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 three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $209,265,723, a net loss attributable to the Company of $18,331,074 and net cash used in operating activities of $1,875,370. 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.
The significant accounting policies and critical estimates applied by the Company in these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, unless disclosed otherwise below. The Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, filed on April 1, 2024, can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been included.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes thereto, and have been prepared using the same accounting policies described therein.
Basis of Consolidation
These Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control as defined in ASC 810. Subsidiaries over which the Company has control are fully consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. Control exists when the Company has ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent of the outstanding voting securities of another entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered.
Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest represents equity interests owned by parties that are not shareholders of the ultimate parent. The share of net assets attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a component of equity. Their share of net income or loss is recognized directly in equity. Changes in the parent company’s ownership interest that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
Segmented Information
The Company currently operates in three reportable segments which are retail, wholesale biomass and cannabis-related consumer packaged goods (“CPG”). 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. See “Note 19 – Segment Information” for further information.
Employee Retention Tax Credits
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Security Act (the "CARES Act") to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provides tax relief, along with other stimulus measures, including a provision for an Employee Retention Credit ("ERC"). As there is no authoritative guidance under GAAP on accounting for government assistance to for-profit business entities, the Company accounts for the ERC by analogy to International Accounting Standard, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance ("IAS 20"). Since the filing of the ERC’s through March 31, 2024, the Company filed with the Internal Revenue Service credits totaling $11,580,468. The Company will not recognize the amounts claimed until it has been determined that the Company has reasonable assurance that the credits will be realized.
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, restricted cash was $3.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, which is held in an escrow account and used as an interest reserve for the senior term loan agreement. See “Note 12 – Notes Payable and Convertible Debentures” for further discussion.
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 from the calculation of 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 15 – Loss Per Share” for further information.

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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 and projected future trends, and other information. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were one (2024) and two (2023) customer(s), respectively, that comprised 15% and 27%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues.

8. GOODWILL
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, goodwill was nil.
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. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, management noted indications of impairment on the goodwill of its CPG reporting unit and recorded an impairment expense of $14,143,983 as a result of updated earnings projections for unforeseen changes in market demand in the consumer-packaged goods market.

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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the interest rate was 12%.
The Company has optional and mandatory prepayments. Mandatory prepayments include any voluntary and involuntary sale or disposition of assets by the Company or any restricted subsidiaries. The outstanding principal amount of the obligation will be repaid by 100% of cash proceeds received from the sale or disposition of assets with certain exemptions as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of the Senior Secure Closing Date, the Company deposited an interest reserve in the amount of $3,000,000 into an escrow account and included as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.
Amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On January 21, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement (the “1st Amendment”) wherein certain events of default were waived.
On May 12, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement (the “2nd Amendment”) wherein certain events of default were waived, and the Company entered into an incremental term loan in the amount of $10,000,000 (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. The fair value of the warrants were determined 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.

12. NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (Continued)

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenant. In connection with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Company will pay an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the loan outstanding as of August 1, 2023. The Company recognized amendment fees of $1,000,000 as other expense and paid such fee on July 27, 2023.
On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment Number Five to Credit Agreement, Waiver, and Consent with the Senior Secured Lender to among other things approve of the Series C and D Offerings and to amend the Credit Agreement to change the Minimum EBITDA requirement to have an annualized EBITDA of $20 million for the fiscal quarter period ending December 31, 2023, a LTM EBITDA of $20 million for the fiscal quarter period ending March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and a LTM EBITDA of $22.5 million for each month ending on July 31, 2024 and for each month ending thereafter. As of March 31, 2024, the EBITDA requirement have been met.
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 March 31, 2024, the balance of $11,894,989 and $4,111,095 for the Series A Notes and Series B Notes, respectively remain outstanding.
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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a change in derivative asset of approximately $113,000 and $13,000, respectively, as a component of change in fair value of derivatives in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of March 31, 2024, the scheduled maturities of notes payable for the years ended December 31:

13. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the authorized share capital of the Company is comprised of an unlimited number of (i) the Subordinate Voting Shares, (ii) the Restricted Voting Shares, (iii) the Limited Voting Shares, (iv) the Multiple Voting Shares and (v) the Preferred Shares.
Multiple Voting Shares
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares without nominal or par value. Holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to receive notice of any meeting of shareholders of the Company, and to attend, vote and speak at such meetings, except those meetings at which only holders of a specific class of shares are entitled to vote separately as a class under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). On all matters upon which holders of Multiple Voting Shares are entitled to vote, each Multiple Voting Share entitles the holder thereof to 50 votes per Multiple Voting Share. Multiple Voting Shares are not entitled to dividends and are not convertible. The Multiple Voting Shares had a three (3)-year sunset period that would have expired on June 29, 2024. At the annual general and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on June 23, 2023, shareholders passed a special resolution to amend the Articles to extend the “sunset” date for the Multiple Voting Shares to June 29, 2027, upon which they will be automatically redeemed for $0.001 per Multiple Voting Share.
Equity Shares
The holders of each class of the Equity Shares are entitled to receive notice of, to attend (if applicable, virtually) and to vote at all meetings of shareholders of the Company, except that they are not able to vote (but are entitled to receive notice of, to attend and to speak) at those meetings at which the holders of a specific class are entitled to vote separately as a class under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and except that holders of the Limited Voting Shares are not entitled to vote for the election of directors of the Company. The Subordinate Voting Shares and the Restricted Voting Shares carry one vote per share on all matters. The Limited Voting Shares carry one vote per share on all matters except the election of directors, as the holders of the Limited Voting Shares do not have any entitlement to vote in respect of the election for directors of the Company.
In the case of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of the Equity Shares are entitled, subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares of the Company ranking in priority to the Equity Shares (including any liquidation preference on any issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares and/or Preferred Shares), to participate ratably the Company’s remaining property along with all holders of the other classes of the Equity Shares (on a per share basis).
Exchangeable Shares of MPB Acquisition Corp.
Exchangeable Shares are part of the authorized share capital of MPB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which entitle their holders to rights that are comparable to those rights attached to the Equity Shares. The Exchangeable Shares carry one vote per share, and the aggregate voting power of the Exchangeable Shares must not exceed 49.9% of the total voting power of all classes of shares of MPB. Until a holder exchanges their Exchangeable Shares for 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.

13. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)
Preferred Shares GH Group, Inc.
The authorized total number of preferred shares (the “GH Group Preferred Shares”) of GH Group is 50,000,000 of which 45,000,000 shares are designated as shares of Series A Preferred Shares (“GH Group Series A Preferred”), 55,000 shares are designated as shares of Series B Preferred Shares (“GH Group Series B Preferred”), 5,000 shares of Series C Preferred Shares (“GH Group Series C Preferred”) and 15,000 shares of Series D Preferred Shares (“GH Group Series D Preferred”). Holders of the GH Group Preferred Shares are entitled to receive notice of and attend any meeting of the shareholders of GH Group but are not entitled to vote. The GH Group Preferred Shares do not carry any voting rights and are not convertible. In the event of a liquidation, voluntary or involuntary, dissolution or winding-up of GH Group, the holders of outstanding GH Group Preferred Shares are entitled to be paid out of the assets of GH Group available for distribution to it stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of GH Group common stock, of which holders of GH Group Series B Preferred are to receive payment prior to holders of GH Group Series A Preferred, GH Group Series C Preferred and GH Group Series D Preferred. GH Group has the right to redeem all or a portion of the GH Group Preferred Shares from a holder for an amount equal to the liquidation value and all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends.
The GH Group Series A Preferred carries a 15% cumulative dividend rate, which increases by 5% in the year following the first anniversary of the date of issuance. The GH Group Series B Preferred and the GH Group Series C Preferred carry a 20% cumulative dividend rate, which increases by 2.5% annually after the second anniversary and until the 54-month anniversary of the initial issuance. The GH Group Series D Preferred carry a 15% cumulative dividend rate, which increases by 5% following the fifth anniversary of the original issuance. Dividends are payable if and when declared by GH Group’s board of directors.
There were nil shares of the GH Group Series A Preferred issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023; there were 49,969 shares of the GH Group Series B Preferred issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023,; and there were 5,000 shares of the GH Group Series C Preferred issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023; and there were 15,000 shares of the GH Group Series D Preferred issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In accordance with the provisions above, the Company recorded dividends to the holders of the GH Group Preferred Shares in the amount of $3,720,163 and $2,831,990 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 an income and loss attributable to a non-controlling interest during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 of $62,380 and $36,734, 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.
Variable Interest Entity
The below table summarizes information for entities the Company has concluded to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) 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.

