CLS HOLDINGS USA, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2017
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
CLS Holdings USA, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated as Adelt Design, Inc. (“Adelt”) on March 31, 2011 to manufacture and market carpet binding art. Production and marketing of carpet binding art never commenced.
On November 12, 2014, CLS Labs, Inc. (“CLS Labs”) acquired 10,000,000 shares, or 55.6%, of the outstanding shares of common stock of Adelt from its founder, Larry Adelt. On that date, Jeffrey Binder, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CLS Labs, was appointed Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On November 20, 2014, Adelt adopted amended and restated articles of incorporation, thereby changing its name to CLS Holdings USA, Inc. Effective December 10, 2014, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-0.625 (the “Reverse Split”), wherein 0.625 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in exchange for each share of common stock issued and outstanding. As a result, 6,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to CLS Labs in exchange for the 10,000,000 shares that it owned by virtue of the above-referenced purchase from Larry Adelt.
On April 29, 2015, the Company, CLS Labs and CLS Merger Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CLS Holdings, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and completed a merger, whereby CLS Merger Inc. merged with and into CLS Labs, with CLS Labs remaining as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Upon the consummation of the Merger, the shares of the common stock of CLS Holdings owned by CLS Labs were extinguished and the former stockholders of CLS Labs were issued an aggregate of 15,000,000 (post Reverse Split) shares of common stock in CLS Holdings in exchange for their shares of common stock in CLS Labs. As a result of the Merger, the Company acquired the business of CLS Labs and abandoned its previous business.
The Company has a patent pending proprietary method of extracting cannabinoids from cannabis plants and converting the resulting cannabinoid extracts into concentrates such as oils, waxes, edibles and shatter. These concentrates may be ingested in a number of ways, including through vaporization via electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarettes”), and used for a variety of pharmaceutical and other purposes. Internal testing of this extraction method and conversion process has revealed that it produces a cleaner, higher quality product and a significantly higher yield than the cannabinoid extraction processes currently existing in the marketplace. The Company has not commercialized its patent pending proprietary process or otherwise earned any revenues. The Company plans to generate revenues through licensing, fee-for-service and joint venture arrangements related to its patent pending proprietary method of extracting cannabinoids from cannabis plants and converting the resulting cannabinoid extracts into saleable concentrates.
The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of May 31st.
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars.
Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CLS Holdings USA, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, CLS Labs, Inc. and CLS Labs Colorado, Inc. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,940 and $88,244 as of February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Computer equipment is being depreciated over a three-year period.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred no advertising and marketing costs for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. The Company incurred no research and development costs for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the establishment of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to the extent deferred tax assets may not be recoverable after consideration of the future reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 825 - Financial Instruments, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets. The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, note receivable, notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, none of which is held for trading, approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.
A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible notes are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model the Company used for determining the fair value of its derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (see note 11).
Revenue Recognition
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue using four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
The Company has not generated revenue to date.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options and warrants to purchase common stock, and convertible debt. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation.
A net loss causes all outstanding stock options and warrants to be antidilutive. As a result, the basic and dilutive losses per common share are the same for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016.
Commitments and Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims brought to such legal counsel’s attention as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company’s future financial statements. The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The update requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases. The update also requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Adoption will require a modified retrospective approach beginning with the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), to reduce the complexity of certain aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. ASU 2016-09 involves changes in several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for the income tax consequences of share-based awards. For public companies, ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues and is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the update on its financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 – Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $6,246,786 as of February 28, 2017. Further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans, the proceeds from the sale of securities, and/or revenues from operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 9 – Related Party Transactions
As of February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the Company owed the amount of $112,500 and $250,000, respectively, to Jeffrey Binder, its President and Chief Executive Officer, for accrued salary. For the nine months ended February 28, 2017, unpaid accrued salary in the amount of $250,000 was transferred to a convertible promissory note due to Mr. Binder (see note 11).
As of February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the Company had accrued salary due to Michael Abrams, a former officer of the Company prior to his September 1, 2015 termination, in the amount of $16,250.
As of February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the Company had related party payables in the amount of $17,930 due to officers and directors related to expenses paid on behalf of the Company. The Company imputed interest at the rate of 6% per annum on these liabilities, and recorded imputed interest expense on these liabilities in the amounts of $804 and $807 during the nine months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, respectively. These interest accruals were charged to additional paid-in capital.
