Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco Labs” or the “Company”), formerly known as Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. The Company is one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell retail and medical cannabis products primarily through Sunnyside*®, Cresco Labs’ national dispensary brand and third-party retail stores. Employing a consumer-packaged goods approach to cannabis, Cresco Labs’ house of brands is designed to meet the needs of all consumer segments and includes some of the most recognized and trusted national brands including Cresco®, High Supply®, Mindy’sTM, Good News®, RemediTM, Wonder Wellness Co.® and FloraCal® Farms. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Arizona, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Florida and Maryland pursuant to the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act and the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act; the Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Act; the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program; the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act; the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act and the Smart and Safe Arizona Act; the New York Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act; the Massachusetts Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act, the Massachusetts Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana and the Massachusetts Act to Ensure Safe Access to Marijuana; the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act and the Michigan Marihuana Tracking Act; the Florida Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act; and the Maryland Medical Cannabis Law, respectively.
On November 30, 2018, in connection with a reverse takeover (the “Transaction”), the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg common shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis, and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing classes of common shares, redesignate such classes as the class of SVS and create the classes of PVS and Super Voting Shares (“MVS”).
Pursuant to the Transaction, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco Labs, LLC, a series of transactions were completed on November 30, 2018, resulting in a reorganization of Cresco Labs, LLC and Randsburg in which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco Labs. The Transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco Labs, LLC under applicable securities laws. Cresco Labs, LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Cresco LLC limited liability agreement (“Pre-Combination LLC Agreement”). The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Transaction.
The Company trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol “CL,” on the Over-the-Counter Market under the ticker symbol “CRLBF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “6CQ.”
The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110, 400 W Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654. The registered office is located at Suite 2500, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) | Basis of Preparation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270 Interim Reporting. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as filed on SEDAR. Consolidated Balance Sheets for the year ended December 31, 2022 were derived from audited financial statements filed on SEDAR on March 21, 2023. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other reporting period. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(b) | Basis of Measurement |
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain loans receivable, investments, derivative instruments and contingent considerations, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets acquired and the contractual obligation for liabilities incurred.
(c) | Functional and Presentation Currency |
The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of its subsidiaries is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other income, net in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than USD (e.g., C$) are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date; revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rate of exchange during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries and net investments in foreign operations are included in Foreign currency translation differences, net of tax in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(d) | Basis of Consolidation |
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated upon consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power over the investee, is exposed, or has

(e) | Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. The Company presents basic and diluted EPS in the unaudited condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential shares, which are comprised of redeemable Cresco Labs, LLC shares (“Redeemable Units”); options, warrants and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued. Shares with anti-dilutive impacts are excluded from the calculation. The number of shares included with respect to Redeemable Units, options, warrants and RSUs is computed using the treasury stock method.
As of December 31, 2022, all warrants that had not previously been exercised were expired. Potentially dilutive shares as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the periods presented consisted of the following:

NOTE 9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a share-based compensation plan (the “Plan”) for key employees and service providers. Under the Plan, options issued have no voting rights and vest proportionately over periods ranging from the grant date to four years from the issuance date. Stock options exercised are converted to SVS. The maximum number of shares issued under the Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares.
A summary of the status of the options outstanding consisted of the following:

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 | ||
Risk-free annual interest rate | 3.7% to 3.9% | |
Expected annual dividend yield | 0% | |
Expected stock price volatility | 78.2% to 80.2% | |
Expected life of stock options | 5.0 to 7.0 years | |
Forfeiture rate | 7.2% to 28.0% | |
Fair value at grant date | $1.10 to $1.37 | |
Stock price at grant date | $1.60 to $1.83 | |
Exercise price range | $1.60 to $1.83 |
Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative group of direct and indirect peers of publicly traded companies, as the Company and the cannabis industry have minimal historical share price history available. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical forfeitures experienced by the Company.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company has an RSU program to provide employees an additional avenue to participate in the successes of the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on the date of grant.
A summary of outstanding RSUs is provided below:
(Shares in thousands) | Number of RSUs outstanding | Weighted- average fair value | Weighted- average remaining contractual life (years) | Aggregate intrinsic value | ||||||||||||

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Cresco recorded a total of $46.9 million deferred consideration related to the Laurel Harvest acquisition. Total deferred consideration is payable on or before the 18-month anniversary of the acquisition, with accelerated payments required for each of five (5) new dispensaries opened during the 18-month earnout period. The liability was further adjusted to $47.8 million at December 31, 2022 based on our expectation of the value of the liability at that time. In the first quarter of 2023, a payment of $10.0 million was made, which was comprised of a stock issuance valued at $9.7 million and cash payments of $0.3 million. See Note 8 for further discussion of equity issued.
As of March 31, 2023, the total estimated liability related to the Valley Ag acquisition of $8.1 million, which is comprised of $2.0 million of short-term and $6.1 million of long-term liabilities, is based on the present value of expected payments associated with the future cash flows of Valley Ag and the expected timing of those payments.

