1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, HISTORY AND PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. (“ACS,” “the Company,” “we” or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on June 5, 2013 (“Inception”). ACS provides real estate leasing services to the regulated cannabis industry throughout the United States by purchasing real estate assets and leasing growing space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers and dispensary owners for their operations. In addition, ACS provides a variety of ancillary services to the industry, including the development of a proprietary line of grow mediums and plant nutrient lines, product tracking technology, and comprehensive consulting services to current and future cannabis entrepreneurs.
While ACS does not grow, harvest, distribute or sell cannabis or any substances that violate United States law or the Controlled Substances Act, nor does it intend to do so in the future, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the Federal or State Governments.
Reverse Merger
Promap Corporation (“Promap”or “the Predecessor Company”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on November 12, 1987. Prtomap was an independent GIS and custom draft energy mapping company for the oil and gas industry in the United States and Canada.
On August 14, 2013, Promap, in a share exchange agreement (“the Share Exchange Agreement”) acquired 94% of the issued and outstanding share capital of ACS . On November 9, 2013, Promap acquired the remaining 6% of the share capital of ACS. It was planned that the ongoing operations would focus on ACS’ business plan as its core activity and operate under the name ACS. On March 27, 2014 the SEC issued a trading halt order on our common stock, and issued a statement that they were investigating affiliated shareholders that may have made illegal sales of common stock. The order was not directed at the management of the Company and is considered a private investigation. The common stock began trading again, unlisted, on the OTC on April 10, 2014. The Company has completed a change in trading symbol to CANN (OTC) and has completed its official name change. In December, 2013 the previous oil and gas mapping operations of Promap, as described above, were sold to the former Chief Executive Officer of Promap.
The Share Exchange Agreement has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization using accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions. Under reverse acquisition accounting, ACS, the acquired entity, is treated as the accounting acquirer of Promap. Consequently, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect only the operations of ACS for all periods presented, as they replace the historical financial statements of Promap, the legal acquirer.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company’s financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements
8
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the results of ACS and its two wholly owned subsidiary companies, ACS Colorado Corp. and Advanced Cannabis Solutions Corporation, from the dates of their incorporation and for Promap Corporation from August 14, 2013 onwards. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying ( a) condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from audited financial statements and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements , have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”), as amended, filed with the Commission on April 19 , 2014. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. From June 3, 2013 (Inception) through June 30, 2013, there were no transactions which would require accrual or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements. As such, the financial statements herein are presented without comparative periods for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2013 for the Consolidated Statement of Operations, as such balances would be reported as zero.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the related notes 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.
Receivables
The Company reviews receivables periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. Receivables are primarily contract-based billings to tenants and consulting engagement receivables.
Deferred Financing Costs, net
Costs with respect to the issuance of common stock, warrants, stock options or debt instruments by the Company are initially deferred and ultimately offset against the proceeds from such equity transactions or amortized as debt discount over the term of any debt funding, if successful, or expensed if the proposed equity or debt transaction is unsuccessful.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms. Specifically, revenue from tenant rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term, and collectability is reasonably assured. Consulting revenue is recognized based upon the payment terms within the contracts, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue relating to our wholesale business is recognized at the time goods are sold.
Net income (loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average common shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Warrants and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's convertible notes payable have not included in the computation as the effect would be anti-dilutive and would decrease the loss per share at the Company has incurred losses in all periods reported.
9
Inventory
Inventory consisting of wholesale items purchased for retail sale is stated at lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on average cost basis. At June 30, 2014, the inventory balance was primarily comprised of packaging products for retailers. There was no reserve for inventory as of June 30, 2014.
Amounts paid to suppliers for inventory not yet received is classified as prepaid inventory. Once received, the cost of inventory is reclassified into inventory.