On April 17, 2015, prior to Alan Bonsett’s appointment as Chief Operating Officer, the Company, through CLS Labs Colorado, entered into an arrangement with PRH (the “Colorado Arrangement”) to, among other things, (i) license its proprietary technology, methods and processes to PRH in Colorado in exchange for a fee; (ii) sub-lease warehouse and office space in Denver, Colorado to PRH whereby PRH can grow, extract and process cannabis and other plant products in exchange for lease payments totaling an aggregate of $1,067,067 over a seventy-two (72) month term; (iii) build a processing facility and lease such facility, including equipment, to PRH in exchange for a monthly fee; and (iv) loan $500,000 to PRH to be used by PRH in connection with its financing of the building out, equipping, and development of a marijuana grow facility. Mr. Bonsett, as an owner of PRH, will indirectly receive the benefits of the Colorado Arrangement. PRH entered into an arrangement with a third-party grower to grow marijuana at a location that is contiguous to PRH’s leased real property. The grower obtained zoning approval, a certificate of occupancy to begin planting cannabis and operating the grow facility, and a Colorado Retail Marijuana Cultivation Facility License before commencing planting in December 2015, and the grow facility is now fully operational.
Additionally, upon Mr. Bonsett’s employment on August 1, 2015 to serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, he received a one-time signing bonus of 250,000 (post Reverse-Split) shares of restricted common stock of the Company, with a fair value of $327,500, which became fully vested one year from the effective date of the agreement.

These notes originally bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which increased to 15% effective August 1, 2016. Initially, Old Main could, at its option, convert all or a portion of the notes and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share (post Reverse-Split) (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). The Fixed Conversion Price is subject to adjustment if, at any time while this note is outstanding, the Company should issue any equity security with an effective price per share that is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price (the “Base Conversion Price”), other than certain exempt issuances. In such an instance, the Fixed Conversion Price will be lowered to match the Base Conversion Price. Originally, at the earlier of October 18, 2016 or two trading days after the registration statement related to the Company’s equity line was declared effective, the Company must begin to redeem 1/24th of the face amount of the notes and any accrued but unpaid interest on a bi-weekly basis. Such amortization payments could be made, at the Company’s option, in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in common stock pursuant to a conversion rate equal to the lower of (a) $0.80 or (b) 75% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock in the twenty consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.

In exchange for amending the terms of the 10% Notes, the Company increased the outstanding principal balance by 10% to $366,666. In addition the Fixed Conversion Price was changed to a variable conversion price equal to the lesser of the prior Fixed Conversion Price or 75% of the lowest VWAP in the fifteen trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date. This November 28, 2016 amendment required an extinguishment analysis of the 10% Notes resulting in the gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $172,618 during the nine months ended February 28, 2017. The gain on extinguishment of debt was included in additional paid in capital during the nine months ended February 28, 2017. The 10% Notes were revalued as of the November 28, 2016 amendment and the Company recognized a discount of $366,666 on the value of the embedded derivative. During the three months ended February 28, 2017 Old Main converted an aggregate of $100,000 of principal, in six transactions, into 828,173 shares of common stock. . At February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the amount of discount remaining on these notes was $264,276 and $326,132, respectively. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017, the Company accrued interest in the amount of $12,649 and $34,959, respectively, on these notes.

Originally, Old Main could, at its option, convert all or a portion of the note and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.07 per share (post Reverse-Split) (the “8% Fixed Conversion Price”). The 8% Fixed Conversion Price is subject to adjustment if, at any time while this note is outstanding, the Company should issue any equity security with an effective price per share that is lower than the 8% Fixed Conversion Price (the “8% Base Conversion Price”), other than certain exempt issuances.

The Company recognized a discount of $172,108 on the value of the embedded derivative at the time of issuance.
On November 28, 2016, the 8% Note was amended converting the note from an installment note to a “balloon” note, with all principal and accrued interest due on March 18, 2017. In addition the Fixed Conversion Price was changed to a variable conversion price equal to the lesser of the prior Fixed Conversion Price or 75% of the lowest VWAP in the fifteen trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date. The November 28, 2016 amendment required an extinguishment analysis of the 8% Note resulting in gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $81,496 for the nine months ended February 28, 2017.

Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income. The derivative component of the 2016 Convertible Notes was valued at November 28, 2016, the date of the second amendment to the 2016 Convertible Notes, and at period end.

As of February 28, 2017, the Company had 70,000 shares of common stock payable valued at $65,700 due to two third party consultants included in stock payable on the accompanying balance sheets. The parties are in discussions regarding whether any shares of the Company’s common stock have been earned and it is uncertain whether any shares will be issued.
Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In March 2016, the Company entered into convertible note agreements containing beneficial conversion features with Old Main. One of the features is a ratchet reset provision which, in general, reduces the conversion price should the Company issue equity with an effective price per share that is lower than the stated conversion price in the note agreement (see note 11). The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815- Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 07-05- Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-05”). The Company carries the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and accounts for any unrealized change in fair value as a component of its results of operations.
The following summarizes the Company’s derivative financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016.

During the three months ended February 28, 2017, Old Main, holder of the 2016 Convertible Notes, converted an aggregate of $100,000 of principal, in six transactions, into 828,173 shares of common stock. As a result the Company charged $122,657 of derivative liability to additional paid-in capital (see Note 10).
Note 13 – Commitment and Contingencies
The Company, through CLS Labs Colorado, leases 42,392 square feet of warehouse and office space (the “Leased Space”) in a building located on 1.92 acres in Denver Colorado. CLS Labs Colorado subleases the Leased Space to Picture Rock Holdings, LLC as part of an arrangement whereby Picture Rock Holdings, LLC and its affiliate will conduct certain intended activities, including growing, extraction, conversion, assembly and packaging of cannabis and other plant materials, as permitted by and in compliance with state, city and local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations. Total expense for the lease was $139,827 and $163,024 for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016.
Employment Agreements
CLS Labs and Jeffrey Binder entered into a five-year employment agreement effective October 1, 2014. Under the agreement, Mr. Binder serves as CLS Labs’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and is entitled to receive an annual salary of $150,000. Under the agreement, Mr. Binder is also entitled to receive a performance bonus equal to 2% of CLS Labs’ annual EBITDA, up to a maximum annual cash compensation of $1 million (including his base salary), and annual stock options, exercisable at the fair market value of CLS Labs’ common stock on the date of grant, in an amount equal to 2% of its annual EBITDA up to $42.5 million and 4% of its annual EBITDA in excess of $42.5 million. On April 28, 2015, CLS Labs and the Company entered into an addendum to Mr. Binder’s employment agreement whereby Mr. Binder agreed that following the merger of CLS Labs and a subsidiary of the Company, in addition to his obligations to CLS Labs, he would serve the Company and its subsidiaries in such roles as the Company may request. In exchange, the Company agreed to assume the obligations of CLS Labs to grant Mr. Binder annual stock options, as referenced above. Mr. Binder continues to receive an annual salary of $150,000 from CLS Labs for serving as its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. My Binder has deferred all of the salary payable to him under his employment agreement through February 28, 2017. On July 20, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the Company issued Mr. Binder convertible notes in exchange for $250,000 and $112,500, respectively, in deferred salary, among other amounts owed to Mr. Binder by the Company. As of February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the Company had accrued compensation due to Mr. Binder in the amount of $112,500 and $250,000.
Effective August 1, 2015, the Company and Alan Bonsett entered into a five-year employment agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Bonsett commenced serving as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer on August 15, 2015. Under the agreement, Mr. Bonsett is entitled to receive an annual salary of $150,000. Further, he is entitled to receive a performance bonus equal to 2% of the Company’s annual EBITDA, up to a maximum annual cash compensation of $1 million (including his base salary), and annual stock options, exercisable at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, in an amount equal to 2% of its annual EBITDA up to $42.5 million and 4% of its annual EBITDA in excess of $42.5 million. Additionally, Mr. Bonsett received a one-time signing bonus of 250,000 (post Reverse-Split) shares of restricted common stock of the Company, valued at $327,500, which became fully vested one year from the effective date of the agreement. Mr. Bonsett, as an owner of PRH, will indirectly receive the benefits of the Colorado Arrangement, as discussed in Note 10. The business to be operated by PRH pursuant to the Colorado Arrangement has not yet produced revenues.
