OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY

Columbia Care Inc. (“the Company” or “the Parent”), was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario on August 13, 2018.

The Company’s head office and principal address is 680 Fifth Ave. 24th Floor, New York, New York 10019. The Company’s registered and records office address is 666 Burrard St #1700, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2X8.

On April 26, 2019, the Company completed a reverse takeover (“RTO”) transaction and private placement. Following the RTO, the Company’s Common Shares were listed on the Aequitas NEO exchange, trading under the symbol “CCHW”. As of the time of this report, the Company’s Common Shares are also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “CCHW”, the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol “CCHWF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “3LP”.

On March 23, 2022, the Company and Cresco Labs LLC (“Cresco Labs”) entered into a definitive arrangement agreement, as amended on February 27, 2023 (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which Cresco Labs agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (the “Cresco Transaction”).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, statement of shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments consist only of those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year ending December 31, 2023. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the instructions to Form 10-Q.

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC, on March 29, 2023. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Revenue

The Company’s revenues are disaggregated as follows:


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022
Dispensary	$	114,038	$	109,457	$	223,194	$	212,799
Cultivation and wholesale		15,190		20,093		30,552		39,815
Other		16		21		33		44
	$	129,244	$	129,571		253,779	$	252,658

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company netted discounts of $34,539 and $67,764, respectively, against the revenues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company netted discounts of $22,712 and $48,618, respectively, against the revenues, respectively. Discounts are provided by the Company during promotional days or weekends. Discounts are also provided to employees, seniors and other categories of customers and may include price reductions and coupons.

Income taxes

The Company calculated its actual effective tax rate for the interim period and applied that rate to the interim period results. In accordance with ASC 740-270, at the end of each interim period the Company is required to determine its best estimate of its annual effective tax rate and apply that rate in providing income taxes on an interim period. However, in certain circumstances when the Company concludes it is unable to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate for the year, the actual effective tax rate for the interim period may be used. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of the actual effective tax rate is more appropriate than the estimated annual effective tax rate method as the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pre-tax income due to the stage of growth of the business, the correlation of Selling, General, and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses to revenue that are permanently disallowed via Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, and the timing of the completion of the Cresco transaction.

Modification of debt

The Company accounts for modifications of debt arrangements in accordance with ASC 470-50 Modifications and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”). As such, the Company continues to amortize any remaining unamortized debt discount as of the debt modification date over the term of the amended debt. The Company expenses any fees paid to third parties and capitalizes creditor fees associated with the modification as a debt discount and amortizes them over the term of the amended debt.

Business Combinations

We include the results of operations of the businesses that we acquire as of the acquisition date. We allocate the purchase price of the acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.

2025 Convertible Notes

On June 29, 2021, the Company completed an offering of 6.0% Secured Convertible Notes Due 2025 (“2025 Convertible Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $74,500. The 2025 Convertible Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears and mature on June 29, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2025 Convertible Notes shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, from the date of issuance until the date that is 10 days prior to their maturity date into Common Shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to US$6.49 payable on the business day prior to the date of conversion, adjusted downwards for any cash dividends paid to holders of Common Shares and other customary adjustments. The Company may redeem the Notes at par, in whole or in part, on or after June 29, 2023, if the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares trading on the Canadian Stock Exchange or the NEO Exchange for 15 of the 30 trading days immediately preceding the day on which the Company exercises its redemption right, exceeds 120.0% of the conversion price of the Notes at a Redemption Price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the Redemption Date.

The 2025 Convertible Notes require interest-only payments until June 29, 2025, at a rate of 6.0% per annum, payable semi-annually in June and December and commencing in December 2021. The 2025 Convertible Notes are due in full on June 29, 2025. The Company incurred financing costs of $3,190 in connection with the 2025 Convertible Notes. The principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes and the conversion price are denominated in U.S. dollars. As the functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars, the amount of the liability to be settled depends on the applicable foreign exchange rate on the date of settlement. The 2025 Convertible Notes therefore represent an obligation to issue a fixed number of shares for a variable amount of liability. Due to this conversion feature within the 2025 Convertible Notes, the Company is unable to obtain an exception from derivative accounting. Accordingly, this conversion feature was accounted for as an embedded derivative liability and measured at fair value of $15,099 on the date of issuance of debt with a corresponding debt discount, reflected as a reduction to the carrying value of the Convertible Notes. The Company fair values the derivative liability at each balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the embedded derivative are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The debt discount is amortized over the term of the 2025 Convertible Notes.

2023 Convertible Notes

On June 19, 2020, the Company completed the first tranche of an offering of senior secured convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $12,800. During July 2020, the Company completed subsequent tranches for an aggregate principal amount of $5,960. The Convertible Notes can be exchanged into Common Shares at a conversion price of $3.79 (Canadian Dollars). For the purposes of determining the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion shall be deemed converted from U.S. Dollars into Canadian

Dollars, using the end-of-day exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada on the date immediately preceding the date that the Convertible Note is surrendered for conversion. The Convertible Notes require interest-only payments until December 19, 2023, at a rate of 5.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 commencing on December 31, 2020. The Convertible Notes are due in full on December 19, 2023. The Company incurred financing costs of $175 in connection with issuance of the Convertible Notes. The Company determined that the Convertible Notes represent an obligation to issue a variable number of shares for a variable amount of liability, as the amount of the liability to be settled depends on the applicable foreign exchange rate at the date of settlement. In accordance with ASC 480 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, a conversion feature within a financial instrument to issue a variable number of equity units fails to meet the definition of equity. Accordingly, such a conversion feature must be accounted for as an embedded derivative liability and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Upon initial recognition, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $5,364 within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and a corresponding debt discount, reflected as a reduction to the carrying value of the Convertible Notes. The Company fair values the derivative liability at each balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the embedded derivative are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The debt discount is amortized over the term of the 2023 Convertible Notes.

Private Placement

On February 3, 2022, Columbia Care closed a private placement of $185,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.50% senior-secured first-lien notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and received aggregate gross proceeds of $153,250. The 2026 Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company and were issued at 100.0% of face value. The 2026 Notes accrue interest in arrears which is payable semi-annually and mature on February 3, 2026, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The Company may redeem the 2026 Notes at par, in whole or in part, on or after February 3, 2024, as more particularly described in the fourth supplemental trust indenture governing the 2026 Notes. In connection with the offering of the 2026 Notes, the Company exchanged $31,750 of the Company’s existing 13.0% Term Debt, pursuant to private agreements in accordance with the trust indenture, for an equivalent amount of 2026 Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest and any negotiated premium thereon.

The premium and paid interest were paid out of funds raised from the February 2022 Private Placement. The total unamortized debt and debt issuance costs of $2,153, related to the modified portion of the Term Debt, will be amortized over the term of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest method. The Company incurred $7,189 in creditor fees in connection with the modified Term Debt and 2026 Notes and $301 in third-party legal fees related to 2026 Notes which were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest rate method.

Conversion of Convertible notes

In April 2021, the Company offered an incentive program to the holders of the Convertible Notes, pursuant to which, the Company would issue to each noteholder that surrendered its Convertible Notes for conversion on or before May 28, 2021, 20 Common Shares of the Company on a private placement basis for each one-thousand US dollars aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion. Pursuant to this incentive program, 4,550,139 shares were issued upon of conversion of $13,160 of Convertible Notes. These conversions resulted in recognition of a loss on conversion of $1,580, write down of derivative liability, debt discount and debt amortization of $12,127, $2,855 and $93, respectively and a corresponding credit to paid in capital of $23,919. Convertible note holders of $5,600 of the convertible debt issued in 2020 did not convert their debt into Common Shares and as of September 30, 2021, $5,600 of the convertible debt issued in 2020 was still outstanding.

Mortgages

In December 2021, the Company entered into a term loan and security agreement with a bank. The agreement provides for $20,000 mortgage on real property in New York and carries interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Prime Rate (“Index”) plus 2.25%. The debt is repayable in 59 monthly installments and a final balloon payment due on January 1, 2027, which is estimated at $18,133 as of June 30, 2023. In connection with this Mortgage, the Company incurred financing costs of $655.

In June 2022, the Company entered into a term loan and security agreement with a bank. The agreement provides for $16,500 mortgage on real property in New Jersey and carries interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Prime Rate (“Index”) plus 2.25%.

Concurrent with the closing of the May Private Placement, the Private Notes were exchanged for Notes. In addition, holders of Private Notes were issued additional 130,388 May Warrants with an exercise price of $2.95 (Canadian Dollars).

On July 2, 2020, the Company completed a second private placement of an aggregate of 4,000 units (the “July Units”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000, each July Unit being comprised of (i) $1,000 Notes and (ii) 75 Common Share purchase warrants (the “July Warrants”) with an exercise price of $4.53 (Canadian Dollars) per underlying Common Share.

The Notes are due in full on May 14, 2024. The Company incurred financing costs of $3,373 in connection with the issuance of these Notes. The Notes contain customary terms and conditions, representations and warranties, and events of default.

In addition to the claims raised in SRS’s July 14, 2022 letter, SRS demanded payment of at least $58 million for Green Leaf's purported achievement of a milestone payout contemplated in the Green Leaf Transaction for the time period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. The Company, based on a third-party assessment, determined that the milestone was not achieved. The parties engaged in preliminary negotiations, including a non-binding mediation, about the possibility of entering into a global resolution of outstanding disputes. On March 2, 2023, SRS filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland against the Company, a Company subsidiary, the Company’s Chairman, CEO and CFO, as well as the third-party firm that prepared the aforementioned assessment, seeking in excess of $72 million in damages, in addition to punitive damages, based on asserted legal claims of breach of contract, fraud and intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference with a contract, breach of a fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting a breach of a fiduciary duty and civil conspiracy. The Company (and the other named parties) will assert defenses with respect to the claims in the complaint. However, there can be no assurance that such defenses will be successful and, if they are not successful, that the direct or indirect losses will not be material. Separately, the Company intends to continue to pursue legal recourse against the former Green Leaf shareholders with respect to the approximately $11 million owed to the Company for certain preclosing tax payments.

Additionally, the Company may be contingently liable with respect to other claims incidental to the ordinary course of its operations. In the opinion of management, and based on management’s consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate outcome of such other matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company. Accordingly, no provision has been made in these consolidated financial statements for losses, if any, which might result from the ultimate disposition of these matters should they arise.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3			Total
June 30, 2023
Derivative liability	$	—	$	—	$	(265	)	$	(265	)
	$	—	$	—	$	(265	)	$	(265	)

December 31, 2022
Derivative liability	$	—	$	—	$	(235	)	$	(235	)
	$	—	$	—	$	(235	)	$	(235	)

During the period included in these financial statements, there were no transfers of amounts between levels.

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and key inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 financial instruments:


Financial asset/financial liability	Valuation techniques	Significant unobservable inputs	Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value
Derivative liability	Market approach	Conversion Period	Increase or decrease in conversion period will result in an increase or decrease in fair value

The carrying amounts of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities, current portion of long-term debt and lease liability as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022

approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these items and are not included in the table above. The Company’s other long-term payables, long-term debt and lease liabilities approximate fair value due to the market rate of interest used on initial recognition.

In addition to the disclosures for assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, companies are required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are not presented at their fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based upon market conditions and perceived risks as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These estimates require management's judgement and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities.

Other Business Updates:

On July 31, 2023, the Company announced the following capital markets and operational initiatives:

•

Note Exchanges - The Company has received commitments from several of its largest holders of its 13% senior secured notes due May 2024 (the “2024 notes”) to exchange into the Company’s 9.5% senior secured notes due February 2026, on a one-for-one basis. The Company is in ongoing discussions with a limited group of additional bondholders to exchange more 2024 notes under the same structure. These private exchange agreements will meaningfully reduce the amount of the $38.2 million principal of notes due in May 2024, reduce the cash interest cost for the exchanged notes by 350 basis points, and extend the maturity of the converted notes to February 2026. More details will be provided upon closing of the exchange which will be in the third quarter.

•

Corporate Restructuring - Columbia Care has completed the final phase of its previously announced corporate restructuring plan and expects to realize an additional net benefit to EBITDA of approximately $950,000 in 2023 and approximately $3.8 million in 2024. The primary source of the additional savings is a 52-person headcount reduction, primarily from Green Leaf Medical, LLC corporate redundancy, as well as facility rightsizing and dispositions. These operational improvements are expected to be cash flow positive in 2023 and 2024.

•

Non-core Asset Sales - Following the announcement of the first stage of non-core/underperforming asset sales in Missouri, the Company closed on the sale of its Downtown Los Angeles facility, consisting of a single dispensary and approximately 36,000 square feet of cultivation capacity. Gross proceeds are approximately $9 million, and the Company expects to net $3 million after taxes and the repayment of the outstanding mortgage. This sale will not only add to the Company’s cash balance but will also reduce overall debt and make permanent a net reduction in annual operating costs of more than $8.5 million for Columbia Care operations in California.

•

Voluntary Delisting of Common Shares from Canadian Securities Exchange – The Company voluntarily delisted its common shares from the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”), effective as of market close on August 2, 2023. Columbia Care’s common shares will continue trading on the Cboe Canada, the new business name of the NEO Exchange. Cboe Canada will remain the Company’s primary securities exchange, as it has been since the Company’s initial public listing.

•

Leadership Changes - The Company also announced two senior leadership changes. Effective July 31, 2023, Columbia Care named David Hart as President & Chief Operating Officer and Jesse Channon as Chief Commercial Officer. Mr. Hart will continue to oversee all revenue-driving functions and Mr. Channon, formerly Chief Growth Officer, will oversee retail, wholesale, technology innovation, marketing, and communications.

On August 10, 2023, the Company entered into two term loans and security agreements with a bank as follows:

•

The first agreement provides for a $6,250 mortgage on real property in Maryland and carries interest at a variable rate per annum equal to Wall Street prime rate (“Index”) plus 2.25%.

•

The second agreement provides for $1,800 mortgage on real property in Delaware and carries interest at a variable rate per annum equal to Wall Street prime rate (“Index”) plus 2.25%.

OVERVIEW OF COLUMBIA CARE

Our principal business activity is the production and sale of cannabis. We strive to be the premier provider of cannabis-related products in each of the markets in which we operate. Our mission is to improve lives by providing cannabis-based health and wellness solutions through community partnerships, research, education and the responsible use of our products as a natural means to improve the quality of life of our patients and customers.

COLUMBIA CARE OBJECTIVES AND FACTORS AFFECTING OUR PERFORMANCE

As one of the largest fully integrated operators in the cannabis industry, our strategy to grow our business is comprised of the following key components:

•

Expansion and development within and outside our current markets

•

Patient and customer-centric, leveraging health and wellness focus

•

Consistency and quality of proprietary product portfolio, including branded consumer products

•

Intellectual property and data-driven innovation

Our performance and future success are dependent on several factors. These factors are also subject to inherent risks and challenges, some of which are discussed below.

Branding

We have established a national branding strategy across each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Maintaining and growing our brand appeal is critical to our continued success.

Regulation

We are subject to the local and federal laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We hold all required licenses for the production and distribution of our products in the jurisdictions in which we operate and continuously monitor changes in laws, regulations, treaties and agreements.

Product Innovation and Consumer Trends

Our business is subject to changing consumer trends and preferences, which is dependent, in part, on continued consumer interest in new products. The success of new product offerings, depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to (i) accurately anticipate customer needs; (ii) develop new products that meet these needs; (iii) successfully commercialize new products; (iv) price products competitively; (v) produce and deliver products in sufficient volumes and on a timely basis; and (vi) differentiate product offerings from those of competitors.

Growth Strategies

We have a successful history of growing revenue and we believe we have a strong strategy aimed at continuing our history of expansion in both current and new markets. Our future depends, in part, on our ability to implement our growth strategy including (i) product innovations; (ii) penetration of new markets; (iii) growth of wholesale revenue through third party retailers and distributors; (iv) future development of e-commerce and home delivery distribution capabilities; and (v) expansion of our cultivation and manufacturing capacity. Our ability to implement this growth strategy depends, among other things, on our ability to develop new products that appeal to consumers, maintain and expand brand loyalty, maintain and improve product quality and brand recognition, maintain and improve

competitive position in our current markets, and identify and successfully enter and market products in new geographic areas and segments.

The decrease of $36,825 in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily attributable to a decrease in salary and benefits expenses of $11,063, depreciation and amortization of $12,876, professional fees of $5,537, advertisement and promotion expenses of $5,192, operating office and general expenses of $1,595, and other fees and expenses of $542.

Other Expense, Net

The increase in other expense, net of $14,341 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on debt of $2,181, amortization of debt issuance costs of $270, loss on disposal of group of $9,049, reduction in fair value of the derivative liability of $5,727, loss on deconsolidation of $2,473, and restructuring expense of $3,244. This was partially offset by a decrease in other expenses of $7,516, an earnout adjustment of $476, and interest on lease of $639.

Provisions for Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $16,994 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to an income tax expense of $19,334 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

For the period ended June 30, 2023 the company has a Deferred Tax Asset of approximately $16,661 related to its acquisition of VentureForth LLC, which occurred during 2022. The consideration paid to acquire 100% of the VentureForth Holdings LLC partnership interests was expensed for book purposes. For tax purposes, such consideration is capitalized as the transaction is treated as a deemed asset purchase for tax purposes. Such treatment results in a Deferred Tax Asset. However, because of the limitations of Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code, the company does not expect to recognize the full tax benefit for this specific deferred tax asset.

Non-GAAP Measures

We use certain non-GAAP measures, referenced in this MD&A. These measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation from nor as a substitute for our financial information reported under GAAP. We use non-GAAP measures including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin which may be calculated differently by other companies. These non-GAAP measures and metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented. We also recognize that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-GAAP measures in the evaluation of companies within our industry. Finally, we use non-GAAP measures and metrics in order to facilitate evaluation of operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss for the period to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022:

Adjusted EBITDA

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year periods, was primarily driven by restructuring and disposal activity in addition to improved leverage of revenues across selling, general, and administrative expenses such as facility costs, salary costs, and benefit costs.

Our future financial results are subject to significant potential fluctuations caused by, among other things, growth of sales volume in new and existing markets and our ability to control operating expenses. In addition, our financial results may be impacted significantly by changes to the regulatory environment in which we operate, both on a local, state and federal level.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of our business, capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. Historically, we have relied on external financing as our primary source of liquidity. Our ability to fund our operations and to make capital expenditures depends on our ability to successfully secure financing through issuance of debt or equity, as well as our ability to improve our future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

We are currently meeting our obligations and are earning revenues from our operations. However, we have sustained losses since inception and may require additional capital in the future. We estimate that based on our current business operations and working capital, we will continue to meet our obligations in the short term. As we continue to seek growth through expansion or acquisition, our cash flow requirements and obligations could materially change. As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any significant external capital requirements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, operating activities used $99,783 of cash, primarily resulting from a net loss of $82,161 and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $86,558; this was partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $41,268, equity-based compensation expense of $14,052, debt amortization expense of $4,073, a change in fair value of a derivative liability of $5,697, and a change in deferred taxes of $13,762.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, investing activities used $2,315 of cash pursuant to purchases of property and equipment of $5,740.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, investing activities used $57,682 of cash pursuant to purchases of property and equipment of $58,673; this was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $255 and cash received on deposits of $1,699.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, financing activities used $5,123 of cash, mainly due to the payment of lease liabilities of $3,196, distributions to non-controlling interest holders of $431, taxes paid on equity-based compensation of $433, and repayment of a seller's note of $750.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, financing activities provided $157,707 of cash, mainly due to $153,250 in net proceeds received from the issuance of debt and the issuance of a mortgage of $16,500; this was partially offset by lease liability payments of $2,966 and a debt issuance cost of $7,698.

The above table excludes purchase orders for inventory in the normal course of business.

Effects of Inflation

Rising inflation rates have had a substantial impact on our financial performance to date and may have an impact on our financial performance in the future as our ability to pass on an increase in costs is not entirely within our control.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the future that affect 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.

Judgements estimates and assumptions with the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described below.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, deposits and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, current taxes payable and other current liabilities like interest payable and payroll liabilities, derivative liability, debt and lease liabilities. The fair values of cash and restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities like interest payable and payroll liabilities, short-term debt and lease liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term to maturity or because of the market rate of interest used on initial recognition. Columbia Care classifies its derivative liability as fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

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 fair value contained within the 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.

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

Financial Risk Management

We are exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. Our risk exposures and the impact on our financial instruments is summarized below:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to us if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, subscription receivable, accounts receivable and notes receivable. We do not have significant credit risk with respect to our customers. All cash deposits are with regulated U.S. financial institutions.

We provide credit to our customers in the normal course of business and have established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk but have limited risk as the majority of our sales are transacted with cash. Through our Columbia Care National Credit program, we provide credit to customers in certain markets in which we operate.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. We manage liquidity risk through the management of our capital structure. Our approach to managing liquidity is to estimate cash requirements from operations, capital expenditures and investments and ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing operations and to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

To date, we have incurred significant cumulative net losses and we have not generated positive cash flows from our operations. We have therefore depended on financing from sale of our equity and from debt financing to fund our operations. Overall, we do not expect the

net cash contribution from our operations and investments to be positive in the near term, and we therefore expect to rely on financing from equity or debt.

Market Risk

In addition to business opportunities and challenges applicable to any business operating in a fast-growing environment, our business operates in a highly regulated and multi-jurisdictional industry, which is subject to potentially significant changes outside of our control as individual states as well as the U.S. federal government may impose restrictions on our ability to grow our business profitably or enact new laws and regulations that open up new markets.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of our financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our cash deposits bear interest at market rates.

Currency Risk

Our operating results and financial position are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars. We may enter into financial transactions denominated in other currencies, which would result in Columbia Care’s operations and financial position to be subject to currency transaction and translation risks.

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. We have not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. We are subject to the risk of price variability pursuant to our products due to competitive or regulatory pressures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no significant material changes to the market risks as disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. See also Financial Risk Management in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
