High Street Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company doing business as “Acreage Holdings” (“HSCP”), was formed on April 29, 2014. The Company became the indirect parent of HSCP on November 14, 2018 in connection with the reverse takeover (“RTO”) transaction described below.

The Company’s principal place of business is located at 366 Madison Ave, 14th floor, New York, New York in the U.S. The Company’s registered and records office address is Suite 2800, Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada.

On November 14, 2018, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement completed the RTO.

Canopy Growth Corporation transaction

On June 27, 2019, the Company and Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth” or “CGC”) implemented the Prior Plan of Arrangement (as defined in Note 13) contemplated by the Original Arrangement Agreement (as defined in Note 13). Pursuant to the Prior Plan of Arrangement, Canopy Growth was granted an option to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company in exchange for the payment of 0.5818 of a common share in the capital of Canopy Growth for each Class A subordinate voting share (each, a “SVS”) held (with the Class B proportionate voting shares (the “PVS”) and Class C multiple voting shares (the “MVS”) being automatically converted to SVS immediately prior to consummation of the Acquisition (as defined in Note 13), which original exchange ratio was subject to adjustment in accordance with the Original Arrangement Agreement. Canopy Growth was required to exercise the option upon a change in federal laws in the United States to permit the general cultivation, distribution and possession of marijuana (as defined in the relevant legislation) or to remove the regulation of such activities from the federal laws of the United States (the “Triggering Event”) and, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set out in the Original Arrangement Agreement, Canopy Growth was required to acquire all of the issued and outstanding SVS (following the mandatory conversion of the PVS and MVS into SVS).

On June 24, 2020, Canopy Growth and the Company entered into an agreement to, among other things, amend the terms of the Original Arrangement Agreement and the terms of the Prior Plan of Arrangement (the “Amended Arrangement”). On September 16, 2020, the Company’s shareholders voted in favor of a special resolution authorizing and approving the terms of, among other things, the Amended Arrangement. Subsequently, on September 18, 2020, the Company obtained a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Amended Arrangement, and on September 23, 2020 the Company and Canopy Growth entered into the Amending Agreement (as defined in Note 13) and implemented the Amended Arrangement. Pursuant to the Amended Arrangement, the Company’s articles were amended to create the Fixed Shares, the Floating Shares and the Class F multiple voting shares (the “Fixed Multiple Shares”), and each outstanding SVS was exchanged for 0.7 of a Fixed Share and 0.3 of a Floating Share, each outstanding PVS was exchanged for 28 Fixed Shares and 12 Floating Shares; and each outstanding MVS was exchanged for 0.7 of a Fixed Multiple Share and 0.3 of a Floating Share.

adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Amended Arrangement (the “Canopy Call Option”), which Canopy Growth is required to exercise upon the occurrence, or waiver (at the discretion of Canopy Growth), of a change in federal laws in the United States to permit the general cultivation, distribution and possession of marijuana (as defined in the relevant legislation) or to remove the regulation of such activities from the federal laws of the United States (the “Triggering Event” and the date on which the Triggering Event occurs, the “Triggering Event Date”). Refer to Note 13 for further discussion.

Pursuant to the implementation of the Amended Arrangement, on September 23, 2020, a subsidiary of Canopy Growth advanced gross proceeds of $50,000 to Universal Hemp, LLC, an affiliate of the Company. The debenture bears interest at a rate of 6.1% per annum. Refer to Note 10 for further discussion.

On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Floating Share Agreement”) with Canopy Growth and Canopy USA, LLC (“Canopy USA”), Canopy Growth’s newly-created U.S. domiciled holding company, pursuant to which, subject to approval of the holders of the Class D subordinate voting shares of Acreage (the “Floating Shares”) and the terms and conditions of the Floating Share Agreement, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares by way of court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) for consideration of 0.4500 of a common share of Canopy Growth (each whole share a “Canopy Share”) in exchange for each Floating Share. On March 15, 2023, the Company received the required approval of the holders of Floating Shares in connection with the Floating Share Arrangement at its special meeting of holders of Floating Shares.

Upon the satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions set out in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, which the parties continue to work towards, the parties will complete the Floating Share Arrangement. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and going concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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. 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, 2023, or any other period.

As reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, as well as a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. 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 its obligations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements ~~were~~are issued, ~~has been alleviated due to,~~can be mitigated by, but not limited to, (i) expected long-term sales growth from the Company’s consolidated operations, (ii) latitude as to the timing and amount of certain operating expenses as well as capital expenditures, (iii) expense reduction plans that have already been put in place to improve the Company’s results, (iv) the prime rate credit facilities (refer to Notes 10 and 17 for further discussion), (v) proceeds from the sale (with recourse) of certain Employee Retention Tax Credits receivable subsequent to March 31, 2023 and (vi) access to the U.S. and Canadian public equity markets.

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail its footprint build-out 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 the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its 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 the Company’s need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, dated May 1, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

Use of estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, assumptions relating to equity-based compensation expense, estimated useful lives for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and the assessment of potential charges on goodwill, intangible assets and investments in equity and notes receivable.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

Functional and presentation currency

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are expressed in U.S. dollars. Financial metrics are presented in thousands. Other metrics, such as shares outstanding, are presented in thousands unless otherwise noted.

Basis of consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Acreage, its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, if any, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in business entities in which Acreage lacks control but is able to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss of the entity is recorded in Loss from investments, net in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”)

Non-controlling interests represent ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries by parties that are not shareholders of Pubco. They are shown as a component of Total equity in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the share of loss attributable to non-controlling interests is shown as a component of Net loss in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the parent company’s ownership that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid investments held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, with original maturities of three months or less. 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 Fixed Shares and Floating Shares. Cash and cash equivalents belonging to entities the Company has classified as held-for-sale have been reclassified to Assets held-for-sale on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Refer to Note3 for further discussion.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents funds contractually held for specific purposes and, as such, not available for general corporate purposes.

Cash and restricted cash, as presented on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, consists of $16,401 and $13,628 as of June 30, 2023, respectively, and $29,235 and $95 as of June 30, 2022, respectively.

Accounts receivable and notes receivable valuations

The Company reports accounts receivable at their net realizable value, which is management’s best estimate of the cash that will ultimately be received from customers. The Company's notes receivable represent notes due from various third parties. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses to reflect the expected uncollectability of accounts receivable and notes receivable based on historical collection data and specific risks identified among uncollected accounts, as well as management’s expectation of future economic conditions. The Company also considers relevant qualitative and quantitative factors to assess whether historical loss experience should be adjusted to better reflect the risk characteristics of the companies receivables and the expected future losses. If current or expected future economic trends, events, or changes in circumstances indicate that specific receivable balances may be impaired, further consideration is given to the collectability of those balances and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $373, all of which relates to the allowance for credit losses over accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2023, the allowance on loans receivable ~~and~~was $15,095, of which the allowance for credit losses over notes receivable was ~~$1,081 and $19, respectively.~~nil as the receivables were fully reserved for. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion.

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,~~June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, as the issuance of shares upon conversion, exercise or vesting of outstanding units would be anti-dilutive in each period. There were ~~42,869~~46,243 and ~~39,522~~37,472 anti-dilutive shares outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

As of January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which was subsequently revised by ASU 2018-19 and ASU 2020-02. This standard applies to financial assets, measured at amortized cost, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and trade accounts receivable. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 - Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The new standard improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency. The new standard requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU will be effective for the Company’s first interim period of fiscal 2024. The standard should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

As further described under the “6.10% Secured debenture due September 2030” in Note 10, on September 23, 2020, a subsidiary of the Company, Universal Hemp, LLC ("Universal Hemp") was advanced gross proceeds of $50,000 (less transaction costs) pursuant to the terms of a secured debenture. The Company subsequently engaged an investment advisor, which under the investment advisor's sole discretion, on September 28, 2020 invested $34,019 of these proceeds on behalf of Universal Hemp. As a result, Universal Hemp acquired 34,019 class B units, at $1 par value per unit, which represented 100% financial interest in an Investment Partnership, a Canada-based limited partnership. An affiliate of the institutional investor holds Class A units of the Investment Partnership. The general partner of the Investment Partnership is also an affiliate of the Institutional Investor. The Class B units are held by the Investment Advisor as an agent for Universal Hemp.