At February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the Company had accrued salary due to Michael Abrams, a former officer of the Company, prior to his September 1, 2015 termination, in the amount of $16,250 in accrued compensation on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Note 14 – Subsequent Events
During March 2017, Old Main, holder of convertible promissory notes, converted an aggregate of $37,500 of principal, in two transactions, into 857,808 shares of common stock.
On March 27, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment #3 to the Convertible Promissory Notes issued on March 18, April 22 and May 27, 2016 (the “Third Amendment”) to further amend the 2016 Convertible Notes in certain respects. In the Third Amendment, the Company agreed to (i) prepay all amounts due under the 10% Notes on or before April 1, 2017, which amount was agreed to be $372,669.95 (the “Settlement Amount”), and (ii) to increase the outstanding amount due under the 8% Note as of March 18, 2017 by 5%. In exchange for doing so, Old Main agreed to extend the maturity of the 8% Note until July 1, 2017 and to suspend conversions under the 8% Note until July 1, 2017. If we fail to pay the Settlement Amount on or before April 1, 2017, Old Main has the right to declare the Third Amendment null and void.
On March 31, 2017, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to Newcan Investment Partners LLC, an entity owned by Frank Koretsky, a director of the company, in the amount of $120,000, and to Jeffrey Binder, an officer and director of the Company, in the amount of $159,500 (the “Notes”), to finalize the terms of repayment with respect to certain loans made to the Company by Newcan Investment Partners LLC and Mr. Binder between January 1, 2017 and February 27, 2017, and certain compensation payable to Mr. Binder as of February 28, 2017. The Notes, which otherwise contain identical terms, are unsecured and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. No payments are required until April 1, 2018, at which time all accrued interest becomes due and payable. Principal will be paid in eight equal quarterly installments, together with interest accrued thereon, beginning on July 1, 2018. The Notes may be prepaid by the Company with no penalty at any time upon thirty days written notice.
The holder of each Note may, at any time prior to payment or prepayment in full, convert all principal and accrued interest thereunder, in whole or in part, into securities of the Company. For each $0.25 converted, the holder will receive one share of the Company’s common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.25 per share.
We evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued. We did not identify any additional material events or transactions occurring during this subsequent event reporting period that required further recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
We were incorporated on March 31, 2011 as Adelt Design, Inc. to manufacture and market carpet binding art. Production and marketing of carpet binding art never commenced. On November 20, 2014, we adopted amended and restated articles of incorporation, thereby changing our name to CLS Holdings USA, Inc. Effective December 10, 2014, we effected a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-0.625 (the “Reverse Split”), wherein 0.625 shares of our common stock were issued in exchange for each share of common stock issued and outstanding.
On April 29, 2015, the Company, CLS Labs and the Merger Sub consummated the merger, whereby the Merger Sub merged with and into CLS Labs, with CLS Labs remaining as the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, we acquired the business of CLS Labs and abandoned our previous business. As such, only the financial statements of CLS Labs are included in this annual report.
CLS Labs was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 1, 2014 under the name RJF Labs, Inc. before changing its name to CLS Labs, Inc. on October 24, 2014. It was formed to commercialize a proprietary method of extracting cannabinoids from cannabis plants and converting the resulting cannabinoid extracts into concentrates such as oils, waxes, edibles and shatter. These concentrates may be ingested in a number of ways, including through vaporization via electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarettes”), and used for a variety of pharmaceutical and other purposes. Testing in conjunction with two Colorado growers of this extraction method and conversion process has revealed that it produces a cleaner, higher quality product and a significantly higher yield than the cannabinoid extraction processes currently existing in the marketplace.
On April 17, 2015, CLS Labs took its first step toward commercializing its proprietary methods and processes by entering into the Colorado Arrangement through its wholly owned subsidiary, CLS Labs Colorado, with certain Colorado entities, including PRH. CLS Labs had not otherwise commercialized its proprietary process prior to the merger and has not earned any revenues.
We intend to generate revenue through (i) the licensing of our patent pending proprietary methods and processes to others, as in the Colorado Arrangement, (ii) the processing of cannabis for others, and (iii) the purchase of cannabis and the processing and sale of cannabis-related products. We plan to accomplish this through the creation of joint ventures, through licensing agreements, and through fee-for-service arrangements with growers and dispensaries of cannabis products. We believe that we can establish a position as one of the premier cannabinoid extraction and processing companies in the industry. Assuming we do so, we then intend to explore the creation of our own brand of concentrates for consumer use, which we would sell wholesale to cannabis dispensaries. We believe that we can create a “gold standard” national brand by standardizing the testing, compliance and labeling of our products in an industry currently comprised of small, local businesses with erratic and unreliable product quality, testing practices and labeling. We also plan to offer consulting services through a consulting subsidiary, CLS Consulting, which will generate revenue by providing consulting services to cannabis-related businesses, including growers, dispensaries and laboratories, and driving business to our processing facilities.
