method. MPEEM is an income approach to fair value measurement attributable to a specific intangible asset being valued from the asset grouping’s overall cash-flow stream. MPEEM isolates the expected future discounted cash-flow stream to its net present value. Significant factors considered in the calculation of the cannabis cultivation license intangible assets were the risks inherent in the development process, including the likelihood of government regulation and market acceptance.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Lemon Glow, the Company has assumed certain operating liabilities which are included in the respective purchase price allocations above.

 

Goodwill recorded in connection with Lemon Glow was approximately $757,648. The Company does not expect to deduct any of the acquired goodwill for tax purposes.

6. VIE

 

On February 7, 2020, the Company entered into a share sale and purchase agreement (the “Indigo Agreement”) with Indigo Dye Group Corp. (“Indigo”), a corporation located in Sacramento, California. Indigo carries on business as a cannabis seller and delivery business under the name BudCars. The major Cannabis Products include Flower, Edibles, Vape Cartridges, Pre-Rolls, & Concentrates, etc. All the products are finished goods. In addition, Indigo is operating a non-store front retail delivery business (Type-9 License# C9-0000286) in California.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Indigo Agreement, the Company agreed to invest $700,000 (the “Investment”) into Indigo for inventory, equipment, and marketing expenses. The Investment shall be made in twelve monthly equal installments of $58,333 with the acceleration of the payment schedule possible depending on business growth, cash flow needs and capital availability.

 

In exchange, the Company received 40% of Indigo’s issued shares upon execution of the final agreement. The value used for this transaction is $1,750,000 and each percentage (1%) of the company is worth $17,500. In the event that the Company is not able to make a payment of $58,333 in any month, it will have 90 days to cure the default. On the 91st day the investment plan will cease and the amount of invested capital will be calculated based on an enterprise value of $1,750,000 or $17,500 per 1% of owned equity.

 

In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indigo Agreement, the Company has the option to acquire an additional 30% interest in Indigo. Upon exercise of the option, the Company would obtain control over Indigo.

 

From late May 2020 until September 30, 2020, the Company was actively involved in development of Indigo’s operations with power to direct the activities and significantly impact Indigo’s economic performance. The Company also has obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits from Indigo. As such, in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J, Indigo is consolidated as an VIE of the Company.

 

Starting on October 1, 2020, the Company began to explore new locations via purchasing equity into other Brand/Franchises to cover delivery for the entire state of California. Therefore, the Company is not likely to proceed with the option to acquire the additional 30% interest in Indigo at this time. In addition, the Company is no longer involved in day-to-day operations and the Company will be pursuing cannabis delivery moving forward, independently from Indigo Dye Group. As of June 30, 2021, the Company continues to hold approximately 32% of the ownership of Indigo but ceased to have a controlling interest in the partnership and it was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $564,819 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. See footnote #7 Non-controlling interest and deconsolidation of VIE for details.

 

7. Non-controlling Interest and Deconsolidation of VIE

 

Starting in fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a variable interest entity, Indigo Dye Group, for accounting purposes. The Company owned approximately 29% of Indigo’s outstanding equity and as of September 30, 2020, involved its day-to-day operations, which gave the Company the power to direct the activities of Indigo that most significantly impact its economic performance. Accordingly, the Company recognized the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as a component of total shareholders’ equity, and the consolidated financial statements included the financial position and results of operations of Indigo as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

 

Starting on October 1, 2020, the Company plans to open new locations via purchasing equity in other Brand/Franchises to cover delivery for the entire California. Therefore, the Company is not likely at this time to exercise its option to acquire the additional 30% interest in Indigo. In addition, the Company is no longer involved in day-to-day operations of Indigo and going forward, the Company intends to pursue cannabis delivery independent from Indigo. As of October 1, 2020, the Company ceased to have control over the day-to-day business of Indigo and it was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $505,449 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. Pursuant to the terms of the Indigo agreement, if the Company determines, in its discretion not to continue to make monthly payments, its 40% ownership interest in Indigo will be decreased according to the payment then made. As of December 31, 2021, the Company made $59,370 in additional payments, and holds approximately 32% of the ownership of Indigo. (See Note 6)

