You should carefully read the entire Offering Circular, including the risks associated with an investment in the company discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Offering Circular, before making an investment decision.

General

 

MedMen is a cannabis retailer based in the U.S. with flagship locations in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Chicago. MedMen offers a robust selection of high-quality products, including MedMen-owned brands, LuxLyte, and MedMen Red through its premium retail stores, proprietary delivery service, as well as curbside and in-store pick up.

 

As of September 15, 2021, the Company operates 23 store locations across California (12), Florida (6), Nevada (3), Illinois (1), and Arizona (1). The Company’s retail stores are located in strategic locations across key cities and neighborhoods in each of its markets. The Company has plans to open additional retail stores over the next 12 months, including, but not limited to the following cities:

 

  San Francisco, CA

 

  Morton Grove, IL

 

  Boston, MA

 

  Newton, MA

 

  Miami - South Beach, FL

 

  Jacksonville, FL

 

  Deerfield Beach, FL

 

  Tampa, FL

 

  Sarasota, FL

 

  Tallahassee, FL

 

The Company expects to continue strengthening its pipeline of stores through acquisitions, partnerships and applications for new licenses, with a focus on recreational states such as California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Massachusetts and medical states such as Florida.

 

In addition to expanding its physical store network in markets across the U.S., the Company plans to continue scaling its digital platform. The Company launched statewide same-day delivery in California in August 2019 and launched delivery in Nevada in September 2019. See “In-Store Pickup and Delivery” under the Section “Business” for further information about the Company’s delivery operations.

 

The Company launched MedMen Buds, the Company’s loyalty program in July 2019. The program currently is offered in all of the Company’s stores in Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and California and has more than 500,000 members. See “Loyalty Program” under the Section “Business” for further information about the Company’s loyalty program.

MedMen currently operates five cultivation and production facilities across Nevada, California, New York, Florida and Arizona. In California and Nevada, the Company is in discussions for the potential sublease of its cultivation and production facilities so that the Company can focus on its retail operations. The Company has not entered into any definitive agreements at this time. The Company currently intends to sub-lease the California and Nevada facilities to a third party that would acquire and/or take over the operations for the cultivation and production facilities. As a result, the Company would no longer operate cultivation and production facilities in California and Nevada.

 

In New York and Florida, the cultivation and production facilities are or will be focused primarily on the commercialization of cannabis (both medical and recreational, as permitted under applicable laws) and, in select locations, the research and development of new strains of cannabis and cultivation techniques. The procedures at each facility place an emphasis on customer and patient safety, with a strict quality control process. See “Cultivation and Production Operations” under the Section “Business” for further information about the Company’s cultivation and production operations.

 

The Company currently holds licenses within California, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Pursuant to an investment agreement entered into in February 2021, the Company is currently in the process of transferring the licenses its holds within New York, which are subject to regulatory approval. The Company views Nevada, California, Illinois, Florida and Massachusetts as providing ongoing opportunities for growth due to their market depth, current supply-demand dynamics and regulatory framework.

 

In addition to owning its own cannabis licenses and operations, the Company also provides management services to third-party cannabis license-holders. The Company currently has management services contracts at two licensed retail dispensaries in California. See “Management Services” under the Section “Description of Business” for further information about the Company’s management services.

 

The Company is operated by an executive team that has significant experience in the cannabis industry and other analogous industries such as retail, technology, consumer packaged goods, alcohol and apparel.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an ‘‘emerging growth company’’ within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and the exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.

 

Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” and will remain a smaller reporting company while either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. We intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies, such as reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this Offering Circular and our periodic reports and proxy statements. For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

REGULATORY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS

 

Cannabis continues to be a Controlled Substance under the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act and the operations of the Company may be deemed to be criminal in nature and/or subject the Company to substantial civil penalties.

 

MedMen both directly and indirectly engages in the medical and adult-use marijuana industry in the United States where local state law permits such activities. Investors are cautioned that in the United States, cannabis is largely regulated at the state level. Currently, in the United States, 37 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have legalized medical cannabis, and 18 states, in addition to the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam, have legalized cannabis for recreational purposes or “adult-use”. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of cannabis at the state level, cannabis continues to be categorized as a controlled substance under the CSA and as such, cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis violates federal law in the United States. The inconsistency between federal and state laws and regulations is a major risk factor.

 

At this time it is uncertain what policies the current President or Attorney General will take regarding the enforcement of federal cannabis laws. Although, the Attorney General has indicated he would deprioritize enforcement of low-level cannabis crimes such as possession, it is not yet known whether the Department of Justice under President Biden and Attorney General Garland will re-adopt the United States Department of Justice Memorandum drafted by former Deputy Attorney General James Michael Cole in 2013 (the “Cole Memo”), which offered guidance to federal enforcement agencies as to how to prioritize civil enforcement, criminal investigations and prosecutions regarding marijuana in all states. Due to the fact the leadership of the DOJ has changed and has not therefore introduced policies regarding the enforcement of the federal cannabis laws, there can be no assurance that the federal government will not seek to prosecute cases involving cannabis businesses that are otherwise compliant with state law.

 

Federal law pre-empts state law in these circumstances, so that the federal government can assert criminal violations of federal law despite state law. The level of prosecutions of state-legal cannabis operations is entirely unknown, and the current administration and DOJ has not articulated a policy regarding state legal cannabis. If the Department of Justice policy were to be to aggressively pursue financiers or equity owners of cannabis-related business, and United States Attorneys followed such Department of Justice policies through pursuing prosecutions, then we could face (i) seizure of its cash and other assets used to support or derived from its cannabis subsidiaries; and (ii) the arrest of its employees, directors, officers, managers and investors, who could face charges of ancillary criminal violations of the CSA for aiding and abetting and conspiring to violate the CSA by virtue of providing financial support to state-licensed or permitted cultivators, processors, distributors, and/or retailers of cannabis. Additionally, as has recently been affirmed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, employees, directors, officers, managers and investors of MedMen who are not U.S. citizens face the risk of being barred from entry into the United States for life.

 

If the new Administration and Attorney General do not adopt a policy incorporating some or all of the policies articulated in the Cole Memo, then the Department of Justice or an aggressive federal prosecutor could allege that we and our Board and, potentially our shareholders, “aided and abetted” violations of federal law by providing finances and services to its operating subsidiaries. Under these circumstances, it is possible that a federal prosecutor could seek to seize our assets, and to recover the “illicit profits” previously distributed to shareholders resulting from any of the foregoing financing or services. In these circumstances, our operations would cease, MedMen shareholders may lose their entire investment and directors, officers and/or MedMen shareholders may be left to defend any criminal charges against them at their own expense and, if convicted, be sent to federal prison.

 

Violations of any federal laws and regulations could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens, or criminal charges, including, but not limited to, disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities or divestiture. This could have a material adverse effect on MedMen, including our reputation and ability to conduct business, its holding (directly or indirectly) of medical and adult-use cannabis licenses in the United States, the listing of our securities on the CSE or other applicable exchanges, our capital, financial position, operating results, profitability or liquidity or the market price of our listed securities.

 

Overall, an investor’s contribution to and involvement in MedMen’s activities may result in federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, including forfeiture of his, her or its entire investment.

The Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment may not be Renewed Potentially Resulting in DOJ Enforcement Activities Against Entities in the Cannabis Industry.

 

The Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment, prohibits the DOJ from spending funds appropriated by Congress to enforce the tenets of the CSA against the medical cannabis industry in states which have legalized such activity. On December 27, 2020, the amendment was renewed through the signing of the fiscal year 2021 omnibus spending bill and is effective through September 30, 2021. There can be no assurance that the federal government will not seek to prosecute cases involving medical cannabis businesses that are otherwise compliant with state law. Such potential proceedings could involve significant restrictions being imposed upon the Company or third parties, while diverting the attention of key executives. Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company, even if such proceedings were concluded successfully in favor of the Company.

 

Our business is highly regulated and dependent in large part on the ability to obtain or renew government permits and licenses for our current and contemplated operations, of which there can be no assurance.

 

Our business is subject to a variety of laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the cultivation, manufacture, management, transportation, storage, sale and disposal of marijuana, including laws and regulations relating to health and safety, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment. Achievement of our business objectives are contingent, in part, upon compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and obtaining all requisite regulatory approvals. Changes to such laws, regulations and guidelines due to matters beyond our control may cause material adverse effects to our business operations.

 

We are required to obtain or renew government permits and licenses for our current and contemplated operations. Obtaining, amending or renewing the necessary governmental permits and licenses can be a time-consuming process potentially involving numerous regulatory agencies, involving public hearings and costly undertakings on our part. The duration and success of our efforts to obtain, amend and renew permits and licenses are contingent upon many variables not within our control, including the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the relevant permitting or licensing authority and planning and zoning requirements with respect to our locations. We may not be able to obtain, amend or renew permits or licenses that are necessary to our operations. In August 2020, we received a notice from the City of Pasadena that a determination was made that there had been a material change in ownership and/or management of MedMen such that the initial application was no longer valid, resulting in losing the right to proceed through the cannabis permitting process in Pasadena. In response, we filed a lawsuit challenging the city’s determination. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the permitting and licensing process could impede our ongoing or proposed operations. To the extent necessary permits or licenses are not obtained, amended or renewed, or are subsequently suspended or revoked, we may be curtailed or prohibited from proceeding with its ongoing operations or planned development and commercialization activities. Such curtailment or prohibition may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

 

While compliance controls have been developed to mitigate the risk of any material violations of any license or certificate we hold, there is no assurance that our licenses or certificates will be renewed by each applicable regulatory authority in the future in a timely manner. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing renewal process for any of the licenses or certificates held by MedMen could impede our ongoing or planned operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

 

We may become involved in a number of government or agency proceedings, investigations and audits. The outcome of any regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations, audits, and other contingencies could harm our reputation, require us to take, or refrain from taking, actions that could harm our operations or require us to pay substantial amounts of funds, harming its financial condition. There can be no assurance that any pending or future regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations and audits will not result in substantial costs or a diversion of management’s attention and resources or have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Public opinion and perception may significantly influence government policy and regulation of the cannabis industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and prospects.

 

Government policy changes or public opinion may also result in a significant influence over the regulation of the cannabis industry in the United States, Canada or elsewhere. Public opinion and support for medical and adult-use marijuana has traditionally been inconsistent and varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. While public opinion and support appears to be rising for legalizing medical and adult-use marijuana, it remains a controversial issue subject to differing opinions surrounding the level of legalization (for example, medical marijuana as opposed to legalization in general). Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of marijuana in general, or associating the consumption of adult-use and medical marijuana with illness or other negative effects or events, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or prospects. There is no assurance that such adverse publicity reports or other media attention will not arise. A negative shift in the public’s perception of cannabis, including vaping or other forms of cannabis administration, in the United States, Canada or any other applicable jurisdiction could affect future legislation or regulation. Among other things, such a shift could cause state jurisdictions to abandon initiatives or proposals to legalize medical and/or adult-use cannabis, thereby limiting the number of new state jurisdictions into which we could expand and perception of negative health effects from the use of vaporizers to consume cannabis could result in state and local prohibitions on the sale of vaping products for an indefinite period of time. Any inability to fully implement our expansion strategy may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or prospects. Among other things, such a shift could also cause states that have already legalized medical and/or adult-use cannabis to reevaluate the extent of, and introduce new restrictions on, the permitted activities and permitted cannabis products within their jurisdictions, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or prospects. Recent medical alerts by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) and state health agencies on vaping related illness and other issues directly related to cannabis consumption could potentially create an inability to fully implement our expansion strategy or could restrict the products which we sell at our existing operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or prospects.

 

Adverse legal, regulatory or political changes could have a material adverse effect on our current and planned operations.

 

The success of our business strategy depends on the legality of the cannabis industry. The political environment surrounding the cannabis industry in general can be volatile and the regulatory framework remains in flux. Currently, in the United States, 37 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have legalized medical cannabis, and 18 states, in addition to the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam, have legalized cannabis for recreational purposes or “adult-use”, including the states in which MedMen operates; however, the risk remains that a shift in the regulatory or political realm could occur and have a drastic impact on the industry as a whole, adversely impacting our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

 

Delays in enactment of new state or federal regulations could restrict our ability to reach strategic growth targets and lower return on investor capital. Our strategic growth strategy is reliant upon certain federal and state regulations being enacted to facilitate the legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis. If such regulations are not enacted, or enacted but subsequently repealed or amended, or enacted with prolonged phase-in periods, our growth targets, and thus, the effect on the return of investor capital, could be detrimental. We are unable to predict with certainty when and how the outcome of these complex regulatory and legislative proceedings will affect its business and growth.

 

Further, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. If the federal government begins to enforce federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing applicable state laws are repealed or curtailed, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected. It is also important to note that local and city ordinances may strictly limit and/or restrict the sale of cannabis in a manner that will make it extremely difficult or impossible to transact business that is necessary for the continued operation of the cannabis industry. Federal actions against individuals or entities engaged in the cannabis industry or a repeal of applicable cannabis related legislation could adversely affect us and our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

 

We are aware that multiple states are considering special taxes or fees on businesses in the cannabis industry. It is a potential yet unknown risk at this time that other states are in the process of reviewing such additional fees and taxation. This could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. Currently, we have a large outstanding tax liability. For further information, see Note 24, “Provision For Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Offering Circular.

The commercial medical and adult-use cannabis industry is in its infancy and we anticipate that such regulations will be subject to change as the jurisdictions in which we conduct business matures. We have in place a detailed compliance program headed by our SVP of Legal who oversees, maintains, and implements the compliance program and personnel. In addition to our robust legal and compliance departments, we also have local regulatory/compliance counsel engaged in every jurisdiction (state and local) in which we operate. Such counsel regularly provides legal advice regarding compliance with state and local laws and regulation and our legal and compliance exposures under United States federal law. Our compliance program emphasizes security and inventory control to ensure strict monitoring of cannabis and inventory from delivery by a licensed distributor to sale or disposal. Additionally, we have created comprehensive standard operating procedures that include detailed descriptions and instructions for receiving shipments of inventory, inventory tracking, recordkeeping and record retention practices related to inventory, as well as procedures for performing inventory reconciliation and ensuring the accuracy of inventory tracking and recordkeeping. We will continue to monitor compliance on an ongoing basis in accordance with its compliance program, standard operating procedures, and any changes to regulation in the cannabis industry.

 

Overall, the medical and adult-use cannabis industry is subject to significant regulatory change at the local, state and federal levels. Our inability to respond to the changing regulatory landscape may cause us to not be successful in capturing significant market share and could otherwise harm our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

 

We are subject to risk of civil asset forfeiture.

 

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property were never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

 

In the event that any of our operations in the United States were found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime.

 

We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations domestically and in the United States that involve money laundering, financial recordkeeping and proceeds of crime, including the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), Sections 1956 and 1957 of U.S.C. Title 18 (the Money Laundering Control Act), the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada), as amended and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Criminal Code (Canada) and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by governmental authorities in the United States and Canada.

 

Banks often refuse to provide banking services to businesses involved in the cannabis industry due to the present state of the laws and regulations governing financial institutions in the United States. The lack of banking and financial services presents unique and significant challenges to businesses in the marijuana industry. The potential lack of a secure place in which to deposit and store cash, the inability to pay creditors through the issuance of checks and the inability to secure traditional forms of operational financing, such as lines of credit, are some of the many challenges presented by the unavailability of traditional banking and financial services.

 

In February 2014, the Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) issued a memo (the “FinCEN Memo”) providing instructions to banks seeking to provide services to cannabis-related businesses. The FinCEN Memo states that in some circumstances, it is permissible for banks to provide services to cannabis-related businesses without risking prosecution for violation of federal money laundering laws. It refers to supplementary guidance that former Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole issued to federal prosecutors relating to the prosecution of money laundering offenses predicated on cannabis-related violations of the CSA. While the FinCEN Memo has not been rescinded by the Department of Justice at this time, it remains unclear whether the current administration will follow its guidelines. Overall, the Department of Justice continues to have the right and power to prosecute crimes committed by banks and financial institutions, such as money laundering and violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, that occur in any state, including in states that have legalized the applicable conduct and the Department of Justice’s current enforcement priorities could change for any number of reasons, including a change in the opinions of the President of the United States or the United States Attorney General. A change in the Department of Justice’s enforcement priorities could result in the Department of Justice prosecuting banks and financial institutions for crimes that previously were not prosecuted.

 

In the event that any of our operations, or any proceeds thereof, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenues accruing from such operations in the United States were found to be in violation of money laundering legislation or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under one or more of the statutes noted above or any other applicable legislation. This could restrict or otherwise jeopardize our ability to declare or pay dividends or effect other distributions. Furthermore, while there are no current intentions to declare or pay dividends on the Subordinate Voting Shares in the foreseeable future, in the event that a determination was made that our proceeds from operations (or any future operations or investments in the United States) could reasonably be shown to constitute proceeds of crime, we may decide or be required to suspend declaring or paying dividends without advance notice and for an indefinite period of time.

There remains doubt and uncertainty that we will be able to legally enforce contracts we enter into.

 

It is a fundamental principle of law that a contract will not be enforced if it involves a violation of law or public policy. Because cannabis remains illegal at a federal level, judges in multiple U.S. states have on a number of occasions refused to enforce contracts, including for the repayment of money when the loan was used in connection with activities that violate federal law, even if there is no violation of state law. There remains doubt and uncertainty that we will be able to legally enforce contracts we enter into, if necessary. We cannot be assured that we will have a remedy for breach of contract, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

 

Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions against us, and civil or criminal fines or penalties.

 

Our operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors (or the equivalent thereof) and employees. We cannot provide any assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect our operations.

 

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future, be required in connection with our operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, we may be curtailed or prohibited from our current or proposed production, manufacturing or sale of cannabis or cannabis products or from proceeding with the development of its operations as currently proposed.

 

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions against us, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. We may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

 

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the production, manufacturing or sale of cannabis or cannabis products, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on our business and cause increases in expenses, capital expenditures or production or manufacturing costs or reduction in levels of production, manufacturing or sale or require abandonment or delays in development.

 

Since Section 280E of the Code, as amended, prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking controlled substances, the Company will be precluded from claiming certain deductions otherwise available to non-marijuana businesses and, as a result, an otherwise profitable business may in fact operate at a loss after taking into account its income tax expenses.

 

Section 280E of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the CSA). The United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has invoked Section 280E in tax audits against various cannabis businesses in the U.S. that are licensed under applicable state laws. Although the IRS issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of such items is interpreted very narrowly, and the bulk of operating costs and general administrative costs are not permitted to be deducted. While there are currently several pending cases before various administrative and federal courts challenging these restrictions, there is no guarantee that these courts will issue an interpretation of Section 280E favorable to cannabis businesses.

 

Overall, under Section 280E of the Code, normal business expenses incurred in the business of selling marijuana and its derivatives are not deductible in calculating income tax liability. Therefore, we will be precluded from claiming certain deductions otherwise available to non-marijuana businesses and, as a result, an otherwise profitable business may in fact operate at a loss after taking into account its income tax expenses. There is no certainty that the impact that Section 280E has on our margins will ever be reduced.

If we were to experience a bankruptcy, there is no guarantee that U.S. federal bankruptcy protections would be available to our United States operations, which would materially adversely affect our prospects and on the rights of our lenders and securityholders.

 

Because the use of cannabis is illegal under federal law, many courts have denied cannabis businesses bankruptcy protections, thus making it very difficult for lenders to recoup their investments in the cannabis industry in the event of a bankruptcy. If we were to experience a bankruptcy, there is no guarantee that U.S. federal bankruptcy protections would be available to our United States operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, capital, financial condition and prospects and on the rights of our lenders and securityholders.

 

Our emerging growth company status allows us certain exemptions from various reporting requirements.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies.

 

For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of certain other exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our Subordinate Voting Shares less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Subordinate Voting Shares less attractive as a result, then there may be a less active trading market for our Subordinate Voting Shares and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of the common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), expected to be December 31, 2024; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

 

RISKS RELATED TO MACRO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue to have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted commercial and economic activity and contributed to significant volatility in the equity and debt markets in the U.S. The impact of the outbreak continues to develop and many jurisdictions, including the State of California and local municipalities, have instituted quarantines, prohibitions on travel and the closure of offices, businesses, schools, retail stores and other public venues. Individual businesses and industries are also implementing similar precautionary measures. Those measures, as well as the general uncertainty surrounding the dangers and effects of COVID-19, have created significant disruption in supply chains and economic activity. New strains of the virus have been identified originating in the U.S. and elsewhere. These new strains may have different transmission, morbidity and mortality rates than the original virus, and the COVID-19 vaccines developed to date may not be effective to provide immunization against new strains of the virus. While the Company has continuously sought to assess the potential impact of the pandemic on its financial condition and operating results, any assessment is subject to extreme uncertainty as to probability, severity and duration. The continued spread of the virus globally could result in a protracted world-wide economic downturn, the effects of which could last for some period after the pandemic is controlled and/or abated and our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. The impact of COVID-19 could have the effect of heightening many of the other risk factors described herein.

 

Despite being deemed as an essential retailer in its core markets, the Company experienced a negative impact on sales in certain markets as a result of shelter-at-home orders, social distancing efforts, restrictions on the maximum allowable number of people within a retail establishment, and declining tourism. Revenue for the year ended June 26, 2021 decreased 7% compared to revenue for the year ended June 27, 2020 primarily as a result of these factors. The overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the Company’s operations for the majority of the current fiscal year compared to the latter four months of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced decreased sales in certain locations within California due to reduced foot traffic as a result of business and occupancy restrictions and a slowdown in tourism, resulting in retail revenue in California for the year ended June 26, 2021 to decrease $21.6 million compared to the year ended June 27, 2020.

 

10

 

The Company has implemented certain safety measures to ensure the safety of its customers and associates, which may have the effect of discouraging shopping or limiting the occupancy of our stores. For the majority of the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, the Company maintained modified store operations based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and local ordinances which limit in-store traffic for certain locations and consequently increased focus on direct-to-consumer delivery, including curbside pickup. These measures, and any additional measures that have been and may continue to be taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, have substantially decreased, and may continue to decrease, the number of customers that visit our stores which has had, and will likely continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to increase economic uncertainty and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase the cost of and accessibility to capital. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant economic slowdown, it appears increasingly likely that it could cause a global recession, which could be of an unknown duration. A global recession would have a significant impact on our ongoing operations and cash flows. There has been a recent spike in the number of reported COVID-19 cases, including new variant and strains, in many states where a substantial portion of the Company’s business and operations are located. The Company is unable to currently quantify the economic effect, if any, of this increase on the Company’s results of operations.

 

The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the extent of its overall impact on our financial and operational results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time; however, the Company has experienced declines in sales. The overall impact will depend on the length of time that the pandemic continues, the extent to which it affects our ability to raise capital, and the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic, as well as uncertainty regarding all of the foregoing.

 

Our operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted by a material downturn in global financial conditions.

 

Global financial conditions have historically experienced extreme volatility. Economic shocks may be precipitated by a number of causes, including a rise in the price of oil, geopolitical instability and natural disasters. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could impact our ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favorable to us. Additionally, any such occurrence could cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. Further, in such an event, our operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

 

Furthermore, general market, political and economic conditions, including, for example, inflation, interest and currency exchange rates, structural changes in the cannabis industry, supply and demand for commodities, political developments, legislative or regulatory changes, social or labor unrest and stock market trends will affect our operating environment and its operating costs and profit margins and the price of its securities. Any negative events in the global economy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

 

RISKS RELATED TO FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS MATTERS

 

Our historical audited financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis.

 

Although not applicable to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020 were prepared on a going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Generally, our primary sources of capital resources are comprised of cash and cash equivalents and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We continuously monitor our capital structure and, based on changes in operations and economic conditions, may adjust the structure by issuing new shares or new debt as necessary. Our ability to continue to implement our business strategy is dependent on obtaining additional financing, the ability to successfully settle liabilities and achieving and maintaining profitable operations. While we have been successful in securing both equity and debt financing from the public and private capital markets to date as applicable in Canada, the United States and internationally, there are no guarantees that we will be able to continue to secure any such public or private equity or debt financing in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or be able to achieve profitability. This could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

 

As a high growth enterprise, we do not have a history of profitability. As such, we have immediate prospect of generating profit from our intended operations. We are therefore subject to many of the risks common to high growth enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial, and other resources and lack of earnings. In addition, we are currently incurring expenditures related to our operating activities that have generated negative operating cash flows. We cannot provide any assurance that we will generate sufficient revenues in the near future, and we may continue to incur negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. We cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders’ investment.

 

11

 

We will require additional financing to achieve our business objectives.

 

The continued development of our business will require additional financing. There is no guarantee that we will be able to achieve our business objectives. We intend to fund our business objectives by way of additional offerings of equity and/or debt financing. The failure to raise or procure such additional funds could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of our current business objectives. We cannot provide any assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are raised by offering equity securities or convertible debt, existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution. Any debt financing secured in the future could involve the granting of security against our assets and also contain restrictive covenants relating to capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We have completed the sale and leaseback of certain properties. The reduction in our real estate assets could cause securing any additional debt financing to be more difficult or on less favorable terms to us, such as on higher interest rates, than as otherwise may have been expected. We will require additional financing to fund our operations until positive cash flow is achieved. Although we believe that we will be able to obtain the necessary funding as in the past, there can be no assurance of the success of these plans.

 

Our existing credit facilities impose significant restrictive provisions on our current and planned operations.

 

We have significant outstanding indebtedness further to which our assets and assets of out subsidiaries as well as the ownership interests of certain of our subsidiaries, have been pledged as security for the obligations thereunder. In addition, the terms and conditions of our credit facilities contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in the Company’s long-term best interest. In addition, the terms and conditions thereof contain financial, operational and reporting covenants, and compliance with the covenants by us may increase our legal and financial costs, make certain activities, such as the payment of dividends or other distributions, more difficult or restricted, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources. Our failure to comply with any such covenants, which may be affected by events beyond our control, could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of repayment of our debt or realization on the security granted or trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions in any other agreements, including as between agreements pertaining to our existing credit facilities, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, capital, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

 

We have incurred substantial indebtedness and may not be able to refinance, extend or repay this indebtedness on a timely basis or at all.

 

We have a substantial amount of existing indebtedness. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital to repay these obligations at maturity and are otherwise unable to extend the maturity dates or refinance these obligations, we would be in default. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise the necessary amount of capital to repay these obligations, that any obligations that are convertible will be converted into equity or that we will be able to extend the maturity dates or otherwise refinance these obligations. Upon a default, the lenders under such debt would have the right to exercise their rights and remedies to collect, which would include the ability to foreclose on the our assets. Accordingly, a default by us would have a material adverse effect on our business, capital, financial condition and prospects, and we would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

 

We previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements of our financial statements. If we fail to remediate any material weaknesses or if we fail to establish and maintain effective control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

During the year ended June 27, 2020, our independent auditors identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to its assessment of goodwill and long-lived asset for impairment. Plus, in connection with the SEC’s review of our Form 10, we determined that we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the appropriate review of the presentation and disclosure of non-routine transactions, including impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and restructuring expenses. To address these material weaknesses, we have instituted a number of accounting processes and procedures, which includes (i) formal, documented process to identify, assess and calculate impairment on goodwill and long-lived assets, and (ii) the preparation of presentation and disclosure requirement checklists to be reviewed by management for all new transactions and accounting standards.

 

To remediate the material weakness related to the assessment of goodwill and long-lived asset for impairment, we implemented the new control procedures for the fiscal year beginning June 28, 2020. Management concluded that these controls were operating effectively as of June 26, 2021 and this internal control weakness was considered remediated. To remediate the material weakness related to the financial statement presentation of non-routine transactions, we implemented additional controls around the review of financial statement presentation and disclosure for such transactions, including the preparation and review of a quarterly disclosure checklist. Management concluded that these controls were operating effectively as of June 26, 2021 and this internal control weakness was considered remediated. The actions we have taken are subject to continued review, supported by confirmation and testing by management. While we have remediated these material weaknesses, we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future, which could impair our ability to accurately and timely report our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Furthermore, our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage our employee base. Our inability to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

 

The identification of additional material weaknesses in the future, could adversely affect our ability to report financial information, including our filing of quarterly or annual reports with the SEC on a timely and accurate basis. Moreover, the identification of additional material weaknesses could prohibit us from producing timely and accurate financial statements, which may adversely affect the market price of our shares and we may be unable to maintain compliance with exchange listing requirements.

 

MedMen is a holding company and essentially all of its assets are the capital stock of its material subsidiaries.

 

MedMen is a holding company and essentially all of its assets are the capital stock of its material subsidiaries. As a result, investors in MedMen are subject to the risks attributable to its subsidiaries. Consequently, our cash flows and ability to complete current or desirable future opportunities are dependent on the earnings of our subsidiaries. The ability of these entities to pay dividends and other distributions will depend on their operating results and will be subject to applicable laws and regulations which require that solvency and capital standards be maintained by such entities and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing their debt. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our material subsidiaries, holders of indebtedness and trade creditors may be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before MedMen.

 

Adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of marijuana in general, or associating the consumption of adult-use and medical marijuana with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

We believe the adult-use and medical marijuana industries are highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the marijuana produced. Consumer perception can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of marijuana products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention or other publicity will be favorable to the marijuana market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favorable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or other publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for adult- use or medical marijuana and on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or prospects. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of marijuana in general, or associating the consumption of adult-use and medical marijuana with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. There is no assurance that such adverse publicity reports, findings or other media attention will not arise.

We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that the marijuana product caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances.

 

As a manufacturer and distributor of products designed to be ingested by humans, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the manufacture and sale of marijuana involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of marijuana alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. As a manufacturer, distributor and retailer of adult-use and medical marijuana, or in our role as an investor in or service provider to an entity that is a manufacturer, distributor and/or retailer of adult-use or medical marijuana, we may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that the marijuana product caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with its clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. There can be no assurances that we will be able to maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to maintain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our potential products or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

 

If one of our brands were subject to product recalls, the image of that brand and MedMen could be harmed.

 

Cultivators, manufacturers, distributors and retailers of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. Such recalls cause unexpected expenses of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. This can cause loss of a significant amount of sales. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. There can be no assurance that any of our products that we sell will not be the subject of a product recall, regulatory action or lawsuit. Although we have detailed procedures in place for testing our products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if one of our brands were subject to recall, the image of that brand and MedMen could be harmed. Additionally, product recalls can lead to increased scrutiny of operations by applicable regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention and potential legal fees and other expenses.

 

We are subject to those risks inherent in an agricultural business.

 

Adult-use and medical marijuana are agricultural products. There are risks inherent in the agricultural business, such as insects, plant diseases and similar agricultural risks. Although the products are usually grown indoors under climate-controlled conditions, with conditions monitored, there can be no assurance that natural elements will not have a material adverse effect on the production of our products.

 

Adult-use and medical marijuana growing operations consume considerable energy, making us potentially vulnerable to rising energy costs. Rising or volatile energy costs may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

 

Our business is dependent on suppliers and skilled labor.

 

Our ability to compete and grow will be dependent on us having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in maintaining its required supply of skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. It is also possible that the final costs of the major equipment contemplated by our capital expenditure plans may be significantly greater than anticipated by our management, and may be greater than funds available to us, in which circumstance we may curtail, or extend the timeframes for completing, its capital expenditure plans. This could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

We face intense competition from other companies and increasing legalization of cannabis and rapid growth and consolidation in the cannabis industry may further intensify competition.

 

The cannabis industry is undergoing rapid growth and substantial change, and the legal landscape for medical and recreational cannabis is rapidly changing internationally. An increasing number of jurisdictions globally are passing legislation allowing for the production and distribution of medical and/or recreational cannabis in some form or another. Entry into the cannabis market by international competitors might lower the demand for our products.

 

The foregoing legalization and growth trends in the cannabis industry has resulted in an increase in competitors, consolidation and formation of strategic relationships. Such acquisitions or other consolidating transactions could harm us in a number of ways, including by losing strategic partners if they are acquired by or enter into relationships with a competitor, losing customers, revenue and market share, or forcing us to expend greater resources to meet new or additional competitive threats, all of which could harm our operating results. As competitors enter the market and become increasingly sophisticated, competition in the cannabis industry may intensify and place downward pressure on retail prices for products and services, which could negatively impact profitability.

 

We also face intense competition from other companies, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources and experience than us. We also expect to face additional competition from new entrants. To become and remain competitive, we will require research and development, marketing, sales and support. We may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing, sales and support efforts on a competitive basis which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Increased competition could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

 

In addition, the pharmaceutical industry may attempt to dominate the marijuana industry through the development and distribution of synthetic products which emulate the effects and treatment of organic marijuana. If they are successful, the widespread popularity of such synthetic products could change the demand, volume and profitability of the marijuana industry. This could adversely affect our ability to secure long-term profitability and success through the sustainable and profitable operation of our business. There may be unknown additional regulatory fees and taxes that may be assessed in the future.

 

We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity.

 

We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent unauthorized conduct that violates: (i) government regulations; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) federal and provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations; (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data; or (v) contractual arrangements, including confidentiality requirements. It may not always be possible for us to identify and deter misconduct by our employees and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with applicable laws or regulations or contractual requirements. If any such actions are instituted against us, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of our operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

 

Certain remedies may be limited.

 

Our governing documents may provide that the liability of our Board and its officers is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Thus, we and our shareholders may be prevented from recovering damages for alleged errors or omissions made by the members of our Board and its officers. Our governing documents may also provide that we will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify members of our Board and its officers for certain liabilities incurred by them by virtue of their acts on behalf of MedMen.

 

15

 

Future material acquisitions or dispositions or strategic transactions.