We had a net loss of $2,120,900 for the nine months ended February 28, 2017, resulting in an accumulated deficit as of February 28, 2017 of $6,246,786. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016
Revenues
The Company had no revenues during the three months periods ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $262,119 or approximately 65%, to $144,204 during the three months ended February 28, 2017, compared to $406,323 for the three months ended February 29, 2016. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of general office expenses, travel costs, rent expense, compensation costs, bank charges and payroll expenses. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in noncash compensation, travel and advertising expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as we implement our business plan and commence operations.
Professional fees
Professional fees decreased $243,951, or approximately 71%, to $99,867 during the three months ended February 28, 2017 compared to $343,818 for the three months ended February 29, 2016. This decrease was due primarily in the reduction of legal and investor relations fees for the three months ended February 28, 2017 compared to the prior period. We expect professional fees to increase in future periods as our business grows.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended February 28, 2017 was $381,149, an increase of $274,550 compared to $106,599 for the three months ended February 29, 2016. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in amortization of the discount on convertible debt, which was $308,606 during the current period compared to $81,116 for the prior year.
Change in fair value of derivative liability
During the three months ended February 28, 2017, Old Main, a holder of convertible promissory notes, converted an aggregate of $100,000 in principal, in six transactions, into 828,173 shares of commons stock. As a result, we revalued the derivative liability related to these convertible notes and at February 28, 2017. This revaluation resulted in a gain of $244,848, which we included in results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2017.
Net loss
For the reasons above, we had a net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2017 of $380,372, which is a decrease of $476,368, or approximately 56%, compared to a net loss of $856,740 during the three months ended February 29, 2016.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016
Revenues
The Company had no revenues during the nine months periods ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $435,655, or approximately 47%, to $482,071 during the nine months ended February 28, 2017, compared to $917,726 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of general office expenses, travel costs, rent expense, compensation costs, bank charges and payroll expenses. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in noncash compensation, travel and advertising expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as we implement our business plan and commence operations.
Professional fees
Professional fees decreased $164,322, or approximately 21%, to $603,098 during the nine months ended February 28, 2017 compared to $767,420 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016. This decrease was due primarily to the reduction of legal and investor relations fees for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 compared to the prior period. We expect professional fees to increase in future periods as our business grows.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 was $1,395,511, an increase of $1,218,047 compared to $177,464 for the nine months ended February 29, 2016. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in amortization of the discount on convertible debt, which was $1,197,998 during the current period compared to $114,489 for the prior year.
Loss on modification of debt
On November 28, 2016 we entered into an amendment with Old Main regarding the 10% Notes. In exchange for amending the terms of the 10% Notes we agreed to increase the outstanding principal balance by 10%, resulting in a loss on the modification of 10% Notes of $33,334, which we included in results of operation for the nine months ended February 28, 2017.
Change in fair value of derivative liability
As a result of the November 28, 2016 amendment to our 2016 Convertible Notes and the conversion of $100,000 in aggregate principal on the 2016 Convertible Notes, we revalued the derivative liability related to our 2016 Convertible Notes at February 28, 2017 at $167,372. This revaluation resulted in a gain of $393,114, which we included in results of operations for the nine months ended February 28, 2017.
Net loss
For the reasons above, we had a net loss for the nine months ended February 28, 2017 of $2,120,900, which is an increase in loss of $258,290, or approximately 14%, compared to a net loss of $1,862,610 during the nine months ended February 29, 2016.

At February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, we had a working capital deficit of $2,157,226 and $1,244,458, respectively. This working capital deficit occurred primarily because we have not yet commenced earning revenues. We anticipate that we will commence earning revenues in the next three months. During the nine months ended February 28, 2017, we obtained loans from our officers, directors and entities affiliated with Frank Koretsky, one of our directors, to cover operating expenses and expenses related to the Colorado Arrangement. This working capital deficit will likely continue to increase until we begin earning revenues but should not be viewed as an indicator of our future performance once we commence earning revenues. We have operated at a loss since inception.