 

The net asset value of the Company’s variable interest in Indigo Dye Group was approximately $326,812 as of October 1, 2020, the date of deconsolidation. The value of the Company’s variable interest on the date of deconsolidation was based on management’s estimate of the fair value of Indigo at that time. The Company concluded that the market approach was the most appropriate method to determine the fair value of the entity on the date of deconsolidation, given that Indigo raised equity funding from third-party investors around the same period (i.e., level 2 inputs). The Company recognized a gain on deconsolidation of approximately $313,928 with no related tax impact, which is included in other income, net on the consolidated statement of operations. As the Company is not obligated to fund future losses of Indigo, the carrying amount is the Company’s maximum risk of loss and accounted as equity method investment in affiliates in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company recorded equity method investment in affiliates at $441,407, net with $81,725 loss from equity method investment.

8. Litigation

 

From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. As of June 30, 2021, there were no legal claims pending or threatened against the Company that, in the opinion of our management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as of the date of this filing, we were involved in the following legal proceedings.

 

●

On December 11, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint from two convertible note holders and investors in the Company. On February 21, 2017, the Company signed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the matter of Hannan vs. Sugarmade. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the company agreed to pay the plaintiffs $227,000 to settle all claims against the Company, which included the payoff of two notes outstanding. The parties had estimated the value of the notes at approximately $80,000. As of June 30, 2020, third parties had purchased two (2) notes of approximately $80,000. As of June 30, 2021, there remains a balance, plus accrued interest on the $227,000 and on the $80,000 due under the notes.

 

There can be no assurances the ultimate liability relative to these lawsuits will not exceed what is outlined above.

If the estimated realizable value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value. On a consolidated basis, as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the balance for the inventory totaled $441,582 and $679,471, respectively. $0 was reserved for obsolescent inventory for the year ended June 30, 2021, and $15,445 were reserved for obsolescent inventory for the year ended June 30, 2020.

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021

 

1. Nature of Business

 

Sugarmade, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “the/our Company”) was originally incorporated on June 5, 1986 in California as Lab, Inc., and later that month, on June 24, 1986 changed its name to Software Professionals, Inc. On May 21, 1996, the Company changed its name to Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc. On June 20, 2007, Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware for the purpose of merging with Enlighten Softwear Solutions, Inc. a California Corporation so as to affect a redomicile to Delaware. On January 24, 2008, the Company changed its name to Diversified Opportunities, Inc. On May 9, 2011 we closed on a Share Exchange Agreement with Sugarmade, Inc., a California corporation and on June 24, 2011 changed our name to Sugarmade, Inc.

 

On October 24, 2014 we acquired SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation doing business as, CarryOutSupplies.com (“Carry Out Supplies”). Today, our Company, Sugarmade, Inc. operates much of its business activities through our subsidiaries, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’), NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“NUG Avenue”), and Lemon Glow Company, Inc., a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”). Sugarmade, Inc. was founded in 2010.

 

Shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market tier of OTC Markets, which is a quotation system for early-stage and developing companies. Our trading symbol is “SGMD”. Our corporate website is www.sugarmade.com.

 

As of the date of this filing, we are involved in several business sectors and business ventures:

 

Paper and paper-based products: The supply of consumable products to the quick-service restaurant sub-sector of the restaurant industry, and as an importer and distributor of non-medical personal protection equipment to business and consumers, via our Carry Out Supplies subsidiary. Carry Out Supplies is a producer and wholesaler of custom printed and generic supplies, servicing more than 2,000 quick-service restaurants. The primary products are plastic cold cups, paper coffee cups, yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cup lids, cup sleeves, edible packaging, food containers, soup containers, plastic spoons, and similar products for this market sector. This subsidiary, which was formed in 2009, was recently expanded to also offer non-medical personal protective equipment.