Universal Hemp, through its investment with the Investment Advisor, was originally determined to hold significant influence in the Investment Partnership in accordance with ASC 810 due to (1) the economic financial interest, and (2) the entitlement to matters as they pertain to ‘Extraordinary Resolution’ items as defined within the Investment Partnership Agreement. As a result, the Company accounted for the investment in the Investment Partnership under the equity method until December 2020. Refer to Note 10 for further discussion. In December 2020, the Company no longer held significant influence due to the removal of the Extraordinary Resolution entitlements and other revisions in the Investment Partnership Agreement. As a result, the Company changed its accounting for the Investment Partnership to recognize the investment at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In November 2020, the Company issued a promissory note with a third party, which is non-interest bearing and payable based on a payment schedule with ten payments in the aggregate amount of $7,750 through December 31, 2024, as a result of a settlement described under the “CanWell Dispute” in Note 13.

Prime rate credit facilities due January 2026, as amended

On December 16, 2021, the Company entered into a $150,000 senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders consisting of a $75,000 initial draw, a $25,000 delayed draw that must be advanced within 12 months and a $50,000 committed accordion facility that is available after December 1, 2022, provided certain financial covenants are met, and with a maturity of January 1, 2026. Upon closing, gross proceeds of $75,000 were drawn (before origination discounts and issuance costs of approximately $4,000 and $1,500, respectively, which were capitalized). In April 2022, the Company drew down on the $25,000 delayed draw. Refer to Note 14 for further discussion of the syndicated related party lender.

The Company obtained a waiver of the financial covenants for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. This waiver included a $500 waiver fee that was paid to the lenders

On October 24, 2022, the Company amended the senior secured credit facility such that $25,000 of the committed accordion was available for immediate draw by Acreage, which was drawn down in the fourth quarter of 2022, with the remaining $25,000 available from January 1, 2023, provided certain predetermined milestones are achieved. The Company paid an amendment fee of $1,250 to the syndicate of lenders and the amendment was treated as a debt modification.

On April 28, 2023, the Company reached an agreement with the lenders of the Prime rate credit facilities due January 2026 that would allow it to draw a further $15,000 under its current Credit Agreement, but such funds would be maintained in a segregated account until dispersed and be restricted for use to only eligible capital expenditures. As part of this agreement, the Company agreed to limit the total amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to $140,000 and to at all times subsequent to the amendment, maintain collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equal to or greater than the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement.

The loan is secured by pledged equity interests and substantially all of the assets of the Company.

If the Company does not receive the ERTC, in whole or in part, the Company is required to repay the related portion of the funds received plus 10% interest accrued from the date of the Financing Agreement through the repayment date. The Financing Agreement does not have a stated maturity date and the discount is being accreted to interest expense over an expected term. The Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement will be satisfied upon receipt of the ERTC or other full repayment.

Effective June 27, 2019, the articles of the Company were amended pursuant to the Prior Plan of Arrangement to provide that, upon the occurrence (or waiver by Canopy Growth) of the Triggering Event, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out in the arrangement agreement entered into between Acreage and Canopy Growth on April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019 (the “Original Arrangement

Agreement”), Canopy Growth will acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company (each, an “Acreage Share”).

Second Amendment to the Arrangement Agreement with Canopy Growth

On September 23, 2020, Acreage and Canopy Growth entered into an amending agreement (the “Amending Agreement” or “Amended Arrangement”) (and together with the Original Arrangement Agreement and any further amendments thereto, the “Amended Plan of Arrangement”) and the Amended Arrangement became effective at 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver time) (the “Amendment Time”) on September 23, 2020 (the “Amendment Date”). Pursuant to the Amended Plan of Arrangement, Canopy Growth made a cash payment of $37,500 which was delivered to Acreage’s shareholders and certain holders of securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Acreage. Acreage also completed a capital reorganization (the “Capital Reorganization”) effective as of the Amendment Time whereby: (i) each existing SVS was exchanged for 0.7 of a Fixed Share and 0.3 of a Floating Share; (ii) each issued and outstanding PVS was exchanged for 28 Fixed Shares and 12 Floating Shares; and (iii) each issued and outstanding MVS was exchanged for 0.7 of a Fixed Multiple Share and 0.3 of a Floating Share.