14. 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
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of stock options outstanding is as follows:
| | | Number of Stock Options | | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | |
Balance as of December 31, 2023 | | | | 1,435,794 | | | $ | 2.84 | |

Balance as of March 31, 2024 | | | 3,731,391 | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $3,268,944 and $1,478,426, respectively, in stock-based compensation related to restricted stock units and is included as a component of general and administrative expense in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was determined using the value of the Equity Shares at the date of grant.
Stock Appreciation Right Units
During the year ended December 31, 2020, GH Group granted 230,752 stock appreciation rights (“SARs units”) to various employees of the Company. The SARs vest 33% one year after the grant date and the remaining 67% vest monthly, after the initial vesting, 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 as of the exercise date 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 Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a liability of $564,614 and $219,458, respectively.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the SARs outstanding is as follows:

15. LOSS PER SHARE
The following is a reconciliation for the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Net Loss Attributable to the Company | | $ | (18,331,074 | ) | | $ | (34,746,427 | ) |
Less Dividends and Increase in Redemption Values of GH Group Preferred Shares | | | (3,720,163 | ) | | | (2,916,164 | ) |
Net Loss Attributable to the Company | | | (22,051,237 | ) | | | (37,662,591 | ) |
Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding - Basic | | | 73,158,443 | | | | 72,460,677 | |
Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding - Diluted | | | 73,158,443 | | | | 72,460,677 | |
Loss Per Share Attributable to the Company - Basic | | $ | (0.30 | ) | | $ | (0.52 | ) |
Loss Per Share Attributable to the Company - Diluted | | $ | (0.30 | ) | | $ | (0.52 | ) |
Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the issuance of shares on the exercise of convertible debentures, warrants and share options are anti-dilutive.
Net loss 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 antidilutive. 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.

16. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
Provision for income taxes consists of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Current: | | | | | | |
Federal | | $ | 805,454 | | | $ | 1,808,472 | |
State | | | 28,800 | | | | 489,300 | |
Total Current | | | 834,254 | | | | 2,297,772 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Deferred: | | | | | | | | |
Federal | | | - | | | | 46,715 | |
State | | | - | | | | 29,774 | |
Total Deferred | | | - | | | | 76,489 | |
Total Provision for Income Taxes | | $ | 834,254 | | | $ | 2,374,261 | |
The Company has used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company determined that since small changes in estimated ordinary income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for the fiscal three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E (“Section 280E”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of goods sold. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed nonallowable under Section 280E, and the Company deducts all operating expenses on its state tax returns.
The Company has determined that the tax impact of its corporate overhead allocation was less 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, potential benefits of $5,969,506 and $5,443,818, 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 for audit. The Company on occasion may 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 March 31,2024, the Company’s federal tax returns since 2020 and state tax returns since 2019 are still subject to adjustment upon audit. No tax returns are currently being examined by any taxing authorities. While it is reasonably possible that certain portions of the unrecognized tax benefit may change from a lapse in applicable statute of limitations, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the effect of any amount of such a change to previously recorded uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months.
17. 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

Claims and Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 Litigation
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. Through the process of litigation, on September 19, 2023, Element 7, APB and GH Group entered into a Settlement and General Mutual Release Agreement (the “Element 7 Settlement”), where Element 7 agreed to pay GH Group $2,865,000 to settle the Element 7 Proceeding; provided, that if Element 7 pays GH Group $1,865,250 by December 15, 2023, then Element 7 shall be entitled to a credit of $999,750 towards the $2,865,000 payment. In addition, Element 7 would retain ownership of its retail licenses.
On March 6, 2024, the Superior Court of Los Angeles entered into a Final Judgment and Order against Element 7 for the amount of $2,865,000 in favor of GH Group.
Catalyst Litigation
The Company is the plaintiff in litigation in the Central District Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles against Elliot Lewis (“Lewis”), Damian Martin (“Martin”), South Cord Holdings LLC (“SCH”), and South Cord Management LLC (“SCM”) (collectively, “Catalyst Defendants”) following various public, false, and defamatory statements by Lewis and Martin, co-founders of SCM and SCH, that the Company is the “largest black marketeer” of cannabis in the history of the United States, only 25% of the Company’s cultivated cannabis is sold through legal channels, and therefore 70-80% is sold illegally, and that the Company is engaging in illicit conduct to avoid taxes. The Company continues to vigorously pursue its defamation claims and otherwise assert its rights with respect to the outrageous and defamatory statements of the Catalyst Defendants.
