Leases

Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted Topic 842, Lease Accounting using the effective date method. Under this method, periods prior to adoption remain unchanged. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

Right-of-Use (ROU) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Under the available practical expedient, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets as both a lessee and lessor. Further, we elected a short-term lease exception policy on all classes of underlying assets, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less).

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is adopted the new guidance under ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, and determined that the impact of the adoption on its financial statements is immaterial.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,025,443 and $19,853,444 at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company is attempting to increase operations and generate additional revenues, the Company's cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. Management may raise additional funds through the sale of its securities or borrowings from third parties.

Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate additional revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3. NOTE RECEIVABLE

Notes and other receivables as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, consisted of the following:

NOTE 4. NOTES PAYABLE

Unrelated

On August 2, 2019 the Company secured a $4,000,000 investment from an unrelated third party in the form of a loan. The loan was evidenced by a note which bore interest at the rate of 11% per year, was due and payable on August 2, 2022 and was secured by a first lien on Building 1 at the Company’s Massachusetts Cannabis Center (“MCC”).

The note holder also received a warrant which allows the holder to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.50 per share. The warrant will expire on the earlier of (i) August 2, 2024 or (ii) twenty days after written notice to the holder that the daily Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock was at least $4.00 for twenty consecutive trading days and the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock during the twenty trading days was at least 150,000 shares.

The broker for the loan received a cash commission of $320,000 plus warrants to purchase 48,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.50 per share and expire on August 2, 2024. The cash commission and the fair value of the warrants amounting to $52,392 were recognized as a discount to the note.

The Company allocated the proceeds between the note and the warrants based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value of the 600,000 warrants was $562,762 which was recognized as additional paid in capital and a corresponding debt discount.

On December 4, 2020, the loan was modified and increased by $500,000 and the maturity date of the loan was extended to August 1, 2023. All other provisions of the original loan remained the same. The debt modification was deemed not substantial and was accounted for as a debt modification. The broker for the loan received a cash commission of $40,000 which was expensed when incurred.

In July 2023, the maturity date was further extended to December 1, 2023. On November 30, 2023, the maturity of the loan was extended to January 31, 2024. All other provisions of the previously modified loan remain the same. The debt modification was deemed not substantial and was accounted for as a debt modification. The broker for the loan received a cash commission of $7,500 which was expensed when incurred. On January 31, 2024, the maturity date of the loan was further extended until April 15, 2024. All other provisions of the previously modified loan remain the same.

At December 31, 2023, the outstanding principal on this note was $4,500,000 and the unamortized debt discount was $0. All debt discounts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the modified note. Amortization expense related to the debt discounts was $0 and $48,706 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The modified note is secured by a first lien on Building 1 at the Company’s Massachusetts Cannabis Center (“MCC”).

February 2018 Convertible Note Offering

On February 12, 2018, the Company sold convertible notes in the principal amount of $810,000 to a group of accredited investors. The notes were unsecured and bore interest at 8% per year. On October 12, 2020, this remaining note was extended to mature on December 31, 2021. On December 15, 2021, the remaining note of $150,000 was extended to mature on December 31, 2022. On October 5, 2022, the Company paid $159,140 to fully repay the $150,000 note including $9,140 of interest. At December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal on this note was $0.

BASK. On April 7, 2016, we signed agreements with BASK. BASK is one of a limited number of organizations that has received a provisional or final registration to cultivate, process and sell medical and adult use cannabis by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission.

Pursuant to the agreements, we agreed to provide BASK with financing for construction and working capital required for BASK’s approved dispensary and cultivation center in Fairhaven, MA.

On August 15, 2018, the Company combined the construction and working capital advances of $129,634 and accrued interest of $44,517 into a new loan with payments over 5 years with 18% interest. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company received payments of $11,604 on this loan. At December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance on the note receivable was $0.

On July 26, 2019, the Company entered into a 15-Year Triple Net lease of Building 1 of the MCC with BASK. The lease commenced on September 1, 2019 and includes an annual base rent of $138,762 and a revenue participation fee equivalent to 15% of BASK’s gross revenues. The BASK tenant receivable balance was $379,064 and $103,450 as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Related Party

SCP. On September 30, 2019, we entered into an amended note with Strategic Capital Partners, LLC (“SCP”), an entity controlled by Benjamin J. Barton, one of our officers and directors and principal shareholders, in the principal amount of $1,756,646, bearing interest of 9% per year and maturing on December 31, 2022. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the maturity of the note was extended to December 31, 2023. In December 2023, the note was further extended to March 31, 2024.

Accrued interest on the note was $0 at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

At December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal on this note was $581,646.

During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company also incurred $180,000 of consulting expenses with SCP and paid $247,500. As of September 30, 2023, $15,000 remained unpaid. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred $45,000 of consulting expenses with SCP and paid $60,000. As of December 31, 2023, $0 remains outstanding.

As of December 31, 2023 we excluded 1,700,000 of stock options, 2,148,000 of warrants from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share since the intrinsic value of these instruments was zero with the effect being anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2022 we excluded 1,700,000 of stock options, 2,211,650 of warrants and 100,000 shares that would be issued from conversion of outstanding convertible notes from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share since the intrinsic value of these instruments was zero with the effect being anti-dilutive.

Operating Leases

Office space

The Company leases its office space located at 1555 Blake St., Unit 502, Denver, CO 80202 for $2,500 per month with a lease term of less than 12 months from SCP, a related party. See Note 4.