 

Material acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions involve a number of risks, including: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business, (ii) distraction of management, (iii) we may become more financially leveraged, (iv) the anticipated benefits and cost savings of those transactions may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected, (v) increasing the scope and complexity of our operations, and (vi) loss or reduction of control over certain of our assets. Additionally, we may issue additional equity interests in connection with such transactions, which would dilute a shareholder’s holdings in the Company.

 

Risks associated with pending transactions.

 

Our pending transactions, such as the investment agreement regarding MedMen NY, are subject to certain conditions, many of which are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that they will be completed, on a timely basis or at all. As a consequence, there is a risk that one or more of the proposed transactions will not close in a timely fashion or at all. If one or more of the proposed transactions is not completed for any reason, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed such transactions, we will be subject to a number of risks, including, without limitation, (i) we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on our stock price, (ii) in the case of a proposed acquisition, we may need to find an alternative use for any capital earmarked for such proposed acquisitions, (iii) in the case of a proposed disposition, we will not receive the anticipated proceeds of such disposition and accordingly may not be able to execute on other business opportunities for which such proceeds have been earmarked, and (iv) matters relating to proposed transactions will require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to the Company.

 

Risks associated with failure to manage growth effectively.

 

Our growth has placed and may continue to place significant demands on management and their operational and financial infrastructures. As our operations grow in size, scope and complexity and as new opportunities are identified and pursued, we may need to increase in scale our infrastructure (financial, management, informational, personnel and otherwise). In addition, we will need to effectively execute on business opportunities and continue to build on and deploy its corporate development and marketing assets as well as access sufficient new capital, as may be required. Our ability to successfully execute our growth strategy may redirect our limited resources and require expansion of its infrastructure. This will require the commitment of financial, operational and technical resources in advance of an increase in the volume of business, with no assurance that the volume of business will increase.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to respond adequately or quickly enough to the changing demands that its proposed growth plans will impose on management, team members and existing infrastructure, and changes to our operating structure may result in increased costs or inefficiencies that cannot be anticipated. Changes as we grow may have a negative impact on our operations, and cost increases resulting from the inability to effectively manage its growth could adversely impact its profitability. In addition, continued growth could also strain the ability to maintain reliable service levels for its clients, develop and approve its operational, financial and management controls, enhance its reporting systems and procedures and recruit, train and retain highly-skilled personnel. Failure to effectively manage growth could result in difficulty or delays in servicing clients, declines in quality or client satisfaction, increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new products or applications or other operational difficulties, and any of these difficulties could adversely impact our business performance and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

 

We may have limited intellectual property protection.

 

We possess certain proprietary intellectual property, including but not limited to brands, trademarks, trade names, patents and proprietary processes. We rely on this intellectual property, know-how and other proprietary information, and require employees, consultants and suppliers to sign confidentiality agreements. However, these confidentiality agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for such breaches. Third parties may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information without infringing upon any proprietary technology. Third parties may otherwise gain access to our proprietary information and adopt it in a competitive manner. Any loss of intellectual property protection may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or prospects.

 

As long as cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law as a Schedule I controlled substance pursuant to the CSA, the benefit of certain federal laws and protections which may be available to most businesses, such as federal trademark and patent protection regarding the intellectual property of a business, may not be available to MedMen. As a result, our intellectual property may never be adequately or sufficiently protected against the use or misappropriation by third parties. In addition, since the regulatory framework of the cannabis industry is in a constant state of flux, we cannot provide assurance that we will ever obtain any protection of our intellectual property, whether on a federal, provincial, state or local level. While many states do offer the ability to protect trademarks independent of the federal government, patent protection is wholly unavailable on a state level, and state-registered trademarks provide a lower degree of protection than would federally-registered marks.

 

Any failure of our information systems or the effect of any cyber-attacks may adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.

 

Our operations depend, in part, on how well we and our suppliers protect networks, equipment, information technology (“IT”) systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism and theft. Our operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.

 

We have not experienced any material losses to date relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, but there can be no assurance that we will not incur such losses in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access is a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

 

In addition, we collect and store personal information about our customers and are responsible for protecting that information from privacy breaches. A privacy breach may occur through procedural or process failure, information technology malfunction, or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. Theft of data for competitive purposes, particularly customer lists and preferences, is an ongoing risk whether perpetrated via employee collusion or negligence or through deliberate cyber-attack. Any such theft or privacy breach would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

ADDITIONAL RISKS RELATED TO LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

 

We have been and may in the future be subject to investigations, civil claims, lawsuits and other proceedings.

 

We may be subject to investigations (regulatory or otherwise), civil claims, lawsuits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, across the various aspects of our business, including securities, employment, regulatory, intellectual property, commercial, real estate and other matters. The results of any legal proceedings to the which we are or may become subject cannot be predicted with certainty due to the uncertainty inherent in regulatory actions and litigation, the difficulty of predicting decisions of regulators, judges and juries and the possibility that decisions may be reversed on appeal. Defense and settlement costs of legal disputes can be substantial, even with claims that have no merit. There can be no assurance that any pending or future litigation, regulatory, agency or civil proceedings, investigations and audits will not result in substantial costs or a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

 

The cannabis industry is a new industry, and we are a fast growing and relatively new enterprise. It is therefore more difficult to predict the types of claims, proceedings and allegations and the quantum of costs related to such claims and proceedings and the direct and indirect effects of such allegations that we may face or experience. Management is committed to conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner, which we believe will reduce the risk of legal disputes and allegations. However, if we are subject to legal disputes or negative allegations, there can be no assurances that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, capital, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. Should any litigation, proceeding or audit in which we become involved be determined against us, such a decision could adversely affect our business, financial condition, capital, results of operations, cash flows or prospects and the market price for the Subordinate Voting Shares and other listed securities of the Company. Any such litigation, proceeding or audit may also create a negative perception of our brand.

 

United States Tax Classification of the Company.

 

The Company, which is and will continue to be a Canadian corporation as of the date of this Offering Circular, would be classified as a non-United States corporation under general rules of United States federal income taxation. Section 7874 of the Code, however, contains rules that can cause a non-United States corporation to be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

 

We intend to be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes under section 7874 of the Code and expect to be subject to United States federal income tax on our worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, we will be treated as a Canadian corporation (as defined in the Tax Act) for Canadian income tax purposes regardless of any application of section 7874 of the Code. As a result, we can be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY

 

Heightened scrutiny by securities regulatory authorities in the United States and Canada may impact investors’ ability to transact in the Company’s securities.

 

The Company’s operations in the United States cannabis market may become the subject of heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges, clearing agencies and other authorities in Canada. It has been reported by certain publications in Canada that the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited is considering a policy shift that would see its subsidiary, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”), refuse to settle trades for cannabis issuers that have investments in the United States. CDS is Canada’s central securities depository, clearing and settlement hub settling trades in the Canadian equity, fixed income and money markets. CDS or its parent company has not issued any public statement with regard to these reports. On February 8, 2018, following discussions with the Canadian Securities Administrators and recognized Canadian securities exchanges, CDS signed the CDS Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with The Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., the CSE, the Toronto Stock Exchange, and the TSX Venture Exchange. The MOU outlines the parties’ understanding of Canada’s regulatory framework applicable to the rules and procedures and regulatory oversight of the exchanges and CDS as it relates to issuers with cannabis-related activities in the United States. The MOU confirms, with respect to the clearing of listed securities, that CDS relies on the exchanges to review the conduct of listed issuers. As a result, there currently is no CDS ban on the clearing of securities of issuers with cannabis -related activities in the United States. However, if CDS were to proceed in the manner suggested by these publications, and apply such a ban on the clearing of securities of the Company, it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company’s shareholders to effect trades of shares through the facilities of a stock exchange in Canada, as a result of which such shares could become highly illiquid.

 

The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) is the primary depository for securities in the United States. Several major U.S. securities clearing companies that provide clearance, custody and settlement services in the United States terminated providing clearance services to issuers in the cannabis industry, including those that operate entirely outside the United States, in response to the Sessions Memo. As a result of these decisions, U.S. securityholders may experience difficulties depositing securities of cannabis companies in the DTC system or reselling their securities in open market transactions, including transactions facilitated through the CSE. Many larger U.S. broker-dealers own U.S. securities companies that self-clear transactions. However, some U.S. brokerages have adopted policies precluding their clients from trading securities of cannabis issuers.

 

Potential voting control and representation on the Company’s Board of Directors by significant shareholders may limit your ability to influence the outcome of director elections and other matters requiring shareholder approval.

 

On August 17, 2021, in connection with the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Fourth Restatement”), Superhero Acquisition, L.P. (“Superhero LP”), acquired from certain funds associated with Gotham Green Partners, LLC (“GGP”) an aggregate principal amount of approximately $165.8 million of the convertible notes and 135,266,664 warrants issued under the Convertible Facility. The general partner of Superhero LP is Superhero Acquisition Corp (“Superhero GP”). Tilray, Inc., a public company with Class 2 common stock listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, owns approximately two-thirds of the outstanding equity interests in Superhero GP and MOS Holdings Inc. (“MOS”), which is solely owned by Michael Serruya, holds approximately one-third of the outstanding equity interests in Superhero GP. Accordingly, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Tilray and MOS may be deemed the beneficial owners with respect to the securities held of record by Superhero LP and have shared voting and investment power with respect to such securities. As a result of the transfer of the notes and warrants from GGP to Superhero LP, Superhero LP, Superhero GP, Tilray and MOS, as of October 4, 2021, each beneficially owns approximately 44% of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares and GGP beneficially owns for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act approximately 19% of the Subordinated Voting Shares, in each case assuming conversion of their respective notes and warrants. Tilray also owns an 68% interest as a limited partner in Superhero LP and S5 Holdings Inc. (“S5 Holdings”), which is owned by Michael Serruya, has an 8% interest as a limited partner in Superhero LP. Together with additional securities held directly by S5 Holdings, Michael Serruya beneficially owns approximately 44.7% of the Subordinated Voting Shares. For further information about beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities, refer to “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

 

19

 

In connection with Fourth Restatement, the Company also entered into a Board Nomination Rights Agreement with S5 Holdings pursuant to which so long as S5 Holdings’ diluted ownership percentage of MedMen (including the proportionate equity ownership of securities held by Superhero LP) is at least 9%, S5 Holdings will be entitled to designate one individual to be nominated to serve as a director of the Company. S5 Holdings has initially designated Michael Serruya. The Company also entered into a Board Nomination Rights Agreement with GGP pursuant to which so long as GGP and certain associated investors’ diluted ownership percentage of MedMen is at least 9%, GGP will be entitled to designate one individual to be nominated to serve as a director of the Company. GGP has not yet designated a director. The Company also granted Tilray the right to appoint two non-voting observers to the Company’s board of directors.

 

This concentration of control, to the extent outstanding notes and warrants are converted and exercised, may adversely affect the trading price for the Subordinate Voting Shares because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with potential controlling stockholders. Also, some or all of our significant stockholders, if they were to convert their notes and exercise their warrants and act together, would be able to control our management and affairs and matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of our assets. In addition, the interests of these shareholders may not align with our interests as a company or the interests of our other shareholders. Accordingly, if these shareholders were to convert their notes and exercise the warrants, and subject to approval by the Board and requirements, if any, to obtain approval of a majority of the minority shareholders, they could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements of which our shareholders would not approve or make decisions with which our shareholders would disagree. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, including a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, even if that change of control would benefit our other shareholders and may prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the current market price for their shares. Furthermore, our significant shareholders may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote their Subordinate Voting Shares in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests.

 

Our capital structure may cause unpredictability.

 

Given the other unique features of our capital structure, including the existence of a significant amount of redeemable equity securities that have been issued by, and are issuable pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of the applicable convertible securities of, certain subsidiaries of MedMen, such subsidiaries being MedMen Corp. and the LLC, which equity securities are redeemable from time to time for Subordinate Voting Shares or cash, in accordance with their terms, we are not able to predict whether this structure and control will result in a lower trading price for or greater fluctuations in the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares or will result in adverse publicity to MedMen or other adverse consequences.

 

Future sales of Subordinate Voting Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

We may issue additional securities in the future, which may dilute our shareholder’s holdings in MedMen. Our articles permit the issuance of an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares, and our shareholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuance. The MedMen Board has discretion to determine the price and the terms of further issuances. Moreover, additional Subordinate Voting Shares will be issued by MedMen on the exercise, conversion or redemption of certain outstanding securities of MedMen, MedMen Corp. and the LLC in accordance with their terms. While we currently do not have any pending acquisitions, we may also issue Subordinate Voting Shares to finance future acquisitions. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of Subordinate Voting Shares or the effect that future issuances and sales of Subordinate Voting Shares will have on the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional Subordinate Voting Shares, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Subordinate Voting Shares. With any additional issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and we may experience dilution in our revenue per share.

 

Additionally, the subsidiaries of MedMen, such as MedMen Corp. and the LLC, may issue additional securities that may be redeemed into Subordinate Voting Shares of MedMen, including MedMen Corp Redeemable Shares, LLC Redeemable Units and LTIP Units to new or existing shareholders, members or securityholders, including in exchange for services performed or to be performed on behalf of such entities or to finance future acquisitions. Any such issuances could result in substantial dilution to the indirect equity interest of the holders of our Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

20

 

The market price of our Subordinate Voting Shares is volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.

 

The market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares has been or may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. This volatility may affect the ability of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares or such other securities to sell their securities at an advantageous price. Market price fluctuations in the Subordinate Voting Shares or such other securities may be due to our operating results failing to meet expectations of securities analysts or investors in any period, downward revision in securities analysts’ estimates, adverse changes in general market conditions or competitive, regulatory or economic trends, adverse changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which we operate, acquisitions, dispositions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments or other material public announcements by us or our competitors or government and regulatory authorities, operating and share price performance of the companies that investors deem comparable to us, addition or departure of our executive officers, directors and other key personnel, along with a variety of additional factors. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares or such other securities.

 

Financial markets have at times historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity and convertible securities of companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares and other listed securities of MedMen from time to time may decline even if our operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue or arise, our operations may be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares and such other securities may be materially adversely affected.

DILUTION

 

The term 'dilution' refers to the reduction (as a percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Voting Shares outstanding) that occurs for any given share of stock when additional Subordinate Voting Shares are issued. If all of the Shares in this Offering are fully subscribed and sold, the Shares offered herein will constitute approximately 10% of the total Subordinate Voting Shares of stock of the Company. The Company anticipates that subsequent to this Offering the Company may require additional capital and such capital may take the form of Subordinate Voting Shares, other shares or securities or debt convertible into stock. Such future fund raising will further dilute the percentage ownership of the Shares sold herein in the Company.

 

If you purchase Shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Class B Subordinate Voting Shares will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to investors charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Class B Subordinate Voting Shares after this Offering.

 

Our net tangible book value as of December 25, 2021 was $(359,807) or $(0.2998) per share based on 1,200,227,625 outstanding shares of Class B Subordinating Voting Shares as of February 28, 2022. Net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Class B Subordinating Voting Shares, all as of the date specified.

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the shares offered for sale at $0.15 in this offering (after deducting estimated offering expenses of $50,000):

  

Percentage of shares offered that are sold  100%   75%   50%   25% 
Funding Level  $20,000,000   $15,000,000   $10,000,000   $5,000,000 
Price to the public charged for each share in this offering  $0.15   $0.15   $0.15   $0.15 
Historical net tangible book value per share as of June 26, 2021 (1)  $(0.2998)  $(0.2998)  $(0.2998)  $(0.2998)
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors in this offering (2)  $0.5546   $0.5650   $0.5759   $0.5875 
Net tangible book value per share, after this offering  $(0.2548)  $(0.2652)  $(0.2762)  $(0.2877)
Dilution per share to new investors  $0.4048   $0.4152   $0.4262   $0.4377

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

This Offering Circular is part of an Offering Statement that we filed with the SEC, using a continuous offering process. Periodically, as we have material developments, we will provide an Offering Circular supplement that may add, update or change information contained in this Offering Circular.

You should read this Offering Circular and the related exhibits filed with the SEC and any Offering Circular supplement, together with additional information contained in our annual reports, semi-annual reports and other reports and information statements that we will file periodically with the SEC.

 

The Shares are being sold through our officers and employees. We believe that our officers and employees are exempt from registration as broker-dealers under the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Such persons:

 

are not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Securities Act; and

 

are not to be compensated in connection with their participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;

We may also engage broker-dealers or selling agents to sell the Shares. We have not yet engaged anyone else to sell Shares in this offering.

 

This is an offering of Subordinate Voting Shares issued by the Company. None of our officers, directors, or affiliates is selling any securities in this offering. There is no minimum number of Shares that we must sell in order to conduct a closing in this offering.

 

If we do engage a broker-dealer or selling agent, we will arrange for the sale of securities to investors on a “best efforts” basis, meaning that they need only use their best efforts to sell the securities. Any third party we engage may sell some of the Offering Shares through selected dealers.

 

The offering price of the Shares was determined by us. This determination was done without reference to our book value or asset values or by the application of any customary, established models for valuing companies or securities. Accordingly, the offering price may not be indicative of any amounts you might receive should you seek to sell your shares or should there be a liquidation of our company. In addition, such prices are not necessarily indicative of any prices at which our securities may trade, or any value that might be ascribed to our company after the completion of the offering. See “Dilution” on page 22.

 

Our officers and directors shall be entitled to purchase Shares in the offering. Any such purchases shall be conducted in compliance with the applicable provisions of Regulation M.

We will consider various factors in determining the timing of any additional closings following the initial closing, including the amount of proceeds received at the initial closing and any prior additional closings.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

General

 

MedMen is a cannabis retailer based in the U.S. with flagship locations in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Chicago. MedMen offers a robust selection of high-quality products, including MedMen-owned brands, LuxLyte, and MedMen Red through its premium retail stores, proprietary delivery service, as well as curbside and in-store pick up.

 

As of September 15, 2021, the Company operates 23 store locations across California (12), Florida (6), Nevada (3), Illinois (1), and Arizona (1). The Company’s retail stores are located in strategic locations across key cities and neighborhoods in each of its markets. The Company has plans to open additional retail stores over the next 12 months, including, but not limited to the following cities:

 

  San Francisco, CA

 

  Morton Grove, IL

 

  Boston, MA

 

  Newton, MA

 

  Miami - South Beach, FL

 

  Jacksonville, FL

 

  Deerfield Beach, FL

 

  Tampa, FL

 

  Sarasota, FL

 

 

Tallahassee, FL

 

The Company expects to continue strengthening its pipeline of stores through acquisitions, partnerships and applications for new licenses, with a focus on recreational states such as California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Massachusetts and medical states such as Florida.

 

In addition to expanding its physical store network in markets across the U.S., the Company plans to continue scaling its digital platform. The Company launched statewide same-day delivery in California in August 2019 and launched delivery in Nevada in September 2019. See “Retail Operations - In-Store Pickup and Delivery” for further information about the Company’s delivery operations.

 

The Company launched MedMen Buds, the Company’s loyalty program in July 2019. The program currently is offered in all of the Company’s stores in Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and California and has more than 500,000 members. See “Retail Operations - Loyalty Program” for further information about the Company’s loyalty program.

 

MedMen currently operates five cultivation and production facilities across Nevada, California, New York, Florida and Arizona. In California and Nevada, the Company is in discussions for the potential sublease of its cultivation and production facilities so that the Company can focus on its retail operations. The Company has not entered into any definitive agreements at this time. The Company currently intends to sub-lease the California and Nevada facilities to a third party that would acquire and/or take over the operations for the cultivation and production facilities. As a result, the Company would no longer operate cultivation and production facilities in California and Nevada.

 

In New York and Florida, the cultivation and production facilities are or will be focused primarily on the commercialization of cannabis (both medical and recreational, as permitted under applicable laws) and, in select locations, the research and development of new strains of cannabis and cultivation techniques. The procedures at each facility place an emphasis on customer and patient safety, with a strict quality control process. See “Description of the Business - Cultivation and Production Operations” for further information about the Company’s cultivation and production operations.

 

27

 

The Company currently holds licenses within California, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Pursuant to an investment agreement entered into in February 2021, the Company is currently in the process of transferring the licenses its holds within New York, which are subject to regulatory approval. The Company views Nevada, California, Illinois, Florida and Massachusetts as providing ongoing opportunities for growth due to their market depth, current supply-demand dynamics and regulatory framework.

 

In addition to owning its own cannabis licenses and operations, the Company also provides management services to third-party cannabis license-holders. The Company currently has management services contracts at two licensed retail dispensaries in California. See “Management Services” for further information about the Company’s management services.

 

The Company is operated by an executive team that has significant experience in the cannabis industry and other analogous industries such as retail, technology, consumer packaged goods, alcohol and apparel.

 

Market Opportunity

 

Management expects the legalization of cannabis throughout the United States to continue to expand both recreationally and medically. In the United States, 18 states, in addition to the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam, have legalized cannabis for recreational purposes or “adult-use”. These states are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. In these markets, recreational sales are expected to grow as cannabis retailers, as permitted by law, benefit from a shift in consumers from illegal sales to legal sales and from new cannabis consumers. MedMen plans on capitalizing on the projected increase in cannabis consumption in these recreational markets through both an expansion of its retail footprint in markets such as California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Massachusetts, as well an entry into other sizable recreational markets across the U.S.

 

With respect to medical marijuana, as more research centers study the effects of cannabis-based products in treating or addressing therapeutic needs, and assuming that research findings demonstrate that such products are effective in doing so, management believes that the size of the U.S. medical cannabis market will also continue to grow as more states expand their medical marijuana programs and new states legalize medical marijuana. In the United States, 37 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have legalized medical cannabis. Given MedMen’s experience in New York and Florida, we believe that MedMen is well-versed in operating within a medical-only market and will continue to seek opportunities to expand. These markets provide the Company a national platform to execute on its medical strategy, allowing the Company to serve both medical and recreational consumers.

 

Retail Operations

 

MedMen prides itself on providing a best in class, inclusive and informative environment where the customer can comfortably navigate its extensive selection of cannabis products with the assistance of highly trained employees.

 

MedMen operates its retail operations through a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries in California, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, and Illinois. MedMen currently operates 12 retail stores in California, one retail store in Arizona, three retail stores in Nevada, and one retail store in Illinois, all of which serve both recreational and medical marijuana patients, and six retail stores in Florida that serve medical marijuana patients. Of the Company’s 12 retail stores in California, the Company owns and operates 10 retail stores and manages the operations of two through long-term management services agreements. The Company previously intended to sell its assets in Arizona; however, following the passage and expeditious roll-out of adult-use sales in Arizona, the Company reclassified its Arizona operations from discontinued to continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

In February 2021, in connection with an investment agreement whereby Ascend Wellness Holdings, LLC will obtain a controlling interest in the Company’s New York subsidiary, MedMen NY, Inc. (“MMNY”), MMNY entered into a management agreement pursuant to which Ascend will advise on MMNY’s operations pending regulatory approval of the investment transaction. Accordingly, four retail locations within the state of New York have been classified as discontinued operations.

 

Expanding upon its omni-channel experience, the Company launched its same-day delivery platform in California in August 2019 and in September 2019, MedMen’s delivery service was launched in Nevada. Over time, the Company expects to expand its delivery service in each of its states, where permissible by the regulatory framework. Delivery service is available seven days a week, 365 days a year. Both MedMen Buds and MedMen Delivery cement the Company’s commitment to continuously evolving the consumer experience.

Real Estate Strategy

 

MedMen is focused on entering geographic markets which it believes has significant demand potential for cannabis (assessed through industry research, such as financial analyst reports covering the cannabis industry and consumer and retail information from data providers, and management estimates, such as top-down estimates that evaluate the total addressable market (factoring in potential penetration of cannabis consumption within a specific market) as well as using the Company’s own store performance in similar markets to evaluate potential revenue and profitability), and high barriers to entry, such as limited retail licenses, zoning restrictions and licensing requirements. MedMen’s real estate strategy is focused on prime locations with significant foot traffic and proximity to popular attractions (restaurants, malls, sports arenas, hotels, etc.). MedMen targets retail spaces with a footprint of 2,000 to 5,000 square feet, depending on the market and available real estate. MedMen utilizes both its internal real estate team and a network of real estate brokers to negotiate leases on behalf of the Company. MedMen typically prefers to secure long-term leases for its store locations instead of acquiring real estate. Where leasing of the applicable property is not possible, the Company will generally seek a financing partner to assign the purchase and sale agreement to prior to closing and after the Company has secured the license, and then enter into a leaseback transaction with that purchaser.

 

Branding and Marketing

 

MedMen utilizes consistent branding and messaging across its dispensaries under the “MedMen” name. In order to support its retail operations, MedMen has a dedicated marketing team that engages potential customers through in-store demos, social media and promotions, including the MedMen Buds loyalty program, which is described below.

 

MedMen continues to focus on growing market share and allocating capital to maximize shareholder value, which begins with providing a superior retail experience for its consumers. This includes building and supporting spaces where customers feel safe and educated, while discovering the benefits of cannabis.

 

The Company curates unique cannabis products and resources that reflect the interests of its customers.

 

MedMen works diligently to identify emerging cannabis trends and influencers within beauty, wellness, fashion, sports, and entertainment lifestyle verticals. As cannabis gains popularity across these categories, MedMen aims to become a leading lifestyle destination for the next-generation cannabis consumer.

 

In order to continue enhancing its customer experience, the Company launched MedMen Buds, a rewards program that encompasses over 500,000 individual participants and continues to grow daily, with members across California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada. MedMen understands that in the current retail landscape, building loyalty with core customers is a key driver of continued growth. The Company’s understanding of what its customers value, and how it can meet those needs is critical in deepening its connection with its core customers.

 

Creating a true omni-channel experience for customers has been a priority for the Company since its inception. In support of that endeavor, the Company successfully launched a fully-owned and operated delivery service in the California and Nevada markets. MedMen is held to the highest standard as it releases “first-to-market” goods and services to cannabis consumers, and as such, the Company takes great pride in the initial positive feedback towards its enhanced omni-channel offering.

 

Banking and Processing

 

MedMen deposits funds from its dispensary operations into its banking partners in each respective market. The banks are fully aware of the nature of MedMen’s business and continue to remain supportive of MedMen’s growth plans. MedMen’s dispensaries currently accept only cash and debit card and do not process credit card payments. The Company believes that, as regulations continue to evolve, over time most forms of payment will be accepted, however, it is unclear exactly when this may occur.

 

Product Selection and Offerings

 

Product selection decisions are currently made by MedMen’s team of buyers, which negotiates and receives bids from potential brand vendors across all product categories including flower, vape pens, oils, extracts, edibles and pre-rolls. MedMen bases its product selection decisions on product quality, margin potential, consumer feedback and the ability for the respective brands to scale.

 

29

 

MedMen currently sells its own branded products in California, Nevada, New York and Florida under MedMen RED and LuxLyte brands. MedMen manufactures its own products in New York and Florida, and expects to leverage contract manufacturers in California, Nevada and Illinois for its own branded products.

 

MedMen’s retail locations in California, Illinois, and Nevada make available a variety of MedMen and third party (resale) cannabis and cannabis products. Cannabis and cannabis products for sale include but are not limited to: cannabis dry flower, concentrated cannabis oil, vaporizer forms of cannabis, cannabis edible products and other cannabis products.

 

MedMen is approved in New York to produce tinctures, vaporizers, cartridges and gel capsules. MedMen currently produces five THC:CBD ratios for tinctures and gel capsules in Wellness (0:1), Harmony (1:1), Awake (20:1), Calm (50:1) and Sleep (100:1). MedMen produces 14 vaporizers in Awake (20:1), Calm (50:1), Harmony (1:1) and Sleep (100:1) THC:CBD ratios. It provides nine cartridges in the same ratios as its vaporizers, in addition to Gold (250:1). MedMen offers a total of 33 products at each of its retail locations in New York.

 

Product Pricing

 

MedMen’s prices vary based on the market conditions and product pricing of vendor partners. Generally, MedMen strives to keep pricing consistent across all store locations within a state. Cannabis product pricing is usually based on operating costs, materials costs, distribution costs, and quality and strength of ingredients.

 

The states of California, Nevada, Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts do not regulate pricing and licensed dispensing organizations within such states may set their own prices for cannabis and cannabis products. The state of New York does regulate pricing of all approved medical marijuana products.

 

Notwithstanding that most of the foregoing states do not regulate pricing of cannabis and cannabis products permitted to be sold in such states, many of them impose taxes on the sale of permitted products, as follows.

 

  Arizona – Subject to a 16% cannabis excise, a local cannabis excise tax which varies by city and/or county of up to 6.3% and sales tax.

 

  California – Subject to a 15% cannabis excise tax, a local cannabis excise tax which varies by city and/or county, and state sales tax of 7.25% with an additional local sales tax of up to 3%.

 

  Nevada – Subject to a 10% cannabis excise and 8.375% sales tax.

 

  New York – Medical cannabis is subject to a 7% cannabis excise payable by the cultivation facility, which is then included in the retail price of the products by the Company.

 

  Florida – Not currently subject to an excise or sales tax.

 

  Illinois – Medical cannabis is subject to state and local retailers’ occupation taxes at the same rate as other qualifying drugs, i.e., 1% State Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate and is generally exempt from locally imposed retailers’ occupation taxes (except for Regional Transportation Authority and Metro-East Transit District retailers’ occupation taxes). Recreational cannabis sales are subject to the following cannabis excise and sales tax structure:
     
  10% of taxable receipts from the sale of adult use cannabis, other than cannabis- infused products, sold with 35% THC or less;

 

  25% of taxable receipts from the sale of adult use cannabis, other than cannabis- infused products, sold with greater than 35% THC;

 

  20% of taxable receipts from the sale of adult use cannabis-infused products;

 

  6.25 % Retailer’s Occupation Tax (sales tax);

 

30

 

  Up to a 3% Municipal Cannabis Retailer’s Occupation Tax (sales tax);

 

  County Cannabis Retailer’s Occupation Tax:

 

  Up to 3.75% in unincorporated areas of the county; and

 

  Up to 3% in a municipality located in a county.

 

In-Store Pickup and Delivery

 

MedMen offers in-store pickup in most retail locations, accessible from MedMen’s website. Measures to enhance this offering and expand its availability into certain of the Company’s other operating states, where permitted under applicable laws and regulations, are underway.

 

The Company launched statewide same-day delivery in California in August 2019.

 

Loyalty Program

 

MedMen launched its loyalty program, MedMen Buds, in July 2019. In addition to providing exclusive access to sales and discounts, members of MedMen Buds earn points for every purchase that lead to rewards. MedMen Buds is currently live in all of the Company’s stores across California, Nevada, Florida and Arizona and counts over 500,000 members.

 

Inventory Management

 

MedMen has comprehensive inventory management procedures, which are compliant with applicable state and local laws, regulations, ordinances, and other requirements. These procedures ensure strict control over MedMen’s cannabis and cannabis product inventory from delivery by a licensed distributor to sale or delivery to a consumer, or disposal as cannabis waste. Such inventory management procedures also include measures to prevent contamination and maintain the safety and quality of the products dispensed at MedMen’s retail locations. MedMen understands its responsibility to the greater community and the environment and is committed to providing consumers with a consistent and high-quality supply of cannabis.

 

Managed Dispensaries

 

MedMen uses the same proprietary, best-practices policies and procedures in both owned and managed dispensaries in order to ensure systematic operations and consistent customer experience. By design, a customer or employee should notice no distinct differences between owned and managed stores. Additionally, MedMen enters into long-term management services agreements, as further described under “Management Services” below.

 

Cultivation and Production Operations

 

MedMen currently operates five cultivation and production facilities across Nevada, California, New York, Florida and Arizona. Given the regulatory environment and lack of robust wholesale market in Florida and New York, the Company expects to continue cultivation and production activities in that market. In California and Nevada, the Company is in discussions with partners who may operate its cultivation and production facilities so it can focus on retail operations. The Company may sub-lease the California and Nevada facilities to a third party that would acquire and/or take over the operations for the cultivation and production facilities. As a result, the Company would no longer operate cultivation and production facilities in California and Nevada. The Company also operates a cultivation and production facility in Arizona.

 

In New York and Florida, the cultivation and production facilities are or will be focused primarily on the commercialization of cannabis (both medical and recreational, as permitted under applicable laws) and, in select locations, the research and development of new strains of cannabis and cultivation techniques. The procedures at each facility place an emphasis on customer and patient safety, with a strict quality control process. In February 2021, the Company entered into an investment agreement with respect to its New York operations whereby a controlling interest will be acquired by a third party. Accordingly, the operations within the state of New York have been classified as discontinued operations but the Company will continue to advise on the New York operations pending regulatory approval of the investment transaction.

Nevada (Mustang)

 

MedMen operates a cultivation and production facility in northern Nevada. The combined facility is comprised of a 30,000 square foot cultivation facility and a 15,000 square foot production facility and sits on a total of 4.27 acres of land. The 30,000 square foot high-tech Dutch hybrid greenhouse allows for 22,000 square feet of canopy space. The production facility includes state-of-the-art production and extraction equipment.

 

California (Desert Hot Springs)

 

MedMen operates a cultivation and production facility in Desert Hot Springs, California. The combined facility is comprised of a 30,000 square foot cultivation facility and a 15,000 square foot production facility and its design is based on the Mustang facility.

 

New York (Utica)

 

MedMen operates a cultivation and production facility in Utica, New York in order to service medical marijuana patients in the state through its master license, which allows for cultivation, production and retail sales.

 

Florida (Eustis)

 

MedMen operates a cultivation and production facility in Eustis, Florida, which is approximately an hour’s drive north from Orlando.

 

Arizona (Mesa)

 

The Company operates a 20,000 square foot cultivation and production facility in Mesa, Arizona.

 

Management Services

 

In addition to owning its own retail licenses, MedMen has signed long-term management services contracts with third-party license owners seeking MedMen’s management services. Management services include the use of the “MedMen” brand, retail operations support, human resources, finance and accounting, marketing, sales, legal and compliance. MedMen currently has two management services agreements in place with license owners in California. The two managed dispensaries are located in Venice Beach (Abbot Kinney) and the Los Angeles Airport area.

