Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Glass House Brands Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Glass House Brands Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

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 exclusively 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 (the “Subordinate Voting Shares”), restricted voting shares (the “Restricted Voting Shares”) and limited voting shares (the “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.

Business Combination Transaction

On January 31, 2020, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (and various securities exchange agreements), a roll-up transaction (the “Roll-Up”) was consummated whereby the assets and liabilities of a combined group of investment fund entities were merged with and into GH Group, Inc., formerly known as California Cannabis Enterprises, Inc. (“GH Group”), whereby GH Group survived the merger and now owns and controls the assets from such merged out entities.

On June 29, 2021, Mercer Park, a special purpose acquisition corporation (or “SPAC”) listed on the Neo Exchange Inc. in Canada, consummated its qualifying transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 8, 2021, as amended (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Mercer Park indirectly acquired 100% of the common equity interests of GH Group, which included all outstanding Class A and Class B common shares and a certain portion of Series A preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) which were converted to common equity interests of GH Group. In addition, Mercer Park assumed all outstanding common share purchase warrants and the Preferred Shares purchase warrants and assumed or exchanged or caused to be exchanged all qualified incentive stock options of GH Group. The Business Combination was effectuated by a reverse merger of an indirect subsidiary of Mercer Park with GH Group, with GH Group as the surviving entity that became a majority-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Business Combination, GH Group’s shareholders became the controlling shareholders of Mercer Park, which changed its name to Glass House Brands Inc. concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination.

Upon closing of the Business Combination, Mercer Park indirectly acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of GH Group with the exception of a portion of GH Group’s Preferred Shares, in exchange for an aggregate of 50,151,101 Equity Shares of the Company (which in total includes, on an as-exchanged basis, the Equity Shares issuable upon exchange of outstanding exchangeable shares (the “Exchangeable Shares”) of the Company’s subsidiary, MPB Acquisition Corp. (“MPB”)). The Company also issued 4,754,979 Multiple Voting Shares to certain founders of GH Group. In addition, 28,489,500 of the common share purchase warrants previously issued and outstanding in the capital of Mercer Park were assumed and remain outstanding. Of the 50,151,101 Equity Shares (inclusive of the Exchangeable Shares on an as-exchanged basis) noted above, 731,369 Exchangeable Shares are held in escrow pending any final working capital adjustments. Additionally, 1,008,975 Equity Shares issued to the previous sponsor of Mercer Park are subject to a contractual lock-up with 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. As of December 31, 2022, the Company released 392,819 Equity Shares that were originally subject to the lock-up restrictions, and 616,156 Equity Shares are subject to a capital-based earnout of permitted debt or equity financings within one year following the closing of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2022, additional earnout payments consisting of up to an additional 6,306,095 Equity Shares were issuable to the previous sponsor of Mercer Park and all holders of record of the Company’s Equity Shares, the Exchangeable Shares, vested stock options and vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as of December 31, 2022, in the event the 20-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Equity Shares reaches $13.00 or $15.00 within two years of closing the Business Combination. In the event that the permitted debt or equity raised by the Company and the Equity Share price targets are not met, the earnout payments will be forfeited.

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

GH Group was deemed to be the acquirer in the Business Combination for accounting and financial reporting purposes based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). This determination was primarily based on GH Group’s stockholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting interests in the Company following the closing of the Business Combination, GH Group’s operations comprising the entirety of the ongoing operations of the Company, GH Group’s designees comprising a majority of the board of directors of Company, and GH Group’s senior management comprising the senior management of the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of GH Group issuing stock for the net assets of Mercer Park, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Mercer Park are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

While Mercer Park was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because GH Group was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of GH Group became the historical financial statements of the Company upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of GH Group prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company and GH Group following the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of GH Group at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure before and after the Business Combination.

In accordance with applicable guidance, the equity structure of the Company has been restated in all comparative periods to reflect the number of Equity Shares (including the Exchangeable Shares on an as-exchanged basis) issued to GH Group’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination on the statement of changes in shareholders equity and the footnotes to the Financial Statements. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to GH Group’s Class A and Class B common shares prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated to reflect an exchange ratio of 10.27078 Class A or Class B common shares of GH Group, as applicable, per 1 Equity Share of the Company, as established pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

COVID-19

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities have enacted and implemented various recommendations and safety measures in an attempt to limit the spread and magnitude of the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, including government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, did not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations during the current reporting period. While the ultimate severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment remains uncertain, the Company continues to closely monitor the potential impact that a resurgence of the COVID-19 virus, including as a result of the emergence of new variants and strains, could have on the Company’s operations. In the event that the Company were to experience widespread transmission of the virus at one or more of the Company’s stores or other facilities, the Company could suffer reputational harm or other potential liabilities. Further, the Company’s business operations may be materially and adversely affected if a significant number of the Company’s employees are impacted by the virus.

