CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under, but not limited to, the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in the Annual Report of Generation Hemp, Inc. (the “Company”) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”) and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Forward-looking statements may include statements about:

 

  the risk that our results could be adversely affected by natural disaster, public health crises (including, without limitation, the COVID-19, outbreak), political crises, negative global climate patterns, or other catastrophic events;

 

  the marketability of our products;

 

  financial condition and liquidity of our customers;

 

  competition in the hemp markets;

 

  industry and market conditions;

 

  requisition of our services by major customers and our ability to renew processing and services contracts;

 

  credit and performance risks associated with customers, suppliers, banks and other financial counterparties;

 

  availability, timing of delivery and costs of key supplies, capital equipment or commodities;

 

  our future capital requirements and our ability to raise additional capital to finance our activities;

 

  the future trading of our common stock;

 

  legal and regulatory risks associated with OTC Markets;

 

  our ability to operate as a public company;

 

  our ability to protect our proprietary information;

 

  general economic and business conditions; the volatility of our operating results and financial condition;

 

  our ability to attract or retain qualified senior management personnel and research and development staff;

 

  timing for completion of major acquisitions or capital projects;

  

  our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if required, to complete acquisitions as currently contemplated or to fund the operations and growth of our business;

 

  operating or other expenses or changes in the timing thereof;

 

  compliance with stringent laws and regulations, as well as changes in the regulatory environment, the adoption of new or revised laws, regulations and permitting requirements, especially with respect to the industry in which we operate;

 

  potential legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries against us; and

 

  other risks identified in this report that are not historical.

 

ii

  

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, including risks specific to the industry in which we operate. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

 

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement and speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

 

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.

Generation Hemp, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Business

 

Generation Hemp, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Home Treasure Finders, Inc. (“HTF”), was incorporated on August 21, 2021 in the State of Delaware. The Company was originally incorporated on July 28, 2008 in the State of Colorado. On November 27, 2019, HTF purchased approximately 94% of the common stock of Energy Hunter Resources, Inc. (“EHR”) in a series of transactions accounted for as a reverse merger (the “Transaction”). Upon closing of the Transaction, HTF changed its name to Generation Hemp, Inc.

 

On January 11, 2021, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Halcyon Thruput, LLC (“Halcyon”). With this acquisition, we commenced providing post-harvest and midstream services to growers by drying, processing, cleaning and stripping harvested hemp directly from the field and wetbaled at our 48,000 square foot leased facility located in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Additionally, the Company offers safe storage services for processed hemp, which enables farmers to maximize strategic market timing. In August 2021, the Company launched its small animal bedding consumer goods product line (“Rowdy Rooster”) made from the hemp hurd byproduct that is produced from its hemp processing operations.

 

We also generate revenue from rental of our “Cannabis Zoned” (Hemp) warehouse property located in Denver, Colorado currently leased to an unaffiliated hemp seed company.

 

As of September 30, 2021, EHR held an approximate 8% working interest in an oil & gas property located in Cochran County, Texas within the Slaughter-Levelland Field of the San Andres formation in the Northwest Shelf of West Texas. EHR’s oil & gas activities are currently held for sale and are presented in these consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for each of the periods presented.

 

Our management team has been and continues to actively review acquisition candidates involved in the hemp industry that operate within a number of vertical businesses, predominantly within the midstream sector that are attractive to us and are within the hemp supply chain.

 

Liquidity – The Company is dependent upon obtaining additional funding to continue ongoing operations and to pursue its strategy and execute its acquisition plans.

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company used $2.7 million of cash for its operating activities. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s current liabilities, including financing obligations due within one year, totaled $4.7 million as compared with its current assets of $276 thousand. Cash payments under several financing obligations were initially due in September and October of 2021. As disclosed in Notes 5 and 6 below, these were subsequently amended to extend these payments by one to six months.

 

The Company will continue to pursue additional capital raising opportunities in order to fund future acquisitions and meet its obligations as they become due. In the event financing cannot be obtained, the Company may not be able to satisfy these plans and obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business – Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in mid-March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to contain it have subjected our business, results of operations, financial condition, stock price and liquidity to a number of material risks and uncertainties, all of which may continue or may worsen.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation – These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the financial position as of, and the results of operations for, all periods presented. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes to conform them to the current period presentation. Intercompany balances and transactions between consolidated entities are eliminated.

Revenue Recognition – Post-harvest and midstream services revenue is typically determined based on volumes processed at agreed-upon contractual prices and is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied. This occurs when control of the product is transferred to our customers upon completion of our processing.