Cash flows used in was $899,291 during the nine months ended February 28, 2017 compared to $871,924 during the nine months ended February 29, 2016. This increase is primarily due to the increase in the amount of amortization of debt discount associated with our convertible notes in the amount of $1,197,998, the increase in the change in fair value of the derivative liability associated with the 2016 Convertible Notes by $393,114, and the loss on modification of the 10% Notes in the amount of $33,334.
Cash flows used in investing activities used $35,013 during the nine months ended February 28, 2017 compared to $44,477 during the nine months ended February 29, 2016. During the nine months ended February 28, 2017, we used these funds toward construction of our Colorado facility.
Cash flows from financing activities provided $852,000 during the nine months ended February 28, 2017 compared to $737,750 during the nine months ended February 29, 2016. The increase in cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended February 28, 2017, was primarily due to our need to borrow additional funds from our officers, directors and entities affiliated with one of our directors, because we had not yet commenced earning revenue.
On April 29, 2015, we issued a convertible promissory note (the “April 2015 Note”) to an unaffiliated individual in the amount of $200,000. Interest accrues on the April 2015 Note at a rate of 15% per annum. On the first anniversary of the April 2015 Note, all then-accrued interest was due thereunder. Thereafter, principal together with accrued interest is due in eight (8) equal quarterly payments, in arrears, commencing on July 1, 2016. All outstanding principal and any accumulated unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the third anniversary of note. At the holder’s election, at any time prior to payment or prepayment of the April 2015 Note in full, all principal and accrued interest under the April 2015 Note may be converted in whole, but not in part, into our securities. For each dollar converted, the holder shall receive two shares of common stock and a three-year warrant to purchase 1.33 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. During the nine months ended February 28, 2017 we repaid $75,000 in principal and $49,265 in interest under this note. At February 28, 2017, we owed $127,187 in principal and accrued interest under the April 2015 Note.
On March 18, 2016, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Old Main, whereby Old Main agreed to purchase an aggregate of up to $500,000 in subscription amount corresponding to an aggregate of up to $555,555 in principal amount of 10% Original Issuance Discount Convertible Promissory Notes (the “10% Notes”) due, subject to the terms therein, in installments as set forth below. The purchase was originally to occur, at our option, in up to five tranches, with the first tranche of $200,000 being purchased on March 18, 2016; the second tranche of $50,000 being purchased on the first Friday, which is a trading day after the date (the “Filing Date”) that a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion or repayment of the 10% Notes, is filed with the SEC; the third tranche of $50,000 being purchased on the first Friday, which is a trading day at least three (3) trading days after the Company receives initial comments from the SEC on the Registration Statement, or the date that we are notified by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed; and the fourth and fifth tranches of $100,000 each being purchased after the date that the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC (the “SEC Effective Date”). On October 6, 2016, we amended the Purchase Agreement and related documents (the “First Amendment”) to reduce the aggregate principal amount under the 10% Notes from $555,555 to $333,333, all $300,000 in subscription amount of which has been funded and used by us for general working capital purposes. We also increased the interest rate of the 10% Notes from 10% to 15% effective August 1, 2016. Finally, pursuant to the First Amendment, we agreed with Old Main that we would not register the resale of the shares underlying the 2016 Convertible Notes, as defined below, pursuant to the Registration Statement but would utilize the Registration Statement solely to register the resale of shares of common stock sold by us to Old Main pursuant to the equity line agreement, as described below.
As a result of the First Amendment, effective September 1, 2016, we deferred the commencement of amortization payments on the 10% Notes by 30 days. As amended, at the earlier of October 18, 2016 or two (2) trading days after the SEC Effective Date, we must begin to redeem 1/24th of the face amount of the 10% Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest on a bi-weekly basis. Such amortization payment may be made, at our option, in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in our common stock pursuant to a conversion rate equal to the lower of (a) $0.80 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) or (b) 75% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock of (the “VWAP”) in the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date. At any time after the issue date of the Notes, the holder may convert the 10% Notes into shares of our common stock at the holder’s option. The conversion price will be the Fixed Conversion Price. Subject to certain exclusions, if we sell or issues its common stock or certain common stock equivalents at an effective price per share that is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price, the conversion price will be reduced to equal to such lower price.