 

NUG Avenue, Inc. investment into licensed cannabis delivery in Los Angeles area markets. On February 8, 2021, we became a majority owner of NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“NUG Avenue”), which operates a licensed and regulated cannabis delivery service out of Lynwood, California, serving the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area (the “Lynwood Operations”). The Company currently owns a majority stake of seventy percent (70%) of NUG Avenue’s Lynwood Operations and holds first rights of refusal on NUG Avenue’s business expansion relative to the cannabis marketplace. By way of our capital injection made into NUG Avenue and via our 70% ownership position, we consolidate and recognize 100% of the revenues and 70% of profits or loss generated by NUG Ave for its Lynwood Operations.

 

We believe our investment into NUG Avenue will allow us to expand our presence into the licensed and regulated cannabis marketplace. The California cannabis market continues its rapid growth, with the Southern California sub-market representing the world’s largest single cannabis marketplace. According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the most recently reported quarterly period posted a significant increase in cannabis tax compared to the year-ago period. Much of this growth was driven by increased use of delivery services, as consumers are increasingly relying on home delivery for many goods, including cannabis.

 

Cannabis products delivery service and sales: As a joint owner in the Budcars licensed cannabis delivery service brand (“Budcars” or the “Budcars Brand”). Budcars operates a licensed cannabis delivery service in the Sacramento, California area. In February 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Indigo Dye Group Corp. (“Indigo”) to acquire a 40% stake in the Budcars Brand and in the Sacramento delivery operations. Under the terms of the agreement with Indigo, Sugarmade acquired an option to purchase an additional 30% interest in Budcars. Upon exercise of this option, the Company would acquire a controlling interest in Indigo. As of December 31, 2021, the option has not yet been exercised and the Company’s stake in Budcars remained at 40%. The Company plans to open new locations via purchasing equity in other franchise brands to cover delivery for the entire state of California. Therefore, the Company is not likely at this time to exercise its option to acquire the additional 30% interest in Indigo. In addition, the Company is no longer involved in day-to-day operations of Indigo and going forward, the Company intends to pursue cannabis delivery independent of Indigo. As of October 1, 2020, the Company ceased to have control over the day-to-day business of Indigo and it was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $505,449 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. Pursuant to the terms of the Indigo agreement, if the Company determines, in its discretion not to continue to make monthly payments, its 40% ownership interest in Indigo will be decreased according to the payment then made. As of December 31, 2020, the Company made $59,370 additional payments, and held approximately 32% of the ownership of Indigo. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded equity method investment in affiliates at $380,660, net with $60,747 loss from equity method investment.

 

Selected cannabis and hemp projects: On May 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement by and between Carnaby Spot Bay Corp, a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Lemon Glow Company, a California corporation, and  (the “Lemon Glow”) and Ryan Santiago (the “Shareholder Representative”), where the Merger Sub would merge with and into Lemon Glow, with Lemon Glow being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).  Thus, Lemon Glow was the surviving entity, which was subsequently merged into the Company.  The purpose of the transactions was to establish a licensed and permitted entity whereby Sugarmade would cultivate, manufacture, and distribute cannabis to the California markets.  At the time of the transactions, neither Lemon Glow, the Merger Sub, nor Sugarmade was permitted and licensed for such activities.

 

On October 28, 2021, Lemon Glow Company obtained a conditional Use Permit (UP) number from the Community Development Department of the County of Lake, California, which the Company believes is an important step towards the conditional Use Permit (UP) for commercial cannabis cultivation at its Property.  The issuance of the Conditional Use Permit (UP) number by the County of Lake allows the Company to proceed with the state cannabis cultivation license application, and potentially obtain certain applicable permits, such as from the Department of Cannabis Control, Department of Food and Agriculture, Department of Pesticide Regulation, Department of Fish and Wildlife, The State Water Resources Control Board, Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, Central Valley or North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, Department of Public Health, and Department of Consumer Affairs, as may be required.  The Company believes that obtaining the conditional Use Permit (UP) number by the County of Lake could lead towards full approval to cultivate cannabis on up to thirty-two (32) acres out of the total six-hundred-forty (640) acres of the Property.

