1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Glass House Brands Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Mercer Park Brand Acquisition Corp. (“Mercer Park”), was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on April 16, 2019. The Company is a vertically integrated cannabis company that operates in the state of California. The Company, through its subsidiaries cultivates, manufactures, and distributes cannabis bulk flower and trim to wholesalers and consumer packaged goods to third-party retail stores in the state of California. The Company also owns and operates retail cannabis stores in the state of California. The Company’s subordinate voting shares (“Subordinate Voting Shares”), restricted voting shares (“Restricted Voting Shares”) and limited voting shares (“Limited Voting Shares”, and collectively with the Subordinate Voting Shares and the Restricted Voting Shares, the “Equity Shares”), and common share purchase warrants are listed on the NEO Exchange Inc., trading under the symbols “GLAS.A.U” and “GLAS.WT.U”, respectively. The Equity Shares and common share purchase warrants also trade on the OTCQX in the United States under the symbols GLASF and GHBWF, respectively. The head office and principal address of the Company is 3645 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach, California 90807. The Company’s registered office in Canada is 2200 HSBC Building 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3E8.
Liquidity
Historically, the Company’s primary source of liquidity has been its operations, capital contributions made by equity investors and debt issuances. The Company is currently meeting its current operational obligations as they become due from its current working capital and from operations. However, the Company has sustained losses since inception and may require additional capital in the future. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $79,623,192 and net cash used in operating activities of $31,483,856. The Company estimates that based on current business operations and working capital, it will continue to meet its obligations as they become due in the short term.
The Company is generating cash from revenues and deploying its capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital reserves are primarily being utilized for capital expenditures, facility improvements, product development and marketing.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. In the event sufficient cash flow is not available from operating activities, the Company may continue to raise equity or debt capital from investors in order to meet liquidity needs. If the Company is not able to secure adequate additional funding, the Company may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations and future prospects. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or will be at terms acceptable to the Company.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies and critical estimates applied by the Company in these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, unless disclosed otherwise below. The Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, filed on March 22, 2022, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and those of the Company’s subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, if any, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been included.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes thereto, and have been prepared using the same accounting policies described therein.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)
ASC 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”) requires a variable interest holder to consolidate a VIE if that party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether or not a variable interest the Company holds could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of the Company’s involvement with the VIE. The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary or the entity is not a VIE and the Company does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions. The Company does not consolidate a VIE in which it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its relationships with all the VIE’s on an ongoing basis to reassess if it continues to be the primary beneficiary.
Basis of Consolidation
These Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control as defined in ASC 810. Subsidiaries over which the Company has control are fully consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. Control exists when the Company has ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent of the outstanding voting securities of another entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered.
Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest represents equity interests owned by parties that are not shareholders of the ultimate parent. The share of net assets attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a component of equity. Their share of net income or loss is recognized directly in equity. Changes in the parent company’s ownership interest that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
Segmented Information
The Company currently operates in one segment, the production and sale of cannabis products, which is how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker manages the business and makes operating decisions. All of the Company’s operations are in the United States of America in the State of California. Intercompany sales and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
During the preparation of the September 30, 2022 Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company became aware of a classification error in relation to the accounting for the Series A Preferred shares issued by a subsidiary, GH Group, Inc. The Series A Preferred shares were originally classified within shareholders’ equity as additional-paid in capital, whereas they should have been classified within equity as non-controlling interest. The error was related to the balance sheet only and resulted in an overstatement of total shareholders’ equity attributable to the Company and a corresponding understatement of non-controlling interest of approximately $29,487,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The error was corrected with a reclassification of approximately $29,487,000 in the shareholder’s equity portion of balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and was not considered material to any prior quarters’ Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. There was no change to total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, total liabilities, total shareholders’ equity, cash flows or profit and loss to any prior period, including the Company's quarterly Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, as a result of this reclassification.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash balances are those which meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents but are not available for use by the Company. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, restricted cash was $3.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, which is held in an escrow account and used as an interest reserve for the senior term loan agreement. See “Note 14 – Notes Payable and Convertible Debentures” for further discussion.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company calculates basic earnings or loss per share by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted-average number of Equity Shares (including Exchangeable Shares, as defined herein, on an as-exchanged basis) outstanding during the period. Multiple Voting Shares, as defined herein, are excluded in calculating earnings or loss per share as they do not participate in earnings or losses. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share if the issuance of shares on the exercise of convertible debentures, contingency issuable shares, warrants, restricted stock units and share options are anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share includes options, warrants, restricted stock units, and contingently issuable shares that are determined to be dilutive using the treasury stock method for all equity instruments issuable in equity units and the “if converted” method for the Company’s convertible debentures. See “Note 17 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share” for further information.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2021-04”), which amends existing guidance for earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260. ASU 2021-04 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. This update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04"), provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt instruments, derivatives, and other contracts that reference London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This guidance is optional and may be elected through December 31, 2022 using a prospective application on all eligible contract modifications. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to instruments affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company did not modify any material contracts due to reference rate reform during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of this accounting standard will have on its financial position and results of operations.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Subtopic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”), which is intended to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the recognition of an acquired contract liability and the effect of payment terms on subsequent revenue recognized. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. This update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this accounting standard.
On March 31, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors and amends the guidance on “vintage disclosures” to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under the current guidance and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancing and restructuring for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this accounting standard.

