Cronos Group Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts)
1. Background, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Background
Cronos Group Inc. (“Cronos” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) with principal executive offices at 111 Peter St., Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2H1. The Company’s common shares are currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “CRON.”
Cronos is an innovative global cannabinoid company committed to building disruptive intellectual property by advancing cannabis research, technology and product development. With a passion to responsibly elevate the consumer experience, Cronos is building an iconic brand portfolio. Cronos’ diverse international brand portfolio includes Spinach®, PEACE NATURALS® and Lord Jones®.
(b)Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Cronos Group are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other reporting period.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20222023 (the “Annual Report”).
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations and ending shareholders’ equity.
(c)Discontinued Operations
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company exited its U.S. hemp-derived cannabinoid product operations. The exit of the U.S. operations represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and as such, qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss).loss. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations classification of the U.S. operations. For more information, see Note 2 “Discontinued Operations”.
(d)Segment information
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. Historically,Prior to the second quarter of 2023, the Company has reported results for two reportable segments, the U.S. and Rest of World. In the second quarter of 2023, as a result of the Company’s exit of its then-existing U.S. operations, the Company determined that it has one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment, which is comprised of operations in Canada and Israel and is involved in the cultivation, manufacture, and marketing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products for the medical and adult-use markets. All prior period segment disclosure information has been reclassified to conform to the current reporting structure in this Form 10-Q. These reclassifications had no effect on our consolidated financial statements in any period presented.

(f)Concentration of risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily accounts receivable and other receivables, and its investing activities, including cash held with banks and financial institutions, short-term investments and loans receivable. The Company’s maximum exposure to this risk is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets, which amounted to $943,884$952,446 and $987,836$966,442 as of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. As of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, the Company had $69$15 and $219,$3, respectively, in expected credit losses that have been recognized on receivables from contracts with customers.
As of June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the Company assessed that there is a concentration of credit risk, as 41%40% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from two customers with an established credit history with the Company. As of December 31, 2022, 55%2023, 37% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from three customersone customer with an established credit history with the Company.
The Company sells products to a limited number of major customers. Major customers are defined as customers that each individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $16,839$21,866 from three major customers, together accounting for 67%62% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $12,767 from three major customers, together accounting for 59% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes. During the six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $34,732$15,168 from three major customers, together accounting for 67% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $24,690 from threetwo major customers, together accounting for 56% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes.
(g)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances reportable segment disclosures by requiring disclosures such as significant segment expenses, information on the CODM and disclosures for entities with a single reportable segment. Additionally, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and we expect to adopt ASU 2023-07 retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 enhances the existing income tax disclosures to provide additional information to better assess how an entity’s operations, related tax risks and tax planning, and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and we expect to adopt ASU 2023-09 prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(g)(h)Adoption of new accounting pronouncements
On January 1, 2023,2024, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU No. 2022-02”). ASU No. 2022-02 eliminates the existing troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance, and instead aligns the accounting treatment to that of other loan modifications. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU No. 2022-02 also requires that entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of ASU No. 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(h)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU No. 2022-03”). ASU No. 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and we expect to adopt ASU 2022-03 prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2022-03 todid not have a material impact on itsthe Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements. With respect to the adoption of ASU 2022-03, see Note 4 “Investments” for discussion of the contractual restrictions related to the PharmaCann Option (as defined below).

