When marijuana is rescheduled and banking regulations change i believe that they will be ready to uplist. Approving the r/s for 2018 gives them the option to move to the nasdaq if the time is right. To do this they must meet a certain pps which is why the r/s is necessary.
They had 10,000,000 in cash over the last two quarters and it would be very hard to believe that the dispensaries aren't cash flow positive right now, so there is no way the would r/s for financing, only for an uplist.
Look on pg 26 of the 10k. Rent for the three Vegas locations are very cheap- roughly 4,800, 8,500, and 6,000 and we own the Reno building and rent the upstairs to a yoga studio.
They are retailing some strains for 20 dollars a gram right now. That retails out to ~9,000 per pound and a cost of 2,500, which equals 6,500 per pound. Oakland and San Leandro will be recreational soon and see a drastic increase in revenue, although Oakland already serves 1,000 per day.