~~ACREAGE HOLDINGS, INC.~~
~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~
~~(in thousands, except per share data)~~

At the Amendment Time, each option, restricted share unit, compensation option, and warrant to acquire existing SVS (each a “Security”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment Time, was exchanged for a replacement Security to acquire Fixed Shares (a “Fixed Share Replacement Security”) and a replacement Security to acquire Floating Shares (a “Floating Share Replacement Security”) to account for the Capital Reorganization.

Pursuant to the Amended Plan of Arrangement, upon the occurrence or waiver (at the discretion of Canopy Growth) of the Triggering Event (the “Triggering Event Date”), Canopy Growth will, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement: (i) acquire all of the issued and outstanding Fixed Shares (following the mandatory conversion of the Fixed Multiple Shares into Fixed Shares) on the basis of 0.3048 of a common share of Canopy Growth (each whole common share, a “Canopy Growth Share”) for each Fixed Share held (the “Fixed Exchange Ratio”) at the time of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares (the “Acquisition Time”), subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Amended Plan of Arrangement (the “Canopy Call Option”). The Canopy Call Option and the Floating Call Option will expire 10 years from the Amendment Time.

At the Acquisition Time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Amended Plan of Arrangement, each Fixed Share Replacement Security will be exchanged for a replacement Security from Canopy Growth equal to: (i) the number of Fixed Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such Fixed Share Replacement Security immediately prior to the Acquisition Time, multiplied by (ii) the Fixed Exchange Ratio in effect immediately prior to the Acquisition Time (provided that if the foregoing would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Canopy Growth Share, then the number of Canopy Growth Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number).

The Amended Plan of Arrangement provides for, among other things, Amendments to the definition of Purchaser Approved Share Threshold (as defined therein) to change the number of shares of Acreage available to be issued by Acreage without an adjustment in the Fixed Exchange Ratio such that Acreage may issue a maximum of 32,700 shares. Furthermore, Acreage generally may not issue any equity securities without Canopy Growth’s prior consent. Additionally, the Amended Plan of Arrangement allows for various Canopy Growth rights that extend beyond the Acquisition Date, including, among others: (i) rights to nominate a majority of Acreage’s Board of Directors following the Acquisition Time; (ii) restrictive covenants in respect of the business conduct in favor of Canopy Growth; (iii) termination of non-competition and exclusivity rights granted to Acreage by Canopy Growth in the event that Acreage does not meet certain specified financial targets; (iv) implementation of further restrictions on Acreage’s ability to operate its business in the event that Acreage does not meet certain specified financial targets; and (v) termination of the Amended Plan of Arrangement in the event that Acreage does not meet certain specified financial targets in the trailing 12 month period. Each of the financial targets referred to above is specified in the Amending Agreement and related to the performance of Acreage relative to a business plan for Acreage for each fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2029 set forth in the Proposal Agreement (the “Initial Business Plan”).

Further, the Amended Plan of Arrangement imposes restrictions on Acreage entering into any contracts in respect of Company Debt if: (i) such contract would be materially inconsistent with market standards for companies operating in the United States cannabis industry; (ii) such contract prohibits a prepayment of the principal amount of such Company Debt; and (iii) such contract would provide for interest payments to be paid through the issuance of securities as opposed to cash, among other restrictions. The Amended Plan of Arrangement also provides for the following: (i) certain financial reporting obligations to Canopy Growth; (ii) certain specified criteria related to any new directors or officers of Acreage, and (iii) a limit to Acreage’s operations to the Identified States (as defined therein).

Third Amendment to the Arrangement Agreement with Canopy Growth

Concurrently with entering the Floating Share Agreement, Canopy Growth irrevocably waived its option to acquire the Floating Shares pursuant to the Amended Arrangement.


~~ACREAGE HOLDINGS, INC.~~
~~NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~
~~(in thousands, except per share data)~~

Subject to the provisions of the Floating Share Agreement, Canopy Growth has agreed to exercise the fixed option pursuant to the Amended Agreement to acquire all outstanding Fixed Shares, representing approximately 70% of the total shares of Acreage as at the date hereof, at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.3048 of a Canopy Share for each Fixed Share.