Conventional Convertible Debt
The Company records conventional convertible debt in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” Conventional convertible debt is a financial instrument in which the holder may only realize the value of the conversion option by exercising the option and receiving the entire proceeds in a fixed number of shares or the equivalent amount of cash. Conventional convertible debt with a non-detachable conversion feature that does not contain a cash settlement option, and is not accounted for as a derivative, is recorded as a debt instrument in its entirety. The Company has accounted for the December 2013 issuance and the 8 and 1/2 % Convertible Note Payable as conventional convertible debt (see Note 10).
Derivatives Liabilities, Beneficial conversion features and Debt Discounts
The Company evaluates stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire or the related rights have been waived. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market. The Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using the binomal method . The Company recorded a derivative liability related to the Series C warrants (see Note 13).
If a conversion feature of conventional convertible debt is not accounted for as a derivative instrument and provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount. The convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest rate method. The Company has recorded a beneficial conversion feature related to the January 2014 convertible note issuance (see Note 10).
Business Segments
The Company operates in three segments in accordance with accounting guidance Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating decision maker as derived by FASB Topic 280.
10
Recently Issued 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 early adopt the ASU for the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2014. The adoption of this ASU impacted the Company’s reporting by eliminating the requirement to report inception to date financial information and describe the Company as a development stage company as previously required.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss, total assets, or total stockholders’ equity.
3. GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management believes that 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 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 Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,140,000 and $711,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
On April, 10, 2014 trading in our commons stock recommenced on the OTC after having been suspended by the SEC on March 27, 2014.
4. SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
On August 14, 2013, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Promap acquired approximately 94% of the outstanding common stock of ACS in exchange for 12,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement:
●
|
Promap purchased 8,000,000 shares of its outstanding common stock from a former officer of Promap for $100,000. These shares were then cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares;
|
●
|
Robert Frichtel was appointed as a director and the Principal Executive and Financial Officer of the Company;
|
●
|
Roberto Lopesino was appointed Vice President of the Company; and
|
●
|
Steven Tedesco and Robert Carrington, Jr., resigned as officers and directors of Promap.
|
11
As a result of the acquisition, ACS is Promap’s 94% owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of ACS own approximately 88% of Promap’s common stock. On November 9, 2013, Promap acquired the remaining 6% of the share capital of ACS. After completion of the reverse merger, 15,097,200 of common shares were outstanding.
The Share Exchange Agreement has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization using accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions. Under reverse acquisition accounting, ACS, the legal acquired entity, is treated as the accounting acquirer of the Predecessor Company. Consequently, the historical consolidated financial statements include the operations of the accounting acquirer for all periods presented. All outstanding shares have been restated to reflect the effect of the Share Exchange Agreement.
5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
On December 31, 2013 the Company purchased property in Pueblo County, Colorado for $450,000. The property, which is located in a suburb of Pueblo, consists of approximately three acres of undeveloped land, a 5,000 square foot steel building, and a parking lot. The purchase price was allocated $12,340 for land and $437,660 for buildings and related equipment, based on estimated fair values.
The purchase price was paid in cash of $280,000 and a promissory note in the principal of $170,000. The note bears interest at 8.5% interest per annum and is payable in monthly installments, including principal and interest, in the amount of $1,674. All unpaid principal and interest is due December 31, 2018. The promissory note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time on or before the maturity date at $5 per common share (see note 10).
The property is zoned for growing marijuana and is leased to a licensed medical marijuana grower through December 31, 2022 on a triple net lease basis. The Company has agreed with the tenant to begin construction of a light deprivation greenhouse on the property at an estimated cost not to exceed $500,000, with construction scheduled to begin in the third or fourth quarter of 2014.
Depreciation on the Pueblo building facility began effective January 1, 2014. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over 30 years. Depreciation expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3,116 and $6,232, respectively.

7. RECEIVABLES
The Company recognizes tenant rentals on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term. The Company's tenant rental agreements provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease term. Tenant rental revenue that has been earned on straight-line basis over the reasonably assured rental term, but has not been invoiced as yet under the terms of the tenant rental agreement, has either been classified as current or non-current under tenant receivable. Tenant rental revenue that has been earned on a straight-line basis, but that will not be invoiced to tenants under the terms of the tenant rental agreement within twelve months of the balance sheet date, has been classified as non-current under tenant receivable.
