Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX:TRTC) has changed its name to Unrivaled Brands, Inc. following its completed merger with UMBRLA, Inc. As part of its rebranding, Terra Tech will start trading under its new ticker symbol, “UNRV”, on the OTCQX market at the market opening on Thursday, July 8, 2021.

The company’s CEO, Frank Knuettel II, said, “We are pleased to have successfully closed the merger with Unrivaled as we expected. We believe the synergies with Unrivaled’s existing brand portfolio and distribution operations in multiple states will lead to greater scale and produce meaningful economic and operational benefits. We look forward to integrating our businesses and expanding the Company’s platform.”

The merger with Unrivaled brings together two California-based companies with combined operations in California, Oregon and Nevada. Collectively, the company operates a broad array of cannabis assets involving cultivation, distribution, brands, processing, and dispensaries. The combined portfolio includes well-respected brands in cannabis, including Korova, Sticks, Cabana, Blüm and The Spot.

Knuettel added, “Additionally, as part of the merger, we are excited to launch our new corporate identity, rebranding the Company to Unrivaled Brands, Inc., which we believe aligns with our goal of becoming the premier cannabis multi-state operator in the West. Based on our growth trajectories and new operations coming online during 2021, we believe that on a combined basis the Company will generate revenues in excess of $70 million in 2021 and be cashflow positive in Q4 of 2021. Putting approximately $40 million in cash on our balance sheet following the monetization of our Hydrofarm investment, the close of this important transaction and the ongoing restructuring of our balance sheet and operations, we believe we’ve never been in a stronger position to create sustainable shareholder value.”

In California, Unrivaled Brands operates three dispensaries, a state-wide distribution network, company-owned brands, and a cultivation facility and has two additional cultivation facilities and a dispensary under development. In Oregon, it operates a state-wide distribution network and company-owned brands. In Nevada, by way of a joint venture, Unrivaled Brands operates a cultivation and manufacturing facility.

This week has been unusually active as cannabis companies have been on a major buying spree.

Schwazze

Schwazze, which used to be known as Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (OTCQX: SHWZ) closed on the asset purchase of the five Star Buds dispensaries located in Colorado that it had not already previously bought.

Schwazze now owns and operates all 13 Star Buds locations in Colorado and its retail footprint now includes 17 dispensary locations in the Denver metro and southern Colorado region.

For 2020, the 13 Star Buds retail dispensaries generated total revenue of approximately $70 million and net income in the range of approximately 40% of revenue. Together with Schwazze and the proforma revenue for 2020 Mesa Organics Ltd, acquired by Schwazze in April 2020, total 2020 proforma revenue is estimated to be approximately $95 million on a combined basis.

We are thrilled to be joining the team and continuing to work together to accelerate development of the innovative products our customers demand.”

Terra Tech

Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX: TRTC) said it was buying cannabis company UMBRLA, Inc., which was recently rebranded as Unrivaled for an undisclosed amount. Unrivaled is a swiftly growing and well-run diversified cannabis company comprised of several highly recognized cannabis brands complemented by distribution, manufacturing, and dispensary operations. Unrivaled brands include Korova, a top ten cannabis brand in California, among a strong portfolio across categories and price points.

Terra Tech’s CEO, Frank Knuettel II, said, “We are very pleased to have entered into this mutually beneficial transaction which leads to immediate scale, driven by strong brands and revenue growth. Unrivaled has grown markedly since inception, led by a strong management team, including Dallas Imbimbo, co-founder of KushCo Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: KSHB) and Unrivaled. We intend to integrate Unrivaled’s management team into Terra Tech, whose robust leadership is capable of executing on high revenue growth and additional accretive acquisitions.”

Unrivaled operates manufacturing and distribution operations in both California and Oregon and dispensaries in California. Unrivaled owns and manages one of the largest distribution networks on the west coast with over 700 in-network dispensaries throughout Oregon and California, into which Unrivaled sells both its own brands and third-party brands across all major categories: flower products, vape cartridges, extracts, and edibles.

Knuettel added, “Following the restructuring of our balance sheet and bringing in new capital in January, this is the first of our anticipated strategic acquisitions building on the foundation formed by my predecessors. Our short-term goal is to become the premier West Coast and Southwest operator of cannabis assets with a focus on brands and dispensaries. Based on our growth trajectories and new operations coming online during 2021, we believe that the combined companies will generate revenues in excess of $70 million in 2021.”