 

The management services agreements are typically 30 years in length with 10-year renewals and significant penalties if an operator sells its interest in a managed licensed entity (20% of net sale price of licensee with respect to a change of control transaction). The management services agreements currently in place comprise of the following fees: (i) 1.5% of gross revenue for marketing and soft costs, (ii) $20,000 per month shared services fee, (iii) 25% of monthly EBITDA, (iv) 1.5% of construction budget for construction design services, and (v) 5% of construction budget for construction management services.

 

Employees

 

As of June 26, 2021, MedMen had approximately 875 employees across its operating jurisdictions, of which approximately 600 were full-time employees and approximately 125 of which were employed at the corporate level. The remaining employees are employed at retail, cultivation, production, quality assurance/quality control and supply chain/distribution.

 

MedMen is committed to:

 

  Providing equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants: These policies extend to all aspects of MedMen’s employment practices, including but not limited to, recruiting, hiring, discipline, termination, promotions, transfers, compensation, benefits, training, leaves of absence, and other terms and conditions of employment.

 

  Providing a work environment that is free of unlawful harassment, discrimination and retaliation: In furtherance of this commitment, MedMen strictly prohibits all forms of unlawful discrimination and harassment.

 

32

 

 

Complying with all laws protecting qualified individuals with disabilities, as well as employees’, independent contractors’ and vendors’ religious beliefs and observances.

 

MedMen is committed to all of the above without regards to race, ethnicity, religion, color, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, uniform service member and veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, age, protected medical condition, genetic information, disability, or any other protected status in accordance with all applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws.

 

MedMen’s employees are highly-talented individuals who have educational achievements ranging from Ph.D, Masters, and undergraduate degrees in a wide range of disciplines, as well as staff who have been trained on the job to uphold the highest standards as set by MedMen. It is a requirement that all of MedMen’s employees pass background checks and drug screening. MedMen recruits, hires and promotes individuals that are best qualified for each position, priding itself on using a selection process that recruits people who are trainable, cooperative and share its core values as a company.

 

In addition, the safety of MedMen’s employees is a priority and MedMen is committed to the prevention of illness and injury through the provision and maintenance of a healthy workplace. MedMen takes all reasonable steps to ensure staff is appropriately informed and trained to ensure the safety of themselves as well as others around them.

 

MedMen partners with the United Food and Commercial Workers (the “UFCW”). The UFCW is a national labor union that represents cannabis workers throughout the United States. The eligible staff of all current retail locations of MedMen in California is represented by the UFCW. MedMen entered into a collective bargaining agreement with UFCW Local 770 and its sister locals in Southern California in 2018 and has expanded that relationship to include UFCW Local 5 in Northern California. In New York, MedMen has entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a division of the UFCW, which represents MedMen’s cultivation and retail staff in New York state.

 

Competition

 

With respect to retail operations, MedMen expects to compete with other retail license holders across the states in which it operates, and additional states, as it expands its retail operations into those states either organically or by way of acquisition. Many of MedMen’s competitors in the markets in which MedMen operates in are small local operators. In certain markets such as Los Angeles, there are also a number of illegally operating dispensaries, which serve as competition. In addition to physical dispensaries, MedMen also competes with third-party delivery services, which provide direct-to-consumer delivery services.

 

Further, as more U.S. jurisdictions pass state legislation allowing recreational use of cannabis, the Company expects an increased level of competition in the U.S. market. For example, since January 1, 2018, the legalization of recreational cannabis in California has spurred an increase of new entrants. A number of companies listed on the CSE are expanding operations to states that have decriminalized cannabis consumption. The increasingly competitive U.S. state markets may adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company.

 

Intellectual Property

 

MedMen has developed numerous proprietary technologies and processes. These proprietary technologies and processes include its seed-to-sale software, cultivation and extraction techniques, and cultivation equipment and irrigation systems. While actively exploring the patentability of these techniques and processes, MedMen relies on non-disclosure/confidentiality arrangements and trade secret protection.

 

MedMen has invested significant resources towards developing a recognizable and unique brand consistent with premium, high-end retailers in analogous industries. To date, MedMen has 13 registered federal trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, two registered trademarks in Canada, two trademark applications in Israel, six registered trademarks in Mexico, one registered trademark in California, 17 registered trademarks in Nevada, five registered trademarks in Florida and three registered trademarks in New York. All U.S. federal registered trademarks are further described below.

 

MedMen’s in-house and outside legal counsel monitor and swiftly respond to potential intellectual property infringement. Additionally, MedMen maintains strict standards and operating procedures regarding its intellectual property, including the regular use of non-disclosure, confidentiality, and intellectual property assignment agreements.

Fiscal Year 2021 Highlights

 

Continued Strategic Partnership with Gotham Green Partners

 

On April 23, 2019, the Company secured a senior secured convertible credit facility (the “Convertible Facility”) to provide up to $250,000,000 in gross proceeds, arranged by Gotham Green Partners (“GGP”). The Convertible Facility has been accessed to date through issuances to the lenders of convertible senior secured notes (“GGP Notes”) co-issued by the Company and MM Can USA, Inc. (“MM CAN” or “MedMen Corp.”). Refer to “Note 19 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in this prospectus for further information. As of June 26, 2021, the Company has drawn down on a total of $165,000,000 on the Convertible Facility, of which approximately $15,000,000 was during the current fiscal year. The principal amount of the Convertible Facility has been and is anticipated to be used for ongoing operations, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes.

 

On July 2, 2020, the Company amended and restated the securities purchase agreement under the Convertible Facility (“Fourth Amendment”) wherein the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until September 30, 2020 and resetting at $5,000,000 thereafter with incremental increases on March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021. The Fourth Amendment also released certain assets from its collateral to allow greater flexibility to generate proceeds through the sale of non-core assets. The payment-in-kind feature was extended whereby 100% of the cash interest due prior to June 2021 will be paid-in-kind and 50% of the cash interest due thereafter will be paid-in-kind. The amendment allowed for immediate prepayment with a 5% penalty until the second anniversary of the Fourth Amendment and a 3% penalty thereafter. In addition, the Fourth Amendment provided the holders of the GGP Notes down-round protection. Refer to “Note 19 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” of the consolidated financial statements in this prospectus for further information. As consideration for the Fourth Amendment, the conversion price for 52% of Tranches 1 through 3 and certain amendment fee notes were amended to $0.34 per share, and an amendment fee of $2,000,000 was paid through the issuance of additional notes at a conversion price of $0.28 per share.

 

On September 14, 2020, the Company had drawn down $5,000,000 through Tranche IA-2 of the Convertible Facility. In connection with the funding of Tranche IA-2, the Company issued 25,000,000 warrants to the lenders at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. In addition, 1,080,255 existing warrants were cancelled and replaced with 16,875,001 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Facility, the conversion price for 5.0% of the existing GGP Notes outstanding prior to Tranche 4 and the Incremental Advance, which was 5.0% of $170,729,923, was amended to $0.20 per share. In connection with the incremental advance, the Company issued convertible notes as consideration for a $468,564 fee with a conversion price of $0.20 per share.

 

On September 16, 2020 and September 28, 2020, the down round feature on the convertible notes and warrants issued in connection with Tranche 4, Incremental Advances and certain amendment fees was triggered wherein the exercise price was adjusted to $0.17 and $0.15 per share, respectively. The value of the effect of the down round feature on convertible notes and warrants was determined to be $32,744,770 and $6,723,954, respectively, during the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021.

 

On November 1, 2020, the Company repaid $8,000,000 of borrowings under the Convertible Facility.

 

On January 11, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Convertible Facility (the “Fifth Amendment”) pursuant to which the Company received an additional advance of $10,000,000 evidenced by the issuance of senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) with a conversion price of $0.16 per Class B Subordinate Voting Share (a “Share”). In connection with the Fifth Restatement, the Company paid a fee to the lenders of $937,127 evidenced by the issuance of senior secured convertible notes with a conversion price of $0.16 per Share (the “Restatement Fee Notes”). The Company also issued to the lenders 62,174,567 share purchase warrants exercisable for five years at a purchase price of $0.16 per Share (the “Warrants”). The Notes, Restatement Fee Notes and Warrants include down round adjustment provisions, with certain exceptions, if the Company issues securities at a lower price.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Facility, of the $168,100,000 senior secured convertible notes outstanding prior to Tranche 4 and the Incremental Advances thereunder (including paid-in-kind interest accrued on such notes), the conversion price of $47,100,000 of the notes was changed to $0.17 per Share, of which $16,800,000 of the notes will continue to be subject to down round adjustment provisions. In addition, the Company cancelled an aggregate of 2,160,507 warrants that were issued with such notes and, in exchange, issued 41,967,832 warrants with an exercise price of $0.16 per Subordinate Voting Share.

 

37

 

The Convertible Facility was also amended to, among other things, modify the minimum liquidity covenant, which extends the period during which it is waived from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021, reset the minimum liquidity threshold to $7,500,000 effective on July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, and $15,000,000 thereafter, and waiver of the minimum liquidity covenant if the Company is current on cash interest. Furthermore, covenants with regards to non-operating leases, capital expenditures and corporate SG&A will now be tied to a board of directors approved budget.

 

On April 21, 2021, the Company cancelled existing warrants totaling 97,785,140 warrants issued to GGP following two consecutive quarters of positive retail cash flow for the periods ended September 26, 2020 and December 26, 2020 pursuant to the Fifth Amendment. The following warrants were immediately and automatically cancelled in the amounts of 32,451,923, 6,490,385, 16,875,000 and 41,967,832 which were exercisable at $0.26, $0.26, $0.20 and $0.16, respectively.

 

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement letter (the “Letter”) with GGP in which the Company received reprieve from certain potential non-compliance with certain covenants under the Fifth Amendment dated January 11, 2021, such as potential non-compliance with certain reporting and notice requirements, pay certain liabilities when due, deliver control agreements for certain bank accounts, obtain consent from the lenders prior to hire certain executives, obtain consent from the lenders for certain matters and related items. No amounts were paid by the Company for the Letter.

 

Secured Term Loan Amendments

 

In October 2018, MedMen Corp. completed a $77,675,000 senior secured term loan (the “2018 Term Loan”) with funds managed by Hankey Capital, LLC and with an affiliate of Stable Road Capital. On January 13, 2020, the 2018 Term Loan was amended wherein the maturity date was extended to January 31, 2022 and the interest rate was increased to a fixed rate of 15.5% per annum, of which 12.0% will be payable monthly in cash based on the outstanding principal and 3.5% will accrue monthly to the principal amount of the debt as a payment-in-kind. Certain ownership interests of the Company’s subsidiaries have been pledged as security for the obligations under the 2018 Term Loan. Additionally, the Company guaranteed the obligations of MedMen Corp. under the 2018 Term Loan. Refer to “Note 18 – Notes Payable” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in this prospectus for further information.

 

On July 2, 2020, the Company further amended the 2018 Term Loan wherein the interest rate of 15.5% per annum will accrue monthly to the principal amount of the debt as a payment-in-kind effective March 1, 2020 through July 2, 2021 and thereafter until maturity on January 31, 2022, 7.75% interest per annum will be payable monthly in cash and 7.75% interest per annum will be paid-in-kind. Certain reporting and financial covenants were added and amended, and the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until September 30, 2020. The Company may request an increase to the 2018 Term Loan through December 31, 2020 to be funded through incremental term loans. As consideration for the amendment, the Company cancelled 20,227,863 existing warrants exercisable at $0.60 per share held by the lenders of the 2018 Term Loan, and MM CAN issued 20,227,863 warrants at $0.34 per share that are exercisable until July 2, 2025.

On September 16, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to the 2018 Term Loan in which the funds available under the facility was increased by $12,000,000 available through incremental term loans (the “2020 Term Loan”), of which $5,700,000 was fully committed by the lenders through October 31, 2020. The additional funds accrue interest at 18.0% per annum wherein 12.0% will be paid in cash monthly in arrears and 6.0% per annum accrues monthly as payment-in-kind. As consideration for the amendment, the Company cancelled 20,227,863 existing warrants held by the lenders exercisable at $0.60 per share, and MM CAN issued 20,227,863 warrants exercisable at $0.34 per share until September 16, 2025.

The newly issued warrants may be exercised at the election of their holders on a cashless basis.

 

On September 16, 2020 and September 28, 2020, the down round feature on the warrants issued in connection with the incremental term loan of $3,000,000 on September 16, 2020 was triggered wherein the exercise price was adjusted to $0.17 and $0.15 per share, respectively.

On May 11, 2021, the Company executed an amendment to the secured term loan in which certain covenants were added and amended. Specifically, the minimum liquidity covenant was amended to which the covenant will not apply if the Company pays and has paid the cash portion of interest accrued under the senior secured term loan facility when such cash interest becomes due and payable. Such covenant will continue to be applied in the event the Company has failed to make payments. The minimum liquidity balance was not amended. In addition, application of payments was added wherein proceeds from the sale of the New York disposal group shall be applied to the amended and restated Facility on July 2, 2020 in the principal amount of $83,123,291. As consideration for the amendment, the Company incurred a modification fee of $1,000,000 which will be due on the earliest of (a) receipt of Level-Up proceeds, (b) the date of the Investment Agreement Ascend Wellness Holdings, LLC, and (c) the earlier of January 31, 2022.

Unsecured Convertible Facility

 

On September 16, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible debenture facility (the “Unsecured Convertible Facility”) for total available proceeds of $10,000,000 wherein the convertible debentures will have a conversion price equal to the closing price on the trading day immediately prior to the closing date, a maturity date of 24 months from the date of issuance and will bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum payable semi-annually in cash. The unsecured facility is callable in additional tranches in the amount of $1,000,000 each, up to a maximum of $10,000,000 under all tranches. The timing of additional tranches can be accelerated based on certain conditions.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Despite being deemed as an essential retailer in its core markets, the Company has experienced a negative impact on sales in certain markets as a result of shelter-at-home orders, social distancing efforts, restrictions on the maximum allowable number of people within a retail establishment and declining tourism. Although the Company permanently closed one store as a result of COVID-19, certain markets, such as California and Nevada, experienced a greater impact on sales due to reduced store hours and foot traffic in certain locations, as well as limits on the number of customers that may be in a store at any one time. Other markets, such as Illinois, Florida and New York have not been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and in some cases, stores in those markets have generated increased sales. Due to its strong vendor partnerships in each market, the Company has not experienced a significant impact to its supply chain in each market. At this time, it is unclear how long these measures may remain in place, what additional measures may be imposed, or when our operations will be restored to the levels that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Factors Affecting Performance

 

Company management believes that the nascent cannabis industry represents an extraordinary opportunity in which the Company’s performance and success depend on a number of factors:

 

  Market Expansion. The Company’s success in achieving a desirable retail footprint is attributable to its market expansion strategy, which was a key driver of revenue growth. The Company exercises discretion in focusing on investing in retail locations that can deliver near term increased earnings to the Company.

 

  Retail Growth. MedMen stores are located in premium locations in markets such as California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Florida. As it continues to increase sales, the Company expects to leverage its retail footprint to develop a robust distribution model.

 

  Direct-to-Consumer Channel Rollout. MedMen Delivery is available in California. The Company benefited from increased traction with in-store pickup as well as delivery service, curbside pickup and loyalty rewards program.

 

  COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. While the ultimate severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment is uncertain, the Company is monitoring this closely. The Company’s business depends on the uninterrupted operation of its stores and facilities. In the event that the Company were to experience widespread transmission of the virus at one or more of the Company’s stores or other facilities, the Company could suffer reputational harm or other potential liability. To date, the Company has generally implemented certain safety measures to ensure the safety of its customers and associates, which may have the effect of discouraging shopping or limiting the occupancy of our stores. These measures, and any additional measures that have been and may continue to be taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, have substantially decreased and may continue to decrease, the number of customers that visit our stores which has had, and will likely continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the extent of its overall impact on our financial and operational results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time; however, the Company has experienced significant declines in sales. The overall impact will depend on the length of time that the pandemic continues, the extent to which it affects our ability to raise capital, and the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic as well as uncertainty regarding all of the foregoing. At this time, it is unclear how long these measures may remain in place, what additional measures maybe imposed, or when our operations will be restored to the levels that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Trends

 

MedMen is subject to various trends that could have a material impact on the Company, its financial performance and condition, and its future outlook. A deviation from expectations for these trends could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking information included in this MD&A and the Company’s financial statements. These trends include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  Liberalization of Cannabis Laws. The Company is reliant on the existing legal and regulatory administration as to the sale and consumption of cannabis in the states in which the Company operates not being repealed or overturned and on the current approach to enforcement of federal laws by the federal government. The Company is also reliant on the continuation of the trend toward increased liberalization of cannabis laws throughout the United States, including the adoption of medical cannabis regulations in states without cannabis programs and the conversion of medical cannabis laws to recreational cannabis laws in states with medical cannabis programs. Although the Company is focused on California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Florida, this trend provides MedMen with new opportunities to deploy capital and expand geographically. The opportunity for geographic expansion is important because some jurisdictions with existing cannabis programs limit the number of retail locations that can be owned by a single entity.

 

  Popular Support for Cannabis Legalization. The Company is reliant on the continuation of the trend toward increased popular support and acceptance of cannabis legalization. This trend could change if there is new research conducted that challenges the health benefits of cannabis or that calls into question its safety or efficacy or significant product recalls or broad-based deleterious health effects. This trend could also be influenced by a shift in the political climate, or by a decision of the United States government to enforce federal laws that make cannabis illegal. Such a change in popular support could undermine the trend toward cannabis legalization and possibly lead states with existing cannabis programs to roll them back, either of which would negatively impact the Company’s growth plans.

 

42

 

  Balanced Supply and Demand in States. The Company is reliant on the maintenance of a balance between supply and demand in the various states in which it operates cannabis retail stores. Federal law provides that cannabis and cannabis products may not be transported across state lines in the United States. As a result, all cannabis consumed in a state must be grown and produced in that same state. This dynamic could make it more difficult, in the short term, to maintain a balance between supply and demand. If excess cultivation and production capacity is created in any given state and this is not matched by increased demand in that state, then this could exert downward pressure on the retail price for products. A substantial increase in retail licenses offered by state authorities in any given state could result in increased competition and exert downward pressure on the retail pricing. If cultivation and production in a state fails to match demand, there could be insufficient supply of product in a state to meet demand, causing retail revenue in that state to fall or stagnate, including due to retail locations closing while supply is increased.

 

Components of Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

For the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, the Company derives the majority of its revenue from direct sales to customers in its retail stores. Approximately 61% of revenue was generated from operations in California, with the remaining 39% from operations in Arizona, Nevada, Illinois and Florida. Revenue through retail stores is recognized upon delivery of the goods to the customer and when collection is reasonably assured, net of an estimated allowance for sales returns.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Gross profit is revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for finished goods, such as flower, edibles and concentrates, packaging and other supplies, fees for services and processing, and allocated overhead, such as allocations of rent, administrative salaries, utilities and related costs. Cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis product, which may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes. Gross margin measures gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

 

Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses represent costs incurred in MedMen’s corporate offices, primarily related to personnel costs, including salaries, incentive compensation, benefits, share-based compensation and professional service costs, including legal and accounting. Sales and marketing expenses consist of selling costs to support customer relationships and to deliver product to retail stores. It also includes an investment in marketing and brand activities and the corporate infrastructure required to support the ongoing business. Depreciation and amortization expenses represent the portion of the Company’s definite-lived property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that is being used up during the reporting period. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration expense represent the realized gain or loss upon the settlement of contingent liabilities related to the Company’s business acquisitions and the unrealized gain or loss on the changes in fair value of such outstanding liabilities upon remeasurement at each reporting period. Impairment expense represents the permanent reduction of an assets carrying value down to fair value and may include inventory, property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and other assets. Other operating income and expenses consist of the gain or loss on disposal of assets from assets held for sale and discontinued operations, restructuring fees or reorganization expenses, gain or loss on settlement of accounts payable, and gain on lease terminations.

 

Income Taxes

 

MedMen is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries. However, the state of California does not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its California Franchise Tax Returns.

Revenue

 

Revenue for the year ended June 26, 2021 was $145.1 million, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 7%, compared to revenue of $155.3 million for the year ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on overall retail traffic and tourism as further discussed below. During the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, MedMen had 26 active retail locations in the states of California, New York, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Florida, of which four retail locations located within the state of New York were classified as discontinued operations, compared to 26 active retail locations for the same period in the prior year. Since June 27, 2020, the Company opened their Fort Lauderdale and Miami locations in Florida as well as their Emeryville location in California and temporarily closed five retail locations in the state of Florida to redirect inventory from its Eustis facility to its highest performing stores. The Company also divested three retail locations in Illinois and Arizona since June 27, 2020 to raise non-dilutive financing through the sale of non-core assets. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company contemplated the sale of four retail stores in New York and entered into a definitive investment agreement to sell a controlling interest, subject to regulatory approval. As of June 26, 2021, the Company had 22 active retail locations related to continuing operations.

 

44

 

The decrease in revenue was primarily related to the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which affected the Company’s operations for the majority of the current fiscal year compared to the latter four months of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced decreased sales in certain locations within California due to reduced foot traffic as a result of business and occupancy restrictions and a slowdown in tourism. Retail revenue for the year ended June 26, 2021 in California decreased $21.6 million compared to the year ended June 27, 2020. In Florida and Illinois, revenues have not been significantly impacted by COVID-19 with retail locations in those markets having increased sales by $5.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, during the year ended June 26, 2021. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company continues to enhance its retail experience through better product assortment, customer service and purchasing options with an emphasis on curbside pickup and delivery in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the majority of the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, the Company maintained modified store operations based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and local ordinances which limit in-store traffic for certain locations and consequently increased focus on direct-to-consumer delivery, including curbside pickup. MedMen expects to continue offering a variety of purchasing options for its customers to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to increase revenues in the coming periods.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021 was $77.8 million, a decrease of $22.1 million, or 22%, compared with $99.9 million of cost of goods sold for fiscal year ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in cost of goods sold is primarily driven by the decrease in cultivation and manufacturing facilities. For the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company had 26 active retail locations in the states of California, New York, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Florida, of which four retail locations located within the state of New York were classified as discontinued operations, compared to 26 active retail locations for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit for the year ended June 26, 2021 was $67.3 million, representing a gross margin of 46%, compared with gross profit of $55.4 million, representing a gross margin of 36%, for the year ended June 27, 2020. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the Company’s focus on retail profitability and improvements in its supply chain and cultivation facilities. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company strategically closed five retail locations in Florida to provide better and consistent supply for its patients. While these dispensaries remain temporarily closed as of June 26, 2021, the Company saw improved plant yields and quality driving improved margins. For the year ended June 26, 2021, MedMen operated five cultivation and production facilities, of which one facility located in New York was classified as discontinued operations, compared to six facilities in the comparative prior period. In November 2020, the Company completed the sale of one facility in Arizona (Tempe) as a result of the Company’s plan to divest non-core assets. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company also reduced the cash burn associated with cultivation and manufacturing operations in California and Nevada and continues to evaluate strategic partnerships for these facilities. MedMen expects margins to improve in the coming periods as the Company restructures certain operations and divests licenses in non-core markets.

 

Total Expenses

 

Total expenses for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021 were $134.9 million, a decrease of $352.8 million, or 72%, compared to total expenses of $487.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, which represents 93% of revenue for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021 compared to 314% of revenue for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in total expenses was attributable to the factors described below.

 

General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 were $124.6 million and $192.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $68.1 million, or 35%. General and administrative expenses have decreased primarily due to the Company’s focus on right-sizing its corporate infrastructure by reducing company-wide SG&A while improving efficiency. Key drivers of the decrease in general and administrative expenses include overall corporate cost savings, strategic headcount reductions across various departments, and elimination of non-core functions and overhead in several departments. The decrease of $68.1 million compared to the year ended June 27, 2020 was primarily related to a decrease in payroll and payroll related expenses of $29.4 million, a decrease of $5.5 million in licenses, fees and taxes, a decrease in professional fees of $3.9 million and a decrease in stock compensation expense of $6.8 million.

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 were $1.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $9.6 million, or 90%. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributed to the reduction in marketing and sales related spending due to the implementation of the Company’s cost-cutting strategy. During the current fiscal year, the Company maintained its focus on budget allocation to marketing and redefined its marketing initiatives to target its changing customer base. The Company shifted its approach from third-party listing services to integration efforts with its point-of-sale systems to increase awareness in local customers and improve the customer experience while providing higher returns. Traditional and digital paid media marketing campaign of $7.2 million in the comparative prior period was reduced to $0.1 million during the year ended June 26, 2021.

Depreciation and amortization for the year ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was $31.1 million and $37.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $6.6 million, or 18%. The decrease is attributable to the reduction in capital expenditures through a slow-down in new store buildouts of the Company’s operations through acquisitions and a delay of capital-intensive projects during the current fiscal year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company’s turnaround plan.

 

Realized and unrealized changes in fair value of contingent consideration for the year ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was a loss of $0.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 96%. The contingent consideration is related to an acquisition of a California dispensary license during the year ended June 27, 2020 wherein the expiration of the lock-up period occurred during the fiscal second quarter of 2021.

 

Impairment expense for the year ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was $2.4 million and $246.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $244.3 million, or 99%. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company recorded impairment on an intellectual property asset in the amount of $1.6 million. During the comparative period, the Company recognized an impairment expense of $143.0 million on property and equipment, $39.0 million on intangible assets, $33.5 million on goodwill, $19.8 million on operating lease right-of-use assets, $5.9 million on other assets, and $5.6 million on assets held for sale.

 

Other operating income for the year ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was $24.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively, an increase of $15.6 million, or 171%. The change was primarily attributable to the $16.3 million gain related to the lease deferral with the REIT during the fiscal first quarter of 2021 as the decrease in present value of lease payments was greater than the remaining net asset balance of finance lease assets. The Company also recognized a $2.9 million gain on lease terminations in Florida and Illinois during the fiscal second quarter of 2021. Such gains were offset by restructuring fees of $5.0 million during the year ended June 26, 2021.

 

Total Other Expense

 

Total other expense for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021 was $76.0 million, an increase of $10.8 million compared to total other expense of $65.2 million, or 17%, for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020. The increase in total other expense was primarily a result of the decrease of loss on extinguishment of debt which totaled $43.8 million during the year ended June 27, 2020 primarily related to the First and Third Amendment of the Convertible Facility, compared to a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $16.1 million during the current period of which $10.1 million was due to the Fourth Amendment of the Convertible Facility and $4.0 million was related to a commitment to issue warrants in connection with the Unsecured Convertible Facility. This decrease was offset by an increase of amortization of debt discount of $20.1 million compared to the year ended June 27, 2020 as a result of the Company’s higher debt balance. During the current period, proceeds from issuances of the Convertible Facility totaled $14.6 million and proceeds from issuances of notes payable, including the 2020 Term Loan and the Unsecured Convertible Facility, totaled $15.8 million. Additionally, the Company saw a $7.9 million decrease in gains on investments and other assets and a $7.9 million decrease in changes in fair value of derivatives which are based on the closing price of the Company’s warrants related to bought deals traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol “MMEN.WT” which have stabilized during the year ended June 26, 2021, compared to the same period prior.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income tax expense for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021 was $1.8 million compared to the provision benefit for income tax benefit of $40.9 million for the year ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to the Company reporting increased expenses subject to IRC Section 280E relative to pre-tax book loss. The Company incurred a large amount of expenses that were not deductible due to IRC Section 280E limitations which resulted in income tax expense being incurred while there were pre-tax losses for the year ended June 26, 2021.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss from continuing operations for the year ended June 26, 2021 was $145.4 million, a decrease of $311.2 million, or 68%, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $456.6 million for the year ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in net loss from continuing operations was mainly attributable to the decrease impairment expense recognized during the current fiscal year and the decrease in general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing expenses as a direct result of the Company’s turnaround plan which includes efforts to optimize SG&A and right-size the Company’s corporate infrastructure. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the year ended June 26, 2021 was $33.5 million, resulting in net loss of $124.1 million attributable to the shareholders of MedMen Enterprises Inc. compared to $247.2 million for the year ended June 27, 2020.

Revenue

 

Revenue for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was $42.0 million, an increase of $14.7 million, or 54%, compared to revenue of $27.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020. For the three months ended June 26, 2021, MedMen had 26 active retail locations in the states of California, New York, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Florida, of which four were located within the state of New York were classified as discontinued operations, which was consistent with the same period in the prior year. During the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, five retail locations in the state of Florida remained temporarily closed in order to redirect inventory from its Eustis cultivation facility to its highest performing stores and thus excluded from the number of active retail locations as of June 26, 2021. As of June 26, 2021, the Company had 22 active retail locations related to continuing operations.

 

47

 

The increase in revenue was primarily related to the Company’s continued initiatives in light of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the gradual reopening across the country. During the three months ended June 26, 2021, the Company continued to enhance its retail experience through better product assortment, customer service and purchasing options with an emphasis on curbside pickup and delivery which have proven to be effective service enhancements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously modified store operations based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and local ordinances, which limit in-store traffic for certain locations, began to operate at a less restrictive scale during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 as COVID-related restrictions began to lift, resulting in increased tourism and normalizing retail traffic levels. MedMen expects to continue offering a variety of purchasing options for its customers to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, which is expected to continue to increase revenues in the coming periods. As the Company’s key markets continue to recover from the pandemic, MedMen also expects to utilize their marketing communications and revised assortment to drive and serve retail traffic at a much higher volume and rate.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 26, 2021was $22.3 million, an increase of $6.0 million, or 37%, compared with $16.3 million of cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 27, 2020. Gross profit for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was $19.7 million, representing a gross margin of 47%, compared with gross profit of $11.0 million, representing a gross margin of 40%, for the three months ended June 27, 2020. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to the Company’s retail optimization efforts in which improvements in the Company’s product sourcing and favorable changes to pricing and payment terms in key vendor agreements resulted in improved margins for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021. In addition, the Company’s shrink-to-grow plan in Florida continues to drive results in which manufacturing consistency and cultivation yields has produced additional margins.

 

For the three months ended June 26, 2021, the Company had 26 active retail locations in the states of California, New York, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Florida, of which four were located within the state of New York were classified as discontinued operations, compared to 26 active retail locations for the comparative prior period. MedMen operated five cultivation and production facilities in the states of Nevada, California, New York, Florida and Arizona, of which one facility located in New York was classified as discontinued operations, compared to six cultivation facilities for the three months ended June 27, 2020. During the fiscal fourth quarter of 2020, five retail locations in Florida were temporarily closed in order to shift supply levels from its Eustis cultivation facility to the Company’s highest-performing stores in Florida which remain closed as of June 26, 2021. As of the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, the Company continues to evaluate strategic partnerships for its cultivation and production facilities in California and Nevada where the Company continues to incur significant fixed costs. MedMen expects margins to improve in the coming periods as the Company restructures certain operations and divests licenses in non-core markets.

 

Total Expenses

 

Total expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2021 were $41.4 million, a decrease of $235.2 million, or 85%, compared to total expenses of $276.6 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020, which represents 99% of revenue for the three months ended June 26, 2021, compared to 1,013% of revenue for the three months ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in total expenses was attributable to the factors described below.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 were $32.9 million and $38.6 million, respectively, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 15%. General and administrative expenses have decreased primarily due to the Company’s continued efforts to reduce company-wide selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Key drivers of the decrease in general and administrative expenses include overall corporate cost savings, strategic headcount reductions across various departments, and elimination of non-core functions and overhead in several departments, resulting in a decrease in deal costs of $5.6 million and a decrease in banking fee and charges of $0.5 million.

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 were $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, or 200%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributed to an increase in marketing and promotions of $0.2 million and an increase in public relations expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 compared to the same period prior.

 

48

 

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was $6.1 million and $15.0 million, respectively, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 59%. The decrease is attributable to the reduction in capital expenditures through a slow-down in new store buildouts of the Company’s operations through acquisitions and a delay in capital-intensive projects throughout the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, resulting in a decrease in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

 

Realized and unrealized changes in fair value of contingent consideration remained generally consistent for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 in the amount of nil and $0.5 million, respectively.

 

Impairment expense for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was nil and $229.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $229.8 million, or 100%. The Company did not identify indicators of impairment of its goodwill or long-lived assets during their annual impairment assessment during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021. In the prior year, the Company recognized a significant amount of impairment expense as a result of the economic and market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the regulatory environment, which has been less volatile during the current period.

 

Other operating expense (income) for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was $1.8 million, a decrease of $9.3 million, or 124% from the income of $7.5 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020. During the three months ended June 26, 2021, the Company recognized $2.3 million of restructuring fees which was offset by a gain on disposal of assets held for sale of $1.6 million, a gain on disposal of assets of $0.2 million and a gain on settlement of accounts payable of $0.3 million.

 

Total Other Expense

 

Total other expense for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was $20.0 million, an increase of $6.2 million, or 45%, compared to total other expense of $13.8 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020. The increase in total other expense was primarily attributable to the Company’s higher debt balance as of June 26, 2021 which increased $26.6 million compared to June 27, 2020 as a result of the 2020 Term Loan and the Unsecured Convertible Facility as well as issuances from the Convertible Facility. Accordingly, amortization of debt discount and loan origination fees of $10.2 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 increased by $8.8 million compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020. This was offset by interest expense of $10.0 million during the three months ended June 26, 2021 which decreased by $2.9 million compared to $12.9 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income tax benefit for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $17.7 million, or 102% compared to the provision for income tax expense of $17.4 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020, primarily attributable to an increase in expenses incurred during the three months ended June 26, 2021 that carry deferred tax impacts resulting in no effect on the annual estimated tax rate relative to pre-tax book income.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was $41.4 million, a decrease of $255.4 million, or 86%, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $296.8 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in net loss from continuing operations was mainly attributable to the decrease of $229.8 million in impairment expense as described above. In addition, the Company’s continued focus on cost efficiency within the corporate structure, which includes strategic headcount reductions, elimination of non-core functions and overhead in several departments, and renegotiation of ancillary cost to the business has resulted in additional cost savings during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was $7.3 million, resulting in net loss of $38.9 million attributable to the shareholders of MedMen Enterprises Inc. compared to $156.8 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020.

