Business Divested
On October 26, 2022, the Company executed a membership interest purchase agreement to sell 100% of the membership interests of Infusionz LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Infusionz”), included in the sale was all rights to Infusionz brands and the manufacturing of certain private label business. Infusionz was originally purchased by the Company in July of 2020. The divestiture of Infusionz and related private label manufacturing represents a strategic shift in our operations and will allow us to become a predominantly product distribution focused company for both our Company owned brands and non-owned brands. Accordingly, the results of the business were classified as discontinued operations in our condensed statements of operations and excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of annual results.
Discontinued Operations
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or that is classified as held for sale, which represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of options and is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate line of business or geographical area of operations. In accordance with the rules regarding the presentation of discontinued operations, the assets, liabilities, and activity of Infusionz and certain manufacturing business have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguished between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumption about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
ASC 820 identified fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between the following:
Level 1—Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted market prices, interest rates and yield curves.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs developed using estimates or assumptions developed by the Company, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized as Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, management believed it necessary to record a reserve against the debt and equity instruments obtained in the sale of Infusionz of $8,500,000.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 to conform to the presentation as of and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

A summary of stock option activity is as follows:
| | | | | Weighted | | | Average | | | | |
| | | | | Average | | | Remaining | | | Aggregated | |
| | Options | | | Exercise | | | Contractual | | | Intrinsic | |
| | Outstanding | | | Price | | | Life (Years) | | | Value | |

Stock-based compensation expense attributable to stock options was $1,019,883 and $670,098 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense attributable to stock options was $3,000,057 and $1,940,651 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 there was $3,154,841 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options outstanding, and the weighted average vesting period for those options was approximately 1.75 years.
The value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option model with the following assumptions for options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2023:
| | March 31, 2023 | |
Dividend rate | | | - | |
Risk free interest rate | | 2.07–4.06 | % |
Expected term | | | 5 | |
Expected volatility | | 70-77 | % |
Grant date stock price | | $3.87 - $5.30 | |
The basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend rate is based upon the Company’s history of dividends; the risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the expected term was calculated based on the Company’s historical pattern of options granted and the period of time they are expected to be outstanding; and expected volatility was calculated based upon historical trends in the Company’s stock prices.
Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated forfeitures at 0% for each of the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Note 13. Income Taxes
The Company computed the year-to-date income tax provision by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusted for discrete tax items in the period. The Company’s income tax benefit was $496,880 and $449,828 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s income tax benefit was $1,351,686 and $1,116,653 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.
The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily attributable to federal and state income taxes and nondeductible expenses for an effective tax rate of approximately 20.67%. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the difference between the U.S. statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are the book to tax differences and the net operating loss allocation at the state income tax level.
Future realization of the tax benefits of existing temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative. The Company also considered whether there was any currently available information about future years. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will have future taxable income to fully realize the Company’s deferred tax asset.
As of March 31, 2023, there was approximately $3,600,000 of losses available to reduce federal taxable income in future years and can be carried forward indefinitely.
Note 14. Risks and Uncertainties
There is substantial uncertainty and different interpretations among federal, state and local regulatory agencies, legislators, academics and businesses as to the scope of operation of Farm Bill-compliant hemp programs relative to the emerging regulation of cannabinoids. These different opinions include, but are not limited to, the regulation of cannabinoids by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, and/or the FDA and the extent to which manufacturers of products containing Farm Bill-compliant cultivators and processors may engage in interstate commerce. The uncertainties cannot be resolved without further federal, and perhaps even state-level, legislation, regulation or a definitive judicial interpretation of existing legislation and rules. If these uncertainties continue, they may have an adverse effect upon the introduction of our products in different markets.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 around the world has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies and, as such, the Company has transition to a combination of work from home and social distancing operations and there has been minimal impact to our internal operations from the transition. The Company is unable to determine if there will be a material future impact to its customers’ operations and ultimately an impact to the Company’s overall revenues.