Unrivaled CEO Dallas Imbimbo said, “Over the last two years Unrivaled has brought together some of the most well-respected brands in cannabis with Korova, LTRMN, Sticks, Cabana and The Spot. Terra Tech’s retail and cultivation assets perfectly complement Unrivaled’s modern brand portfolio, sophisticated R&D and state-of-the-art tech stack. Our mission continues to become the leading-edge global cannabis operator, and this merger will accelerate that path significantly. We would like to give a huge thank you to the Unrivaled team for their dedication and relentless pursuit of our goals.”

Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX: TRTC) reported that its revenues for the year ending in December dropped to approximately $31.33 million versus last year’s approximately $35.80 million. The company blamed the drop on “the significant level of taxes that the State of California placed on cannabis sales which depressed the overall legal cannabis market.” Terra Tech did not break out its fourth-quarter earnings in the press release.

The company also delivered a 2018 net loss of approximately $39.8 million or $0.56 per share compared to a loss of approximately $32.7 million or $0.71 per share for 2017. Expenses also rose as SG&A for 2018 was approximately $43.30 million versus 2017’s $30.80 million.

“We faced several headwinds in 2018 that slowed our progress and impacted top-line results,” commented Derek Peterson, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Tech. “These challenges included navigating the changing regulations in the State of California, which affected sales from our retail businesses in the state, Blüm Oakland and Blüm Santa Ana. Our capacity to generate wholesale revenues in California was also impacted by the regulations which required us to relocate and upgrade our IVXX™ cannabis production to a new facility, effectively halting production in some months.”

“While these factors created challenges for us in 2018, they also drove us to make investments in cultivation and manufacturing infrastructure that will enable us to scale production and achieve greater IVXX™ distribution in California in 2019. The upgraded facility in Oakland, California is nearly complete and will support a ramp in production starting in Q2 2019. Other initiatives to drive revenue growth in the state include the anticipated launch of a branded delivery system in California, and our plans to establish a pop-up retail experience,” continued Mr. Peterson.

“In conjunction with these growth initiatives, we are also implementing strategies to improve fiscal responsibility and improve our bottom line in 2019. This includes streamlining our operations and headcount to mitigate operational burn and completing an assessment of all our assets to explore opportunities to sell certain lower performing assets and redirect resources into accretive opportunities. This strategy will also allow us to avoid accessing the capital markets for funding in the second half of 2019.

The company had $7.19 million in cash as of December 31, 2018, compared with $5.45 million as of December 31, 2017. The company said it had no short-term debt as of December 31, 2018, and that its long term debt was $18.3 million as of December 31, 2018, compared with $6.6 million as of December 31, 2017.

Following the end of the year, Terra Tech agreed to acquire the remainder of the interest in the Blüm Reno dispensary and the building where the facility is located from Forever Green NV and Forever Young Investments, LLC, affiliates of Heidi Loeb Hegerich. The transfer of those interests is subject to the approval of the Nevada Department of Taxation, which the Company expects to receive in approximately 60-90 days. The company also entered into a settlement agreement with Forever Green, Forever Young Investments and Ms. Hegerich to settle the lawsuit between them and the company.

Debra BorchardtDecember 18, 2018

The war between Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC) and its investor Heidi Loeb Hegerich is heating up. The first attack began with a lawsuit filed last week by the Reno, Nevada woman claiming fraud. Loeb Hegerich entered into a partnership with Terra Tech and became a co-owner of a Blum dispensary in midtown Reno. Loeb made some 50 different claims in the case and ultimately is unhappy that she hasn’t received any money back from her investment.

Among the claims, she says she contributed $633,156, and Terra Tech has only contributed $513,706, which was not as much as they had originally agreed to invest. Loeb also claims that Terra Tech’s financials weren’t audited properly as the company claimed and that funds were commingled with other joint ventures. The lawsuit notes that in March 2018, Terra Tech’s accounting firm Macias Gini & O’Connell issued an Adverse Opinion on Terra Tech’s internal financial controls.

The 80-page lawsuit goes on to describes various financial mishaps by CEO Derek Peterson and claims that the CFO Michael James has been involved in three companies that resulted in total shareholder wipeouts.

The lawsuit also details numerous bankruptcies by Terra Tech executives, which Loeb claims wasn’t disclosed to her prior to becoming partners. Loeb also claims that Terra Tech has tried to oust her from the company.

Terra Tech issued a statement on Tuesday after the market closed refuting her claims.

Terra Tech said it will defend itself vigorously against the meritless claims filed in the State of Nevada. The company strongly denies these allegations and would like to highlight that these are only allegations by a business partner which have not been proven. Terra Tech also intends to pursue numerous counter-claims against Ms. Hegerich.