Revenue

 

Revenue for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 was $39.1 million and $78.9 million, an increase of $6.5 million and $11.2 million, or 20% and 17%, compared to revenue of $32.6 million and $67.7 million for the three months and six ended December 26, 2020.

 

The increase in revenue was primarily related to the Company’s initiatives as it recovers from the COVID-19 impact on business and occupancy restrictions. During the three months ended December 25, 2021, the Company continued to elevate its product offering, revamp its pricing and assortment strategy, and focus on driving retail traffic. Specifically in California, where retail revenue increased $3.6 million during the current period compared to the prior year quarter, the Company saw increased engagement through its customer relationship strategy and focused on marketing and advertising initiatives as COVID-19 restrictions began to lift. In addition, revenue in Arizona increased $2.5 million compared to the three months ended December 26, 2020 as a result of the Company’s focus on driving retail traffic after the state-wide transition to adult-use during the spring of calendar year 2021. Previously modified store operations based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and local ordinances, which limit in-store traffic for certain locations, began to operate at a less restrictive scale since the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 as COVID-19 related restrictions began to lift, resulting in increased tourism and normalizing retail traffic levels. As the Company’s key markets continue to recover from the pandemic, MedMen expects to continue utilizing their tailored marketing initiatives and revised assortment to drive and serve retail traffic at a much higher volume and rate.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 was $19.9 million and $42.2 million, an increase of $4.1 million and $7.8 million, or 26% and 23%, compared with $15.8 million and $34.4 million of cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended December 26, 2020. Gross profit for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 was $19.2 million and $36.7 million compared with gross profit of $16.8 million and $33.3 million, for the three and six months ended December 26, 2020. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to our revenue growth offset by an increase in promotional discounts and a one-time write down of inventory at one of its cultivation facilities. MedMen expects gross profit to improve slightly during the remaining of fiscal year 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed its strategic partnership for its cultivation and production facilities in California and Nevada where the Company had incurred significant fixed costs, wherein licensed operations will be carried on under management agreements while also supplying product for the Company’s private label in California and Nevada.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 25, 2021 increased to $44.3 million from $43.7 million as compared to the same period prior year, and increased to $90.9 million from $54.2 million as compared to six months ended December 26, 2020. These changes were attributable to the factors described below.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 were $35.5 million and $71.8 million, compared to $31.8 million and $62.0 million, an increase of $3.5 million and $9.8 million, or 11% and 16% as compared to the same prior year periods. The overall increase in the comparable periods is primarily due to an increase in professional fees which is a direct result of litigation costs associated with previous officers of the Company. On a sequential quarter basis, we achieved a reduction of $1.2 million from $36.5 million reported in our first fiscal quarter. Management continues to focus in reducing company-wide selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 were $1.1 million and $1.8 million, compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million. In comparison to the prior year periods, the increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributed to an increase in marketing and advertising of $0.6 million and $0.9 million and an increase in customer relationship tools of $0.2 million and $0.3 million from increased marketing initiatives to drive retail traffic as COVID-19 restrictions began to lift, tourism increased, and certain states moved towards regulatory approval of recreational marijuana.

 

Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 was $7.6 million and $14.7 million, as compared to $8.9 million and $16.9 million. The overall decrease is attributable to the reduction in capital expenditures resulting from a delay and in capital-intensive projects as part of the Company’s turnaround plan and the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

51

 

Realized and unrealized changes in fair value of contingent consideration for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 was $(0.3) million as compared to $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended December 26, 2020, respectively. The increase in fair value of the contingent liabilities was due to the increase in the Company’s share price compared to prior year.

 

Impairment expense for the six months ended December 25, 2021 related an impairment on an intellectual property asset in the amount of $0.4 million.

 

Other operating expense (income) for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 was $0.6 million and $2.5 million, as compared to $2.7 million and $(26.1) million for the three and six months ended December 26, 2020, respectively. For the six months ended December 25, 2021, the change was primarily attributable to the $16.3 million gain related to the lease deferral with the REIT and $2.9 million gain on lease terminations in the comparative prior period. For the six months ended December 25, 2021, other operating expense (income) included restructuring and reorganizational expenses of $2.2 million.

 

Non-Operating Expense

 

Non-operating (income) expense for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021, was $(2.1) million and $3.3 million as compared to $13.1 million and $33.3 million in the prior year periods. The decrease in total other expense includes a loss on extinguishment of debt of $10.1 million in the comparative prior period, compared to the net gain on extinguishment of debt of $10.2 million in the current period as a result of the $12.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to the Sixth Amendment, offset by the $2.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the settlement of the unsecured promissory note in connection with the Private Placement. In addition, a gain on changes in fair value of derivatives of $14.1 million and $16.2 million for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 contributed to the decrease in total non-operating expenses as a result of the derivative liabilities recognized in the fiscal first quarter of 2022.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

MedMen is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries. However, the state of California does not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its California Franchise Tax Returns.

 

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 was a benefit of $8.1 million and an expense of $11.6 million, respectively, compared to the provision for income tax expense of $22.6 million and $34.8 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020, primarily due to the Company’s forecasted income, related IRC Section 280E expenditures and interest due to the Internal Revenue Service. The Company incurred a large amount of expenses that were not deductible due to IRC Section 280E limitations which resulted in income tax expense being incurred while there were pre-tax losses for the current period.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended December 25, 2021 was $14.9 million, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $62.6 million for the same period prior year. The improvement in net loss from continuing operations was mainly attributable to the changes in fair value of derivatives of $14.1 million during the fiscal second quarter of 2021, and a decrease in our provision for income taxes. Net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended December 25, 2021 also decreased to $69.0 million from $89.1 million for the same period prior year. The decrease during the six months period as compared to the same period prior year was primarily as result of the effects of non-operating activities that occurred in the prior year, including a loss in extinguishment of debt which did not occur in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, the Company provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision-making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures (collectively, the “non-GAAP financial measures”) are:

 

Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations   Net Loss from Continuing Operations adjusted for transaction costs, restructuring costs, share-based compensation, and other non-cash operating costs. This non-GAAP measure represents the profitability of the Company excluding unusual and infrequent expenditures and non-cash operating costs.
     
EBITDA from Continuing Operations   Net Loss from Continuing Operations adjusted for interest and financing costs, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. This non-GAAP measure represents the Company’s current operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow.
     
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations   EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) adjusted for transaction costs, restructuring costs, share-based compensation, and other non-cash operating costs, such as changes in fair value of derivative liabilities and unrealized changes in fair value of investments. This non-GAAP measure represents the Company’s current operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow excluding non-recurring, irregular or one-time expenditures in order improve comparability.
     
Working Capital   Current assets less current liabilities. This non-GAAP measure represents operating liquidity available to the Company.
     
Corporate SG&A   Selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Company’s corporate functions. This non-GAAP measure represents scalable expenditures that are not directly correlated with the Company’s retail operations.
     
Retail Revenue   Consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue, such as cultivation and manufacturing revenue. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company’s performance as a cannabis retailer in the U.S. considering the Company’s long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations.
     
Retail Cost of Goods Sold   Consolidated cost of goods sold less non-retail cost of goods sold. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company’s performance as a cannabis retailer in the U.S. considering the Company’s long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations.
     
Retail Gross Margin   Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP) less the related Retail Cost of Goods Sold (Non-GAAP). Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) is reconciled to consolidated gross margin as follows: consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue reduced by consolidated cost of goods sold less non-retail cost of goods sold. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company’s performance as a cannabis retailer in the U.S. considering the Company’s long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations.
     
Retail Gross Margin Rate   Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP). Retail Gross Margin Rate (Non-GAAP) is reconciled to consolidated gross margin rate as follows: consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue reduced by consolidated cost of goods sold less non-retail cost of goods sold, divided by consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company’s performance as a cannabis retailer in the U.S. considering the Company’s long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations.

 

53

 

Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin   Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) less direct store operating expenses, including rent, payroll, security, insurance, office supplies and payment processing fees, local cannabis and excise taxes, distribution expenses, and inventory adjustments. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company’s performance as a cannabis retailer in the U.S. considering the Company’s long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations.
     
Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin Rate   Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP), which is calculated as consolidated revenue less non-retail revenue. This non-GAAP measure provides a standalone basis of the Company’s performance as a cannabis retailer in the U.S. considering the Company’s long-term viability is correlated with cash flows provided by or used in retail operations.

 

In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, the Company provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision-making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assess the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures and believes they enhance an investors’ understanding of the Company’s financial and operating performance from period to period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management.

 

In particular, the Company continues to make investments in its cannabis properties and management resources to better position the organization to achieve its strategic growth objectives which have resulted in outflows of economic resources. Accordingly, the Company uses these metrics to measure its core financial and operating performance for business planning purposes. In addition, the Company believes investors use both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to assess management’s past and future decisions associated with its priorities and allocation of capital, as well as to analyze how the business operates in, or responds to, swings in economic cycles or to other events that impact the cannabis industry. However, these measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies in the Company’s industry. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain material non-cash items and certain other adjustments the Company believes are not reflective of its ongoing operations and performance. These financial measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP. For example, certain of these non-GAAP financial measures:

 

  exclude certain tax payments that may reduce cash available to the Company;

 

  do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;

 

  do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and

 

  do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt.

 

Other companies in the cannabis industry may calculate these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Retail Performance

 

Within the cannabis industry, MedMen is uniquely focused on the retail component of the value chain. For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, the Company is providing detail with respect to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) attributable to the Company’s national retail operations to show how it is leveraging its retail footprint and strategically investing in the future. The table below highlights the Company’s national Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP), which excludes corporate marketing expenses, distribution expenses, inventory adjustments, and local cannabis and excise taxes. Entity-wide Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) is presented under “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

(3) Other non-retail operating expenses excluded from Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) for the fiscal quarters ended June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021 primarily consist of transaction costs and restructuring costs of $3.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and share-based compensation of $1.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as commonly excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP). Refer to “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
(4) For the current period, direct store operating expenses now includes local taxes of $0.5 million and $(0.7) million for the fiscal quarters ended June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021, respectively. Local taxes include cannabis sales and excise taxes imposed by municipalities in which the Company has active retail operations and vary by jurisdiction. Local taxes are not a cost required to directly operate the Company’s stores, but rather a byproduct of retail operations. In addition, distribution expenses of $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the fiscal quarters ended June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021, respectively, are also included in direct store operating expenses for the current reporting period. Distribution expenses relate to additional porter fees. Such expenses were presented as additional adjustments to arrive at Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) in prior periods and are now presented within retail operating expenses for a condensed presentation of Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP).

 

The non-GAAP retail performance measures demonstrate the Company’s four-wall margins which reflect the sales of the Company’s retail operations relative to the direct costs required to operate such dispensaries. Retail revenue is related to net sales from the Company’s stores, excluding non-retail revenue, such as cultivation and manufacturing revenue. Similarly, retail cost of goods sold and direct store operating expenses are directly related to the Company’s retail operations. Non-Retail Revenue includes revenue from third-party wholesale sales. Non-Retail Cost of Goods Sold includes costs directly related to third-party wholesale sales produced by the Company’s cultivation and production facilities, such as packaging, materials, payroll, rent, utilities, security, etc. While third-party sales were not significant for the fiscal quarter ended June 26, 2021, Non-Retail Cost of Goods Sold related to cultivation and wholesale operations was $3.9 million due to unallocated overages from increased production burn rate. Non-Retail Operating Expenses include ongoing costs related to the Company’s cultivation and wholesale operations, corporate spending, and depreciation and amortization. Non-Retail EBITDA Margin reflects the gross margins of the Company’s cultivation and wholesale operations excluding any related operating expenses. To determine the Company’s four-wall margins, certain costs that do not directly support the Company’s retail function are excluded from Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP).

 

For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, retail revenue was $40.7 million across the Company’s continuing operations in California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Florida. This represents a 20% increase, or $6.9 million, over the fiscal third quarter of 2021 of $33.8 million. The increase in retail revenue from continuing operations was driven primarily by increased consumer spending during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 wherein the number of COVID-19 cases nationwide declined and vaccines became available, allowing certain states to reopen and slowly lift restrictions. In particular, the gradual reopening in California during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, which is the largest market in which the Company operates in, resulted in an increase in retail revenue of $4.9 million compared to the prior quarter. Similarly in Nevada, Las Vegas is starting to return to normalcy with increased tourism during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 in which retail revenue increased $1.4 million compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2021. The Company expects traffic levels to normalize as the Company’s key markets continue to recover from the pandemic. Retail Gross Margin Rate (Non-GAAP), which is Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP), for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 was 55% compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2021 of 56%. Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) is Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP) less the related Retail Cost of Goods Sold (Non-GAAP). The Company had an aggregate Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin Rate (Non-GAAP), which is Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP), of 22% for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 which represents a decrease compared to the 24% realized in the fiscal third quarter of 2021 primarily due to direct store operating expenses which include, but are not limited to, rent, utilities, payroll and payroll related expenses, employee benefits, and security. Direct store operating expenses increased $2.8 million, or 26%, compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by higher general and administrative expenses and local tax adjustments during the current period.

Corporate SG&A

 

Corporate-level general and administrative expenses across various functions including Marketing, Legal, Retail Corporate, Technology, Accounting and Finance, Human Resources and Security (collectively referred to as “Corporate SG&A”) are combined to account for a significant proportion of the Company’s total general and administrative expenses. For the current reporting period, Corporate SG&A now includes pre-opening expenses of $4.7 million and $5.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021, respectively, which were presented as non-Corporate SG&A in prior periods. Pre-opening expenses is excluded from Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) and thus more appropriately classified as Corporate SG&A.

Refer to “Retail Performance” and notes therein for further information.
(2) Other non-Corporate SG&A for the fiscal quarters ended June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021 primarily consist of transaction costs and restructuring costs of $3.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and share-based compensation of $1.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as commonly excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP). Refer to “Retail Performance” and notes therein for further information.

 

For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) includes Corporate SG&A (Non-GAAP) of $16.8 million, representing an increase of $0.4 million, or 2%, from the $16.4 million that Corporate SG&A (Non-GAAP) contributed to Adjusted EBITDA Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) in the fiscal third quarter of 2021. The increase was related to higher accounting and legal fees as well as salaries and benefits.

(2) Income tax effects to arrive at Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) are related to temporary tax differences in which a future income tax benefit exists, such as changes in fair value of investments, assets held for sale and other assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, gain/loss from disposal of assets, and impairment expense. The income tax effect is calculated using the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and statutory rate for the state in which the related asset is held or the transaction occurs, most of which is in California with a statutory rate of 8.84%.

 

Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) represents the profitability of the Company excluding unusual and infrequent expenditures and non-cash operating costs. The change in Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) was primarily due to reductions in SG&A as a direct result of successful implementation of the Company’s cost reduction initiatives. Accordingly, Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) improved in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior period.

 

EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) represents the Company’s current operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow and includes significant non-cash operating costs. Net Loss is adjusted for interest and financing costs as a direct result of debt financings, income taxes, and amortization and depreciation expense to arrive at EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP). Considering these adjustments, the Company had EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) of $(13.1) million and $(49.1) million for the three months and year ended June 26, 2021 improved compared to the comparative prior periods. The change in EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) was primarily due to the impairments recognized during the 2020 fiscal year as a result of the economic and market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and regulatory environment.

For the three months and year ended June 26, 2021, the Company saw an improvement in Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) of $(9.7) million and $(46.0) million, respectively, compared to $(22.7) million and $(112.7) million for the three months and year ended June 27, 2020, respectively. The improvement is the direct result of the Company’s turnaround progress and execution on their transition to growth during fiscal year 2021. The financial performance of the Company is expected to further improve as the Company has a clear path towards profitability, and coupled with significant deleveraging of its balance sheet, will reposition the Company for growth.

(3)Other non-retail operating expenses excluded from Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) for the fiscal quarters ended December 25, 2021 and September 25, 2021 primarily consist of transaction costs and restructuring costs of $1.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and share-based compensation of $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, as commonly excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP).
(4)For the fiscal quarters ended December 25, 2021 and September 25, 2021, direct store operating expenses include, but are not limited to, rent, utilities, payroll and payroll related expenses, employee benefits, and security, totaling $13.7 million and $12.9 million, local taxes of nil and $0.3 million, and distribution expenses of $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Local taxes include cannabis sales and excise taxes imposed by municipalities in which the Company has active retail operations and vary by jurisdiction. Distribution expenses relate to additional porter fees.

 

The non-GAAP retail performance measures demonstrate the Company’s four-wall margins which reflect the sales of the Company’s retail operations relative to the direct costs required to operate such dispensaries. Retail revenue is related to net sales from the Company’s stores, excluding non-retail revenue, such as cultivation and manufacturing revenue. Similarly, retail cost of goods sold and direct store operating expenses are directly related to the Company’s retail operations. Non-Retail Revenue includes revenue from third-party wholesale sales. Non-Retail Cost of Goods Sold includes costs directly related to third-party wholesale sales produced by the Company’s cultivation and production facilities, such as packaging, materials, payroll, rent, utilities, security, etc. While third-party sales were not significant for the fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2021, Non-Retail Cost of Goods Sold related to cultivation and wholesale operations was $1.3 million due to unallocated overages from increased production burn rate. Non-Retail Operating Expenses include ongoing costs related to the Company’s cultivation and wholesale operations, corporate spending, and depreciation and amortization. Non-Retail EBITDA Margin reflects the gross margins of the Company’s cultivation and wholesale operations excluding any related operating expenses. To determine the Company’s four-wall margins, certain costs that do not directly support the Company’s retail function are excluded from Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP). For the fiscal second quarter of 2022, retail revenue was $37.8 million across the Company’s continuing operations in California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois and Florida. This represents a 2% decrease, or $0.7 million, over the fiscal first quarter of 2022 of $38.5 million. The decrease in retail revenue from continuing operations was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.2 million in California offset by an increase of $0.5 million in Florida. While there were multiple reasons for the decrease in retail revenue, we believe the primary factors were heightened restrictions due to the Delta and Omicron variant of COVID-19 and increased competition in certain markets. Retail Gross Margin Rate (Non-GAAP), which is Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP), for the fiscal second quarter of 2022 was 51% compared to the fiscal first quarter of 2022 of 52%. Retail Gross Margin (Non-GAAP) is Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP) less the related Retail Cost of Goods Sold (Non-GAAP). The Company had an aggregate Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin Rate (Non-GAAP), which is Retail Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP) divided by Retail Revenue (Non-GAAP), of 12% for the fiscal second quarter of 2022 which represents a decrease compared to the 17% realized in the fiscal first quarter of 2022 primarily due to increased marketing to drive retail traffic and increased payroll expenses as a result of incremental payroll from stores reopening and the impact of COVID-19 on staffing.

Corporate SG&A as a Component of Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP)

 

Corporate-level general and administrative expenses across various functions including Marketing, Legal, Retail Corporate, Technology, Accounting and Finance, Human Resources and Security (collectively referred to as “Corporate SG&A”) are combined to account for a significant proportion of the Company’s total general and administrative expenses. Corporate SG&A also includes pre-opening expenses related to general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company at non-operational retail locations, which such expenses would be classified as direct store operating expenses following its opening.

EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) represents the Company’s current operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow and includes significant non-cash operating costs. Net Loss is adjusted for interest and financing costs as a direct result of debt financings, income taxes, and amortization and depreciation expense to arrive at EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP). Considering these adjustments, the Company had EBITDA from Continuing Operations (NonGAAP) of $(3.3) million and $(12.4) million for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 compared to $(19.0) million and $(14.7) million for the comparative prior period. The change in EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) was primarily due to other non-cash operating costs for the changes in fair value of derivative liabilities and extinguishments of debt as described above. For the three and six months ended December 25, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) of $(15.2) million and $(29.8) million compared to $(13.0) million and $(25.7) million for the three and six months ended December 26, 2020, respectively. The increase of $1.9 million for the six months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses affecting Net Loss, offset by the increase in revenue and gross profit. The financial performance of the Company is expected to improve as the Company has a clear path towards profitability, and coupled with its stabilized liquidity, is properly repositioned the Company for growth. Refer to Item 2 “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion of management’s future outlook.

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s consolidated cash flows for the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, End of Period  $11.9   $9.6   $2.3    24%

 

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $59.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, a decrease in $50.0 million, or 46%, compared to $109.7 million for the year ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to implementation of the Company’s cost rationalization strategy during the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021. Specifically, general and administrative expenses include corporate-level expenses across various functions including Marketing, Legal, Retail Corporate, Technology, Accounting and Finance, Human Resources and Security which are combined to account for a significant proportion of the Company’s total general and administrative expenses. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the majority of the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, versus the last fourth months of the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, which resulted in a decrease in traffic levels due to retail occupancy restrictions and a significant slowdown in tourism.

 

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, a decrease of $30.5 million, or 158%, compared to $19.3 million used for the year ended June 27, 2020. The increase in net cash provided in investing activities was primarily due to the Company’s strategic plan to limit cash outlays and divest non-core assets. Net cash was positively impacted by a decrease in purchases of property and equipment of $50.6 million, offset by a decrease in proceeds from the sale of investments of $12.5 million and a decrease in proceeds from the sale of property of $9.3 million.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $50.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, a decrease of $56.4 million, or 53%, compared to $107.1 million for the year ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in change of net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to a decrease of $33.7 million in the issuance of equity instruments for cash and a decrease of $35.4 million in proceeds from the credit facility with Gotham Green Partners. The decrease in debt and equity financings was offset by an increase in principal repayments of the credit facility with Gotham Green Partners in the amount of $8.0 million and a decrease of $14.0 million in principal repayments on notes payable compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s consolidated cash flows for the six months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $49.5 million for the three months ended December 25, 2021, an increase of $19.2 million, or 63%, compared to $30.3 million for the six months ended December 26, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in cash used for income taxes.

 

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.6 million for the six months ended December 25, 2021, a decrease of $23.3 million, from the $15.7 million of net cash provided from investing activities in the prior year. The decrease in net cash provided in investing activities was primarily in the prior period due to the Company’s strategic plan to divest non-core assets during the comparative prior period, resulting in $18.8 million received from proceeds from the sale of assets held for sale. In the prior period net cash used was also impacted by an increase in purchases of property and equipment in the current period of $7.1 million as compared to $1.2 million in the prior year as the Company reopened construction-in-progress in fiscal year 2022.

 

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $93.2 million for the three months ended December 25, 2021, an increase of $81.4 million, compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended December 26, 2020. The increase in change of net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the $95.0 million for the issuance of equity instruments for cash and the $5.0 million from the unsecured promissory note. The increase in debt and equity financings was offset by payments of stock issuance costs of $5.4 million in connection with such capital transactions.

Financial Condition

 

As of December 25, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $47.7 million and net working capital deficit of $191.2 million. The Company has incurred losses from continuing operations of $23.0 million and $57.5 million for the three and six months then ended, respectively, used cash in continued operating activities of $45.6 million so far in the first half of the year and anticipates that the Company will continue to incur losses until such time as revenues exceed operating costs. On January 31, 2022, the Company’s term loans of $113.6 million as of December 25, 2021 became due and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Sixth Modification to Senior Secured Term Loan”, or the “Sixth Modification”) with the lender to extend the maturity date until July 31, 2022 and August 1, 2021 for the various loans included in the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility. See “Note 10 – Notes Payable”, for additional information about the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, and “Note 23 – Subsequent Events” for more information about the Sixth Modification. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations for at least one year from the issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and therefore, to continue as a going concern. The Sixth Modification requires the Company to execute certain actions including the conditional purchase of the term loans by Superhero Acquisition, L.P., an existing lender in the Company’s Convertible Facility, also covenants related to strategic actions the Company must implement it if it is unable to pay the term loans by the extended maturity date. The Company plans to continue to fund its operations through the implementation of its strategic cost savings plan, the various strategic actions which may include divesting of non-core assets, as well continuing its on-going revenue strategy of market expansion and retail revenue growth. If the above conditional purchase of the term loans and/or the strategic actions, for any reason, are inaccessible, it would have a significantly negative effect on the Company’s financial condition. Additionally, we expect to continue to manage the Company’s operating expenses and reduce its projected cash requirements through reduction of its expenses by delaying new store development, permanently or temporarily closing stores that are deemed performing below expectations, and/or implementing other restructuring activities. Furthermore, COVID-19 and the impact the global pandemic has had and will continue to have on the broader retail environment could also have a significant impact on the Company’s financial operations. As of December 25, 2021, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern. 

 

The following table summarizes certain aspects of the Company’s financial condition as of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020:

 

   June 26,   June 27,         
($ in Millions)  2021   2020   $ Change   % Change

Working Capital Deficit  $(191.9)  $(110.1)  $(81.8)   74%

 

As of June 26, 2021, the Company had $11.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $191.9 million of working capital deficit, compared to $9.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $110.1 million of working capital deficit as of June 27, 2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was associated with the Company’s continued focus on its cost rationalization strategy and the Company’s turnaround plan. During the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, the Company stabilized liquidity by successfully accessing the equity and debt capital markets to properly position the Company for growth. In addition, the Company has the support of certain lenders, including Gotham Green Partners, Stable Road Capital and affiliates, and its most significant landlord, Treehouse Real Estate Investment Trust, as a part of its financial restructuring and turnaround plan to support the expansion of the Company’s retail footprint. On July 2, 2020, the Company amended the Convertible Facility and 2018 Term Loan wherein all interest payable through June 2021 will be paid-in-kind. Further, on July 2, 2020, the Company also amended its lease terms with the REIT wherein a portion of the total current monthly base rent will be deferred for the 36-month period between July 1, 2020 and July 1, 2023.

 

The $81.8 million increase in working capital deficit was primarily related to an increase of $24.7 million assets held for sale related to the Company’s divestiture of non-core assets during the year ended June 26, 2021, an increase of $2.3 million in cash as described above, and a decrease of $3.1 million in due from related party as individuals previously identified as related party as of June 27, 2020 were no longer deemed related as of June 26, 2021. The net increase in current liabilities was due to the an increase of $87.3 million in current notes payable primarily related the senior secured term loan with Hankey Capital LLC, an increase of $18.1 million in liabilities held for sale, and a $21.4 million increase in income taxes payable, offset by a decrease of $19.5 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The Company’s working capital will be significantly impacted by continued growth in retail operations, operationalizing existing licenses, and the success of the Company’s cost-cutting measures. The ability to fund working capital needs will also be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional debt and equity financing.

 

The following table summarizes certain aspects of the Company’s financial condition as of December 25, 2021 and June 26, 2021:

 

    December 25,     June 26,

As of December 25, 2021, the Company had $47.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $191.2 million of working capital deficit, compared to $11.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $191.9 million of working capital deficit as of June 26, 2021. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due the $100.0 million Private Placement during the fiscal first quarter of 2022 which helped stabilize liquidity and will allow the Company to prioritize new market opportunities and existing operations over near-term balance sheet management. In addition, on August 17, 2021, the Company amended the Convertible Facility wherein the maturity date was extended to August 17, 2028 and any cash interest obligation was eliminated, instead providing for paid-in-kind interest. The $6.8 million decrease in working capital deficit was primarily related to an increase of $35.8 million in cash as described above and an increase of $1.6 million in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses. The increase in current liabilities was due to an increase of $14.3 million in derivative liabilities related to the top-up provision of the Convertible Facility and the Short-Term Warrant under the Private Placement recognized during the fiscal first quarter of 2022, an increase of $18.4 million in current notes payable primarily related to the existing senior secured term loan, and an increase of $15.7 million in income taxes payable, offset by a $3.4 million decrease in other current liabilities related to a decrease in acquisition payable as a result of settlements during the current period and a decrease in accrued interest payable as a result of the Sixth Amendment of the Convertible Facility. The Company’s working capital will be significantly impacted by continued growth in retail operations, the operationalization of existing licenses, and the continued stewardship of the Company’s financial resources. The ability to fund working capital needs will also be dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional debt and equity financing.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of the business, including operationalizing existing licenses, capital expenditures, debt service and acquisitions. The primary source of liquidity has primarily been private and/or public financing and to a lesser extent by cash generated from sales. The ability to fund operations, to make planned capital expenditures, to execute on the growth/acquisition strategy, to make scheduled debt and rent payments and to repay or refinance indebtedness depends on the Company’s future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond its control. 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.

 

As of June 26, 2021, the Company had $11.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $191.9 million of working capital deficit, compared to $9.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $110.1 million of working capital deficit as of June 27, 2020. For the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, the Company’s monthly burn rate, which was calculated as cash spent per month in operating activities, was approximately $5.0 million compared to a monthly burn rate of approximately $9.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020. During the fiscal year ending June 26, 2021, management continued their efforts of executing the Company’s strategic plan to limit significant cash outlays and reduce the overall cash burn. As of June 26, 2021, cash generated from ongoing operations may not be sufficient to fund operations and, in particular, to fund the Company’s growth strategy in the short-term or long-term.

During the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021, management focused its efforts on a disciplined turnaround plan which has allowed the Company’s story to turn from one of turnaround to one of growth. Subsequent to June 26, 2021, management preserved its strategic plan, which includes, but is not limited to, capital raised subsequent to year-end, monitoring of corporate-level expenses, and rationalization of capital expenditures to correlate to our new store opening strategy. The Company maintains its focus on the optimization of SG&A expenses while improving overall efficiency and attracting world-class talent. Revisions to its dynamic pricing model has resulted in gains and management constantly seeks improvements in its cost structure to achieve better margins. The Company is focused on improving its supply chain and cultivation facilities to increase manufacturing consistency and cultivation yields to drive additional gains in EBITDA, particularly in Florida where they have expanded their cultivation capacity while improving the quality of flower production. Management believes the Florida market is an exciting area for expansion as MedMen executes against a disciplined growth plan. To further drive revenue growth, ongoing initiatives include marketing campaigns and digital media to drive retail traffic, investment in its delivery program by offering service enhancements, and revamped assortment to serve customers at higher volume and rate. In addition, capital raised subsequent to year-end has given MedMen the cash and flexibility to continue the expansion of its retail footprint. Prior to U.S. federal legalization of cannabis, and subject to compliance with applicable laws and stock exchange rules, MedMen will actively explore opportunities to expand MedMen’s footprint across international markets. The Company continues to execute on its plan to achieve its growth and profitability goals and explore additional strategic opportunities.

 

The Company continues to explore avenues of raising additional funds from debt and equity financing subsequent to June 26, 2021 to mitigate any potential liquidity risk. The Company intends to continue raising capital by utilizing debt and equity financings on an as needed basis. Management evaluated its financial condition as of June 26, 2021 in conjunction with recent financings and transactions which provide capital subsequent to the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021 as discussed below.

 

Amendment and Extension of Gotham Green Convertible Notes

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company announced that Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”) acquired a majority of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes under the Convertible Facility (the “Notes”) from Gotham Green Partners, LLC and other funds. Under the terms of the transaction, a newly formed limited partnership (the “SPV”) established by Tilray and other strategic investors acquired an aggregate principal amount of approximately $165.8 million of the Notes and warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Facility, all of which were originally issued by MedMen and held by GGP, representing 75% of the outstanding Notes and 65% of the outstanding warrants under the Convertible Facility. Specifically, Tilray’s interest in the SPV represents rights to 68% of the Notes and related warrants held by the SPV, which are convertible into, and exercisable for, approximately 21% of the outstanding Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of MedMen upon closing of the transaction. Tilray’s ability to convert the Notes and exercise the warrants is dependent upon U.S. federal legalization of cannabis or Tilray’s waiver of such requirement as well as any additional regulatory approvals.

 

In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company amended and restated the Convertible Facility (“Sixth Amendment”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date to August 17, 2028, eliminate any cash interest obligations and instead provide for payment-in-kind interest, eliminate certain repricing provisions, and eliminate and revise certain restrictive covenants. The amendments are intended to provide MedMen the flexibility to execute on its growth priorities and explore additional strategic opportunities. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, accrued payment-in-kind interest on the Notes will be convertible at price equal to the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares. The Notes may not be prepaid until the federal legalization of marijuana. The Notes will also provide the holders with a top-up right to acquire additional Subordinate Voting Shares and a pre-emptive right with respect to future financings of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, upon the issuance by MedMen of certain equity or equity-linked securities. No changes have been made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Notes or related Warrants.

 

$100 Million Equity Investment and Backstop Commitment

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various investors led by Serruya Private Equity Inc. (“SPE”) to purchase $100,000,000 of units of the Company at a purchase price of $0.24 per unit (the “August 2021 Private Placement”) wherein certain investors associated with SPE agreed to backstop the August 2021 Private Placement (the “Backstop Commitment”). The proceeds from the August 2021 Private Placement will allow MedMen to expand its operations in key markets such as California, Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts and identify and accelerate further growth opportunities across the United States.

 

67

 

Each unit consists of one Subordinate Voting Share and one-quarter share purchase warrant (each, an “August 2021 Warrant”). Each whole August 2021 Warrant permits the holder to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.288 per share. Each unit issued to certain SPE purchasers consists of one Subordinate Voting Share and one-quarter of one August 2021 Warrant plus a proportionate interest in a short-term subscription right (the “Short-Term Subscription Right”) which expires on December 31, 2021. The Short-Term Subscription Right entitles the holders to acquire, at the option of the holders and upon payment of $30,000,000, an aggregate of 125,000,000 units at an exercise price of $0.24 per unit, or $30,000,000 principal amount of notes at par, convertible into 125,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares at a conversion price of $0.24 per share. The Company will use any proceeds from exercise of the Short-Term Subscription Right to pay down an existing debt instrument. In consideration for the Backstop Commitment, certain investors associated with SPE received a fee of $2,500,000 paid in the form of 10,416,666 Subordinate Voting Shares at a deemed price of $0.24 per share.