Acreage expects the Floating Share Arrangement to close upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions under the Floating Share Agreement and the Amended Arrangement. It is anticipated that the acquisition by Canopy USA of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Fixed Option will be completed immediately following closing of the Floating Share Agreement. In the event that Canopy USA exercises the Fixed Option and acquires the Floating Shares pursuant to the Floating Share Arrangement, Acreage will be wholly-owned subsidiary of Canopy USA.

On March 17, 2023, Acreage, Canopy and Canopy USA entered into a first amendment to the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement (the ~~“Amendment”~~“First Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, Acreage, Canopy and Canopy USA agreed to amend the Exercise Outside Date (as defined in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement) from March 31, 2023 to May 31, 2023. On May 31, 2023, the parties entered into a second amendment to the Floating Share Arrangement, further extending the Exercise Outside date from May 31, 2023 to August 31, 2023.

Tax Receivable Agreement and Tax Receivable Bonus Plans

The Company is a party to (i) a tax receivable agreement dated November 14, 2018 and subsequently amended (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) between the Company and certain current and former unit holders of HSCP and (ii) tax receivable bonus plans dated November 14, 2018 and subsequently amended (the “Tax Receivable Bonus Plans”) between the Company and certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company (together the “Tax Receivable Recipients”). Under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Tax Receivable Bonus Plans, the Company is required to make cash payments to the Tax Receivable Recipients equal to 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that the Company actually realizes, or in certain circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) the increases in its share of the tax basis of assets of HSCP resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of Units from the HSCP Members, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to the Company making payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Tax Receivable Bonus Plan. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that the Company makes to the Tax Receivable Recipients cannot be estimated, it expects those payments will be significant. Any payments made by the Company to the Tax Receivable Recipients may generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to it. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned on any Tax Receivable Recipient’s continued ownership of Units or our shares after the completion of the RTO. Payments under the Tax Receivable Bonus Plan may, at times, be conditioned on the Tax Receivable Recipient’s continued employment by the Company. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company has not made any payments in relation to the Tax Receivable Agreement or the Tax Receivable Bonus Plans.

Concurrently with the execution of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy Growth, Canopy USA, High Street, Acreage Holdings America, Inc. and certain individuals party to the Tax Receivable Agreement, amended the Tax Receivable Agreement in accordance with the Floating Share Agreement. Pursuant to the Floating Share Agreement, Canopy Growth, on behalf of Canopy USA agreed to: (i) issue Canopy Shares with a value of approximately $30,500 to the Tax Receivable Agreement Members in exchange for each such individual executing an assignment of rights agreement assigning such individual’s rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement to Canopy USA, such that following assignment, Canopy USA is the sole member and beneficiary under the Tax Receivable Agreement; and (ii) fund a payment with a value of approximately $19,500 to be made by the Company in Canopy Shares to certain eligible participants pursuant to the Tax Receivable Bonus Plans, as amended on October 24, 2022, both in order to reduce a potential liability of approximately $121,000 under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Tax Receivable Bonus Plans. In connection with the foregoing, Canopy Growth issued 5,648,927 Canopy Shares on or about November 4, 2022 and 7,102,081 Canopy Shares on or about March 17, 2023 to the Tax Receivable Agreement Members. In addition, the Tax Receivable Agreement Bonuses with an aggregate value of approximately $19,500 in Canopy Shares will be issued by Canopy to certain eligible participants under the Tax Receivable

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 (“Impire”), NY Medicinal Research & Caring, LLC (“NYMRC”) (each, a ~~wholly-owned~~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 (“New Amsterdam”), 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, along with the other Defendants, filed motions to dismiss on April 1, 2019. The motions were fully briefed and submitted to the Court as of July 18, 2019, and oral argument was heard on September 6, 2019. Following a hearing held during April 2022, in ruling on one dismissal argument advanced by several Defendants, the Court ruled that Plaintiff had the capacity to bring this action on behalf of EPMMNY. On July 13, 2023, the Court ruled on the remaining dismissal arguments, granting the vast majority of them. As part of its ruling, the Court dismissed without prejudice every claim against NYCANNA, Impire, NYMRC, and High Street, except the claims for unjust enrichment and quantum meruit (which also were permitted to proceed against other Defendants). The only other claim that the Court did not dismiss was for breach of contract against New Amsterdam.

