Notes To Unaudited Financial Statements
For the three and nine month period ended June, 30, 2014
NOTE 1. NATURE AND BACKGROUND OF BUSINESS
Americann, Inc. (f/k/a Nevada Health Scan, Inc.) ("the Company" or "the Issuer") was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 25, 2010. The Company was established as part of the Chapter 11 reorganization of AP Corporate Services, Inc. ("AP"). Under AP's Plan of Reorganization, as confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, the Company was incorporated to: (1) receive and own any interest which AP had in the development of an MRI scanning facility; and (2) issue shares of its common stock to AP's general unsecured creditors, to its administrative creditors, and to its shareholders. See Note 5 to these financial statements for more information.
Since the Company lacked the resources to effectively develop an MRI facility, in June, 2012 the Company decided to promote medical tourism by providing information on a website for those seeking to travel abroad for healthcare services. The Company planned to generate revenue by selling advertising to healthcare providers and related businesses including hotels and travel agencies.
In September 2013 the Company abandoned its business plan relating to promoting medical tourism.
On January 17, 2014, a privately held limited liability company acquired approximately 93% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock from several of the Company’s shareholders which resulted in a change in control of the Company.
The Company’s new business plan is to offer a comprehensive, turnkey package of services that includes consulting, design, construction and financing to approved and licensed marijuana operators throughout the United States and worldwide. The Company’s business plan is based on the anticipated growth of the regulated marijuana market in the United States and worldwide.
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failure to secure funding to properly grow the operations.

For the three and nine month period ended June, 30, 2014
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
a. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2013 included on Form 10-K/filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2013.
b. LOSS PER SHARE
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The ASC specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for loss per share for entities with publicly held common stock.
Basic loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The equity instruments such as warrants and options were not included in the loss per share calculations because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
c. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
d. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the Balance Sheet and Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company had a cash balance of $31,095 and $-0- as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 respectively.
f. INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the accrual method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on the deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At June 30, 2014, a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset has been recorded.
g. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-10 regarding development stage entities. The ASU removes the definition of development stage entity, as was previously defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), from the accounting standards codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.
In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (i) present inception-to-date information in the statement of income, cash flow and stockholders' equity, (ii) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (iii) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (iv) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.
The Company has chosen to adopt the ASU early for the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2014. The adoption of this pronouncement impacted the Company by eliminating the requirement to report inception to date financial information previously required.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company has minimal cash or other assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4. NOTES RECEIVABLE
The Company entered into a secured financing agreement with Nature’s Own Wellness Center, Inc. (“Nature’s Own”). Financing will be provided in a series of tranches as construction progresses to renovate a 15,000 square foot warehouse into a cannabis growing and processing facility. The total amount of financing is estimated to be $1,000,000, will accrue interest at 18% per annum, and will mature on November 1, 2016. Monthly interest only payments are due July 1 through November 1, 2014. Monthly principal and interest payments begin on December 1, 2014 through maturity. The note receivable is collaterized by substantially all of the assets of Nature’s Own and is personally guaranteed by one of the majority owners of Nature’s Own.
Nature’s Own is a licensed Colorado cannabis dispensary owner and grower with separate and distinct operations. Nature’s Own has its own revenue generating activities and is not financially dependent upon the Company. The Company has not guaranteed any debtor or obligation of Nature’s Own. The Company has no control of Nature’s Own operations and does not perform any management functions. However, a majority shareholder of Nature’s Own owns 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company performed analysis to determine if Nature’s Own is required to be consolidated under ASC 810, Consolidations, and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. As a result, consolidation was not required.
The balance of the note receivable as of June 30, 2014, was $200,000. Interest receivable and income for the three and nine month period ended June 30, 2014 was $986. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company advanced a second tranche of $450,000 to Nature’s Own.

NOTE 5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)
Bankruptcy Court in the matter of AP Corporate Services, Inc. ("AP"). The Court ordered the distribution of shares in Nevada Health Scan, Inc. to all general unsecured creditors of AP, with these creditors to receive their PRO RATA share (according to amount of debt held) of a pool of 80,000 shares in the Company. The Court also ordered the distribution of shares in the Company to all shareholders of AP, with these shareholders to receive their PRO RATA share (according to number of shares held) of a pool of 5,000 shares in the Company. The Court also ordered the distribution of shares in the Company to all administrative creditors of AP, with these creditors to receive one share of common stock in the Company for each $0.10 of AP's administrative debt which they held. The value of these shares was calculated by the intrinsic value. The Company allocates the remaining claims of $663,449 to the common stock and warrants issued.