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

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 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 year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $96,362,182, a net loss from operations of $35,534,892 and net cash used in operating activities of $40,804,768. 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 its 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 on terms acceptable to the Company.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying 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”) and reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of the Company’s subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 have been included.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (a “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 Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022 and 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.

The following are the Company’s principal wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries and/or affiliates that are included in these consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

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.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of total net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates significant estimates and assumptions related to the consolidation or non-consolidation of variable interest entities, estimated useful lives, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, inventory valuation, share-based compensation, business combinations, goodwill impairment, long-lived asset impairment, purchased asset valuations, fair value of financial instruments, compound financial instruments, derivative liabilities, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, incremental borrowing rates, lease terms applicable to lease contracts and going concern. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results the Company experiences may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations could be negatively impacted.

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

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. GH Group issued Series A Preferred Shares which were classified initially in error as additional paid-in-capital within shareholders’ equity whereas they should have been classified within shareholders’ equity as a non-controlling interest. The error resulted in an overstatement of total shareholders’ equity attributable to the Company of approximately $29,487,000 and a corresponding understatement of non-controlling interest of approximately $29,487,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 to reclassify approximately $29,487,000 in shareholder’s equity.  The reclassification was not considered material to any prior period. There were no changes to total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, total liabilities, total shareholders’ equity, cash flows or profit and loss to any prior period as a result of this reclassification.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less.

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 December 31, 2022 and 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 Company’s senior term loan agreement. See “Note 16 – Notes Payable and Convertible Debentures” for further discussion.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends non-interest-bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business which is not collateralized. Accounts receivable are shown on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company analyzes the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable. The reserve for doubtful accounts was $1,114,183 and $60,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process such as pre-harvested cannabis plants and by-products to be extracted. The costs of growing cannabis, including but not limited to labor, utilities, nutrition and supplies, are capitalized into inventory until the time of harvest. All direct and indirect costs, except depreciation and amortization related to inventory are capitalized when incurred, and subsequently classified to cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Raw materials and work-in-process are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using the weighted average cost. Finished goods inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of accounting. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell. The Company periodically reviews physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserves. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods, and any such inventory is written down to net realizable value. Packaging and supplies are initially valued at cost. The reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based on expected future use. The reserve estimates have historically been consistent with actual experience as evidenced by actual sale or disposal of the goods. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s reserve was $353,994 and $784,289, respectively.

Investments

Long-term investments are related to investments in equity and debt securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence and are accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 321, “Investments—Equity Securities”, as well as investments and joint ventures in which the Company can exert significant influence but does not control.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values (which are classified as Level 3 investments in the fair value hierarchy) are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the “measurement alternative”). In applying the measurement alternative, the Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity investments is less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in Other (Income) Expense, Net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Equity Method and Joint Venture Investments

The Company accounts for investments in which it can exert significant influence but does not control as equity method investments in accordance with ASC 323, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures”. In accordance with ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, the fair value option to measure eligible items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis can be applied. Joint ventures are joint arrangements whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. These investments are recorded at the amount of the Company’s initial investment and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss, and dividends paid.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms and methods:

Land	Not Depreciated
Buildings	15 Years
Finance Lease Assets	Shorter of Lease Term or Economic Life
Furniture and Fixtures	5 Years
Leasehold Improvements	Shorter of Lease Term or Economic Life
Equipment and Software	3 – 5 Years
Construction in Progress	Not Depreciated

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period the asset is derecognized.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any. The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods are reviewed at each reporting period, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Intangible assets with an indefinite life or not yet available for use are not subject to amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms and methods:

Dispensary Licenses	Indefinite
Intellectual Property	5-10 Years

In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), costs of internally developing, maintaining or restoring intangible assets are expensed as incurred. Inversely, costs are capitalized when certain criteria are met through the point at which the intangible asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business acquisition. In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization. The Company reviews the goodwill and other intangible assets allocated to each of the Company’s reporting units for impairment on an annual basis as of year-end or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge equal to the amount in excess.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Company applies the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which provides entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “Step Zero”) to determine whether further quantitative analysis for impairment of goodwill is necessary. In performing Step Zero for the Company’s goodwill impairment test, the Company is required to make assumptions and judgments including but not limited to the following: the evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as related to the Company’s business, industry and market trends, and the overall future financial performance of its reporting units and future opportunities in the markets in which they operate. If impairment indicators are present after performing Step Zero, the Company would perform a quantitative impairment analysis to estimate the fair value of goodwill.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company performed the Step Zero analysis for its goodwill impairment test. As a result of the Company’s Step Zero analysis, no further quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary. There were no impairments of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

For purposes of the impairment test, long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable independent cash flows are available (“asset group”). In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability test (Step 1) compares the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of its future undiscounted cash flows using entity-specific assumptions generated through the asset’s use and eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of the asset is less than the cash flows, the asset is recoverable and an impairment is not recorded. If the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the cash flows, the asset is not recoverable and an impairment loss calculation (Step 2) is required. The measurement of the impairment loss to be recognized is based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset group. Fair value can be determined using a market approach, income approach or cost approach. The cash flow projection and fair value represents management’s best estimate, using appropriate and customary assumptions, projections and methodologies at the date of evaluation. The reversal of impairment losses is prohibited.

