Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Nature of the Business
MJ Holdings Inc. (OTC Pink: MJNE. the “Company”, “we”, “us”) is a publicly-traded, cannabis holding company providing cultivation management, licensing support, production management and asset and infrastructure development – currently concentrating on the Las Vegas market. It is our intention to grow our business and provide a 360-degree spectrum of infrastructure (including: cultivation, production management, dispensaries and consulting services) through: the acquisition of existing companies; joint ventures with existing companies possessing complementary expertise, and/or through the development of new opportunities. (See Note 14 - Subsequent Events for highlights of major events subsequent to September 30, 2019).
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 2018, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, that was filed with the SEC on October 16, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future periods.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company for interim reporting are consistent with those included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the interim period ended September 30, 2019.
Note 3 — Going Concern
The Company has recurring net losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $12,131,325 as of September 30, 2019. The Company incurred a net loss of $4,288,712 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $4,155,770 for the period ended September 30, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of the financial statements. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s current capital resources include cash, and inventories. Historically, the Company has financed its operations principally through debt and/or equity markets.

Note 4 — Inventory
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, inventory consisted of finished goods that amounted to $1,746,402. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine cost on the basis of the first in first out method. The Company periodically reviews inventories for obsolescence and any inventories identified as obsolete are reserved or written off.
Note 5 — Prepayments, Customer Deposits and Deposits
Management Agreement
In April of 2018, the Company entered into a management agreement with the holder of a State of Nevada cultivation license (the “Licensed Operator”), so that the Company can lawfully engage in the cultivation of marijuana for sale under the laws of the State of Nevada. The term of the agreement was for eight years, pursuant to which the Licensed Operator has engaged the Company to develop, manage and operate a licensed cultivation facility on three-acres of property owned by the Licensed Operator. In January of this year the Company terminated the existing management agreement and entered into a Cultivation and Sales Agreement, Consulting Agreement and Equipment Lease Agreement with the Licensed Operator (collectively the “Agreements”).
Upon completion of the construction of the outdoor cultivation facility, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, and receipt of the appropriate approvals from local and state authorities, the Company began cultivating marijuana in August of 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to generate sales of at least $2,000,000 per year from product cultivated from the outdoor cultivation facility. The Licensed Operator may terminate the agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Agreements, if the Company does not generate at least $2,000,000 in annual revenues. The Company may cure a breach of this provision by paying 10% of the revenue shortfall to the Licensed Operator. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Licensed Operator will: (i) retain 15% of the net revenues generated from product cultivated from the outdoor cultivation facility and (ii) pay 85% of the net revenues to the Company. Upon execution of the initial management agreement, the Company paid $300,000 to the Licensed Operator as consideration for the opportunity to construct and manage the outdoor cultivation facility on the Licensed Operator’s property. In exchange for the initial consideration, the Licensed Operator agreed not to retain 15% of the first $2 million of net revenues generated from the outdoor cultivation facility. In addition, once the outdoor facility began cultivating in August of 2018, the Company became obligated to pay the Licensed Operator $7,000 per month for compliance, security, and other administrative costs incurred by the Licensed Operator during the term of the Agreements. The Company recorded the $300,000 paid to the Licensed Operator as prepaid expenses. The balance of the prepaid expenses as of September 30, 2019 is $68,689.
In order to develop and manage the three-acre outdoor facility, the Company, in March of 2018, entered into a management services agreement with a Nevada limited liability company (the “Manager”) to provide operational oversight and cultivation management for the Company’s three-acre outdoor cultivation facility. The term of the agreement was for three years. The Manager was entitled to receive compensation equal to twelve percent of the gross yield sales from each harvest with six percent payable in the form of cash and six percent payable in the form of the Company’s common stock. In May of 2019 the Company and the Manager agreed to terminate the existing management agreement. The Company agreed to pay to the Manager total compensation equaling $318,000 upon termination of the management agreement in the form of $159,000 in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock with a value $159,000.
Deposits

In August of 2019, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement to sell forty-nine (49%) percent of Red Earth to an unrelated third party. We expect to obtain final approvals towards perfecting the cultivation license from the State of Nevada and City of Las Vegas regulatory authorities by the end of the third quarter of 2020, but we can provide no assurances on the receipt and/or timing of the final approvals.

The terms of the MIPA2 require the Company to purchase the licenses for the total sum of $1,250,000 each, $750,000 in cash and $500,000 per license in the Company’s common stock.

The terms of the MIPA2 provide for a $250,000 non-refundable down payment and include a short term note in the amount of $500,000 carrying an annual interest rate of two percent (2%) which, together with accrued interest, is due and payable on or before April 18, 2020, extended from October 18, 2019. The Company has made non-refundable deposits totaling $550,000 and has reduced the principal of the aforementioned note to $200,000. The Company is obligated to issue $1,000,000 worth of our common stock in fulfillment of our obligations in the MIPA2 and has executed a $750,000 long term note (the “LT Note”) in favor of the current license holders that becomes due and payable upon the earlier of a) six months after the transfer of the Certificates to the Company, or b) six months after the production/cultivation is declared fully operational by the applicable regulatory agencies, or c) December 312020, extended from March 10, 2020.