(b)Other investments
Other investments consist of investments in common shares and options of two companies in the cannabis industry.
PharmaCann Inc.Option
InOn June 14, 2021, the Company purchased an option (the “PharmaCann Option”) to acquire 473,787 shares of Class A Common Stock of PharmaCann, Inc. (“PharmaCann”), a vertically integrated cannabis company in the United States, which representedat an ownership interestexercise price of $0.0001 per share, representing approximately 10.5% of PharmaCann’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the purchase date of the PharmaCann Option, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110,392. The PharmaCann Option is classified as an investment in an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. The Company has elected to measure the fair value ofmeasures the PharmaCann Option at cost less accumulated impairment charges, if any, and subsequently adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As of June 30,March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, based on updated information provided by PharmaCann in the first quarter, the Company’s proforma ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully-dilutedfully diluted basis was approximately 6.3%. and 6.6%, respectively. The decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage since acquisition does not materially affect the Company’s rights under the PharmaCann Option. The PharmaCann Option is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and is a level 3 asset. See Note 10 “Fair Value Measurements” for more information on the fair value hierarchy. The PharmaCann Option is reported as Other investments on the consolidated balance sheet for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company identified adverse forecast changes in the financial performance of PharmaCann as an indicator of impairment related to the PharmaCann Option and conducted an analysis comparing the PharmaCann Option’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated using the market approach. Under the market approach, the key assumptions are the selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $12,734 in the first quarter of 2024 as the difference between the carrying amount of the PharmaCann Option and its estimated fair value, in the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company identified adverse forecast changes in the financial performance of PharmaCann as indicators of impairment related to the PharmaCann Option and conducted analyses comparing the PharmaCann Option’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the market and income approaches. Under the income approach, significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow method were the discount rate, growth rates, cash flow projections, and the timing of federal legalization of cannabis in the U.S. Under the market valuation approach, the key assumptions that require judgment under the Guideline Public Companies method are cash flow projections, selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11,238 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as the difference between the carrying amount of the PharmaCann Option and its estimated fair value in the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss).

Fluctuations in the expected life of the derivative instruments and the Company’s share price are primary drivers for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the period of time that the derivative liability is expected to be outstanding decreases and the share price decreases, the fair value typically decreases for each related derivative instrument. Weighted-average expected life and share price are two of the significant observable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

(i)The risk-free interest rate was based on Bank of Canada government treasury bills and bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the derivative liabilities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the risk-free interest rate uses a range of approximately 4.46% to 4.89% and 3.81% to 4.37%, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.
(ii)The expected life represents the period of time, in years, that the derivative liabilities are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights is determined based on the expected term of the underlying options, warrants, and shares, to which the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights are linked. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the expected life uses a range of approximately 1.00 years to 2.25 years and 0.25 years to 2.75 years, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.
(iii)Volatility was based on an equally weighted blended historical and implied volatility level of the underlying equity securities of the Company.
7. Restructuring
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a strategic plan to realign the business around its brands, centralize functions and evaluate the Company’s supply chain (the “Realignment”). As part of the Realignment, on February 28, 2022, the Board approved plans to leverage the Company’s strategic partnerships to improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce manufacturing overhead by exiting its production facility in Stayner, Ontario, Canada (the “Peace Naturals Campus”). On February 27, 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment, which are expected to result in the Company maintaining select components of its operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, namely distribution warehousing, certain research and development activities and manufacturing of certain of the Company’s products, while seeking to sell and lease back all or some of the Peace Naturals Campus or to lease certain portions of the Peace Naturals Campus to third parties. In the third quarter of 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment to wind-down operations at its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (“Cronos Fermentation”), list the Cronos Fermentation facility for sale, and implement additional organization-wide cost reductions as the Company continues its Realignment initiatives. The Realignment initiatives were intended to position the Company to drive profitable and sustainable growth over time.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company ceased operations at Cronos Fermentation and performed an assessment under ASC 360 of the recoverability of the carrying value of the Cronos Fermentation assets, and determined the carrying value of the assets was not fully recoverable. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the market and income approaches. As a result of this analysis, an impairment loss on long-lived assets of $1,631 was recorded to the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss in the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the assets of Cronos Fermentation met the held-for-sale criteria and were reclassified to assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the assets were valued at their fair value less costs to sell. A $445 loss for estimated costs to sell was recorded as a result of the classification of the Cronos Fermentation assets as held for sale.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $978 and $3,009, respectively,incurred $83 of restructuring costs in its continuing operations in connection with the Realignment, including the change in the nature of operations at the Peace Naturals Campus.Realignment. Charges related thereto include employee-related costs such as severance relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs. During the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023, the Company incurredrecognized no restructuring costs in its continuing operations.

There have been no material changes in the information regarding commitments as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.
(b)Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and in connection with its marketing, distribution and sale of its products. Many of these legal proceedings are in the early stages of litigation and seek damages that are unspecified or not quantified.

(i)Class action complaints relating to restatement of 2019 interim financial statements
On March 11 and 12, 2020, two alleged shareholders of the Company separately filed two putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and now former Chief Financial Officer.