On November 28, 2016, we entered into a Second Amendment to the 10% Notes issued on March 18, April 22 and May 27, 2016 (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Agreements, as amended by the First Amendment, in certain respects. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, among other things, the 10% Notes were converted from installment notes to “balloon” notes, with all principal and interest on the 10% Notes due on September 18, 2017 and the outstanding principal balances of the 10% Notes were increased by 10%; the Fixed Conversion Prices associated with the 10% Notes were changed to variable conversion prices equal to the lesser of the prior Fixed Conversion Price or 75% of the lowest VWAP in the fifteen trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date; our ability to repay the Notes with our common stock was deleted except pursuant to a voluntary conversion by Old Main; and Old Main was prohibited from selling, per trading day, an amount of our common stock in excess of the greater of $5,000 or 25% of the average number of shares of common stock sold per day for the five trading days preceding the day of sale multiplied by the average daily VWAP during the immediately preceding 5-trading day period.
On March 27, 2017, we entered into Amendment #3 to the Convertible Promissory Notes issued on March 18, April 22 and May 27, 2016 (the “Third Amendment”) to further amend the Agreements, as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment, in certain respects. In the Third Amendment, we agreed, among other things, to prepay all amounts due under the 10% Notes on or before April 1, 2017, which amount was agreed to be $372,669.95 (the “Settlement Amount”). If we fail to pay the Settlement Amount on or before April 1, 2017, Old Main has the right to declare the Third Amendment null and void.
During the three months ended February 28, 2017, Old Main converted an aggregate of $100,000 in principal of the 10% Notes, in six transactions, into 828,173 share of common stock.
On March 18, 2016, we also issued Old Main an 8% Convertible Promissory Note (the “8% Note”) in the principal amount of $200,000 for Old Main’s commitment to enter into an equity line transaction with us and prepare all of the related transaction documents. The 8% Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. As a result of the First Amendment, we also deferred the commencement of amortization payments on the 8% Note so that they now commence at the earlier of February 3, 2017 or on the SEC Effective Date. On such date, we must begin to redeem 1/6th of the face amount of the 8% Note and any accrued but unpaid interest on a monthly basis. Such amortization payment may be made, at the option of the Company, in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in common stock of the Company pursuant to a conversion rate equal to the lower of (a) $1.07 (the “8% Note Fixed Conversion Price”) or (b) 75% of the lowest VWAP in the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the applicable conversion date. Subject to certain exclusions, if we sell or issue our common stock or certain common stock equivalents at an effective price per share that is lower than the 8% Note Fixed Conversion Price, the conversion price will be reduced to equal to such lower price.
On November 28, 2016, we entered into a Second Amendment to the 8% Note issued on March 18 (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Agreements, as amended by the First Amendment, in certain respects. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, among other things, the 8% Notes were converted from installment notes to “balloon” notes, with all principal and interest on the 8% Notes due on March 18, 2017; the Fixed Conversion Prices associated with the 8% Notes were changed to variable conversion prices equal to the lesser of the prior Fixed Conversion Price or 75% of the lowest VWAP in the fifteen trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date; our ability to repay the Notes with our common stock was deleted except pursuant to a voluntary conversion by Old Main; and Old Main was prohibited from selling, per trading day, an amount of our common stock in excess of the greater of $5,000 or 25% of the average number of shares of common stock sold per day for the five trading days preceding the day of sale multiplied by the average daily VWAP during the immediately preceding 5-trading day period.
On March 27, 2017, we entered into the Third Amendment, which, among other things, increased the outstanding amount due under the 8% Note as of March 18, 2017 by 5%. In exchange for doing so, Old Main agreed to extend the maturity of the 8% Note until July 1, 2017 and to suspend conversions under the 8% Note until July 1, 2017. If we fail to pay the Settlement Amount on or before April 1, 2017, Old Main has the right to declare the Third Amendment null and void.
On April 18, 2016, we also entered into an equity line agreement with Old Main whereby we may issue and sell to Old Main, at our option from time to time, up to $4,000,000 of our common stock at a purchase price equal to 80% of the lowest VWAP of the common stock during a five day “Valuation Period.”
