In response to these conditions, Leafly management took the following actions: • During the fourth quarter of 2022, Leafly implemented a restructuring plan, including a reduction in force reflecting primarily one-time severance and other employee-related termination benefits incurred during the fourth quarter of 2022. • During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Leafly announced a second restructuring plan further seeking to reduce recurring costs and operating expenditures and identifying cost savings based on a reduction in force reflecting primarily one-time severance and other employee-related termination benefits incurred during the first quarter of 2023.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Leafly for the year ended December 31, 2022, each of which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023 (the “2022 Financial Information”).

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in management's opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring estimates and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated cash flows, operating results, and balance sheets for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Going Concern Evaluation

Under the rules of ASC Subtopic 205-40 “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern” (“ASC 205-40”), reporting companies are required to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about their ability to meet their future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. This evaluation takes into account a company’s current available cash and projected cash needs over the one-year evaluation period but may not consider things beyond its control. Leafly has experienced revenue declines, incurred recurring operating losses, used cash from operations, and relied on the capital raised in the Business Combination to continue ongoing operations. These conditions, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about Leafly’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date these financial statements are issued. In response to these conditions, Leafly management took the following actions:

•

During the fourth quarter of 2022, Leafly implemented a restructuring plan, including a reduction in force reflecting primarily one-time severance and other employee-related termination benefits incurred during the fourth quarter of 2022.

•

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Leafly announced a second restructuring plan further seeking to reduce recurring costs and operating expenditures and identifying cost savings based on a reduction in force reflecting primarily one-time severance and other employee-related termination benefits incurred during the first quarter of 2023.

The restructuring plans above have been implemented and are expected to continue contributing to the cash savings of the Company. The Company’s management is closely monitoring and reducing operating expenses where it is able to, while ensuring the trajectory and viability of the business remains intact. After considering all available evidence, Leafly’s management determined that, based on the cost reduction measures outlined in both actions above, Leafly’s current positive working capital will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the date that these September 30, 2023 financial statements are issued.

Consolidation

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 12, 2023, the Company implemented a one-for-twenty reverse split of its common stock (Note 12). To facilitate comparative analysis, all statements in this Quarterly Report regarding numbers of shares of common stock and all references to prices of a share of common stock, if referencing events or circumstances occurring prior to September 12, 2023, have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split on a pro forma basis.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported net (loss) income.

Seasonality

We may experience seasonality in our business, which we believe has moderate impacts on our overall revenue. In certain years, we've seen seasonal fluctuations that coincide with either federal holidays, generally in the fourth quarter, or industry holidays and events, generally in the spring. Our industry and business history is limited and therefore we cannot be certain that these are known trends or that other trends may develop.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Leafly is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period. In providing this relief, the JOBS Act does not preclude the Company from adopting a new or revised accounting standard earlier than the time that such standard applies to private companies. Leafly will continue to use this relief until the earlier of the date that it (a) is no longer an EGC or (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Such estimates include those related to the fair value of derivative liabilities; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; the fair value of the convertible promissory notes; the estimate of capitalized software costs and useful life of capitalized software; and the fair value of equity issuances. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2022 Financial Information, which describes the Company's significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to our 2022 Annual Report.