Leased Assets

In accordance with ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 842”), the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and accrued obligations under operating lease (current and non-current) liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets for finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, and accrued current and non-current obligations are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are expensed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. A finance lease is a lease in which at least one of the following is true: 1) ownership of the property transfers to the lessee by the end of the lease term; 2) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; 3) the lease is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; 4) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already included in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value; or 5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The Company classifies a lease as an operating lease when it does not meet any one of these criteria.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Company applies judgment in determining whether a contract contains a lease and if a lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company applies judgment in determining the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, which may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. All relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination options are considered. The Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate. The Company applies judgment in allocating the consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components. It considers whether the Company can benefit from the ROU asset either on its own or together with other resources and whether the asset is highly dependent on or highly interrelated with another ROU asset.

In accordance with ASC 842, lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company applies judgment in determining the incremental borrowing rate using estimates which are based on the information available at commencement date. The Company initially measures the ROU asset at the initial amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs and lease payments at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received.

Additionally, management monitors for events or changes in circumstances that may require a reassessment of one of its leases and determine if a remeasurement is required.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Effects of enacted tax law changes on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period in which the law is enacted. Deferred tax assets may be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company follows accounting guidance issued by the FASB related to the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Under this guidance, the Company assesses the likelihood of the financial statement effect of a tax position that should be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the tax position, circumstances, and information available as of the reporting date.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Company also assesses convertible instruments under ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. The Company also records, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the Preferred Shares of GH Group based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. ASC 815 provides that generally, if an event that is not within the entity’s control could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In calculating the fair value of derivative liabilities, the Company uses a valuation model when Level 1 inputs are not available to estimate fair value at each reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the Consolidated Balance Sheets dates. Critical estimates and assumptions used in the model are discussed in “Note 13 - Derivative Liabilities”.

Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Acquisition related transaction costs are expensed as incurred and included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Identifiable assets and liabilities, including intangible assets of acquired businesses, are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. When the Company acquires control of a business, any previously held equity interest is also remeasured to fair value. The excess of the purchase consideration and any previously held equity interest over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is goodwill. If the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the purchase consideration and any previously held equity interest, the difference is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations immediately as a gain on acquisition. See “Note 9 – Business Acquisitions” for further details on business combinations.

Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. The Company allocates the total cost of the acquisition to the underlying net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. As part of this allocation process, the Company identifies and attributes values and estimated lives to the intangible assets acquired. These determinations involve significant estimates and assumptions regarding multiple, highly subjective variables, including those with respect to future cash flows, discount rates, asset lives, and the use of different valuation models, and therefore require considerable judgment. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are based, in part, on the availability of listed market prices or other transparent market data. These determinations affect the amount of amortization expense recognized in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies”, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 805.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized by the Company in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Through application of the standard, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to recognize revenue under ASC 606, the Company applies the following five (5) steps:

(1) Identify a customer along with a corresponding contract;

(2) Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract to transfer goods or provide distinct services to a customer;

(3) Determine the transaction price the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer;

(4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and

(5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).

Revenues consist of wholesale and consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) and retail sales of cannabis, which are generally recognized at a point in time when control over the goods have been transferred to the customer and is recorded net of sales discounts. Payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer or within a specified time period permitted under the Company’s credit policy. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, sales discounts were approximately $10.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

Revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of the performance obligations. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and transfers control upon delivery and acceptance by the customer.

Dispensary Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of cannabis products for a fixed price upon delivery of goods to customers at the point of sale since at this time performance obligations are satisfied. Fees collected related to taxes that are required to be remitted to regulatory authorities are recorded as liabilities and are not included as a component of revenues.

Cultivation and Wholesale CPG

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of cannabis products for a fixed price upon the shipment of cannabis goods as the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. The Company does not retain either continuing material involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership or effective control over the goods sold. Excise taxes due upon sale are recorded as an expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for finished goods, such as flower, edibles and concentrates, packaging and other supplies, fees for services and processing, and allocated overhead, such as allocations of rent, administrative salaries, utilities and related costs. Cost of goods sold excludes depreciation and amortization.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, incentive compensation, benefits, and share-based compensation, professional service costs, including legal, accounting, consulting and other professional fees, and corporate insurance and other facilities costs associated with the Company’s corporate offices.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has an amended and restated equity incentive plan comprised of stock options (“Options”), unrestricted stock bonus, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights (the “SARs”). Options provide the right to the purchase of one Equity Share per Option. RSUs provide the right to receive one Equity Share per unit (or cash payment equal to the fair market value of an Equity Share). The SARs provide the right to receive cash from the exercise of such right based on the increase in value between the exercise price and the fair market value of the Equity Shares of the Company at the time of exercise.