Receivables consist of the following:

10. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
12% Convertible Notes
December 2013 Issuance
In December 2013, the Company entered into various unsecured convertible promissory notes with various third parties totaling $530,000, of which the entire amount was outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The principal amounts of these notes are between $10,000 and $300,000. Under the terms of these notes, they mature on October 31, 2018, accrue interest at 12.0% per annum, and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $5.00 per share, with standard dilution clauses (i.e. dividends, stock splits). After November 1, 2015, the Company can force conversion of these notes if the trading stock price has exceeded $10 for 20 consecutive trading days. The Company paid $63,600 to a placement agent for finders fees which the Company recorded as a debt discount as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In addition, the Company granted the placement agent warrants to purchase 10,600 shares at a price of $5.00 per share, (with standard dilution clause for dividend, stock splits) which vest immediately, and expire October 31, 2018. The value of the warrants was $21,271 based on the black-scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the value of warrants as additional debt discount at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. For the three and six months period ended June 30, 2014, $3,272 and $6,525 has been amortized to interest expense, respectively and the unamortized debt discount balance at June 30, 2014 was approximately $78,000.
14
To properly account for the December 2013 Issuance, the Company performed a detailed analysis to obtain a thorough understanding of the transaction. The Company reviewed ASC Topic 815, to identify whether any equity-linked features in the December 2013 Issuance are freestanding or embedded. The Company determined that there were no free standing features. The December 2013 Issuance was then analyzed in accordance with Topic 815 to determine if the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value and remeasured at fair value in income. The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature did not meet the requirments for bifurcation pursuant to Topic 815 and therefore accounted for the December 2013 Issuance as conventional debt. The Company then reviewed ASC Topic 470-20, and determined that the December 2013 Issuance met the criteria of a conventional convertible note and that none of the December 2013 Issuance had a beneficial conversion feature As a result, pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, the Company recorded the Conventional Convertible note as a debt instrument in its entirety.
January 2014 Issuance
In January 2014, the Company entered into various unsecured convertible promissory notes with various third parties totaling $1,605,000, of which $1,350,000 was outstanding at June 30, 2014. The principal amounts of these notes are between $10,000 and $200,000. Under the terms of these notes, they mature on October 31, 2018, accrue interest at 12.0% per annum, and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $5.00 per share, with standard dilution clauses (i.e. dividends, stock splits). They are convertible at any time on or before maturity date at $5.00 per common share. The Company paid $160,500 in debt issuance costs and $32,100 to a placement agent for finders fees which the Company recorded as a debt discount as of June 30, 2014. In addition, the Company granted the placement agent warrants to purchase 32,100 shares at a price of $5.00 per share, (with standard dilution clause for dividend, stock splits) which vest immediately, and expire October 31, 2018. The value of the warrants was $83,452 based on the black-scholes pricing model. The Company recorded the value of warrants as additional debt discount at June 30, 2014.
To properly account for the January 2014 Issuance, The Company reevaluated the debt instruments pursuant to ASC 815, to identify whether any equity-linked features in the Convertible Debt are freestanding or embedded. January 2014 Issuance was issued availing the option for note holders to convert debt to common stock at fixed conversion price of $5.00 per share. The Company determined that conversion feature was embedded in the January issuance but did not meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815 and therefore should not be bifurcated. The Company concluded that the January 2014 Issuance was conventional debt and assessed under ASC 470-20 whether the January 2014 Issuance had a beneficial conversion feature. Since the initial conversion price of the security was less than the market value of the common stock at the time of issuance, it was determined that a beneficial conversion feature existed. The Company calculated the value of the beneficial conversion feature using the intrinsic value method. The stock price on the date of issuance was $13.75 and the conversion price was $5.
The calculated value of the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the debt discount resulted in a value greater than the value of the debt and as such, the total discount was limited to the value of the debt balance of $1,605,000.