 

Partnership with Foundry Works, Inc.

 

On October 1, 2021, the Company announced that LitHouse Farms, a subsidiary of Foundry Works, Inc. (“Foundry”), will manage its cultivation and manufacturing operations at its facilities in Desert Hot Springs, California (“DHS”) and Sparks, Nevada (“Sparks”). Licensed operations at the facilities will be carried on under management agreements which include purchase options for nominal consideration, subject to regulatory approval. Concurrent with the transaction, Foundry entered into a sublease agreement for DHS worth approximately $3,200,000 per year beginning in its first year, increasing to approximately $4,600,000 per year in its sixth year, subject to 3% annual escalators thereafter through March 2039. Foundry also entered into a sublease agreement for Sparks worth approximately $2,400,000 per year beginning in its first year, increasing to approximately $3,400,000 per year in its sixth year, subject to 3% annual escalators thereafter through January 2039. The cash flow accretive partnership will help reduce the significant fixed costs associated with the facilities. For the six months ended December 25, 2021, the Company’s monthly burn rate, which was calculated as cash spent per month in operating activities, was approximately $8.3 million compared to a monthly burn rate of approximately $5.1 million for the six months ended December 26, 2020. During the fiscal first quarter of 2022, the Company shifted its focus from a turnaround plan that took place during fiscal year 2021, which resulted in the divestiture of non-core assets and lease modifications, and turned to a growth plan with new capital to capitalize on further opportunities. As of December 25, 2021, cash generated from ongoing operations may not be sufficient to fund operations and, in particular, to fund the Company’s growth strategy in the short-term or long-term. The restructuring of the Convertible Facility and the successful closing of the Private Placement with investors led by SPE during the fiscal first quarter of 2022 stabilized the Company’s liquidity and properly positions the Company for growth to profitability. Management evaluated its financial condition as of December 25, 2021 in conjunction with recent transactions which free up capital subsequent to the current reporting period as discussed below.

 

Sixth Modification to Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

 

On January 3, 2022, the Company announced the termination of the investment agreement to sell a controlling interest in the Company’s operations in the state of New York. Refer to “Note 22 – Discontinued Operations” for further information. Subsequently, the third party filed a complaint against the Company seeking specific performance of the investment agreement. Sixth Modification to Senior Secured Term Loan Facility On February 2, 2022, the Company executed the Sixth Modification to its Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, (the “Sixth Modification”), with Hankey Capital, LLC, (the “Lender) extending the maturity date and making certain amendments to the Commercial Loan Agreement, dated October 1, 2018, as amended, restated, supplemented, and/or as modified. As of December 25, 2021, the date of these financial statements, and as of February 2, 2022, the date of the Sixth Modification, the outstanding amounts due are approximately $113,600 and $114,300, respectively. The Sixth Modification extends the stated maturity date of January 31, 2022 of the Facility for a period of six months; specifically, July 31, 2022 with respect to Facility, and August 1, 2022 with respect to the incremental term loans (collectively, the “Term Loans”). The Sixth Modification makes no modification to the current interest rate. The Sixth Modification provides that the definitive documentation with respect to the conditional purchase of the Term Loans by Superhero Acquisition, L.P., an existing lender under the Company’s Senior Secured Convertible Purchase Agreement dated August 7, 2021, must be entered within 45 days or the stated maturity date of the Term Loans become due. Refer to “Note 10 – Notes Payable” for further information about the debt due to the lender. The Sixth Modification requires that the Company make a mandatory prepayment of at least $37,500 in the event the sale of certain assets and imposes covenants in regards strategic actions the Company must implement if it is unable to pay the Term Loans by the extended stated maturity date. The Company agreed to prepay $20,000 on the Term Loans and pay a fee of $1,000 to the Term Loan lenders in consideration of the Sixth Modification, which fee will be paid in Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (“Shares”) with a deemed price of $0.1247 (C$0.1582) for a total of 8,021,593 Shares (the “Fee Shares”), with any difference in realized net proceeds that is less than $1,000 from the sale of the Fee Shares during a 30-day period, to the extent such Fee Shares are sold, reimbursed in cash. The Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 registering for resale the Fee Shares. The issuance of the Fee Shares as part of the Sixth Modification triggered the right of holders of convertible notes under the Convertible Facility to be issued five-year warrants in order to maintain their pro rata ownership interest (on a partially diluted basis) in the Shares. A total of 6,682,567 warrants (the “Top-up Warrants”), each entitling the holder to purchase one Share at a purchase price of $0.1247 (C$0.1582), will be issued to the holders of convertible notes under the Convertible Facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on its results of operations, financial condition, revenues or expenses, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments and Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

A detailed description of our critical accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements are detailed in the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in this prospectus.

 

The Company makes judgments, estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and 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 review affects both current and future periods.

 

The preparation of the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of total net revenue and expenses during the reporting period which are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results the Company experiences may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

 

Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements are described below.

 

Depreciation of Property and Equipment

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the terms and methods in accordance with GAAP. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.

 

Amortization of Intangible Assets

 

Amortization of intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives and residual values which are determined through the exercise of judgment. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions.

 

Inventory Valuation

 

The Company periodically reviews physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserves. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written down to net realizable value. The reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is dependent on expected future use.

 

69

 

Business Combinations

 

In a business combination, all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are accounted for using the acquisition method. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities. Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Management exercises judgment in estimating the probability and timing of when earn-outs are expected to be achieved which is used as the basis for estimating fair value. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies”, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. 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.

 

Convertible Instruments and Derivative Liabilities

 

The identification of components embedded within financial instruments is based on interpretations of the substance of the contractual arrangement and therefore requires judgment from management. The separation of the components affects the initial recognition of the financial instruments at issuance and the subsequent recognition of interest on the liability component. Where the conversion option has a variable conversion rate, the conversion option is recognized as a derivative liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The instrument is recognized as a financial liability and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The determination of the fair value of the liability is also based on a number of assumptions, including contractual future cash flows, discount rates and the presence of any derivative financial instruments.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or the Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of equity-based grants. 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 Impairment, Other Intangible Assets, Long-Lived Assets and Purchase Asset Valuations

 

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill has been impaired. In the impairment test, the Company measures the recoverability of goodwill by comparing a reporting unit’s carrying amount to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined based upon the assignment of the Company’s assets and liabilities, including existing goodwill, to the identified reporting units. The Company relies on a number of factors, including historical results, business plans, forecasts and market data. Changes in the conditions for these judgments and estimates can significantly affect the recoverable amount.

 

Long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, are tested annually for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Once a triggering event has occurred, the impairment test employed is based on whether the intent is to hold the asset for continued use or to hold the asset for sale. The impairment test for assets held for use requires a comparison of cash flows expected to be generated over the useful life of an asset group to the carrying value of the asset group. An asset group is established by identifying the lowest level of cash flows generated by a group of assets that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and could include assets used across multiple businesses or segments. If the carrying value of an asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment would be measured as the difference between the fair value of the group’s long-lived assets and the carrying value of the group’s long-lived assets. The impairment is only to the extent the carrying value of each asset is above its fair value. For assets held for sale, to the extent the carrying value is greater than the asset’s fair value less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. Determining whether a long-lived asset is impaired requires various estimates and assumptions, including whether a triggering event has occurred, the identification of the asset groups, estimates of future cash flows and the discount rate used to determine fair values.

 

The estimates and assumptions used in management’s impairment analysis are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about its impairment analysis. The impairment estimates and assumptions bear the risk of change due to its inherent nature and subjectivity. The unanticipated effects of a longer or more severe COVID-19 outbreaks and decreases in consumer demand could reasonably expected to negatively affect the key assumptions and estimates.

Deferred Tax Assets

 

Deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax loss carryforwards, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.

 

Income Taxes

 

Current tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that the Company believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence are considered, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If it is determined that the Company would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded, which would reduce the provision for income taxes

 

Uncertain tax positions are recorded in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

 

Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities

 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and related restoration costs. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimates of economic life. The Company’s lease liability is recognized net of lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The period over which the lease payments are discounted is the expected lease term, including renewal and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Refer to “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 included in this prospectus.

 

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

 

Assets held for sale are 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 ASC 360. FVLCTS is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction, less the costs of disposal. A component of an entity is identified as operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and financially, from the rest of the entity. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale.

Down Round Features

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260)” wherein the amendments change the classification of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, the value of the effect of the down round feature is measured as the difference in fair value of the financial instrument without the down round feature with a strike price corresponding to the stated strike price versus the reduced strike price upon the down round feature being triggered. The fair value is measured in accordance with the measurement guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” in which the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes pricing model. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). During the year ended June 26, 2021, a down round feature present in the Convertible Facility and the 2020 Term Loan was triggered. Refer to Note 18 and Note 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended June 26, 2021 included in this prospectus.

 

Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations

 

Under ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations”, interest on debt that is to be assumed by the buyer and interest on debt that is required to be repaid as a result of a disposal transaction is allocated to discontinued operations. The amount of interest expense reclassified to discontinued operations is directly related to the amount of debt that will be repaid with funds received from the sale of discontinued operations. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company classified its New York operations as discontinued operations as a result of definitive agreements wherein the aggregate proceeds will be assigned to the lender of the 2020 Term Loan in partial satisfaction of the outstanding debt. Refer to Note 28 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended June 26, 2021 included in this prospectus. The Company elected not to reclassify other interest expenses which are not directly attributable to discontinued operations as permitted under ASC 205-20.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Section 2(a) of the Exchange Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period and as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

 

Overview of Executive Compensation

 

The Board is authorized to review and approve annually all compensation decisions relating to the executive officers of the Company. In accordance with reduced disclosure rules applicable to emerging growth companies as set forth in Item 402 of Regulation S-K, this section explains how the Company’s compensation program is structured for its Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (the “named executive officers”).

 

Compensation Governance

 

The Board has not adopted any formal policies or procedures to determine the compensation of the Company’s directors or executive officers. The compensation of the directors and executive officers is determined by the Board, based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. Recommendations of the Compensation Committee are made giving consideration to the objectives discussed below and, if applicable, considering applicable industry data.

 

The role and responsibility of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for establishing compensation philosophy and guidelines. Additionally, the Compensation Committee has responsibility for fixing compensation levels for the directors and executive officers and for entering into employment, severance protection, change in control and related agreements and plans for the CEO and other executive officers, provided that any individual agreement with the CEO is subject to Board approval. In addition, the Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing the Stock and Incentive Plan (as hereinafter defined) and proposing changes thereto, approving any awards of options under the Stock and Incentive Plan and recommending any other employee benefit plans, incentive awards and perquisites with respect to the directors and executive officers. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for reviewing, approving and reporting to the Board annually (or more frequently as required) on the Company’s succession plans for its executive officers.

 

The Compensation Committee endeavors to ensure that the philosophy and operation of the Company’s compensation program reinforces its culture and values, creates a balance between risk and reward, attracts, motivates and retains executive officers over the long-term and aligns their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. In addition, the Compensation Committee is to review the Company’s annual disclosure regarding executive compensation for inclusion where appropriate in the Company’s disclosure documents.

 

Elements of Compensation

 

Base Salary

 

Base salary is the fixed portion of each executive officer’s total compensation. It is designed to provide income certainty. In determining the base level of compensation for the executive officers, weight is placed on the following factors: the particular responsibilities related to the position, salaries or fees paid by companies of similar size in the industry, level of experience of the executive and overall performance and the time which the executive officer is required to devote to the Company in fulfilling his or her responsibilities.

 

Short-Term Incentive Awards

 

A cash incentive payment or bonus is a short-term incentive that is intended to reward each executive officer for his or her individual contribution and performance of personal objectives in the context of overall corporate performance. Cash bonuses are designed to motivate executive officers to achieve personal business objectives and to be accountable for their relative contribution to the Company’s performance, as well as to attract and retain executives. In determining compensation and, in particular, bonuses, the Compensation Committee and the Board consider factors over which the executive officer can exercise control, such as their role in identifying and completing acquisitions and integrating such acquisitions into the Company’s business, meeting any budget targets established by controlling costs, taking successful advantage of business opportunities and enhancing the competitive and business prospects of the Company.

 

78

 

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

 

Long-term incentives are intended to align the interests of the Company’s directors and executive officers with those of the shareholders and to provide a long-term incentive that rewards these parties for their contribution to the creation of shareholder value. In establishing the number of, Long-Term Incentive Plan Units, (“LTIP”), nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”), incentive stock options (“ISOs”) (collectively, “Options”) and restricted stock units (“RSU Awards”) to be granted, reference is made to the recommendations made by the Compensation Committee as well as, from time to time, the number of similar awards granted to officers and directors of other publicly-traded companies of similar size in the same business as the Company. The Compensation Committee and the Board also consider previous grants of Options or RSU Awards and the overall number of Options or RSU Awards that are outstanding relative to the number of outstanding securities in determining whether to make any new grants of Options or RSU Awards and the size and terms of any such grants. With respect to executive officers, the Compensation Committee and the Board also consider the level of effort, time, responsibility, ability, experience and level of commitment of the executive officer in determining the level of long-term equity incentive awards. With respect to directors, the Compensation Committee and the Board also consider committee assignments and committee chair responsibilities, as well as the overall time requirements of the Board members in determining the level of long-term equity incentive awards.

Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility

 

As discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business - Recent Developments”, in April 2019, the Company entered into a senior secured convertible credit facility (the “Convertible Facility”) to provide up to $250.0 million in gross proceeds, arranged by Gotham Green Partners (“GGP”). The Convertible Facility is accessed through issuances by the Company to the lenders of convertible senior secured notes with an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum (“Facility Notes”). In connection with the Convertible Facility, the Company has also issued share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase Subordinate Voting Shares. During fiscal years ended June 27, 2020 and June 26, 2021, the Convertible Facility was amended at various times modifying certain covenants, amending the conversion and exercise prices of securities issued pursuant to the Convertible Facility, cancelling and issuing new warrants and providing additional financing with the issuance of Facility Notes. As of June 26, 2021, there was outstanding $219.6 million of Facility Notes, including accrued interest, with a weighted average conversion price of approximately $0.24 per share and an aggregate of 208,102,561 warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $0.37 per share.

 

Second Restatement

 

On July 2, 2020, the Company amended and restated the Convertible Facility (the “Second Restatement”) wherein the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until September 30, 2020 and resetting at $5,000,000 thereafter with incremental increases on March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021. The payment-in-kind feature on the Convertible Facility was also extended, such that 100% of the cash interest due prior to June 2021 will be paid-in-kind and 50% of the cash interest due thereafter will be paid-in-kind. The Second Restatement released certain assets from its collateral to allow greater flexibility to generate proceeds through the sale of non-core assets. The Second Restatement allowed for immediate prepayment of amounts under the Convertible Facility with a 5% prepayment penalty until 2nd anniversary of the Second Restatement and 3% prepayment penalty thereafter. As part of the Second Restatement, holders of Facility Notes were provided down-round protection where issuances of equity interests (including securities that are convertible or exchangeable for equity interests) by the Company at less than the higher of (i) lowest conversion price under the amended and restated notes of the Convertible Facility amendment dated March 27, 2020 and (ii) the highest conversion price determined for any incremental advances, will automatically adjust the conversion/exercise price of the previous tranches and incremental tranche 4 warrants and the related replacement warrants to the price of the newly issued equity interests. Certain issuances of equity interests were exempted such as issuances to existing lenders, equity interests in contemplation at the time of Second Restatement and equity interests issued to employees, consultants, directors, advisors or other third parties, in exchange for goods and services or compensation. As consideration for the amendment, the conversion price for 52% of the tranches 1 through 3 and the first amendment fee notes outstanding under the Convertible Facility were amended to $0.34 per share. An amendment fee of $2,000,000 was also paid through the issuance of additional notes at a conversion price of $0.28 per share.

 

Pursuant to a side letter executed on July 2, 2020 in conjunction with the Second Restatement, Wicklow Capital and GGP had the right to approve director nominees submitted by the Company. See “Note 19 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” for a full disclosure of transactions and balances related to GGP during the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021.

On September 14, 2020, the Company was advanced an additional $5,000,000 in gross proceeds (the “Incremental Advance”) under the Convertible Facility and the Company issued additional Facility Notes with a conversion price per share of $0.20. In connection with the Incremental Advance, the Company issued 25,000,000 Facility Warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share. In addition, 1,080,255 existing Facility Warrants were cancelled and replaced with 16,875,001 Facility Warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Facility, the conversion price for 5.0% of the existing Facility Notes outstanding prior to Tranche 4 and Incremental Advance (including paid-in-kind interest accrued on such Notes), being 5.0% of an aggregate principal amount of $170,729,923, was amended to $0.20 per share. As consideration for the additional advance, the Company also issued convertible notes as consideration for a $468,564 fee with a conversion price of $0.20 per share.

 

The Convertible Facility was also amended to include, among other things, a modification to the minimum liquidity covenant, which extends the period during which it is waived from September 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The minimum liquidity threshold resets to $5.0 million thereafter to $7.5 million effective on March 31, 2021 and then to $15.0 million effective on December 31, 2021.

 

On September 16, 2020 and September 28, 2020, the down round feature on the Facility Notes and Facility Warrants issued in connection with Tranche 4, Incremental Advances and certain amendment fees was triggered wherein the exercise price was adjusted to $0.17 and $0.15 per share, respectively.

 

Third Restatement

 

On January 11, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Convertible Facility (the “Third Restatement”) pursuant to which the Company received an additional advance of $10.0 million evidenced by the issuance of Facility Notes with a conversion price of $0.1608 per Subordinate Voting Share. In connection with the Third Restatement, the Company paid a fee of $937,127, which amount is also evidenced by the issuance of Facility Notes with a conversion price of $0.1608 per Share. The Company also issued 62,174,567 Facility Warrants exercisable for five years at a purchase price of $0.1608 per Share. The Facility Notes, and Facility Warrants issued pursuant to the Third Restatement included down round adjustment provisions, with certain exceptions, if the Company issued securities at a lower price.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Third Restatement, of the $168.1 million Facility Notes outstanding prior to Tranche 4 and the Incremental Advances thereunder (including paid-in-kind interest accrued on such notes), the conversion price of $47.1 million of the Facility Notes was changed to $0.17 per share ($16.8 million of which continued to be subject to down round adjustment provisions), and the Company cancelled an aggregate of 2,160,507 Facility Warrants that were issued with such notes and, in exchange, issued 41,967,832 Facility Warrants with an exercise price of $0.1608 per share.

 

At the time of the Third Restatement, the Convertible Facility included certain negative covenants, including restrictions on incurring liens and debt, sale of assets, conducting mergers, investments and affiliate transactions and making certain payments. The Convertible Facility was also amended to, among other things, modify the minimum liquidity covenant, which extended the period during which it was waived from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021, reset the minimum liquidity threshold to $7.5 million effective on July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, and $15.0 million thereafter, and waived of the minimum liquidity covenant if the Company is current on cash interest. Furthermore, covenants with regards to non-operating leases, capital expenditures and corporate SG&A were tied to a board of directors approved budget.

 

As a result of issuances of convertible debentures pursuant to the Company’s unsecured convertible debenture facility entered into on September 16, 2020, under the terms of the Convertible Facility (prior to the Third Restatement), the conversion prices of a total of approximately $63.9 million Facility Notes and the exercise prices of 130,804,447 Facility Warrants were reduced to $0.1529 per share.

 

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement letter (the “Waiver”) with GGP wherein the Company received reprieve from certain potential non-compliance with certain covenants under the Third Restatement dated January 11, 2021, such as potential non-compliance with certain reporting and notice requirements, pay certain liabilities when due, deliver control agreements for certain bank accounts, obtain consent from the lenders prior to hiring certain executives, obtain consent from the lenders for certain matters and related items. No amounts were paid by the Company for the Waiver. Refer to “Note 19 - Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility”, “Note 26 - Related Party Transactions” and “Note 29 - Subsequent Events” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 included in this prospectus.

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated Convertible Facility (“Fourth Restatement”) pursuant to which certain terms were amended, including among other things, extension of the maturity date of the Facility Notes to August 17, 2028, elimination of any cash interest payable and instead providing for paid-in-kind interest, elimination of certain repricing provisions that apply to the Facility Notes and the Facility Warrants, elimination of and revision to certain restrictive covenants and amendment to the minimum liquidity covenant. Accrued paid-in-kind interest will be convertible at the higher of (i) the per Share volume-weighted average price of the Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (or, if not listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, such other recognized stock exchange or quotation system on which the Shares are listed for trading) for the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session over the 30 consecutive trading days prior to and including the relevant interest payment date, determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours, and (ii) the price per share determined using the lowest discounted price available pursuant to the pricing policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange or otherwise permitted by the Canadian Securities Exchange. Following the Fourth Restatement, (i) the Facility Notes held by the holders on the effective date of the Fourth Restatement may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the collateral agent until legalization of the general cultivation, distribution and possession of marijuana at the federal level in the United States, or the removal of the regulation of such activities from the U.S. federal laws, following which any such prepayment shall require no less than six months’ notice from MedMen to the holders of such Facility Notes. The Convertible Facility continues to include affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the following: incurring liens and debt, selling assets, conducting mergers, investments and affiliate transactions and making certain equity distributions, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. No changes were made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Facility Notes or Facility Warrants.

 

The Fourth Restatement also provides the holders of the Facility Notes with a top-up right upon the issuance by MedMen of certain Subordinate Voting Shares, or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Subordinate Voting Shares, in the form of warrants to acquire additional Subordinate Voting Shares, intended generally to maintain their “as converted” equity interest, and a pre-emptive right with respect to certain future equity financings of the Company, subject to certain exceptions.

 

An event of default may result in the accelerated maturity of all amounts outstanding under the Facility Notes and also an increase in the interest rate under the Convertible Facility by up to 3% per annum. An event of default includes but is not limited to failure to pay any amounts owed pursuant to the Convertible Facility, failure to comply with covenants, the filing of certain judgements and liens against the Company, filing of bankruptcy, prohibition by a governmental authority to conduct the Company’s material business or a material adverse change to business, loss of a cannabis license that results in a material adverse effect, default under any material agreement, a change of control, or de-listing for a securities stock exchange.

 

In connection with the Fourth Restatement, a newly formed limited partnership (the “Superhero LP”) established by Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”) and other strategic investors, acquired an aggregate principal amount of approximately $165.8 million of the Facility Notes and 135,266,664 Facility Warrants, all of which were originally issued by MedMen and held by certain funds associated with GGP and certain other investors. The Company granted Tilray the right to appoint two non-voting observers to the Company’s board of directors.

 

In connection with the Amendment and Restatement, the Company and its subsidiaries, the existing holders of Facility Notes, and certain of the investors in the August 2021 Private Placement (as discussed below) entered into a Mutual Release dated August 17, 2021 with respect to the transactions described above, the Third Restatement and any predecessor documents.

 

On August 17, 2021, Superhero Acquisition, L.P., in which Tilray is an investor, acquired the majority of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes and warrants held by GGP and GGP no longer held significant influence over the Company and therefore as of September 25, 2021, was not considered a related party under ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” (“ASC 850”), however GGP was during the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021. As of August 17, 2021, the Company determined Tilray to be a related party as a result of Tilray having significant influence over the Company. See “Note 11 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” for a full disclosure of the SPV and A&R 4.

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered an equity investment through private placement led by SPE. In connection with the private placement, the Company appointed Michael Serruya, SPE’s Managing Director, as a member of its board of directors. As of August 17, 2021, the Company determined SPE to be a related party as a result of the private placement and involvement with the Board. See “Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity” for discussion on the private placement transaction. In November 2021, the Company appointed Mr. Serruya as Chairman of the Board and interim Chief Executive Officer.

$100 Million Equity Investment

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various investors, including a backstop letter agreement (the “Backstop Commitment”) with investors associated Serruya Private Equity Inc. (“SPE”), to purchase $100 million of units of MedMen at a purchase price of $0.24 per unit (the “August 2021 Private Placement”). Each unit consisted of one Subordinate Voting Share and one quarter share purchase warrant (each, a “August 2021 Warrant”). Each whole August 2021 Warrant permits the holder to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.288 per Share. In consideration for providing the Backstop Commitment, the applicable SPE investors received a fee of $2.5 million paid in the form of 10,416,666 Subordinate Voting Shares at a deemed price of $0.24 per Share. Pursuant to the August 2021 Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 416,666,640 Subordinate Voting Shares and August 2021 Warrants to purchase 104,166,660 Subordinate Voting Shares, including 18,054,620 Subordinate Voting Shares and August 2021 Warrants to purchase 4,318,341 Subordinate Voting Shares to S5 Holdings Limited Liability Company, which is controlled by Michael Serruya, a director of MedMen.

 

Each unit issued to certain funds associated with SPE also included a proportionate interest in a short-term subscription right (the “Short-Term Subscription Right”). The Short-Term Subscription Right entitles the holders to acquire, on payment of $30 million, at the option of the holders, an aggregate of 125,000,000 units at an exercise price of $0.24 per unit, or $30 million principal amount of notes at par, convertible into 125,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares at a conversion price of $0.24 per share. The Company will use any proceeds from exercise of the Short-Term Subscription Right to pay down an existing debt instrument.

 

Board Nomination Rights Agreements

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered into a Board Nomination Rights Agreement (the “S5 Holdings Nomination Agreement”) with S5 Holdings LLC (“S5 Holdings”) pursuant to which so long as S5 Holdings’ diluted ownership percentage of MedMen (including the proportionate equity ownership of securities held by the SPV) is at least 9%, S5 Holdings will be entitled to designate one individual to be nominated to serve as a director of the Company, which S5 Holdings has initially designated as Michael Serruya.

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered into a Board Nomination Rights Agreement with Gotham Green Partners, LLC (the “GGP Nomination Agreement”) pursuant to which so long as GGP and certain associated investors’ diluted ownership percentage of MedMen is at least 10%, GGP will be entitled to designate one individual to be nominated to serve as a director of the Company.

Mr. Rose is the Chief Investment Officer of Wicklow Capital, Inc.

In August 2019, GGP and Wicklow Capital completed a $30.0 million non-brokered financing of Subordinate Voting Shares at a price equal to $2.37 per share wherein the Company issued 14,634,147 Subordinate Voting Shares to the investors.

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors is composed of five “independent directors” as defined under the rules of NASDAQ. Although the Company’s securities are not listed on NASDAQ, solely for disclosure purposes in accordance with SEC rules, we use the definition of “independence” of NASDAQ to make this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

  the director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the company;

 

  the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

 

  the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);

 

  the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three (3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

 

  the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three (3) years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the Company’s audit.

 

Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that Mel Elias, Cameron Smith, Ed Record, and David Hsu are all independent directors of the Company. However, our shares are not currently quoted or listed on any national exchange or interdealer quotation system with a requirement that a majority of our Board be independent and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements, other than as may be required pursuant to rules of the CSE.

Certain Provisions of Our Charter Documents and British Columbia Law

 

Anti-takeover Provisions of our Articles

 

In addition to the board of directors’ ability to issue preferred shares, our Articles, as amended, contain other provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and which may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of our Company unless such takeover or change in control is approved by our board of directors.

 

Certain Provisions of Canadian Securities Law Governing Transactions

 

All provinces and territories of Canada have adopted National Instrument 62-104 entitled “Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids” and related forms to harmonize and consolidate take-over bid and issuer bid regimes nationally (“NI 62-104”). The Canadian Securities Administrators, or CSA, have also issued National Policy 62-203 entitled “Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids” (the “National Policy”) which contains regulatory guidance on the interpretation and application of certain provisions of NI 62-104 and on the conduct of parties involved in a bid. The National Policy and NI 62-104 are collectively referred to as the “Bid Regime.” The National Policy does not have the force of law, but is an indication by the CSA of what the intentions and desires of the regulators are in the areas covered by their instruments. Unlike some jurisdictions where the take-over bid rules are primarily policy-driven, in Canada the regulatory framework for take-over bids is primarily rules-based, which rules are supported by policy.

 

A “take-over bid” is an offer to acquire outstanding voting or equity securities of a class made to any person who is in one of the provinces or territories of Canada or to any securityholder of an offeree issuer whose last address as shown on the books of the offeree issuer is in such province or territory, where the securities subject to the offer to acquire, together with the securities beneficially owned or controlled or directed by the offeror, or any other person acting jointly or in concert with the offeror, constitute in the aggregate 20% or more of the outstanding securities of that class of securities at the date of the offer to acquire. For the purposes of the Bid Regime, a security is deemed to be beneficially owned by an offeror as of a specific date if the offeror is the beneficial owner of a security convertible into the security within 60 days following that date, or has a right or obligation permitting or requiring the offeror, whether or not on conditions, to acquire beneficial ownership of the security within 60 days by a single transaction or a series of linked transactions. Offerors are also subject to early warning requirements, where an offeror who acquires beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, voting or equity securities of any class of a reporting issuer or securities convertible into voting or equity securities of any class of the reporting issuer that, together with the offeror’s securities, would constitute 10% or more of the outstanding securities of that class must promptly publicly issue and file a news release containing certain prescribed information, and, within two business days, file an early warning report containing substantially the same information as is contained in the news release and certain additional prescribed information.

 

89

 

In addition, where an offeror is required to file an early warning report and the offeror acquires or disposes of beneficial ownership of, or the power to exercise control or direction over, an additional 2% or more of the outstanding securities of the class or securities convertible into 2% or more of the outstanding securities of the class, or disposes of beneficial ownership of or control or direction over outstanding securities of the class to below 10%, the offeror must issue an additional press release and file a new early warning report. Any material change in a previously filed early warning report also triggers the issuance and filing of a new press release and early warning report. During the period commencing on the occurrence of an event in respect of which an early warning report is required and terminating on the expiry of one business day from the date that the early warning report is filed, the offeror may not acquire or offer to acquire beneficial ownership or control or direction of any securities of the class in respect of which the early warning report was required to be filed or any securities convertible into securities of that class. This requirement does not apply to an offeror that has beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, securities that comprise 20% of more of the outstanding securities of the class.

 

Business combinations, related party transactions, issuer bids and insider bids are subject to additional regulation that may differ depending on the particular jurisdiction of Canada in which it occurs.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

MedMen Enterprises Inc, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “MedMen”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a premier cannabis retailer based in the U.S. with an operational footprint in California, Nevada, Illinois, Arizona, Massachusetts, Florida, and New York. MedMen offers a robust selection of high-quality products, including MedMen-owned brands – MedMen Red and LuxLyte – through its premium retail stores, proprietary delivery service, as well as curbside and in-store pick up. MedMen Buds, an industry-first loyalty program, provides exclusive access to promotions, product drops and content.

 

As of December 25, 2021, the Company owns 29 store locations across California (12), Nevada (3), Illinois (1), Arizona (1), Massachusetts (1), Florida (7) and New York (4). In accordance with our planned growth strategy, during the second quarter we opened one new retail store in Boston’s famed Fenway Park area, officially entering Massachusetts cannabis market. Beginning on October 1, 2021, the Company no longer operates the cultivation and production facilities in California and Nevada pursuant to its management agreement with Foundry Works, Inc. In February 2021, the Company entered into an investment agreement to sell a controlling interest in MedMen NY, Inc. and thus classified all assets and liabilities and profit or loss allocable to its operations in the state of New York as discontinued operations. On January 3, 2022, the Company announced the termination of this investment agreement.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Preparation

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of MedMen Enterprises, its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, if any, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of and for the interim periods presented have been included.

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules for interim financial information. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 26, 2021, as filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

 

Going Concern

 

As of December 25, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $47.7 million and net working capital deficit of $191.2 million. The Company has incurred losses from continuing operations of $23.0 million and $57.5 million for the three and six months then ended, respectively, used cash in continued operating activities of $45.6 million so far in the first half of the year and anticipates that the Company will continue to incur losses until such time as revenues exceed operating costs. On January 31, 2022, the Company’s term loans of $113.6 million as of December 25, 2021 became due and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Sixth Modification to Senior Secured Term Loan”, or the “Sixth Modification”) with the lender to extend the maturity date until July 31, 2022 and August 1, 2021 for the various loans included in the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility. See “Note 10 – Notes Payable”, for additional information about the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, and “Note 23 – Subsequent Events” for more information about the Sixth Modification. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations for at least one year from the issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and therefore, to continue as a going concern.

 

The Sixth Modification requires the Company to execute certain actions including the conditional purchase of the term loans by Superhero Acquisition, L.P., an existing lender in the Company’s Senior Secured Convertible Purchase Agreement dated August 7, 2021 (the “Convertible Facility”), also covenants related to strategic actions the Company must implement it if it is unable to pay the term loans by the extended maturity date. The Company plans to continue to fund its operations through the implementation of its strategic cost savings plan, the various strategic actions, which may include divesting of non-core assets, as well continuing its on-going revenue strategy of market expansion and retail revenue growth. If the above conditional purchase of the term loans and/or the strategic actions, for any reason, are inaccessible, it would have a significantly negative effect on the Company’s financial condition. Additionally, we expect to continue to manage the Company’s operating expenses and reduce its projected cash requirements through reduction of its expenses by delaying new store development, permanently or temporarily closing stores that are deemed performing below expectations, and/or implementing other restructuring activities. Furthermore, COVID-19 and the impact the global pandemic has had and will continue to have on the broader retail environment could also have a significant impact on the Company’s financial operations.

 

As of December 25, 2021, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

COVID-19

 

Due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertain pace of recovery, including the impact of the Delta and Omicron variants, the Company’s business operations may be materially and adversely affected if a significant number of the Company’s employees are impacted by the virus. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.

