Acreage Holdings, Inc.
Form 10-Q
For the Three Months and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2020
September 30, 2021

Explanatory Note

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), Acreage Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or “Acreage”) previously filed a current report on Form 8-K to avail itself of an extension to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (this “Quarterly Report” or “Form 10-Q”), originally due on May 15, 2020, relying on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2020 pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”), regarding exemptions granted to certain public companies from specified provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder. In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. Our operations are located in many states throughout the United States, including New York, one of the areas of the United States hardest-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in New York City. 

As a result of COVID-19, the Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees for the past several weeks, including the temporary closures of its offices and having employees work remotely to the extent possible, which has adversely affected employee efficiency and disrupted the Company’s business operations. In particular, these changes have affected the collaboration of our financial reporting team and the accessibility of the Company’s books and records, resulting in delays in the review, preparation and completion of its financial statements for the first quarter of 2020 due to guidance from authorities for employees to follow work from home procedures. As such, the Company has relied upon the 45-day grace period provided by the Order to delay filing of its Quarterly Report.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and going concern

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Acreageaccompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

2021, or any other period.
As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2020,September 30, 2021, as well as a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

However, management believes that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet ourits obligations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued has been alleviated due to, but not limited to, (i) capital raised between January and June 2020, (ii) access to future capital commitments, (see Note 13), (iii)(ii) continued sales growth from ourthe Company’s consolidated operations, (iv)(iii) latitude as to the timing and amount of certain operating expenses as well as capital expenditures, (v)(iv) restructuring plans that have already been put in place to improve the Company’s profitability, and (vi)(v) the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement described in(refer to Note 13 and 17 offor further discussion) and (vi) the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

anticipated Non-Core Divestitures (refer to Note 3 for further discussion).
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail its footprint buildout or other operational activities until such time as additional capital becomes available. Such limitation of the Company’s activities would allow it to slow its rate of spending and extend its use of cash until additional capital is raised. However, management cannot provide any assurances that weit will be successful in accomplishing any of ourthe Company’s plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter which could increase ourthe Company’s need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested at the individual business level. The Company may first assess qualitative factors and, if it determines it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value, then proceed to a quantitative test if necessary.
Finite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Accounting for warrants

and convertible notes
The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants it issues, as either liability or equity classified, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, then in accordance with ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the Company to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or warrants that must or may require settlement by issuing a variable number of shares.

If warrants do not meet the liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, and in order to conclude equity classification, the Company also assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable U.S. GAAP. After all relevant assessments, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants require fair value accounting at issuance and subsequent to initial issuance with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations. Equity classified warrants only require fair value accounting at issuance with no changes recognized subsequent to the issuance date.

The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the related debt using the straight line method which approximates the interest rate method or (ii) redemption of the debt. The amortization of debt discounts is included as a component of Interest expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 10 for further discussion.
Assets held for sale
The Company classifies long-lived assets or disposal groups as held for sale in the period when the following held for sale criteria are met: (i) the Company commits to a plan to sell; (ii) the long-lived asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such long-lived assets or disposal groups; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale is probable within one year; (v) the asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment,long-lived assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Other assets
The Company’s Other current assets balance on the Statement of Financial Position consists of accounts receivables, billed receivables, and other receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, as well as prepaid expenses and other current assets as of September 30, 2021.
Net loss per share

Net loss per share represents the net loss attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period on an as converted basis. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 as the issuance of shares upon conversion, exercise or vesting of outstanding units would be anti-dilutive in each period. There were 46,96242,621 and 37,588 anti-dilutive shares46,541 potentially dilutive instruments outstanding as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively.

The objective of ASU 2017-04 is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. Under previous GAAP, entities were required to test goodwill for impairment using a two-step approach. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity performs its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have an effect on the Company’s Financial Statements.discussion.

The Arrangement Agreement also requires Acreage to limit its operations to the Identified States (as defined therein).

