Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this document regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “forecast,” “continue” or “could” or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Furthermore, forward-looking statements may be included in various filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. These known and unknown risks include, without limitation: marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and enforcement of cannabis laws could change;, the Company may face limitations on ownership of cannabis licenses; the Company may become subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; the Company may face difficulties acquiring additional financing; the Company operates in a highly regulated sector and may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business; the Company is subject to general economic risks; the Company may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic condition; the Company is subject to risks arising from epidemic diseases, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19; the Company may face difficulties in enforcing its contracts; the Company is subject to taxation in Canada and the United States; cannabis businesses are subject to unfavorable tax treatment; cannabis businesses may be subject to civil asset forfeiture; the Company is subject to proceeds of crime statutes; the Company faces security risks; our use of joint ventures may expose us to risks associated with jointly owned investments; competition for the acquisition and leasing of properties suitable for the cultivation, production and sale of medical and adult use cannabis may impede our ability to make acquisitions or increase the cost of these acquisitions, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition; the Company faces risks related to its products; the Company is dependent on the popularity of consumer acceptance of the Company’s brand portfolio; the Company faces risks related to its insurance coverage and uninsurable risks; the Company is dependent on key inputs, suppliers and skilled labor; the Company must attract and maintain key personnel or our business will fail; the Company’s business is subject to the risks inherent in agricultural operations; the Company’s sales are difficult to forecast; the Company’s products may be subject to product recalls; the Company may face unfavorable publicity or consumer perception; the Company faces intense competition; and additional issuances of Subordinate Voting Shares may result in dilution. Further information on these and other potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial condition and the results of operations are included in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021, and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website or on the Company’s website at https://investors.medmen.com/. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this document, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports to the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this document.

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.

Three and Six Months Ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020

(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

 

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 adopted ASU 2019-12 on June 27, 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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. The Company adopted ASU 2020-01 on June 27, 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

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.

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “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”), which amends existing guidance for earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260. ASU 2021-04 is effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2022. This update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Subtopic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”), which is intended to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2023. This update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.

Discontinued Operations

 

In February 2021, the Company entered into an investment agreement with respect to its New York operations whereby a controlling interest would be acquired by a third party. The operations within the state of New York qualified as discontinued operations. The assets associated with the New York component were measured at the lower of the carrying amount or FVLCTS (Fair Value Less Cost to Sell ) upon classification as held for sale wherein the fair value based on the exit price of $73,000 under ASC 820 was greater than the carrying value. See “Note 22 – Discontinued Operations” for further information. On January 3, 2022, the Company announced its termination of the investment agreement. Refer to “Note 23 – Subsequent Events”.

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:

 

     
   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:

 

          
    

Top-Up

Provision

    

Short-Term

Warrant

 
Average Stock Price  $0.18   $0.18 
Weighted-Average Probability   75.00%   nil 
Term (in Years)   5.00    0.02 
Expected Stock Price Volatility   115.00%   115.00%

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 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:

 

     
Expected Stock Price Volatility   52.60%
Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate   0.06%
Expected Life (in Years)   0.23 
Share Price  $0.23

Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

 

On October 1, 2018, the Company closed a $73,275 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. 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.

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.

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.

 

The Company incurred an amendment fee of $834 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. 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.

 

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. 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.

 

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. The warrants may be exercised at the election of their holders on a cashless basis and are classified as equity instruments. 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.

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:

Weighted-Average Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate   0.13%
Weighted-Average Expected Annual Dividend Yield   0%
Weighted-Average Expected Stock Price Volatility   92.06%
Weighted-Average Expected Life of Warrants   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 August 17, 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. 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.

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:

 

                    
   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.

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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of MedMen Enterprises Inc. (“MedMen Enterprises”, “MedMen” or the “Company”) is for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and those discussed in Item 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021. Except for historical information, the discussion in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Future results could differ materially from those discussed below for many reasons, including the risks described in “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” Item 1A—”Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

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 December 25, 2021, the Company owns 29 store locations across California (12), Florida (7), Nevada (3), Illinois (1), Arizona (1), Massachusetts (1) and New York (4). On December 21, 2021, we announced the opening of our newest store location in Boston’s famed Fenway Park area. Occupying 4,725 square feet of prime retail space on 120 Brookline Avenue, MedMen Fenway marks the Company’s entry into Massachusetts’ booming adult-use market.