 

As of the date of this filing, Sugarmade is working diligently on conditions required by the County of Lake to allow the Company to cultivate cannabis.  It is the Company’s intention to begin such activities at the earliest time possible, assuming permits are ultimately issued. However, no such license or permits have yet been issued, and applications are still pending.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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 the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, which contains our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The interim results for the period ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SWC Group, Inc., a California corporation (“SWC’’), Lemon Glow Company, Inc., a California corporation (“Lemon Glow”), and its majority owned subsidiary, NUG Avenue, Inc., a California corporation (“Nug Avenue”), as well as Indigo Dye Group Corp., an equity investee. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going concern

 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, in which it has not been successful, and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These unaudited condensed consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management endeavors to increase revenue-generating operations. While the Company’s priority is on generating cash from operations, management also seek to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity and/or debt securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms to our Company, or which may not be available at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and our operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us and/or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock.

 

Business combinations

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, in accounting for its acquisitions. It requires the Company to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at the acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the acquisition date fair values of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company used third party valuation company to determine the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC’’) No. 606, Revenue Recognition. Sugarmade applied a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time control of the products transfers to the customer.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

 

Machinery and equipment		3-5 years
Furniture and equipment		1-15 years
Vehicles		2-5 years
Leasehold improvements		5-30 years
Building		31.5 years
Production molding		5 years

 

Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.

 

Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, there was $0 and $43,800 impairment loss of its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, and ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.

 

The new standard became effective April 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date of the initial application. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits entities not to reassess under the new lease standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements.

 

The most significant effects of the adoption of the new standard relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease labilities on our balance sheet for office operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company has also elected the short-term leases recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities, for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. The Company also currently expects to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases. All existing leases are reported under this rule.

 

Under ASC 840, leases were classified as either capital or operating, and the classification significantly impacted the effect the contract had on the company’s financial statements. Capital lease classification resulted in a liability that was recorded on a company’s balance sheet, whereas operating leases did not impact the balance sheet.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method. Intangible assets represent purchased intangible assets including developed technology and in-process research and development, technologies acquired or licensed from other companies, customer relationships, non-compete covenants, backlog, and trademarks and tradenames. Purchased finite-lived intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Technologies acquired or licensed from other companies, customer relationships, non-compete covenants, backlog, and trademarks and tradenames are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the terms of the agreement, or estimated useful life. We capitalize cannabis cultivation license acquired as part of a business combination.

 

Stock based compensation

 

Stock based compensation cost to employees is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and will be recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). We estimate the fair value of employee stock options granted using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options will include the exercise price of the award, the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, the expected option term, the risk-free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility and the expected annual dividend yield on our common stock. We use our company’s own data among other information to estimate the expected price volatility and the expected forfeiture rate. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Loss per share

 

We calculate basic loss per share by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 - observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The Company used Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities in determining the fair value using the Binomial option-pricing model for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law. For deferred tax assets, management evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of such assets. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets when evidence suggests it is unlikely that the assets will be fully realized.

 

The Company recognizes the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and then only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more likely than not threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely than not threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company classifies potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as income tax expense.

 

Derivative instruments

 

The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded and shown separately under current liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations under non-operating income (expense).

 

Our Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted average Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Segment Reporting

 

FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting’’, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

 

The Company’s financial statements reflect that substantially all of its operations are conducted in two industry segments – (1) paper and paper-based products such as paper cups, cup lids, food containers, etc., which accounts for approx. 39% of the Company’s revenues as of December 31, 2021; (2) Cannabis products delivery service and sales, which accounts for approx. 61% of the Company’s total revenues as of December 31, 2021.

 

A reconciliation of the Company’s segment operating income and cost of goods sold to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

 

		Three months ended
		December 31, 2021				December 31, 2020
Segment operating income
Paper and paper-based products		$	538,815			$	300,652

Total cost of goods sold		$	848,812			$	1,272,429

 

New accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The pronouncement simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. The pronouncement also improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021 and period ended December 31, 2021.

Sugarmade, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. The guidance clarifies how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when considering observable transactions under the measurement alternative. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company have adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021 and period ended December 31, 2021.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its financial statements.