3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances at its physical locations, which are not currently insured, and with various U.S. banks with balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits, respectively. The failure of a bank 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 and results of operations. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced any losses with regards to its cash balances.
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout California. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

On May 12, 2022, the Company announced it executed definitive agreements (the “Agreements”) to acquire 100% equity interests in Natural Healing Center retail dispensaries. See “Note 10 – Business Acquisitions” for further information on the business combinations completed during the three months ended September 30, 2022. As a result, the Company reclassified $5,461,257 of the note receivable previously issued as consideration for the purchase of Natural Healing Center, LLC. As of September 30, 2022, three acquisitions related to the Natural Healing Center retail dispensaries (Natural Healing Center, LLC, NHC Lemoore, LLC and NHC-MB, LLC) have closed and one retail dispensary located in Turlock, California, is currently under construction and is currently in the process of being acquired. Calculation and payment of consideration for the acquisition of Turlock dispensary will occur at the end of its sixth full quarter of operations, at six times its annualized EBITDA in that quarter. The consideration will be paid 80% in stock priced at the 25-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of Equity Shares as of that quarter end and 20% in the form of an unsecured, subordinated promissory note bearing interest of 8% annually and maturing after the four-year anniversary of the closing date.
The Company issued senior secured promissory notes (“Notes”) in conjunction with the Agreements. The Notes have an interest rate of 15% per annum with outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to be paid in full in cash 180 days following the closing of the plan of merger of the Natural Healing Center.

6. INVESTMENTS
The Company has various investments in entities in which it holds a significant but non-controlling interest through voting equity or through representation on the entities’ board of directors or equivalent governing bodies. Accordingly, the Company was deemed to have significant influence resulting in the Company accounting for these investments under the equity method.
On August 17, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary, 5042 Venice, LLC, closed on the sale of the 50% held interest in its equity method investment (“TIC Interest”). As part of the transaction, the Company no longer has an equity interest in the TIC Interest, however, the Company became the manager of 5042 Real Estate Investment LLC (“5042 REI”) which acquired 42.93% of the TIC Interest and the remaining 7.07% was acquired by a related party of the Company.
On July 28, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining equity and property ownership interests of N.R.O Management, LLC and The Pottery, a retail dispensary located in Los Angeles.

Goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit, which is the operating segment level or one level below the operating segment. Goodwill arises when the purchase price for acquired businesses exceeds the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less assumed liabilities. Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value is recognized as a goodwill impairment loss. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of the last day of the fiscal year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, management noted no indications of impairment on its goodwill.

Upon closing of the business combination of Mercer Park and Glass House Brands, Inc. on June 29, 2021 (the “Business Combination”), 1,008,975 Equity Shares issued to the sponsor of Mercer Park were locked up by the Company. These shares are to be released from the lock-up restrictions based upon the amount of cash raised by the Company from certain debt and equity financings through June 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company released 392,819 Equity Shares that were originally subject to lock-up restrictions. In accordance with ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), management determined the provisions of these earnouts required liability treatment. Accordingly, the remaining 616,156 Equity Shares are subject to a capital-based earnout of permitted debt or equity financings within one year following closing, as further detailed in the Investor Rights Agreement entered into on June 29, 2021 in connection with the completion of the Business Combination (which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com). As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the value of the contingent earnout was $1,386,351 and $2,372,200, respectively, and included as a component of contingent shares and earnout liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in fair value of $320,401 and $985,849 were recorded as components of the change in fair value of contingent liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and is included in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, there was no such liability or change in fair value.
Additional earnout payments consisting of up to an additional 6,306,095 Equity Shares are issuable to the previous sponsor of Mercer Park and all holders of record of Equity Shares, the Exchangeable Shares, vested stock options and vested RSU’s as of September 30, 2022 in the event the 20-day VWAP of the Equity Shares reaches $13.00 or $15.00 within two years of closing of the Business Combination. In the event that the permitted debt or equity raised by the Company and Equity Share price targets are not met, as described in the Investor Rights Agreement, the earnout payments will be forfeited. In accordance with ASC 480, management determined the provisions of these earnouts did not require liability treatment. As of September 30, 2022, no Equity Shares were issued in connection with these earnouts.