 

On September 30, 2021, the landlord of the California and Nevada Cultivation Facilities approved the third party to operate the leased facilities which effectuated the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement provides the third party an option to acquire all the assets used in the Cultivation Facilities, including the cannabis licenses and equipment, for $1 (the “Purchase Option”). The fee for the services under the Management Agreement is 100% and 30% of the California and Nevada Cultivation Facilities net revenue, respectively. The term of the Management Agreement remains in effect until the earlier of (a) the closing of any sale pursuant to the Purchase Option and (b) the expiration of the term, as applicable, of the master lease, at which time this Management Agreement shall automatically terminate without any further action of the Parties. As of December 25, 2021, the Management Agreement remains in effect as neither termination condition has occurred.. The Company determined that as of the effective date of the Management Agreement, or October 1, 2021, the Company no longer has a controlling interest in the Cultivation Facilities, 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.

 

On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive investment agreement (the “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. would 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. would be purchased for $10,000,000 in cash. The proceeds in cash would 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 $5,559,956 and $5,151,304 for the three months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively, and $10,407,258 and $9,391,363 for the six months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020. On January 3, 2022, we announced the termination of this Investment Agreement.

Factors Affecting Our Business

 

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, New York, Florida and Massachusetts. As we continue to drive to increase sales, management expects to leverage its retail footprint to develop a robust distribution model.

 

    Ø On October 19, 2021, we announced the re-opening of our Tallahassee, Florida store location on 1126 Thomasville Road. The approximately 4,000-square-foot Tallahassee storefront occupies a critical hub in Florida’s capital city.
       
    Ø On December 21, 2021, we announced the opening of our newest store location in Boston’s famed Fenway Park area. Occupying 4,725 square feet of prime retail space on 120 Brookline Avenue, MedMen Fenway marks the Company’s entry into Massachusetts’ booming adult-use market.

 

Our retail store count is as follows:

 

   December 25,   December 26, 
   2021   2020 
Active Stores*   29    24 
Temporarily Closed**   4    5 
Total Stores   33    29 

 

 

*Number of active stores includes four in the state of New York which are classified as discontinued operations.
**For the fiscal second quarter of 2022, four retail locations in the state of Florida have remained temporarily closed in order to redirect inventory from its Eustis cultivation facility to its highest performing stores. As of December 25, 2021, the Company had 25 active retail locations related to continuing operations.

 

  Direct-to-Consumer Channel Rollout. MedMen Delivery is available in California and Florida. The Company benefited from increased traction with in-store pickup as well as delivery service, curbside pickup and loyalty rewards program. During the second quarter, we invested $1,129,099 in sales and marketing of which $551,000 was in the support of new innovative direct-to-consumer initiatives.

 

 

COVID-19. We continuously address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a discussion of which is available in sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and “COVID-19 Pandemic” in Item 7 under in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2021. Our business and operating results for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021, continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Omicron variant. During the second quarter, we experienced declines in traffic during key holidays, including the week of Thanksgiving and of Christmas, which typically drive volume as customers shop for the holidays. The overall impact on our business continues to 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. The Company continues to implement and evaluate actions to strengthen its financial position and support the continuity of its business and operations.

 

Trends

 

MedMen is subject to various trends that could have a material impact on the Company, its financial performance and condition, and its outlook as the company progresses into the future. 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 liberalization of cannabis laws, popular support for cannabis legalization, new and changing price discounting market practices and balanced supply and demand in states.

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.