(c) | Pending Acquisitions |
On March 23, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (“Arrangement Agreement”) with Columbia Care Inc. (“Columbia Care”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Columbia Care pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”), in an all-share transaction (the “Columbia Care Transaction”). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, holders of common shares of Columbia Care will receive 0.5579 SVS of Cresco Labs for each Columbia Care share, subject to adjustment. The shareholders of Columbia Care voted in favor of a special resolution to approve the Arrangement on July 8, 2022. The Company continues to work toward successful regulatory approvals to complete the transaction, which are beyond the control of the Company, including required divestitures identified in several states as discussed below. The Company continues to collaborate closely with Columbia Care on the required divestiture transactions to find a path forward that makes both strategic and financial sense. The Company has no update on the timing for execution of agreements relating to outstanding divestiture transactions discussed below at this time.
(d) | Pending Dispositions |
While divestitures will be required for state regulatory approvals of the Columbia Care Transaction, the scope and financial impact of any divestitures cannot be quantified at this time. On November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest certain New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts assets (the “Assets”) of Cresco Labs and Columbia Care to entities owned and controlled by Sean “Diddy” Combs, (the “Combs Transaction”) for total consideration of $185.0 million (the “Purchase Price”). The divestiture of the Assets is required for Cresco Labs to close its previously announced acquisition of Columbia Care and is expected to close concurrently with the closing of the Columbia Care Transaction. The purchasing entities will acquire certain Cresco Labs and Columbia Care assets in New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts. A portion of the Purchase Price is payable upon closing of the Combs Transaction, subject to adjustments contained in the definitive agreements, and will be comprised of approximately $110.0 million in cash and approximately $45.0 million of seller notes. The remaining portion of the Purchase Price is payable post-closing of the Combs Transaction upon achievement of certain short-term, objective, and market-based milestones. The following combination of Cresco Labs (“CL”) and Columbia Care (“CC”) assets will be divested in the Combs Transaction:
• | New York: Brooklyn (CC), Manhattan (CC), New Hartford (CL), and Rochester (CC) retail assets and Rochester (CC) production asset. |
• | Massachusetts: Greenfield (CC), Worcester (CL), and Leicester (CL) retail assets and Leicester (CL) production asset. |
• | Illinois: Chicago – Jefferson Park (CC) and Villa Park (CC) retail assets and Aurora (CC) production asset. |
The closing of the divestitures noted above is subject to certain closing conditions in the definitive agreements, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals; clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act; and the closing of the Columbia Care Acquisition. The divestiture listed do not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023 due to the closing conditions noted above, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.

(a) | Senior Loan |
On August 12, 2021, the Company closed on an agreement for a senior secured term loan with an undiscounted principal balance of $400 million (the “Senior Loan”) and an original issue discount of $13.0 million. A portion of proceeds from the Senior Loan were used to retire the then existing term loan, with the remainder to fund capital expenditures and pursue other targeted growth initiatives within the U.S. cannabis sector.
The Senior Loan accrues interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually and has a stated maturity of August 12, 2026. The Company’s effective interest rate for the Senior Loan is 11.0%. The Company capitalized $10.9 million of borrowing costs related to the Senior Loan, of which $7.0 million is payable upon principal repayment of the Senior Loan and thus, is reflected within Other long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Senior Loan is secured by a guarantee from substantially all material subsidiaries of the Company, as well as by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and such material subsidiaries. The Senior Loan contains negative covenants which restrict the actions of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term of the loan, including restrictions on paying dividends, making investments and incurring additional indebtedness. The Company is also subject to compliance with affirmative covenants, some of which may require management to exercise judgment. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $50.0 million.
The Company may prepay in whole or in part the Senior Loan at any time prior to the stated maturity date, subject to certain conditions. Any prepayment of the outstanding principal amount may be subject to a prepayment premium as defined in the loan agreement, and would include all accrued and unpaid interest and fees. Interest expense is discussed in Note 19.
As discussed in Note 10, on March 23, 2022, the Company announced it had entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Columbia Care to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Columbia Care. On March 23, 2022, Cresco entered into a consent agreement with respect to the Senior Loan pursuant to which certain amendments were made to the Senior Loan which are conditional and effective on the closing of the
24
Cresco Labs Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Arrangement (the “Amended Senior Loan”). The Amended Senior Loan permits the Arrangement, Cresco’s assumption of certain Columbia Care debt and certain proposed asset sales in connection with the Arrangement, in each case, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Senior Loan.
(b) | Financing Liabilities |
The Company has additional financing liabilities for which the incremental borrowing rates range from 11.3% to 17.5% with remaining terms between 6.8 and 17.3 years, consistent with the underlying lease liabilities. The interest expense associated with financing liabilities is discussed in Note 19.
NOTE 12. REVENUES AND LOYALTY PROGRAMS
(a) | Revenues |
The following table represents the Company’s disaggregated revenue by source, due to the Company’s contracts with its customers, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
($ in thousands) | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||
Wholesale | $ | 82,419 | $ | 95,109 | ||||

