Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend” or the “Company”) believes are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding the prospects of the Company’s industry or the Company’s prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expect”, “likely”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “potential”, “proposed”, “estimate” and other similar words, including negative and grammatical variations thereof, or statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” happen, or by discussions of strategy. Forward-looking statements include estimates, plans, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, targets, guidance, or other statements that are not statements of fact. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to:

the performance of the Company’s business and operations;

 

the Company’s expectations regarding revenues, expenses and anticipated cash needs;

 

the competitive conditions of the industry;

 

federal, state, provincial, territorial, local and foreign government laws, rules and regulations, including federal and state laws in the US relating to cannabis operations in the US;

the legalization of the use of cannabis for medical and/or recreational use in the US and the related timing and impact thereof;

laws and regulations and any amendments thereto applicable to the business and the impact thereof;

 

the competitive advantages and business strategies of the Company;

 

the Company’s ability to source and operate facilities in the US;

 

the Company’s ability to integrate and operate the assets acquired from Arise Bioscience Inc. (“Arise”), the Apothecarium Dispensaries (“The Apothecarium”), Valhalla Confections (“Valhalla”), Ilera Healthcare (“Ilera”), State Flower or ABI SF LLC (“State Flower”), HMS Health, LLC, KCR Holdings LLC, and Gage;

any benefits expected from the Gage Acquisition; and

 

Gage’s plans to continue building a diverse portfolio of branded cannabis assets and business arrangements through investments, strategic business relationships and the pursuit of licenses in attractive retail locations in Michigan.

 

Certain of the forward-looking statements contained herein concerning the cannabis industry and the general expectations of the Company concerning the cannabis industry are based on estimates prepared by the Company using data from publicly available governmental sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of the cannabis industry. Such data is inherently imprecise. The cannabis industry involves risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors, which factors are described further below.

 

With respect to the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things: (i) its ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms; (ii) general economic, financial market, regulatory and political conditions in which the Company operates; (iii) the output from the Company’s operations; (iv) consumer interest in the Company’s products; (v) competition; (vi) anticipated and unanticipated costs; (vii) government regulation of the Company’s activities and products and in the areas of taxation and environmental protection; (viii) the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; (ix) the Company’s ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; (x) the Company’s ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient and effective manner; and (xi) the Company’s construction plans and timeframe for completion of such plans.

 

Readers are cautioned that the above list of cautionary statements is not exhaustive. Known and unknown risks, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, current and future market conditions; risks related to federal, state, provincial, territorial, local and foreign government laws, rules and regulations, including federal and state laws in the United States relating to cannabis operations in the United States; and those discussed under Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The purpose of forward-looking statements is to provide the reader with a description of management’s expectations, and such forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for any other purpose. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are based on the beliefs, estimates, expectations and opinions of management on the date such

 


 

forward-looking statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.

Acquisitions

 

Gage

On March 10, 2022, in order to expand its footprint in key markets, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares (or equivalent) of Gage, a cultivator and processor with operations in the Michigan market. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement agreement, for each Gage subordinate voting share and other equity instruments, including outstanding stock options and warrants, each holder received a 0.3001 equivalent replacement award of the Company's respective security at the time of closing based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Stock Exchange ("CSE") on March 10, 2022. On the acquisition date there was consideration in the form of 51,349,978 Common Shares valued at $207,871, 13,504,500 exchangeable units valued at $66,591, 5,221,542 replacement stock options with a fair value of $13,147, and 282,023 replacement warrants with a fair value of $435. Each of the directors, officers and 10% shareholders of Gage entered into voting support and lock-up agreements in which the shares issued to these individuals are subject to various vesting periods. As such, a restriction discount of $45,336 has been placed over the shares subject to lock-up. The fair value of the replacement options and warrants was calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model combined with the percentage of the vesting period that was completed prior to the acquisition. Additionally, total consideration included warrant liabilities convertible into equity with a fair value of $6,756.