 

Revenue in various states in which we operate is as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended       Six Months Ended     
   December 25,   December 26,           December 25,   December 26,         
   2021   2020   $ Change   % Change   2021   2020   $ Change   % Change

Consolidated Revenue   39.1    32.6    6.5    20%   78.9    67.7    11.2    17%
                                         
New York - Discontinued Operations   4.5    2.9    1.6    55%   8.7    5.0    3.7    74%
                                         
Total Revenue  $43.6   $35.5   $8.1    23%  $99.4   $59.7   $39.7    66%

 

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.

 

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.

 

41

 

 

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 are here in collectively referred to us the “non-GAAP financial measures”.

 

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 non-GAAP 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.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

 

Retail Performance Non- GAAP Financial Measures

 

Within the cannabis industry, MedMen is uniquely focused on the retail component of the value chain. On a sequential quarter basis, 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) follows our Retail Performance non-GAAP financial measures.

(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.

For the fiscal second quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) includes Corporate SG&A (Non-GAAP) of $18.9 million, which is consistent with the fiscal first quarter of 2022.

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 improvements in Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) were primarily due to the increase revenue and gross profit as the Company recovers from the COVID-19 impact compared to the prior period and changes in the provision for income taxes as described above.

(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, 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%.

 

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 $(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 six months ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020:

 

   Six Months Ended         
   December 25,   December 26,         
($ in Millions)  2021   2020   $ Change   % Change

Cash and Cash Equivalents, End of Period  $47.7   $6.8   $40.9    601%

 

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, Liquidity and 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 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 December 25, 2021 and June 26, 2021:

 

   December 25,   June 26,         
($ in Millions)  2021   2021   $ Change   % Change

Total Shareholders’ Equity  $(219.3)  $(253.6)  $34.3    (14%)
Working Capital Deficit  $(191.2)  $(191.9)  $(0.7)   0%

 

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.

 

Amendment and Extension of Convertible Facility

 

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”, or the “Notes”) co-issued by the Company and MM Can USA, Inc. (“MM CAN” or “MedMen Corp.”). As of December 25, 2021, the Company has drawn down on a total of $165,000,000 on the Convertible Facility. 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 August 17, 2021, the Company announced that Superhero Acquisition, L.P. (“Superhero”), a newly formed limited partnership established by Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”) and other strategic investors , acquired a majority of the outstanding GGP Notes. Under the terms of the transaction Superhero acquired an aggregate principal amount of approximately $165,800,000 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. 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 Convertible Facility (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 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 higher of: (a) trailing 30-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares or (b) the lowest discounted price available pursuant to the pricing policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). The Notes may not be prepaid until the federal legalization of marijuana. The Notes, as amended, 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.

Backstopped Equity Investment

 

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 (each, a “Unit”) 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”). Each Unit consisted of one Class B Subordinate Voting Share and one-quarter share purchase warrant. Each warrant permits the holder to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of $0.288 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Company issued a total of 416,666,640 Subordinate Voting Shares and 104,166,660 warrants for gross proceeds of $100,000,000. The proceeds from the 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.

 

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 expired on December 31, 2021. At the option of the holders and upon payment of $30,000,000, 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) $30,000,000 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 Company will use any proceeds, less fees and expenses, from exercise of the Short-Term Warrant to pay down the existing senior secured term loan with Hankey Capital if any indebtedness is then outstanding.

 

In consideration for the Backstop Commitment, the Company paid a fee of $2,500,000 in the aggregate to such parties in the form of 10,416,666 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares at a deemed price of $0.24 per share. In connection with the equity financing, the Company granted SPE the right to designate one individual to be nominated to serve as a director of the Company.

 

Unsecured Promissory Note

 

On July 29, 2021, the Company entered into a short-term unsecured promissory note in the amount of $5,000,000 with various investors led by SPE wherein the note bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum payable quarterly in arrears with a maturity date of August 18, 2021. On August 17, 2021, the Company settled the promissory note by the issuance of 20,833,333 Units, consisting of 20,833,333 Subordinate Voting Shares and 5,208,333 warrants based on an issue price of $0.24 and the relative portion of the Short-Term Warrant, issued as part of the Private Placement.

 

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 callable in tranches of $1,000,000 each. The debentures provide for the automatic conversion into Subordinate Voting Shares in the event that the VWAP is 50% above the conversion price on the CSE for 45 consecutive trading days.