(Amounts Expressed in Thousands of United States Dollars, Except for Share and Per Share Data)

 

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company either has a controlling voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. A complete list of our subsidiaries that existed prior to our most recent year-end is included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

 

During the fiscal second quarter of 2022, the Company effectuated the Management Agreement with an unrelated third party and no longer has a controlling financial interest in previously consolidated entities, Manlin DHS Development, LLC (“DHS”) and Project Mustang Development, LLC (“Mustang”), and therefore these entities are no longer included in the Company’s financial statements. The deconsolidation did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Financial Statements.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies and critical estimates applied by the Company in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K, unless otherwise disclosed in these accompanying notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim period ended December 25, 2021.

 

Loss per Share

 

The Company calculates basic loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise convertible debentures, restricted stock units, warrants and stock options issued.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

8. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of derivative liabilities and change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the six months ended December 25, 2021 is as follows:

 

Schedule of reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of derivative liabilities and change in fair value of derivative liabilities        
    December 25,  
    2021  
Balance at Beginning of Period   $ 6,935  
         
Initial Recognition of Derivative Liabilities     30,501  
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities     (16,212 )
         
Balance at End of Period   $ 21,224  

 

On August 17, 2021, in connection with the amended and restated senior secured convertible credit facility (the Sixth Amendment”), the Company provided the note holders top-up and preemptive rights which were bifurcated from the related notes and classified as a derivative due to the variability of the number and price of shares issuable under these rights. See “Note 11 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” for further information.

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company completed an equity investment through a private placement of 416,666,640 units at a price of $0.24 per unit (the “Private Placement”). Each unit consisted of one Subordinate Voting Share and one-quarter of one share purchase warrant of the Company. Certain investors also received a portion of the Short-Term Warrant with an exercise price of $30,000 and an expiration date of December 31, 2021. At the option of the holder, the Short-Term Warrant may be exercisable into equity or convertible promissory notes under the Convertible Facility, in which net cash settlement is outside of the Company’s control. See “Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity” for further information. Accordingly, the Short-Term Warrant was accounted for as a derivative liability and measured at fair value, in the amount of $19,400 on August 17, 2021, with changes in fair value recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the fiscal second quarter of 2022, the Short-Term Warrant expired unexercised.

 

The fair value of the top-up provision in connection with Sixth Amendment of the Convertible Facility and the Short-Term Warrant in connection with the Private Placement was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model based on Level 3 inputs on the fair value hierarchy. The following assumptions were used at period end:

The following are the warrants issued related to the equity financing transactions that were accounted for as derivative liabilities:

 

Schedule of warrant issued

Warrants

 
September 2018 Bought Deal Equity Financing     7,840,909 (1) 
December 2018 Bought Deal Equity Financing     13,640,000 (2) 
March 2021 Private Placement     50,000,000 (3) 
         
      71,480,909  

 

 
(1) On September 27, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal financing (the “September Offering”) of 15,681,818 units (the “September Units”) at a price of C$5.50 per September Unit (the “September Issue Price”). Each September Unit consisted of one Subordinate Voting Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole share purchase warrant, a “September Warrant”). Each September Warrant entitles the holder to acquire, one Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of C$6.87 for a period of 36 months following the closing of the September Offering.

(2) On December 5, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal financing (the “December Offering”) of 13,640,000 units (the “December Units”) at a price of C$5.50 per December Unit (the “December Issue Price”). Each December Unit consisted of one Subordinate Voting Share and one share purchase warrant of the Company (“December Warrant”). Each December Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of C$6.87 until September 27, 2021.

(3) During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company issued 50,000,000 warrants for Subordinate Voting Shares with an exercise price of C$0.50 per warrant and an expiration date of March 27, 2024. The exercise price of the warrants was denominated in a price other than the Company’s functional currency.

 

The fair value of the September 2018 and December 2018 bought deal warrants was measured based on Level 1 inputs on the fair value hierarchy since there are quoted prices in active markets for these warrants. The Company used the closing price of the publicly-traded warrants at the time of grant to estimate fair value of the derivative liability. The fair value of the March 2021 private placement warrants was measured based on Level 3 inputs on the fair value hierarchy using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model using the following variables:

 

Schedule of assumptions to measure fair value        
Expected Stock Price Volatility     52.60 %
Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate     0.06 %
Expected Life (in Years)     0.23  
Share Price   $ 0.23  
Exercise Price   $ 0.39

Amendments to Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

 

On January 13, 2020, the Company completed an amendment of the Facility wherein the maturity date was extended from October 1, 2020 to January 31, 2022 and the interest rate was increased from a fixed rate of 7.5% per annum to 15.5% per annum. In addition, the Company may prepay the amounts outstanding, on a non-revolving basis, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty. The amendment secured the Facility by a pledge of 100% of the equity interest in Project Compassion NY, LLC, which includes MedMen NY, Inc. and MMOF NY Retail, LLC. The amendment to the term loan facility was not deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC Subtopic 470-50”).

 

Further, the Company cancelled the existing 16,211,284 and 1,023,256 warrants issued to the lenders exercisable at $4.97 and $4.73 per share, respectively, representing 100% of the loan amount. The Company issued new warrants to the lenders totaling 40,455,729 warrants exercisable at $0.60 per share until December 31, 2022. The new warrants may be exercised at the election of their holders on a cashless basis. The warrants issued in connection with the term loan facility met the scope exception under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and are classified as equity instruments. The warrants are measured at fair value and recorded as a debt discount in connection with the term loan facility. See “Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation” for further information regarding the valuation method and assumptions used in determining the fair value of these equity instruments.

In addition, the Company may request an increase to the Facility through December 31, 2020 to be funded through incremental term loans. Certain reporting and financial covenants were added, and the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until September 30, 2020 wherein the amount of required cash balance thereafter was amended. The amendment to the Facility was not deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50.

 

The Company incurred an amendment fee of $834 that was added to the outstanding principal balance.

The Company also cancelled 20,227,863 existing warrants held by the lenders exercisable at $0.60 per share until December 31, 2022. The warrants may be exercised at the election of their holders on a cashless basis.

On September 16, 2020, the Company entered into further amendments wherein the amount of funds available under the Facility was increased by $12,000, of which $5,700 was fully committed by the lenders through October 31, 2020. The additional amounts are funded through incremental term loans at an interest rate of 18.0% per annum wherein 12.0% shall be paid in cash monthly in arrears and 6.0% shall accrue monthly as payment-in-kind. In connection with each incremental draw under the amended Facility, the Company shall issue warrants equal to 200% of the incremental term loan amount, divided by the greater of (a) $0.20 per share and (b) 115% multiplied by the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the shares for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable funding date of the second tranche, which shall be the exercise price of the issued warrant. Such warrants are subject to a down round feature wherein the exercise price would be decreased in the event of the exercise of a down-round price reset of select warrants under the Convertible Facility. Refer to “Note 11 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” for further information. In addition, certain covenants and terms were added or amended, and the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until December 31, 2020.

As consideration for the amendment, the Company issued approximately 20,227,863 warrants exercisable at $0.34 per share until September 16, 2025. The Company also cancelled 20,227,863 existing warrants held by the lenders exercisable at $0.60 per share until December 31, 2022.

On September 16, 2020, the Company closed on an incremental term loan of $3,000 under the amended Facility and issued 30,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share until September 16, 2025. On October 30, 2020, the Company closed on an incremental term loan of $7,705 under the amended Facility and issued 77,052,790 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share until September 14, 2025.

See “Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity” and “Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation” for further information.

 

On September 16, 2020 and September 28, 2020, the down round feature on the warrants issued in connection with the incremental term loan of $3,000 on September 16, 2020 was triggered wherein the exercise price was adjusted to $0.17 and $0.15 per share, respectively. The value of the effect of the down round feature was determined to be $405 and recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital during the six months ended December 26, 2020.

 

On May 11, 2021, the Company completed an amendment of the Facility wherein certain covenants were added and amended. Specifically, the minimum liquidity covenant was amended to which the covenant will not apply if the Company pays and has paid the cash portion of interest accrued under the Facility when such cash interest becomes due and payable. Such covenant will continue to be applied in the event the Company has failed to make payments. The minimum liquidity balance was not amended. In addition, application of payments was added wherein proceeds from the sale of the New York disposal group shall be applied to the amended and restated Facility as of the amendment on July 2, 2020 in the principal amount of $83,123. As consideration for the amendment, the Company incurred a modification fee of $1,000 which is due from the earliest of (a) receipt of Level-Up proceeds, (b) the date of the Investment Agreement, and (c) the earlier of January 31, 2022. Fees paid to the Lender in connection with the amendment totaled $225. The amendment to the Facility was not deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50.

On August 17, 2021, the Company announced that Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”) acquired a majority of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) under the senior secured convertible credit facility (the “Convertible Facility”) with Gotham Green Partners (“GGP”). Under the terms of the transaction, a newly formed limited partnership (the “SPV”) established by Tilray and other strategic investors acquired an aggregate principal amount of approximately $165,800 of the Notes and warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Facility, representing 75% of the outstanding Notes and 65% of the outstanding warrants under the Convertible Facility. Specifically, Tilray’s interest in the SPV represents rights to 68% of the Notes and related warrants held by the SPV, which are convertible into, and exercisable for, approximately 21% of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares of MedMen upon closing of the transaction. Tilray also has the right to appoint two non-voting observers of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company amended and restated the securities purchase agreement (“A&R 4”, or the “Sixth Amendment”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date to August 17, 2028, eliminate any cash interest obligations and instead provide for payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, eliminate certain repricing/down-round provisions, and eliminate and revise certain restrictive covenants. All or a portion of the Notes and unpaid accrued interest are convertible into Subordinate Voting Shares at the option of the Note holder prior to the Notes repayment. The conversion price of the Notes and unpaid and accrued PIK interest prior to A&R 4 ranges from $0.1529 to $0.3400. Accrued payment-in-kind interest on the Notes incurred after A&R 4 will be convertible at price equal to the higher of 1) the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of the Subordinate Voting Shares, and 2) lowest discounted price available pursuant to the pricing policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). A&R 4 PIK was classified as a liability in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. The Notes may not be prepaid until the federal legalization of cannabis. Under A&R 4, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants including minimum liquidity and maintenance of the annual budget, and certain negative covenants, including restrictions on incurring liens, debt and contingent obligations, sale of assets, conducting mergers, investments and affiliate transactions, making certain payments, organizational changes, and sale-leaseback transactions. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of December 25, 2021. The Sixth Amendment was deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments” and the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $12,410 in the first quarter of 2022.

 

The Notes will also provide the holders with a top-up (“Top-up”) right to acquire additional Subordinate Voting Shares and a preemptive (“Preemptive”) right with respect to future financings of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, upon the issuance by MedMen of certain Subordinate Voting Shares or Subordinate Voting Share-linked securities. Top-up rights provides the Note holders warrants for the number of Subordinate Voting Shares that maintains the Note holders their as-if converted ownership percentage of Subordinate Voting Shares (the “Top-up Warrants”). The Top-up Warrants exercise price is equal to the issue or conversion price of the Subordinate Voting Shares that triggered the Top-up Warrants. The Top-up Warrants expire at the earlier of five years or the date cannabis possession is federally legal. Preemptive rights allow the Note holders a first right to acquire its pro rata portion of certain future Subordinate Voting Share issuances at the price proposed by the Company. The Top-up and Preemptive rights were bifurcated from the Notes and classified as derivatives due to the variability in the number of shares and price in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. See “Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities” for further discussion.

 

In connection with A&R 4, GGP has the ability to nominate an individual to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors for so long as GGP’s diluted ownership percentage is at least 10%.

Equity Investment Through Private Placement

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various investors led by Serruya Private Equity Inc. (“SPE”) to purchase $100,000 of units (each, a “Unit”) of the Company at a purchase price of $0.24 per Unit (the “Private Placement”) wherein each Unit consisted of one Class B Subordinate Voting Share and one-quarter share purchase warrant. Each warrant permits the holder to purchase one additional Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of $0.288 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The warrants were classified within shareholders’ equity as additional paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815-10”) and recorded at fair value. The Company issued a total of 416,666,640 Subordinate Voting Shares and 104,166,660 warrants for gross proceeds of $100,000 including the settlement of the unsecured promissory note of $5,000. The Company incurred stock issuance costs totaling $7,853, including the Backstop Commitment fee noted below, which were recorded as reductions in additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the Company received proceeds totaling $92,147 net of fees in the first quarter of 2022. Refer to “Note 10 – Notes Payable” for further information. In connection with private placement, S5 Holdings LLC has the ability to nominate an individual to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors for so long as their diluted ownership percentage is at least 9%.

 

Each Unit issued to certain funds associated with SPE consisted of one Class B Subordinate Voting Share and one-quarter of one share purchase warrant, plus a proportionate interest in a short-term warrant (the “Short-Term Warrant”) which expires on December 31, 2021. At the option of the holders and upon payment of $30,000, the Short-Term Warrant entitles the holders to acquire (i) an aggregate of 125,000,000 Units at an exercise price of $0.24 per Unit, or (ii) $30,000 principal amount of notes at par, convertible into 125,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares at a conversion price of $0.24 per share under the terms of the Convertible Facility. The proceeds from the exercise of the Short-Term Warrant, less fees and expenses, must be used to repay the senior secured term loan with Hankey Capital if any indebtedness is then outstanding. The Short-Term Warrant was classified as a liability in accordance with ASC 815-10 and recorded at fair value in the amount of $19,400. See “Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities” for further information.

 

Certain investors associated with SPE agreed to backstop the Private Placement (the “Backstop Commitment”). In consideration for providing the Backstop Commitment, the Company paid a fee of $2,500 in the form of 10,416,666 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares at a price of $0.24 per share.

Le Cirque Rouge, LP is a Delaware limited partnership that holds substantially all of the real estate assets owned by the REIT, conducts the REIT’s operations, and is financed by the REIT. Under ASC 810, “Consolidation”, the OP was determined to be a variable interest entity in which the Company has a variable interest. The Company was determined to have an implicit variable interest in the OP based on the leasing relationship and arrangement with the REIT. The Company was not determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect its economic performance. As of December 25, 2021, the Company continues to have a variable interest in the OP. During the six months ended December 25, 2021, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to the REIT other than the completion of the sale and leaseback transactions and the REIT being a lessor on various leases as described in “Note 9 – Leases”. Accordingly, Le Cirque Rouge, LP is not consolidated as a variable interest entity within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has a stock and equity incentive plan (the “Incentive Plan”) under which the Company may issue various types of equity instruments to any employee, officer, consultant, advisor or director. The types of equity instruments issuable under the Incentive Plan encompass, among other things, stock options, stock grants, restricted stock units (together, “Awards”). Stock based compensation expenses are recorded as a component of general and administrative to the extent that the Company has not appointed a Compensation Committee, all rights and obligations under the Incentive Plan shall be those of the full Board of Directors. The maximum number of Awards that may be issued under the Incentive Plan shall be determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors in the absence of a Compensation Committee. Any shares subject to an Award under the Incentive Plan that are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised, are settled in cash, or are used or withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations, shall again be available for Awards under the Incentive Plan. Vesting of Awards will be determined by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors in absence of one. The exercise price for Awards (if applicable) will generally not be less than the fair market value of the Award at the time of grant and will generally expire after 10 years.

 

A summary of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 is as follows:

17. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020:

 

Schedule of income tax expense and effective tax rates                                
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    December 25,     December 26,     December 25,     December 26,  
    2021     2020     2021     2020  
Loss from Continuing Operations Before Provision for Income Taxes   $ (23,004 )   $ (39,912 )   $ (57,474 )   $ (54,226 )
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)   $ 8,138     $ (22,560 )   $ (11,555 )   $ (34,843 )
Effective Tax Rate     35 %     -57 %     -20 %     -64 %

 

For the three and six months ended December 25, 2021, the Company calculated its provision for income taxes during its interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year “ordinary” income or loss for the respective reporting period.

 

As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal, Illinois state, Florida state, Massachusetts state and New York state income tax purposes under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. However, the State of California does not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its California Franchise Tax Returns.

 

The Company has approximately gross $8,500 (tax effected $2,300) of Canadian non-capital losses and $6,915 (tax effected $1,833) of share issuance cost 20(1)(e) balance. The loss tax attribute has been determined to be more likely than not that the tax attribute would not yield any tax benefit. As such, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the benefit. Since IRC Section 280E was not applied in the California Franchise Tax Returns, the Company has approximately $210,000 of gross California net operating losses which begin expiring in 2033 as of June 26, 2021. The Company has evaluated the realization of its California net operating loss tax attribute and has determined under the more likely than not standard that $207,000 will not be realized.

 

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 varies widely from the three and six months ended December 26, 2020, respectively, primarily due to the Company’s forecasted income and related 280E expenditures. The Company incurred a large amount of expenses that were not deductible due to IRC Section 280E limitations, which resulted in income tax expense being incurred while there were pre-tax losses for the quarter.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, and in Canada. The Company is generally subject to audit by taxing authorities in various U.S., state, and in foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years 2013 through the current fiscal year. As of December 25, 2021, the Company had $16,600 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate if recognized. During the three and six months ended December 25, 2021, the Company recognized a net discrete tax expense of $140 primarily related on interest of past liabilities. During the next twelve months, the Company does not estimate any material reduction in its unrecognized tax benefits.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Contingencies

 

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of these regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of December 25, 2021 and June 26, 2021, marijuana regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties or restrictions in the future.

 

Claims and Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of December 25, 2021, there were no pending or threatening lawsuits that could be reasonably assessed to have resulted in a probable loss to the Company in an amount that can be reasonably estimated. As such, no accrual has been made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relating to claims and litigations. As of December 25, 2021, there are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

 

In July 2018, a legal claim was filed against the Company related to alleged misrepresentations in respect of a financing transaction completed in May 2018. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the claim was settled for a total of C$575 of which C$250 shall be paid in Class B Subordinate Voting Shares. The settlement liability has been accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In late January 2019, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) filed a complaint against MM Enterprises in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, seeking damages for claims relating to his employment. The Company is currently defending against this lawsuit, which seeks damages for wrongful termination, breach of contract, and breach of implied covenant of good faith. The former CFO’s employment agreement provided for the payment of severance in the event of termination without cause. In November 2021, the lawsuit was ruled in favor of the Company on all claims and determined the Company did not owe any damages.

 

In March 2020, litigation was filed against the Company related to a purchase agreement for a previous acquisition. The Company is currently defending against this lawsuit, which seeks damages for fraudulent inducement and breach of contract. The Company believes the likelihood of a loss contingency is neither probable nor estimable. As such, no amount has been accrued in these financial statements.

 

In April 2020, a complaint was filed against the Company related to a contemplated acquisition in which the plaintiffs are seeking damages for alleged breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. While no amounts have been identified in the claim, the Company estimated this to be approximately $5,200. The Company believes the likelihood of a loss contingency is remote. As such, no amount has been accrued in the financial statements.

 

In May 2020, litigation was filed against the Company related to a purchase agreement and secured promissory note for a previous acquisition. The Company is currently defending against this lawsuit, which claims for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, common law fraud and securities fraud. The plaintiffs are seeking damages for such claims in which the amount is currently not reasonably estimable. Therefore, pursuant to ASC 450, “Contingencies” (“ASC 450”), a liability has not been recorded in these financial statements. In response, the Company filed a counterclaim and is seeking entitlement to proceeds of the sale, net of amounts owed under the secured promissory note which is in dispute. The plaintiffs filed an appeal to the ruling on the entitlement of proceeds in excess of the secured promissory note. In accordance with ASC 450, any loss recoveries related to the Company’s counterclaim have not been recorded. In addition, net proceeds resulting from the sale was not recognized as a receivable as the amount is not reasonably estimable.

 

In September 2020, a legal dispute was filed against the Company related to the separation of a former officer in which the severance issued is currently being disputed. The Company believes the likelihood of loss is remote. As a result, no amount has been set up for potential damages in these financial statements.

 

In February 2020, a legal dispute was filed against the Company and settled in December 2020 for approximately $2,400. As of December 25, 2021, the settlement was paid in full and no balance remains in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In December 2020, a lawsuit was filed against the Company related to a previous acquisition alleging that the plaintiffs were owed additional compensation. In the complaint, the plaintiffs allege breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair delaying, fraud and unjust enrichment, among other causes of actions. The plaintiffs are seeking the issuance of 51,716,141 shares, which has been accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 25, 2021, and other monetary damages. The litigation is at an early stage and the likelihood of a loss contingency is remote. The amount of other monetary damages is not reasonably estimable and thus, no amount has been accrued in these financial statements. During the six months ended December 25, 2021, the parties entered into a partial settlement in the amount of $1,050 of which $245 is remaining as of December 25, 2021 and has been accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In January 2021, a cross-complaint was filed against the Company related a lien foreclosure alleging breach of contract, quantum merit and implied indemnity. The Company is actively defending the legal matter which the claimant is seeking payment of outstanding payables totaling approximately $11,000 which has been accrued in these financial statements.

22. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

New York

 

In February 2021, management entered into a plan to sell MedMen NY, Inc. wherein the Company entered into a definitive investment agreement to sell a controlling interest in MedMen NY, Inc. Consequently, assets and liabilities allocable to the operations within the state of New York were classified as a discontinued operation. The assets associated with the New York component were measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. All profit or loss relating to the New York operations were eliminated from the Company’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Of the total sales price of $73,000, the cash purchase price was to be used to repay a portion of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility. Accordingly, the total amount of interest expense and amortization of debt discounts allocated to discontinued operations was $5,560 and $5,151 for the three months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively, and $10,407 and $9,391 for the six months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 8, 2022, which is the date these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, and has concluded that the following subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosure in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Termination of Investment Agreement

 

On January 3, 2022, the Company announced the termination of the investment agreement to sell a controlling interest in the Company’s operations in the state of New York. Refer to “Note 22 – Discontinued Operations” for further information. Subsequently, the third party filed a complaint against the Company seeking specific performance of the investment agreement.

 

Sixth Modification to Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

 

On February 2, 2022, the Company executed the Sixth Modification to its Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, (the “Sixth Modification”), with Hankey Capital, LLC, (the “Lender) extending the maturity date and making certain amendments to the Commercial Loan Agreement, dated October 1, 2018, as amended, restated, supplemented, and/or as modified. As of December 25, 2021, the date of these financial statements, and as of February 2, 2022, the date of the Sixth Modification, the outstanding amounts due are approximately $113,600 and $114,300, respectively. The Sixth Modification extends the stated maturity date of January 31, 2022 of the Facility for a period of six months; specifically, July 31, 2022 with respect to Facility, and August 1, 2022 with respect to the incremental term loans (collectively, the “Term Loans”). The Sixth Modification makes no modification to the current interest rate. The Sixth Modification provides that the definitive documentation with respect to the conditional purchase of the Term Loans by Superhero Acquisition, L.P., an existing lender under the Company’s Senior Secured Convertible Purchase Agreement dated August 7, 2021, must be entered within 45 days or the stated maturity date of the Term Loans become due. Refer to “Note 10 – Notes Payable” for further information about the debt due to the lender.

 

The Sixth Modification requires that the Company make a mandatory prepayment of at least $37,500 in the event the sale of certain assets and imposes covenants in regards strategic actions the Company must implement if it is unable to pay the Term Loans by the extended stated maturity date.

 

The Company agreed to prepay $20,000 on the Term Loans and pay a fee of $1,000 to the Term Loan lenders in consideration of the Sixth Modification, which fee will be paid in Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (“Shares”) with a deemed price of $0.1247 (C$0.1582) for a total of 8,021,593 Shares (the “Fee Shares”), with any difference in realized net proceeds that is less than $1,000 from the sale of the Fee Shares during a 30-day period, to the extent such Fee Shares are sold, reimbursed in cash. The Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 registering for resale the Fee Shares.

 

The issuance of the Fee Shares as part of the Sixth Modification triggered the right of holders of convertible notes under the Convertible Facility to be issued five-year warrants in order to maintain their pro rata ownership interest (on a partially diluted basis) in the Shares. A total of 6,682,567 warrants (the “Top-up Warrants”), each entitling the holder to purchase one Share at a purchase price of $0.1247 (C$0.1582), will be issued to the holders of convertible notes under the Convertible Facility. Refer to “Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities” for further information.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ending June 26, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Preparation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of the Company’s subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest.

 

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 have been included. In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), the Company consolidates any variable interest entity (“VIE”), of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

 

Fiscal Year-End

 

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52/53 week year ending on the last Saturday in June. In a 52-week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods will comprise 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53-week fiscal year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. The Company’s first 53-week fiscal year will occur in fiscal year 2024. The Company’s fiscal years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 included 52 weeks.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The risks and uncertainties on the future of the Company’s operations due to COVID-19 and regulatory uncertainty, combined with the fact that the Company historically had a working capital deficit, net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities, have in the past, raised substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, management believes that substantial doubt of our ability to meet our obligations for the next twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements were first made available was resolved as a result of (i) capital raised subsequent to the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements were issued, as disclosed in “Note 29 – Subsequent Events”, (ii) executed debt amendments with lenders and landlords to defer cash interest and rent payments, and in certain cases, to extend maturity dates, (iii) execution of the Company’s restructuring plans and management’s on-going efforts to reduce corporate-level expenses, (iv) rationalization of capital expenditures, and (v) proceeds from the divestiture of non-core assets, including its operations in the state of New York, as disclosed in “Note 28 – Discontinued Operations”. Accordingly, management believes that there is no material uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

 

COVID-19

 

The COVID-19 pandemic promoted various recommendations and safety measures from governmental authorities to try and limit the pandemic. The response of governmental authorities is having a significant impact on the private sector and individuals, including unprecedented business, employment and economic disruptions. During the current reporting period, aspects of the Company’s business continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Company’s offices and retail stores operating within local rules and regulations. While the ultimate severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment is uncertain, the Company is monitoring this closely. In the event that the Company were to experience widespread transmission of the virus at one or more of the Company’s store or other facilities, the Company could suffer reputational harm or other potential liability. Further, the Company’s business operations may be materially and adversely affected if a significant number of the Company’s employees are impacted by the virus.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) under which emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

 

Functional Currency

 

The Company and its subsidiaries’ functional currency, as determined by management, is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars as this is the primary economic environment of the group. All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars.

 

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

 

ASC 810 requires a variable interest holder to consolidate a VIE if that party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether or not a variable interest the Company holds could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of the Company’s involvement with the VIE. The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary or the entity is not a VIE and the Company does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions. The Company does not consolidate a VIE in which it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its relationships with all the VIE’s on an ongoing basis to reassess if it continues to be the primary beneficiary.

Basis of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities over which the Company has control as defined in ASC 810. Subsidiaries over which the Company has control are fully consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases. Control exists when the Company has ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are taken into account.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash balances are those which meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents but are not available for use by the Company. As of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, restricted cash was $730 and $1,029, respectively, which is used to pay for lease costs and costs incurred related to building construction in Reno, Nevada. This account is managed by a contractor and the Company is required to maintain a certain minimum balance.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process such as pre-harvested cannabis plants and by-products to be extracted. The costs of growing cannabis, including but not limited to labor, utilities, nutrition and supplies, are capitalized into inventory until the time of harvest. All direct and indirect costs related to inventory are capitalized when incurred, and subsequently classified to cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Work-in-process is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using the weighted average cost. Raw materials and finished goods inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of accounting. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell. The Company periodically reviews physical inventory for excess, obsolete, and potentially impaired items and reserves. The Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant and slow-moving goods and any such inventory is written down to net realizable value. Packaging and supplies are initially valued at cost. The reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based on expected future use. The reserve estimates have historically been consistent with actual experience as evidenced by actual sale or disposal of the goods. As of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the Company determined that no reserve was necessary.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Investments

 

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted as follows:

 

Equity Method and Joint Venture Investments

 

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

 

Investments at Fair Value

 

Equity investments not accounted for using the equity method are carried at fair value, with changes recognized in profit or loss (“FVTPL”) in accordance with ASC 321, “Investments—Equity Securities” (“ASC 321”).

 

Investments in Equity without Readily Determinable Fair Value

 

Investments without readily determinable fair values (which are classified as Level 3 investments in the fair value hierarchy) use a determinable available measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321. The measurement alternative requires the investments to be held at cost and adjusted for impairment and observable price changes, if any.

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

Schedule of property plant and equipment  
Land Not Depreciated
Buildings and Improvements 39 Years
Finance Lease Assets Shorter of Lease Term or Economic Life
Right of Use Assets 10 – 20 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 3 – 7 Years
Leasehold Improvements Shorter of Lease Term or Economic Life
Equipment and Software 3 – 7 Years
Construction in Progress Not Depreciated

 

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

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

 

Schedule of intangible assets  
Dispensary Licenses 15 Years
Customer Relationships 5 Years
Management Agreement 30 Years
Intellectual Property 10 Years
Capitalized Software 3 Years

 

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

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business acquisition. In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization. The Company reviews goodwill and other intangible assets allocated to each of the Company’s reporting units for impairment on an annual basis as of year-end or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate carrying amount it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined based upon the assignment of the Company’s assets and liabilities, including existing goodwill, to the identified reporting units. Where an acquisition benefits only one reporting unit, the Company allocates, as of the acquisition date, all goodwill for that acquisition to the reporting unit that will benefit. In order to determine if goodwill is impaired, the Company measures the impairment of goodwill by comparing a reporting unit’s carrying amount to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge equal to the amount in excess. A goodwill impairment loss associated with a discontinued operation is included within the results of discontinued operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

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

Leased Assets

 

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

 

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. A finance lease is a lease in which 1) ownership of the property transfers to the lessee by the end of the lease term; 2) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; 3) the lease is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; 4) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already included in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value; or 5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The Company classifies a lease as an operating lease when it does not meet any one of these criteria. Refer to “Note 17 – Leases” for further discussion.

 

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

 

If a sale and leaseback transaction was accounted for as a sale and leaseback under ASC 840, then the entity continues recognizing any deferred gain or loss under ASC 842. Sale and leaseback transactions are assessed to determine whether a sale has occurred under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). If a sale is determined not to have occurred, the underlying “sold” assets are not derecognized and a financing liability is established in the amount of cash received. At such time that the lease expires, the assets are then derecognized along with the financing liability, with a gain recognized on disposal for the difference between the two amounts, if any. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and reflect the present value of the Company’s current minimum lease payments over the lease terms, which include options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Refer to “Note 17 – Leases” for further discussion.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or the tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon effective settlement.

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 generally provide three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance ASC 470, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features”, as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments”. Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. ASC 815 provides that generally, if an event that is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In calculating the fair value of derivative liabilities, the Company uses a valuation model when Level 1 inputs are not available to estimate fair value at each reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the Consolidated Balance Sheets date. Critical estimates and assumptions used in the model are discussed in “Note 16 – Derivative Liabilities”.

 

Down-Round Features

 

The Company calculates down-round features under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features”, in which down round features do not meet the criteria for derivative accounting and no liability is to be recorded until an actual issuance of securities triggers the down-round feature.

 

Business Combinations

 

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

 

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

Assets Held for Sale

 

The Company classifies assets held for sale in accordance with ASC 360. 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 classify as an asset held for sale, the asset or disposal group must meet all of the following conditions: i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset, ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject to certain customary terms, iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated, iv) the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year, subject to certain exceptions, v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current value, and vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell (“FVLCTS”). 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 on an asset cease to be recorded. For long-lived assets or disposals groups that are classified as held for sale but do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations, the assets and liabilities are presented separately on the balance sheet of the initial period in which it is classified as held for sale. The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. See “Note 7 – Assets Held for Sale” and “Note 28 – Discontinued Operations”.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

A component of an entity is identified as operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and financially, from the rest of the entity. Under ASC Subtopic 205-20, “Discontinued Operations” (“ASC Subtopic 205-20”), a discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results, or a newly acquired business or nonprofit activity that upon acquisition is classified as held for sale. Discontinued operations are presented separately from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See “Note 28 – Discontinued Operations”.

 

Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations

 

Under ASC Subtopic 205-20, interest on debt that is to be assumed by the buyer and interest on debt that is required to be repaid as a result of a disposal transaction is allocated to discontinued operations. The amount of interest expense reclassified to discontinued operations is directly related to the amount of debt that will be repaid with funds received from the sale of discontinued operations. See “Note 28 – Discontinued Operations” for further information. The Company elected not to reclassify other interest expenses which are not directly attributable to discontinued operations as permitted under ASC Subtopic 205-20.

 

Assets Reclassified from Discontinued Operations

 

Under ASC Subtopic 205-20, upon determination that assets held for sale no longer meet the held for sale criteria, the Company reclassifies the assets as held and used at the lower of adjusted carrying value (carrying value of the assets prior to being classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation and/or amortization expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and use) or the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. If adjusted carrying value is determined to be lower, a catch-up adjustment for depreciation will be recorded. The depreciation and/or amortization expenses that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used is included as a component of depreciation and amortization expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. If fair value is determined to be lower, the Company records a gain or loss that is included in impairment expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “Note 28 – Discontinued Operations”.

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Identify a customer along with a corresponding contract;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Revenues consist of wholesale, retail sales of cannabis and delivery, which are generally recognized at a point in time when control over the goods have been transferred to the customer and is recorded net of sales discounts. During the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, wholesale revenues were insignificant. Payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer or within a specified time period permitted under the Company’s credit policy. During the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, sales discounts were $15,965,000 and $16,242,036, respectively.

 

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

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan comprised of stock options, stock grants, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and three classes of member units: 1) Common Units; 2) Appreciation Only Long-Term Incentive Performance Units (“AO LTIP Units”); and 3) Fair Value Long-Term Incentive Performance Units (“FV LTIP Units”). AO LTIP Units and FV LTIP Units are convertible into Long-Term Incentive Performance Units (“LTIP Units”). LTIP Units are convertible into Common Units on a one-for-one basis.

 

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

 

The fair value models require the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from management’s estimates, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.