The Company accounts for its share-based awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including restricted share awards. For stock options, the Company estimates the fair value using the Black-Scholes closed option valuation model. When there are market-related vesting conditions to the vesting term of the share-based compensation, the Company uses a valuation model to estimate the probability of the market-related vesting conditions being met and will record the expense. The fair value of restricted share awards is based upon the quoted market price of the Equity Shares on the date of grant. The fair value is then expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the performance period, and the related amount is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value models require the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected share price volatility of the underlying share. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company elected not to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares that actually vest. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from management’s estimates, the share-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.

Financial Instruments

Fair Value

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments. There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial instruments are measured at amortized cost or at fair value. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost consist of accounts receivable, other liabilities, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities wherein the carrying value approximates fair value due to its short-term nature. Other financial instruments measured at amortized cost include notes payable wherein the carrying value at the effective interest rate approximates fair value as the interest rate for such notes payable.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured at Level 1 inputs. Acquisition-related liabilities resulting from business combinations are measured at fair value using Level 1 or Level 3 inputs. Investments that are measured at fair value use Level 3 inputs. Refer to “Note 6 – Investments” for assumptions used to value investments. Derivative liabilities that are measured at fair value use Level 3 inputs. Refer to “Note 13 – Derivative Liabilities” for assumptions used to value the derivative liabilities. Refer to “Note 14 – Contingent Shares and Earnout Liabilities” for assumptions used to value the contingent consideration.

The individual fair values attributed to the different components of a financing transaction, notably derivative financial instruments, convertible debentures and loans, are determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses judgment to select the methods used to make certain assumptions and derive estimates. Significant judgment is also used when attributing fair values to each component of a transaction upon initial recognition, measuring fair values for certain instruments on a recurring basis and disclosing the fair values of financial instruments subsequently carried at amortized cost. These valuation estimates could be significantly different because of the use of judgment and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value of instruments that are not quoted or observable in an active market.

Impairment

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, related to the expected credit loss associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset at the reporting date with the risk of default at the date of initial recognition based on available information, and forward-looking information that is reasonable and supportive. For accounts receivable only, the Company applies the simplified approach as permitted by ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The simplified approach to the recognition of expected losses does not require the Company to track the changes in credit risk. Rather, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date from the date of the trade receivable. Expected credit losses are measured as the difference in the present value of the contractual cash flows that are due to the Company under the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The Company assesses all information available, including past due status, credit ratings, the existence of third-party insurance, and forward-looking macro-economic factors in the measurement of the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The Company measures expected credit loss by considering the risk of default over the contract period and incorporates forward-looking information into its measurement.

Loss per Share

The Company calculates basic earnings or loss per share by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted-average number of the Equity Shares (including the 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, contingent 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 20 – 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 became 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 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”), which 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 year ended December 31, 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 became 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. ASU 2022-02 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 became 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 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 and results of operations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has not experienced any losses with regards to its cash balances.

The Company provides certain credit terms 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. There were two (2022) and one (2021) customer(s) for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, that comprised 36% and 29%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, these same customers had a balance due to the Company of $5,240,179 and $2,403,097, respectively.

5.NOTES RECEIVABLE

On May 12, 2022, the Company announced it executed definitive agreements (the “Agreements”) to acquire 100% of the equity interests in certain Natural Healing Center-branded and operated retail dispensaries. See “Note 9 – Business Acquisitions” for further information on the business combinations completed during the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the Company reclassified $5,461,255 of the note receivable previously issued as consideration for the purchase of Natural Healing Center, LLC. As of December 31, 2022, three acquisitions related to the Natural Healing Center-branded and operated retail dispensaries (Natural Healing Center, LLC., NHC Lemoore, LLC and NHC-MB LLC) have closed and one retail dispensary located in Turlock, California, is under construction and is expected to close in 2023. Calculation and payment of consideration for the acquisition of the 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 the 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 was issued senior secured promissory notes (the “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 Natural Healing Center, LLC, unless prepaid in whole or in part upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, as against the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Agreements). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the notes receivable balance is $1,255,843 and nil, respectively, and the Notes are included as Notes Receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 undivided tenancy-in-common interest in its equity method investment (the “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 which acquired 42.93% of the TIC Interest and the remaining 7.07% was acquired by a related party to senior management of the Company.