The consolidated amended complaint generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal controlcontrols were incorrect based on the Company’s disclosures relating to the Audit Committee of the Board’sBoard of Directors’ review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel. The consolidated amended complaint does not quantify a damage request. DefendantsThe defendants moved to dismiss on February 8, 2021. On November 17, 2023, the court entered an order granting the motion and dismissed the case with prejudice. On December 1, 2023, the shareholder plaintiffs sought reconsideration of the dismissal, requesting that the court instead dismiss the action without prejudice and permit the plaintiffs to seek leave to further amend the complaint. The reconsideration motion is pending.

On October 10, 2023, the Superior Court certified the action on behalf of a class of persons or entities who acquired shares in the secondary market, including on the TSX and Nasdaq, during the period from May 9, 2019 to March 30, 2020, other than certain excluded persons.

In April 2024, the Company completed the activities required for sale. The Company expects to incur approximately $1,200 in restructuring costs associated with the exit of Cronos Fermentation facility. These charges include employee-related costs such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs, which are expectedPeace Naturals Campus to be incurred primarily inconsidered immediately available for sale, and therefore the second half of 2023, but do not include any impairment chargesunderlying assets were reclassified to property, plant or equipment. These anticipated charges are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability to wind down Cronos Fermentation efficiently and effectively, the length of the sales process, the bids received in the sale process, market factors and others. As a result of these assumptions, actual results may differ materially. The Company cannot,held-for-sale at this time, quantify the impairment charges, if any, to long-lived assets associated with the wind-down.

Also on August 4, 2023, the Board approved additional organization-wide cost reductions. Expected restructuring costs of approximately $2,000, with the majority expected to be incurred in the second half of 2023, include mostly one-time employee-related severance charges. These anticipated costs are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability of the Company to effectively and efficiently further streamline operations, the number of employee reductions, the timing of employee reductions, the level of the Company’s operations, market factors and others.

Non-GAAP Measures
Cronos Group reports its financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). This Quarterly Report refers to measures not recognized under U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP measures”). These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-GAAP measures are provided as a supplement to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to provide additional information regarding the results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All non-GAAP measures presented in this Quarterly Report are reconciled to their closest reported U.S. GAAP measure. Reconciliations of historical adjusted financial measures to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures are provided below.
Adjusted EBITDA
Management reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes non-cash items and items that do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization adjusted for: share of (income) loss from equity method investments; impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets; impairment loss on long-lived assets; (gain) loss on revaluation of derivative liabilities; (gain) loss on revaluation of financial instruments; transaction costs related to strategic projects; impairment loss on other investments; foreign currency transaction loss; other, net; loss from discontinued operations; restructuring costs; inventory write-downs resulting from restructuring actions; share-based compensation; and financial statement review costs and reserves related to the restatements of our 2019 and 2021 interim financial statements (the “Restatements”), including the costs related to the settlement of the SEC’s and the Ontario Securities Commission’s (“OSC”) investigations of the Restatements and legal costs defending shareholder class action complaints brought against us as a result of the 2019 restatement (see Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the shareholder class action complaints relating to the restatement of the 2019 interim financial statements and the settlement of the SEC’s and the OSC’s investigations of the Restatements). Results are reported as total consolidated results, reflecting our reporting structure of one reportable segment.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides the most useful insight into underlying business trends and results and provides a more meaningful comparison of period-over-period results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets.

Constant Currency
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for net revenues, gross profit, gross profit margin, operating expenses, net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, as well as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances as of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2022,2023, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three and six month comparative periodsperiod in 20222023 rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective current periods; constant currency current and prior comparative balance sheet information is translated at the prior year-end spot rate rather than the current period spot rate. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2022.2023. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our operations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