On July 24, 2023, EPMMNY moved for leave to file a proposed amended complaint. The proposed amended complaint names several defendants, including NYCANNA, Impire, NYMRC, High Street, and Kevin Murphy, and contains similar allegations to those in the original complaint. High Street intends to oppose the motion for leave to amend and,if necessary, move to dismiss the new complaint.

High Street intends to continue vigorously defend this action, which the Company firmly believes is without merit. High Street also believes it 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.

In accordance with the terms of the debenture, the funds cannot be used, directly or indirectly, in connection with or for any cannabis or cannabis-related operations in the United States, unless and until such operations comply with all applicable laws of the United States. Acreage then engaged an investment advisor (the “Investment Advisor”) which, under the Investment Advisor’s sole discretion, invested on behalf of Universal Hemp, $34,019 of the proceeds on September 28, 2020. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company incurred interest expense attributable to the 6.10% Secured debenture due September 2030 of $763.

As a result of the transaction above, Universal Hemp, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired 34,019 class B units, at $1 par value per unit, which represented 100% financial interest in an Investment Partnership, a Canada-based limited partnership. An affiliate of the Institutional Investor holds Class A Units of the Investment Partnership. The general partner of the Investment Partnership is also an affiliate of the Institutional Investor. The class B units are held by the Institutional Investor as agent for Universal Hemp. On September 28, 2020, the Company received gross proceeds of $33,000 (less transaction costs of approximately $959) from an affiliate of the Institutional Lender (the “Lender”) and used a portion of the proceeds of this loan to retire its short-term $11,000 convertible note and its short-term note aggregating approximately $18,000 in October 2020, with the remainder being used for working capital purposes.

The Company prepares its segment reporting on the same basis that its Chief Operating Decision Maker manages the business, and makes operating decisions. The Company operates under one operating segment, which is its only reportable segment: the production and sale of cannabis products.

All of the Company’s operations are located in the United States.

16. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted number of outstanding common shares plus the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants, as if they were exercised, and restricted stock units and profits interests, as if they vested and NCI convertible units, as if they converted.

Basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 11, 2023, the Company sold, for total proceeds of $12,113, the rights to receive certain Employee Retention Tax Credits (“ERTC”) with an aggregate receivable value of $14,251. In the event that all or a portion of the ERTC are a) objected to by the IRS or otherwise asserted by the IRS to be, unenforceable or invalid, b) impaired by the commencement by the IRS of any action or proceeding including, but not limited to any proceeding which seeks to reduce all or part of the Claim Amount, or c) offset or setoff against unpaid taxes of the Company, disallowed, reduced, subordinated or otherwise impaired by action of the IRS, in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the purchaser shall have the right to put all or a portion of the purchased ERTC back to the Company plus interest thereon at ten percent per annum.

On April 13, 2023, Health Circle, Inc. (the “Borrower”) filed a civil action in the Massachusetts Superior Court of Plymouth County against the Company and MA RMD SVCS, LLC (the “Lender”), related to the parties’ Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, and has alleged breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, and a violation of G.L. c. 93A. The filing of this preemptive “strike suit” follows the Company’s continuing efforts to recover the principal and interest payments owed to the Company by Borrower under the Revolving Line of Credit Agreement. The Company believes Health Circle’s allegations to be without merit and intends to respond to the complaint and to assert its own claims against Borrower and its principal(s) for their failure to repay their debt under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

On April 28, 2023, the Company reached an agreement with the lenders of the Prime rate credit facilities due January 2026 that would allow it to draw a further $15,000 under its current Credit Agreement, but such funds would be maintained in a segregated account until dispersed and be restricted for use to only eligible capital expenditures. As part of this agreement, the Company has agreed to limit the total amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to $140,000 and to, at all times subsequent to the amendment, maintain collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equal to or greater than the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement.

The Company believes its focused strategy is the key to continued improvements in its financial results and shareholder value. For the past few years, the Company was focused on three key strategic objectives - accelerating growth in its core markets, driving profitability, and strengthening the balance sheet. For 2023 and onwards, the Company has modified its strategic objectives in response to Company and industry developments - focus on cash, accelerate growth in core markets with core brands and prepare for Canopy USA.