 

Rental revenue is recognized based on the contractual cash rental payments for the period. Oil & gas revenue is recognized for discontinued operations based on delivered quantities in the amount of the consideration to which the Company is entitled.

 

Stock-based Compensation – We account for employee stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Compensation cost for equity incentive awards is based on the fair value of the equity instrument generally on the date of grant and is recognized over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

 

Fair Value Measurement – Our financial assets and liabilities consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts at each reporting date.

 

The Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on non-recurring basis include impairment measurements of oil and gas properties and warrants issued as part of financing transactions. These are considered Level 3 measurements as they involve significant unobservable inputs.

 

Major Customer and Concentration of Credit Risk – We estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of specific customers, taking into consideration the age of past due accounts and an assessment of the customer’s ability to pay. An allowance for doubtful accounts was not needed as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, one customer accounted for approximately 99% and 90% of our post-harvest and midstream services revenue, respectively. Amounts outstanding from this customer represented 99% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2021.

 

Our rental revenue is derived from a single lessee on a commercial warehouse owned by the Company. There were no amounts due from this customer at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2020-06 in 2021. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on its financial statements at the date of adoption but is applicable to newly issued instruments.

 

There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisition

 

On January 11, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Halcyon pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 7, 2020, as amended on January 11, 2021. The purchase consideration totaled approximately $6.1 million consisting of 6,250,000 shares of Company common stock valued at $2.5 million (valued at $0.40 per share; restricted from trading for a period of up to one year), $1.75 million in cash, a promissory note for $850,000 issued by the Company’s subsidiary, GenH Halcyon Acquisition, LLC, and guaranteed by Gary C. Evans, CEO of the Company, and assumption of approximately $1.0 million of new indebtedness of Halcyon. The Company was granted an option to purchase the real estate occupied by Halcyon for $993,000. This option is exercisable at any time before its expiration on January 11, 2022.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination where the Company is the acquirer and the acquisition method of accounting was applied in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the aggregate value of the consideration we paid to complete the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.

 

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for the assets acquired. This allocation is preliminary. In the third quarter of 2021, we made adjustments to the previously recognized amounts for inventory, intangibles, goodwill and the real estate purchase option based on the preliminary results of a valuation study. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined at a later date and is dependent on a number of factors, including the final evaluation of the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Final adjustments, including increases and decreases to depreciation and amortization resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to amortizable tangible and intangible assets, may be material.

 

Accounts receivable   $ 75,470  
Other working capital     224,530  
Property and equipment, other     1,712,170  
Intangibles:        
Non-competition agreements     64,691  
Customer relationships     3,102,052  
Other assets - Purchase option on real estate     407,000  
Goodwill     509,701  
Assets acquired   $ 6,095,614  

 

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships and non-compete agreements, each having definite-lives. These intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful life on an accelerated basis reflecting the anticipated future cash flows of the Company post acquisition of Halcyon.

 

The results of operations for the acquired Halcyon assets have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the January 11, 2021 acquisition date.

 

Concurrent with the closing of the asset acquisition, the Company entered into term employment agreements with two executives to serve as vice presidents of the Company for a term of at least two years. The term employment agreements each provide for the issuance of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company as a signing bonus. Such shares are subject to restrictions on the trading or transfer of such common stock.

 

Further, the term employment agreements each provide for the payment by the executives of liquidated damages if the employee terminates his employment without good reason during the initial term, other than due to the employee’s death or disability. Such liquidated damages total $600,000 if such termination occurs on or prior to January 11, 2022 or $375,000 if such termination occurs after January 11, 2022 and prior to January 11, 2023.

 

On March 3, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding principal and interest balance on the $850,000 promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition.

 

Supplemental Pro Forma Information – The supplemental pro forma financial information presented below is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the acquisition of certain assets of Halcyon had been completed on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position. The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

The supplemental pro forma financial information reflects pro forma adjustments to present the combined pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020, to give effect to certain events that management believes to be directly attributable to the acquisition. These pro forma adjustments primarily include:

 

  an increase to depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized due to acquired tangible and intangible assets; and

 

  an adjustment to interest expense to reflect the reduced borrowings due to the repayment of Halcyon’s historical debt in conjunction with the acquisition;

In October 2021, the mortgage payable was amended to a new maturity date of January 15, 2022. The Company will pay an extension fee of $1,000 each month beginning November 15, 2021. The new monthly payment of the note is $5,500 including interest at an effective rate of approximately 13%.