Lease expense for office space was $7,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Land

On October 17, 2016, the Company closed the acquisition of the 52.6-acre parcel of undeveloped land in Freetown, Massachusetts. The property is located approximately 47 miles southeast of Boston. The Company is developing the property as the Massachusetts Cannabis Center (“MCC”). Plans for the property include the construction of sustainable greenhouse cultivation and processing facilities that will be leased or sold to Registered Marijuana Dispensaries under the Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Program.

As part of a simultaneous transaction, the Company assigned the property rights to Massachusetts Medical Properties (“MMP”) for a nominal fee and entered a lease agreement pursuant to which MMP agreed to lease the property to the Company for an initial term of fifty (50) years. The Company has the option to extend the term of the lease for four (4) additional ten (10) year periods. The lease is a triple net lease, with the Company paying all real estate taxes, repairs, maintenance and insurance.

The lease payments will be the greater of (a) $30,000 per month; (b) $0.38 per square foot per month for any structure built on the property; or (c) 1.5% of all gross monthly sales of products sold by the Company, any assignee of the Company, or any subtenant of the Company. The lease payments will be adjusted up (but not down) every five (5) years by any increase in the Consumer Price Index.

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 and recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities of $6,980,957 and $4,256,869, respectively. As part of the adoption, the prepaid land lease balance of $2,724,088 was classified as a component of the Company’s ROU assets.

The Company completed the construction of Building I on the leased land and on September 1, 2019, BASK commenced its 15-year sublease of Building I which includes an annual base rent of $138,762 plus 15% of BASK’s gross revenues from products produced at the MCC.

OVERVIEW

AmeriCann designs, develops, leases and operates state-of-the-art cannabis cultivation, processing and manufacturing facilities. AmeriCann’s team includes board members, consultants, engineers and architects who specialize in real estate development, traditional horticulture, lean manufacturing, medical research, facility construction, regulatory compliance, security, marijuana cultivation and genetics, extraction processes, and infused product development.

AmeriCann’s flagship project is the Massachusetts Cannabis Center. The Massachusetts Cannabis Center (“MCC”) is being developed on a 52-acre parcel located in southeastern Massachusetts. AmeriCann’s MCC project is permitted for over 800,000 sq. ft. of cannabis cultivation and processing infrastructure which is being developed in phases to support both the existing medical cannabis and the newly emerging adult-use cannabis marketplace.

The first phase of the project, Building 1, a 30,000 square foot cultivation and processing facility, is fully-operational and is currently 100% leased by a vertically-integrated Massachusetts cannabis company. AmeriCann generates revenue through lease arrangements with the operators that includes base rent and turnover rent (i.e., a revenue participation fee).

AmeriCann, through a 100% owned subsidiary, AmeriCann Brands, Inc., has received two licenses from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission to cultivate cannabis and provide extraction and product manufacturing support to the entire MCC project, as well as to other licensed cannabis farmers throughout regulated markets. AmeriCann Brands plans to operate in Building 2 at the MCC. In addition to large-scale extraction of cannabis plant material, AmeriCann Brands plans to produce branded consumer packaged goods including cannabis beverages, vaporizer products, edible products, non-edible products and concentrates at the state-of-the-art facility.

AmeriCann may replicate the brands, technology and innovations developed at its MCC project to additional markets.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Leases

Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, Lease Accounting using the effective date method. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total Revenues

During the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we generated $475,629 and $734,766 in revenue, respectively. The decrease in revenue is due to pricing compression of cannabis products in Massachusetts, a decrease in Bask’s retail revenue from products produced at AmeriCann’s building, and a seasonal decrease in wholesale sales of products produced in AmeriCann’s building.

Cost of Revenues

During the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $780 and $13,615 of costs of revenue, respectively. The decrease in cost is due to conclusion of a facilities maintenance agreement.

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

Advertising and marketing expenses were $281 and $1,418 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease is due to lower marketing expenses in 2024.

Professional Fees

Professional fees were $111,851 and $120,513 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $403,610 and $391,306 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increase in licenses and fees.

Interest Income

Interest income was $7,951 and $1,663 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase is a result of a new note receivable.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $139,057 and $186,832 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to decrease in amortization of debt discounts.

Net Operating Income/Loss

We had a net loss of $(171,999) and net income of $22,745 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in net loss is attributed primarily to the decrease in revenue as a result of pricing compression of cannabis products in Massachusetts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is continuing to support the optimization of operations and generate additional revenues from its Massachusetts Cannabis Center (MCC). The Company's cash position and quarterly revenue is currently significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. The Company will need to raise additional funds for the expansion of the MCC. When Management determines expansion opportunities exist the Company may finance construction with cash from operations, a sale-lease-back, refinancing and expand existing debt, issuance of new debt, or sales of equity.

Notes Payable

See Notes 4 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements filed with this report for information concerning our notes payable.

Analysis of Cash Flows

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, our net cash flows used in operations were $(337,244) as compared to net cash flows provided by operations of $111,270 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in our net income during the three months ended December 31, 2023 and timing of working capital payments.

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were $9,845 and $(29,080) for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consisting of payments received on notes receivable.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $0 and $150,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consisting of principal payments on notes payable in 20022.

We do not have any firm commitments from any person to provide us with any additional capital.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the same reasons that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As indicated in our Form 10-K filed on December 22, 2023, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level, as a result of a material weaknesses primarily related to a lack of a sufficient number of personnel with appropriate training and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, limited or no segregation of duties, and lack of independent directors.

We are currently in the process of evaluating the steps necessary to remediate these material weaknesses.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

None of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K) during the quarterly period ending December 31, 2023.