Loss per Share

 

The Company calculates basic loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise convertible debentures, restricted stock units, warrants and stock options issued.

 

Financial Instruments

 

Classification

 

The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories: (i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); (ii) those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); and (iii) those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost. The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at FVTPL (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains or losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

 

Measurement

 

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition, plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets and financial liabilities with embedded derivatives are considered separately when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of the subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets including equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For financial liabilities measured subsequently at FVTPL, changes in fair value due to credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income.

Fair Value

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Financial instruments are measured at amortized cost or at fair value. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost consist of accounts receivable, due from and due to related party, other liabilities, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities wherein the carrying value approximates fair value due to its short-term nature. Other financial instruments measured at amortized cost include notes payable and senior secured convertible credit facility wherein the carrying value at the effective interest rate approximates fair value as the interest rate for notes payable and the interest rate used to discount the host debt contract for senior secured convertible credit facility approximate a market rate for similar instruments offered to the Company.

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured at Level 1 inputs. Acquisition related liabilities resulting from business combinations are measured at fair value using Level 1 or Level 3 inputs. Investments that are measured at fair value use Level 3 inputs. Refer to “Note 6 – Other Current Assets” for assumptions used to value investments. Refer to “Note 15 – Other Current Liabilities and Other Non-Current Liabilities” for assumptions used to value the contingent consideration related to business combinations. Derivative liabilities are measured on quoted market prices in active markets at Level 1 inputs. Refer to “Note 16 – Derivative Liabilities” for assumptions used to value the derivative liabilities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

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

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Impairment

 

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset at the reporting date with the risk of default at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. For accounts receivable only, the Company applies the simplified approach as permitted by ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The simplified approach to the recognition of expected losses does not require the Company to track the changes in credit risk; rather, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date from the date of the trade receivable.

 

Expected credit losses are measured as the difference in the present value of the contractual cash flows that are due to the Company under the contract, and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The Company assesses all information available, including past due status, credit ratings, the existence of third-party insurance, and forward-looking macro-economic factors in the measurement of the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The Company measures expected credit loss by considering the risk of default over the contract period and incorporates forward-looking information into its measurement.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which replaces the incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to explain credit loss estimates. Under the new standard, the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date from the date of the trade receivable. The Company is not required to track the changes in credit risk. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on June 28, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), which provides a simplified assessment method whether goodwill is impaired by removing the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities in order to calculate a reporting unit’s implied goodwill. Per ASU 2017-04, the Company performed its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The Company should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment should be recorded. Any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed once recognized. ASU 2017-04 must be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard on June 28, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. Per ASU 2018-13 certain disclosures are eliminated which relate to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 must be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard on June 28, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption date and impact, if any, adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments — Equity Securities (Topic 321)”, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)”, and “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” (“ASU 2020-01”), which is intended to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt — Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)” and “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption is applied on a modified or full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption date and impact, if any, adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations.

 

3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

 

 

The Company maintains cash with various U.S. banks and credit unions with balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund limits, respectively. The failure of a bank or credit union where the Company has significant deposits could result in a loss of a portion of such cash balances in excess of the insured limit, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the U.S. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. There were no customers that comprised more than 10% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020.

9. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

 

The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions, as set forth in the table above, reflect various preliminary fair value estimates and analyses that are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets, the valuation of intangible assets acquired and goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the period of acquisition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, depending on the nature of the adjustments, other periods subsequent to the period of acquisition could be affected. All the acquisitions noted below were accounted for in accordance with ASC 805.

 

Business acquisitions completed during the year ended June 27, 2020 were as follows:

 

MattnJeremy, Inc., d/b/a One Love Beach Club

 

On September 3, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of MattnJeremy, Inc., d/b/a One Love Beach Club (“One Love”), a licensed medical and recreational cannabis dispensary located in Long Beach, California.

In no case will the Company be required to pay additional consideration. However, if the working capital adjustment is negative, the Company will not be required to pay some deferred payments. There was no working capital adjustment based upon the closing inventory.

 

MME Evanston Retail, LLC

 

In connection with the termination of the PharmaCann Acquisition, on December 2, 2019, the Company received 100% of the membership interests in MME Evanston Retail, LLC (“Evanston”), which includes a retail location in Evanston, Illinois and related licenses, and a retail license in Greater Chicago, Illinois. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Evanston for aggregate consideration of $6,930,557. See “Note 10 – Termination of Previously Announced Acquisition” and see “Note 7 – Assets Held for Sale” for further information.

 

10. TERMINATION OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED ACQUISITION

 

On October 11, 2018, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent with PharmaCann, LLC (“PharmaCann”) to acquire all outstanding equity interests in PharmaCann in an all-stock transaction (the “PharmaCann Acquisition”), valued at $682,000,000 based on the closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on October 9, 2018 (such value being subject to change based on the daily closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares). In connection with the letter of intent, the Company provided PharmaCann with a $20,000,000 line of credit which bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum paid-in-kind. In the event the PharmaCann Acquisition does not close, any outstanding principal and interest shall become due and payable within twelve months of termination.

 

On October 7, 2019, the Company and PharmaCann entered into a mutual agreement to terminate the PharmaCann Acquisition. As compensation for the termination, the Company and PharmaCann agreed to accept a transfer of assets in exchange for repayment of the line of credit. The assets transferred were 100% of the membership interests (“Transfer of Interest”) in three entities holding the following assets:

 

MME Evanston Retail, LLC (“Evanston”), which holds a retail location in Evanston, Illinois and related licenses, and a retail license for Greater Chicago, Illinois;
PharmaCann Virginia, LLC (“Staunton”), which holds land and a license for a vertically-integrated facility in Staunton, Virginia; and

10. TERMINATION OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED ACQUISITION (Continued)

 

Each delivery of the Transfer of Interest, after successful regulatory approval, if any, will relieve one-third of the line of credit and any accrued interest due from PharmaCann. Concurrent with the termination agreement, the Company and PharmaCann entered into a membership interest purchase agreement which detailed the assets to be delivered to the Company. The Company entered into plans to sell the Staunton and Hillcrest assets while the Evanston assets will be owned and operated by the Company. As of June 27, 2020, the Company successfully received the membership interests in Evanston and Staunton, and transferred the rights to receive the equity interest in Hillcrest to a third party, and relieved the full amount due from PharmaCann.

 

The Evanston assets received were accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations” as the Evanston assets met the definition of a business. Pursuant to ASC 805, the fair value of the consideration paid, which is the portion of the line of credit relieved, approximates its carrying value. See “Note 9 – Business Acquisitions” for further information on the acquisition of Evanston and see “Note 7 – Assets Held for Sale” for further information on the sale of Evanston.

 

The Company determined that the cost of the Staunton assets received was equal to the fair value of the assets given up as consideration, being the portion of the line of credit relieved. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded upon receipt of the Staunton assets. The Staunton assets were classified as assets held for sale in accordance with ASC 360 and are measured at the lower of its carrying amount or FVLCTS. During the year ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded $6,870,833 in assets held for sale related to Staunton and subsequently determined that the FVLCTS was less than its carrying amount and wrote down the asset by $1,050,833 which is included as a loss on sale of assets as a component of other operating income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the Company determined the remaining balance, excluding the land value of approximately $151,800 and $212,000, respectively, was unrecoverable and wrote off the balance of $60,111 and $5,607,600, respectively, which is included as a component of impairment expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “Note 7 – Assets Held for Sale” for further information.

 

The Company determined that the cost of the Hillcrest assets was equal to the fair value of the assets given up as consideration, being the portion of the line of credit relieved. The Company sold its rights to the Hillcrest assets for total gross proceeds of approximately $17,000,000 to an unrelated third party. During the year ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $9,490,800 upon successful sale of the Hillcrest assets. The gain was recorded as a gain on sale of assets as a component of other operating income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

 

During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company recorded impairment on an intellectual property asset in the amount of $1,573,563. During the year ended June 27, 2020, management noted indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets of certain asset groups in California, Nevada and Florida. The Company used various Level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of these asset groups. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $38,959,000 which is included as a component of impairment expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

 

12. GOODWILL

 

As of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, goodwill was $32,900,457 and $32,900,457, respectively. See “Note 9 – Business Acquisitions” and “Note 28 – Discontinued Operations” for further information. As of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the carrying amounts of goodwill were allocated to each group of reporting units as follows:

 

Schedule of carrying amounts of goodwill                                        
    California     Illinois     Nevada     Arizona     TOTAL  
                               
Balance as of June 29, 2019   $ 16,742,843     $ 9,810,050     $ 16,556,287     $ 16,912,951     $ 60,022,131  
                                         
Acquired Goodwill     8,217,465       2,745,910       -       -       10,963,375  
Transferred to Assets Held for Sale     (1,869,900 )     (2,745,910 )     -       -       (4,615,810 )
Impairment Losses     -       -       (16,556,287 )     (16,912,951 )     (33,469,238 )
                                         
Balance as of June 27, 2020 and June 26, 2021   $ 23,090,408     $ 9,810,050     $ -     $ -     $ 32,900,457  

 

Goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit, which is the operating segment level or one level below the operating segment. Goodwill arises from the purchase price for acquired businesses exceeding the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less assumed liabilities. Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 which eliminates Step 2 from the quantitative assessment of the goodwill impairment test wherein the goodwill impairment loss was measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount. The goodwill impairment test consists of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value is recognized as a goodwill impairment loss.

 

The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of the last day of the year. For the purpose of the goodwill impairment test, the Company performed a quantitative assessment wherein the fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow method (income approach). The earnings forecast for the reporting unit impaired was revised based on a decrease in anticipated operating profits and cash flows for the next five years as it relates to the current economic environment related to COVID-19. The fair value of that reporting unit was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows. As of June 26, 2021, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss in the amount of $960,692 as a result of its assessment, of which nil is recorded as a component of impairment expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and $960,692 is included as a component of impairment expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Discontinued Operations. As of June 27, 2020, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss in the amount of $58,047,946 as a result of its assessment, of which $33,469,238 is included as a component of impairment expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and $24,578,708 is included as a component of impairment expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Discontinued Operations.

15. OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES (Continued)

 

Contingent Consideration

 

Contingent consideration recorded relates to a business acquisition (see “Note 9 – Business Acquisitions”). The contingent consideration related to the acquisition of One Love Beach Club is based upon fair value of the additional shares required to be paid upon the expiration of the lock-up and is based upon the fair market value of the Company’s trading stock and is considered a Level 1 categorization in the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration classified as a liability and measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. The contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period with changes recorded in profit and loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the lock-up period expired and the contingent consideration in the amount of $9,254,635 was reclassified as other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 26, 2021. 

 

16. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company issued the 50,000,000 warrants related to a private placement. The exercise price of the warrants is denominated in Canadian dollars. Upon the analysis of the warrants issued under ASC 815, the Company determined that the warrants are to be accounted as derivative liabilities. See “Note 20 - Shareholders’ Equity – Private Placements” for further information.

 

The following are the warrants issued related to the bought deals that were accounted for as derivative liabilities:

 

 Schedule of warrants issued      
    Number of Warrants  
       
September Bought Deal Equity Financing     7,840,909 (2)(4)
December Bought Deal Equity Financing     13,640,000 (3)(4)
March 2021 Private Placement     50,000,000 (1)
         
 Total     71,480,909  

 

 

(1) During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company issued 50,000,000 warrants for Subordinate Voting Shares with an exercise price of C$0.50 per warrant and an expiration date of March 27, 2024. The exercise price of the warrants was denominated in a price other than the Company’s functional currency. In accordance with ASC 815, a share warrant denominated in a price other than the functional currency of the Company fails to meet the definition of equity. Accordingly, such a contract or instrument would be accounted for as derivative liabilities and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(2) On September 27, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal financing (the “September Offering”) of 15,681,818 units (the “September Units”) at a price of C$5.50 per September Unit (the “September Issue Price”). Each September Unit consisted of one Subordinate Voting Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole share purchase warrant, a “September Warrant”). Each September Warrant entitles the holder to acquire, one Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of C$6.87 for a period of 36 months following the closing of the September Offering.
(3) On December 5, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal financing (the “December Offering”) of 13,640,000 units (the “December Units”) at a price of C$5.50 per December Unit (the “December Issue Price”). Each December Unit consisted of one Subordinate Voting Share and one share purchase warrant of the Company (“December Warrant”). Each December Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of C$6.87 until September 27, 2021.
(4) Measured based on Level 1 inputs on the fair value hierarchy since there are quoted prices in active markets for these warrants. The Company used the closing price of the publicly-traded warrants to estimate fair value of the derivative liability at issuance and at each reporting date.

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of derivative liabilities and change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 is as follows:

 

 Schedule of reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of derivative liabilities and change in fair value of derivative liabilities

16. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (Continued)

 

The fair value of the September and December bought deal warrants was measured based on Level 1 inputs on the fair value hierarchy since there are quoted prices in active markets for these warrants. The Company used the closing price of the publicly-traded warrants at the time of grant to estimate fair value of the derivative liability. The fair value of the March 2021 private placement warrants was measured based on Level 3 inputs on the fair value hierarchy using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model using the following variables:

 

Schedule of assumptions to measure fair value        
Expected Stock Price Volatility     90.01 %
Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate     0.06 %
Expected Life     1.00  
Share Price   $ 0.33  
Exercise Price   $ 0.40  

 

17. LEASES

 

The Company leases land, buildings, equipment and other capital assets which it plans to use for corporate purposes and the production and sale of cannabis products. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company initially measures the ROU asset at cost, which is primarily comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs and lease payments at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate.

 

Measurement of the lease payments are comprised using 1) fixed lease payments less any incentives; 2) variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; 3) the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; 4) the exercise of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; 5) payments of penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using estimates which are based on the information available at commencement date and determines the present value of lease payments if the implicit rate is unavailable.

 

Most operating leases contain renewal options that provide for rent increases based on prevailing market conditions. The terms used to calculate the ROU assets for these properties include the renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Both ROU assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise).

 

For finance leases, lease expenses are the sum of interest on the lease obligations and amortization of the ROU assets. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized based on the lesser of the lease term and the useful life of the leased asset according to the capital asset accounting policy. If ownership of the ROU assets transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, amortization is calculated using the estimated useful life of the leased asset.

 

During the year ended June 26, 2021, management noted indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets of certain cultivation assets in California and Nevada as well as certain long-lived assets relating to operations in Florida, which include right-of-use assets related to operating leases, and was a result of economic performance. In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company performed an analysis of any long-lived asset impairment and recognized an impairment of nil on its right-of-use assets related to operating leases during the year ended June 26, 2021.

 

During the year ended June 27, 2020, management noted indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets of certain asset groups in California, Nevada and Florida which included right-of-use assets related to operating leases. The Company used various Level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of these asset groups. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $19,785,621 on its right-of-use assets related to operating leases, which is included as a component of impairment expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions

 

During the year ended June 27, 2020, the Company sold two properties and subsequently leased them back with the Treehouse Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”) and other third parties for total proceeds of $20,400,000. One of the transactions did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting as the resulting lease was a finance lease under ASC 842 and thus did not meet the criteria for transfer of control under ASC 606. Accordingly, the asset remained on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 27, 2020 at its cost basis and the Company recorded a financing liability for the amount of consideration received. The financing liability is included in notes payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to “Note 18 – Notes Payable” for further information. The other transaction qualified for sale-leaseback accounting and the Company recognized a gain immediately upon sale.

Lease Deferral Arrangements

 

During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company modified its existing lease arrangements with the REIT in which the REIT agreed to defer a portion of total current monthly base rent on certain cultivation facilities and ground leases for the 36-month period between July 1, 2020 through July 1, 2023 for a total of fourteen properties. Amendments for eight of the properties were accounted for as lease modifications in accordance with ASC 842, whereas nine leases related to failed sales leaseback transactions in which the related finance obligation was modified and accounted for in accordance with ASC 470, “Debt” (“ASC 470”), see “Note 18 – Notes Payable”, for further discussion. The total amount of all deferred rent accrues interest at 8.6% per annum during the deferral period. As consideration for the rent deferral, the Company issued 3,500,000 warrants to the REIT, each exercisable at $0.34 per share for a period of five years. Upon the analysis of the warrants issued under ASC 815, the Company determined that the warrants are accounted for as a direct cost in relation to the lease and to be measured at fair value and accounted for as an equity instrument. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company recorded $17,748,458 in gain on lease terminations of which, $16,274,615 was recognized as a result of the modification to the leases discussed above and is included as a component of other operating income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

 

On October 1, 2018, the Company closed a $73,275,000 senior secured term loan facility (the “Facility”) with funds managed by Hankey Capital and with an affiliate of Stable Road Capital (the “Lenders”). On October 3, 2018, the Company closed an additional tranche of the Facility, which increased the principal amount of the loan to $77,675,000. The principal amount under the Facility will accrue interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, paid monthly, with a maturity date of 24 months following the date of closing on October 1, 2018. The Company may repay the balance of the Facility at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, with a prepayment penalty of 1% of the outstanding principal amount repaid if repaid before December 31, 2019. In connection with the Facility, the Company’s equity interests in MMOF SD LLC, MMOF VENICE LLC, MMOF DOWNTOWN COLLECTIVE LLC, MMOF BH LLC, and MMOF VEGAS 2 LLC were pledged as security.

 

Additionally, MM CAN issued to the Lenders 8,105,642 warrants, each being exercisable for one Class B Common Share of such company at a purchase price per share of $4.97 for 30 months. Such Class B Common Shares are redeemable in accordance with their terms for Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company. In connection with the increased principal under the Facility, MM CAN issued to the Lenders an additional 511,628 warrants, each being exercisable for one Class B Common Share of such affiliate at a purchase price per share of $4.73 for a period of 30 months. Such Class B Common Shares are redeemable in accordance with their terms for Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company.

 

In addition to providing a portion of the Facility, Stable Road Capital provided advisory services to the Company. Advisory services included introducing the Company to brands and various service providers, advice on the Facility and providing advice with respect to the Company’s planned structured sale of real estate assets. For its advisory services, MM CAN issued to Stable Road Capital 8,105,642 warrants at a purchase price per share of $4.97 and 511,628 warrants at a purchase price per share of $4.73, each being exercisable for one Class B Common Share of such company for a period of 30 months. Such Class B Common Shares are redeemable in accordance with their terms for Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company.

 

Amendments to Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

 

On January 13, 2020, the Company completed an amendment of the Facility wherein the maturity date was extended from October 1, 2020 to January 31, 2022 and the interest rate was increased from a fixed rate of 7.5% per annum to 15.5% per annum. In addition, the Company may prepay the amounts outstanding, on a non-revolving basis, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty. The amendment secured the Facility by a pledge of 100% of the equity interest in Project Compassion NY, LLC, which includes MedMen NY, Inc. and MMOF NY Retail, LLC. The amendment to the term loan facility was not deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC Subtopic 470-50”).

 

Further, the Company cancelled the existing 16,211,284 and 1,023,256 warrants issued to the lenders exercisable at $4.97 and $4.73 per share, respectively, representing 100% of the loan amount. The Company issued new warrants to the lenders totaling 40,455,729 warrants exercisable at $0.60 per share until December 31, 2022. The new warrants may be exercised at the election of their holders on a cashless basis. The warrants issued in connection with the term loan facility met the scope exception under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and are classified as equity instruments. The warrants are measured at fair value and recorded as a debt discount in connection with the term loan facility. See “Note 21 – Share-Based Compensation” for further information regarding the valuation method and assumptions used in determining the fair value of these equity instruments. As a result of the modification, the Company recorded an additional debt discount of $5,331,969 related to the change in terms of the warrants during the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

 

On July 2, 2020, the Company completed an amendment of the Facility wherein the entirety of the interest at a rate of 15.5% per annum shall accrue monthly to the outstanding principal as payment-in-kind effective March 1, 2020 through July 2, 2021. Thereafter until maturity on January 31, 2022, one-half of the interest (7.75% per annum) shall be payable monthly in cash and one-half of the interest (7.75% per annum) shall be paid-in-kind. In addition, the Company may request an increase to the Facility through December 31, 2020 to be funded through incremental term loans. Certain reporting and financial covenants were added, and the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until September 30, 2020 wherein the amount of required cash balance thereafter was amended. The amendment to the Facility was not deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50.

18. NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

 

The Company incurred an amendment fee of $834,000 that was added to the outstanding principal balance. As consideration for the amendment to the Facility, the Company issued approximately 20,227,863 warrants exercisable at $0.34 per share until July 2, 2025. The Company also cancelled 20,227,863 existing warrants held by the lenders exercisable at $0.60 per share until December 31, 2022. The warrants may be exercised at the election of their holders on a cashless basis. The warrants issued in connection with the term loan facility met the scope exception under ASC 815 and are classified as equity instruments. The change in fair value of the warrants was recorded as a debt discount in connection with the Facility. As a result of the modification, the Company recorded an additional debt discount of $906,436 related to the change in terms of the warrants during the year ended June 26, 2021. See “Note 21 – Share-Based Compensation” for further information regarding the valuation method and assumptions used in determining the fair value of these equity instruments.

 

On September 16, 2020, the Company entered into further amendments wherein the amount of funds available under the Facility was increased by $12,000,000, of which $5,700,000 was fully committed by the lenders through October 31, 2020. The additional amounts are funded through incremental term loans at an interest rate of 18.0% per annum wherein 12.0% shall be paid in cash monthly in arrears and 6.0% shall accrue monthly as payment-in-kind. In connection with each incremental draw under the amended Facility, the Company shall issue warrants equal to 200% of the incremental term loan amount, divided by the greater of (a) $0.20 per share and (b) 115% multiplied by the volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the shares for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable funding date of the second tranche, which shall be the exercise price of the issued warrant. Such warrants are subject to a down round feature wherein the exercise price would be decreased in the event of the exercise of a down-round price reset of select warrants under the senior secured convertible credit facility with Gotham Green Partners (“GGP”). Refer to “Note 19 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” for further information. In addition, certain covenants and terms were added or amended, and the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until December 31, 2020. The amendment to the Facility was not deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50. As consideration for the amendment, the Company issued approximately 20,227,863 warrants exercisable at $0.34 per share until September 16, 2025. The Company also cancelled 20,227,863 existing warrants held by the lenders exercisable at $0.60 per share until December 31, 2022. The change in fair value of the warrants was recorded as a debt discount in connection with the Facility. Accordingly, the Company recorded an additional debt discount of $542,986 related to the change in terms of the warrants during the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021.

 

On September 16, 2020, the Company closed on an incremental term loan of $3,000,000 under the amended Facility and issued 30,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share until September 16, 2025. On October 30, 2020, the Company closed on an incremental term loan of $7,705,279 under the amended Facility and issued 77,052,790 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share until September 14, 2025. The warrants may be exercised at the election of their holders on a cashless basis and are classified as equity instruments. See “Note 20 – Shareholders’ Equity” and “Note 21 – Share-Based Compensation” for further information.

 

On September 16, 2020 and September 28, 2020, the down round feature on the warrants issued in connection with the incremental term loan of $3,000,000 on September 16, 2020 was triggered wherein the exercise price was adjusted to $0.17 and $0.15 per share, respectively. The value of the effect of the down round feature was determined to be $405,480 and recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital during the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021.

 

On May 11, 2021, the Company completed an amendment of the Facility wherein certain covenants were added and amended. Specifically, the minimum liquidity covenant was amended to which the covenant will not apply if the Company pays and has paid the cash portion of interest accrued under the Facility when such cash interest becomes due and payable. Such covenant will continue to be applied in the event the Company has failed to make payments. The minimum liquidity balance was not amended. In addition, application of payments was added wherein proceeds from the sale of the New York disposal group shall be applied to the amended and restated Facility as of the amendment on July 2, 2020 in the principal amount of $83,123,291. As consideration for the amendment, the Company incurred a modification fee of $1,000,000 which is due from the earliest of (a) receipt of Level-Up proceeds, (b) the date of the Investment Agreement, and (c) the earlier of January 31, 2022. Fees paid to the Lender in connection with the amendment totaled $225,035. The amendment to the Facility was not deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50.

Unsecured Convertible Facility

 

On September 16, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible debenture facility for total available proceeds of $10,000,000 wherein the convertible debentures shall have a conversion price equal to the closing price on the trading day immediately prior to the closing date, a maturity date of 24 months from the date of issuance and will bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum payable semi-annually in cash. The unsecured facility is callable in additional tranches in the amount of $1,000,000 each, up to a maximum of $10,000,000 under all tranches. The timing of additional tranches can be accelerated based on certain conditions. The Company has the right to prepay, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest prior to maturity, upon payment of 7.5% of the principal amount being repaid, less the amount of interest paid during the year of prepayment. The debentures provide for the automatic conversion into Subordinate Voting Shares in the event that the VWAP is greater than $0.25 on the CSE for 45 consecutive trading days, at a conversion price per Subordinate Voting Share equal to $0.17.

 

On September 16, 2020, the Company closed on an initial $1,000,000 of the facility with a conversion price of $0.17 per Subordinate Voting Share. In connection with the initial tranche, the Company issued 3,293,413 warrants with an exercise price of $0.21 per share. On September 28, 2020, the Company closed on a second tranche of $1,000,000 under its existing unsecured convertible facility with a conversion price of $0.15 per Subordinate Voting Share. In connection with the second tranche, the Company issued 3,777,475 warrants with an exercise price of $0.17 per Subordinate Voting Share. On November 20, 2020, the Company closed on a third tranche of $1,000,000 under the facility with a conversion price of $0.15 per Subordinate Voting Share. In connection with the third tranche, the Company issued 3,592,425 warrants with an exercise price of $0.17 per share. On December 17, 2020, the Company closed on a fourth tranche of $1,000,000 under the facility with a conversion price of $0.15 per Subordinate Voting Share. In connection with the fourth tranche, the Company issued 3,597,100 warrants with an exercise price of $0.18 per share. On January 29, 2021, the Company closed on a fifth tranche of $1,000,000 under its existing unsecured convertible facility with a conversion price of $0.16 per Subordinate Voting Share. In connection with the fifth tranche, the Company issued 3,355,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.19 per share. Under ASC 815, the conversion option and warrants were recorded as an equity instrument. As of June 26, 2021, the relative fair value of the warrants with a value of $799,949 has been recorded to equity.

 

On February 10, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Wicklow Capital to issue additional warrants for Subordinate Voting Shares within 12 months based on the borrowed amount of the unsecured convertible facility tranches. These warrants will consist of 644,068, 761,205, 775,510, 741,260, and 693,575 warrants with an exercise price of $0.21, $0.18, $0.17, $0.18, and $0.19, respectively. The commitment to issue warrants related to the existing unsecured convertible facility was deemed to be a substantial modification of the facility under ASC Subtopic 470-50 and a loss on extinguishment of $4,010,022 was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 26, 2021.

 

On June 14, 2021, a portion of the principal amount was automatically converted into 16,014,663 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares in the amount of $2,371,782. In addition, 8,807,605 of the outstanding warrants under the unsecured convertible facility were exercised at varying prices for a net exercise price of $1,622,377.

Acquisition Promissory Note

 

On January 30, 2020, the Company amended the secured promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition of Kannaboost Technology Inc. and CSI Solutions LLC (collectively referred to as “Level Up”) wherein the principal amount was amended from $12,000,000 to $13,000,000 and the maturity date was extended to April 8, 2020. On February 10, 2020, the secured promissory note was amended in which the Company was required to pay a $500,000 extension fee wherein the amendment was deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $571,897. The loss was recorded as a component of other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

 

On April 8, 2020, the Company entered into a third amendment of the Level Up secured promissory note wherein the maturity date was extended to the earlier of December 31, 2020 or in the event of default. No payments shall be due prior to the maturity date unless certain events occur. The balance of the secured promissory note will bear interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum until paid in full. The effectiveness of the amendment on April 8, 2020 is currently in dispute with the counterparty. The Company disputes the claims filed by the counterparty. The Company also disputes any default of the promissory note, has entered into a counterclaim and continues to seek resolution of the undisputed portion of the promissory note.

 

During the year ended June 26, 2021, as a result of the legal proceedings and decisions by the applicable governing bodies, the Company derecognized the acquisition promissory note and the related accrued interest in the amount of $12,173,250 and $1,202,180, respectively, and recorded as a component discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 26, 2021. Refer to the May 2020 litigation disclosed in “Note 25 – Commitments and Contingencies”.

 

Amendments to Promissory Note

 

On March 31, 2020, the Company completed the first amendment of its existing promissory note in the principal amount of $3,500,000 issued in connection with the acquisition of Viktoriya’s Medical Supplies LLC d/b/a Buddy’s Cannabis wherein the Company paid $400,000 in partial satisfaction of the outstanding debt and accrued interest. The amendment was deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50 and the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $400,000 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021.

 

On February 25, 2021, the Company completed the second amendment of the promissory note wherein the maturity date was amended to the earlier of April 1, 2022 or in the event of default. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company issued Subordinate Voting Shares in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000 to the lender to settle a portion of the debt in which the difference in fair value on the date the shares were settled by the seller was recorded as a fee. The remaining balance of the promissory note will bear interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum and be paid monthly commencing on May 1, 2021 until the amended maturity date. The second amendment to the existing promissory note was deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50 and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $658,730 was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021.

 

Settlement of Debt

 

During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, the Company entered into agreements with various noteholders to settle debt and accrued interest by the issuance of 6,801,790 Subordinate Voting Shares valued at $5,255,172 based on the closing trading prices on the agreement dates. The remaining principal and interest of the promissory notes at the settlement dates were $4,393,342 and $405,000, respectively. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $456,830. The loss was recorded as a component of other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

 

Financing Liability

 

In connection with the Company’s failed sale and leaseback transactions described in “Note 17 – Leases”, a financing liability was recognized equal to the cash proceeds received upon inception. The cash payments made on the lease less the portion considered to be interest expense, will decrease the financing liability. The financing liability was modified due to an amended lease agreement during the year ended June 26, 2021 in which the new terms of the amended agreement do not qualify as a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50.

On March 22, 2019, the Company signed a binding term sheet for a senior secured convertible credit facility (the “Convertible Facility”) of up to $250,000,000 from funds managed by Gotham Green Partners (“GGP”), an investor in the global cannabis industry. The Company subsequently entered into a definitive agreement on April 23, 2019 and closed on a portion of the initial funding tranche.

 

The Convertible Facility will be accessed through issuances to the lenders of convertible senior secured notes (“Notes”) co-issued by the Company and MM CAN, in an aggregate amount of up to $250,000,000. See “Note 29 – Subsequent Events” for further information. Under the definitive terms, Notes will be issuable in up to five tranches, with each tranche being issuable at the option of the Company, subject to certain conditions and, in certain cases, price thresholds for the Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company. The initial tranche, which the Company and MM CAN have drawn down on April 23, 2019 and May 22, 2019, was for gross proceeds of $100,000,000 (“Tranche 1”). The balance of the Convertible Facility will be funded through additional tranches.

19. SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE CREDIT FACILITY (Continued)

 

All Notes will have a maturity date of 36 months from the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”), with a 12-month extension feature available to the Company on certain conditions, including payment of an extension fee of 1.0% of the principal amount under the outstanding Notes. All Notes will bear interest from their date of issue at LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum. During the first 12 months, interest may be paid-in-kind (“PIK”) at the Company’s option such that any amount of PIK interest will be added to the outstanding principal of the Notes. The Company shall have the right after the first year, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Notes prior to maturity, in whole or in part, upon payment of 105% of the principal amount in the second year and 103% of the principal amount thereafter.

 

The Notes (including all accrued interest and fees thereon) will be convertible, at the option of the holder, into Subordinate Voting Shares at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The conversion price for each tranche of Notes is determined based upon a predefined formula as defined in the agreement immediately prior to funding of each tranche.

 

The Company may force the conversion of up to 75% of the then outstanding Notes if the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Subordinate Voting Shares (converted to U.S. dollars) is at least $8.00 for any 20 consecutive trading day period, at a conversion price per Subordinate Voting Share equal to $8.00. If 75% of the then outstanding Notes are converted by the Company, the term of the remaining 25% of the then outstanding Notes will be extended by 12 months (if such extended period is longer than the maturity date of such Notes), subject to an outside date of 48 months from the Closing Date.

 

Upon issuance of Notes pursuant to any tranche, the lenders will be issued share purchase warrants of the Company (“Warrants”), each of which would be exercisable to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share for 36 months from the date of issue. The number of Warrants to be issued will represent an approximate 50% Warrant coverage for each tranche. The exercise prices for each tranche of Warrants are determined based upon a predefined formula as defined in the agreement immediately prior to funding of each tranche.

 

In connection with Tranche 1, the Company issued to the lenders 10,086,066 Warrants with an exercise price per share equal to $3.72 and 42,913,752 Warrants with an exercise price per share equal to $4.29. Under ASC 815, the conversion option and warrants were recorded as an equity instrument. As of June 29, 2019, the relative fair value of the warrants with a value of $7,548,720 has been recorded to equity. In addition, the Company paid cash financing fees of $2,276,757 and issued 1,748,251 Subordinate Voting Shares valued at an aggregate price of $3,979,119 using the trading share price of the Company at the issuance date. The cash consideration and Subordinate Voting Shares issued were allocated between debt and equity.

 

As additional consideration for the purchase of the Notes, at the time of each Tranche closing, the lenders will be paid an advance fee of 1.5% of the principal amount of the Notes purchased in such Tranche. While the Notes are outstanding, the lenders will be entitled to the collective rights (a) to nominate an individual to the board of directors of the Company, and (b) to appoint a representative to attend all meetings of the board of directors in a non-voting observer capacity. The Notes and the Warrants, and any Subordinate Voting Shares issuable as a result of a conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance of such Notes or such Warrants, as applicable, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

Amendments to Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility

 

On August 12, 2019, the Company amended certain provisions of the Convertible Facility led by GGP (the “First Amendment”). The Company agreed to pay GGP 15% of the $125,000,000 drawn down prior to entering into the amendment as an amendment fee, which was calculated at $18,750,000 and was subsequently converted into convertible notes on October 29, 2019 at a conversion price of $1.28 per Class B Subordinate Voting Share (the “Amendment Fee Notes”). The Amendment Fee Notes may be cancelled in the event that either: the obligations, excluding the amendment fee, are paid in full, whether by prepayment or when due; or the lender elects to convert a portion of the obligations and the price per share is greater than $2.95. Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 had been fully drawn down as of May 22, 2019 and July 12, 2019, respectively. The amount of funds available to the Company in Tranche 3 and Tranche 4 was amended to $50,000,000 and $75,000,000, respectively. The aggregate amount available to be borrowed remained the same. The new terms of the First Amendment were deemed to be substantial modifications under ASC Subtopic 470-50. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $31,816,659. The loss was recorded as a component of loss on extinguishment of debt in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

 

On October 29, 2019, the Company completed the second amendment of the Convertible Facility with GGP (the “Second Amendment”) wherein certain reporting and financial covenants were modified. The Amendment removed the senior debt to market capitalization ratio covenant. The conversion of any portion of the obligations into shares is restricted until on or after October 29, 2020. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Company has the right to repay, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount of the Note together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, plus the applicable premium which is five percent (5%) of the principal amount being repaid before the second anniversary of the date of issuance of each convertible note, and three percent (3%) of the principal amount being repaid thereafter. The amount of available credit in the remaining tranches was amended to $10,000,000 for Tranche 3 and $115,000,000 for Tranche 4, of which the full amount of Tranche 3 was funded on November 27, 2019. The aggregate amount available to be borrowed remained the same. Further, the Second Amendment provided that the funding of Tranche 4 will require the consent of both the Company and the lenders under the Convertible Facility. The new terms of the Second Amendment do not qualify as a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50.

19. SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE CREDIT FACILITY (Continued)

 

On March 27, 2020, the Company amended and restated the securities purchase agreement with GGP (the “Third Amendment”) wherein GGP committed to fund up to $150,000,000 through Tranche 4 and subsequent tranches (each such subsequent tranche, an “Incremental Advance”) subject to the funding requirements of the Company and certain other conditions. The maximum funding capacity under the Convertible Facility, as amended on March 27, 2020 is $285,000,000 of which $135,000,000 had been drawn down in prior tranches. The final $25,000,000 is subject to acceptance by the Company. Certain financial covenants were also modified which include a reduction in the required go-forward minimum cash balance and the removal of the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement that was to become effective in calendar 2021. The Third Amendment removed the accelerated and forced conversion rights previously held by GGP under the agreement as amended on August 12, 2019.

 

As part of the Third Amendment, the Company agreed to pay GGP 10% of the existing Notes outstanding prior to Tranche 4, including paid-in-kind interest accrued on such Notes (the “Existing Notes”), or $163,997,255, as a restatement fee (the “Restatement Fee”), of which the first 50% of the Restatement Fee was paid through the issuance of additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to $8,199,863 at a conversion price of $0.26 (the “Restatement Fee Notes”). The remaining 50% of the Restatement Fee, or $8,199,863, will be due upon each Incremental Advance on a pro-rata basis of $87,500,000. As additional consideration for the purchase of the Tranche 4 Notes, the lenders participating in Tranche 4 Advance were paid an advance fee of 1.5% (the “Advance Fee”) of the aggregate principal amount, or $187,500, which was withheld from the Tranche 4 funding amount. The 1.5% Advance Fee will also be paid in respect of any Incremental Advances.

 

Under the Amended and Restated SPA, each Incremental Advance will be issued at a conversion price per Subordinate Voting Share equal to the five (5) day VWAP of the Subordinate Voting Shares as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of completion of such Incremental Advance, subject to a minimum price of $0.20 and maximum price of $0.40 (in respect of each Incremental Advance, a “Restatement Conversion Price”), provided that the first Incremental Advance (the “Tranche 4 Advance”) will have a Restatement Conversion Price of $0.26. In addition, as any Incremental Advances are funded, the conversion price of the relative portion of the Existing Notes will be amended to the Restatement Conversion Price.

 

In connection with each Incremental Advance, the Company will also share purchase warrants of the Company (“Incremental Warrants”) representing 100% coverage on the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Advance, each of which will be exercisable to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance, at an exercise price per Subordinate Voting Share equal to the Restatement Conversion Price for such Incremental Advance. In addition, as any Incremental Advances are funded, the relative portion of the existing share purchase warrants issued under the Convertible Facility and outstanding prior to Tranche 4 (the “Existing Warrants”) will be cancelled and replaced by new share purchase warrants of the Company (the “ Replacement Warrants”), each of which will be exercisable to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance at an exercise price equal to the Restatement Conversion Price for such Incremental Advance. The Incremental Warrants, including the Tranche 4 Warrants, and the Replacement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless (net exercise) basis. In addition, if the Company’s retail operations achieve two (2) consecutive three-month periods of positive after-tax free cash flow during any time prior to the expiry date for the Replacement Warrants, then all outstanding Replacement Warrants will be automatically cancelled upon achieving the milestone.

 

The principal amount of the Existing Notes that will be repriced and the number of Existing Warrants that will be cancelled and replaced upon an Incremental Advance will be based on the percentage that the amount of such Incremental Advance is of a total funding target of $100,000,000 (the “Funding Target Percentage”). The applicable Existing Notes will be repriced to the Restatement Conversion Price for such Incremental Advance. The Incremental Replacement Warrants issued as a part of such Incremental Advance will represent 50% coverage on the amount determined by multiplying the Funding Target Percentage by $135,000,000. The Third Amendment was a substantial modification in accordance ASC Subtopic 470-50. As a result of the Third Amendment, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $10,706,883. The loss was recorded as a component of other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

19. SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE CREDIT FACILITY (Continued)

 

On July 2, 2020, the Company amended and restated the securities purchase agreement with Gotham Green Partners (“GGP”) under the senior secured convertible credit facility (the “Convertible Facility”) (the “Fourth Amendment”) wherein the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until September 30, 2020 and resetting at $5,000,000 thereafter with incremental increases on March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021. The payment-in-kind feature on the Convertible Facility was also extended, such that 100% of the cash interest due prior to June 2021 will be paid-in-kind and 50% of the cash interest due thereafter will be paid-in-kind. The Fourth Amendment released certain assets from its collateral to allow greater flexibility to generate proceeds through the sale of non-core assets. The Fourth Amendment allows for immediate prepayment of amounts under the Convertible Facility with a 5% prepayment penalty until 2nd anniversary of the Fourth Amendment and 3% prepayment penalty thereafter. As part of the Fourth Amendment, holders of notes under the Convertible Facility were provided down-round protection where issuances of equity interests (including securities that are convertible or exchangeable for equity interests) by the Company at less than the higher of (i) lowest conversion price under the amended and restated notes of the Convertible Facility amendment dated March 27, 2020 and (ii) the highest conversion price determined for any incremental advances, will automatically adjust the conversion/exercise price of the previous tranches and incremental tranche 4 warrants and the related replacement warrants to the price of the newly issued equity interests. Certain issuances of equity interests are exempted such as issuances to existing lenders, equity interests in contemplation at the time of Fourth Amendment and equity interests issued to employees, consultants, directors, advisors or other third parties, in exchange for goods and services or compensation. Pursuant to ASU 2017-11, the down-round protection was not considered a derivative and will be recognized when the down-round protection adjustments are triggered.

 

As consideration for the amendment, the conversion price for 52% of the tranches 1 through 3 and the first amendment fee notes outstanding under the Convertible Facility were amended to $0.34 per share. An amendment fee of $2,000,000 was also paid through the issuance of additional notes at a conversion price of $0.28 per share. The Fourth Amendment to the Convertible Facility was deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50 and a loss on extinguishment of $10,129,655 was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended June 26, 2021.

 

On September 14, 2020, the Company closed on an incremental advance in the amount of $5,000,000 under its existing Convertible Facility with GGP at a conversion price of $0.20 per share. In connection with the incremental advance, the Company issued 25,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share. In addition, 1,080,255 existing warrants were cancelled and replaced with 16,875,001 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Facility, the conversion price for 5.0% of the existing Notes outstanding prior to Tranche 4 and Incremental Advance (including paid-in-kind interest accrued on such Notes), being 5.0% of an aggregate principal amount of $170,729,923, was amended to $0.20 per share. As consideration for the additional advance, the Company issued convertible notes as consideration for a $468,564 fee with a conversion price of $0.20 per share.

 

On September 16, 2020 and September 28, 2020, the down round feature on the convertible notes and warrants issued in connection with Tranche 4, Incremental Advances and certain amendment fees was triggered wherein the exercise price was adjusted to $0.17 and $0.15 per share, respectively. The value of the effect of the down round feature on convertible notes and warrants was determined to be $32,744,770 and $6,723,954, respectively, for the year ended June 26, 2021. The effect related to convertible notes was recognized as additional debt discount and an increase in additional paid-in-capital. The effect related to warrants was recognized as a deemed distribution and an increase in additional paid-in capital.

 

On November 1, 2020, the Company repaid $8,000,000 of borrowings under the Convertible Facility and recorded a loss $943,707 on the partial extinguishment of debt and is included in the net effect on equity component of new and amended debt in the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of senior secured convertible credit facility for the year ended June 26, 2021.

 

On January 11, 2021, the Company amended and restated the securities purchase agreement under the Convertible Facility (the “Fifth Amendment”) wherein the minimum liquidity covenant was waived until June 30, 2021 and resetting at $7,500,000 effective on July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, and $15,000,000 thereafter, and waiver of the minimum liquidity covenant if the Company is current on cash interest. Furthermore, covenants with regards to non-operating leases, capital expenditures and corporate SG&A will now be tied to a board of directors approved budget. In conjunction with the Fifth Amendment, the Company received an additional advance of $10,000,000 under its existing Convertible Facility with GGP with a conversion price of $0.16 per share. The Company also issued 62,174,567 warrants exercisable for five years at a purchase price of $0.16 per share. The notes, restatement fee notes and warrants are subject to down round adjustment provisions, with certain exceptions, if the Company issues securities at a lower price. The Fifth Amendment to the Convertible Facility was not deemed to be a substantial modification under ASC Subtopic 470-50.

As a result of the amendments during fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, all convertible notes will have a maturity date of 36 months from April 23, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”), with a twelve-month extension feature available to the Company on certain conditions, including payment of an extension fee of 1.0% of the principal amount under the outstanding Convertible Facility, provided that if the Tranche 4 Notes and Funding Commitments reach at least $100,000,000 in the aggregate, GGP will have certain options to extend the Maturity Date up to April 23, 2027. The Convertible Facility will bear interest from their date of issue at LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum. During the first twelve months, interest may be paid-in-kind (“PIK”) at the Company’s option such that any amount of PIK interest will be added to the outstanding principal of the Convertible Facility.

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement letter (the “Letter”) with Gotham Green Partners (“GGP”).

At-the-Market Equity Financing Program

 

On April 10, 2019, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity Corp. pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell Subordinate Voting Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$60,000,000. The At-the-Market equity financing program (the “ATM program”) is designed to enable the Company to issue Subordinate Voting Shares from treasury at a lower cost than traditional offerings, without discount and at prevailing trading prices. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Subordinate Voting Shares under the ATM program principally for general and administrative expenses, working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, the Company had issued 9,789,300 for net proceeds of US$12,399,252.

 

Cancellation of Super Voting Shares

 

Effective as of December 10, 2020, the Company cancelled the remaining 815,295 Class A Super Voting Shares that were granted via proxy to Benjamin Rose wherein no consideration was paid. The effect of the cancellation was recognized as a reduction in the mezzanine equity for the book value of $82,500 and the difference over the repurchase price of nil was recorded to additional paid-in capital. There was no effect on total shareholders’ equity as a result of this cancellation. As of June 26, 2021, there are no outstanding Class A Super Voting Shares.

See “Note 16 - Derivative Liabilities” for further information.

 

Effective as of May 17, 2021, the Company executed the sale of 31,250,000 units and 31,250,000 warrants that were granted through a subscription agreement for a purchase price of $0.32 or aggregated total proceeds of approximately $10,000,000. Each unit consisted of one Class B Subordinate Voting Share and one share purchase warrant of the Company. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of $0.35 for a period of three years following the closing of the transaction. The warrants were classified within shareholders’ equity as additional-paid-in-capital in accordance with ASC 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815-10”) and recorded at fair value.

Prior to November 2019, the Company held 70% of the total outstanding units in LCR Manager, LLC (the “Manager”) which holds less than 0.01% of the total outstanding units in Le Cirque Rouge, LP (the “Operating Partnership,” or the “OP”) in which the investment was accounted for under the equity method due to the Company’s significant influence as a result of LCR Manager, LLC being the manager of the OP and owning equity interests in the OP. The amount of initial investment in the OP was nominal, and thus the equity interests in the OP, and accordingly, the amount of investment, was determined to be insignificant and therefore has not been recorded in these financial statements. Accordingly, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the OP is not significant. During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, the Company sold its interests in LCR Manager, LLC for gross proceeds of $12,500,000 and terminated its management agreement with the Manager.

 

Le Cirque Rouge, LP is a Delaware limited partnership that holds substantially all of the real estate assets owned by the REIT, conducts the REIT’s operations, and is financed by the REIT. Under ASC 810, “Consolidation”, the OP was determined to be a variable interest entity in which the Company has a variable interest. The Company was determined to have an implicit variable interest in the OP based on the leasing relationship and arrangement with the REIT. The Company was not determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect its economic performance. As of June 26, 2021, the Company continues to have a variable interest in the OP. During the fiscal years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to the REIT other than the completion of the sale and leaseback transactions and the REIT being a lessor on various leases as described in “Note 17 – Leases”. Accordingly, Le Cirque Rouge, LP is not consolidated as a variable interest entity within the consolidated financial statements.

The types of equity instruments issuable under the Incentive Plan encompass, among other things, stock options, stock grants, restricted stock units (together, “Awards”). Stock based compensation expenses are recorded as a component of general and administrative to the extent that the Company has not appointed a Compensation Committee, all rights and obligations under the Incentive Plan shall be those of the full Board of Directors. The maximum number of Awards that may be issued under the Incentive Plan shall be determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors in the absence of a Compensation Committee. Any shares subject to an Award under the Incentive Plan that are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised, are settled in cash, or are used or withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations, shall again be available for Awards under the Incentive Plan. Vesting of Awards will be determined by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors in absence of one. The exercise price for Awards (if applicable) will generally not be less than the fair market value of the Award at the time of grant and will generally expire after 10 years.

 

A summary of share-based compensation expense for the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 is as follows:

 

Schedule of share-based compensation expense

On February 1, 2020, Adam Bierman resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and surrendered all Class A Super Voting Shares to the Company. See “Note 20 – Shareholders’ Equity” for further information on Mr. Bierman’s Super Voting Shares. As payment of severance to Mr. Bierman, the Company will compensate Mr. Bierman in the form of securities, of which the number of issued securities and the aggregate amount is approximately 3,700,000 of which half are in Class B Subordinate Voting Shares and half are in RSUs. The RSUs have a term of 10 years and vest when the Company’s Class B Subordinate Voting Shares have a daily VWAP of at least $2.05 for 25 consecutive days. As of June 26, 2021, $475,650 was accrued in current liabilities for the amount owed to Adam Bierman related to the Super Voting Shares cancelled. This liability is to be settled in Class B Subordinate Voting Shares and RSUs. In addition, the Company amended the terms of the 9,661,939 LTIP Units held by Mr. Bierman wherein the vesting period was extended to ten years from February 1, 2020. The Company analyzed the impact of the modification on its consolidated financial statements and determined the modification did not have a significant impact on its Consolidated Statements of Operations and its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of and for the year ended June 27, 2020.

The following table summarizes the stock options that remain outstanding as of June 26, 2021:

 

Schedule of stock options that remain outstanding                            
Security Issuable   Exercise Price     Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years     Stock Options Outstanding     Stock Options Exercisable

                  14,752,960       5,369,540  

 

For the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the fair value of stock options granted with a fixed exercise price was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions at the time of grant:

 

Schedule of Black-Scholes option-pricing model                
    2021     2020  
             
Weighted-Average Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate     1.05 %     1.60 %
Weighted-Average Expected Annual Dividend Yield     0.0 %     0.0 %
Weighted-Average Expected Stock Price Volatility     116.5 %     91.0 %
Weighted-Average Expected Life in Years     7.50       7.50  
Weighted-Average Estimated Forfeiture Rate     40.0 %     40.0 %

 

Stock price volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares and the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly-traded cannabis companies and beginning March 28, 2021, was solely based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares. The expected life represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate was based on Bank of Canada zero coupon bond with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. There were no stock options granted during the year ended June 26, 2021. For the year ended June 27, 2020, the fair value of stock options granted with vesting contingent upon achievement of certain price targets was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model taking into account the fair value of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares on the date of grant and into the future encompassing a wide range of possible future market conditions. The following assumptions were used at the time of grant:

 

Schedule of fair value grant        
    2020  
       
Weighted-Average Stock Price   C$2.65  
Weighted-Average Probability     6.0 %
Weighted-Average Term in Years     3.0  
Weighted-Average Volatility     83.3 %

 

During the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $0.17 and $0.98, respectively, per option. As of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, stock options outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 5.4 years and 7.5 years, respectively.

21. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

 

Certain restricted stock units have vesting which is based on market conditions. For restricted stock units that have no market condition vesting, the fair value was determined using the trading value of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the date of grant.

21. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

 

The fair value of warrants exercisable for MedMen Corp Redeemable Shares was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions on the date of issuance:

 

Schedule of fair value of warrants                
    2021     2020  
             
Weighted-Average Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate     0.13 %     2.20 %
Weighted-Average Expected Annual Dividend Yield     0 %     0 %
Weighted-Average Expected Stock Price Volatility     92.06 %     88.19 %
Weighted-Average Expected Life of Warrants     1 year       1 year  

 

The fair value of warrants exercisable for the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions on the latest modification of January 29, 2021:

 

Weighted-Average Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate     0.06 %
Weighted-Average Expected Annual Dividend Yield     0 %
Weighted-Average Expected Stock Price Volatility     175.50 %
Weighted-Average Expected Life of Warrants     1 year  

 

Stock price volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares and the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly-traded cannabis companies and beginning March 28, 2021, was solely based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares. The expected life in years represents the period of time that warrants issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the warrants. 97,785,140 of warrants are cancelable if the Company meets certain cash flow metrics for nine consecutive months. The effects of contingent cancellation feature were included in determining the fair value of the related warrants. On April 21, 2021, the contingent cancellation feature was met and the related warrants were cancelled.

 

As of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, warrants outstanding have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 44.7 and 46.2 months, respectively. 

 

22. LOSS PER SHARE

 

The following is a reconciliation for the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020:

 

Schedule of basic and diluted loss per share                
    2021     2020  
             
Net Loss from Continuing Operations Attributable to Shareholders of MedMen Enterprises, Inc.   $ (111,993,197 )   $ (177,313,705 )
Less Deemed Dividend - Down Round Feature of Warrants     (6,364,183 )     -  
                 
Net Loss from Continuing Operations Available to Shareholders of MedMen Enterprises, Inc.     (118,357,380 )     (177,313,705 )
Net Loss from Discontinued Operations     (12,152,328 )     (69,950,677 )
                 
Total Net Loss   $ (130,509,708 )   $ (247,264,382 )
                 
Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding - Basic and Diluted     530,980,011       270,418,842  
                 
Loss Per Share - Basic and Diluted:                
                 
From Continuing Operations Attributable to Shareholders of MedMen Enterprises Inc.   $ (0.22 )   $ (0.66 )
                 
From Discontinued Operations Attributable to Shareholders of MedMen Enterprises Inc.   $ (0.02 )   $ (0.26 )

 

Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the issuance of shares on the exercise of convertible debentures, LTIP share units, warrants and share options is anti-dilutive.

Total Other Operating Income   $ (24,699,302 )   $ (9,116,114 )

 

24. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

 

As the Company operates in the legal cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal, Illinois state, Florida state and New York state income tax purposes under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. However, the State of California does not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its California Franchise Tax Returns.

 

The Company intends to be treated as a United States corporation for United States federal income tax purposes under section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code and is expected to be subject to United States federal income tax. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company is expected, regardless of any application of section 7874 of the U.S. Tax Code, to be treated as a Canadian resident company (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”) for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Corporation will be subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.

 

The Company has approximately gross $8,500,000 (tax effected $2,300,000) of Canadian non-capital losses and $6,915,000 (tax effected $1,833,000) of Share Issuance cost 20(1)(e) balance. The loss tax attribute has been determined to be more likely than not that the tax attribute would not yield any tax benefit. As such, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the benefit. Since IRC Section 280E was not applied in the California Franchise Tax returns, the Company has approximately $171,000,000 of gross California net operating losses which begin expiring in 2033 as of June 26, 2021. The Company has evaluated the realization of its California net operating loss tax attribute and has determined under the more likely than not standard that $169,200,000 will not be realized.

While management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, marijuana regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties or restrictions in the future.

 

Claims and Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of June 26, 2021, there were no pending or threatening lawsuits that could be reasonably assessed to have resulted in a probable loss to the Company in an amount that can be reasonably estimated. As such, no accrual has been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements relating to claims and litigations. As of June 26, 2021, there are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

 

In July 2018, a legal claim was filed against the Company related to alleged misrepresentations in respect of a financing transaction completed in May 2018. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the claim was settled for a total of C$575,000 of which C$250,000 shall be paid in Class B Subordinate Voting Shares. The settlement liability has been accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In late January 2019, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) filed a complaint against MM Enterprises in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, seeking damages for claims relating to his employment. The Company is currently defending against this lawsuit, which seeks damages for wrongful termination, breach of contract, and breach of implied covenant of good faith. The former CFO’s employment agreement provided for the payment of severance in the event of termination without cause. The Company disputes the claims set forth in this lawsuit and believes that the outcome is neither probable nor estimable. As of June 26, 2021, $584,000 has been accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In March 2020, litigation was filed against the Company related to a purchase agreement for a previous acquisition. The Company is currently defending against this lawsuit, which seeks damages for fraudulent inducement and breach of contract. The Company believes the likelihood of a loss contingency is neither probable nor estimable. As such, no amount has been accrued in these financial statements.

 

In April 2020, a complaint was filed against the Company related to a contemplated acquisition in which the plaintiffs are seeking damages for alleged breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. While no amounts have been identified in the claim, the Company estimated this to be approximately $5,200,000. The Company believes the likelihood of a loss contingency is neither probable nor remote. As such, no amount has been accrued in the financial statements.

 

In May 2020, litigation was filed against the Company related to a purchase agreement and secured promissory note for a previous acquisition. The Company is currently defending against this lawsuit, which claims for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, common law fraud and securities fraud. The plaintiffs are seeking damages for such claims in which the amount is currently not reasonably estimable. Therefore, pursuant to ASC 450, “Contingencies” (“ASC 450”), a liability has not been recorded in these audited Consolidated Financial Statements. In response, the Company filed a counterclaim and is seeking entitlement to proceeds of the sale, net of amounts owed under the secured promissory note which is in dispute. The plaintiffs filed an appeal to the ruling on the entitlement of proceeds in excess of the secured promissory note. In accordance with ASC 450, any loss recoveries related to the Company’s counterclaim have not been recorded. In addition, net proceeds resulting from the sale was not recognized as a receivable as the amount is not reasonably estimable. See “Note 18 – Notes Payable” for the secured promissory note related to this litigation.

25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

 

In September 2020, a legal dispute was filed against the Company related to the separation of a former officer in which the severance issued is currently being disputed. The Company believes the likelihood of loss is remote. As a result, no amount has been set up for potential damages in these financial statements.

 

In February 2020, a legal dispute was filed against the Company and settled in December 2020 for approximately $2,400,000. As of June 26, 2021, the remaining amount has been accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In December 2020, a lawsuit was filed against the Company related to a previous acquisition alleging that the plaintiffs were owed additional compensation. In the complaint, the plaintiffs allege breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair delaying, fraud and unjust enrichment, among other causes of actions. The plaintiffs are seeking the issuance of 51,716,141 shares, which has been accrued in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 26, 2021, and other monetary damages. The litigation is at an early stage and the likelihood of a loss contingency is remote. The amount of monetary damages is not reasonably estimable and thus, no amount has been accrued in these financial statements.

 

In January 2021, a cross-complaint was filed against the Company related a lien foreclosure alleging breach of contract, quantum merit and implied indemnity. The Company is actively defending the legal matter which the claimant is seeking damages of approximately $11,000,000. The litigation is at an early stage and thus the likelihood of a loss contingency is remote. As such, no amount has been accrued in these financial statements. 

 

26. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

All related party balances due to the Company as of June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 did not have any formal contractual agreements regarding payment terms or interest. As of February 2020 and May 2020, Mr. Adam Bierman and Mr. Andrew Modlin, respectively, no longer held board or management positions and therefore as of June 26, 2021, they are not considered related parties under ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” (“ASC 850”), however they were during the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020. As of November 2020, Mr. Chris Ganan was no longer a member of the Company’s board of directors and therefore is not considered a related party under ASC 850, as of June 26, 2021, however Mr. Ganan was a related party during the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020. As of June 27, 2020, amounts due from MMOF GP II (“Fund LP II”) and MedMen Opportunity Fund GP, LLC (“Fund LP”) were $1,820,204 and $1,289,513, respectively, were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 26, 2021, other amounts due to related parties was $1,476,921. As of June 27, 2020, amounts due to Fund LP II, Fund LP and other related parties were $1,093,896, $1,986,697 and $1,476,221, respectively, were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Pursuant to the Side Letter executed on July 2, 2020 in conjunction with the Fourth Amendment of the Convertible Facility with GGP, Wicklow Capital and GGP had the right to approve director nominees submitted by the Company. The ability to approve the nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors met the definition of control under ASC 850 and accordingly, Wicklow Capital is a related party of the Company. See “Note 18 – Notes Payable” for a disclosure of transaction related to the unsecured convertible facility during the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021.

 

As of June 26, 2021, the Company determined GGP to be a related party as a result of GGP having significant influence over the Company. See “Note 19 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” for a full disclosure of transactions and balances related to GGP.

 

In March 2020, the Company entered into a restructuring plan and retained interim management and advisory firm, Sierra Constellation Partners LLC (“SCP”). As part of the engagement, Tom Lynch was appointed as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Restructuring Officer, and Tim Bossidy was appointed as Interim Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Lynch is a Partner and Senior Managing Director at SCP. Mr. Bossidy is a Director at SCP. In December 2020, Mr. Lynch was elected as Chairman of the Board and Reece Fulgham, a Managing Director at SCP, was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer. During the year ended June 26, 2021, the Company had paid $3,113,364 in fees to SCP for interim management and restructuring support. During the year ended June 26, 2021, Mr. Lynch and Mr. Bossidy each received 124,868 stock options.

27. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

The Company currently operates in one segment, the production and sale of cannabis products, which is how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker manages the business and makes operating decisions. The Company’s cultivation operations are not considered significant to the overall operations of the Company. Intercompany sales and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. 

 

28. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, the Company contemplated the divesture of non-core assets and management entered into a plan to sell its operations in the state of Arizona. As a result, the assets and liabilities allocable to the operations within the state of Arizona were classified as a discontinued operation. The assets associated with the Arizona components were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or FVLCTS. Revenue and expenses, gains or losses relating to the discontinuation of Arizona operations were eliminated from profit or loss from the Company’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, the Company began separate negotiations to sell its operations in the state of Arizona, including the related management entities. In October 2020, Kannaboost Technology Inc. and CSI Solutions LLC (collectively referred to as “Level Up”) was sold at auction for a total sales price of $25,150,000, of which the Company has not received the proceeds as of June 26, 2021. Refer to “Note 25 – Commitments and Contingencies” for further information. All outstanding membership interests in Level Up and all operational control and risk of loss was transferred to the purchaser on November 5, 2020. The Company recognized a loss upon sale of membership interests of $1,628,124 for the net carrying value of the assets as of the disposition date which was determined as the book value less direct costs to sell and is recognized as a component of loss on disposal of assets and other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Discontinued Operations during the year ended June 26, 2021. As of June 26, 2021, Level Up has been fully deconsolidated by the Company and the Company does not have any continuing involvement with the former subsidiary outside of the litigation disclosed in “Note 25 – Commitments and Contingencies”.

 

During the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, the Company had a change in plan of sale for the remaining Arizona disposal group in response to changes in its regulatory environment as well as its financial condition which allowed capital to be raised and the disposal group assets to be retained. As a result, the assets no longer meet the held for sale criteria and are required to be reclassified as held and used at the lower of adjusted carrying value (carrying value of the assets prior to being classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation and/or amortization expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used) or the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. During the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, revenues in the amount of $11,316,081 and $6,319,028, respectively, were reclassified to continuing operations and is included as a component of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, net loss in the amount of $12,350,388 and $21,572,840, respectively, were reclassified to continuing operations and is included as a component of net loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used was $1,158,886 and $370,790, for the year ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, and is included as a component of depreciation and amortization expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

28. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (Continued)

 

On January 29, 2018, the Company acquired all membership interests and assets in Project Compassion NY, LLC (“Project Compassion”) as a part of the formation of MM Enterprises USA through a joint venture. Through Project Compassion, the Company has one cultivation and production facility in Utica, New York, and operates four dispensaries in the state of New York that are located in Buffalo, Lake Success, Salina and Manhattan (collectively, “MedMen NY, Inc.”). During the fiscal third quarter of 2021, the Company contemplated the divesture of non-core assets and management entered into a plan to sell MedMen NY, Inc. On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive investment agreement to sell a controlling interest in MedMen NY, Inc. equity of approximately 86.7% with the option to purchase the remaining equity of approximately 13.3% that the Company will retain in MedMen NY, Inc. following the sale for a total sales price of up to $73,000,000. In conjunction with the investment agreement, MedMen NY, Inc. will engage the services of the purchaser pursuant to a management agreement until regulatory approval has been obtained. The aggregate sales price consists of a cash purchase price of $35,000,000, subject to adjustments and a senior secured promissory note of $28,000,000 which shall be assigned to Hankey Capital in partial satisfaction of the outstanding debt, and within five business days after the first sale by MedMen NY, Inc. of adult-use cannabis products at one or more of its retail store locations, additional shares of MedMen NY, Inc. will be purchased for $10,000,000 in cash. The proceeds in cash will be used to repay a portion of the Hankey Capital notes payable due by the Company. Accordingly, the total amount of interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and loan origination fees related to the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility allocated to discontinued operations was $16,199,865 and $10,542,120 for the years ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020. Refer to “Note 18 – Notes Payable” for discussion on the outstanding Facility. As of June 26, 2021, the initial closing of the investment has not occurred and is expected to close within the next twelve months.

 

Consequently, assets and liabilities allocable to the operations within the state of New York were classified as a discontinued operation. Revenue and expenses, gains or losses relating to the discontinuation of New York operations have been eliminated from profit or loss from the Company’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets associated with the New York component have been measured at the lower of the carrying amount or FVLCTS. The Company will continue to operate the New York operations until the ultimate sale of the disposal group.

29. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 23, 2021, which is the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and has concluded that the following subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company announced that Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”) acquired a majority of the outstanding senior secured convertible notes under the Convertible Facility with GGP (the “Notes”). Under the terms of the transaction, a newly formed limited partnership (the “SPV”) established by Tilray and other strategic investors acquired an aggregate principal amount of approximately $165,800,000 of the Notes and warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Facility, representing 75% of the outstanding Notes and 65% of the outstanding warrants under the Convertible Facility. Specifically, Tilray’s interest in the SPV represents rights to 68% of the Notes and related warrants held by the SPV, which are convertible into, and exercisable for, approximately 21% of the outstanding Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of MedMen upon closing of the transaction.

 

In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company amended and restated the securities purchase agreement with GGP (“Sixth Amendment”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date to August 17, 2028, eliminate any cash interest obligations and instead provide for payment-in-kind interest, eliminate certain repricing provisions, and eliminate and revise certain restrictive covenants. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, accrued payment-in-kind interest on the Notes will be convertible at price equal to the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of the Subordinate Voting Shares. The Notes may not be prepaid until the federal legalization of marijuana. The Notes will also provide the holders with a top-up right to acquire additional Subordinate Voting Shares and a pre-emptive right with respect to future financings of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, upon the issuance by MedMen of certain equity or equity-linked securities. No changes have been made to the conversion and exercise prices of the Notes or related warrants.

 

Equity Investment Through Private Placement

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various investors led by Serruya Private Equity Inc. (“SPE”) to purchase $100,000,000 of units (“Units”) of the Company at a purchase price of $0.24 per Unit (the “Private Placement”) wherein certain investors associated with SPE agreed to backstop the Private Placement (the “Backstop Commitment”). In consideration for providing the Backstop Commitment, such investors will receive a fee of $2,500,000 to be paid in the form of Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (each, a “Share”) at a deemed price of $0.24 (C$0.32) per Share.

 

Each Unit consists of one Share and one-quarter share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant permits the holder to purchase one Share for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.288 (C$0.384) per Share. Each Unit issued to certain funds associated with SPE consists of one Share and one-quarter of one Warrant plus a proportionate interest in a short-term warrant (the “Short-Term Warrant”) which expires on December 31, 2021. The Short-Term Warrant entitles the holders to acquire, at the option of the holders and upon payment of $30,000,000, an aggregate of 125,000,000 Units at an exercise price of $0.24 (C$0.32) per Unit, or $30,000,000 principal amount of notes at par, convertible into 125,000,000 Shares at a conversion price of $0.24 (C$0.32) per Share.