 

The Company leases the Denver warehouse property to a tenant under an operating lease which was renewed with a new tenant and extended to August 1, 2023 for a monthly rent of $7,500. The lease requires a true-up with the tenant for property taxes and insurance paid by the Company and requires the tenant to maintain the interior and exterior of the warehouse (except for the roof). The lease provides for a rent abatement in the first and last month of the contracted extension. Minimum future rents for the remainder of 2021 are $22,500, for 2022 are $90,000 and for 2023 are $52,500.

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan – Congress created the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) to provide forgivable loans to eligible small businesses facing economic hardship to retain U.S. employees on their payroll during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic.

 

PPP loan recipients may be eligible to have their loans forgiven if the funds were used for eligible expenses over the eight-week coverage period commencing when the loan was originally disbursed. The amount of forgiveness may be reduced if the percentage of eligible expenses attributed to nonpayroll expenses exceeds 25% of the loan, if employee headcount decreases, or compensation decreases by more than 25% for each employee making less than $100,000 per year, unless the reduced headcount or compensation levels are restored.

 

On April 29, 2020, we received disbursement of an approved PPP loan in the amount of $25,200. The Company received notice from the SBA that the PPP Loan principal and interest thereon was fully forgiven on April 20, 2021.

 

7. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Leases – The Company assumed Halcyon’s lease of office space in Fort Worth, Texas for managerial offices. This lease requires monthly payments of $2,000 and is month-to-month. Lease expense for this facility totaled $6,000 and $16,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

 

The Company leases its operating facility in Kentucky from Oz Capital, LLC, a related party, under a lease expiring May 31, 2024. The lease provides for monthly payments of $10,249. Oz Capital, LLC is responsible for all taxes and maintenance under the lease. Lease expense for this facility totaled $30,747 and $88,604 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. A right-of-use asset and lease liability is recorded for this lease.

 

10

 

The right-of-use asset represent the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. A right-of-use asset and lease liabilities were recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate of 10% in determining the present value of the lease payments.

 

Pending Insurance Claim – In 2019, drying equipment that Halcyon purchased from a third party was being placed into service when a fire loss subsequently occurred and destroyed the equipment causing significant business interruption. The cost of this drying equipment totaled $1.1 million. In 2020, Halcyon received, as partial payment, insurance proceeds of $595,000 from its insurance carrier. The Company has made a formal claim against the insurance carrier and is pursuing all available options to recover the unpaid amounts.

 

Litigation – From time to time, we are subject to various litigation and other claims in the normal course of business. Below is a discussion of specific matters. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

 

JDONE, LLC v. Grand Traverse Holdings, LLC and John Gallegos, Denver District Court Case No. 2019CV33723

 

JDONE, LLC (“JDONE”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and landlord of a commercial warehouse building that was leased to Grand Traverse Holdings, LLC on December 31, 2018 for a term of 61 months, with a personal guaranty from Defendant, John Gallegos. On April 12, 2019, Grand Traverse presented JDONE with an alleged forged, signed copy of the draft early termination amendment that JDONE had previously rejected. JDONE has suffered damages due to Defendant’s alleged misconduct of approximately $823,504 plus interest and attorney’s fees exceeding $300,000. A court ordered mediation was held in May 2020 without success. All material defendant motions have been denied by the court. The case is set for jury trial in January 2022. We believe that Grand Traverse Holdings, LLC and John Gallegos are jointly liable for the asserted damages which exceed $1 million and continue to vigorously pursue our claims.

 

KBSIII Tower at Lake Carolyn, LLC and Prime US-Tower at Lake Carolyn, LLC (collectively – “KBSIII”) vs. Energy Hunter Resources, Inc.

 

Plaintiff/Counterdefendant KBSIII was seeking lost rent on office space for periods after EHR vacated office premises located in Las Colinas, Texas. EHR filed a counter suit alleging specific damages due to uninhabitable premises of the office space due to the intolerable conduct of other tenants located on the same floor. On December 23, 2020, the trial court entered a summary judgment against EHR for $230,712. The judgment provides for post-judgment interest at a rate of 5% per annum until paid and further provides for additional amounts owed should EHR pursue unsuccessful appeals to higher courts. At September 30, 2021, the Company had accrued $252,583 for this judgment, which is exclusively an EHR obligation.

  

8. Equity

 

Change of Corporate Domicile – On August 21, 2021, the Company changed its domicile from the State of Colorado to the State of Delaware. The change of domicile had no effect on the number of outstanding securities of the Company. The Company is authorized for 200 million shares of capital stock, par value $0.00001 per share and 20 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

 

Series A Preferred Stock – On September 8, 2021, holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock elected to convert such shares into shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, 6,328,948 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 75,947,376 shares of common stock, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock converting into 12 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to the applicable Certificate of Designations. The Series A Preferred Stock was originally issued in connection with the Company’s merger transaction completed in December 2019.