 

The following table presents the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 10, 2022 acquisition date and allocation of the consideration to net assets acquired:

The acquired intangible assets include cultivation and processing licenses, as well as retail licenses, which are treated as definite-lived intangible assets which are amortized over a 15 year period. The fair value of the cultivation and processing and the retail licenses are $77,198 and $53,321, respectively. In addition, the intangible assets include brand intangibles which are treated as indefinite lived intangible assets. The fair value of the brand intangibles is $57,435.

The consideration paid reflected the synergies, economies of scale, and workforce. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The accounting for this acquisition has been provisionally determined at March 31, 2022. The fair value of net assets acquired, specifically with respect to inventory, intangible assets, deferred revenue, property and equipment, operating right of use assets, lease liabilities, investments, corporate income taxes payable, deferred tax liability, and goodwill have been determined provisionally and are subject to adjustment. Upon completion of a comprehensive valuation and finalization of the purchase price allocation, the amounts above may be adjusted retrospectively to the acquisition date in future reporting periods.

Costs related to this transaction were $3,353, including legal, accounting, due diligence, and other transaction-related expenses. Of the total amount of transaction costs, $713 was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and was included in transaction and restructuring costs in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

On a standalone basis, had the Company acquired the business on January 1, 2022, sales estimates would have been $23,950 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and net loss estimates would have been $17,116. Actual sales and net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 since the date of acquisition are $11,434 and $7,905, respectively.

Contingent consideration

Contingent consideration recorded relates to the Company’s business acquisitions. Contingent consideration is based upon the potential earnout of the underlying business unit and is measured at fair value using a projection model for the business and the formulaic structure for determining the consideration under the terms of the agreement.

Depreciation expense was $2,486 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 ($1,736 included in cost of sales) and $1,966 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ($1,098 included in cost of sales).

A sale-leaseback transaction occurs when an entity sells an asset it owns and then immediately leases the asset back from the buyer. The seller then becomes the lessee and the buyer becomes the lessor. Under ASC 842, both parties must assess whether the buyer-lessor has obtained control of the asset and a sale has occurred. The Company's subsidiary Gage entered into leaseback transactions on five properties of owned real estate. The Company has determined that these transactions do not qualify as a sale because control was not transferred to the buyer-lessor. Therefore, the Company has classified the lease portion of the transaction as a finance lease and continues to depreciate the asset. The Gage acquisition (refer to Note 4) included financing obligations in which the fair value of $12,184. Of this amount, $580 is included in other current liabilities and $11,604 is included in financing obligations in the consolidated balance sheets.

The total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the exercise date and the price paid by the option holder to the exercise the option) related to stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was $61 and $3,077 respectively. The total estimated fair value of stock options that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2,511 and $2,994, respectively.

 

Volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company's stock price. The expected life in years represents the period of time that the options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on US treasury bond issues with a remaining

Capital management

The Company’s objective in managing capital is to ensure a sufficient liquidity position to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. In order to achieve this objective, the Company prepares a capital budget to manage its capital structure. The Company defines capital as borrowings, equity comprised of issued share capital, share-based payments, accumulated deficit, as well as funds borrowed from related parties.

Since inception, the Company has primarily financed its liquidity needs through the issuance of share capital through borrowings. The equity issuances are outlined in Note 11 and debt issuances are outlined in Note 8.

The Company is subject to financial covenants as a result of its loans payable with various lenders. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 31, 2022. Other than these items related to loans payable as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Effective March 31, 2022, the Ilera term loan (refer to Note 8) was amended to provide the Company with greater flexibility, and the optional prepayment date was amended to 30 months (from 18 months) from the closing date, subject to a premium payment due.

Contingent Consideration Payable

The fair value of contingent consideration at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was determined using a probability weighted model based on the likelihood of achieving certain revenue and EBITDA scenario outcomes. A discount rate of 12.2% (March 31, 202112.8%) was utilized to determine the present value of the liabilities, resulting in a loss on revaluation of contingent consideration of $119 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (March 31, 2021 - $2,997).