As additional consideration for the Option Right, the Company issued 6,500,000 Equity Shares upon the closing of the Camarillo Transaction.

On December 9, 2021 (“Senior Secure Closing Date”), the Company entered into a senior secured term loan agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”) for total available proceeds of up to $100,000,000 with funds managed by a U.S.-based private credit investment fund and other third-party lenders (together, the “Senior Secured Lender”). Effective December 10, 2021, the Company closed on an initial term loan through the Credit Agreement of $50,000,000. The principal amount under the Credit Agreement will be paid in monthly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 1.25% per annum of the original principal amount, 24 months following the Senior Secure Closing Date, with a maturity date through November 30, 2026. Interest will be paid, beginning December 31, 2021, in monthly installments equal to the floating base rate plus the applicable term margin, or 5.25%. The interest rate will not be less than 10% per annum or exceed 12% per annum. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the interest rate was 10% and 10%, respectively.
Two additional delayed draw term loans may be requested by the Company in an amount equal to the principal amount of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed) each. The Company has optional and mandatory prepayments. Mandatory prepayments include any voluntary and involuntary sale or disposition of assets by the Company or any restricted subsidiaries. The outstanding principal amount of the obligation will be repaid by 100% of cash proceeds received from the sale or disposition of assets with certain exemptions as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of the Senior Secure Closing Date, the Company deposited an interest reserve in the amount of $3,000,000 into an escrow account and included as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Company’s real properties held in Glass House Farm LLC, Magu Farm LLC and GH Camarillo LLC were pledged as security.
The Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant which requires the Company to maintain liquidity in excess of $10,000,000 at all times. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with such financial covenant. Additionally, there are certain covenants which will require the Company to maintain a specific minimum debt service coverage ratio which will be measured quarterly beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2022. Such covenants were not in effect as of December 31, 2021.
Amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On January 21, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement (the “1st Amendment”) wherein certain events of default were waived.
On May 12, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement (the “2nd Amendment”) wherein certain events of default were waived, and the Company entered into an incremental term loan in the amount of $10,000,000 (“Incremental Term Loan”), for total available proceeds of $110,000,000. The Incremental Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and payable in monthly installments. In addition, a 1% fee of the outstanding principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan is payable in monthly installments beginning August 1, 2022, with a maturity date through October 31, 2022. In connection with the Incremental Term Loan, the Company issued 175,000 warrants to the Senior Secured Lender, with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, to acquire each Equity Share until June 26, 2026. These warrants were fair valued using Level 1 inputs as these warrants are openly traded on a stock exchange. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an additional debt discount of $89,250 related to the change in terms of the credit agreement. In addition to receiving the $10,000,000 in Incremental Term Loan, the Company paid $579,000 in direct loan fees, which are recorded as a debt discount.

14. NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (Continued)
On August 30, 2022, the Company repaid the $10,000,000 Incremental Term Loan in cash. In accordance with ASC 470 “Modifications and Extinguishments,” the Company recorded $489,647 of unamortized debt discount as a loss on extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Convertible Debentures
On April 28, 2022, the Company completed the Plus Products acquisition in which the purchase price was payable in part through an aggregate of 20,005 unsecured convertible debenture notes which consist of 12,003 debenture notes (“Series A Notes”) and 8,002 debenture notes (“Series B Notes”) (collectively “Plus Convertible Notes”). The Plus Convertible Notes accrue interest at 8.00% per annum payable in semi-annual arrears until April 15, 2027 (“Maturity Date”). Interest is payable in cash, by the issuance of in the Company’s Equity Shares or a combination of both at the sole discretion of the Company, based on the 10-day VWAP of the Equity Shares ending 5 trading days prior to the interest payment date with a fixed exchange rate of USD$1.00 to CAD$1.27.
The Series A Notes are redeemable, at the sole option of the Company, in full or in part on a pro rata basis, and payable in cash, by the issuance of the Company’s Equity Shares, or a combination of both, at any time through the Maturity Date based on the higher of (i) the 10-day VWAP of the Equity Shares ending 5 trading days prior to the redemption date, or (ii) $4.08 (“Redemption Right”).
The Series B Notes are redeemable, at the sole option of the Company, in full or in part on a pro rata basis, and payable in cash, by the issuance of the Company’s Equity Shares, or a combination of both, at any time through the Maturity Date based on the lower of (i) the 10-day VWAP of the Equity Shares ending 5 trading days prior to the redemption date, or (ii) $10.00 per Equity Share. In the event the Company’s Equity Shares achieve a closing price of $10.00 per share over any period greater than or equal to 20 consecutive trading days, each holder of the Series B Notes may elect to convert all or a portion of their holdings into the Company’s Equity Shares based on a conversion price of $10.00 per Equity Share. As of September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $11,894,989 and $4,111,095 for the Series A Notes and Series B Notes, respectively. The conversion features of the Series A and Series B Notes were bifurcated from the related notes and classified as derivatives due to the variability of price in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the fair value of the conversion features for the Series A and Series B Notes were measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow model that is based on unobservable inputs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a change in derivative asset of approximately $25,000 and $78,000, respectively, as a component of change in fair value of derivatives in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

15. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the authorized share capital of the Company is comprised of an unlimited number of (i) Subordinate Voting Shares, (ii) Restricted Voting Shares, (iii) Limited Voting Shares, (iv) Multiple Voting Shares and (v) Preferred Shares:
Multiple Voting Shares
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares without nominal or par value. Holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to receive notice of any meeting of shareholders of the Company, and to attend, vote and speak at such meetings, except those meetings at which only holders of a specific class of shares are entitled to vote separately as a class under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). On all matters upon which holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to vote, each Multiple Voting Share entitles the holder thereof to 50 votes per Multiple Voting Share. Multiple Voting Shares are not entitled to dividends and are not convertible. The Multiple Voting Shares have three (3)-year sunset period that will expire June 29, 2024, upon which they will be automatically redeemed for $0.001 per Multiple Voting Share.
Equity Shares
The holders of each class of Equity Shares are entitled to receive notice of, to attend (if applicable, virtually) and to vote at all meetings of shareholders of the Company, except that they are not able to vote (but are entitled to receive notice of, to attend and to speak) at those meetings at which the holders of a specific class are entitled to vote separately as a class under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and except that holders of Limited Voting Shares are not entitled to vote for the election of directors of the Company. The Subordinate Voting Shares and Restricted Voting Shares carry one vote per share on all matters. The Limited Voting Shares carry one vote per share on all matters except the election of directors, as the holders of Limited Voting Shares do not have any entitlement to vote in respect of the election for directors of the Company.
In the case of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Equity Shares are entitled, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of the Company ranking in priority to the Equity Shares (including any liquidation preference on any issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares and/or Preferred Shares), to participate ratably the Company’s remaining property along with all holders of the other classes of Equity Shares (on a per share basis).
Exchangeable Shares of MPB Acquisition Corp.
Exchangeable shares (the “Exchangeable Shares”) are part of the authorized share capital of MPB Acquisition Corp. (“MPB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which entitle their holders to rights that are comparable to those rights attached to the Equity Shares, except that (i) each Exchangeable Share has 1.1 votes per share until June 29, 2022, after which they will have one vote per share, and (ii) the aggregate voting power of the Exchangeable Shares must not exceed 49.9% of the total voting power of all classes of shares of MPB. Until a holder exchanges their Exchangeable Shares for Equity Shares, the holder of such Exchangeable Shares will not have the right to vote at meetings of the shareholders of the Company, though they will have the right to vote at meetings of the shareholders of MPB, including with respect to altering the rights of holders of any of the Exchangeable Shares, or if MPB decides to take certain actions without fully protecting the holders of any of the Exchangeable Shares, or as otherwise required by law. The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable at any time, on a one-for-one basis, for Equity Shares at the option of the holder.
The Company treats the Exchangeable Shares as options, each with a value equal to an Equity Share, which represents the holder’s claim on the equity of the Company. In order to comply with certain contractual requirements of the Business Combination, the Company and MPB are required to maintain the economic equivalency of such Exchangeable Shares with the publicly traded Equity Shares of the Company. This means the Exchangeable Shares are required to share the same economic benefits and retain the same proportionate ownership in the assets of the Company as the holders of the Equity Shares. The Company has presented these Exchangeable Shares as a part of shareholders’ equity within these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements due to (i) the fact that they are economically equivalent to the Equity Shares, and (ii) the holders of the Exchangeable Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer under US securities laws but may dispose of the Exchangeable Shares without such restriction by exchanging them for Equity Shares. Changes in these assumptions would affect the presentation of the Exchangeable Shares from shareholders’ equity to non-controlling interests; however, there would be no impact on earnings per share.