 

Series B Preferred Stock Units – On December 30, 2020, the Company sold to certain accredited investors, including Gary C. Evans, our Chief Executive Officer, an aggregate of 135 preferred stock units comprised of (i) one share of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value, and (ii) one warrant exercisable for 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company until December 30, 2022 at an exercise price of $0.352 per share.

 

The sale of the preferred stock units for $10,000 each resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.35 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Substantially all of the proceeds raised in the offering were used to fund the acquisition of assets of Halcyon, expenses related thereto and for general corporate purposes.

 

11

 

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 25,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends of 6.00% per annum based on the stated value equal to $10,000 per share. Except as otherwise required by law, the Series B Preferred Stock does not have voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B Preferred Stock, (b) alter or amend the related certificate of designation, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, (d) repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its common stock, (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing, or (f) pay cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company other than pursuant to the terms of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock does not have a preference upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

 

Beginning the later of June 30, 2021 or the effectiveness of any registration statement registering the underlying common shares, all or any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock may be converted, at their holder’s option, into 25,000 shares of common stock, as adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, combinations or similar events.

 

At any time after the occurrence of a “Qualifying Event,” the Company, upon 5-day written notice, shall have the right to cause each share of Series B Preferred Stock (and all accrued in-kind dividends with respect thereto) to be converted into common stock. For purposes of this automatic conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, a “Qualifying Event” shall have occurred if (A) (1) the rolling five-trading day volume-weighted average trading price of shares of the common stock exceeds $1.00, and (2) there shall be an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended covering all of the shares of common stock which would be issuable upon conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock or (B) the Company closes a firm commitment underwriting of the common stock on a Form S-1 Registration Statement with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 at a price per share equal to or greater than $1.00. In each instance, a conversion may not be made unless the Company has filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation effecting an increase in its authorized common stock so that the Company has a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock so as to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company for its stated value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, at any time. Initially, redemption payments of 12.5% each of the total amount of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding plus accrued dividends were due from the Company to each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock at the end of each calendar quarter of 2021. The first required redemption payments totaling $137,500 were made in April 2021.

 

In May, June and October of 2021, the three holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, including the Company’s chief executive officer, entered into transactions in which they accepted the mandatory redemption payment required pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock certificate of designation in a number of Series B Units to effectively waive the redemption requirement. All other terms of the Series B Units remain unchanged and the holders’ ownership interest in the Series B Preferred Units remains the same as it was before such transactions.

 

Common Stock – At September 30, 2021, the Company had 111,070,329 common shares outstanding. Following is a discussion of common stock issuances during the periods presented:

 

  February 2020 Issuance of Common Stock Units – In February 2020, the Company issued 250,000 common units for $100,000. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant for purchase of one common share for $0.40 per share. The warrant expires March 1, 2022 and contains certain anti-dilution provisions requiring a downward adjustment to the exercise price of the warrant if dilutive instruments are issued at prices less than the warrant exercise price. Proceeds of this issuance were used for general corporate purposes.

 

The common stock issued in the exchange was valued using the trading price of the common stock on February 20, 2020. The warrants were valued at $45,848 using a binomial lattice valuation model using inputs as of the exchange date. Our expected volatility assumption was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock (252%). The expected life assumption was based on the expiration date of the warrant (two years). The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement (1.39%). The warrants are classified within equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Under GAAP, the anti-dilution provisions will be accounted for if and when these provisions are triggered.

 

12

 

  Acquisition of Certain Assets of Halcyon – the Company issued 6,250,000 shares of common stock valued at $2.5 million (valued at $0.40 per share; restricted from trading for a period of up to one year) in the acquisition. Refer to Note 3.

 

  2021 First Quarter Issuances of Common Stock Units – In the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 800,000 common stock units for total proceeds of $400,000. Each common stock unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant for the purchase of two shares of common stock for $0.50 each. Each warrant is exercisable any time before its expiration on the second anniversary of its issuance. The Company allocated the total proceeds based on the relative fair values of the common stock and warrants. The fair value of the warrants was determined using an options valuation model with key assumptions including a risk-free interest rate of 0.11% and historical volatility of 272%. A total of $263,293 was allocated to the warrants and reported in additional paid-in capital.  

 

  Warrant Exercises – In the first quarter of 2021, the Company received $2,967,000 for the exercise of 8,428,976 outstanding warrants.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

 

We award restricted stock or stock options as incentive compensation to employees. Generally, these awards include vesting periods of up to three years from the date of grant.

 

The 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”) was adopted by our Board on July 1, 2021. The 2021 Plan provides for the initial reservation of 15 million shares of common stock for issuance, and provides that the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs is 15 million. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan constituted approximately 13.1% of the Company’s fully diluted common shares outstanding as of the date of Board approval, including shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred shares, as calculated on an as-converted basis. On the one-year anniversary date of the 2021 Plan, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder shall automatically increase to 20% of the fully diluted common shares outstanding, including shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred shares, as calculated on an as-converted basis.

 

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 500,000 restricted shares valued at $158,500 as incentive compensation to two executives who joined the Company. Compensation expense related to these awards totaled $38,750 and $119,750 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, there was $38,750 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three months.

 

On April 6, 2021, the Company announced that Chad Burkhardt has joined the Company as its Vice President and General Counsel, effective April 1, 2021. In addition to his annual salary, the Company agreed to make a future grant to Mr. Burkhardt of $750,000 worth of options for the purchase of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Such options will vest annually in equal installments over a three-year period from his date of hire.

 

10. Income Taxes

 

Income tax provisions for interim quarterly periods are generally based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items related specifically to interim periods. An income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020 was not recognized because tax losses incurred were fully offset by a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. There were no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2021.

The computation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and outstanding convertible notes and exercise of common stock warrants in periods when we report a loss. The dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of outstanding warrants was calculated using the treasury stock method.

 

13. Subsequent Events

 

In October 2021, the Company issued 416,667 common stock units to an accredited investor for total proceeds of $250,000. Each common stock unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock for $0.60 each. Each warrant is exercisable any time before its expiration on the second anniversary of its issuance.

 

As disclosed in Note 5 above, (i) we amended the subordinated note to our CEO in the amount of $490,000 to a new maturity date of January 31, 2022, (ii) we amended the secured promissory note to Coventry Asset Management, LTD. to a new maturity date of January 31, 2022 with an earlier maturity date of December 31, 2021 in the event of a new equity capital raise is completed and granted the holder a limited option to convert part of the principal to common stock and (iii) we amended the subordinated promissory note with an investor to a new maturity date of March 31, 2022 with an earlier maturity date of December 31, 2021 in the event of a new equity capital raise is completed.

 

In October 2021, our CEO made advances totaling $15,000 to the Company. The existing convertible promissory note was amended and restated to a new balance of $635,000. The interest rate of 10% per annum and maturity date of January 1, 2022 were unchanged.

 

As disclosed in Note 6 above, the mortgage payable was amended to a new maturity date of January 15, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as well as the financial statements and related notes appearing therein and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. We caution you that our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, particularly in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in our Annual Report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.

  

Overview

 

We are a holding company active within the “hemp” space. We were incorporated on August 21, 2021 in the State of Delaware. The Company was originally incorporated on July 28, 2008 in the State of Colorado. On November 27, 2019, we purchased approximately 94% of the common stock of Energy Hunter Resources, Inc. (“EHR”) in a series of transactions accounted for as a reverse merger (the “Transaction”). Upon closing of the Transaction, we changed our name to Generation Hemp, Inc.

 

There is limited historical financial information about our Company upon which to base an evaluation of our future performance. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in the hemp business. We are subject to the risks associated with the regulatory environment in the industry in which we operate. In addition, we are subject to risks inherent in a small company, including limited capital resources, delays and cost overruns due to price and cost increases. There is no assurance that future financing will be available to our Company on acceptable terms. Additional equity financing could result in dilution to existing shareholders.

 

On January 11, 2021, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Halcyon Thruput, LLC (“Halcyon”). With this acquisition, we commenced providing post-harvest and midstream services to growers by drying, processing, cleaning and stripping harvested hemp directly from the field and wetbaled at our 48,000 square foot facility located in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Additionally, the Company offers safe storage services for processed hemp, which enables farmers to maximize strategic market timing. In August 2021, the Company launched its animal bedding consumer goods product line made from the hemp hurd byproduct that is produced from its hemp processing operations.

 

In 2020, Halcyon had revenues of $3.0 million for the processing of approximately 8.5 million pounds of hemp biomass. With additional contracts executed in 2021, we expect to process at least 10 million pounds during the remainder of 2021 and the first six months of 2022.

 

We also generate revenue from rental of our “Cannabis Zoned” (Hemp) warehouse property located in Denver, Colorado currently leased to a hemp seed company.

 

As of September 30, 2021, EHR held an approximate 8% working interest in an oil & gas property located in Cochran County, Texas within the Slaughter-Levelland Field of the San Andres formation in the Northwest Shelf of West Texas. EHR’s oil & gas activities are currently held for sale and are presented in these consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for each of the periods presented.