|
|
|
| |||||
Total Revenues | $ | 194,202 | $ | 214,391 | ||||
|
|
|
|
The Company generates revenues, net of sales discounts, at the point in time the control of the product is transferred to the customer, as the Company has a right to payment and the customer has assumed significant risks and rewards of such product without any remaining performance obligation. Sales discounts were 13.2% and 10.0% of gross revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company does not enter into long-term sales contracts.
(b) | Loyalty Programs |
In the states of Illinois, Arizona, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Ohio and Massachusetts; the Company has customer loyalty programs where retail customers accumulate points based on their level of spending. These points are recorded as a contract liability until customers redeem their points for discounts on cannabis products as part of an in-store sales transaction. Loyalty points may be redeemed by customers for a range of $0.01 to $0.03 off of future purchases. The Company records a performance obligation as a reduction of revenue that ranges between $0.01 and $0.03 per loyalty point, inclusive of breakage expectations. Upon redemption, the loyalty program obligation is relieved and the offset is recorded as revenue. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 160.1 million and 112.3 million points outstanding, respectively, with an approximate value of $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company expects outstanding loyalty points to be redeemed within 1 year.

NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
(a) | Transactions with Key Management Personnel |
Related parties, including key management personnel, hold 89.0 million Redeemable Units of Cresco Labs, LLC, which is equal to a deficit of $50.9 million of Non-controlling interests as of March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 72.0% and 85.3%, respectively, of required tax distribution payments in accordance with the tax receivable agreement to holders of Cresco Labs, LLC were made to related parties including to key management personnel.
(b) | Related Parties – Leases |
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had lease liabilities for real estate lease agreements in which the lessors have a minority interest in SLO Cultivation, Inc. (“SLO”) and MedMar, Inc (“MedMar”). The lease liabilities were incurred in January 2019 and May 2020 and were to expire in 2027 through 2030, except for the leases associated with SLO minority interest holders (“SLO Leases”). During the second quarter of 2022, the Company exercised its early termination right to reduce the SLO Leases term to 180 days. This early termination resulted in a reduction in lease liability and ROU assets. The remaining liability for the SLO Leases expired in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The Company has liabilities for real estate leases and other financing agreements in which the lessor is Clear Heights Properties where Dominic Sergi, MVS shareholder, is Chief Executive Officer. The liabilities were incurred by entering into operating leases, finance leases and other financing transactions with terms that will expire in 2030. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company received tenant improvement allowance reimbursements of $nil and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company expects to receive further reimbursements of $0.8 million within the next twelve months.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) | Claims and Litigation |
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2023, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s results of operations, financial positions or cash flows. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
(b) | Contingencies |
The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on the Company’s operations, suspension or revocation of permits or licenses, or other disciplinary actions (collectively, “Disciplinary Actions”) that could adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with state and local regulations as of March 31, 2023 and through the date of filing of these financial statements, these regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations and enforcement. As a result, the Company may be subject to Disciplinary Actions in the future.
(c) | Commitments |
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had total commitments of $8.8 million related to material construction projects. During the first quarter of 2022, pursuant to the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, the Company issued $0.2 million in loans to an Illinois company which has secured Craft Grower Licenses to operate in the state and $1.0 million in loans to groups that have been identified by the state of Illinois as having the opportunity to receive Conditional Adult Use Dispensing Organization Licenses. These loans are discussed in Note 16. These loans fully satisfy the Company’s funding requirements under Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act; however, the Company may elect to fund similar loans in the future.
The Company has employment agreements with key management personnel which include severance in the event of termination totaling approximately $4.6 million with additional equity and/or benefit compensation.
NOTE 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or ECLs, as applicable) or fair value. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at fair value.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:
• | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
28
Cresco Labs Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
• | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and |
• | Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. |
There have been no transfers into or out of level 3 for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Pursuant to the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, the Company has issued $0.3 million in loans to an Illinois company which has secured a Craft Grower License to operate in the state and $1.0 million in loans to groups that have been identified by the state of Illinois as having the opportunity to receive Conditional Adult Use Dispensing Organization Licenses. One (1) $0.1 million loan related to the Craft Grower License, was fully funded on July 20, 2021 and matures on July 20, 2026. The remaining loans of $1.2 million were fully funded on March 21, 2022 and mature on July 20, 2027. The loans are measured at amortized cost and bear no interest.
Financial Risk Management
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument-related risks. The Board of Directors and Company management mitigate these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:
(a) | Credit and Banking Risk |
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or a third-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its growth in its key retail markets, as payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer at our dispensaries, which currently accept only cash and debit cards. Additionally, the Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its loan counterparties as the interest rate on our Senior Loan is not variable and therefore, is not materially impacted by interest rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the U.S. House of Representatives but were not voted on within the U.S. Senate, and would need to be reintroduced by Congress. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept or deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry, leading to an increased risk of legal actions against the Company and forfeitures of the Company’s assets.
The Company’s aging of Accounts receivables as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $2.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, to account for ECL and recorded an additional $0.6 million and $nil, respectively, in bad debt related to invoice write-offs. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Management
32
Cresco Labs Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
committed to a plan to restructure certain operations and activities within the California reporting unit. Related to that plan, during the first quarter of 2023, the Company reserved for approximately $1.0 million of Accounts Receivable at the impacted California entities.
(b) | 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 was 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.
(c) | Liquidity Risk |
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred historical losses from operations. Management has implemented strategies to expand its retail footprint, increase revenues, cut cost, improve margins and obtain additional financing if needed. There can be no assurances that Management’s plans would materialize as expected.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company primarily manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure by ensuring that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had working capital (defined as current assets less restricted cash, less current liabilities) of $12.1 million. The Company expects to continue to raise capital to fund operations and the expansion of its business.
In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 15, the Company has the following contractual obligations as of March 31, 2023:

(d) | Market Risk |
(i) | Currency Risk |
The operating results and balance sheet of the Company are reported in USD. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are primarily in USD. However, from time to time some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than USD. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $nil in foreign currency exchanges, compared to a $0.1 million gain in foreign currency exchanges for the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 13 for additional details.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.
(ii) | Interest Rate Risk |
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An increase or decrease in the Company’s incremental borrowing rate would result in an associated increase or decrease in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables and Interest expense, net. The Company’s Senior Loan accrues interest at a rate of 9.5%, per annum and has an effective interest rate of 11.0%.
(iii) | Price Risk |
Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities and contingent consideration that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price would result in an associated increase or decrease to Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables, short-term and Derivative liabilities, short-term with a corresponding change to Other income, net.
(iv) | Tax Risk |
Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Currently, state-licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of goods sold when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 20 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

(v) | Regulatory Risk |
Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state and national levels. Although the regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, any unforeseen regulatory changes could have a material adverse impact on the goals and operation of the Company’s business.
(vi) | Economic Risk |
The Company’s business, financial condition and operating results may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions. A global economic slowdown would cause disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy and declining consumer and business confidence, which can lead to decreased levels of consumer spending. These macroeconomic developments could negatively impact the Company’s business, which depends on the general economic environment and levels of consumer spending. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain its existing customers or attract new customers, or the Company may be forced to reduce the price of its products. The Company is unable to predict the likelihood of the occurrence, duration or severity of such disruptions in the credit and financial markets or adverse global economic conditions. Any general or market-specific economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
(vii) | Inflation Risk |
The Company has experienced increased inflationary pressures, including increased cultivation costs, distribution costs and operating expenses, which adversely has impacted our operating results. The Company expects these inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2023. The Company maintains strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy and commodity costs, which include cost reduction, sourcing and other actions, which may help to offset a portion of the adverse impact.

NOTE 20. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well as some state income tax purposes. Under IRC Section 280E, the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. However, certain states including Arizona, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and New York (Adult Use) do not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company generally deducts all operating expenses on its income tax returns in these states.
The Company is treated as a United States corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7874 and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes the Company, regardless of any application of IRC Section 7874, is treated as a Canadian resident company, as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Company is subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.
The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
($ in thousands) | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||
Loss before income taxes | $ | (11,003 | ) | $ | (868 | ) | ||
Income tax expense | (16,809 | ) | (22,807 | ) | ||||
Effective tax rate | (152.8 | )% | (2,627.5 | )% |