The Company received notice from the Las Vegas City Council on October 18, 2019 that the SUP was granted effective October 9, 2019. We immediately provided notice to the Buyer of the granting of the SUP; and, per the terms of the MIPA3 the Fund was to be established on or before November 1, 2019. As of the date of this filing of this periodic report the Buyer has not provided requested documentation that the Fund has been established and the Company does not consider the transaction closed.

The terms “MJ Holdings, Inc.,” “MJ Holdings,” “MJ,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to MJ Holdings, Inc., individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Company Background
MJ Holdings Inc. (OTC Pink: MJNE) is a highly-diversified, publicly-traded, cannabis holding company providing cultivation management, licensing support, production management, asset and infrastructure development – currently concentrating on the Las Vegas market. It is our intention to grow our business and provide a 360-degree spectrum of infrastructure (including: cultivation, production management, dispensaries and consulting services) through: the acquisition of existing companies; joint ventures with existing companies possessing complementary expertise, and/or through the development of new opportunities. We intend to “prove the concept” profitably in the rapidly expanding Las Vegas market and then use that anticipated success as a template for replicating the concept in other developing states through a combination of strategic partnerships, acquisitions and opening new operations.
The Company’s assets and operations have expanded significantly over the past year; and, the Company has raised more than $6,000,000 as of September 30, 2019 from the sale of common stock returned to the Company by our largest shareholder during the first quarter of 2019. The funds are being utilized to facilitate expansion of our cultivation footprint, the acquisition of a marijuana production license and additional cultivation license and the purchase other supporting assets.
Under the leadership of our CEO, Paris Balaouras, the Company has assembled a senior management team possessing significant experience in building, acquiring and operating high-growth, multi-division businesses in a public company setting. The Company also has retained operating level employees, directly and through strategic relationships, possessing significant experience in marijuana cultivation and production.
Current Initiatives include:
● | a three-acre, hybrid, outdoor, marijuana-cultivation facility (the “Three Acre Facility”) in the Amargosa Valley of Nevada. We have the contractual right to cultivate marijuana on this property until 2026, for which we receive eighty-five percent (85%) of the net revenues realized from our management of this facility. The Company recently completed its second harvest on that land. |
13
● | 260 acres of farmland for the purpose of cultivating additional marijuana (the “260 Acres”) purchased in January of 2019. This property, on which we intend to utilize a state-of-the-art cultivation system for growing, an additional five acres of marijuana in 2020, is contiguous to the property that we manage in Amargosa. The land also has more than 180-acre feet of permitted water rights, which will provide more than sufficient water to markedly increase the Company’s marijuana cultivation capabilities. |
● | a nearby commercial trailer and RV park (THC Park – Tiny Home Community) that can supply necessary housing for our farm employees. After our 2018 harvest, we came to realize that we would need to find a more efficient method of housing and bringing our cultivation team to our facilities. In April of 2019, we consummated the purchase of the 50-acre plus THC Park for $600,000 in cash and $50,000 of the Company’s restricted common stock (see further description of this transaction hereinbelow). |
● | a definitive agreement to acquire an additional cultivation license and production license, both currently located in Nye County Nevada. On April 2, 2019 we executed a membership interest purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests of MJ Distributing C202, LLC and MJ Distributing P133, LLC, the holders of a State of Nevada provisional cultivation license and provisional production license, respectively. The State of Nevada has placed a moratorium on the transfer of all licenses within the state, we do not know when this moratorium will be lifted. We are in negotiations with the Seller to enter into a management and operating agreement to allow us to utilize and benefit from these licenses. We have named two additional managers to the two LLC’s, both of whom are senior executives of the Company. |
● | indoor cultivation facility build-out in the City of Las Vegas (the “Indoor Facility”). Through our subsidiary, Red Earth, LLC, we hold Medical Marijuana Establishment Registration Certificate, Application No. C012. In cooperation with our joint venture partners, Element NV, LLC we expect to invest more than $3,500,000.00 in the build-out of this 17,000+ square foot state-of-the-art facility, which should be fully operational in the second quarter of 2020 (see hereinabove for additional information). We presently have approximately eight years remaining on our lease on this building with two additional five-year options, as well as an option to purchase the property for $2,607,880. |
● | a wellness hotel concept (the “Alternative Hospitality”). In November of 2018 the Company formed Alternative Hospitality, Inc., a joint venture with a successful hotel operator, is developing hotel properties with a focus on the wellness aspects of cannabis and cannabis related products. | |
● | exploration of cannabis-related opportunities in the European Union, with a particular focus on Greece - In December of 2018 we established MJ International Research Company, Ltd., headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. We have established two wholly owned subsidiaries in Greece, Gioura International Single Member Private Company for the acquisition of land and MJ Holdings International Single Member S.A. for the required licenses. |
We also continue to identify potential acquisition of revenue producing assets and licenses within legalized cannabis markets both nationally and internationally that can maximize shareholder value while providing a 360-degree spectrum of infrastructure, cultivation, production, management, dispensaries and consulting services in the regulated cannabis industry.
We may face substantial competition in the operation of cultivation facilities in Nevada. Numerous other companies have also been granted cultivation licenses, and, therefore, we anticipate that we will face competition from these other companies. Our management team has experience in successfully developing, implementing, and operating marijuana cultivation and related businesses in other legal cannabis markets. We believe our experience in cultivation and facility management will provide us with a competitive advantage over our competitors. Senior management now also includes a number of executives possessing significant experience with public companies, in mergers and acquisitions, and with raising public and private equity and debt financing.
The Company occupies the entire second floor of an approximately 10,000 sq. ft. office building, located in the City of Las Vegas. This properly was acquired in October of 2018.

