- Capital requirements; Dilution.

The competition could have a material adverse effect on the Business and the Company’s economic prospects.
- Litigation. The Company may be subjected to unforeseen litigation regarding its Business and related products and services and such litigation would be costly to defend or pursue and is uncertain in its outcome. The Company’s operations may bring it into conflict with those with whom it has contractual or other business relationships, or with potential competitors or others whose interests differ from those of the Company.
- Application of proceeds. The Company’s Directors have broad discretion over the use and allocation of investment proceeds, and such proceeds may be used in a manner that does not result in a positive return on investment to the Company.

Onside Compliance
Executive Summary Business Plan
Introduction
Owned by Onside Compliance, Inc., ProCanna is a subscription-based compliance and knowledge management software-as-a-service platform designed to serve the growing U.S. and Canadian medical and adult-use cannabis and hemp industries. Dede Perkins, a regulatory and communications professional with over seven years of experience working with cannabis companies across the United States, and Tony Perkins, a business and technology attorney who has worked with software leaders in the national and international markets for over twenty years, incorporated the Portland, Maine-based company in January 2020. Onside Compliance is in the process of raising the initial round of funding in order to continue building the ProCanna platform, which Onside seeks to launch in the fourth quarter of 2020. Onside has been approved to participate in Maine’s Seed Capital Tax Credit Program.
The Problem & Market Opportunity
Specific Issue
Winning a coveted cannabis facility license is both a gift and a challenge. After winning a sought-after license, many cannabis executives and managers struggle to develop standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) that are simultaneously compliant with state and local regulations and reasonable “on the ground.” Those who succeed are then faced with an ongoing challenge: implementing and maintaining those SOPs on a day-to-day basis in order to maintain licensure and multi-million-dollar revenues. Two recent cases illustrate the consequences for non-compliance:
- In July 2020, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission fined 4Front Ventures-backed Healthy Pharms, which does business under the “Mission” brand of dispensaries, $350,000 for illegal use of pesticides and failure to report that plants tested positive for certain illegal substances.
- In July 2020, the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board approved an agreement to revoke licenses from CW Nevada and force the company to pay $1.25 million in penalties to settle allegations that the company had unrecorded cannabis, sold cannabis that appeared to be untested, and destroyed evidence.
As the industry matures and the number of people consuming cannabis products increases, the health and agriculture departments responsible for ensuring regulatory compliance will receive additional funding and increased pressure to keep the public safe from products produced and handled by non-compliant cultivators, processors, testers, and retailers. Owners of single-facility licenses as well as multi-state, vertically integrated cannabis companies need to find a logical and easily executed process to comply with complex and evolving state and local regulations, as well as increasingly proprietary internal policies and procedures developed to streamline operations, improve product quality, and differentiate brand. These regulations, policies, and procedures address all aspects of operations from facility design, construction, safety, and security, to HIPAA-compliant recordkeeping, product quality assurance, employee training, proper waste destruction and disposal procedures and more.
Market Size and Scope
The global cannabis market size is projected to grow from $57.18 billion in 2023 to $444.34 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 34.03% during the forecast period. https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/industry-reports/cannabis-marijuana-market-100219
The Onside Solution
Onside Compliance has developed ProCanna, a user-friendly, cloud-based desktop and mobile software tool designed to utilize a user-friendly data management and question and answer compliance format that enables end-users to:
- Stay current with and adapt to changing state and local regulations;
- Train employees on evolving SOPs to maintain compliant operations;
- Audit and document compliance with state and local regulations;
- Manage and develop internal operational protocols;
- Manage company-wide data relating to these operational and compliance protocols;
- Audit and document compliance with internal policies and SOPs; and
- Deliver reports to customizable end-user groups ranging from upper management, owners and investors, to state-level inspectors and regulatory bodies.
ProCanna’s user-friendly, intuitive interface is designed to track compliance or non-compliance with all state and local regulations and manage all related data and documentation, including:
- Advertising and marketing
- Chain of custody
- Cultivation procedures
- Customer education
- Employee training
- HIPAA-compliant recordkeeping
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
- Inventory management
- Packaging and labeling
- Processing procedures
- Quality assurance
- Quality control
- Sales and returns
- Sanitation
- Security
- Testing Protocols
- Transportation
- Waste destruction and disposal
Mid- and upper-level management will be able to customize ProCanna’s integrated dashboard to:
- Request, receive, respond to and manage compliance activities and reporting undertaken by employees
- Train employees on standard operating procedures
- Problem-solve SOP issues among managers and/or workgroups
- Test and track existing and new operational processes and procedures
- Seek advice/approval from upper management before implementing new compliant procedures
- Prepare for state and local inspections and regulatory compliance audits, flagging and correcting non-compliant policies and procedures before they become an issue that threatens medical cannabis patients, adult-use consumers, and business revenues
- Generate reports for executives, investors, business partners and compliance authorities
Executives and other authorized individuals will be able to customize ProCanna’s integrated dashboard to stay abreast of what’s happening “on-the-ground”, requesting, receiving, and sharing reports that may include uploaded documents, images, video, and/or sound recordings in order to track and evaluate day-to-day activity within their facilities, determining effectiveness of policies and procedures in being compliant with state and local rules and regulations and in meeting company goals and standards.
Total Addressable Market
Cannabis company owners and operators with cultivation, processing, dispensary, retail, testing, distribution, and transport facilities, as well as the bankers, insurers, and investors who financially support them and stand to lose if companies are fined, forced to implement remedial measures, or shut down due to non-compliance issues, will be prospects for the ProCanna solution.
Serviceable Total Addressable Market
While the ProCanna platform will work for all cannabis facilities, from single-facility operators to large publicly traded, multi-state operators, ProCanna sales representatives will target mid-market multiple-facility cannabis facility owners and operators within particular states and provinces.
Competition
Simplifya is a cannabis compliance tool developed in 2016 by Vincente Sederberg, a national law firm providing legal and policy services to companies operating in the cannabis and hemp industries.
The industry is also served by a number of cannabis compliance consulting firms that offer services such as customized development of compliant standard operating policies and procedures.
While these solutions offer stressed and frustrated cannabis professionals a regulatory compliance lifeline, none provides a complete tool to independently and confidently manage, maintain, improve and share proof of compliant operations in a cost-effective way.