 

On March 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-03, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting Alternative for Evaluating Triggering Events” (“ASU 2021-03”). The amendments in ASU 2021-03 provide private companies and not-for-profit (NFP) entities with an accounting alternative to perform the goodwill impairment triggering event evaluation as required in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill, as of the end of the reporting period, whether the reporting period is an interim or annual period. An entity that elects this alternative is not required to monitor for goodwill impairment triggering events during the reporting period but, instead, should evaluate the facts and circumstances as of the end of each reporting period to determine whether a triggering event exists and, if so, whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The amendments in this ASU are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued as of March 30, 2021. The Company have adopted this ASU on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the year ended June 30, 2021 and period ended December 31, 2021.

 

On April 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” (“ASU 2021-04”) to clarify the accounting by issuers for modifications or exchanges of equity-classified warrants. The new ASU is available here and effective for all entities in fiscal years starting after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-04 on its financial statements.

 

On July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments”, which upon adoption requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable lease payments (that do not depend on a rate or index) as an operating lease on commencement date if classifying the lease as a sales-type or direct financing lease would result in a selling loss. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021.

 

On July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-07, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Stock Compensation” (“ASU 2021-07”) to address the concerns from stakeholders about the cost and complexity of determining the fair value of equity-classified share-based awards for private companies. It specifically permits private companies to use 409A valuations prepared under US Treasury regulations to estimate the fair value of certain awards under ASC 718. The Update is effective for private companies in fiscal years starting after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-07 on its financial statements.

 

On August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”) to require an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with revenue recognition guidance as if the acquirer had originated the contract. That is, such acquired contracts will not be measured at fair value. ASU 2021-08 is effective for privately held companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-08 on its financial statements.

4. Noncontrolling Interest and Deconsolidation of VIE

Starting in fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a variable interest entity, Indigo Dye Group, for accounting purposes. The Company owned approximately 29% of Indigo’s outstanding equity and as of September 30, 2020, involved its day-to-day operations, which gave the Company the power to direct the activities of Indigo that most significantly impact its economic performance. Accordingly, the Company recognized the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as a component of total shareholders’ equity, and the consolidated financial statements included the financial position and results of operations of Indigo as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

 

Starting on October 1, 2020, the Company planned to open new locations via purchasing equity in other Brand/Franchises to cover delivery for the entire California. Therefore, the Company is not likely at this time to exercise its option to acquire the additional 30% interest in Indigo. In addition, the Company is no longer involved in day-to-day operations of Indigo and going forward, the Company intends to pursue cannabis delivery independent from Indigo. As of October 1, 2020, the Company ceased to have control over the day-to-day business of Indigo and it was deconsolidated and recorded as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliate at its $505,449 estimated fair value and changed to equity method of accounting. Pursuant to the terms of the Indigo agreement, if the Company determines, in its discretion not to continue to make monthly payments, its 40% ownership interest in Indigo will be decreased according to the payment then made. As of December 31, 2020, the Company made $59,370 in additional payments, and holds approximately 32% of the ownership of Indigo. (See Note 6)

 

The net asset value of the Company’s variable interest in Indigo Dye Group was approximately $326,812 as of October 1, 2020, the date of deconsolidation. The value of the Company’s variable interest on the date of deconsolidation was based on management’s estimate of the fair value of Indigo at that time. The Company concluded that the market approach was the most appropriate method to determine the fair value of the entity on the date of deconsolidation, given that Indigo raised equity funding from third-party investors around the same period (i.e., level 2 inputs). The Company recognized a gain on deconsolidation of approximately $313,928 with no related tax impact, which is included in other income, net on the consolidated statement of operations. As the Company is not obligated to fund future losses of Indigo, the carrying amount is the Company’s maximum risk of loss and accounted as equity method investment in affiliates in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company recorded equity method investment in affiliates at $380,660 and $441,407, net with $60,747 and $123,412 loss from equity method investment, respectively in each case.

5. Legal Proceedings

From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. As of December 31, 2021, there were no legal claims pending or threatened against the Company that, in the opinion of our management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as of the date of this filing, we were involved in the following legal proceedings.