Our Business
We commenced cultivation activities on our three-acre managed cultivation facility in August of 2018, harvesting two grows to-date, the most recent of which yielded more than 3,000 pounds of marijuana flower and trim with THC yields on products tested ranging from 19-27%. It is our intention to grow our business through the acquisition of existing companies and/or through the development of new opportunities that can provide a 360-degree spectrum of infrastructure (dispensaries), cultivation and production management, and consulting services in the regulated cannabis industry.
Through Red Earth, we hold a conditional State of Nevada issued cannabis cultivation license, and through HDGLV, we hold a triple-net leasehold, with an option to buy, on a 17,298 square-foot building, which we expect will be home to our indoor cultivation facility.

Red Earth, established in 2016, was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company from December 15, 2017 until August 28, 2019 when we sold a forty-nine percent (49%) interest in Red Earth to Element NV, LLC, an unrelated third party. Red Earth’s assets consist of: (i) a cultivation license to grow marijuana within the City of Las Vegas in the State of Nevada and (ii) all of the outstanding membership interests in HDGLV, which holds a triple net leasehold interest in a 17,298 square-foot building in Las Vegas, Nevada, which we expect to operate as an indoor marijuana cultivation facility. We expect to complete construction of this facility in the second quarter of 2020. |
15
In April 2018, the State of Nevada finalized and approved the transfer of the provisional cultivation license from Acres Medical, LLC, an unrelated third-party, to Red Earth. In July 2018, we completed the first phase of construction on this facility and we received a City of Las Vegas Conditional Business License to operate a marijuana cultivation facility. We expect to obtain final approvals towards perfecting the cultivation license from the State of Nevada regulatory authorities in the second quarter of 2020, but we can provide no assurances on the receipt and/or timing of the final approvals. | |
Red Earth Holdings, LLC | It is anticipated that this recently formed (June 2019) subsidiary of the Company will eventually be the holder of the Company’s primary cannabis license assets. As of the date of this report Red Earth Holdings has no operations and holds no assets. |
On July 15, 2019 our Board of Directors appointed Richard S. Groberg to be the President of the Company. Mr. Groberg replaces Paris Balaouras, who was interim President from January 1, 2019 until July 15, 2019. Mr. Balaouras will continue in his role as the Company’s CEO and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Groberg shall initially serve a three-year term effective July 15, 2019 pursuant to a written employment agreement (the “RSG Employment Agreement”) with an annual base compensation of $180,000, of which $5,000 per month shall be deferred until January 15, 2020 or such earlier date pursuant to the terms of the RSG Employment Agreement and then shall be payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock”). The Employment Agreement provides for a restricted stock award of 400,000 shares of the Company’s Stock to vest: 25% six months after the effective date of the Employment Agreement; 25% on the first anniversary after the effective date of the Employment Agreement, 25% on the second anniversary after the effective date of the Employment Agreement and 25% on the third anniversary after the effective date of the Employment Agreement.
Effective August 1, 2019 we entered into an agreement to lease an approximately 17,000 sq. ft. commercial building in Pahrump, NV. The lease is for a term of ten years at an initial monthly rent of $10,000 per month with rent increases each August 1st during the term of the lease equal to the Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor for CPI W (Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers) for Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company paid the property owner a security deposit in the amount of $20,000. While the Company took possession of the premises on August 1, 2019, the monthly rent did not commence until October 1, 2019. The Company has an option, exercisable between July 1, 2020 and July 1, 2024, to purchase the property for $1,800,000. The leasehold has previously been utilized as a fully-licensed, State of Nevada approved marijuana cultivation facility; and, it is the Company’s intention to move our marijuana processing license into this facility upon receipt of all required regulatory approvals – anticipated in the first quarter of 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Due to resource constraints, material weaknesses are evident to management regarding our inability to generate all the necessary disclosure for inclusion in our filings with the Securities and Exchanges Commission, which is due to the lack of resources and segregation of duties. We lack sufficient personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in GAAP to meet the demands for a public company, including the accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of GAAP-based reporting. This weakness causes us to not fully identify and resolve accounting and disclosure issues that could lead to a failure to perform timely internal control and reviews. In addition, the Company has not established an audit committee, does not have any independent outside directors on the Company’s Board of Directors, and lacks documentation of its internal control processes.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change to our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during the period ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, our Board is currently seeking to improve our controls and procedures to remediate the deficiency described above.
20
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. I addition to the estimated loss, the liability includes probable and estimable legal cost associated with the claim or potential claim. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company business. There is no pending litigation involving the Company at this time.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