AP has a total claim of $ 743,449 by the unsecured creditors and $80,000 cash were settled at the date of liquidation. The remaining claims were settled by the issuance of common stock and warrants
The Court also ordered the distribution of five million warrants in the Company to all administrative creditors of AP, with these creditors to receive five warrants in the Company for each $0.10 of AP's administrative debt which they held. These creditors received an aggregate of 5,000,000 warrants consisting of 1,000,000 "A Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00; 1,000,000 "B Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00; 1,000,000 "C Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00; 1,000,000 "D Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00; and 1,000,000 "E Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. All warrants are exercisable at any time prior to January 4, 2014. This warrant distribution also took place on June 25, 2010.
On December 27, 2013, the Company extended the maturity date to January 4, 2015. The estimated fair market value of these warrants as a result of the extension was deminimus. As a result the extension has no material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
On January 17, 2014, Strategic Capital Partners, LLC ("SCP") acquired 14,950,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, as well as warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock from several private parties. As a result of the acquisition, SCP owns approximately 93% of the Company's common stock which resulted in a change of control of the Company.

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Strategic Capital Partners, LLC, the Company's largest shareholder, sold 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Mr. Keogh at a price of $0.02 per share. As the purchase price was estimated to be the fair market value of the stock, the Company was not required to recognize any expense related to this transaction.
Of these 1,200,000 shares, 300,000 shares vested on March 25, 2014 and 900,000 are subject to the following vesting requirements provided that Mr. Keogh is employed the Company on the applicable vesting date: (i) 300,000 Shares will vest on the earlier of March 20, 2015 or the date the Company receives at least $15,000,000 from the sale of its debt or equity securities; (ii) 300,000 Shares will vest on the earlier of March 20, 2016 or the date the Company receives at least $30,000,000 from the sale of its debt or equity securities; for purposes of the foregoing, traditional financing from banks or similar financial institutions will not be given effect and the

Any shares which are not vested and which are not required to be purchased by the Company will be returned to treasury and cancelled.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
BUSINESS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company was incorporated on June 25, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was established as part of the Chapter 11 reorganization of AP Corporate Services, Inc. (“AP”). Under AP’s Plan of Reorganization, as confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, the Company was incorporated to: (i) hold any interest which AP retained in the development of an MRI facility in Nevada; and (ii) issue shares of its common stock to AP’s general unsecured creditors, to its administrative creditors, and to its shareholders in order to enhance their opportunity to recover from the bankruptcy estate.
Since the Company lacked the resources to effectively develop an MRI facility in June, 2012, the Company decided to promote medical tourism by providing information on a website for those seeking to travel abroad for healthcare services. The Company planned to generate revenue by selling advertising to healthcare providers and related businesses including hotels and travel businesses.
In September 2013 the Company abandoned its business plan relating to promoting medical tourism.
On January 17, 2014 Strategic Capital Partners, LLC, (“SCP”) a firm controlled by Benjamin J. Barton acquired 14,950,000 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.
In connection with the acquisition:
●
|
Mr. Barton was appointed as a director of the Company, and
|
|
●
|
Dean Konstantine, Josephine Resma and Howard Behling resigned as officers and directors of the Company.
|
On January 22, 2014 Jay Czarkowski was appointed as a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Benjamin Barton was appointed the Chief Financial officer of the Company. On March 19, 2014, Mr. Czarkowski resigned as an officer and director of the Company.
On February 21, 2014 the Company changed its name from Nevada Health Scan, Inc. to Americann, Inc. On the same day, the Company declared a stock dividend in the amount of four shares of common stock for each issued and outstanding share of common stock.
On February 24, 2014 SCP returned 65,750,000 shares to the Company.
18
During March and April 2014 the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to a group of private investors at a price of $0.75 per share. SCP purchased 400,000 shares in this offering.
On March 25, 2014, Timothy Keogh was appointed Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company.
The Company plans to provide an essential set of services to the regulated cannabis industry. The market research firm ArcView Group estimates the market for the regulated cannabis industry for 2013 was $1.53 billion, expected to grow to $2.53 billion in 2014 and $10.2 billion in ten years. Based on the ArcView analysis, the cannabis industry is projected to grow faster than any other industry in the country over the next decade.