The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. For three and six months period ended June 30, 2014, approximately $110,000 and $412,000 has been amortized to interest expense (including amounts related to debt conversions of approximately $252,000 dating March 31, 2014), repectively and the unamortized discount balance at June 30, 2014 was approximately $1,193,000.
Conversion of 12% Convertible Notes
On March 31, 2014, four of the January 2014 issuance note holders converted their loan notes with principal balances totaling $255,000 and accrued interest of $3,669 into 51,733 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $5.00 per share.
15
8 ½% Convertible Note Payable
The Company executed a mortgage on their Pueblo West property in the amount of $170,000 at 8 ½% interest amortized over 15 years with a maturity date of December 31, 2018 (the “Pueblo Mortgage”). This note is convertible at any time at $5.00 per share.
To properly account for the Pueblo Mortgage, the Company performed a detailed analysis to obtain a thorough understanding of the transaction. The Company reviewed ASC Topic 815, to identify whether any equity-linked features in the Pueblo Mortgage are freestanding or embedded. The Company determined that there were no free standing features. The Pueblo Mortgage was then analyzed in accordance with Topic 815 to determine if the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value and remeasured at fair value in income. The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature did not meet the requirements for bifurcation pursuant to Topic 815 and therefore accounted for the Pueblo Mortgage as conventional debt. The Company then reviewed ASC Topic 470-20, and determined that the Pueblo Mortgage he Pueblo Mortgage met the criteria of a conventional convertible note and that none of the Pueblo Mortgage had a beneficial conversion feature As a result, pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, the Company recorded the Conventional Convertible note as a debt instrument in its entirety.

13. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY
The Series C Warrants issued in connection with our agreement with the Full Circle private placement offering initially provided Full Circle with the opportunity to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock at the original exercise price of $5.50 per share. The Series C Warrants have anti-dilution protection provisions and, under certain conditions, grant the right to the holder to require the Company to adjust the warrant’s exercise price to a lower price. Accordingly, through June 30, 2014, these warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities. On January 21, 2014, the value of the initial warrant derivative liability was calculated to be $1,368,908. The Company received $500,000 in cash of which $100,000 was identified as deferred financing costs, resulting in an initial loss on the fair value of the derivative liability of $868,908. The price of $5.00 per share of the Series A and Series B warrants granted in conjunction with the January 2014 issuance resulted in the revaluation of the Series C warrants granted to Full Circle and an increase to the derivative liability of $153,994.
The Company used the binomial pricing model and assumptions that consider, among other factors, the fair value of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected life and dividend rates in estimating fair value for the warrants considered to be derivative instruments. The Company’s stock has been thinly traded since being delisted in the first quarter 2014, and all conversions of debt from the January 2014 issuance during the first and second quarters 2014 were converted using a stock price of $5.00 per share. Using the binomial pricing model and a stock price of $5.00 per share, management utilized initial scenario stock prices of $3.00, $4.00, $6.00, and $7.00. Assuming a 3 year expected term, management assessed the probabilities of the stock prices for each year, with probabilities more heavily weighted toward lower stock prices, in light of the Company’s delisted status, changes in leadership, and the Company’s current inability to execute its initial financing with Full Circle. The underlying assumptions used for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were:
June 30,
2014
|
||||
Risk-free interest rate
|
0.03 | % | ||
Expected dividend yield
|
0.00 | % | ||
Expected term (in years)
|
3 | |||
Expected volatility
|
33 | % |
Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a derivative gain or loss and are included in other income (expense). The warrant derivative gains (losses) are non-cash income (expenses); and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 related derivative gain or loss is included in other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The primary underlying risk exposure pertaining to the warrants is the change in fair value of the underlying Common Stock for each reporting period.
20
Changes in the derivative warrant liability for the three and six month periods June 30, 2014 are as follows:

14. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry-forwards. No net provision for refundable federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. If there were any unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
No provision was made for income taxes for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company, from the date of inception, has incurred net operating losses for tax purposes of approximately $ 2,229,691 . The net operating loss carry-forward may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2033.