New York outstanding litigation

On November 2, 2018, EPMMNY LLC (“EPMMNY”) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, asserting claims against 16 defendants, including NYCANNA, Impire State Holdings LLC, NY Medicinal Research & Caring, LLC (each, a wholly-owned subsidiary of High Street) and High Street. The Index Number for the action is 655480/2018. EPMMNY alleges that it was wrongfully deprived of a minority equity interest and management role in NYCANNA by its former partner, New Amsterdam Distributors, LLC, which attempted to directly or indirectly sell or transfer EPMMNY’s alleged interest in NYCANNA to other entities in 2016 and 2017, including Impire, NYMRC and High Street. EPMMNY alleges that it is entitled to the value of its alleged minority interest in NYCANNA or minority ownership in NYCANNA. EPMMNY also alleges that certain defendants misused its alleged intellectual property and/or services, improperly solicited its employees, and aided and abetted or participated in the transfer of equity and/or business opportunities from EPMMNY. High Street intends to vigorously defend this action, which the Company firmly believes is without merit. EPMMNY alleges that it was improperly deprived of its equity stake in NYCANNA before NYCANNA was acquired by High Street. High Street is also entitled to full indemnity from the claims asserted against it by EPMMNY pursuant to the purchase agreement pertaining to its acquisition of NYCANNA and personal guarantee by the largest shareholders of the seller. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on April 1, 2019. The motion was fully briefed and submitted to the Court on July 18, 2019, and oral argument was heard on September 6, 2019. The motion remains pending before the Court. A Special Referee hearing relating to the motion to dismiss has been re-scheduled for January 2022.

iv. An arbitration that will soon be underway with the American Arbitration Association on the issue of whether WPMC had the right to redeem CanWell's interest in WPMC.
v. A civil action pending in Maine (Docket No. CUMSC-CV-19-0357) which was filed by Northeast Patients Group d/b/a Wellness Connection of Maine against CanWell, LLC and CanWell Processing (Maine), LLC, relating to the termination of the ADA. While no Acreage affiliate is currently a party to this action, the issue being litigated relates to the termination of the ADA, which is one of the issues that CanWell is attempting to arbitrate in Rhode Island.
vi. A declaratory judgment action pending in Delaware, High Street Capital Partners, LLC v. CanWell, LLC, CanWell Processing (Maine), LLC, and CanWell Processing (Rhode Island), LLC (Court of Chancery, No. 2019-0957-MTZ) seeking a declaratory judgment that, as a matter of law, High Street is not subject to any non-compete provision with regard to the agreements detailed above. This case remains in the preliminary stages of litigation.
The Court issued an order on January 29, 2020 that determined that the arbitrability of the ADA Disputes is to be decided by an arbitrator, not the Court.
Following the parties’ entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on proposed settlement terms that would settle each of the matters listed above, the parties have now reached a final confidential settlement agreement. As part of that agreement, the Company has accrued for $7,750 in Legal settlements, net on the Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. In connection with this settlement agreement, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $7,750 to CanWell, which is non-interest bearing and is payable in periodic payments through December 31, 2024.
Lease Dispute
On or around December 2019, it is alleged that a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSCP entered into 3 five-year leases to occupy approximately 70 square feet of commercial space on a cannabis cultivation campus in California. As of November 24, 2020, HSCP and its wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a confidential settlement and release agreement with the commercial landlord, pursuant to which HSCP will make periodic payments to the commercial landlord totaling $6,336, which the Company has accrued for in Legal settlements, net on the Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Information
This statement includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its actual operating performance and for planning and forecasting future periods. The Company believes that the adjusted results presented provide relevant and useful information for investors because they clarify the Company’s actual operating performance, make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way as our management. Since these measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net loss or our other reported results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP as indicators of our performance, and they may not be comparable to similarly named measures from other companies.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes and, depreciation and amortization and excluding the following: (i) income from investments, net (the majority of the Company's investment income relates to remeasurement to fair value of previously-held interests in connection with our roll-up of affiliates, and the Company expects income from investments to be a non-recurring item as its legacy investment holdings diminish), (ii) equity-based compensation expense, (iii) non-cash impairment losses, (iv) transaction costs and (v) other non-recurring expenses (other expenses and income not expected to recur).