While the industry is growing rapidly, the cannabis industry faces two major obstacles that challenge its growth and profitability. The cultivation of cannabis is a very capital-intensive enterprise. Many cannabis entrepreneurs do not have access to the capital that is necessary to build the infrastructure to meet growing demand. Traditional sources of financing, such as banks, are not available currently to cannabis producers and retailers. Also, there is a significant shortage of knowledge related to virtually all areas of the cannabis business. When new states are added to the list of regulated cannabis markets, there will be a scarcity of experience and expertise to serve the needs of growers and retailers in these states.
The Company believes that since the industry is so new, there is significant potential to transform the cannabis business through professionalism, innovation and the application of technology.
The Company does not intend to cultivate, produce, distribute or sell cannabis, but plans to provide a wide variety of essential services to licensed, regulated cannabis growers and retailers. These services include financing, cultivation center design, operational consulting, real estate development, and research.
The Company plans to generate revenue and profits from several sources including developing and selling cannabis cultivation facilities, interest income from loans to licensed cannabis operators, consulting and the licensing or sale of intellectual property.
The Company is based in Colorado, which by virtue of it being the first state to implement cannabis access to adults for non-medical purposes, provides an ideal environment for which to serve the growing cannabis industry as it expands nationally.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In January 2014 the Company began operating in accordance with its new business plan. As of June 30, 2014 the Company had not generated any revenue.
19
On June 16, 2014, the Company entered into an option agreement to purchase a five-acre parcel of undeveloped land located in North Central Denver, Colorado. On July 31, 2014 the Company exercised the option. The Company paid $250,000 for the option which was applied to the total purchase price of $2,250,000 for the property.
The property is currently zoned for cannabis cultivation and processing by the City and County of Denver.
The Company plans to develop the property as a facility called the “Denver Cannabis Center.” Plans for the Denver Cannabis Center include the construction of a 126,000 square foot facility that would include greenhouse and indoor cultivation areas that will be sold to licensed cannabis operators.
Additional plans for the Denver Cannabis Center include a cannabis dispensary, a research facility, a training center, an infused product production facility and corporate offices.
In developing the Denver Cannabis Center, the Company plans to utilize the most innovative and advanced cultivation methods available. The Company believes that through effective design and optimal practices, its clients and partners can achieve greater efficiency, product quality and the highest level of environmental standards.
The Company plans to build the Denver project as a prototype for development of comparable facilities in other states that allow for and regulate cannabis. To complete the project as planned, the Company will need to receive all necessary government approvals as well as additional capital.
On July 1, 2014 the Company entered into a Financing and Consulting Agreement with Nature’s Own Wellness Centers, a licensed Colorado cannabis dispensary owner and grower. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to loan Nature’s Own up to $1,000,000. The proceeds of the secured loan will be used by Nature’s Own to convert an existing 15,000 square foot warehouse into a new cannabis growing and processing facility.
On June 23, 2014, $200,000 was advanced to Nature’s Own. As of August 1, 2014, the Company had funded $650,000 of the total loan commitment of $1,000,000.
The loan has a 30-month term, bears interest at 18% annually, and requires monthly payments to the Company. Nature's Own will also pay the Company $300,000 in consulting fees for its cannabis operations over the 30-month period. Over the term of the 30-month loan, the agreement calls for the Company to receive average monthly payments of principal, interest and consulting fees in excess of $56,000.
20
The Company recently raised $2,363,000 in equity financing via a private placement to accredited investors. The Company sold 876,667 Units at a price of $3.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $8.00 per share at any time on or before April 30, 2018. Benjamin J. Barton, an officer and director of the Company, purchased $2,000,000 of the Units for cash as an investment.
On July 30, 2014 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of up to $10 million in a Convertible Note Offering to accredited and institutional investors. The secured notes will carry an annual interest rate, be convertible into common stock at the discretion of the investors and include warrants.
With the expected offering proceeds, the Company plans to expand to other states that have approved and regulate cannabis. The Company will limit its funding to states in which cannabis is approved and regulated by the respective state in which the cannabis entrepreneurs operate.
Since the Company was inactive prior to January 2014, any comparison of the Company’s operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and its financial condition as of June 30, 2014 with any prior periods would not be meaningful.