There was no significant difference between reportable income tax and statutory income tax. A 100% valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax asset, as the utilization of the loss carry-forwards cannot be reasonably assured. A reconciliation between the income taxes computed in the United States is as follows:

17. Restatement of Prior Period Financials
Conventional Convertible Debt
In connection with the Company’s second quarter 2014 review procedures and internal control analysis, management conducted an analysis of the Company’s various financial instruments and agreements involving its convertible debt, and in particular, the $530,000 in unsecured convertible notes issued in December 2013 (the “12% December 2013 Notes”), and the $170,000 convertible debt mortgage relating to the Company’s property in Pueblo (the “Pueblo Mortgage”) (collectively, the “Convertible Debt”). Management’s analysis was particularly focused on the accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments and debt under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) and ASC Topic 470, “Debt” (“ASC 470”), respectively.
Management’s analyses included reviewing its previous analysis and accounting of the convertible debt noted above to see if any events may have occurred subsequent to the original issuance which would cause the Company’s original accounting and classification to change. Through the Company’s reevaluation process which included the Company obtaining a thorough understanding of the transactions, including gaining a thorough understanding of the terms of each instrument issued, and any potential derivative features. The Company reevaluated the debt instruments p ursuant to ASC 815, to identify whether any equity-linked features in the Convertible Debt are freestanding or embedded. The Convertible Debt was issued availing the option for note holders to convert debt to common stock at fixed conversion price of $5.00 per share. The Company determined that conversion feature was embedded in the debt instrument and was therefore not a free standing features. The Convertible Debt were then analyzed in accordance with ASC 815 to determine if the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated and accounted for at fair value and remeasured at fair value in income. The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature did not meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC Topic 815 and therefore should not be bifurcated pursuant to ASC 815 and therefore should be evaluated and accounted for as conventional convertible debt. The Company then reviewed ASC 470-20, and determined that the Convertible Debt met the criteria of conventional convertible notes and that none of the Convertible Debt instruments had a beneficial conversion feature as the conversion price was greater than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance(s). As a result, pursuant to ASC 470-20, the Company concluded that the Convertible Debt should have been recorded as a conventional convertible debt instrument in its entirety.
The Company had originally accounted for embedded conversion feature associated with the Convertible Debt as beneficial conversion features in the previously issued consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company originally valued the conversion features using the black-scholes option pricing model as the Company originally identified that the Conversion price of the debt was greater than then value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. Based on our reevaluation analyses performed during the second quarter 2014, we concluded that our original accounting for the embedded conversion feature as a debt discount on the Convertible Debt was incorrect, as the embedded conversion features did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore should not have been bifurcated and the embedded conversion feature did not have a beneficial conversion, therefore the Company should not have accounted for the embedded conversion feature as a debt discount.
On August 15, 2014, as a result of this analysis, management, along with Company’s Board of Directors, concluded that it was necessary to restate its previously filed consolidated financial statements for the period from June 5, 2013 (Inception) to December 31, 2013 filed on Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements contained in this quarterly report and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of operations appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K /A for from June 5, 2013 (“Inception”) to December 31, 2013. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for future interim periods or the year.
In the following discussion, there does not appear a comparison for the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2014 with the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. From Inception through June 30, 2013, the Company was initially capitalized, but had not commenced operations. As such, the financial statements herein are presented without comparative periods for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, with the exception of the Statements of Cash Flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 to present the Company’s initial capital contributions.
Overview
Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. (“ACS,” “the Company”, “we” or “us”) is a Colorado corporation. We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on November 12, 1987 under the name Promap Corporation. Promap originally traded as an independent GIS and custom draft energy mapping company providing hard copy and digital format oil and gas production maps for the oil and gas industry in the United States and Canada. Prior to December, 2013 most of the Company’s sales were to a company controlled by our chief executive officer.
