Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

 

 

NOTE 1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco Labs” or the “Company”), formerly known as Randsburg International Gold Corp. was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. The Company is one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell retail and medical cannabis products primarily through Sunnyside*®, Cresco Labs’ national dispensary brand and third-party retail stores. Employing a consumer-packaged goods approach to cannabis, Cresco Labs’ house of brands is designed to meet the needs of all consumer segments and includes some of the most recognized and trusted national brands including Cresco®, Cresco Reserve®, High Supply®, Mindy’sTM, Good News®, RemediTM, Wonder Wellness Co.® and FloraCal® Farms. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Arizona, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Florida and Maryland pursuant to the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act and the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act; the Pennsylvania Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act; the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program; the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act; the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act and the Smart and Safe Arizona Act; the New York Compassionate Care Act and the New York Marijuana Regulation and Tax Act; the Massachusetts Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act and the Medical Use of Marijuana Act; the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act and the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act; the Florida Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act; and the Maryland Medical Marijuana Act, respectively.

On November 30, 2018, in connection with a reverse takeover (the “Transaction”), the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg common shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing classes of common shares, redesignate such classes as the class of SVS and create the classes of PVS and Super Voting Shares (“MVS”).

Pursuant to the Transaction, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco Labs, LLC, a series of transactions were completed on November 30, 2018 resulting in a reorganization of Cresco Labs, LLC and Randsburg in which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco Labs. The Transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco Labs, LLC, under applicable securities laws. Cresco Labs, LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Cresco LLC limited liability agreement (“Pre-Combination LLC Agreement”). The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Transaction.

The Company trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol “CL,” on the Over-the-Counter Market under the ticker symbol “CRLBF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “6CQ.”

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110, 400 W Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654. The registered office is located at Suite 2500, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

 

 

NOTE 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

(a)

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270 Interim Reporting. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as filed on SEDAR. Consolidated Balance Sheets for the year ended December 31, 2021 are derived from audited financial statements filed on SEDAR on March 25, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other reporting period. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

(b)

Basis of Measurement

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain equity method investments as well as certain loans receivable, investments, derivative instruments and contingent consideration, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets acquired and the contractual obligation for liabilities incurred.

 

(c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of its subsidiaries is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other expense, net in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than USD (e.g., C$) are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date; revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rate of exchange during the period.

(a)

Cresco Labs Michigan, LLC is 85% owned by related parties within management of the Company.

Cresco U.S. Corp., which is wholly owned by the Company, is the sole manager of Cresco Labs, LLC; Cresco Labs, LLC is the sole owner and manager of Cresco Labs Notes Issuer, LLC. Therefore, the Company controls Cresco Labs Notes Issuer, LLC and has consolidated its results into the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) represent ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries by parties that are not shareholders of the Company. They are shown as a component of total equity in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets and the share of net income attributable to NCI is shown as a component of Net loss in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. Changes in the parent company’s ownership that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

 

(e)

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. The Company presents basic and diluted EPS in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential shares, which are comprised of redeemable Cresco Labs, LLC shares; options, warrants and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued. Shares with anti-dilutive impacts are excluded from the calculation. The number of shares included with respect to redeemable shares, options, warrants and RSUs is computed using the treasury stock method.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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). ASU 2020-06 simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The amendments in this update are effective for all business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options due to a lack of explicit guidance in the FASB Codification. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Weighted-average stock price of options on the dates on which options were exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $6.52 per option.

The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:

 

     March 31, 2022

Risk-free annual interest rate

   1.4% - 1.9%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%

Expected stock price volatility

   77.0% to 78.9%

Expected life of stock options

   5.5 to 7 years

Forfeiture rate

   9.4% - 21.3%

Fair value at grant date

   $3.51 to $4.90

Stock price at grant date

   $5.59 to $6.91

Exercise price range

   $6.03 to $6.91

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of direct and indirect peers of publicly traded companies, as the Company and the cannabis industry have minimal historical share price history available. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical forfeitures experienced by the Company.

While all amounts remain subject to adjustments, the areas subject to the most significant potential adjustments are inventory, fixed assets, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and liabilities and short-term liabilities. Any changes to the preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

(iii) CP Pennsylvania Holdings, LLC (“Cure Penn”)

While all amounts remain subject to adjustments, the areas subject to the most significant potential adjustments are intangible assets, consideration (working capital adjustment) and short-term liabilities. Any changes to the preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

(iv) Laurel Harvest Labs, LLC (“Laurel Harvest”)

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments related to deferred taxes and income taxes payable, which resulted in a net reduction in goodwill of $0.7 million.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a contingent consideration of $29.6 million related to the Cultivate acquisition. The former owners of Cultivate are entitled to an earnout of up to $68.0 million, which is expected to be paid during the second quarter of 2022. At December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the Company remeasured the fair value, based on Cultivate’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, increasing the value to $34.0 million and $39.6 million, respectively. Losses related to the earnout adjustments were included in Other expense, net, in these periods.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded $37.9 million short-term deferred consideration and $9.0 million long-term deferred consideration, for a total of $46.9 million deferred consideration related to the Laurel Harvest acquisition. Total deferred payment of $50.0 million is payable within 18 months of the acquisition date; however, the timing of the payment can be accelerated based on timing of the opening of five (5) new dispensaries. Based on the current projections of timing of the opening of these dispensaries and the deferred consideration earnings associated with each, the Company reclassified $9.0 million of long-term deferred consideration to short-term deferred consideration as of March 31, 2022.