OurThe Company’s primary uses of capital include operating expenses, capital expenditures and the servicing of outstanding debt and operating expense. Ourdebt. The Company’s primary sources of capital include funds generated by cannabis sales as well as financing activities. Through March 31, 2020, we haveSeptember 30, 2021, the Company had primarily used private financing as a source of liquidity for short-term working capital needs and general corporate purposes.
In May andMarch 2021, the Company extended the maturity date related to $21,000 of the $22,000 aggregate amount of the loan transaction to June 2020, we closed on two separate financing transactions30, 2021, as described in detail in Note 1710 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our
In June 2021, the Company repaid the 3.55% credit facility of $21,000 and the 3.55% credit facility collateral (related party) of $22,000. Certain of the cash proceeds from the sale of Acreage Florida, including the proceeds from the sale of the notes receivable received from the buyer of Acreage Florida as consideration, and the Company’s restricted cash were utilized to repay these debt obligations.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $27,868 (not including approximately $1,098 of restricted cash and approximately $518 of cash held for sale and included in current assets held for sale). The Company’s ability to fund ourits operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other obligations depends on ourits future operating performance and ability to obtain financing, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions, as well aas financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond ourthe Company’s control.
We expectThe Company expects that ourits cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with ourits ability to obtain private and/or public financing, will be adequate to support the capital needs of the existing operations as well as expansion plans for the next 12 months. While ourthe Company’s liquidity risk has increased since ourits RTO transaction as a result of the Company’s rapid growth and continued expansion, which resulted in negative operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2019, we believe we have2020, the Company believes it has alleviated the risk.

Net cash used in operating activities

TheFor the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company used $18,312 of net cash in operating activities. This represented a reduction of $25,896 when compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2020. Excluding non-cash items such as impairments, equity based compensation, write-offs, gains and losses on disposals and depreciation and amortization in the net operating income (loss), this improved operating income was a result of revenue increases exceeding increases in costs of goods sold and a decrease in non-cash expenditures. Additionally, for both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, cash used in operating activity included cash used to fund increases in working capital due to the expanded operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.Risk
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments and other risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks include market, credit, liquidity, asset forfeiture, banking and interest rate risk.
Market risk

Strategic and operational risks arise if the Company fails to carry out business operations and/or to raise sufficient equity and/or debt financing. These strategic opportunities or threats arise from a range of factors that might include changing economic and
52



political circumstances and regulatory approvals and competitor actions. The risk is mitigated by consideration of other potential development opportunities and challenges which management may undertake.
Credit risk

The Company’s exposure to non-payment or non-performance by its counterparties is a credit risk. The maximum credit exposure as of March 31, 2020September 30, 2021, is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts, notes and other receivables. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to customers. The Company mitigates its credit risk on its notes and other receivables by securing collateral, such as capital assets, and by its review of the counterparties and their businesses. The Company considers a variety of factors when determining interest rates for notes receivable, including the creditworthiness of the counterparty, market interest rates prevailing at the note’s origination, and duration and terms of the note. The Company determined expected credit losses to be immaterial due to collateral held. Analysis of collateral held and future expected cash flows within the cannabis industry were considered in its expected credit loss assessment.


Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company endeavors to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s cash holdings. As of March 31, 2020,September 30, 2021, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities and long-term debt. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis.

As reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2020,September 30, 2021, as well as a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

However, management believes that substantial doubt of ourthe Company’s ability to meet ourits obligations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were first made available has been alleviated due to, but not limited to, (i) capital raised between January and June 2020, (ii) access to future capital commitments, (see Note 17 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), (iii)(ii) continued sales growth from ourthe Company’s consolidated operations, (iv)(iii) latitude as to the timing and amount of certain operating expenses as well as capital expenditures, (v)(iv) restructuring plans that have already been put in place to improve the Company’s profitability, and (vi)(v) the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement described in(refer to Note 1713 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion) and (vi) the anticipated Non-Core Divestitures (refer to Note 3 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion). 

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail its footprint buildout or other operational activities until such time as additional capital becomes available. Such limitation of the Company’s activities would allow it to slow its rate of spending and extend its use of cash until additional capital is raised. However, management cannot provide any assurances that wethe Company will be successful in accomplishing any of ourits plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter which could increase ourthe Company’s need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.
Asset forfeiture risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.
Banking risk

Notwithstanding that a majority of states have legalized medical marijuana, there has been no change in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the marijuana industry. Given that U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept for deposit funds from businesses involved with the marijuana industry. Consequently, businesses involved in the marijuana industry often have difficulty accessing the U.S. banking system and traditional financing sources. The inability to open bank accounts with certain institutions may make it difficult to operate the businesses of the Company, its subsidiaries and investee companies, and leaves their cash holdings vulnerable. The Company has banking relationships in all jurisdictions in which it operates.
53



In addition, the Company maintains cash with various U.S. banks and credit unions with balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund limits, respectively. The failure of a bank or credit union where the Company has significant deposits could result in a loss of a portion of such cash balances in excess of the insured limit, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings are all at fixed interest rates. The Company considers cash flow interest rate risk to be immaterial.