 

Liquidity – The Company is dependent upon obtaining additional funding to continue ongoing operations and to pursue its strategy and execute its acquisition plans.

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company used $2.7 million of cash for its operating activities. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s current liabilities, including financing obligations due within one year, totaled $4.7 million as compared with its current assets of $276 thousand. Cash payments under several financing obligations were initially due in September and October of 2021. These were subsequently amended to extend these payments by one to six months.

 

The Company will continue to pursue additional capital raising opportunities in order to fund future acquisitions and meet its obligations as they become due. In the event financing cannot be obtained, the Company may not be able to satisfy these plans and obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business – Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in mid-March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to contain it have subjected our business, results of operations, financial condition, stock price and liquidity to a number of material risks and uncertainties, all of which may continue or may worsen.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

 

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $1.4 million as compared with a net loss of $179 thousand for the same period of 2020. We completed the acquisition of Halcyon in January 2021. The first part of each calendar year is typically a slower period for midstream operations within the hemp industry until the annual harvest begins in late-summer. We had $487 thousand of revenue for post-harvest and midstream services in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of revenue was $280 thousand during this same period resulting in a gross margin of 43%. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 includes $316 thousand for depreciation and amortization as compared with $16 thousand in the 2020 period due to the Halcyon acquisition. General and administrative expenses were higher by approximately $1.0 million because of corporate staffing additions made this year and higher legal and professional fees incurred.

 

The Company reports its oil & gas activities as discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations was $2 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with a loss of $8 thousand in the 2020 period. Results of operations for the Company’s remaining oil & gas activities have been significantly reduced due to downturns in oil & gas pricing and production and disposals of property interests.

 

Revenue. Revenue from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $502 thousand as compared with $22 thousand for the same period of 2020. Post-harvest and midstream services commenced regular operations for new and renewed customer contracts executed in the third quarter of 2021. Rental revenue totaled $15 thousand in the 2021 period as compared with $22 thousand in the 2020 period. The lease of the Company’s Denver warehouse was recently extended with a new tenant to August 1, 2023 for $7.5 thousand per month.

 

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $280 thousand and consisted of direct labor, supplies and overhead for the Company’s post-harvest and midstream services operations. The gross margin on revenue was 43% for the third quarter of 2021.

 

Merger and Acquisition Costs. We incurred $7 thousand of costs for evaluating acquisition opportunities during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The amount of future expenses of this type that we incur will depend upon our future acquisition activities.

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with $109 thousand in 2020 period. The increase in general and administrative expense in the 2021 period is principally due to corporate staffing additions made this year and higher legal and professional fees incurred. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company paid $189 thousand for legal fees and $33 thousand of interest in settlement of arbitration with a law firm. General and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2021 also includes $39 thousand of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $316 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with $16 thousand for the same period of 2020. The increase in the 2021 period is due to completion of the Halcyon acquisition including $201 thousand for amortization of acquired intangible assets. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired in the Halcyon acquisition is preliminary. Final adjustments, including increases and decreases to depreciation and amortization resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to amortizable tangible and intangible assets, may be material.

 

Other Income/Expense. Total other expense was $156 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with $67 thousand for the comparable 2020 period. The largest item of total other expense is interest expense which has increased due to having higher levels of indebtedness. Interest expense for the 2021 period includes $34 thousand of amortization of debt discounts and $33 thousand of interest for the arbitration settlement discussed above.

 

Loss from Discontinued Operations. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $8 thousand as compared with a loss of $2 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The major classes of line items constituting the loss on discontinued operations are presented in Item I, “Financial Statements – Note 4 – Discontinued Operations.” Until we fully dispose of our remaining oil & gas property interests, we expect lower future revenues and costs as production activities have declined substantially. We do not anticipate making future investment of growth capital into these properties.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

 

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $4.4 million as compared with a net loss of $1.2 million for the same period of 2020. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes $1.0 million for depreciation and amortization as compared with $55 thousand in the 2020 period principally due to the Halcyon acquisition. Our remaining operating expenses were higher by approximately $2.3 million because of the Halcyon acquisition, other corporate staffing additions made this year, the payment of bonus compensation in the first quarter of 2021 and the arbitration settlement discussed above.

 

The Company reports its oil & gas activities as discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations was $11 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with a loss of $5 thousand in the 2020 period.