Senior Loan and Amended Term Loan

On February 2, 2020, the Company closed on a senior secured term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”) for an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, with the option to increase the principal amount to $200 million. Of the $100 million Term Loan commitment, $92.4 million was committed by Tranche A lenders (the “Tranche A Commitment”) and $7.6 million was committed by Tranche B lenders (the “Tranche B Commitment”).

The Tranche A Commitment accrued interest at a rate of 12.7% per annum, payable in cash quarterly and had a stated maturity of July 22, 2021. The Tranche B Commitment accrued interest at a rate of 13.2% per annum, payable in cash quarterly and had a stated maturity of January 22, 2022. The Company’s effective interest rates for the Tranche A Commitment and Tranche B Commitment of the Term Loan were 17.0% and 16.1%, respectively.

On December 11, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to exercise the mutual option to increase the principal amount to $200 million and refinance the existing Term Loan and the Opaskwayak Cree Nation Loan (the “OCN Loan”), resulting in one amended term loan (the “Amended Term Loan”). Of the $200 million Amended Term Loan commitment, $11.7 million was committed by non-extending lenders (the “Non-Extending Lenders Commitment”), $97.3 million was committed by extending lenders (the “Extending Lenders Commitment”) and $91.0 million was committed by increasing lenders (the “Increasing Lenders Commitment”).

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

 

 

The Non-Extending Lenders Commitment accrued interest at a rate of 12.7% per annum, payable in cash quarterly. The Extending Lenders Commitment and Increasing Lenders Commitment (the “Extending and Increasing Lenders Commitment”) accrued interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, payable in cash quarterly. The Company’s effective interest rates for the Non-Extending Lenders Commitment and the Extending and Increasing Lenders Commitment were 17.7% and 15.8%, respectively.

On August 12, 2021, the Company closed on an agreement for a senior secured term loan with an undiscounted principal balance of $400 million (the “Senior Loan”) and an original issue discount of $13.0 million. A portion of proceeds from the Senior Loan were used to retire the existing Amended Term Loan, with the remainder to fund capital expenditures and pursue other targeted growth initiatives within the U.S. cannabis sector.

The Senior Loan accrues interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually and has a stated maturity of August 2026. The Company’s effective interest rate for the Senior Loan is 11.0%. The Company capitalized $10.9 million of borrowing costs related to the Senior Loan, of which $7.0 million is payable upon principal repayment of the Senior Loan and thus, is reflected within Other long-term liabilities.

The Senior Loan is secured by a guarantee from substantially all material subsidiaries of the Company, as well as by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and such material subsidiaries. The Senior Loan also contains negative covenants, which restrict the actions of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term of the loan, including restrictions on paying dividends, making investments and incurring additional indebtedness. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $50 million and to ensure that the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio; defined as the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA less unfinanced capital expenditures; restricted payments, as defined by the loan agreement; and federal, state, provincial, local and foreign income taxes (b) consolidated fixed charges; is not less than 2 to 1. As of May 18, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Company may prepay in whole or in part the Senior Loan at any time prior to the stated maturity date, subject to certain conditions, upon the payment of the outstanding principal amount (plus a specified prepayment premium) and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees. Interest expense is discussed in Note 19.

As discussed in Note 10, on March 23, 2022, the Company announced it had entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Columbia Care to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Columbia Care. On March 23, 2022, Cresco entered into a consent agreement with respect to the Senior Loan pursuant to which certain amendments were made to the Senior Loan which are conditional and effective on the closing of the Arrangement (the “Amended Senior Loan”). The Amended Senior Loan permits the Arrangement, Cresco’s assumption of certain Columbia Care debt and certain proposed asset sales in connection with the Arrangement, in each case, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Senior Loan.

 

(b)

Financing Liabilities

The Company recognized financing liabilities in relation to sale-leaseback transactions for which the incremental borrowing rates range from 11.2% to 17.5% with remaining terms between 7.8 and 18.3 years, consistent with the underlying lease liabilities.

Total Revenue

   $ 214,391      $ 178,437  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The Company generates revenue, net of sales discounts, at the point in time the control of the product is transferred to the customer, as the Company has a right to payment and the customer has assumed significant risks and rewards of such product without any remaining performance obligation. Sales discounts were approximately 10.0% and 3.9% of gross revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

(b)

Loyalty Programs

In the states of Illinois, Arizona, Pennsylvania, New York and Florida; the Company has customer loyalty programs where retail customers accumulate points based on their level of spending. These points are recorded as a contract liability until customers redeem their points for discounts on cannabis products as part of an in-store sales transaction. In addition, the Company records a performance obligation as a reduction of revenue that ranges between $0.01 and $0.04 per loyalty point. Upon redemption, the loyalty program obligation is relieved and the offset is recorded as revenue. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 112.3 million and 58.9 million points outstanding, with an approximate value of $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

 

(a)

Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2022, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits, except as disclosed below, that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

 

(b)

Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on the Company’s operations, suspension or revocation permits, or other disciplinary actions (collectively, “Disciplinary Actions”) that could adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with applicable regulations as of March 31, 2022, these regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations and enforcement. As a result, the Company may be subject to Disciplinary Actions in the future.