Focus on Cash: A combination of economic conditions, lack of regulatory change and industry competition impacting pricing ~~has~~have negatively impacted the Company’s ability to generate cash flow to support operational requirements and capital activities. Additionally, these factors have likely limited the additional capital that might be available to the Company. While these factors continue, the Company will focus on maximizing the cash flow generated by operating activities and limit capital expenditures to only those projects that can be funded from existing resources and are expected to generate near-term returns.

Accelerating Growth in Core Markets with Core Brands: Through prior acquisitions and capital expenditures, management believes Acreage is well positioned for future success in several key markets as regulations regarding the use of cannabis continue to evolve. The Company will continue to focus its growth onin its core markets where it can take advantage of and expand on the presence already established. Additionally, the Company has developed a portfolio of core brands that resonate with its customers. The Company will focus on ensuring that these core brands feature prominently in the markets where they are available.

Prepare for Canopy USA: During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a new strategic arrangement with Canopy Growth that, would allow Canopy Growth to acquire 100% of Acreage by (i) waiving its existing Floating Share option and entering into a new Floating Share ~~acquisition~~arrangement agreement; and (ii) committing to exercise its Fixed Share option, all subject to required approvals and terms of the related agreements. Throughout 2023, the Company ~~will take~~has taken all steps necessary to date to prepare for the eventual closing of ~~this transactions.~~these transactions, including holding a special meeting of shareholders to approve the Floating Share arrangement agreement.

Revenues, Cost of goods sold and Gross profit

The Company derives its revenues from sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products through retail dispensary, wholesale and manufacturing and cultivation businesses, as well as from management or consulting fees from entities for whom the Company provides management or consulting services.

Gross profit is revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes costs directly attributable to inventory sold such as direct material, labor, and overhead, including depreciation. Such costs are further affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis and cannabis-related products, which may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes.

This ~~organic growth~~decline was primarily driven by price compression and was offset by the commencement of adult use sales in New Jersey in April 2022 and Connecticut in January 2023.

Wholesale revenue for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 decreased by ~~$1,174,~~$1,158, or 8%, compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The decline in wholesale revenue was primarily due to price compression and decreased wholesale demand in select markets, particularly in those markets where integrated operators put a greater focus on the sales of their own internally produced products.

Retail cost of goods sold increased ~~$354, or 2%,~~$18 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared to ~~2022,~~the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was driven by inflation-driven cost increases, which was ~~generally consistent with the 1% increase in retail revenue.

Excluding these non-cash inventory adjustments, wholesale costs of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $1,754 or 24% compared to 2022. Inflation-driven cost increases were greater than the cost reductions associated with lower volumes.

Gross profit decreased $9,492, or 31%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $21,122 from $30,614 in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Gross margin decreased from 50% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 36% of revenue in 2023, or 14%. Efficiencies gained from further economies of scale were unable to offset (i) overall selling price declines, (ii) cost increases due to inflation, (iii) volume declines relative to a portion of the expenditures that are fixed in nature and, (iv) the aforementioned wholesale non-cash inventory adjustments. Excluding these non-cash inventory adjustments, margin decreased to 44%.

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $4,152, or 4%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Excluding these acquisitions and divestitures, total revenue decreased by $2,526, or 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 2022.

•Compensation expense increased $624 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 2022, primarily due to increased human capital costs and employee benefits.

•Equity-based compensation expense decreased $961, or 58%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 2022, primarily due to staffing reductions and changes made to the Company’s long-term incentive compensation plans.

•General and administrative expenses increased $2,125 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with 2022, primarily due to increases in (i) the cost of insurance, fees, permits and licenses, (ii) bad debt expenses of $1,250 related to the write-off of previously recognized management fees which are not collectible, (iii) increased travel as restrictions have been lifted and (iv) increased office expenses.

•Compensation expense decreased ~~$1,992~~$1,368 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared ~~with~~to 2022, primarily due to the reversal of bonus provisions related to the prior year.