The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition dates during the measurement periods. Measurement period adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied in the period the adjustment is determined to the acquisitions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and, depending on the nature of the adjustments, other periods subsequent to the period of acquisition could be affected. The acquisitions noted below were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”.

(1) Goodwill arising from acquisitions represent expected synergies, future income and growth, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. Generally, goodwill related to dispensaries acquired within a state adds to the footprint of the Company’s dispensaries within the state, giving the Company’s customers more access to the Company’s branded stores. Goodwill related to cultivation and wholesale acquisitions provide for lower costs and synergies of the Company’s growing and wholesale distribution methods which allow for overall lower costs.

(2) If the 2022 acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2022, the Company estimates it would have recorded changes in revenues and changes in net (losses) income shown in the pro forma amounts noted above. As the 2021 acquisition was completed on January 1, 2021, no pro forma information is required.

(3) Included in current assets acquired in the business combination was cash acquired, accounts receivable, other current assets and inventory as of the acquisition date.

11.GOODWILL

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, goodwill was $21,808,566 and $4,918,823, respectively. See “Note 8 – Disposition of Subsidiary” and “Note 9 – Business Acquisitions” for further information. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company adjusted the intangible asset values related to the acquisitions during 2022 as a result of additional valuation information obtained, which resulted in an increase to the carrying value of goodwill equal to $415,965.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made prospective adjustments to the purchase price allocations associated with previously acquired entities that resulted in changes to goodwill. The Company obtained additional information about the facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisition that resulted in changes in the provisional amounts recognized.

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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, management noted no indications of impairment on its goodwill.

12.ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist of the following:

	2022		2021

Accrued Payroll and Related Liabilities		2,009,598		1,699,253
Sales Tax and Cannabis Taxes		1,270,572		1,319,652
Total Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities	$	22,333,788	$	10,215,004

The Company offers a customer loyalty rewards program that allows members to earn discounts on future purchases. Unused discounts earned by loyalty rewards program members are included in accrued liabilities and recorded as a sales discount at the time a qualifying purchase is made. The value of points accrued as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, was approximately $999,000 and $380,000, respectively.

13.DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued convertible debt to third parties and related parties, see “Note 16 – Notes Payable and Convertible Debentures” and “Note 17 – Notes Payable – Related Parties”, respectively. Upon the analysis of the conversion feature of the convertible debt under ASC 815, the Company determined that the conversion features are to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company valued the conversion feature using the Binomial Lattice Model using the following Level 3 inputs:

	2021*
Weighted-Average Risk Free Annual Rate		0.25	%
Weighted-Average Average Probability at Maturity		0.00	%

13.DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (Continued)

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of derivative liabilities and change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

	2021
Balance at Beginning of Year	$	7,365,000
Derivative Liability Incurred Upon Issuance of Convertible Debt		182,000
Change in Fair Value		(825,000)
Reclassed to Equity Upon Conversion of Debt		(6,722,000)
Balance at End of Year	$	—

Derivative liabilities are included in current liabilities as the holders of the convertible notes can convert at any time.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, GH Group converted all its convertible debt with derivative conversion features to the Preferred Shares. As a result, the Company recorded adjustments to the fair value of the derivative through the date of conversion. The remaining derivative balance was reclassified to shareholders’ equity upon conversion of the related convertible debt. See “Note 16 – Notes Payable and Convertible Debentures” and “Note 17 – Notes Payable – Related Parties” for further information. It is management’s view that conversions of debt with bifurcated conversion features that are deemed derivatives should be accounted under the conversion accounting model. As a result of the conversion of debt and relief of the derivative conversion feature, the Company recognized no loss on extinguishment of debt or additional amortization of debt discount as the conversion of the debt was executed under the original terms of the agreement as required under ASC 470 “Debt”.

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the value of the contingent earnout was $1,207,666 and $2,372,200, respectively, and included as a component of contingent shares and earnout liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decreases in fair value of $1,164,534 and $5,268,134 were recorded as components of the change in fair value of contingent liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

14.CONTINGENT SHARES AND EARNOUT LIABILITIES (Continued)

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 the Equity Shares, the Exchangeable Shares, vested stock options and vested RSUs as of December 31, 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 the 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, no Equity Shares were issued in connection with these earnouts.

(ii) Contingent Earnout – Camarillo Transaction

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company purchased certain real property in Camarillo, California (the “Camarillo Transaction”).

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of the contingent earnout was $4,041,000 and $22,571,000, respectively, and included as a component of contingent shares and earnout liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in fair value of $18,530,000 and increase in fair value $2,724,000 were recorded as components of the change in fair value of contingent liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The value of the contingent consideration is based upon the potential earn-out of the facilities’ adjusted earnings during the earnout period and is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow model that is based on unobservable inputs.