 

(c)

Commitments

During the first quarter of 2022, pursuant to the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, the Company issued $0.2 million in loans to an Illinois company which has secured Craft Grower Licenses to operate in the state and $1.0 million in loans to groups that have been identified by the state of Illinois as having the opportunity to receive Conditional Adult Use Dispensing Organization Licenses.

The Company has employment agreements with key management personnel which include severance in the event of termination totaling approximately $4.6 million with additional equity and/or benefit compensation.

NOTE 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

 

Financial

Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses as applicable) or fair value. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at fair value.

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The December 31, 2021 Level 3 asset balance of $1.2 million decreased by $0.6 million to a March 31, 2022 balance of $0.7 million. The decrease was driven by the settlement of the Lighthouse loan during the quarter, which was classified as Loans receivable, short-term.

The December 31, 2021 Level 3 liability balance of $90.6 million, increased by $5.4 million compared to the March 31, 2022 balance of $96.0 million. The increase was driven by an $5.7 million increase to the fair value of the Cultivate contingent consideration balance, offset by a decrease to warrants, driven by decreases in remaining expected warrant life and decreases in the Company’s share price, partially offset by increases in the volatility assumption for the Company’s shares. During the quarter, $9.0 million was reclassified from long-term to short-term related to the Laurel Harvest deferred consideration liability. See Note 10 for additional discussion of that reclassification.

Share Purchase Warrants

At March 31, 2022, the Company had 9.5 million warrants outstanding, of which 4.2 million are classified as current liabilities. 3.7 million of these liability-classified warrants are from issuances to underwriters associated with the September 2019 financing. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no September 2019 financing warrants were exercised.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain of $0.4 million, primarily due to changes in the Company’s share price, volatility and remaining expected life; additionally, the Company recorded $nil in unrealized gain/loss on foreign exchange. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $7.6 million, primarily due to changes in the Company’s share price and other market factors and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.3 million.

All warrants classified as derivative liabilities are measured at fair value. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of liability-classified warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

 

     March 31, 2022    December 31, 2021

Risk-free annual interest rate

   0.62%    0.15%

Expected annual dividend yield

   0%    0%

Expected stock price volatility

   59.4%    47.3%

Expected life of stock warrants

   < 1 year    < 1 year

Forfeiture rate

   0%    0%

Share price at period end

   $6.03    $6.62

Strike price at period end

   $10.00    $9.86

Volatility was calculated by using the Company’s historical share volatility. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life in years represents the period of time before warrants expire. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the warrants. The Company does not expect grantees to forfeit warrants.

Financial

Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board and the Company’s management mitigate these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

(a)

Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or a third-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers or loan counterparties, based on cannabis industry growth in its key markets and the low interest rate environment. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the U.S. House of Representatives but have not yet been voted on within the U.S. Senate. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept or deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry, leading to an increased risk of legal actions against the Company and forfeitures of the Company’s assets.

The Company’s aging of Accounts receivables as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was as follows:

   March 31,
2022
     December 31,

Total Accounts receivable, net

   $ 48,691      $ 43,379  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, to account for ECL and recorded an additional $nil and $0.4 million, respectively, in bad debt related to invoice write-offs.

 

(b)

Asset Forfeiture Risk

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 was 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.

 

(c)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company primarily manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure by ensuring that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) of $68.6 million. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion.

Market Risk

 

  (i)

Currency Risk

The operating results and balance sheet of the Company are reported in USD. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are primarily in USD. However, from time to time some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than USD. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded $0.1 million in foreign exchange gains and $0.7 million in foreign exchange losses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

 

  (ii)

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An increase or decrease in the Company’s incremental borrowing rate would result in an associated increase or decrease in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables and Interest expense, net. The Company’s Senior Loan accrues at a rate of 9.5% per annum and has an effective interest rate of 11.0%.

 

  (iii)

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities and contingent consideration that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price would result in an associated increase or decrease to Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables, Derivative liabilities, long-term and Deferred consideration and contingent consideration with a corresponding change to Other expense, net.

  (iv)

Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Currently, state-licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of goods sold when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 20 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

  (v)

Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state and national levels. Although the regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware that unforeseen regulatory changes could have a material adverse impact on the goals and operation of the business as a whole.

 

  (vi)

Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Risk

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the first vaccine utilized to prevent coronavirus infection was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As of March 31, 2022, the vaccine is widely available, however, there remains significant economic uncertainty and consequently, it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on the Company’s future financial results.

NOTE 20. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

 

As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as, certain state income tax purposes. Under IRC Section 280E, 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, certain states including California, Arizona and Maryland do not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its income tax returns in these states.

The Company is treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7874 and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income. As a Canadian resident company, the Company is also subject to Canadian income tax, where applicable.

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:
