CURALEAF HOLDINGS, INC.

Amended and Restated Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

As of and for the Three and Six Months Ended

June 30, 2022 and 2021

As Amended and Restated 

(Expressed in Thousands United States Dollars Unless Otherwise Stated)

 

Notice to Reader

 

Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, "Curaleaf" or the "Group") has restated its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 (the “Financial Statements”), the three months ended March 31, 2022, the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which were previously filed on SEDAR and EDGAR (the “Interim Financial Statements”). Subsequent to the original issuance of the Financial Statements and Interim Financial Statements, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), with the assistance of outside counsel and consultants and in discussion with the Company’s auditors, conducted a review of certain purchases and sales of products through the Company’s wholesale channel to determine whether they had commercial substance, and to confirm the timing and appropriateness of the recognition of revenue from those transactions. Further to this review, the Company has determined that it will make adjustments to the revenue figures reported in the previously mentioned financial statements periods. Errors have been corrected in these amended and restated unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as well as in the amended and restated audited annual consolidated financial statements for the three and twelve months period ended December 31, 2021 and in the amended and restated unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 22 – Restatement herein for more detail.

Curaleaf Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Amended and Restated Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(in thousands, except for gram, share and per share amounts)

 

Note 1 – Operations of the company

 

Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “Curaleaf”, or the “Group”), was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada on November 13, 2014. Curaleaf operates as a life science company developing full scale cannabis operations, with core competencies in cultivation, manufacturing, dispensing, and cannabis research.

 

On October 25, 2018, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction, and completed a related private placement which closed one day prior on October 24, 2018 (collectively, the “Business Combination”). Following the Business Combination, the Company’s subordinate voting shares (“SVS”) were listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “CURA” and quoted on the OTCQX ® Best Market under the symbol “CURLF”.

 

The head office of the Company is located at 420 Lexington Ave, New York, New York 10170. The Company’s registered and records office address is located at Suite 1700-666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

 

For the purposes of these amended and restated unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Financial Statements”), the terms “Company” and “Curaleaf” mean Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. and, unless the context otherwise requires, includes its subsidiaries. Any references to the cultivation, processing, manufacturing, extraction, retail operations, dispensing or distribution of cannabis, logistics, or similar terms specifically relate only to the Company’s licensed subsidiary entities. Operations of the licensed subsidiary entities are dependent on each entity’s license type, and the applicable local law and associated regulations.

 

Note 2 – Basis of presentation

 

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The Company followed the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (the “Annual Financial Statements”), which are available under the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com. The Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial statements. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the information in these interim financial statements is current as of June 30, 2022.

 

Functional currency

 

The Company’s and its United States (“U.S.”) subsidiaries’ functional currency, as determined by management, is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). The Interim Financial Statements are presented in thousands USD unless otherwise stated. The Company's international subsidiaries' functional currencies, as determined by management, are the Sterling Pound (“GBP”), the Euro, and the Swiss Franc (“CHF”). The financial statements of the Company's international subsidiaries are converted from GBP, Euro, and CHF to USD using the period's average rate for profit and loss amounts and the period end rate for balance sheet items. Conversion adjustments are recognized within accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a component of equity.

 

Changes in presentation

 

Where necessary, corresponding figures have been adjusted to conform to the presentation of the current year amounts.

 

The International Accounting Standard 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, requires an entity to present a statement of financial position at the beginning of the earliest comparative period (“opening statement of financial position”) when such entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements. The requirement to present the additional opening statement of financial position, when the Company has made a restatement or reclassification, extends to the information in the related notes.

During the current reporting period, the Company has recorded measurement period adjustments to business acquisitions during the one-year remeasurement period; see Note 4 – Acquisitions and Note 10 – Goodwill and intangible assets. In order to align with current year presentation, the Company adjusted the presentation of the non-controlling interest’s share of foreign currency translation differences within the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity (see “Reclassifications" within the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity), of inventories to reflect the categorization of packaging and hardware as raw materials instead of consumables finished goods (see Note 5 – Inventories); of consulting fees and travel and reimbursement in the related party transactions (see Note 19 – Related party transactions); of SG&A operating expenses between office supplies and services and other (see Note 14 – Selling, general and administrative expense); and of Key Management Compensation (see Note 19 – Related party transactions).

 

The Company considered materiality and concluded that it is sufficient to present such information only in those notes that have been impacted by a reclassification, as the Interim Financial Statements and other notes of the Interim Financial Statements have not been impacted by the reclassifications. The omission of the notes to the additional opening statement of financial position is therefore, in the Company’s view, not material.

 

The Company has reflected adjustments to the comparative period interim financial information to correct errors related to purchase accounting for the Select acquisition and disclosures of the number of share options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) forfeited, expired and outstanding as of June 30, 2021 as well as related to certain purchases and sales of products through the Company’s wholesale channel mainly in the last quarter of 2021 and the first and second quarters of 2022.. Additionally, the Company adjusted the presentation the non-controlling interest’s share of foreign currency translation differences within the audited Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. See further details regarding such restatements at Note 22 - Restatement.

 

Due to rounding, certain numbers presented herein may not precisely agree or total to the previously reported amounts.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity and is exposed to the variable returns from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the Interim Financial Statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

 

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) are measured initially at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Changes in the Company’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

 

When the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of profits and losses. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of the Company’s Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

Significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Interim Financial Statements are described below and are the same as those that applied to the Annual Financial Statements.

 

Biological assets

 

Biological assets are dependent upon estimates of future economic benefits as a result of past events to determine the fair value through an exercise of significant judgment by the Company. In estimating the fair value of biological assets, the Company uses observable market data to the extent it is available. The Company uses the average selling price per gram in the market in which the biological assets are produced to determine fair value. The Company reevaluates market prices on a quarterly basis in order to ensure biological assets are measured at the most relevant fair value.

 

7

 

 

Business combinations

 

In a business combination, all identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values. The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Company. In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Company assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process, and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs.

 

One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquiree. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognized in the consolidated statements of profits and losses at the date of acquisition. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issuance of debt or equity securities or in the event of an asset acquisition. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of profits and losses. Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. 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 IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in the consolidated statements of profits and losses. For any intangible asset identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent valuation expert or management may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. The evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and any changes in the discount rate applied. Certain fair values may be estimated at the acquisition date pending confirmation or completion of the valuation process. Where provisional values are used in accounting for a business combination, they may be adjusted retrospectively in subsequent periods, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

 

The Company utilizes the guidance prescribed by Amendments to IFRS 3 – Business Combinations (the “IFRS 3 Amendment”). The IFRS 3 Amendment changes the definition of a business and allows entities to use a concentration test to determine if transactions should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. Under the optional concentration test, where substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business and the transaction would be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Management performs a concentration test where appropriate and if the concentration of assets is 85% or above, the transaction is generally accounted for as an asset acquisition.

 

Share-based payment arrangements

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of options granted to employees and directors under share-based payment arrangements, where appropriate. In instances where stock options have performance or market conditions, the Company utilizes the Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate the various outcomes that affect the value of the option. In estimating fair value, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates such as the expected life of units, volatility of the Company’s future share price, risk free rates, future dividend yields, and estimated forfeitures at the initial grant date. Changes in assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of an entity over the fair value of the net

 

tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit (“CGU” or “CGUs”) which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. In determining its CGUs, the Company has completed an internal analysis to identify the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Given the nature of the Company’s business, management generally identifies CGUs based on jurisdiction and the Select brand.

 

8

 

 

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired in accordance with IAS 36. Impairment is determined by assessing if the carrying value of a CGU, including the allocated goodwill, exceeds its recoverable amount determined as the greater of the estimated fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. The Company performs the analysis on a CGU level using a discounted cash flow method. Impairment losses recognized in respect of a CGU are first allocated to the carrying value of goodwill and any excess of impairment amount is allocated to the carrying amount of assets in the CGU. Any goodwill impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of profits and losses in the period in which the impairment is identified. Impairment losses on goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

 

Assets held for sale

 

The Company classifies assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (“IFRS 5”). When the Company makes the decision to sell an asset or to stop some part of its business, the Company assesses if such assets should be classified as an asset held for sale. To be classified as an asset held for sale, the asset or disposal group must meet all of the following conditions: i) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, ii) management is committed to a plan to sell, iii) an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated, iv) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a sales price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value, v) the sale is highly probable within one year from the date of classification, and vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn. An asset held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell (“FVLCTS”) unless the asset held for sale meets the exceptions as denoted by IFRS 5. FVLCTS is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction, less the costs of disposal. Once classified as held for sale, any depreciation and amortization cease to be recorded (see Note 7 – Assets and liabilities held for sale).

 

NCI and NCI Redemption Liability

 

NCI represents equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries that are owned by parties that are not shareholders of Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. The share of net assets attributable to NCI is presented as a component of equity. The NCI’s share of net income or loss is recognized directly in equity. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Certain NCIs are subject to put/call rights which are recorded as a financial liability at the present value of the redemption amount, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in equity within the redeemable NCI line item.

 

COVID-19 estimation uncertainty

 

The Company continuously assesses the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its financial and operating results. Any assessment continues to be subject to uncertainty as to probability, severity and duration of the pandemic as reflected by infection rates at local, state, and regional levels. Moreover, certain COVID-19 variants have surfaced since the onset of the pandemic that have created additional uncertainty during particular periods when it comes to the impact upon employees, customers, our supply chain, and the timing of regulatory approvals. However, at this time based upon recent experience, the Company does not believe the emergence of these new variants will have a material impact on operations and results compared with its business prior to such emergence. Moreover, rates of new infections have fallen significantly since the beginning of the year leading a number of states in which the Company does business to relax certain COVID-19 protocols.

 

New, amended and future IFRS pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all applicable IFRS standards recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are not applicable or where it has been determined do not have a significant impact to the Company have been excluded herein.

 

The following is a brief summary of the new standards issued but not yet effective:

 

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current

 

In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (“Amendments to IAS 1”). The Amendments to IAS 1 aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The Amendments to IAS 1 include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. The Amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted.

 

9

 

 

Amendments to IAS 12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

 

In May 2021, the IASB published Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (“Amendments to IAS 12”). The Amendments to IAS 12 clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and de-commissioning obligations. The main change in this amendment is that the initial recognition exemption in IAS 12.15(b) and IAS 12.24 is clarified to not be applicable to transactions in which both deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition that result in the recognition of equal deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Amendments to IAS 12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted.

Certain fair values may be estimated at the acquisition date pending confirmation or completion of the valuation process. Where provisional values are used in accounting for a business combination, they may be adjusted retrospectively in subsequent periods, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

 

Goodwill arising from acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the businesses, providing the opportunity to expand our products into new markets, as well as other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. These synergies include the elimination of redundant facilities and functions and the use of the Company’s existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales.

 

2022 acquisitions

 

Bloom Dispensaries

 

On January 18, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Bloom Dispensaries (“Bloom”), a vertically integrated, single state cannabis operator in Arizona. The transaction with Bloom includes four retail dispensaries located in the cities of Phoenix, Tucson, Peoria, and Sedona. Bloom strengthens the Company’s production capabilities in Arizona with the addition of two adjacent cultivation and processing facilities located in north Phoenix totaling approximately 63,500 square feet of space.

 

Total consideration for Bloom consisted of $68.8 million in cash, which included a working capital adjustment of $17.7 million, and three promissory notes with face values of $50 million, $50 million, and $60 million due, respectively, on the first, second and third anniversary of closing of the transaction. At the option of the sellers of Bloom, the third promissory note may be paid by the Company issuing SVS on the third anniversary of closing. The notes are recourse only to the membership interests of Bloom and will not be guaranteed by any Curaleaf entity. The total fair value of the promissory notes at the date of acquisition was $145.4 million, resulting in total consideration paid for the Bloom dispensaries of $214.2 million. The acquisition remains subject to post-closing adjustments, and the Company was still in the process of finalizing purchase price accounting as of the reporting date. During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the purchase price allocation recorded as of March 31, 2022. The measurement period adjustments resulted in a decrease to goodwill in the amount of $2.2 million as a result of a decrease in total consideration paid as a result of a working capital adjustment. As of the reporting date, the Company incurred and expensed transaction costs of approximately $0.4 million related to the acquisition of Bloom.

The Company calculated, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of the acquired entity as if the Bloom acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022. These unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2022, or of the future consolidated operating results. For the Bloom acquisition, total unaudited pro forma revenue and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $24.3 million and $18.0 million, respectively.

 

Revenue and net loss from Bloom included in the consolidated statements of profits and losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $20.7 million and $18.6 million, respectively.

 

Sapphire Medial Clinics Limited

 

On January 31, 2022, Curaleaf International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Curaleaf International, acquired 100% of the equity interests of Sapphire Medical Clinics Limited (“Sapphire Medical”), a CQC registered private medical cannabis clinic providing telemedicine and face to face consultations to patients in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). The transaction represents a compelling opportunity to enhance the Company’s vertical integration of the business within the U.K. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid cash consideration of $6.7 million. An incremental earnout may be paid in 2023 based on the Sapphire Medical business exceeding certain revenue, script, and active patient count milestones during 2022. The total contingent consideration liability related to the Sapphire Medical acquisition earnout had a fair value of $2.1 million at the date of acquisition, resulting in total consideration of $8.8 million. As of the reporting date, the Company was still in the process of finalizing purchase price accounting. During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the purchase price allocation recorded as of March 31, 2022. The measurement period adjustments resulted in an increase to intangibles of $0.8 million and an increase to deferred tax liabilities in the amount of $0.8 million. The Company incurred and capitalized transaction costs of approximately $0.1 million related to the acquisition of Sapphire Medical as of the reporting date.

 

The Company calculated, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of the acquired entity as if the Sapphire Medical acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022. These unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2022, or of the future consolidated operating results. For the Sapphire Medical acquisition, total unaudited pro forma revenue and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

 

Revenue and net loss from Sapphire Medical included in the consolidated statements of profits and losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

 

NRPC Management, LLC

 

On May 12, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of NRPC Management, LLC (“NRPC Management”). Natural Remedy Patient Center, LLC (“NRPC”) a Safford, Arizona dispensary, operates pursuant to a Management Services Agreement with NRPC Management. NRPC was granted a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Certificate and a Marijuana Establishment License allowing NRPC to lawfully engage in medical and recreational marijuana operations and sales in the State of Arizona. The acquisition of NRPC Management aligns with the Company’s strategy to continue expanding domestic operations. The Company plans to relocate the NRPC licenses to the Scottsdale dispensary later this year.

 

The aggregate consideration paid by the Company to acquire NRPC Management was comprised of approximately $9.9 million of cash and the issuance of 164,098 SVS which had a fair value, based on a third-party valuation taking into account transfer restrictions and the time value of money, of approximately $0.8 million at the time of the acquisition. $2.0 million of additional consideration may become payable following successful settlement of pending litigation. The total consideration for NRPC was $12.8 million. The acquisition remains subject to post-closing adjustments, and the Company is still in the process of finalizing purchase price accounting. The Company has incurred immaterial transaction costs related to the acquisition of NRPC Management.

 

The Company calculated, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of the acquired entity as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022. These unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2022, or of the future consolidated operating results. For the NRPC Management acquisition, total unaudited pro forma revenue and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Revenue and net income from NRPC Management included in the consolidated statements of profits and losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

2021 acquisitions

 

EMMAC Life Sciences Limited, a corporation existing under the laws of England and Wales

 

On April 7, 2021, Curaleaf International completed the acquisition of EMMAC (the “EMMAC Transaction”), in order to establish the Company’s presence and position the Company for continued growth in the European cannabis market. Base consideration for the EMMAC Transaction consisted of (i) approximately $45.2 million in cash, (ii) the issuance of 15,714,390 SVS to benefit the former holders of ordinary shares of EMMAC with a fair value, based on a third party valuation that takes into account transfer restrictions and the time value of money, of approximately $178.6 million and (iii) 706,105 SVS to be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement with a fair value of approximately $7.4 million. The portion of the consideration paid through the issuance of SVS is subject to a lock-up agreement with each recipient restricting trading of the SVS received, with an initial release of 5% of SVS from such restrictions at closing, and subsequent release of 5% of SVS from such restrictions at the end of each calendar quarter following the closing of the EMMAC Transaction.

 

Additional consideration may become payable based upon the successful achievement of certain performance milestones including being permitted by a governmental entity in Europe to sell, produce, market, or distribute cannabis for recreational purposes on a temporary, trial, experimental, interim, study, or pilot basis, achieving revenue targets in 2022 in the U.K. and Germany markets, and dry flower production at the Terra Verde cultivation facilities of at least 10 tons during 2022. The total contingent consideration, consisting of both cash and share components, related to the EMMAC Transaction had a fair value of $27.2 million as of the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2022, the Company determined that the earn-out criteria for the potential payout related to dry flower production at the Terra Verde cultivation facilities would not be met, and as a result the Company recorded a gain of $5.5 million within “Other income” within the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Profits and Losses and Other Comprehensive Loss.

 

The Company also assumed a contingent consideration liability related to the EMMAC acquisition of Terra Verde in 2020, which had a fair value of $9.2 million and was subsequently paid out during the three months ended March 31, 2022. After working capital adjustments at closing, the total consideration for EMMAC was $267.6 million. In April 2022, the Company finalized purchase price accounting. Aggregate measurement period adjustments to the purchase price allocation recorded and translated as of the date of the acquisition resulted in a decrease to accounts receivable, net of $15.9 million, an increase to prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.5 million, an increase to inventory of $2.8 million, a decrease to biological assets of $3.5 million, an increase to other assets of $8.7 million, an increase to licenses of $1.3 million, a decrease to tradenames of $1.2 million, an increase to know-how of $0.1 million, a decrease to goodwill of $28.5 million, a decrease to deferred tax liabilities of $22.3 million, and a decrease to liabilities assumed of $13.5 million.

 

Maryland Compassionate Care and Wellness, LLC (“MCCW”)

Los Sueños Farms, LLC and its related entities

 

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Los Sueños Farms and its related entities (“Los Sueños”), the largest outdoor grow in Colorado. Following the successful completion of the Los Sueños acquisition, the Company owns three Pueblo, Colorado outdoor cannabis grow facilities covering 66 acres of cultivation capacity including land, equipment, and licensed operating entities; an 1,800 plant indoor grow; and two retail cannabis dispensary locations serving adult use customers. The Company acquired Los Sueños, the Company’s first outdoor grow, in order to increase cultivation capacity to accelerate the Company’s growth in and share of the Colorado market and in order to leverage Los Sueños’ outdoor cultivation expertise.

The portion of the consideration paid through the issuance of SVS was subject to a regulatory “hold period” and is subject to a lock-up agreement with each recipient restricting trading of the SVS received, with an initial release of 20% of the SVS from such restrictions upon closing, and subsequent releases of 5% of the SVS from such restrictions at the end of each calendar quarter following closing. Additional consideration may become payable by the Company based upon the successful achievement of certain performance milestones including achieving cash flow targets in 2022 and obtaining enhanced tier licenses. The aggregate contingent consideration related to Los Sueños has a fair value of $2.7 million. During the measurement period, the Company reclassified $2.7 million of the contingent consideration from liabilities to equity. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company issued 331,900 SVS to the former owners of Los Sueños for the successful obtainment of enhanced tiered licensing. During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the purchase price allocation recorded as of December 31, 2021. The measurement period adjustments resulted in an increase to cash of $0.04 million, an increase to accounts receivable, net in the amount of $0.2 million, a decrease to inventory in the amount of $0.6 million, an increase to goodwill in the amount of $0.1 million, and a decrease to liabilities assumed of $0.2 million.

 

The Company finalized purchase price accounting during the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company incurred and expensed transaction costs of approximately $0.5 million related to the Los Sueños acquisition.

Former Grassroots Entities (“GR Entities”)

 

Through the acquisition of Grassroots, the Company has retained a transferrable right to acquire from former Grassroots affiliates companies that currently own three licensed Illinois medical dispensaries and nine adult use dispensaries (collectively, the “Illinois Assets”). The right to acquire the Illinois Assets may be exercised through the conversion of certain debt which the Company treats as intercompany debt. Therefore, there would not be any accounting expense to the Company should it exercise the right to acquire the Illinois Assets. Pursuant to the Grassroots Merger Agreement, the proceeds net of expenses and taxes from the sale of Curaleaf’s rights to the Illinois Assets shall be shared by the Company with the former owners of Grassroots as follows: (i) the first $25 million of net proceeds shall be retained by the Company; (ii) the next $25 million of net proceeds shall be remitted to the former Grassroots owners; and (iii) the Company shall keep 50% of the net proceeds above $50 million, and the other 50% shall be remitted to the Grassroots owners (the “Illinois Waterfall Payment”). Also pursuant to the Grassroots Merger Agreement, the former Grassroots owners have the right, which became exercisable as of July 23, 2022, to demand that, in lieu of receipt of a portion of the Illinois Waterfall Payment, that Curaleaf pay to them either (a) $25 million in cash or (b) a number of SVS that have market value equal to $30 million (the “Illinois Exit Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, if and when the Illinois Exit Payment is made, Curaleaf will then have the sole right to proceeds from the Illinois Assets.

 

On April 1, 2021, Curaleaf and the owners of the Illinois Assets signed definitive agreements to sell the Illinois Assets to Parallel Illinois, LLC (“Parallel”). Under the terms of the transaction, the purchase price for the Illinois Assets consists of up to $100 million base price to be paid $60 million in cash and $40 million in Parallel stock, plus earnouts of up to an additional $55 million payable through 2023. The Company received a $10 million deposit from Parallel, which was refundable under limited circumstances. On February 25, 2022, the Company received correspondence from Parallel’s attorneys indicating that it will not be in a position to complete the acquisition of the Illinois Assets due to lack of financing, among other reasons, and declared its agreement to purchase the Illinois Assets terminated. The Company has asserted that Parallel’s actions have constituted material breaches of its agreement with Parallel and on February 2, 2022 filed an arbitration against Parallel and certain principals of Parallel for breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation and other claims.

 

As a result of the breach of contract, management determined that the $10 million deposit received from Parallel is no longer refundable as of June 30, 2022, and accordingly recognized a gain within “Other income” in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Profits and Losses and Other Comprehensive Loss. As a result of the termination of the sale of the Illinois Assets to Parallel, during the current period, the Company grossed up a liability within “Other current liabilities” for the Illinois Exit Payment that will be due to the former owners of Grassroots, which was earlier recorded as a reduction (net) of held for sale assets, a result of the potential Illinois Waterfall Payment that will no longer be required to be remitted to the former owners of Grassroots in the event of Illinois Exit Payment.

 

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell the Grassroots Vermont entities; PhytoScience Management Group, Inc., including Vermont Patients Alliance, LLC, PhytoScience Institute, LLC, and Nutraceutical Science Laboratories, LLC as well as the Grassroots Little Rock Arkansas entity and accordingly has recorded the associated net assets of these entities as held for sale during the current period. The sales of these assets are expected to be completed in the second half of 2022.

 

Additionally, the Company has been actively marketing certain rights and interests for certain real estate assets associated with the acquisition of Grassroots.

 

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sale of Grassroots Oklahoma which resulted in a gain of approximately $1 million.

Eureka

 

The Company signed a letter of intent to sell ECCA Investment Partners, LLC (“Eureka”) in August 2021, and subsequently signed a purchase agreement for such sale in February 2022. The purchase agreement includes cash consideration of $0.25 million and a note receivable of $2.75 million for total consideration of $3 million. The sales price of the entity was lower than the net assets; as such, an impairment, including amounts related to the value of the license intangible asset as well as fixed assets, was recorded to bring the net assets to the estimated fair market value at the time such assets were classified as held for sale. The final sale is awaiting completion due to a post-closing covenant which would transfer the Eureka license to the purchasers upon completion of such covenant.

 

Note 8 – Notes receivable

 

Notes receivable consist of the following:

Senior Secured Notes – 2026

 

In December 2021, the Company closed on a private placement of senior secured notes due 2026, for aggregate gross proceeds of $475 million (“Senior Secured Notes – 2026”). The note indenture dated December 15, 2021 governing the Senior Secured Notes – 2026 (the “Note Indenture”) enables the Company to issue additional senior secured notes on an ongoing basis as needed, subject to maintaining leverage ratios and complying with other terms and conditions of the Note Indenture. The principal restrictions on incurring indebtedness include the requirement that a fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.5:1 and consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio of 4:1 be maintained when taking into account the incurrence of additional debt. The issue of additional Senior Secured Notes or other debt pari passu to the existing notes is permitted provided that the consolidated secured debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio of 3:1 is maintained when taking into account the incurrence of additional debt, and certain other conditions are met. The Company and certain of its guarantor subsidiaries are required to grant a first lien security interest in their respective assets to the trustee appointed under the Note Indenture, including assets acquired after the issue of the Notes, subject to limited exceptions. Despite the first lien granted to the holders of the Notes, the Note Indenture permits the Company to grant a more senior lien to secure up to $200 million of additional financing from commercial banks, providing for revolving credit loans, provided that the interest rate applicable to such revolving credit loans shall be lower than the interest rate applicable to the Senior Secured Notes – 2026.

 

The Senior Secured Notes – 2026 bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded semi-annually and payable in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year during the term of the Senior Secured Notes – 2026; the first of which was paid on June 15, 2022.

 

20

 

 

The Senior Secured Notes – 2026 may be redeemed early but are subject to a prepayment premium dependent on the loan year. Any redemption made before June 15, 2023 will incur a penalty of 8% and a maximum of 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the Note Indenture (including any additional notes issued thereunder) may be redeemed with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings that occurred within the prior 90 days. All or part of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes – 2026 may be redeemed between June 15, 2023 and June 14, 2024 with a premium of 4%; between June 15, 2024 and June 14, 2025 with a premium of 2%, or June 15, 2025 or after without a premium.

 

The Company recognized interest expense under the Senior Secured Notes – 2026 of $11.2 million and $22.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

 

Bloom Notes

 

In connection with the Bloom acquisition, the Company issued secured promissory notes to the former Bloom owners in the aggregate of $160 million, which mature over three years. The first and second set of notes are each $50 million and mature in January 2023 and 2024; each bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and interest payments are due quarterly.

 

The final promissory note is a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $60 million, which matures in January 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum. Interest payments are not required until maturity, when all principal and accrued interest will be due. At the option of the sellers of Bloom, the third promissory note may be paid by the Company issuing SVS at maturity.

 

All three notes may be prepaid without penalty.

 

The Company recognized interest expense under the Bloom Notes of $3.6 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 12 – Shareholders’ equity

 

The authorized and issued share capital of the Company is as follows:

 

Authorized

 

As of June 30, 2022 the authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of multiple voting shares (“MVS”) without par value and an unlimited number of SVS without par value.

 

21

 

 

Issued

 

As of June 30, 2022 the Company had 93,970,705 MVS issued and outstanding, that were held indirectly by Boris Jordan, the Company's Executive Chairman.

 

Holders of the MVS are entitled to 15 votes per share and are entitled to notice of and to attend at any meeting of the shareholders, except a meeting of which only holders of another particular class or series of shares will have the right to vote. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the MVS represent approximately 13.2%, respectively, of the total issued and outstanding shares and 69.6% in each quarter, of the voting power attached to such outstanding shares. The MVS are convertible into SVS on a one-for-one basis at any time at the option of the holder or upon termination of the MVS structure. The dual-class structure will remain until the earlier to occur of (i) the transfer or disposition of the MVS by Mr. Boris Jordan to one or more third parties which are not permitted holders; (ii) Mr. Jordan or his permitted holders no longer beneficially owning, directly or indirectly and in the aggregate, at least 5% of the issued and outstanding SVS and MVS on a non-diluted basis; and (iii) the first business day following the first annual meeting of shareholders of the Company following the SVS being listed and posted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange such as The Nasdaq Stock Market or The New York Stock Exchange. Refer to the management information circular dated July 30, 2021 and available on SEDAR under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com for more information on the Amendment.

 

On January 12, 2021, the Company completed an overnight marketed offering of 18,975,000 SVS at a price of C$16.70 per share in an underwritten public offering, for total gross proceeds of C$316.8 million, before deducting the underwriters’ fees and estimated offering expense. The Company used the net proceeds of $240.6 million from the overnight marketed offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

As of June 30, 2022 the Company had 616,165,716 SVS issued and outstanding. Holders of the SVS are entitled to one vote per share.

 

The Company had reserved 71,013,642 and 70,834,043 SVS, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, for the issuance of stock options under the Company’s 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) (see Note 13 – Share-based payment arrangements).

 

Treasury shares

 

There were no shares repurchased into treasury during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Note 13 – Share-based payment arrangements

 

Stock option programs

 

The 2011 and 2015 Equity Incentive Plans provided for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other share-based awards. In connection with the Business Combination, all unexercised stock options of Curaleaf, Inc. issued and outstanding under the 2011 and 2015 Equity Incentive Plans were converted to the option to receive an equivalent substitute option under the LTIP. The LTIP provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, and other share-based awards. The number of SVS reserved for issuance under the LTIP is calculated as 10% of the aggregate number of SVS and MVS outstanding on an “as-converted” basis.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2021, management discovered an error related to disclosures around the number of share options and RSUs forfeited, expired, and outstanding which existed during the period ended June 30, 2021 as well. See further details regarding such restatements at Note 22 – Restatement and restated June 30, 2021 amounts below.

 

Stock option valuation

 

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model, where appropriate. In instances where stock options have performance or market conditions, the Company utilizes the Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate the various outcomes that affect the value of the option.

 

22

 

 

The weighted average inputs used in the measurement of the grant date fair values of the equity-settled share-based payment plans were as follows:

 

   June 30, 
   2022   2021 
Fair value at grant date  $3.98   $10.14 
Share price at grant date  $7.98   $14.73 
Exercise price  $7.29   $15.77 
Expected volatility   70.3%   76.6%
Expected life   4.15 years    6.10years
Expected dividends   %   %
Risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds)    2.50%    1.02%

 

The expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatility. Management believes this is the best estimate of the expected volatility over the expected life of its stock options. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is equal to the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded share-based compensation in the amount of $6.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively, compared to $18.4 million and $23.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Reconciliation of outstanding share options

 

The number and weighted-average exercise prices of share options under the LTIP were as follows:

 

       Weighted       Weighted 
   Number of   average   Number of   average 
   options   exercise price   options   exercise price

Options exercisable at June 30   19,141,446   $5.82    17,084,046   $4.30 

 

Reconciliation of RSUs

 

The number of RSUs awarded under the LTIP were as follows:

 

   Number of RSUs 
   2022   2021

   Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30, 
   2022   2021   2022   2021 
Selling, general and administrative expenses:                    
Salaries and benefits  $58,631   $47,265   $114,579   $88,333

Total selling, general and administrative expense  $107,516   $87,959   $207,276   $168,052 

 

Note 15 – Other income (expense)

 

Other expense consists of the following:

 

   Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30, 
   2022   2021   2022   2021 
Gain on disposal of assets  $729   $54   $1,601   $66 
Loss on foreign currency exchange       (56)       (56)
Gain on investment   15,100    2,148    14,852    2,148 
Gain on non-substantial debt modification       4        4 
Other income   2,753    154    3,572    557 
Total other income, net  $18,582   $2,304   $20,025   $2,719 

 

Note 16 – Earnings per share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. was calculated as follows:

 

   Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30, 
   2022   2021   2022   2021 
       (As Restated)       (As Restated) 
Numerator:                    
Net loss  $(24,861)  $(8,283)  $(39,406)  $(23,104)
Less:  Net loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest   117    (2,524)   (1,655)   (2,524)
Net loss attributable to Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. — basic and diluted  $(24,978)  $(5,759)  $(37,751)  $(20,580)
Denominator:                    
Weighted average SVS outstanding — basic and diluted   709,965,526    701,668,932    709,434,324    691,909,375 
Loss per share — basic and diluted  $(0.04)  $(0.01)  $(0.05)  $(0.03)

 

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options to purchase shares of the Company, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to shareholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted loss per share attributable to Curaleaf, Inc. for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

 

   Six months ended June 30, 
    2022    2021 
Options to purchase SVS   24,941,974    25,283,925 

 

During the period ended December 31, 2021, management discovered an error related to Select purchase price accounting, which resulted in a change in the EPS calculation for the period ended March 31, 2021. See further details regarding such restatement at Note 22 – Restatement.

Note 17 – Segment reporting

 

The Company operates in one segment; the cultivation, production, and sale of cannabis via retail and wholesale channels. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company operated in two segments; Cannabis and Non-Cannabis. During the period ended March 31, 2022, the Company reevaluated the Company’s operating structure and determined that the Non-Cannabis segment is no longer a relevant or material portion of the Company’s business. For comparability purposes, total segment metrics in the prior year disclosures should be considered to be representative of the Company’s one segment presentation in the current period.

 

Note 18 – Commitments and contingencies

 

Leases

 

The Company leases its facilities under operating leases that provide for the payment of real estate taxes and other operating costs in addition to normal rent.

 

Real estate leases typically extend for a period of 1–10 years. Some leases for office space include extension options exercisable up to one year before the end of the cancellable lease term. Typically, the option to renew the lease is for an additional period of 5 years after the end of the initial contract term and is at the option of the Company as the lessee. Lease payments are in substance fixed, and certain real estate leases include annual escalation clauses with reference to an index or contractual rate.

 

The Company leases machinery and equipment but does not purchase or guarantee the value of leased assets. The Company considers these assets to be of low-value or short-term in nature and therefore no right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities are recognized for these leases. Expenses recognized relating to short-term leases and leases of low value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

 

The Company leases space for its offices, cultivation centers, and retail dispensaries. Key movements relating to the right-of-use lease asset balances are presented below:

 

Carrying amount, December 31, 2021  $285,111 
ROU assets acquired (Note 4)   14,265 
Additions to leased assets   79,082 
Depreciation charges   (19,512)
Changes in assets held for sale   329 
Carrying amount, June 30, 2022  $359,275 

 

25

 

 

At June 30, 2022, approximate future minimum payments due under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows:

 

Period  Scheduled payments 
2022 (remaining six months)  $33,758 
2023   65,770 
2024   63,911 
2025   61,961 
2026   60,743 
2027 and thereafter   453,316 
Total undiscounted lease liability   739,459 
Impact of discount   (336,151)
Lease liability at June 30, 2022   403,308 
Less current portion of lease liability   (23,266)
Less long-term lease liabilities transferred to liabilities associated with assets held for sale   (1,462)
Long-term portion of lease liability  $378,580 

 

The total interest expense on lease liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 $10.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, compared to $9.3 million and $17.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

The total depreciation expense on ROU assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $9.9 million and $19.8 million, respectively, of which $4.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively, was included in cost of goods sold.

 

The total depreciation expense on ROU assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $8.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively, of which $4.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, was included in cost of goods sold.

 

The total cash outflow for lease liability payments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $29.3 million and $25.1 million, respectively, compared to $12.1 million and $25.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Indemnification agreements

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and senior management team that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnification agreements. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its Interim Financial Statements.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in claims or lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for claims or lawsuits are provided to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and estimable. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims or lawsuits cannot be ascertained, on the basis of present information and advice received from counsel, it is management’s opinion that the disposition or ultimate determination of such claims or lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Among other legal disputes, the Company is currently, or was, involved in the following proceedings related to material disputes:

 

Eagle Valley Holdings, LLC. On January 4, 2023, a Curaleaf subsidiary that purchased the Bloom assets in Arizona, filed suit against the sellers of the Bloom assets and Edmond Vartughian, their designated representative, in Arizona Superior Court in Maricopa County for violation of certain representations and warranties in the purchase agreement related to the transaction including with respect to the condition of one of the buildings in the acquired cultivation facility. The parties resolved the claims on March 21, 2023 and dismissed the suit. As part of the settlement agreement, the parties have agreed to reduce the future principal payments of the Bloom Notes payable by Curaleaf by $10 million. The purchase price for Bloom was paid $69 million in cash at close, net of working capital adjustments, with the remaining approximately $160 million to be paid through the issuance of three promissory notes of $50 million and $60 million due, respectively, on the first, second, and third anniversary of closing of the transaction. Curaleaf has settled in full the $50 million note due January 2023 for $44 million and the principal of the $50 million note due January 2024 has been reduced by $4 million.

Sentia Wellness. On January 6, 2022, Measure 8 Ventures, LP, and other purchasers of debentures from Sentia Wellness, Inc. (“Sentia”), filed suit against Nitin Khanna and six other former officers, directors, and/or advisors of Sentia in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Multnomah County alleging violations of Oregon securities law by making false and misleading statements and omissions to induce the plaintiffs to purchase over $74 million of debentures in Sentia. On May 16, 2022, the defendants filed their answer to the plaintiffs’ complaint along with affirmative defenses and various counter-claims against the plaintiffs as well as claims against third-parties Curaleaf Holdings, Inc., Cura Partners, Inc., and other individuals. The third-party claims include claims for unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and tortious interference in connection with Curaleaf’s acquisition of Cura Partners, Inc. The third-party complaint also alleges claims against Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. and Cura Partners, Inc. for indemnification as well as reimbursement and advancement of attorneys’ fees and expenses under Oregon law and Cura Partners, Inc.’s bylaws. Nitin Khanna and the third-party plaintiffs seek actual damages in an amount of $515 million and other relief. However, Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. and Cura Partners, Inc. were not targeted by all of the third-party plaintiffs claims. On October 25, 2022, Nitin Khanna and the third-party plaintiffs filed a stipulation of dismissal which was subsequently signed by the judge and which dismissed without prejudice all of their claims against Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. and Cura Partners, Inc. Mr. Clateman and Mr. Martinez have moved to dismiss all claims against them; the court has not yet scheduled argument on that motion.

 

Connecticut Arbitration. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Doubling Road Holdings, LLC, the holders (the “Holders”) of a majority of the Series A-2 Units of Doubling Road Holdings had the right (the “Put Right”) to require that PalliaTech CT, LLC or any of its affiliates purchase all of the Series A-2 Units in exchange for shares of PalliaTech, Inc. (now Curaleaf, Inc.), the parent of PalliaTech CT, pursuant to a defined “Buy-Out Exchange Ratio.” On October 25, 2018, the Holders, the Company, and others entered into a Stipulation of Settlement in order to resolve a dispute with respect to the applicable Buy-Out Exchange Ratio for the Put Right. The Stipulation of Settlement provided, among other things, that PalliaTech CT purchased the Holders’ interests in exchange for (1) a payment of $40.1 million; (2) 4,755,548 SVS; and (3) the potential for additional equity in the Company depending on the results of a “Settlement Second Appraisal.” Pursuant to the Settlement Second Appraisal, dated December 12, 2019, and the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, the Holders received 2,016,859 additional SVS. On January 23, 2020, the Holders filed claims in arbitration including for fraudulent inducement and breach of contract, relating primarily to a lock-up agreement that the Holders signed in connection with the Stipulation of Settlement. The hearing of the case took place in April 2022 and on September 6, 2022, the arbitrator issued a Final Partial Award dismissing all of the DRH plaintiffs’ claims and awarding costs of the arbitration to Curaleaf. The arbitrator issued a final award of the costs to be paid by the DRH plaintiffs to Curaleaf, and the immaterial reimbursement was received in the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

Securities Class Action. On August 5, 2019, a purported class action was filed against the Company, Joseph Lusardi, Neil Davidson, and Jonathan Faucher (“Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded securities of the Company from November 21, 2018 to July 22, 2019. On January 6, 2020, an Amended Class Action Complaint was filed against the Defendants. The Amended Class Action Complaint alleges that the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company’s CBD products based on a July 22, 2019 letter received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA Letter”). According to the Amended Class Action Complaint, the FDA Letter states that several of the CBD products sold on the Company’s website were “misbranded drugs” in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The Amended Class Action Complaint asserts claims (1) against all Defendants for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (2) against Lusardi, Davidson, and Faucher for alleged violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On March 6, 2020, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss arguing that the Amended Class Action Complaint failed to allege (1) any false or misleading statement or omission, (2) scienter, (3) any domestic transactions, or (4) control person liability. On February 15, 2021, the Company’s motion to dismiss was granted with prejudice.

Taxes

 

The Company records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. There is inherent uncertainty in quantifying income tax positions, especially considering the complex tax laws and regulations for federal, state and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company has recorded tax benefits for those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will result upon ultimate settlement with a tax authority that has all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will result, no tax benefit has been recognized in the Interim Financial Statements.

 

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. The Company is currently in the IRS examination Appeals process for the tax years 2016, 2017, and 2018 and the Company’s subsidiary, Curaleaf North Shore, Inc. (formerly known as Alternative Therapies Group, Inc.) is in Tax Court related to an IRS examination for 2018. As of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $7.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits and expects there is a reasonable possibility that $1.1 million of these unrecognized tax benefits may change within 12 months due to expirations of statute of limitations or audit settlements. As of June 30, 2022, the Company also accrued interest and penalties of $1.9 million for its uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties related to income tax amounts as a component of income tax expense.

 

The IRS has proposed adjustments relating to the Company’s treatment of certain expenses under Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 280E”), however, the Company is defending its tax reporting positions before the IRS. The outcome of this audit remains unclear at this point. The Company also intends to litigate any further such challenges because it currently believes all of its other tax positions can be sustained under an IRS examination. The ultimate resolution of tax matters could have a material effect on the Company's Interim Financial Statements. As the IRS interpretations on Section 280E continue to evolve, the impact of any such challenges cannot be reliably estimated. The Company's tax years are still open under statute from December 31, 2016, to the present.

 

Note 19 – Related party transactions

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

 

The EMMAC Transaction (see Note 4 – Acquisitions) constituted a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as a result of Measure 8 Ventures Management, LLC, an investment management company controlled by Boris Jordan, the Executive Chairman and control person of the Company (including funds managed by such entity, “Measure 8”), having an interest in the EMMAC Transaction by way of a profit interest and a convertible debt instrument which converted into shares of EMMAC representing 8% of EMMAC equity at closing of the EMMAC Transaction. Mr. Jordan owns a controlling interest in Measure 8 Management, LLC. The Company relied upon the exemptions provided under Sections 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 – Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 – Fair Market Value Not More the 25% of Market Capitalization from the requirements that the Company obtain a formal valuation of the EMMAC Transaction and that the EMMAC Transaction receive the approval of the minority shareholders of the Company.

 

The terms of the EMMAC Transaction and Curaleaf International Transaction were negotiated by management and advisors under guidance of, and unanimously recommended for approval by, a committee composed of members of the Board of Directors free from any conflict of interest with respect to the EMMAC Transaction and Curaleaf International Transaction (the “Special Committee”), all of which were independent members of the Board of Directors within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees. The Special Committee received a fairness opinion from the independent investment bank Eight Capital, to the effect that, in its opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the consideration paid by the Company as part of the EMMAC Transaction was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company. The fee paid to Eight Capital in connection with the delivery of its fairness opinion was not contingent on the successful implementation of the EMMAC Transaction.

Note 20 – Fair value measurements and financial risk management

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt, and redeemable non-controlling interest contingency. The fair values of cash, restricted cash, notes receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term to maturity. The Company’s long-term notes payable carrying value at the effective interest rate approximates fair value.

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

 

29

 

 

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include investments, long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the asset be recorded at its fair value. The resulting fair value measurements of the assets are considered to be Level 3 measurements.

 

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Biological assets

 

The fair value of biological assets is categorized within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. The Company measures its biological assets at fair value less costs to sell. This is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield in grams for plants that are actively growing, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price per gram in the market in which the biological asset is growing, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price per gram in the market in which the biological asset is growing. The estimates used in determining the fair value of biological assets are subject to volatility and several uncontrollable factors, which could significantly affect the fair value of biological assets in future periods. The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of biological assets include:

 

Expected yield by plant – represents the expected number of grams of finished cannabis inventory which are expected to be obtained from each harvested cannabis plant;

 

Wastage of plants – represents the weighted average percentage of biological assets which are expected to fail to mature into cannabis plants that can be harvested;

 

Duration of the production cycle – represents the weighted average number of weeks out of the 12 week growing cycle that biological assets have reached as of the measurement date;

 

Percentage of costs incurred as of this date compared to the total costs expected to be incurred – this is calculated as the cost per gram of harvested cannabis to complete the sale of cannabis plants post harvest, consisting of the cost of direct and indirect materials and labor related to further production, labeling, and packaging;

 

Percentage of costs incurred for each stage of plant growth – represents the direct and indirect production costs incurred that are capitalized; and

 

30

 

 

Market values – this is calculated as the current market price per gram in the market in which the biological asset is being produced. This is expected to approximate future selling price.

 

The Company accretes fair value on a straight line basis according to stage of growth. As a result, a cannabis plant that is 50% through its 12 week growing cycle would be ascribed approximately 50% of its harvest date expected fair value. All plants are to be harvested cannabis and as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, on average, were 61% and 57% complete respectively. An increase or decrease in the estimated sale price would result in a significant change in the fair value of biological assets.

 

The following table highlights the sensitivities and impact of changes in significant assumptions to the fair value of biological assets:

 

   Sensitivity Inputs ('000s)      (+/-) Impact on Fair Value  ('000s) 
Significant inputs & assumptions  June 30, 2022   December 31, 2021   Sensitivity  June 30, 2022   December 31, 2021 
Total completed grams   21,968    14,900   (+/-) 10% grams yield  $7,594   $6,407 
Average cost per gram to complete production  $0.94   $0.97   (+/-) $1.00 per gram  $21,968   $14,900 
Average selling price per gram, less cost  $3.46   $4.30   (+/-) $1.00 per gram  $43,937   $29,800 

 

Curaleaf International put/call rights

 

On April 7, 2021, the Company established Curaleaf International together with a strategic investor who provided initial capital of $130.8 million for 31.5% equity stake in Curaleaf International. Curaleaf and the strategic investor have entered into a shareholders' agreement regarding the governance of Curaleaf International pursuant to which Curaleaf has control over operational issues as well as raising capital and the ability to exit the business. In addition, the strategic investor's stake is subject to put/call rights which permit either party to cause the stake to be bought out by Curaleaf for Curaleaf equity starting the earlier of change of control or in 2025.

 

The Curaleaf International put/call rights represent a financial liability that is recorded at the present value of the redemption amount, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in redeemable NCI within equity. The redemption amount of the puttable option approximates the contribution amount by the strategic investor and represents a level 3 financial instrument, that is valued at each reporting period utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. The fair value determination includes a high degree of subjectivity and judgement, which results in significant estimation uncertainty. As of June 30, 2022, the Curaleaf International put/call rights represent a financial liability of $44.3 million, with the offset being recognized separately from non-controlling interest in redeemable non-controlling interest within equity.

 

Financial Risk Management

 

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s notes and accounts receivable. The maximum credit exposure at June 30, 2022 and 2021 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and notes receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers. All cash and cash equivalents are placed with major U.S. financial institutions.

 

The Company provides credit to its wholesale and MSA customers in the normal course of business and has established processes to mitigate credit risk. The amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial position are net of allowances for credit losses, estimated by the Company’s management based on prior experience and its assessment of the current economic environment. The Company reviews its trade receivable accounts regularly and reduces amounts to their expected realizable values by adjusting for expected credit losses when management determines that the account may not be fully collectible. The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. The Company has not adopted standardized credit policies, but rather assesses credit on a customer-by-customer basis in an effort to minimize those risks.

 

31

 

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

 

In December 2021, the Company closed a private placement of Senior Secured Notes - 2026, for aggregate gross proceeds of $475 million to the Company. The notes bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded semi-annually and payable in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year during the term of the notes; the first of which will be June 15, 2022. The Note Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes - 2026 contains numerous positive and negative covenants of the Company. If the Company breaches a covenant under the Note Indenture, the trustee may, under certain circumstances, accelerate the maturity of the principal amount outstanding or realize on the collateral granted by the Company over its assets. A breach of covenant under the Note Indenture could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position.

 

In connection with the Bloom acquisition, the Company issued secured promissory notes to the former Bloom owners in the aggregate of $160 million, which mature over three years. The first and second set of notes are each $50 million and mature in January 2023 and 2024; each bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and interest payments are due quarterly.

 

The final promissory note is a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $60 million, which matures in January 2025 and bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum. Interest payments are not required until maturity, when all principal and accrued interest will be due. At the option of the sellers of Bloom, the third promissory note may be paid by the Company issuing SVS at maturity.All three notes may be prepaid without penalty.

 

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 11 – Notes payable and Note 18 – Commitments and contingencies, the Company has the following gross remaining contractual obligations:

 

   < 1 Year   1 to 3 Years   Total 
For the period ended June 30, 2022:               
Accounts payable  $73,942   $   $73,942 
Accrued expenses   89,463        89,463 
Other current liabilities   28,861        28,861 
Non-controlling interest redemption liability       44,335    44,335 
Contingent consideration liability   20,963    1,874    22,837 
Other long term liability       9,382    9,382 
   $213,229   $55,591   $268,820 

 

   < 1 Year   1 to 3 Years   Total 
For the period ended December 31, 2021:               
Accounts payable  $26,751   $   $26,751 
Accrued expenses   87,583        87,583 
Other current liabilities   12,171        12,171 
Non-controlling interest redemption liability       72,140    72,140 
Contingent consideration liability   9,155    28,839    37,994 
Other long term liability       5,876    5,876 
   $135,660   $106,855   $242,515 

 

The Company is monitoring the impacts of COVID-19 closely, and although liquidity has not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment is uncertain. Given the current uncertainty of the future economic environment, the Company has taken additional measures in monitoring and deploying its capital to minimize the negative impact on liquidity. For more information, see Note 2 – Basis of presentation, COVID-19 estimation uncertainty.

Currency Risk

 

The operating results and financial position of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars. Some of the Company’s financial transactions have been and may be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates. The Company’s notes receivable and financial debts have fixed rates of interest and are carried at amortized cost. The Company does not account for any fixed-rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value, therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

 

Capital Management

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

 

The capital structure of the Company consists of items included in shareholders’ equity and debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets. The Company plans to use existing funds, as well as funds from the future sale of products to fund operations and expansion activities.

Note 22 – Restatement

 

Revenue Restatement

 

The Company has restated its annual financial statements for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the three months ended March 31, 2022, the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which were previously filed on SEDAR and EDGAR. Subsequent to the original issuance of those financial statements, the Audit Committee, with the assistance of outside counsel and consultants and in discussion with the Company’s auditors, conducted a review of certain purchases and sales of products through the Company’s wholesale channel to determine whether they had commercial substance, and to confirm the timing and appropriateness of the recognition of revenue from those transactions. Further to this review, the Company has determined to make adjustments to the revenue figures reported in the previously mentioned financial statements periods. Errors have been corrected in these amended and restated unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as well as in the amended and restated unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and in the amended and restated audited annual consolidated financial statements for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Select Acquisition

 

During the period ended December 31, 2021, management discovered an error related to purchase accounting that was identified subsequent to the measurement period for the Select acquisition. The Company purchased Select for its brand recognition in order to position the Company for its next phase of growth in the wholesale and recreational cannabis markets. Management determined that the Company’s initial identification and measurement of licenses and service agreements as the primary intangible assets acquired was not reflective of the purpose of the acquisition, and therefore updated purchase accounting to reflect the Select tradename as the primary asset acquired. The restatement resulted in an overall decrease in the value of intangible assets identified, which in turn also resulted in a decrease in the related deferred tax liability and amortization expense. The reduction in the consideration transferred allocated to intangible assets and deferred tax liability resulted in a net increase to goodwill, while the decrease in amortization expense increased pre-tax book income which resulted in an increase in tax expense (see adjustments below). As the discovery was made outside of the acquisition measurement period, in accordance with IFRS 3, the Company considered this change as an error related to the allocation of purchase consideration, and retrospectively updated purchase accounting to identify, distinguish, and revalue the separately identifiable intangible assets acquired in accordance with IAS 38.

 

Adjustments have been retrospectively made to the comparative period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The financial statements for the periods as of and ended between March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021 were not adjusted and refiled at the time of discovery of the error, rather the comparative period as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 was corrected with the filing of the Annual Financial Statements for the period ending December 31, 2021 filed on March 7, 2022 and available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com. The comparative period as of and for the three and six months ending June 30, 2021 has been corrected herein, and the period as of and for the three months ending March 31, 2021 was corrected with the Interim Financial Statements for the period such ended filed on May 7, 2022 and available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com. The period as of and ending September 30, 2021 will be corrected with the filing of the applicable 2022 Interim Financial Statements.

Number of Share Options & RSUs

 

During the period ended December 31, 2021, management determined that prior period financial statements needed to be restated to correct an error related to disclosures around the number of share options and RSUs forfeited, expired, and outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

 

Adjustments have been retrospectively made to the comparative period as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to reflect mandatory disclosures associated with the reconciliation of share options and RSUs. Refer to Note 13 – Share-based payment arrangements of these Interim Financial Statements for disclosures that reflect these adjustments. The correction of this error did not result in any changes to the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of profits and losses and other comprehensive loss, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Note 23 – Subsequent events

 

On January 26, 2023, the Company announced its planned closure of a majority of their operations in California, Colorado and Oregon, as well as the consolidation of its cultivation and processing operations in Massachusetts to a single facility in Webster, resulting in the closure of its Amesbury facility. These planned closures represent a strategic shift in the Company’s operations that is anticipated to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The financial effect of these closures is not readily known at the time of this filing. The planned closures of these operations did not meet the IFRS 5 held for sale criteria as of the balance sheet date, accordingly these entities were not classified as held for sale or discontinued operations as of December 31, 2022.

 

On April 13, 2023, the Board of the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (the “CRC Board”), at its regularly scheduled meeting, failed to renew the Company’s cannabis adult use licenses for cultivation and processing as well as two of its three dispensaries in the State (the CRC Board’s failure to renew did not affect the Company’s medical cannabis licenses), despite the conclusion by the CRC director and staff that Curaleaf had met the conditions for license renewal and their recommendation for renewal. The Company appealed this decision on April 14, 2023 and, on April 17, 2023, after a required 48-hour waiting period, filed with the NJ Court for an injunction to maintain its licenses. The same day, prior to the review of the application for an injunction by the court, the CRC Board held an emergency meeting that resulted in the renewal of the Company’s licenses, subject to certain conditions. If the CRC Board determines that Curaleaf has failed to satisfy these conditions, the CRC Board may, subject to normal due process, issue any penalties allowable under applicable regulations, which may include fines or the revocation of the renewed licenses. For additional information, please refer to the material change report dated April 22, 2023, a copy of which is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Company’s profile.