 

Revenue. Revenue from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2021 includes post-harvest and midstream services revenue of $535 thousand. Post-harvest and midstream services commenced regular operations for new and renewed customer contracts executed in the third quarter of 2021. These revenues are typically limited due during the first half of each year until harvest. Rental revenue was $60 thousand in the 2021 as compared with $68 thousand in the 2020 period. The lease of the Company’s Denver warehouse was recently extended with a new tenant to August 1, 2023 for $7.5 thousand per month.

 

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the first nine months of 2021 was $550 thousand and consisted of direct labor, supplies and overhead for the Company’s post-harvest and midstream services operations. We operated with limited staffing until harvest.

 

Merger and Acquisition Costs. We incurred $16 thousand and $100 thousand of costs for evaluating acquisition opportunities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These costs principally related to the Halcyon acquisition. The amount of future expenses of this type that we incur will depend upon our future acquisition activities.

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses totaled $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with $884 thousand in 2020 period. The increase in general and administrative expense in the 2021 period is principally due the Halcyon acquisition, other corporate staffing additions made this year and the payment of bonus compensation in the first quarter of 2021. Bonus compensation totaling $600 thousand was paid to our CEO for successful completion of the Halcyon acquisition. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company paid $189 thousand for legal fees and $33 thousand of interest in settlement of the arbitration with Jones & Keller, P.C. General and administrative expense for the 2021 period also includes $120 thousand of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $1.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with $55 thousand for the same period of 2020. The increase in the 2021 period is due to completion of the Halcyon acquisition including $693 thousand for amortization of acquired intangible assets. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired in the Halcyon acquisition is preliminary. Final adjustments, including increases and decreases to depreciation and amortization resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to amortizable tangible and intangible assets, may be material.

 

Other Income/Expense. Total other expense was $615 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with $220 thousand for the comparable 2020 period. The largest item of total other expense is interest expense which has increased due to having higher levels of indebtedness. Interest expense for the 2021 period includes $380 thousand of amortization of debt discounts and $33 thousand of interest for the arbitration settlement discussed above.

 

In the first quarter of 2021, we sold our investment in the common stock we held for total proceeds of $35 thousand. This publicly traded security was marked to market each fiscal quarter until its eventual sale.

 

We received notice from the SBA that the Company’s PPP Loan principal and interest thereon was fully forgiven on April 20, 2021. As such, we recognized forgiveness income of $25,424 in the second quarter of 2021.

Loss from Discontinued Operations. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $5 thousand as compared with a loss of $11 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The major classes of line items constituting the loss on discontinued operations is presented in Item I, “Financial Statements – Note 4 – Discontinued Operations.” Until we fully dispose of our remaining oil & gas property interests, we expect lower future revenues and costs as production activities have declined substantially. We do not anticipate making future investment of growth capital into these properties.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary source of cash from continuing operations includes post-harvest and midstream services and rental revenue. Our primary uses of cash include our operating costs, general and administrative expenses and merger and acquisition expenses.

 

Cash flow information from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2021 was as follows:

 

  Cash used in operating activities was $2.7 million principally due to the net loss adjusted for non-cash items.

 

  Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.6 million including an expenditure of $1.5 million for the cash portion of the total consideration for the Halcyon acquisition and proceeds from the sale of our investment in common stock of $35 thousand. We made capital expenditures totaling $78 thousand for new processing equipment to expand our business lines to include post-processing of biomass.

 

  Net cash from financing activities totaled $1.6 million. This amount included $3.3 million of cash inflows from the issuance of common stock units and proceeds from warrant exercises. We used $2.1 million of cash for repayment of outstanding indebtedness and $154 thousand for payment of scheduled redemptions and dividends on the Series B preferred stock. In the third quarter of 2021, our CEO advanced $620 thousand under a convertible promissory note.

 

We had no cash flows from discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2021.

 

Funding Requirements

 

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses may increase substantially as we grow our hemp business.

 

We expect that we will require additional capital to fund operations, including hiring additional employees, completing acquisitions and funding capital expenditures during the next twelve-month period.

 

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our business, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

  our success in identifying and making acquisitions of profitable operations;

 

  our ability to negotiate operating contracts with growers and others within the hemp industry on favorable terms, if at all;

 

  deriving revenue from our assets and operations; and

 

  the cost of such operations and costs of being a public company.

 

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our growth plans and future commercialization efforts.

Re: In reference to that certain Secured Promissory Note Issued by Halcyon Thruput, LLC, dated December 30, 2020 (the “Note”).

To Coventry Asset Management, Ltd. (“Coventry”), this letter agreement (the “Agreement”) is being issued by Generation Hemp, Inc. (the “Company”) to amend certain terms and conditions of the Note referenced above. All terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note.

