Description of Business

Akerna Corp. (the "Company" or "Akerna"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary MJ Freeway, LLC ("MJF") is a regulatory compliance and inventory management technology company. The Company's proprietary software platform is adaptable for industries in which interfacing with government regulatory agencies for compliance purposes is required, or where the tracking of organic materials from seed or plant to end products is desired. The Company developed products intended to assist states in monitoring licensed businesses' compliance with state regulations, and to help state-licensed businesses operate in compliance with such law. The Company provides its regulatory software platform, Leaf Data Systems®, to state government regulatory agencies, and its commercial software platform, MJ Platform®, to state-licensed businesses.

The accompanying financial statements and related notes reflect the historical results of MJF prior to the mergers completed in June 2019 ("the Mergers") with MTech Acquisition Corp. ("MTech") and other related entities, which resulted in the combined company, and do not include the historical results of MTech prior to the completion of the Mergers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses, used cash from operations, and relied on capital raising transactions to continue ongoing operations. Although we have continuing negative cash flow from operations, the Company anticipates that its current cash will be sufficient to meet the working capital requirements for the next twelve months.  From time to time, we may pursue various strategic business opportunities.  These opportunities may include investment in or ownership of additional technology companies through direct investments, acquisitions, joint ventures and other arrangements.  We are currently exploring such opportunities and have entered into three non-binding letters of intent.  We can provide no assurance that we will successfully identify such opportunities or that, if we identify and pursue any of these opportunities, any of them will be consummated.  Consequently, the Company may raise additional equity or debt capital or enter into arrangements to secure necessary financing to fund the completion of such strategic business opportunities, although no assurance can be provided that we will be successful in completing a future capital raise.  The sale of additional equity could result in additional dilution to the Company's existing stockholders, and financing arrangements may not be available to us, or may not be available in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms. Our future operating performance will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 for a discussion of the risks related to our liquidity and capital structure.