(iii) Contingent Shares – Camarillo Transaction

As additional consideration for the Option Right, the Company issued 6,500,000 Equity Shares upon the closing of the Camarillo Transaction. The Company allocated the fair value of the Option Right to the assets acquired upon its exercise in September 2021. In addition to the Equity Shares issued for the Option Right, the Company is obligated to issue up to 3,500,000 Equity Shares as a contingent payment, which are subject to certain conditions and events following closing. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of the contingent payment was $6,860,000 and $13,485,500, respectively, and included as a component in contingent shares and earnout liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded decreases in fair value of $6,625,500 and $1,487,500 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and were included as components of the change in fair value of contingent liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The value of the contingent consideration is based upon the value of the Company’s Equity Shares, the probability of future events occurring and other unobservable inputs.

(iv)Contingent RSUs – Plus Products

As consideration for the acquisition of Plus Products, see “Note 9 – Business Acquisitions” for further details, the Company issued 1,300,000 RSUs contingent on revenue earnout provisions. The Company allocated the fair value of the contingent RSUs to the net assets acquired upon the closing of the transaction in April 2022. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of the contingent RSUs was $2,548,000 and nil, respectively, and included as a component in contingent shares and earnout liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded a decrease in fair value of $2,912,000 and nil, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and it was included as a component of change in fair value of contingent liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

15.LEASES

The Company leases buildings which it plans to use for corporate purposes and the production and sale of cannabis products. In accordance with ASC 842, lease liability is initially measured at the present value of total lease payments, discounted using a discount rate set to the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate. Total lease payments are comprised of (i) fixed lease payments less any incentives; (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; (iii) the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; (iv) the exercise of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; (v) payments of penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.  The incremental borrowing rate is determined using estimates which are based on the information available at commencement date.

An ROU asset is measured at the initial amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs and lease payments at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received.

Operating leases may contain renewal options that provide for rent increases based on prevailing market conditions. The terms used to calculate the ROU assets for these properties include the renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Both ROU assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. For finance leases, lease costs are comprised of straight-line amortization of the ROU asset and the interest portion of lease payments which are recorded to Depreciation and Amortization and Interest Expense, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Finance lease ROU assets are amortized based on the lesser of the lease term and the useful life of the leased asset according to the capital asset accounting policy. If ownership of the ROU assets transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, amortization is calculated using the estimated useful life of the leased asset.

The below are the details of the lease cost and other disclosures regarding the Company’s leases for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

On September 14, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to lease out a portion of its real property at approximately $500,000 per month for 36 months. However, lease payments to the Company are abated if certain contingencies are met by the lessee. As of December 31, 2022, such contingencies are expected to be met, and as a result, no rental income was recognized by the Company.

The Company leases certain business facilities from related parties and third parties under non-cancellable operating lease agreements that specify minimum rentals. The operating leases require monthly payments ranging from $800 to $56,000 and expire through November 2032. Certain lease monthly payments may escalate up to 5.0% each year. In such cases, the variability in lease payments is included within the current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities.

On June 29, 2021, all principal and accrued interest of such debt was converted to the Preferred Shares.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

On December 9, 2021 (the “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 December 31, 2022 and 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 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 December 31, 2022 and 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 (“DSCR”) which will be measured quarterly beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2022. Such covenants were not in effect as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in violation of one or more debt covenants and the Credit Agreement was subsequently amended to waive such violations. See “Note – 25 – Subsequent Events” for further information on the amendment to the Credit Agreement.

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.

16.NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (Continued)

On May 12, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement (the “2^nd Amendment”) wherein certain events of default were waived, and the Company entered into an incremental term loan in the amount of $10,000,000 (the “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 year ended December 31, 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.

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 year ended December 31, 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 (the “Series A Notes”) and 8,002 debenture notes (the “Series B Notes”) (collectively, the “Plus Convertible Notes”). The Plus Convertible Notes accrue interest at 8.00% per annum payable in semi-annual arrears until April 15, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest is payable in cash, by the issuance of 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.

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 December 31, 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 Notes 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. Accordingly, the fair value of the conversion features for the Series A Notes and Series B Notes were measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow model that is based on unobservable inputs. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a change in derivative asset of approximately $30,000 and nil, respectively, as a component of change in fair value of derivatives in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Until a holder exchanges their Exchangeable Shares for the 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 the 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. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Shares, 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 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.

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.

The Company recorded a loss attributable to a non-controlling interest during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, of $61,675 and $197,774, respectively. The value of the equity issuances issued to non-controlling interest members were determined using the estimated fair value of the equity of the Company.

18.SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)

The below table summarizes information for entities the Company has concluded to be VIE’s as the Company possesses the power to direct activities through various agreements. Through these agreements, the Company can significantly impact the VIE and thus holds a controlling financial interest. This information represents amounts before intercompany eliminations.

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the aggregate balances of the VIE included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Operations are as follows:

	2022

Total Liabilities	$	241,373
Revenues, Net	$	139,500
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest	$	56,997

19.SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has an amended and restated equity incentive plan (the “Incentive Plan”) under which the Company may issue various types of equity instruments or instruments that track to equity, more particularly the Equity Shares, to employees, officers, consultants and non-employee directors. The types of equity instruments issuable under the Incentive Plan encompass, among other things, stock options, unrestricted stock bonus, and restricted stock units (together, the “Awards”). The Awards are expensed and recorded as a component of general and administrative costs. The maximum number of the Awards that may be issued under the Incentive Plan is 10% of the fully-diluted Equity Shares of the Company (inclusive of the Equity Shares issuable in exchange for unrestricted 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 an 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 the Awards available for grant will increase as the number of issued and outstanding Equity Shares increases. Granting and vesting of the 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.

Stock Options

Immediately prior to the close of the Business Combination during the year ended December 31, 2021, GH Group had 31,403,186 outstanding vested options with a blended average exercise price of $0.23 and 29,294,324 outstanding unvested options with a blended average exercise price of $0.26. Incident to the close, 5,392,564 options were exercised resulting in the issuance of 479,195 Subordinate Voting Shares.

Of the remaining options, the vested GH Group non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) were paid the net-value of their outstanding options at close by reserving 1,433,793 Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued on or before June 29, 2024. As these shares have not been issued and are payable on June 29, 2024, the Company reclassified $2,756,830 from equity to shares payable. Unvested NQSOs were exchanged for RSUs of the Company on substantially similar terms to the NQSO grants equal to the net-value of such options at close using a Company share price of $10. As a result, the Company issued 1,076,499 RSUs.

				1,452,887

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, options vested and exercisable were 1,400,593 and 1,000,717, respectively. There were no stock options granted for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the fair value of stock options granted with a fixed exercise price was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions at the time of grant:

	2021
Weighted-Average Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate	0.29	%
Weighted-Average Expected Annual Dividend Yield	0.0	%
Weighted-Average Expected Stock Price Volatility	84.6	%
Weighted-Average Expected Life in Years	4.00
Weighted-Average Estimated Forfeiture Rate	0.0	%

Stock price volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly-traded cannabis companies. The expected life represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate was based on the United States Treasury zero coupon bond with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $0.34 per option. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, stock options outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 2.4 years and 3.4 years, respectively.

Stock Appreciation Right Units

During the year ended December 31, 2021, GH Group issued 230,752 SARs to various employees of the Company. The SARs vest 33% one year after the grant date and the remaining 67% vest monthly over two years. Vested and exercised SARs will receive cash in the amount of the SARs exercised multiplied by the excess of the fair market value of an Equity Share over the stated strike price of the SAR. As the SARs are cash-settled, the Company recognizes the value of the SAR as liabilities which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a liability of nil and $35,442, respectively.

19.SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the fair value of the warrants granted with a fixed exercise price and fair valued using level 3 inputs was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions at the time of grant:

	2022
Weighted-Average Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate	3.42	%
Weighted-Average Expected Annual Dividend Yield	0.0	%
Weighted-Average Expected Stock Price Volatility	103.74	%
Weighted-Average Expected Life in Years	5.00
Weighted-Average Estimated Forfeiture Rate	0.0	%

There were no warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2021 that required fair valuing using level 3 inputs.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the weighted-average fair value of warrants granted was $1.83 and $1.64, respectively, per warrant. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, warrants outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 3.6 years and 4.2 years, respectively.

20.LOSS PER SHARE

The following is a reconciliation for the calculation of net loss attributable to the Company and the basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

	2022		2021
Net Loss Attributable to the Company	$	(35,534,892)	$	(44,167,812)
Less Dividends and Increase in Redemption Values of GH Group Preferred Shares		(20,250,481)		(1,797,423)
Net Loss Attributable to the Company		(55,785,373)		(45,965,235)
Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding - Basic and Diluted		64,182,436		40,280,639
Loss Per Share Attributable to the Company - Basic and Diluted	$	(0.87)	$	(1.14)

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, RSUs, 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.

Other Permanent Differences		(104,004)		(302,827)
Reported Income Tax Expense	$	4,741,704	$	3,298,101

The Company has used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the years ended December 31, 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

As the Company operates in the legalized 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 of its product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed nonallowable under Section 280E, whereas the Company deducts all operating expenses on its state tax returns for which there is no comparable provision of Section 280E under the California Revenue and Taxation Code.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

21.PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES (Continued)

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of total unrecognized tax benefits for years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

	2022		2021
Balance at Beginning of Year	$	1,449,046	$	849,358
IRS Section 280E Positions Acquired		888,130		178,712
IRS Section 280E Positions		1,954,143		420,976
Balance at End of Year	$	4,291,319	$	1,449,046

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, potential benefits of $4,291,319 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 December 31, 2022, the Company’s federal tax returns since 2019 and state tax returns since 2018 are still subject to adjustment upon audit. The 2020 and 2021 tax returns for SoCal Hemp JV, LLC are currently under examination by the IRS. No other Company-related 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.