November 2021 through Q1 of 2022 – Crowdfunding SAFE offering under Regulation CF via WeFunder platform. This offering raised $65,000 which was used for general operations and continuing software development.
June 2022 – Convertible Debt offering pursuant to 506(b) of Regulation D. This offering raised $650,000 which was used for general operations and continuing software development.
The Company has not engaged in any further Crowdfunding offerings and has no current plans to do so in the future.
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE ISSUER
The Company continues to operate at a loss as it continues to develop its ProCanna software platform and penetrate state markets across the United States. The financial downturn in the general economy and in the cannabis markets, in particular, during 2022 and 2023 have created a difficult operating environment for the Company’s targeted customers. That financial stress has created market challenges for the Company which likely will continue well into 2024. Recent trends appear to be somewhat positive but the outlook remains difficult until certain federal actions such as federal banking authorization and rescheduling of cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance are completed. It is uncertain when Congress will enact a federal banking act for cannabis businesses and when the DEA will reschedule cannabis to Schedule III as recommended by the Department of Health and Human Services in late 2023.
The Company will continue to explore options for raising investment capital later in 2024, including convertible debt and possibly a priced equity round of funding. The funds raised, if any, will continue to support the ongoing software development and the general operations. The founders of the Company continue to provide financial support as needed via the Company’s convertible debt funding program.
Further discussion of the United States cannabis market and the Company’s operation in that market are set out in the business summary included with this report.