 

All principal payments shall be suspended until the Maturity Date of the Note. The Maturity Date of the Note shall be amended to reflect that it is December 31, 2021; provided however that if the Company successfully completes a public equity offering equal to or in excess of $10,000,000 (the “Offering”) prior to such date, then the Company will pay all outstanding principal and interest payments due under the Note within five business days of the closing of such offering. In addition, if the Company does not complete and close a public equity offering prior to December 31, 2021, the Maturity Date shall be extended to January 31, 2022.

 

In consideration of such modifications to the Note, the Company agrees to issue to Coventry 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares will be unregistered restricted securities and shall be subject to the restrictions placed on such shares through both Blue-Sky Laws of the applicable states and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable laws and regulatory authorities.

 

Additionally, during a period of fourteen days following the execution of this letter agreement modifying the Note, Coventry has the exclusive option to elect to convert $250,000 of the outstanding principal balance under the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share.

 

Except as modified by this Agreement, all other terms of the Note shall remain in full force and effect.

Exhibit 10.8

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

Dated November 11, 2021

 

Principal Amount $525,967.36

 

FOR VALUE, Generation Hemp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), whose mailing address is P.O. Box 540308, Dallas, Texas 75354, promises and agrees to pay to the order of Gary C. Evans, a Texas resident (“Lender”), whose address is 8533 Midway Road, Dallas, Texas 75209, or at such other location as the holder of this Amended and Restated Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Note”), originally issued on November 20, 2020 (the “Original Note”), may designate by written notice to Borrower, the sum of five hundred twenty-five thousand nine hundred sixty-seven dollars and thirty-six cents ($525,967.36) in the lawful currency of the United States with interest at a rate of 10 % per annum, but in no event higher than the Highest Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined). This Note amends and restates the Original Note and all amendments, allonges and modifications thereto, in its collective entirety.

 

“Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted by applicable federal or Texas law from time to time.

 

Interest on this Note shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed and on the basis of a year consisting of 365 days, and a month consisting of 30 days, unless the Highest Lawful Rate would thereby be exceeded, in which event, to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding the Highest Lawful Rate, interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable calendar year in which accrued. It is understood that interest will begin to accrue on the date of each principal amount advanced as outlined on Exhibit “A.”

 

The principal amount of this Note and all accrued, unpaid interest thereon is due and payable in full on the 31st day of December, 2021 (the “Payment Date”). This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time prior to the payment date stated in the preceding sentence without penalty as to principal, and any partial payments shall be applied to the principal due on this Note in inverse order of maturity with interest being adjusted accordingly.

 

If one of the following events occurs, Maker shall be in default (“Default”) and this Note shall, at Lender’s option, become immediately due and payable without demand or notice:

 

(i) the failure of Borrower to pay the principal and any accrued interest in full on or before the Payment Date;

 

(ii) the filing of bankruptcy proceedings involving the Borrower as a debtor;

 

(iii) the making of a general assignment for the benefit of the Borrower’s creditors; or the uncured breach by Borrower under any of the security documents executed in conformity with this Note, which remains uncured following any applicable cure period.

 

If any payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal holiday, then payment will be due on the next business day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation or payment of interest hereunder. All past due principal and interest on this Note shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate.

 

 

 

To the extent that waiver of notice is permitted by applicable law, the Borrower and any and all co-makers, endorsers, guarantors, and sureties jointly and severally waive notice (including, but not limited to, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration), demand, presentment for payment, protest and the filing of suit for the purpose of fixing liability and consent that the time of payment hereof may be extended and re-extended from time to time without notice to them or any of them, and each agree that his, her, or its liability on or with respect to this Note shall not be affected by any release of or change in any security at any time existing or by any failure to perfect or to maintain perfection of any lien on or security interest in any such security.

 

This Note has been executed and delivered in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America from time to time in effect without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof, and shall be enforceable in Dallas County, Texas.

 

Regardless of any provision contained in this Note, the Payee shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Note, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law and, in the event Payee ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note; and, if the principal balance of this Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, Maker and Payee shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (ii) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Note so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term.

 

This Promissory Note is intended to be an obligation of Borrower and, by the execution of this Promissory Note, Borrower agrees that Borrower shall not be entitled to sell, transfer, assign, or convey in any manner whatsoever, this Promissory Note and Borrower shall remain obligated under this Promissory Note until the obligation set forth herein is paid in full.

 

If this Note is placed in the hands of any attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceedings at law or in equity or in bankruptcy, receivership or other court proceedings, Maker joint and severally agrees to pay all costs of collection, including, but not limited court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Borrower has duly executed this Note effective as of the date first written above.