Capital risk management

The Company considers its capital structure to include contributed capital, accumulated deficit, non-controlling interests and any other component of equity. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to meet its capital expenditures for its continued operations and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it as appropriate given changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
As reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2020,September 30, 2021, as well as a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

However, management believes that substantial doubt of ourthe Company’s ability to meet ourits obligations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were first made available has been alleviated due to, but not limited to, (i) capital raised between January and June 2020, (ii) access to future capital commitments, (see Note 17 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), (iii)(ii) continued sales growth from ourthe Company’s consolidated operations, (iv)(iii) latitude as to the timing and amount of certain operating expenses as well as capital expenditures, (v)(iv) restructuring plans that have already been put in place to improve the Company’s profitability, and (vi)(v) the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement described in(refer to Note 1713 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion) and (vi) the anticipated Non-Core Divestitures (refer to Note 3 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion).

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail its footprint buildout or other operational activities until such time as additional capital becomes available. Such limitation of the Company’s activities would allow it to slow its rate of spending and extend its use of cash until additional capital is raised. However, management cannot provide any assurances that wethe Company will be successful in accomplishing any of ourits plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter which could increase ourthe Company’s need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, and due to the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of March 31, 2020for the period ending September 30, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
(i)    pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

(ii)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
(ii)    provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

(iii)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
(iii)    provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In accordance with guidance issued by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their final assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year in which the acquisition occurred. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has limited the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting to exclude controls, policies and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting of the recently acquired operations of:

CWG Botanicals, Inc. (“CWG”) (acquired April 30, 2021)

The operations of CWG represents approximately 3% of the Company’s total assets as of September 30, 2021 and 1% of the Company’s gross revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of November 10, 2021, the review, testing and evaluation of key internal controls over financial reporting completed by the Company resulted in the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluding that as of September 30, 2021, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, as a result of turnover and the availability of resources with the appropriate level of technical capabilities (including the impacts on staffing
55



and recruiting and the general global labor shortage brought about by the global COVID-19 pandemic), the Company did not have effective staffing levels and adequate segregation of duties within several finance and accounting processes. Further, and as a result of this material weakness, the Company’s financial disclosures for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2021 incorrectly disclosed certain debt that was due 11 months after the balance sheet date as long-term rather than as current liabilities.

The Company has begun to address the material weakness described above through the following actions, which are expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2022:

a.Engaging third-party consultants with appropriate expertise to assist the finance and accounting department on an interim basis until key roles are filled;
b.Assessing finance and accounting resources to identify the areas and functions that lack sufficient personnel and recruiting for experienced personnel to assume these roles;
c.Further centralization of key accounting processes to enable greater segregation of duties;
d.Developing further training on segregation of duties; and
e.Designing and implementing additional compensating controls where necessary.

While we are working diligently to remediate this material weakness, there is no assurance that this material weakness will be fully remediated by the second quarter of 2022 given continuing lasting impacts of COVID-19 on staffing and labor for companies within our industry and otherwise.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

ThereOther than the changes discussed above in connection with our implementation of the remediation plan, there were no changes in the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2020, which were identified(as such term is defined in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-1513a–15(f) and 15d-1515d–15(f) under the Exchange Act,Act) that haveoccurred during our most recent quarter, that has materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.Proceedings
For information on legal proceedings, seerefer to Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.Factors
There havehas been noone material changeschange to the risk factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2019Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as follows:

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment needs to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that results in more than a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021, which, as a result of turnover and the availability of capable resources (including the impacts on staffing and recruiting and the general global labor shortage brought about by the global Covid-19 pandemic), the Company did not have effective staffing levels and adequate segregation of duties within several finance and accounting processes. Further, and as a result of this material weakness, the Company’s financial disclosures for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2021 incorrectly disclosed certain debt that was due 11 months after the balance sheet date as long-term rather than as current liabilities.

We are currently in the process of remediating the material weakness through the following actions, which are expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2022:

a.Engaging third-party consultants with appropriate expertise to assist the finance and accounting department on an interim basis until key roles are filled;
b.Assessing finance and accounting resources to identify the areas and functions that lack sufficient personnel and recruiting for experienced personnel to assume these roles;
c.Further centralization of key accounting processes to enable greater segregation of duties;
d.Developing further training on segregation of duties; and
e.Designing and implementing additional compensating controls where necessary.

The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the revised controls operate for a sufficient period of time and we have concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively.