The maximum number of Awards that may be issued under the Incentive Plan is 10% of the fully-diluted Equity Shares of the Company (inclusive of the Exchangeable Shares) as calculated using the treasury method. The Incentive Plan is an “evergreen” plan, meaning that if an Award expires, becomes un-exercisable, or is cancelled, forfeited or otherwise terminated without having been exercised or settled in full, as the case may be, the Equity Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of the Award shall again become available for future grant or sale under the Incentive Plan (unless the Incentive Plan has terminated by its terms), and the number of Awards available for grant will increase as the number of issued and outstanding Equity Shares increases. Granting and vesting of Awards are determined by and recommended to the Board for approval by the Compensation, Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price for options (if applicable) will generally not be less than the fair market value of the Award at the time of grant and will generally expire after 5 years.

17. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The following is a reconciliation for the calculation of net income (loss) attributable to the Company and the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:
| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |
| | 2022 | | | 2021 | | | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company | | $ | 15,175,594 | | | $ | (7,728,476 | ) | | $ | (18,795,902 | ) | | $ | (25,598,990 | ) |
Less Dividends and Increase in Redemption Values of GH Group Preferreds Shares | | | (12,224,614 | ) | | | (888,342 | ) | | | (13,954,392 | ) | | | (908,375 | ) |
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company | | $ | 2,950,980 | | | $ | (8,616,818 | ) | | $ | (32,750,294 | ) | | $ | (26,507,365 | ) |
Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding - Basic | | | 61,647,076 | | | | 51,293,958 | | | | 59,271,500 | | | | 33,305,042 | |

Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to the Company - Basic | | $ | 0.05 | | | $ | (0.17 | ) | | $ | (0.55 | ) | | $ | (0.80 | ) |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to the Company -Diluted | | $ | 0.04 | | | $ | (0.17 | ) | | $ | (0.55 | ) | | $ | (0.80 | ) |
Net income attributable to the Company, as reported, is adjusted for dividends and various other adjustments as defined in ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”.
After adjustments as defined in ASC 260, if the Company is in a net loss position, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share when the issuance of shares on the exercise of convertible debentures, warrants, RSU’s and share options are anti-dilutive. After adjustments, as defined in ASC 260, if the Company is in a net income position, diluted earnings per share includes options, warrants, restricted stock units, convertible debt and contingently issuable shares that are determined to be dilutive using the treasury stock method for all equity instruments issuable in equity units and the “if converted” method for the Company’s convertible debt.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding included the basic weighted-average shares outstanding as well as 19,692 dilutive stock options, 2,047,223 contingent and non-contingent shares payable and 4,886,439 shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s convertible debentures.

18. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |
| | 2022 | | | 2021 | | | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
Current: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Federal | | $ | 1,959,267 | | | $ | 737,570 | | | $ | 3,638,725 | | | $ | 4,189,281 | |

Federal | | | 85,639 | | | | (44,133 | ) | | | (1,401,343 | ) | | | (245,600 | ) |
State | | | (49,339 | ) | | | (5,798 | ) | | | (665,846 | ) | | | (81,567 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total Deferred | | | 36,300 | | | | (49,931 | ) | | | (2,067,189 | ) | | | (327,167 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total Provision for Income Tax Expense | | $ | 2,629,995 | | | $ | 772,792 | | | $ | 3,012,244 | | | $ | 5,036,744 | |
The Company has used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company determined that since small changes in estimated ordinary income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for the fiscal three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E (“Section 280E”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of goods sold (“COGS”) of its product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed nonallowable under Section 280E, and the Company deducts all operating expenses on its state tax returns.
The Company has determined that the tax impact of its corporate overhead allocation was not more likely than not to be sustained on the merits as required under ASC 740 “Income Taxes” due to the evolving interpretations of Section 280E. As a result, the Company included in the balance of total unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, potential benefits of $1,796,403 and $1,449,046, respectively, that if recognized would impact the effective tax rate on income from operations. Unrecognized tax benefits that reduce a net operating loss, similar to tax loss or tax credit carryforwards, are presented as a reduction to deferred income taxes.
The Company’s evaluation of tax positions was performed for those tax years which remain open to for audit. The Company may from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by the taxing authorities, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company is assessed for interest and/or penalties, such amounts will be classified as income tax expense in the financial statements.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s federal tax returns since 2018 and state tax returns since 2017 are still subject to adjustment upon audit. No tax returns are currently being examined by any taxing authorities. While it is reasonably possible that certain portions of the unrecognized tax benefit may change from a lapse in applicable statute of limitations, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the effect of any amount of such a change to previously recorded uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months.

As such, no accrual has been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements relating to claims and litigations. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates were an adverse party to the Company or had a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