On August 14, 2013, Promap acquired 94% of the issued and outstanding share capital of ACS in exchange for 12,400,000 shares of its common stock (see note 4 Share Exchange Agreement in the attached financial statements for a more detailed explanation of the transaction). On November 9, 2013, Promap acquired the remaining 6% of the share capital of Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. On October 1, 2013, we changed our name from Promap Corporation to Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. The Company has completed a change in trading symbol to CANN (OTCBB).
22
On December 31, 2013, we sold our oil and gas mapping business to our former Chief Executive Officer in consideration for his agreement to assume all liabilities associated with the mapping business.
The acquisition of ACS was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization using accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions. Under this type of accounting ACS is considered to have acquired Promap. After completion of the reverse merger, 15,097,200 of the Company’s common shares were outstanding.
Since August 2013, our core activity has been to provide sophisticated services and solutions to the regulated cannabis industry throughout the United States by leasing growing space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers and dispensary owners for their operations. Tenants pay rent and other fees to us for the use of the properties, all in compliance with applicable local and state laws and regulations. Additionally, we provide a variety of ancillary services to the marijuana industry, which include but is not necessarily limited to the distribution of a line plant nutrients, and comprehensive consulting services to current and future cannabis entrepreneurs.
Our initial focus will be on opportunities within Colorado, which has allowed its citizens to use medical marijuana since 2000. Voters in Colorado approved a ballot measure in November 2012 to legalize marijuana for recreational use for individuals over the age of 21 years old. Recreational sales of marijuana to individuals over the age of 21 began January 1, 2014.
While we do not intend to grow, harvest, distribute or sell cannabis or any substances that violate United States law or the Controlled Substances Act, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the Federal or state governments.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Advanced Cannabis Solutions Corporation, is the parent company formed in the state of Colorado on June 5, 2013. Advanced Cannabis Solutions Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary company, ACS Corp., was formed in the state of Colorado on June 6, 2013. ACS Corp.’s wholly owned subsidiary company, ACS Colorado Corp., was formed in the state of Colorado on October 21, 2013.
On January 27, 2014, the Company:
●
|
raised $1,605,000 in capital through a private placement offering,
|
●
|
entered into a financing agreement with Full Circle Capital Corporation (“Full Circle”). The agreement provides that Full Circle will initially provide $7.5 million to us in the form of Senior Secured Convertible Notes, subject to certain named conditions. We can borrow an additional $22.5 million with the mutual agreement of Full Circle and ourselves, and
|
●
|
sold 1,000,000 Series C warrants to Full Circle for $500,000.
|
On March 27, 2014 the SEC issued a trading halt order on our common stock, and issued a statement that they were investigating affiliated stockholders who may have made illegal sales of common stock. The order was not directed at the management of the Company and is considered a private investigation. The common stock began trading again on the OTC on April 10, 2014 .
Government Regulation
Marijuana is a Schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of marijuana has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federal laws.
As of July 25, 2014, 23 states and the District of Columbia allow its citizens to use Medical Marijuana. Additionally, voters in the states of Colorado and Washington approved ballot measures in November 2012 to legalize cannabis for adult use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a national level. The current presidential administration has stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
24

PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Since August 2013, our core activity has been to provide sophisticated services and solutions to the regulated cannabis industry throughout the United States by leasing growing space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers and dispensary owners for their operations. Tenants will pay rent and other fees to us for the use of the properties, all in compliance with applicable local and state laws and regulations. Additionally, we plan to provide a variety of ancillary services to the marijuana industry.
Our initial focus will be on opportunities within Colorado, which has allowed its citizens to use medical marijuana since 2000. Voters in Colorado recently approved a ballot measure in November 2012 to legalize marijuana for adult use.
While we do not intend to grow, harvest, distribute or sell cannabis or any substances that violate United States law or the Controlled Substances Act, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement by the Federal or state governments.
25
On January 21, 2014, we signed an agreement with Full Circle Capital Corporation (Full Circle), a closed-end investment company which provides that Full Circle will initially provide $7.5 million to us in the form of Senior Secured Convertible Notes, subject to certain conditions. We can borrow an additional $22.5 million with the consent of Full Circle.