The illustrative variance of the total contingent consideration at March 31, 2022 based on reasonably possible changes to one of the significant unobservable inputs, holding other inputs constant, would have the following effects:

Commitments and contingencies

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to intellectual property, product liability, employment, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated balance sheets or results of operations. However, an unforeseen unfavorable development. At March 31, 2022, there were no pending lawsuits other than those disclosed that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Results from Operations- Three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021

The decrease in net revenue at March 31, 2022 as compared to March 31, 2021 was due to a decrease in wholesale revenue of $14,443 from $38,384 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $23,941 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This reduction in wholesale revenue was mainly related to a reset of the Company's cultivation facility in Pennsylvania and a recall by the Pennsylvania Department of Health of certain vape products produced by the Company. On February 4, 2022, more than 500 vape products were recalled by the Pennsylvania's Department of Health, including several of the Company's SKUs. As a result of the recall, the Company recorded sales returns of $1,040 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, the Company continued its intentional accumulation of inventory in New Jersey, versus selling wholesale, in preparation for adult use sales.

This decrease is partially offset by an increase of $10,748 in retail sales from $14,970 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $25,718 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 which is primarily a result of the increase in retail dispensaries across Pennsylvania, California, and New Jersey, as well as the acquisition of Gage (the "Gage Acquisition") in Michigan in March 2022. Retail dispensaries increased from nine in the first quarter of 2021 to twenty-five during the first quarter of 2022.

The increase in cost of sales, as well as cost of sales as a percentage of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was driven mainly by lower volumes in Pennsylvania leading to under-absorption, primarily related to lower wholesale flower sales, as well as the aforementioned vape recall.

 

As a result of the recall, the Company wrote off $854 of inventory. In addition, management wrote down its inventory by $219 and $584 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to inventory that it deemed unsaleable.

The increase in amortization and depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily due to the Gage Acquisition during March 2022 as the Company recorded additional definite lived intangible assets of $130,519.

The decrease in the revaluation of contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 is a result of a reduction in the liability as compared to March 31, 2021 due to payments for the earnout of Ilera of $29,668, and State Flower of $6,954 made subsequent to March 31, 2021, reducing the amount outstanding. This decrease is partially offset by the accretion of the contingent consideration payable for KCR, which are recorded at the present value of future payments upon initial recognition.

The Preferred Share warrant liability has been remeasured to fair value at March 31, 2022 using the Black Scholes model. The Company recognized a gain during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of the reduction of the Company's share price from December 31, 2021 as compared to March 31, 2022, as well as from warrants exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The combined impact resulted in a gain on fair value of warrants of $7,208. Additionally, the Company remeasured the warrant liability acquired through the Gage Acquisition at March 31, 2022 using the Black Scholes model. The Company recognized a loss of $3,864 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of the increase in the Company's stock price at the acquisition date of March 10, 2022, as compared to March 31, 2022.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a loss on fair value of warrants of $5,410 as a result of the increase in the Company's share price from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the purchase option derivative asset related to the option to purchase an additional 6.25% ownership of the Company's New Jersey partnership, was remeasured using the Monte Carlo simulation model and resulted in a loss of $318.

The calculation of working capital provides additional information and is not defined under GAAP. The Company defines working capital as current assets less current liabilities. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP.

At March 31, 2022, TerrAscend had cash and cash equivalents of $88,407, which is sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing operations. Any additional future requirements will be funded through the following sources of capital:

Cash from ongoing operations

 

Market offerings

 

Debt - the Company may seek to obtain additional debt from additional creditors.

 

Sale leaseback - the Company may seek to sell and lease back its capital properties.

 

Exercise of options and warrants - the Company would receive funds from exercise of options and warrants from the holders of such securities in the event they are exercised.

 

For additional information regarding regulatory and legal risks, please see Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed on March 17, 2022.

The Company’s objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure it has sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations and finance its research and development activities, corporate and administration expenses, working capital and overall capital expenditures. Since inception, the Company has primarily financed its liquidity needs through the issuance of shares and utilization of borrowings.