On a constant currency basis, operating expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to lower professional fees, largely related to financial statement review costs, lower bonus expense, lower insurance costs, lower costs associated with the achievement of Ginkgo milestones and impairment loss on long-lived assets recognized in the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $(33.9) million, representing a 6% decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 on a constant currency basis was primarily driven by lower cannabis flower sales in the Israeli medical market and adverse price/mix on cannabis flower sales in Canada resulting in higher excise taxes as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by decreases in general and administrative expenses due primarily to lower bonus expense, insurance costs and professional fees as well as lower costs associated with the achievement of Ginkgo milestones.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to certain market risks, including changes from foreign currency exchange rates related to our international operations. Except as updated below, the Company’s market risks have not changed significantly from the market risk disclosed in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report.
Foreign currency risk
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk based on its net assets, liabilities, and revenues denominated in foreign currencies, including Canadian dollars and Israeli new shekels. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses. Revenue and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect during the period when such items are recognized. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will positively impact operating income and net earnings, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will have an adverse impact.
A 10% change in the exchange rates for the Canadian dollar would have affected the carrying amount of the net assets by approximately $76.9$103.6 million and $77.4$97.7 million as of June 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively. The corresponding impact would be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. We have not historically engaged in hedging transactions and do not currently contemplate engaging in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As we continue to recognize gains and losses in foreign currency transactions, depending upon changes in future currency rates, such gains and losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on the Company’s results of operations.
During the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2024, the Company had foreign currency loss on translation of $22.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company had foreign currency gain on translation of $16.6 million and $19.0 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company had foreign currency loss on translation of $24.2 million and $8.2 million, respectively.$2.4 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2023.March 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, due to the existence of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below,March 31, 2024, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Material Weakness in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), we have identified the following material weakness:
ITGCs - User Access:
We did not design and maintain effective controls over Information Technology General Controls (“ITGC”), pertaining to user access management and the provisioning and monitoring of user access, including privileged access. We believe this weakness to be the result of ineffective monitoring of security administrator activities, insufficient retention of documentation to support access requests and lack of training on the importance of ITGC. This material weakness did not impact any information derived from information systems and did not result in any identified misstatements to our financial statements.
Remediation Plan and Status
As discussed above, we have identified a material weakness related to ITGCs in user access management and the provisioning and monitoring of privileged access. As of the filing date, the Company is in the process of implementing various initiatives intended to address the identified material weakness. In this regard, some of our key remedial initiatives include:
Material WeaknessControl, Control Enhancement or MitigantImplementation StatusManagement Testing StatusRemediation Status
ITGCs
Train security administrators on access provisioning and approval protocols.
CompletedTestedNot Remediated
Align approval requirements for all privileged access for consistency and appropriate visibility within the IT function.

CompletedIn ProgressNot Remediated
Implement a periodic control to compare each user’s system access to their responsibilities.
CompletedIn ProgressNot Remediated
Implement an oversight control over security administrator actions.
In ProgressNot TestedNot Remediated
(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the material weakness identified above and measures described above to remediate such material weakness, thereThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the quarterthree months ended June 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings.
The information set forth under 11(b)Note 9(b), Contingencies, to the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in Part I, Item 1.1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A: Risk Factors.
An investment in us involves a number of risks. A detailed discussion of our risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Annual Report. Any of the matters highlighted in the risk factors described in the Annual Report could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, causing an investor to lose all, or part of, its, his or her investment. The risks and uncertainties described in the Annual Report are those we currently believe to be material, but they are not the only ones we face. If any of the risks described in the Annual Report, or any other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently consider not to be material, actually occur or become material risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and consequently the price of our securities could be materially and adversely affected.
We may be unable to appoint a new auditor in time to obtain a review of our financial statements for the third quarter of 2024 by an independent registered public accounting firm.

KPMG LLP, our current independent registered public accounting firm, has informed us that it will not stand for re-appointment for the Company’s 2024 annual audit and that it will review our financial statements only for the first and second fiscal quarters of 2024. If our process to appoint a new auditor is delayed and we are unable to appoint a new auditor in time for the new auditor to review our financial statements for the third fiscal quarter of 2024, we will be unable to comply with our periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and Canadian securities laws and timely file our public filings with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators. Our ability to timely retain a new auditor is not within our control; it depends on, among other things, how many auditors participate in our request for proposal process, the qualifications of the submitting firms and the amount of work the new auditor will need to perform to conduct a review of our third-quarter financial statements. No assurance can be given that we will retain an auditor in time to review our third-quarter financial statements.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On August 4, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved plans to wind-down operations at its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (“Cronos Fermentation”), and list the Cronos Fermentation facility for sale. The Company expects to incur approximately $1.2 million in restructuring costs associated with the exit of Cronos Fermentation facility. These charges include employee-related costs such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs, which are expected to be incurred primarily in the second half of 2023, but do not include any impairment charges to property, plant or equipment. These anticipated charges are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability to wind down Cronos Fermentation efficiently and effectively, the length of the sales process, the bids received in the sale process, market factors and others.