 

●

On December 11, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint from two convertible note holders and investors in the Company. On February 21, 2017, the Company signed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the matter of Hannan vs. Sugarmade. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the plaintiffs $227,000 to settle all claims against the Company, which included the payoff of two notes outstanding. The parties had estimated the value of the notes at approximately $80,000. As of June 30, 2020, third parties had purchased two (2) notes of approximately $80,000. As of December 31, 2021, there remains a balance, plus accrued interest on the $227,000 and on the $80,000 due under the notes.

 

There can be no assurances the ultimate liability relative to these lawsuits will not exceed what is outlined above.

 

6. Cash

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts held as bank deposits and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

From time to time, we may maintain bank balances in interest bearing accounts in excess of the $250,000 currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for interest bearing accounts (there is currently no insurance limit for deposits in noninterest bearing accounts). We have not experienced any losses with respect to cash. Management believes our Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company held cash in the amount of $63,375 and $1,396,944, included cash in hands in the amount of $50,919 and $2,026, respectively.

7. Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts, net of any estimated allowances for doubtful accounts. We grant unsecured credit to our customer’s deemed credit worthy. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses estimated by management are charged to operations on a regular basis. At the time, any particular account receivable is deemed uncollectible, the balance is charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company had accounts receivable, net of allowance, of $707,509 and $435,598 as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively; and allowance for doubtful accounts of $321,325 and $259,761 as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

8. Loans Receivable

 

Loan receivables amounted $196,000 ($196,000 current and $0 noncurrent) and $196,000 ($0 current and $196,000 noncurrent) as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Loan receivables are mainly loan to Hempistry Inc. for business use due on July 31, 2022.

 

9. Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods paper and paper-based products such as paper cups and food containers ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market. We value our inventory using the weighted average costing method. Our Company’s policy is to include as a part of inventory any freight incurred to ship the product from our contract manufacturers to our warehouses. Outbound freights costs related to shipping costs to our customers are considered period costs and reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence.

 

If the estimated realizable value of our inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated market value. On a consolidated basis, as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the balance for the inventory totaled $643,920 and $441,582, respectively. $0 was reserved for obsolescent inventory for the period ended December 31, 2021, and $0 were reserved for obsolescent inventory for the year ended June 30, 2021.

11. Intangible Asset

 

On April 1, 2017, the Company entered into a distribution and intellectual property assignment agreement with Wagner Bartosch, Inc. (“Wagner’’) for use of their Divider’™ used in frozen desserts and other related uses. In lieu of cash payment under the agreement, the Company was obliged to issue common shares of the Company valued at $75,000 for acquiring the use right of the distribution and intellectual property. The Company amortized this use right as intangible asset over ten years, and recorded $2,017 and $1,400 amortization expense for the period ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

On May 17, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between Carnaby Spot Bay Corp, a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Lemon Glow Company, a California corporation (the “Lemon Glow”) and Ryan Santiago (the “Shareholder Representative”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into Lemon Glow, with Lemon Glow being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The Company valued the cannabis cultivation license from Lemon Glow at $10,648,378 with remaining economic life of 9 years as of June 30, 2021. The intangible assets have not started to amortize as of December 31, 2021.

 

12. Goodwill

 

Goodwill arises from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair values of net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired are based upon preliminary valuations and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. There was $757,648 and $757,648 of goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

13. Property, Plant and Equipment, net

 

As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

 

Fixed Assets		December 31,  2021				June 30,  2021
Office and equipment		$	820,149			$	820,149
Motor vehicles			442,323				166,079

Building			197,609				—
Leasehold Improvement			472,654				365,620
Total			4,487,502				3,274,224
Less: accumulated depreciation			(623,122	)			(524,884	)
Property, Plant and Equipment, net		$	3,864,380			$	2,749,340

 

For the periods ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, depreciation expenses amounted to $98,238 and $105,982, respectively.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the periods ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

14. Equity Method Investments in Affiliates

 

Investment to Indigo Dye Inc.