 


 

The Company has $280,332 in principal amounts of loans payable at March 31, 2022. Of this amount, $59,490 are due within the next twelve months. The Company has entered into operating leases for certain premises and offices for which it owes monthly lease payments.

In addition, the Company's undiscounted contingent consideration payable is $10,820 at March 31, 2022. The contingent consideration payable relates to the Company's business acquisitions of The Apothecarium, State Flower, and KCR. Contingent consideration is based upon the potential earnout of the underlying business unit and is measured at fair value using a projection model for the business and the formulaic structure for determining the consideration under the agreement. The contingent consideration is revalued at the end of each reporting period.

The Company expects that its cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with financing transactions, will be adequate to meet its capital requirements and operational needs for at least the next 12 months.

The increase in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to an increase in loss from operations to $10,030 from a profit of $12,677 in the prior year period, as well as a $5,276 increase in changes in working capital items.

The net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily relates to the cash acquired through the Gage Acquisition of $24,716. The cash provided by investing activities is offset by investments in property and equipment of $4,193 primarily related to the buildout of a cultivation site in Maryland, continuing renovations at the Company's Pennsylvania cultivation site, as well as the continued buildout of the Company's Lodi alternative treatment center in New Jersey.

In comparison, the cash outflow from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily related to investments in property and equipment of $8,311 related to the buildout of the New Jersey operations and expansions in Pennsylvania cultivation and deposits of $4,826 paid for expansion of the cultivation premises in Pennsylvania.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 7,989,436 Common Share warrants were exercised for total proceeds of $23,330 and 68,215 stock options were exercised at $1.93-$5.21 (C$2.42-$6.53) per unit for total gross proceeds of $192. The cash provided by financing activities was offset by payments of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of State Flower of $6,630.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was mainly the result of the private placement on January 28, 2021, in which the Company issued 18,115,656 Common Shares at a price of $9.64 (C$12.35) per Common Share for total proceeds of $173,477, net of share issuance costs of $1,643. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, 1,486,075 Common Share warrants were exercised for total proceeds of $3,854 and 381,820 stock options were exercised at $0.67-$6.34 (C$0.85-$8.09) per unit for total gross proceeds of $1,499. In addition, 1,570 preferred share warrants were exercised at $3,000 per unit for total gross proceeds of $3,735.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to reporting the financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used by management do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that certain investors and analysts

 


 

use these measures to measure a company's ability to meet other payment obligations or as a common measurement to value companies in the cannabis industry, and the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for material non-cash items and certain other adjustments management believes are not reflective of the ongoing operations and performance. Such information is 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. The Company believes this definition is a useful measure to assess the performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of the Company's underlying business performance and other one-time non-recurring expenses.

 

The table below reconciles net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

(a)
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
(b)
In connection with the Company's acquisitions, inventory was acquired at fair value, which included a markup or markdown for profit. Recording inventory at fair value in purchase accounting has the effect of increasing or decreasing inventory and thereby increasing or decreasing cost of sales as compared to the amounts the Company would have recognized if the inventory was sold through at cost. The write-up or down of acquired inventory represents the incremental cost of sales that were recorded during purchase accounting.
(c)
On February 4, 2022, more than 500 vape products were recalled by the Pennsylvania's Department of Health, including several of the Company's SKUs. As a result of the recall the Company recorded sales returns of $1,040 and wrote off $854 of inventory.

In addition, includes one-time charges for work completed in preparation of becoming a US filer. These fees are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing costs.
(h)
Represents the (gain) loss on fair value of warrants, including effects of the foreign exchange of the US denominated preferred share warrants, as well as the revaluation of the fair value of the purchase option derivative asset.
(i)
Represents the reduction to the indemnification asset related to the Apothecarium tax audit settlement and statute expirations for tax years ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015.