 

On June 28, 2021, the remaining balance of the Unsecured Convertible Facility of $2,500,000 was automatically converted into 16,014,664 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares in the amount of $2,007,620. 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. As of December 25, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Unsecured Convertible Facility was nil.

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.

Gotham Green Partners

 

As discussed in Item 2 “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Item 2 “Quarterly Highlights”, the Company has engaged in a strategic partnership with Gotham Green Partners, a related party. The arrangement is to provide financing to the Company in the form of a credit facility up to $250,000,000 accessed through issuances of convertible senior secured notes (the “Notes”) co-issued by the Company and MM CAN USA, Inc. The Notes are 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 of April 23, 2022. In addition, upon issuance of any Notes, the lenders are issued share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) of the Company, each of which are exercisable to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share for 36 months from the date of issue. 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. While the Notes are outstanding, the lenders will be entitled to the collective rights to appoint a representative to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in a non-voting observer capacity. 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%. The convertible facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum. All convertible notes will have a maturity date of 36 months from the maturity date, with a twelve-month extension feature available to the Company on certain conditions. As of February 3, 2022, the Company has drawn down on approximately $165,000,000 of the Convertible Facility. Refer to “Note 11 – Senior Secured Convertible Credit Facility” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended December 25, 2021 in Item 1.

 

Tilray, Inc.

 

In August 2021, Superhero, a newly formed limited partnership established by Tilray and other strategic investors acquired the majority of the outstanding Notes and Warrants held by GGP by acquiring 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 Superhero, which are convertible into, and exercisable for, approximately 21% of the outstanding Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of MedMen. While the Notes are outstanding, Tilray will have the right to appoint two representatives to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in a non-voting observer capacity.

 

Serruya Private Equity, Inc.

 

In August 2021, the Company executed an equity offering with various investors led by Serruya Private Equity, Inc. in which the Company issued 416,666,640 Subordinate Voting Shares and 104,166,660 warrants for gross proceeds of $100,000,000. SPE can nominate one member to the Board of Directors so long as SPE has at least 9% of the Class B Subordinate Voting Shares on fully-diluted basis. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company appointed Michael Serruya, SPE’s Managing Director, as a member of its board of directors. In November 2021, the Company appointed Michael Serruya, SPE’s Managing Director, as its Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer.

 

SierraConstellation Partners

 

In March 2020, the Company entered into restructuring plan and retained SierraConstellation Partners (“SCP”) wherein Tom Lynch, a Partner and Senior Managing Director at SCP, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and Tim Bossidy, a Director at SCP, was appointed as Chief Operating Officer.

In addition, during the six months ended December 25, 2021, Mr. Lynch and Mr. Bossidy each received 214,030 stock options and 850,036 restricted stock units.

 

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITAVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Information not required to be filed by smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15-d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of December 25, 2021, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three ended December 25, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements attributable to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Assessments of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements as a result of error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Other than noted below, there have been no material developments during the fiscal quarter covered by this Report for our legal proceedings that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 24, 2021.

 

On November 23, 2021, the Company announced that it had prevailed in a lawsuit brought by former CFO James Parker. In 2019, Parker filed suit against the Company, alleging wrongful termination, breach of contract and retaliation, seeking in excess of $20,000,000.00 in damages. The jury determined that the lawsuit and claims were baseless and without merit, ruling in favor of the Company on all claims and determining that the Company does not owe Parker any damages. The Company also asserted affirmative claims against Parker. The jury found that Parker breached his contract, his fiduciary duty, his duty of loyalty, misappropriated trade secrets, and committed conversion, but that there was no harm/damage resulting from his misconduct.

 

On January 13, 2022, Ascend Wellness Holdings, Inc. and AWH New York, LLC filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Commercial Division, against MedMen NY, Inc., MM Enterprises USA, LLC, Project Compassion NY, LLC and Project Compassion Capital, LLC seeking specific performance and a declaratory judgement relating to the Investment Agreement dated February 25, 2021 between the parties.