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company accounted for its investment in Indigo Dye Group as a variable interest entity. The Company owned approximately 29% of Indigo’s outstanding equity and as of December 31, 2020, involved its day-to-day operations, which gave the Company the power to direct the activities of Indigo that most significantly impact its economic performance. Accordingly, the Company recognized the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as a component of total shareholders’ equity, and the consolidated financial statements included the financial position and results of operations of Indigo as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

 

During quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company began plans to open new locations via purchasing equity in other Brand/Franchises to cover delivery for the entire California.

On January 6, 2022, Sugarmade, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Dutchess Capital Growth Fund LP (“Dutchess”) providing for an equity financing facility (the “Equity Line”). The Purchase Agreement provides that upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the Purchase Agreement, Dutchess is committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement (the “Term”), which Term commences immediately following the initial date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement referenced below (the “Total Commitment”).

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Dutchess will not be obligated to purchase shares of common stock unless and until certain conditions are met, including but not limited to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) becoming effective which registers Dutchess’ resale of any common stock purchased by Dutchess under the Equity Line. The Purchase Agreement obligates the Company to file the Registration Statement within 45 business days of January 6, 2022; provided, however, Dutchess must be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement.

 

From time to time during the Term, the Company, in its sole discretion, may provide Dutchess with one or more drawdown notices (each, a “Drawdown Notice”), to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Drawdown Notice Shares”), subject to the limitations discussed below. The actual amount of proceeds the Company will receive pursuant to each Drawdown Notice (the “Investment Amount”) is to be determined by multiplying the number of Drawdown Notice Shares by 93% of the lowest traded price of the common stock during the five business days prior to the Closing Date. Closing Date shall mean the date that is eight business days after the Clearing Date. Clearing Date shall mean the first business day that the Dutchess holds the Drawdown Notice Shares in its brokerage account and is eligible to trade the shares.

 

The maximum number of shares of common stock to be purchased pursuant to any single Drawdown Notice cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $250,000; (ii) 200% of the average daily traded value of the Drawdown Notice Shares during the five days immediately preceding the Drawdown Notice date; or (iii) that number of shares that would cause Dutchess to beneficially own 4.99% of the number of shares of the the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Drawdown Notice Shares (the “Ownership Limit”).

 

In order to deliver a Drawdown Notice and sell Drawdown Notice Shares to Dutchess, certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement must be met, including: (a) the representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Purchase Agreement and the applicable closing date; (b) since the date of the Company’s most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), no event that had or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect has occurred; (c) the Company has no knowledge of an event it reasonably deems more likely than not to have the effect of causing the Registration Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective within 15 days following the delivery of the Drawdown Notice; and (d) the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company shall not issue any Drawdown Notice Shares if the issuance of such shares would exceed the aggregate number of shares of common stock which the Company may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules and regulations of the principal market upon which the common stock trades, or if the issuance would violate such principal market’s shareholder approval requirements or if the issuance would violate the Ownership Limit.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties. Unless earlier terminated, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier to occur of: (i) the end of the 36-month Term; (ii) the date that the Company sells and Dutchess purchases the Total Commitment amount; (iii) the date that the Registration Statement is no longer effective; or (iv) the occurrence of certain specified insolvency or bankruptcy-related events. The Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time by written notice to Dutchess in the event of a material breach of the agreement by Dutchess.

 

The Purchase Agreement also provides for mutual cross-indemnification of the parties and their affiliates in the event that either party incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses resulting from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements under the Purchase Agreement; an untrue or misleading statement or misleading omission in the Registration Statement or any preliminary or final prospectus pursuant thereto; or a violation or alleged violation of federal or state securities laws and regulations.

Item 14.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

	●	for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders;
	●	for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;
	●	under Delaware General Corporation Law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or
	●	for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

We believe that these provisions will assist us in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as executive officers and directors. The inclusion of these provisions in our Articles of Incorporation may have the effect of reducing a likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us or our shareholders.

 

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Exchange Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Exchange Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Item 17.

Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

 

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

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

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

 

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

II-6

 

 

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§ 230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§ 230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) or under the securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

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