Represents unrealized and realized loss (gain) on fair value changes on strategic investments.
(k)
Represents the remeasurement of USD denominated cash and other assets recorded in C$ functional currency.

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to lower volume and resulting gross margin compression in Pennsylvania related to the reset of the facility and associated reduction in the wholesale business.

Pending and Subsequent Transactions

 

On April 8, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Allegany Medical Marijuana Dispensary ("AMMD"), a medical dispensary in Maryland from Moose Curve Holdings, LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire 100% equity interest in AMMD for total consideration of $10,000 in cash, in addition to acquiring the real estate for $1,700. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The Company intends to rebrand the 8,000 square foot dispensary as The Apothecarium.

 

 


 

On April 14, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire KISA Enterprises MI, LLC and KISA Holdings, LLC ("Pinnacle"), a dispensary operator in Michigan, and related real estate, for total consideration of $28,500. The transaction includes six retail dispensary licenses, five of which are currently operational and located in the cities of Addison, Buchanan, Camden, Edmore, and Morenci. The Company intends to rebrand each of the dispensaries under either the Gage or Cookies retail brand.

Changes in or Adoption of Accounting Principles

Information regarding the Company's adoption of new accounting and reporting standards is discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Descriptions of the recently issued and adopted accounting principles are included in Item 1. "Financial Statements" in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's future financial statements will be affected. There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed on March 17, 2022.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that the Company (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more, or (c) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th; and (ii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in the Company's primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2022 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 


 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings. Other than as noted below, TerrAscend believes that none of the litigation in which it is currently involved, or has been involved, in individually or in the aggregate, is material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

PharmHouse and 261 Matter

On October 15, 2018, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary TerrAscend Canada entered into a multi-year cultivation agreement (the “PharmHouse Agreement”) with PharmHouse Inc. (“PharmHouse”), a joint venture between RIV Capital and 2615975 Ontario Inc., the operators of a leading North American greenhouse produce company (“261”). Under the terms of the PharmHouse Agreement, it was expected that PharmHouse would grow and supply cannabis to TerrAscend Canada from its existing 1.3 million square foot greenhouse located in Leamington, Ontario. Once fully licensed, the production of flower, trim and clones from up to 20% of the dedicated flowering space planted at the greenhouse was expected to be made available to TerrAscend Canada. To date, PharmHouse has not yet delivered product in accordance with the terms of the PharmHouse Agreement.

 

On September 11, 2020, the Company and TerrAscend Canada were informed that a statement of claim was issued on August 31, 2020 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by 261 against RIV Capital, Canopy Growth, the Company and TerrAscend Canada (the “261 Claim”). In the 261 Claim, 261 alleged the Company worked with the other defendants to bankrupt PharmHouse in order to avoid having to purchase certain products to be provided by PharmHouse under the PharmHouse Agreement. 261 sought damages from the defendants in the amount of C$500 million and alleged certain causes of action, including bad faith, fraud, civil conspiracy, breach of the duty of honesty and good faith in contractual relations and breach of fiduciary duty.

 

On September 16, 2020, PharmHouse obtained an order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granting PharmHouse creditor protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”). Pursuant to the CCAA order, the 261 Claim has been stayed. During a CCAA hearing in November, 261 objected to the stay of the 261 Claim. The judge presiding over the CCAA process agreed to allow 261 to discontinue the 261 Claim against the defendants “without prejudice” to its right to recommence the 261 Claim against all parties except PharmHouse Inc., provided that such recommenced claim can only be brought after January 1, 2021. This does not affect any of the defendants’ ability to move for a stay of the recommenced 261 Claim. On February 10, 2021, 261 served the Company and TerrAscend Canada with the recommenced 261 Claim. The recommenced 261 Claim contains the same factual allegations as the 261 Claim, the same legal claims and the same relief sought.

 

On May 1, 2022, the Company received a full and final release from the 261 Claim. As a result, the Company will not accrue any contingencies with respect to the 261 Claim.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. For a detailed discussion of the risks that affect our business, please refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2022. There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