Terra Tech Chairman and CEO, Derek Peterson said, “Far from the image portrayed in recent interviews, Heidi Loeb Hegerich is, in fact, a wealthy, sophisticated investor with a history of disputes with business partners. We reaffirm our commitment to our shareholders to correct any misleading and inaccurate reports and remain committed to providing accurate information to our investors.”

The statement went on to say, “Ms. Hegerich’s lawsuit and recent interviews are an attempt to manipulate Terra Tech into paying money she is not owed. As Ms. Hegerich is well-aware, her allegations ignore the significant investment and expertise required to obtain a license and build out a retail facility. In fact, Terra Tech actually funded over 2.9 times the amount invested by Ms. Hegerich, including buying all of the product inventory to open the location and carrying operating losses until the opening of recreational sales.”

Ms. Hegerich believes the company tried to push her out of the company, but Terra Tech’s point of view is that it offered to purchase her share of the business at a greater than eight times return on her investment within two years.

With regards to the auditing of the company’s financials, Terra Tech said it “Is a publicly traded company audited by one of the largest accounting firms in the US. Additionally, MediFarm I has engaged an independent third-party accounting firm to review the books and records for the Reno business. Any allegations against the Company’s accounting practices are completely baseless in fact or evidence.” Terra Tech also claims that the accounting firm didn’t actually file an Adverse Opinion.

Golden Leaf

In the middle of this battle of words, Golden Leaf decided against pursuing a potential transaction with Terra Tech as it announced on November 5. Lucky for them it was a nonbinding agreement.

Terra Tech reported that for the last nine months ending September 30, the company reported a net loss of $34 million. The company had revenues of $24 million, but expenses of $25 million.

The company is currently involved in a lawsuit with regards to its subsidiary Edible Gardens and former partners. No doubt expenses will rise for Terra Tech as it fights multiple lawsuits.

Golden Leaf Holdings (OTCQB:GLDFF) announced it was merging with Terra Tech Corp. (TRTC) after the company reported rising losses in the third quarter. The Canadian-based cannabis company with operations in Oregon, Nevada and Canada delivered quarterly revenues of $5.1 million for Q3 2018, compared to $3.1 million for Q3 2017.

The net loss for Q3 2018 was $5.5 million or $0.01 per share loss, compared with a net loss of $3.2 million or $0.01 per share loss, for Q3 2017. The losses for the quarter increased primarily due to the changes in fair value of biological assets and warrant liability. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 was a loss of US$2.9 million primarily driven by production costs and operating expenses.

Mr. William Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Leaf Holdings, commented, “Our third quarter revenue reached yet another record, achieving US$5.1 million, primarily driven by sale of flower in Canada after we received our Canadian Sales license from Health Canada, and seasonal improvements in our Oregon Retail revenue and the addition of two new Retail stores in Oregon when compared to the third quarter 2017. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 was a loss of US$2.9 million primarily driven by production costs and operating expenses.

Gross profits also fell and were only $0.4 million or 9% of net revenue for Q3 2018, compared with US$0.7 million or 23% of net revenue for Q3 2017. Q3 2018 gross margins decreased primarily due to non-cash valuation of biological assets.

Terra Tech Corp. signed a non-binding letter of intent to merge with Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. saying that a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Tech will amalgamate with Golden Leaf, with the resulting amalgamated corporation being a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Tech.

Derek Peterson, CEO of Terra Tech, commented, “We are planning to merge with Golden Leaf’s operations because its seed-to-sale business model is complementary to ours, encompassing both the Oregon and Canadian market which represent new markets for us, and touching Nevada where we are focused on gaining market share. Its ‘Chalice Farms’ retail dispensaries are well known and have an excellent reputation in Oregon, and the wholesale side of the business offers diverse, high quality cannabis products for all demographics, which are complementary to our existing wholesale product lines. This transaction, if completed, will create a combined company that will control 41 permits across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and retail spanning Oregon, California and Nevada, in addition to 21 pending permit applications in multiple jurisdictions throughout the U.S.”

The LOI stated that Golden Leaf shareholders would receive 0.1203 common shares of Terra Tech for each common share of Golden Leaf held. Terra Tech currently has 79.2 million shares outstanding. As a condition of closing, Terra Tech will be required to list its shares on the CSE. Listing will be subject to satisfying all of the CSE’s requirements. Upon closing, Derek Peterson will remain in his position as CEO, with William Simpson to become President of the combined company.

As of September 30, 2018, Golden Leaf had approximately $20.1 million in current assets, compared with $11.6 million in current assets at December 31, 2017. The increase is largely because of the bought deal financing which was completed on January 31, 2018,