22.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of these regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or revocation, cancellation, non-renewal or other losses of permits, licensed and entitlements that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state statues, regulations, and ordinances as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, cannabis laws and regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties or restrictions in the future.

Royalty

Effective as of May 9, 2019, Sweet & Salty, Inc., a California corporation (“Lender”), and GH Brands LLC, a California limited liability company and subsidiary of the Company (“GH Brands”), entered into a License and Services Agreement, pursuant to which Lender granted to GH Brands an exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, right and license to use, exploit and incorporate the name, nicknames, initials, signature, voice, image, likeness, and photographic or graphic representations of likeness, statements and biography of the artist Annabella Avery Thorne, professionally known as Bella Thorne, for all purposes relating to or in connection with the development, quality control, cultivation, extraction, manufacture, production, branding, testing, advertising, marketing, promotion, commercialization, packaging, distribution, exploitation and/or sale of the products of GH Brands and its affiliates.

Minimum guarantee fees are recoupable against royalties for an initial term of $1,000,000 ($50,000 initial payment, $200,000 for the 1^st year, $375,000 for the 2^nd year and $375,000 for the 3^rd year). The agreement provides an option to renew for a 2-year term with a guaranteed minimum fee of $1,500,000 ($750,000 for the 4^th year and $750,000 for the 5^th year). During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized expenses related to these royalties in the amount of $331,944 and $388,436, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has $508,333 and $328,125, respectively, due under this royalty agreement which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no pending or threatening lawsuits that could be reasonably assessed to have resulted in a probable loss to the Company in an amount that can be reasonably estimated. As such, no accrual has been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements relating to claims and litigations. As of December 31, 2022 and 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.

Element 7 Transaction and Litigation

Effective February 23, 2021, GH Group entered into a Merger and Exchange Agreement (the “E7 Merger Agreement”) with Element 7 CA, LLC (“E7”) whereby GH Group had the right, subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and other conditions, to obtain all of the limited liability company membership or other equity interests held by E7 in seventeen holding companies that hold the rights to certain in-process state and local cannabis retail licenses or license applications, some of which are partially owned. In addition, GH Group entered into a License Development and Consulting Agreement (the “E7 License Agreement”, and together with the E7 Merger Agreement, the “E7 Agreements”) with E7 to provide certain retail consulting services to develop and obtain up to thirty-four cannabis retail licenses in exchange for the payment of certain fees as set forth in the E7 License Agreement. In November 2021, GH Group terminated the E7 Agreements based on a breach of contractual terms by E7, and as of December 31, 2021, GH Group had converted certain pre-closing financing payments and consulting fees into notes receivable in the amount of $2,274,167. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the notes receivable was fully reserved by the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had received certain limited liability company membership or other equity interests in one E7 entity out of seventeen entities that were contractually committed to be transferred under the E7 Merger Agreement.

On November 4, 2021, GH Group filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, Central District (Case No. 21STCV40401) against E7 and its principals and owners Josh Black and Robert “Bobby” DiVito (together, “Element 7”) for a variety of claims, including fraud and breach of contract and demanded performance under the E7 Agreements.

The court proceeding was subsequently withdrawn by the Company without prejudice, and on March 13, 2022, GH Group entered into an agreement with American Patriot Brands, Inc. (“APB”) to jointly file suit against Element 7 to enforce the transfer of certain contractually committed licenses (the “Joint Litigation Agreement”). GH Group and APB jointly refiled a complaint against Element 7 in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles (Case No. 22STCV09323). The Superior Court severed the claims of GH Group and APB, which resulted in APB’s claims remaining in Superior Court and GH Group’s claims being adjudicated in Signature Arbitration (Case No. LQMGL) (collectively, the “Element 7 Proceeding”).

Under the terms of the Joint Litigation Agreement, GH Group will pay all legal fees for GH Group and APB’s joint litigation against Element 7. GH Group will have the option to purchase any E7 license or licensed entity interests recovered by APB from Element 7 that were included in the E7 Merger Agreement, that either have a state or local permit and a valid lease, or a local permit that is without a real property site but is in a competitive license jurisdiction, in each case at a valuation of $750,000 per E7 license or licensed entity, paid in Equity Shares at the 10-day VWAP calculated as of the date of such purchase. In addition, under the Joint Litigation Agreement, GH Group also has the right of first refusal to purchase any other E7 licenses or licensed entity outside of the foregoing groups, and the right to terminate the Joint Litigation Agreement at any time.