On October 6, 2016, we entered into an amendment of the Equity Purchase Agreement to amend the new Commitment Period, which is 24 months from the date of this amendment. Second, the Equity Purchase Agreement was amended to prohibit us from delivering a subsequent Put Notice from the beginning of any “Valuation Period” until the fourth Trading Day immediately following the closing associated with the prior Put Notice. Third, the beneficial ownership limitation was amended to increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% and to remove the ability of the Investor to increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
During July 2016, we issued convertible promissory notes in favor of Mr. Koretsky and Mr. Binder. These notes represent deferred salary of $250,000 due to Mr. Binder and prior advances in the amount of $12,750 from Mr. Binder, and $210,000 in advances from Mr. Koretsky, being reclassified as convertible notes payable. These notes are unsecured and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. No payments are required until July 1, 2017, at which time all accrued interest becomes due and payable. Principal will be paid in eight equal quarterly installments, together with accrued interest, beginning on October 1, 2017. At the note holder’s election, at any time prior to payment or prepayment of the loans in full, all principal and accrued interest under the loans may be converted, in whole or in part, into our securities. Upon such an election, the holder will receive one “Unit” for each $1.07 converted, with each Unit consisting of one (1) share of common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase (1) share of common stock at a price of $1.07 per share.
On August 3, 2016, we borrowed $150,000 from CLS CO 2016, an entity affiliated with Mr. Koretsky. This note is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum. All interest accruing during the first year will be added to principal. Commencing on November 1, 2017, principal will be payable in four equal quarterly installments, together with accrued interest. At the note holder’s election, at any time prior to payment or prepayment of the loan in full, all principal and accrued interest under the loan may be converted, in whole or in part, into our securities. Upon such an election, the holder will receive one “Unit” for each $1.07 converted, with each Unit consisting of one (1) share of common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase (1) share of common stock at a price of $1.07 per share.
On January 10, 2017, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to Newcan Investment Partners LLC, an entity owned solely by Frank Koretsky, who is a director of the Company, in the amount of $410,000 and $50,000 and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum thereafter. No payments are required until January 2, 2018, at which time all accrued interest becomes due and payable. Commencing on April 1, 2018, principal will be payable in eight equal quarterly installments, together with accrued interest. At the note holder’s election, at any time prior to payment or prepayment of the loan in full, all principal and accrued interest under the loan may be converted, in whole or in part, into our securities. Upon such an election, the holder will receive one “Unit” for each $1.07 converted, with each Unit consisting of one (1) share of common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase (1) share of common stock at a price of $1.07 per share.
On March 31, 2017, we issued convertible promissory notes to Newcan Investment Partners LLC, an entity owned by Frank Koretsky, a director of the company, in the amount of $120,000 (the “Koretsky Note”), and to Jeffrey Binder, an officer and director of the Company, in the amount of $159,500 (the “Binder Note” and, together with the Koretsky Note, the “Notes”), to finalize the terms of repayment with respect to certain loans made to the Company by Newcan Investment Partners LLC and Mr. Binder between January 1, 2017 and February 27, 2017, and certain compensation payable to Mr. Binder as of February 28, 2017. The Notes, which otherwise contain identical terms, are unsecured and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. No payments are required until April 1, 2018, at which time all accrued interest becomes due and payable. Principal will be paid in eight equal quarterly installments, together with interest accrued thereon, beginning on July 1, 2018. The Notes may be prepaid by the Company with no penalty at any time upon thirty days written notice.
The holder of each Note may, at any time prior to payment or prepayment in full, convert all principal and accrued interest thereunder, in whole or in part, into securities of the Company. For each $.25 converted, the holder will receive one share of the Company’s common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.25 per share.
Over the next twelve months we will require significant additional capital to cover our projected cash flow deficits due to the Colorado Arrangement and related agreements, the repayment of the April 2015 Note, payments on the 2016 Convertible Notes, payments on the loans from Jeffrey Binder and Frank Koretsky, the implementation of our business plan, and the development of alternative revenue sources. Additionally, we anticipate that we will devote resources to research and development related to the refinement of our patent pending proprietary methods and processes and development of new products. We estimate research and development costs of between $50,000 and $100,000 during the next 12 months. Finally, during the next 18-24 months, we plan to construct and open two to three processing facilities for use either by a licensee or by us directly. We anticipate that the build out and opening of each processing facility will require between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 in capital, with additional capital required for liquidity to cover personnel, equipment, and other operating expenses with respect to each opened facility.
