MJ HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2017

 

Note 1 — Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 condensed 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 the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016, 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, 2016, that was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2017. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, 5353 Joliet, LLC, MJ Havana, LLC, and MJ Sheridan, LLC. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

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, 2016. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the interim period ended March 31, 2017.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a comprehensive framework for revenue recognition that supersedes current general revenue guidance and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. An entity should apply the guidance either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative adjustment at the date of the initial application. In July 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is now permitted after the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting the new accounting guidance, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 — Disposition of Real Estate Business

 

On November 22, 2016 in connection with a plan to divest its real estate business, the Company submitted to its shareholders an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) the Company’s common stock for shares in MJ Real Estate Partners, LLC, (“MJRE”) a newly formed LLC formed for the sole purpose of effecting the Exchange Offer. On January 10, 2017, the Company accepted for exchange 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for 1,800,000 shares of MJRE’s common units, representing membership interests in MJRE. Effective February 1, 2017, the Company transferred its ownership interests in the real estate properties and its subsidiaries, through which the Company holds ownership of the real estate properties, to MJRE. MJRE will also assume the

senior notes and any and all obligations associated with the real estate properties and business, effective February 1, 2017.

 

On February 1, 2017, the 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock acquired in the Exchange Offer was recorded as an acquisition of treasury stock at a cost equal to the market value of the shares of the Company’s common stock accepted in the exchange offer. The difference of $421,893 between the market value of the treasury stock acquired in the Exchange Offer and the net book value of the assets and liabilities exchanged was recorded as additional paid-in capital due to the common controlling interests between the two entities involved with the Exchange Offer. In addition, $135,033 of cash was transferred to MJRE to cover accrued property taxes and security deposits, less prepaid property insurance premiums, held by the Company that were previously collected from the tenants of the real estate properties exchanged.

 

The historical results of the disposed assets and liabilities are shown in the Company’s financial statements as discontinued operations for periods presented before the exchange. In subsequent periods, the Company’s financial statements will no longer reflect the assets, liabilities, results of operations or cash flows attributable to the disposed assets and liabilities.

 

A summary of the difference between the market value of the treasury stock acquired in the Exchange Offer and the net book value of the assets and liabilities exchanged that was recorded as additional paid-in capital on February 1, 2017, is as follows:

 

   February 1,
2017
 
Treasury stock acquired via exchange     
1,800,000 shares at $0.86 per share (market value as of 1/10/2017)  $1,548,000

Land  $747,389

Note 4 — Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company divested their real estate properties and associated business. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company generated a loss from continuing operations of $26,878 and used $13,318 of cash for operating activities. Subsequent to the divestiture of its real estate business, the Company does not expect to generate revenues for the next six to nine months. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is developing mobile and computer based applications focused on providing cannabis for medical use content and educational materials to licensed medical professionals, in addition to matching patients with medical professionals who are familiar with the therapeutic effects and indications of cannabinoids and making social connections by and between cannabis users.

 

Our goal is to develop a “freemium” based business model, where we offer our services for free in an effort to build and develop a user-base. We expect to generate revenues in the future through advertising and by marketing premium products and services to our growing user-base.

 

Although we can provide no assurances, we believe our cash on hand will provide sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our business for the next twelve months.

 

In the event the Company experiences liquidity and capital resource constraints because of unanticipated operating losses, we may need to raise additional capital in the form of equity and/or debt financing. If such additional capital is not available on terms acceptable to us or at all, then we may need to curtail our operations and/or take additional measures to conserve and manage our liquidity and capital resources, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and our ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

 

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company paid $45,417 and $68,125, respectively, for interest due pursuant to $2,725,000 of promissory notes held by CMG, wholly-owned by the Company’s co-CEO and shareholder, Shawn Chemtov. On February 1, 2017, the promissory notes held by CMG were exchanged as part of the Exchange Offer discussed above in Note 3.

 

Note 6 Outstanding Warrants

 

A summary of warrants issued, exercised and expired during the three months ended March 31, 2017, is as follows:

 

         Weighted 
         Avg. 
         Exercise 
Warrants:   Shares    Price 
Balance at January 1, 2017   166,665   $5.88 
Issued        
Exercised        
Expired        
Balance at March 31, 2017   166,665   $5.88 

 

8 

 

 

Note 7 — Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if warrants were exercised and were not anti-dilutive.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share were the same since there were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the respective periods. Outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, to purchase 166,665 shares of common stock were not included in the calculations of diluted income per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive for each of the periods presented.

 

Note 8 — Subsequent Event

 

On April 24, 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Laufer and Mr. Chemtov, whereby Mr. Laufer and Mr. Chemtov will serve as its co-Chief Executive Officer and members of the board of directors for a term that shall begin on April 24, 2017, and, unless sooner terminated as provided therein, shall end on April 24, 2018; provided that such term of employment shall automatically extend for successive one-year periods unless either party gives at least six months’ advance written notice of its intention not to extend the term of employment.

 

Messrs. Laufer and Chemtov will each receive a base salary of $75,000 salary and a one-time retention bonus of $75,000. Mr. Laufer and Mr. Chemtov shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual performance based bonus program, as the same may be established from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors for executive officers of the Company.