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 net asset 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, (v) non-cash inventory adjustments and (vi) other non-recurring expenses (other expenses and income not expected to recur).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Sources and uses of cash (all amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

The Company’s primary uses of capital include operating expenses, income taxes, capital expenditures and the servicing of outstanding debt. The Company’s primary sources of capital include funds generated by cannabis sales as well as financing activities. Through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company had primarily used private financing as a source of liquidity for short-term working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company had cash of ~~$14,251.~~$30,029, including $16,401 of cash and cash equivalents and $13,628 of restricted cash, respectively, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company’s ability to fund its operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other obligations depends on its future operating performance and ability to obtain financing, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions, as well as financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.

The Company’s future contractual obligations include the following:

Leases

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company had future operating lease obligations and future finance lease obligations of ~~$34,221~~$31,745 and ~~$16,212,~~$15,988, respectively, with ~~$3,359~~$2,030 and ~~$677~~$453 payable within the next ~~nine~~six months, respectively. The Company leases land, buildings, equipment and other capital assets which it plans to use for corporate purposes in addition to the production and sale of cannabis products. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and are expensed in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not have any material variable lease payments, and accounts for non-lease components separately from leases. Refer to Note 8 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Debt

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding debt with varying maturities for an aggregate principal amount of ~~$216,937~~$243,968 (net of ~~$15,465~~$14,741 of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs), with ~~$1,583~~$12,904 payable within the remaining ~~nine~~six months. The Company has related future interest payments of $73,514, with $16,279 payable within the remaining ~~nine~~six months. In April 2023, the Company reached an agreement with its lenders that would allow it to draw a further $15,000 under its current credit agreement, but such funds would be restricted for use to only eligible capital expenditures. As part of this agreement, the Company agreed to not draw additional funds under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Notes 10 and 17 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Company expects that its ~~total readily available funds~~Cash and cash equivalents of ~~$14,251~~$16,401 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, ~~and its further ability to obtain private and/or public financing,~~ will be adequate to support the future obligations discussed above as well as the capital needs of the existing operations and expansion plans over the next twelve months. ~~Additionally,~~

Going Concern

As reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company ~~has~~had an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2023, as well as a ~~further $15,000~~net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023. 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 its obligations for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued, can be mitigated by, but not limited to, (i) expected long-term ~~debt available~~sales growth from ~~its committed debt facilities, but such funds are restricted for use~~the Company’s consolidated operations, (ii) latitude as to ~~only eligible~~the timing and amount of certain operating expenses as well as capital ~~expenditures. Further,~~expenditures, (iii) expense reduction plans that have already been put in ~~February 2023,~~place to improve the ~~Company filed for certain Employee Retention Tax Credits (“ERTC”)~~Company’s results, (iv) access to the U.S. and it expects to receive approximately $15,000, less applicable agent fees and other expenses. On April 11, 2023, the Company sold, with recourse, the rights to receive certain Employee Retention Tax Credits (“ERTC”) with an aggregate receivable value of $14.3 million for total proceeds of $12.1 million. Refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.Canadian public equity markets.

Cash flows

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were ~~$14,251~~$30,029 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, which represents a net ~~decrease~~increase of ~~$9,816~~$5,962 for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. The following table details the change in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash related to assets held for sale for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022.

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 for the period ending ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 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. GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

3241

(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 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.

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.

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.

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 a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting remained present as of ~~December 31, 2022.~~June 30, 2023. Specifically, as a result of turnover and the availability of resources with the appropriate level of technical capabilities (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. Additionally, and as a result of this material weakness, the Company’s financial disclosures for the quarterly and annual periods ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021 incorrectly reported the weighted average shares outstanding which resulted in an incorrect determination of earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Finally, for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not have adequate processes or sufficient resources to adequately assess the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and cutoff over inventory.

The Company has begun to address the material weaknesses described above through the following actions. Although the Company previously believed the material weaknesses would be addressed by the second half of 2023, due to continued staff turnover and the availability of resources with appropriate levels of technical capabilities, the Company now expects to complete these actions in 2024:

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 Company is working diligently to remediate this material weakness by hiring qualified and capable personnel. Further, we will continue to evaluate and assess the staffing needs of the Company as the landscape and needs of the Company continue to evolve. While we are working diligently to remediate this material weakness, there is no assurance that this material weakness will be fully remediated by ~~the~~December 31, 2024, 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

3342

Other than the changes discussed above in connection with our implementation of the remediation plan, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