At least 95% of any loan proceeds will be used to acquire properties which we will lease to licensed marijuana growers.
Full Circle will provide us with the initial $7.5 million when:
●
|
Full Circle agrees on the location of property to be purchased;
|
●
|
The specified property’s appraised value is satisfactory to Full Circle;
|
●
|
A Phase I environmental inspection is completed to the satisfaction of Full Circle; and
|
●
|
We are able to provide a first priority lien on the property in favor of Full Circle.
|
We can borrow an additional $22.5 million on terms acceptable to Full Circle and ourselves.
The six-year loan(s) will be secured by real estate acquired with the loan proceeds and will require interest-only payments at a rate of 12% a year, payable monthly.
The initial loan can, at any time, be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $5 per share. It is contemplated that further advances will be convertible at 110% of the market price of our common stock on the day of any advance, or the ten-day volume-weighted average price prior to the day of advance, whichever is lower.
The funding of the loan(s) is subject to the execution of additional documents between the parties.
Full Circle also purchased, for $500,000, warrants which allow Full Circle to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at any time on or prior to January 21, 2017 at a price of $5.50 per share. As part of the $500,000 proceeds from the warrant being issued to Full Circle, $100,000 was retained by Full Circle to cover legal and deal related expenses of future financing transactions.
We have identified 4 properties that are currently under review for purchase and leaseback to licensed marijuana growers in Colorado and Washington. These projects include the purchase and leaseback of existing, currently operating facilities, as well as proposed new construction projects. These opportunities can be purchased/constructed for amounts in the range of $750,000 to $5 million for each project. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any of these transactions.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Ac t, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms , and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer , as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses discussed below.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
|
·
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures of are being made only in accordance with authorizations our management and directors; and
|
·
|
Because of our inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.
The Company restated its consolidated financial statements and other financial information for the period from June 5, 2013 (Inception) to December 31, 2013 and, the three month period ended June 30, 2014 and, as a result of the Company’s determination that the original accounting for certain of its convertible note offerings failed to inappropriately recognized a beneficial conversion features for debt discounts relating to our conventional convertible debt. See the accompanying Notes to the financial statements for more information.
In connection with the restatement our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer considered the effect of the error on the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period from June 5, 2013 (Inception) to December 31, 2013. A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 5), or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1.
|
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
|
2.
|
We had not effectively implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls.
|
3.
|
We did not implement financial controls that were properly designed to meet the control objectives or address all risks of the processes or the applicable assertions of the significant accounts.
|
4.
|
Due to material weaknesses identified at our entity level controls we did not test whether our financial activity level controls or our information technology general controls were operating sufficiently to identify a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that may result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
|
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
The Company believes that it has established new procedures which we believe should reduce the likelihood of a recurrence of an internal control deficiency.
While management believes that the Company’s financial statements previously filed in the Company’s SEC reports have been properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with US GAAP, based on the control deficiencies identified above, we have designed and plan to implement, or in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives described below:
●
|
We are in the process of further enhancing our internal finance and accounting organizational structure, which includes hiring additional resources.
|
●
|
We are in the process of further enhancing the supervisory procedures to include additional levels of analysis and quality control reviews within the accounting and financial reporting functions.
|
●
|
We are in the process of strengthening our internal policies and enhancing our processes for ensuring consistent treatment and recording of reserve estimates and that validation of our conclusions regarding significant accounting policies and their application to our business transactions are carried out by personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training.
|
In the quarter ended June 30, 2014 we replaced our auditing firm with a new auditor and hired an internal consultant with extensive experience in U.S. GAAP and public company reporting experience. We also adopted a policy that we would not file a periodic report without first obtaining a written approval to file from our auditors.
Management has reviewed the consolidated financial statements and underlying information included herein in detail and believes the procedures performed are adequate to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in all material respects.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to such attestation pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to management's attention during the Company's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