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

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this report, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the plans, objectives, expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and we can give no assurance that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved. Important factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in the “Risk Factors” section of and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and in our subsequent filings with the SEC, and include, among others, the following: marijuana is illegal under federal law, competition, our business is dependent on laws pertaining to the marijuana industry, government regulation, our business model depends on the availability of private funding, we will be subject to general real estate risks and the availability, if debt payments to note holder are not made we could lose our investment in our real estate properties, terms and deployment of capital. The terms “MJ Holdings, Inc.,” “MJ Holdings,” “MJ,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to MJ Holdings, Inc. 

 

Business Overview

 

MJ Holdings owned and leased real estate to licensed operators in the regulated cannabis industry. Additionally, we are developing desktop and mobile social, meet-up and health and wellness applications. Our mobile and computer based applications are focused on providing cannabis for medical use content and educational materials to licensed medical professionals, in addition to matching patients with medical professionals who are familiar with the therapeutic effects and indications of cannabinoids and making social connections by and between cannabis users.

 

On November 22, 2016 in connection with a plan to divest ourselves of our real estate business, we submitted to our shareholders an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) our common stock for shares in MJ Real Estate Partners, LLC, (“MJRE”) a newly formed LLC formed for the sole purpose of effecting the Exchange Offer. On January 10, 2017, we accepted for exchange 1,800,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for 1,800,000 shares of MJRE’s common units, representing membership interests in MJRE. Effective February 1, 2017, we transferred our ownership interests in the real estate properties and our subsidiaries, through which we held ownership of the real estate properties, to MJRE. Effective February 1, 2017, MJRE assumed the senior notes and any and all obligations associated with the real estate properties and business.

 

The MJ Real Estate Partners separation was due to our inability to scale and expand our real estate business as previously planned and our intention to engage in business opportunities where we believe we have greater growth opportunities to which capital will be more readily available.

 

How We Plan to Generate Revenue

 

Our Digital Assets

We operate and are developing mobile and computer based applications focused on:

 

·providing cannabis for medical use content and educational materials to licensed medical professionals,

 

·matching patients with medical professionals who are familiar with the therapeutic effects and indications of cannabinoids and;

10 

 

 

·making social connections by and between cannabis users.

 

We have not generated any revenue from our digital assets and do not anticipate generating revenues in the next six to nine months. Our goal is to develop a “freemium” based business model, where we offer our services for free in an effort to build and develop a user-base. We expect to generate revenues in the future through advertising and by marketing premium products and services to our growing user-base.

 

The Company does not and will not, until such time as Federal law allows, grow, harvest, distribute or sell marijuana or any substances that violate the laws of the United States of America.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the interim period ended March 31, 2017.

 

Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates and their effect, if any, on the Company’s financial results.

 

Results of Operations For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

 

Revenue

 

We generated no revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017, increased by $8,614 to $26,711 compared with general and administrative expenses of $18,097 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2017 was primarily attributed to additional professional fees associated the Exchange Offer executed during the first quarter of 2017.

 

Loss from Continuing Operations

 

We had a loss from continuing operations of $26,878 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $18,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase of $8,614 in the loss from continuing operations was primarily driven by the increase in general and administrative expenses discussed above.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

As a result of the Exchange Offer, the real estate properties and corresponding assets and liabilities included in the Exchange Offer qualified as assets held for disposition, and the results of operations to be reported as discontinued operations for the current and prior periods presented.

 

The following is a summary of the results of operations reported as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

Revenues from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017, decreased by $110,895 to $57,978 compared with revenue of $168,873 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Revenues from discontinued operations were generated as a result of rental income from operating leases on three real estate properties that were divested as part of the Exchange Offer effective February 1, 2017. The decrease in revenue was primarily related to generating one month of revenues prior to the divestiture in February 2017, compared with three months of revenue for the first quarter of 2016.

 

Property expenses from discontinued operations consist of those costs associated with acquiring and leasing real estate properties that were divested as part of the Exchange Offer effective February 1, 2017. These expenses include costs for commissions, appraisals, real property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred property expenses of $9,883 compared with $24,456 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease of $14,573 in property expenses was primarily attributed to incurring one month of expenses prior to the divestiture in February 2017, compared with three months of expenses during the first quarter of 2016.

 

Depreciation expense recorded for real estate properties divested as part of the Exchange Offer effective February 1, 2017, was $9,659 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared with depreciation expense of $24,456 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in depreciation expense for the first quarter of 2017 was due to the divestiture of the real estate properties effective February 1, 2017.

 

Other Expenses

 

Interest expense paid to a related party is associated with promissory notes held on certain real estate properties that were divested as part of the Exchange Offer. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2017 decreased by $45,417 to $22,708 compared with interest expense of $68,125 for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in interest expense the first quarter of 2017 was due to the divestiture of the real estate properties and the associated promissory notes effective February 1, 2017.

 

Interest expense associated with the amortization of debt issuance costs decreased by $3,313 to $427 for the first quarter of 2017 compared with interest expense of $3,740 for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in the amortization of debt issuance costs for the first quarter of 2017 was due to the divestiture of the real estate properties and the associated promissory notes effective February 1, 2017.
